Theantsgomarching, of course you are entitled to your opinion, I just think that is a very harsh statement without much basis.
The girl on the news today who stamped on a man's head and killed him because he was gay, is an utter disgrace. The Iraqi asylum seeker who mowed down a 12 year old girl and left her to die is an utter disgrace.
A 23 year old girl who doesn't kick her husband out because he cheated can hardly be described as an utter disgrace.
In my opinion of course.

Theantsgomarching · 17/12/2010 16:23

NW20 Lets agree to disagree

NW20 · 17/12/2010 16:25

Why do you think she is an utter disgrace though?

mayorquimby · 17/12/2010 16:25

"She does seem alright and has made good money in her own right"

Surely any money she's made has been made by piggy-backing her husbands fame?

theevildead2 · 17/12/2010 16:28

We can only play the hand we're dealt Mayor, some people have family with money and get to go to posh schools. They still have to work to make something of themselves. She didn't have that back ground and she could have very easily sat on her ass and spent Wayne's money like a good girl.

Theantsgomarching · 17/12/2010 16:28

Because her husband has no respect for her at all or women in general, she allows herself to be publicly humiliated time and time again and will then sell a "happier than ever" story to the glossies.. Where is her self respect? I think its all very sad.

traceybath · 17/12/2010 16:29

She can't win though can she? If she didn't work she'd be criticised and because she does she's criticised - most odd!

I think she seems nice enough. Prefer VB though

TheCrackFox · 17/12/2010 16:30

She seems likable enough but I do wish she had left her arsehole husband. She has made a lot of money in her own right and I think she could do so much better than him.

She seems like a good egg. I was cheering her on in the X Factor final (pissed, admittedly) saying 'go on Colleen, get a career in TV and then ^leave^ your ugly goodfornothing will-be-fat-at-35 husband and get yourself a decent bloke. Personally don't think she is with Wayne for the money, just think she is a good catholic girl. And frankly her family seem like decent people - adopted a child with severe special needs. She just seems like a nice, normal girl, despite the wag title.

Errr looking at all she has compared to her earnings(which she got off the back of shrek) im guessing shes using his cash

Cicatrice · 17/12/2010 16:33

I feel sorry for her. Wayne seems to be an arse. It can't be nice to realise that you are married to an arse and that the evidence is all over the papers.

(And being commented on by random women on a website)

Having said that I don't need her to give me fashion advice. Thanks all the same.

theevildead2 · 17/12/2010 16:36

Errr actually the poor girl seems to be doing somethign every day. Littlewoods, ASDA. She writes for OK!, Closer, has advertised for LG, did Colleens Real Women, and a work out DVD.

How are any of the many blonde presenter types any better than her? They don't have their jobs by being clever they have jobs for being pretty. I think good for her for doing her best.

Totally agree with that evildead.

I nevr saw the fashioon programme she did, so can't comment on that.

But I can't see that Colleen is any worse than many other vapid TV presenters - look at Alexa Chung, Myleene Klass and Holly Willoyughby, they are not exactly broadcasting heavyweights.

NW20 · 17/12/2010 16:53

Ugh I have an irrational dislike of Myleene Klass.

UnquietDad · 17/12/2010 17:10

These slebs don't "write" their own columns. I seriously doubt Colleen Roooooooooney knows one end of a pencil from the other or can spell anything longer than "Prada".

NW20 · 17/12/2010 17:14

Why do you doubt that?
Have you ever read her column? It is hardly cutting edge journalism, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that she does write it herself.

noddyholder · 17/12/2010 17:16

She seems a nice girl but to stay with him after his repeated infidelity shows a huge lack of self respect.

BitOfFalalalalaa · 17/12/2010 17:19

She is an absolutely lovely person in real life, from a very nice hard-working family. I think they must quietly despair of SpudMan - in fact I know they do. They are a rough bunch, The Rooneys.

diddl · 17/12/2010 17:20

Maybe she doesn´t count it as infidelity as it was with prostitutes?

balogun · 17/12/2010 17:28

In Coleens autobiography, welcome to world, she talks about how she felt and why she took Wayne back the first time he cheated on her.

For Coleen though, it was a crushing blow. She says in her autobiography: ?When the story came out about Wayne and the prostitutes my life was suddenly turned upside down.

?Wayne and me were 18, we?d been together for nearly two years and were engaged to be married. Suddenly the papers were saying that when he was 16 Wayne had been seeing prostitutes in a Liverpool massage parlour. I was just so upset, my head was all over the place.

?The truth is, and I?ve never said this before, at that time in our relationship I?d never even slept with Wayne. I was only 16 and we weren?t having that kind of relationship at that stage. We used to meet at the chippy or the cinema. All this was going through my head and the more I read the more I became upset and annoyed.?

?I didn?t know if I wanted to be with Wayne or not,? she wrote. ?I told him I didn?t know whether we should keep the relationship going. All Wayne kept repeating was how sorry he was.

?Everything wasn?t all right straight away. But I knew that if there was a chance of us working things out then trust would have to be rebuilt over time.

?After a few days, we went to Manchester shopping. On another day we went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, both of us with our hats on and collars turned up. Only a few people recognised us.

?Over that time, things became clearer in my head and I realised that we would try to make things work between us. Gradually we started rebuilding our relationship. As I said, it?s not a matter of one day waking up and saying ?I?m going to stay with you.?

Wayne and I

balogun · 17/12/2010 18:26

I think Coleen is a nice person but she?s talentless and is only where she is today because of Wayne and his agent, Paul Stretford, who she?s signed to by the way. But I don?t think she?s wrong for accepting all those jobs that she?s been offered so easily. I think if most people where in her situation they would have done the same thing.

I hate it when people keep saying she works really hard when all she does is put her name and picture on products that are made by someone else e.g. perfume, jewellery, makeup, books etc. She just has to turn up to the autograph signings really and then get paid. There isn?t any real talent, qualifications or hard work required to do all of that.

I know Coleen cares for her sister who has rett syndrome and she gives money to charity but she isn?t the only one. A lot of non millionaires and other celebrities give money to charities aswell and don?t get any recognition nor do they want any recognition it isn?t going to make me become a fan of her though.
