Zoe Ball????!!!!!

ugh

She's like one of those irritating girls in the office who never stops talking about her wedding. When the news was full of her being caught having an affair, the Saturday colour supplement printed an interview with her that was obviously conducted several weeks earlier while she was carrying on . . . and as usual there she is going on and on about her wedding xx years earlier.

How can anyone "get" that?

RamblingRosa · 16/12/2008 15:10

I love Claudia Winkleman. I think she's really funny.

I didn't even know that Zoe Ball had an affair. Shows how little I know. Who with?

Ronni Ancona

MrsMattie · 16/12/2008 15:38

There are loads.

Helen Mirren - class actress, down to earth
Catherine Tate - funny as fuck
Pat out of 'Enders actress (Seriously! Pat is my favourite character )
The woman who plays Connie in Holby - I want to look like her, she is gorge
Germaine Greer - don't always agree with her, but she's smart, funny and iconic, so gotta love her
Burchill - mad as a fish, a right cowbag, rarely agree with her - but I admire her ability to cut to the chase. She's a very clever, succinct writer.
Julie Roberts - I know she isn't the greatest actress, but she's been in a few of my fave films and I could watch her big, smiley face all day long

Claudia "no matter how I get my hair cut I look like an old English sheepdog" Winkleman???

Ronni "I am soooo not funny" Ancona??

no way, jose!

buttercreamfrosting · 16/12/2008 15:49

I heart Davina too. Her exercise DVDs gave me my pre baby body back..

sazzerbear · 16/12/2008 15:49

Nigella, proving you can be sexy with some excess pounds!
Madonna for her business acumen (obviously not her relationship acumen)!

MrsMattie · 16/12/2008 16:09

Oh, yes, Sarah Beeny@lulabellarama (DH is in lurve with her, also)

On a property tip, I also like Kirsty Allsop, which is strange for me. Not usually a fan of Sloany types, but she seems lovely.

I also have a soft spot for Nigella.

Others:

Sophie Ellis Bextor. I don't know why, she just seems quite down to earth and she has that cute, quirky face.

Martina Navratilova - I have always hearted her (I seem to have a bit of a gay girl crush thing going on...DH will love this!)

mrsmaidamess · 16/12/2008 16:12

Davina winds me up...all that gurning

Zoe Ball winds me up too.

I do like however....Alexa Chung.Oprah. Dames Judi and Helen.
Love Jenny Eclair

Sara Cox and Edith Bowman? Gimme a break. Not a brain cell between them.

Charlotte Church
Janet Street Porter

slug · 16/12/2008 16:26

Davina was horrible when I met her. Probably my fault for not recognising that she is a sleb and therefore special. Or more probably because I was a woman. She paid no attention to anyone without a y chromosome.

AuraofDora · 16/12/2008 16:37

lauren laverne - can present!
janet street porter - gobby and proud of it
germaine greer - glad she is around

i dont think/ never have thunk that jenny elcair is funny in the least even a teensy tiny bit, wish she would give up that hairdo the colour is so 80's innit love, it would be brittle to touch ..eyeuk

i miss that woman comedian from R4 linda smith she was funny, consistently..

bollistolliholly · 16/12/2008 17:09

Oh and Sheila Hancock she is marvellous

clarabellabella · 16/12/2008 17:36

I agree with Bollistolliholly: Caitlin Moran is my hero, and I also love Sheila Hancock. Remember watching her on Have I Got News For You once. She was hilarious.

Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman.
