She looks terrible, her face has that bride of wilderstein/wind tunnel look

Aibu to want to shake her and ask her to think more 'Helen Mirren' and less Joan Rivers?!

Beautiful body but her face... Horrid.

Why do some women think this is a good look?!

I could not believe her addressing the audience as ladies and getting them to agree with her cringe making romance babble.(sounded like a dodgy loose women comment) She has lost the plot and I have always loved her.

BupcakesandCunting · 16/01/2012 12:25

I agree, Noddy. The "Am I right, ladies?" was wank.

MrsHankey · 16/01/2012 12:26

Agree, her face looked really fake.

Greythorne · 16/01/2012 12:30

Bupcakes

I thought she looked nice, in an ice queen/don't fuck with me kind of way. I've gone right off her though, despite being a fan since I was about 6. She was such a COW. A cow to Graham, a cow to the doll men, a cow to the man in her film, a cow in general

That.

When she walked on and Graham was being very fawning, just as she walked to the sofa, the look on gpher face was just classic. She didn't look flattered or embarrassed or overwhelmed or anything other than "yes, this is how it should be" by his excitement and his compliments.

BupcakesandCunting · 16/01/2012 12:35

I agree, Greythorne! When Graham rushed over to greet her and nearly tripped up in his haste (I did chuckle at that) I thought "Poor bloke must feel like a bit of a numpty now" She just stood there with her weird, unmoveable fisog, doing a weird grimace.

Also, I reckon she thinks that she has a dry SOH. She's probably tried to adopt one to fit in with us Brits Hmm but she hasn't managed it very well at all. She just comes across as snarky and condescending.

Bramshott · 16/01/2012 12:39

I agree about snidey comments and wierd body language to the lovely James D'Arcy from the film they were promoting Shock!

noddyholder · 16/01/2012 12:41

I think she is always acting. She has this obvious desperate desire to never let anyone get one over but she comes across as rude and not funny at all. I do like the gloves though Grin.

clam · 16/01/2012 13:18

I hate everything about her the way she pauses and smirks slightly before every twatty thing she says. Rehearsed, plastic, full of herself, massive ego...
Did I mention I don't like her?

AbsofCroissant · 16/01/2012 13:43

Remember the thing recently where someone left the mike on and she complained about the flowers that were given to her by a fan? Something about her hating hydrageas and everyone should know it. What an arse

I think the reason why she goes out in such hid outfits every now and then (comme ca) is because everyone around her is too afraid to go "Sweets, you look a MESS. Try something different, okay?"

She could just wear naice evening gloves, something like that. the biker gloves just make it glaringly obvious she's trying to hide something.

WinterIsComing · 16/01/2012 13:47

Naice evening gloves Grin

I agree. Much more elegant but then again, those mesh gloves are a bit like the lace glove thing she started a trend for so I would say she's allowed.

There you go, Madonna if you're reading, it's fine by me!

Lorelilee · 16/01/2012 13:57

She was a bit of a bitch - especially to the doll guys but I could never bring myself to hate her. She is an amazing woman who has achieved SO much and all on her own terms. She is one of the very few true MEGA stars.

anonacfr · 16/01/2012 14:03

Face it she's a complete cow, and what's with her ridiculous thigh-slapping, falling back in the sofa laugh? It was ridiculous.

clam · 16/01/2012 15:06

Lorelilee in what way is she amazing and what has she achieved particularly? And I interpret "all on her own terms" as meaning "she's a complete bitch."

bigbuttons · 16/01/2012 15:11

She's simply foul. No wonder she can't keep a bloke. I pity her kids I really do.

Bogeyface · 16/01/2012 15:31

Yep, "all on my own terms" generally means "Fuck You"

anonacfr · 16/01/2012 15:59

I remember seeing a clip of her pre interview throwing a tantrum and having a hissy fit at a poor innocent PA because the girl spoke to her. Apparently that wasn't allowed. Hmm

Clam add me to the list of people who can't see the amazingness. Her music is average and her achievements all centre around her using sex to get noticed. Not exactly ground breaking IMO.

Madonna in her interviews comes across as cold, self important, humourless and quite frankly rather dull.
And her telling Graham she answered the front door in her PJs? Come on as if she opens front doors. Ever. We all know assistant n.3 is in charge of door opening, after assistant n.4 has arranged visit by phone.

Greythorne · 16/01/2012 16:38

I also do think she is something of a hypocrite.
It's all very well her creating an entire career based on average singing abilities, average songwriting, shrewd partnerships with producers and lots and lits of cavorting around in her knickers.

But now she has kids and she is all "they go to the lycée français and speak three languages and never watch telly and I tell my teenage daughter if she is wearing something too raunchy".

Greythorne · 16/01/2012 16:39

And she mkre or less admitted herself that the only people in the entire world who tell her like it is are her children.
Everyone is in her employ or seeking favour and nobody ever dares speak their mind.

MayaAngelCool · 16/01/2012 16:57

Er, excuse me but it is a well-known fact that her music is most definitely not average.

It is utter shoite. Grin

Bogeyface, you are fast becoming my favourite MNer! Grin

CrabbyBigbottom · 16/01/2012 17:38

I'll just have to go and watch this now then.
