According to her son, Cilla Black died laughing at Jeremy Kyle and drinking champagne.
As someone that was supposed to have remembered " where she came from" there are so many anecdotes about what a diva she was. From the way she treated cabin crew, to the time she showed no empathy to the family of a motorcyclist her son had killed in a crash (she was more worried about if he would go to prison) this is just another example of how she saw herself as being above the rest.
Laughing at people who obviously have issues, be it in relationships or in life in general isn't pleasant. I just don't get the public fawning over her when she sounds like an unpleasant person. Perhaps it is just another case of celebrity worship.

Do you know, I am close friends with a famous person who is regularly slated on MN, but she, and her husband are the nicest, most 'normal' people you could ever wish to meet.
Read the tabloids and you believe so much shit about them, all of it is absolute crap, and yet, even the intelligent buy into the gossip. 'A waitress told me,' 'apparantly', 'they reckon'......
Honestly, take a look at your own lives and think how what you did/said /looked like on a a bad day. Now imagine it being splashed all over the tabloids and gossiped about on here.
I have no idea about Cilla. Instinctively, I did not like her, but probably because I am as gullible as the rest of the general population.
Why do we think that those whose job it is to entertain should be so much better than the rest of us in their private lives?
Some of the attitudes on MN piss me off - what celebrities wear, plastic surgery, they do something for charity and are instantly labelled publicity seekers.
grrrr, sorry, just pisses me off knowing how perfect you all are I suppose

Sansoora what was that about? Really not necessary. I was just trying to make the point that none of us know what 'celebrities' are really like. Our views are mainly formed from the press.
It was certainly not meant as any sort of boast. This is the first time I have mentioned it, so don't understand the nasty response 
Bugger me, really ??

Oh, I am so sorry Sansoora, I read it all wrong.
You might be my friend
Do you like cheesy wotsits, but are still a skinny cow?

My 'calm down, calm down' wasn't intentionally patronising.
It was tongue in cheek, Cilla was a scouser and the phrase is used colloquially to take the piss out of scousers (of which I am one)
In any instance, it seems you and I are conversing at cross purposes. In all probability as a consequence of my woefully plebeian upbringing and lack of social etiquette
(Willingness to take the piss out of myself)
Merry Christmas Queen X

I would never have made that assumption Alabama
Happy Christmas to you [santa]
