I don't do the Sun but I mentioned on the other thread they did a review of a very luvvie play he was in. They don't do theatre reviews normally. It was one gigantic pisstake.

iSayaPrayer · 08/11/2019 16:31

The DM is horrible. They post pictures of women with a slight swell to their stomach knowing people are going to comment that she is pregnant. And yes for the faux compliment articles where the aim is to get the commenters to discuss the weight/outfit/plastic surgery of the subject.

They just hate women. Along with anyone who isn’t a middle class white man.

Despite all of this - I still click through the sidebar of shame. But mainly just look at the pictures and read the comments for the eye rolls. I realise this makes me part of the problem.

We refer to it as the daily malicious in our house, just vile 😠
Can someone drop hints on the comedians name please 😘

VanyaHargreeves · 08/11/2019 16:46

I feel uncomfortable repeating the same thing when it's a right to privacy issue.

The comedian is in several newspapers today

He is named on the previous thread

Not hard.

ShirleyPhallus · 08/11/2019 18:17

Re nick grimshaw / harry styles

I have it on good authority that they were dating. When all the papers thought Caroline flack was going out with Harry she was living with nick at the time and was happy to go along with it

Very well known in those circles that they have been a couple for ages

Pahoehoe · 08/11/2019 18:22

Nick seems to be denying it pretty hard

SunsetBoulevard3 · 08/11/2019 19:40

Does anyone know anyone famous personally I wonder? Rather than speculation it would be interesting to hear facts...

TrampStamps · 09/11/2019 00:35

What's the rumor on the comedian?

VanyaHargreeves · 09/11/2019 01:08

You know this is why the old threads went, because people insisted in continuously posting about or asking about things that weren't in the spirit combined with a refusal to actually read previous posts and threads

I was surprised Thread 1 didn't go as two things were posted that saw old threads pulled.

I hope your threads don't go @iSayaPrayer

custardbear · 09/11/2019 07:30

Wow just took me two days to catch up ... clues are getting more complex 😆

Holdingtherope · 09/11/2019 09:13

Gobsmacked at most of these.

EachandEveryone · 09/11/2019 09:37

Well I have lost what’s going on it’s too cryptic. It started off as a good idea but now it’s gone off on a tangent.

iSayaPrayer · 09/11/2019 09:57

I’m with you Vanya. And yes Each I’m as bloody lost as you are. The blinds were fun at first as there seemed to be some evidence out and about in the ‘celeb world’ but now it just seems made up. Think this is why the thread has died.

slippyfeet · 09/11/2019 10:54

I agree OP (I've name changed but have been on these threads from the start).

No need for all the blind stuff. Just don't say anything that's going to get either you or MN sued! Gossip is fine there's no need for all the cloak and dagger stuff.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 09/11/2019 11:47

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 11:48

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

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 09/11/2019 11:54

I cannot quote from it as I gave the copy away but am pretty sure one of my favourite bits of gossip was from Piers Morgan's The Insider when he divulged that Jonathan Ross had emailed his wife talking about how he was really looking forward to going to Center Parcs with her (when I say Center Parcs I mean the MN meaning of the word) Wink Not so cute was Morgan using this as leverage to get Wossy to do a film column for ages so he wouldn't print said e-mails. You have to remember back in the day, no straight man ever did anal whereas now it's so ubiquitous no-one would raise an eyebrow.

EachandEveryone · 09/11/2019 12:14

That was another bit of gossip that shocked me re Jonathan Ross. When he was with Jane she was a teenager and he seemed so much older. Same with John Taylor and Amanda de Cadenet. I suppose it was jealousy from my young teenage self.😀

BearSoFair · 09/11/2019 12:34

Out of date now as it seems they've split up, but I was v shocked a few years ago at a rumour from the Shire that a tall British Dwarf and an American Elf were a secret couple. Lots of sightings of them together, Brit even moved to the US for a while and after the apparent split decided to return to the UK. US is openly gay, as far as I know, but Brit is not. Some of his fans were RAging at the suggestion he might be gay, which was RAther sad to see.

GabsAlot · 09/11/2019 12:39

I can get british but not the american

BearSoFair · 09/11/2019 12:41

If the American was to detour into music, an 'LP' might be expected. (That's awful sorry but only way I can think of using initials!)

SpiderCharlotte · 09/11/2019 12:52

Oh please just say who it is or give easier clues!

I love this thread but it's getting much too much like hard work! Grin

GabsAlot · 09/11/2019 12:53

Nope not im lost abut the music bit

WishMyNameWasWittyNotShitty · 09/11/2019 13:01

So just been flicking through the book of face, like you do, and The Mirror has published 2 stories today that I have read about on here over the past few days.....

Natalie Wood's death and Whitney Houston's secret female lover.......

I think The Mirror owes OP some pennies for giving them ideas for this weekend gossip columns!

Thank you OP for the threads, I have throughly enjoyed losing a good couple of hours to them!

BinkySodPlop · 09/11/2019 13:07

If you look at The Hobbit cast list, it's fairly obvious.
