Watching one of mg favourite films again, (Easy A) and it’s got Amanda Bynes in it.

I still feel so sorry for her. She was so talented and I loved her movies and it’s sad to see how she is now. I genuinely hope she gets all the help she needs

I feel a deep, painful sadness for Tom Hardy.

It's an awful shame that the poor man has to struggle through life without miraculously finding his way to my bedroom every evening.

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

Sinead O'Connor. The heart of a lion ultimately broken by the loss of her 17 year old son who died by suicide.

Amber Heard... I can't defend her or Jonny Depp.

Both very toxic towards each other.

She shat on his bed. He's still missing a finger tip.

Boak. Neither of them came out of that well.

It's not proven that it wasn't their dog that shat in the bed.

Your overall assessment is valid.

Didn't they have Yorkshire Terriers? If so, it's unlikely their faeces could be mistaken for human's.

I've just been reading about that... I thought it was just a stalker...

Lots of flying forth and back. Very strange.

It's one of those awful things that you don't want to doubt, but then you think that people have actually lived through that shit and you wouldn't want to think someone was capable of making up a story like that.

I know what I mean.

I feel the same. I want to believe her but there’s just one too many holes. And millions of women do experience sex trafficking so I feel a certain type of way towards women who make up stories for whatever reason.

Depends on how smeared about it was. TMI alert: I sometimes produce quite small "material" and I'm definitely not a dog.

I don't believe it was smeared. Terriers don't do human sized deposits.

To be fair, until Peter Andre went on I'm a Celeb then married Katie Price he probably could have been a vicar and nobody would have noticed or cared.

Imagine Peter Andre as a vicar..!

I thought when she first brought it up how many years ago.. that she said the person was well known and she was afraid to name him.

i haven’t read much of what she’s said recently but some bits I remember from when she first talked about it do align, the airplane no one stopping her even though she was drugged up, the time frames.

its very sad, some part hopes it’s not true as I don’t want any woman to go through that, but another part hopes it’s true and not a lie as it will damage real victims who will be called liars just like Duffy. We’ve already seen it with Amber Heard and men claiming their accusers are lying like Amber Heard.

ReginaPhalange92 · 30/03/2025 00:55

After watching Fallen Idols, I'd have to say Aaron Carter. Tragic.

This is gonna sound daft but I genuinely feel sorry for Melania Trump.
I can't imagine she ever wanted to be the First Lady.

Nope. I can’t feel anything but disgust for her. She chose to marry Donald Trump.

It's all very sad regardless.

I would hope that now, times have moved on... That there shouldn't be the fear related to naming thus going for a prosecution.

It's all too much for these early hours and I don't feel comfortable speculating about it, even though my interest was piqued and I've commented. I am now going to shut my big gob regarding this one as I'll get myself out of my depth!

Ponoka7 · 30/03/2025 02:08

A lot, who have already been mentioned. I'd add Dolores O'Riordan. Child sexual abuse is often a death sentence and it's about time the courts sentenced appropriately. Jeff Conaway, injuring his back during the Grease lightening number, started his path to pain killer addiction. Jack Wild and Oliver Reed were gone too soon.

TheBuffetInspector · 30/03/2025 02:36

I've just had to Google Aaron Carter. That sort of genre including Back Street Boys passed me by, but it all looks horrific.

I do agree with those that said Justin Bieber, he passed me by too until - Love Yourself (?) but it's clear he's traumatised by this Diddy case.

I don't know what goes through some parents minds (Britney) when they will hand their child over to anyone in their pursuit for fame.

MARG07 · 30/03/2025 02:43

Britney. She is so damaged and seeking validation for her looks and body constantly. She's 43 but mentally 16 and her looks will eventually fade and dancing around half naked just won't work eventually. I worry about how she'll handle it all.

Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn from Buffy) - started age 3 as a child actress and died a couple of weeks ago aged 39 after addiction issues and a failed liver transplant, - Sarah Michelle Gellar (buffy) tribute '“Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. I will be brave. I will live… for you”

Oh, your quotation from that famous episode made me cry a little.

Caroline Flack if only she had hung on as Covid hit a couple of weeks later and no one would have cared about what she’d done and the press would have been otherwise engaged

PopeJoan2 · 30/03/2025 03:26

overthinkersanonnymus · 29/03/2025 20:57

well that’s embarrassing 😂😂😂😂

If she died on Mother’s Day that will probably mark the anniversary for her loved ones.

LittleEsme · 29/03/2025 22:04

All of them.
They’re all living a false sense of reality - I pity that. Such a baseless existence .

Yes…although behind the scenes the sensible ones have lives quite similar to mine or yours.

I remember reading this as its rare for her to comment about him. I don't blame her for not wanting to read or be told about him but she sounds like a great mum.

Billie was also put in a really horrible situation when she first got famous as a young teen. She was put up in a flat on her own. She basically got dropped off from work, sat in on her own, and waited to be picked up again in the morning. Neither parent moved from Swindon to London to be with her. It seems so sad and lonely, plus we know what the music industry's does to young artists. She was 15.
No wonder she was so vulnerable to Chris Evans wooing her. I know they are great friends now and support one another. But then she was a 16 year old girl being quite publicly pursued by a famous older man.

And yes, then she married that slime toad Fox.

MarzipanAndFrenchFancies · 30/03/2025 04:21

All child and teen actors, including the cast of Buffy.

Lindsay Lohan in particular she is really talented and is now reduced to doing Christmas Netflix romcoms.
