Your ‘oh my god’ celebrity gossip....

977 replies

What has been your ‘oh my god’ moments in celebrity gossip?

Mine have been:

  • Jay-Z and Solange in the elevator
  • Detective Coleen Rooney making her case
  • Kanye West ‘imma let you finish’ with Taylor Swift

They all genuinely shocked me when reported, and for the love of twitter VardyGate was fantastic.

And before anyone gets in, yes I have got a life, I just enjoy celebrity gossip as a bit of freedom from the day to day. But well done on you for not caring and being better than me Wink

@Letstalkabout6
Thank you! Not sure how I missed it Smile

I find something really unlikeable about Reese Witherspoon. I saw a clip of her on Graham Norton and she couldn’t bear the attention to be off her for a moment. She was all “Ooh I can sing the Friends theme song!!” and then got it wrong and everyone was too nice to tell her.

I've not had time to read through all these so probably am repeating.

For me, the most shocking was the whole Hutchence/Yates saga, right up to Peaches' death. Just so sad.

Others worth a mention...
Gazza trying to reason with a killer
Jamie Theakstone in a dungeon
Hello (or OK?) covering Jade Goody's death BEFORE she had died.. just awful
Frank Bruno when he thought he was someone else
Michael Jackson marrying Lisa Presley

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/11/2019 02:10

Also Paula Yates' mum's book... lots of shockers in there, and how she thinks Hughie Green couldn't possibly be Paula's dad (DNA said otherwise).. Worryingly, she may have been raped though.. (not seen the face, I think)

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/11/2019 02:11

As in, her husband could have ok'd the liaison.... he was not sound of mind either

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/11/2019 02:12

David Icke.... although having since read all the books, I have had an 'oh shit' moment... what if he's right?!!! not about the lizards though

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/11/2019 02:17

the fact that Posh once went out with Corey Haim
Also his tragic death (and the revelations that came out after... I loved him in the 80s)

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/11/2019 02:24

Just remembered my all time favourite piece of gossip, though sadly turned out to be false!
Courtney Love being pregnant with Steve Coogan's baby.

Bluntness100 · 08/11/2019 08:36

Yeah the Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson thing was so weird. I read an interview with her after they split and she basically said he was off his head. His level of paranoia was huge, she couldn't even go get w coffee or something as he was truly convinced she would be kidnapped. Said it all became too much for her. I suspect this reality was that was not a real marriage, even though she proclaimed it was.

A rumour that hasn't actually surprised me at all is that George Clooney has been known to enjoy the company of other men. This from a friend who is very involved in the acting industry.

babypossum · 09/11/2019 09:00

The Aussie male neighbour had a one night stand with my good male friend in his drug fuelled time of life.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 11:41

Was he a litigious neighbour @babypossum? Because I've heard the same about him before.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 09/11/2019 11:44

Okay I got one, courtesy of Marina Hyde's Lost in Showbiz. Not gossip either seeing as he said it...

The rapper TI (the twunt who talked about splitting you in two on Blurred Lines) told the podcast Ladies Like Us that he accompanies his 18-year-old daughter on yearly trips to the gynaecologist, ostensibly to have her hymen examined to see if it’s still intact.

“Yes, I go with her,” he said, in comments since edited out of the show, because, you know. Weird. “They come and say: ‘Well, I just want you to know that there are other ways besides sex that the hymen can be broken like bike riding, athletics, horseback riding and just other forms of athletic physical activity.’ So I say: ‘Look, doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen, please, and give me back my results expeditiously.’” Please, doctor, my daughter hasn’t ridden a bike in 18 years of existence. She doesn’t even leave the house. Please just tell me if her hymen is OK.''

I just threw up a little. Envy

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 09/11/2019 11:45

Oh, the twunt comment was mine btw, rest was Marina's

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 11:49

Would any doctor agree to that though? I'm starting to think TI made the story up for attention. No publicity is bad publicity and all that...

babypossum · 09/11/2019 12:13

Queen don't know about that but he's a technicolour type of man.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 14:06

Yes that's the one. Back in the 90s he sued a magazine for saying he was that way inclined!

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 09/11/2019 15:20

Frank cardigan man Bough and his love of cocaine and visiting brothels was quite a shock. He was like the nice grandpa of breakfast TV

Fergie getting her toes sucked I remover everyone enthralled by the pictures on the way to work on the train

The Sun ran a few front page articles I think it was in the 90’s of celebrities they knew had an unhealthy interest in children they hinted at who these men were I think we would be able to name them now

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 09/11/2019 15:26

I find something really unlikeable about Reese Witherspoon

I agree. That she changed her character in Big Little Lies as apparently her character was too perfect - or boring annoyed me even more.

KimchiLaLa · 10/11/2019 20:58

She changed her character entirely? So what is she playing someone else now?!

AloneLonelyLoner · 11/11/2019 08:56

@alltoomuchrightnow you doubt that he may be right?

Of course he's right. Spot on!
