To not be at all surprised to hear about the latest celeb affair?

DH was quite surprised to hear about Jeremy Clarkson, but I wasnt. Not at all, infact I am surprised to hear if a famous man hasnt had an affair at some point.

They are famous, rich and away from home alot so are bound to be targetted by a certain type of woman. Also, alot of them are cossetted and looked after to the point where they believe that they can get away with things that us mere mortals cant, despite the fact that the paps are following them all the time.

Am I cynical as DH suggests or is he niave?!

Who likes green bananas then?

VivaLeBeaver · 05/04/2011 22:45

Allegedly JK.

I can't wait to watch a bit of daytime TV tomrrow, one of those shows where there is always a DNA test with a couple of spotty yoofs in Burberry caps and the presenter has the paternity test results. Wink

I don't believe AP and GB for one minute

PercyPigPie · 05/04/2011 22:51

I'd be surprised if he hadn't had one (though personally I think he looks like a giant ham).

zonkin · 05/04/2011 22:52

I'm loving this thread! TheSecondComing, please give more gossip.....

scottishmummy · 05/04/2011 23:02

bono is preachy gobshite with air miles that circumnavigate globe,telling others to fly less.oh gie it a rest you have an ego size of a planet

kittya · 06/04/2011 09:08

I'd rather shag Bono than Jez

wakeupandsmellthecoffee · 06/04/2011 10:16

You don't hear any gossip about Jamie Oliver playing away from home . See nice celebs like him look genuine . JC is a bit grubby around the edges .

NormanTebbit · 06/04/2011 10:39

I'd rather shag Bono than Jez or Jamie.

seeker · 06/04/2011 10:40

The thought of Norman Tebbit shagging Bono - or Jamie Oliver, come to that - is one I wish I did not have in my brain.

AbsDuCroissant · 06/04/2011 11:31

I think we should get Ian Hislop on for a webchat, and then we can quiz him. Imagine getting him drunk at a party? What stories he could tell ...

and yes, papers can't prevent stuff from being said in parliament; nobody can. Someone (trafigura, oil company) tried, tried to stop papers reporting on stuff said about them in Parliament and from it being recorded in Hansard, but FAILED. Big time.

YouaretooniceNOT · 06/04/2011 12:03

I was upset to read about it...then i read that Clarky had denied the 'affair'.

capricorn76 · 06/04/2011 12:07

@Kittya. It's true although it sounds like BS and I clearly cannot prove it! Take That got a lot of media coverage in their very early days because Andi was seeing Gary and Andi was pretty high up in the BBC. He secured them interviews etc. Lots of men have gay flings when they're younger and then go on to get married and have kids.

glendathegoodwitch · 06/04/2011 12:38

Blush JC is my secret crush Blush I would!!!! off to hide in corner now before you all pelt me with stones lol!!

AlmightyCitrus · 06/04/2011 13:51

There used to be some rumours going round that Jamie Oliver was "batting for the other team". I remember reading it on a "sleb gossip" thread on another website.

NormanTebbit · 06/04/2011 14:27

Nah that was Gordon Ramsey, althoughi think he probably just isn't too fussy.allegedly.

I remember the Clarkson/ popbitch debacle and I think it centred around the frankly ridiculous suggestion that he was er interested in very green bananas, used for desired satirical effect on website, until some numpty phoned Beeb press office to see if it was true. Cue lawyers letters and some brief obviously earning themselves a nice skiing holiday.

kittya · 06/04/2011 17:38

well, the banana thing is well out of order. Its a terrible thing to say about someone.

I wouldnt trust Gordon as far as I could throw him. For Jamie it would be the biggest shock of my life. He is about the only one that would surprise me tbh.

scottishmummy · 06/04/2011 17:59

bono,chris martin are preachy self serving gobshites.bang on about green,and airmiles but have careers that cause them to circumnavigate world few times in airmiles.nothing more irksome than prosperous preaching how others should live or what they should forgo

Acanthus · 06/04/2011 18:01

That can't possibly be true. Why wouldn't the minded of the twat's hat just wear the hat?

AlmightyCitrus · 06/04/2011 18:12

NormanTebbit I remember the gossip about GR being gay, and the stuff about the Brazilian transvestite! But there were JO gay rumours too!
