i thought dear fatty was dedicated to jennifer saunders?

She is a Devon/plymouth girl and she spends alot of time down here anyway. Seems sad tho.

What was the story about Jeremy Irons and some woman in his hotel room, that fell over and was going to sue someone?!

Praps Gwynnie and Chris should make the announcement now and bury it under all the other divorces?

The last couple of sentences on the Daily Mail story are reprehensible.

I've done the maths and their daughter is now 18/19 - maybe this has been on the cards for a while but they've been waiting till she leaves home/goes to university? The radio report of this I heard said that the decision had originally been made in October.

rubyslippers · 06/04/2010 22:33

dear fatty is about her relationship with Jennifer Saunders but there is an entire chapter devoted to the wondrous Lenny and plenty of positive stuff about him throughout

some of it really quite personal

"Mr Henry's stint on Tiswas allowed him to go on to forge a successful career on TV and the comedy circuit.

He has recently been completing an MA in screenwriting and working on a film script of his own. He has also signed up for a new Sky Arts show where he will learn to sing soul music."

reprehensible? why?

Northernlurker · 07/04/2010 19:15

It's been cut now. It did say something about their daughter and how they had said they would support her if she wanted to find her birth mother when she's 18 but they didn't want anybody (ie the press) making that choice for her. Then underneath it had a 'got a showbusiness story ring us on ' - talk about ironic!

SuSylvester · 07/04/2010 19:16

you cant trust a woman wiht a wonky fringe

Slartybartfast · 07/04/2010 19:25

i assumed they split due to their adopted daughter reaching 18, then there was an article on jeremy vine about staying together for the sake of the children. i thought it related.

He is so irritating, isn't he?
Don't know about her, but he has been acting out some kind of midlife crisis for years now.

Alouiseg · 07/04/2010 21:22

I find him extremely irritating and rather predictable. She has really evolved as an actress whereas he appears to have stood still.

StealthPolarBear · 08/04/2010 20:23

I found this quite sad too. Why do people not like him?

mrsruffallo · 09/04/2010 15:25

The consensus seems to be that he is irritating, SPB
