To think that Cheryl F-V's 'romance' with Liam Payne is a publicity stunt

I mean who really gives a crap who she's shagging but oh no, she has to offer hints via social media and then the big unveiling of this latest celebrity 'couple', photos of them hand-in-hand on a dinner date [vom]

And just in case any of the plebs don't quite get that this is 'true love', she wears a big fuck off gold necklace spelling it out Hmm

Is Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, or whatever the fuck her surname is this week, a big tedious, attention seeking bore or AIBU?

C ronaldo couldn't be more obvious, a baby with no mum suddenly appears and he is always on holiday with his best mate (a best mate who is either more than a friend or is one of those people that doesn't know about personal space)

BillSykesDog · 13/03/2016 00:04

I haven't heard anything like that about JB. She seems to have been a complete bitch towards him though.

Inkanta · 13/03/2016 05:17

I hope it's real and she's having a good time. Glad she got away from that weirdo husband. Really weird.

SeaMagic · 13/03/2016 07:20

Oh come on Lovely you must be living under a rock to have not heard about the blossoming lurve of C F-V and LP!

I can promise you I didn't specifically seek it out, it is all over the rolling feed on my MSN homepage and the newspapers I pick up for my daily commute.

Helena what a lot of self righteous, faux feminist drivel that Instagram/Red magazine article is.

Have to hand it to her and her publicist though, C F-V sure knows how to play social media such as Twitter and Instagram doesn't she... She is exceptionally well known for someone so profoundly untalented but I guess she is known by her ability to be media fodder... and she has achieved SC's her aim if there are people talking about her. I guess I am part of this by starting this thread on another social media platform [as PP have pointed out] but for me my post is less about the pop puppet that is C F-V and more about how these people are playing the game of modern celebrity.

CVS is a really nasty person. Came across her at a do one or the back and she was smoking non stop and complaining about having to hang around at the event she was paid week to attend for an hour. When she saw us she immediately wanted the area around her cordoned off and was angry that we wanted the same. Vile creature. Yes it's a p stunt.

jellyjiggles · 13/03/2016 07:51

This is a very long thread discussing people I have no idea who they are.

If people didn't play into these celebrity games we wouldn't have a load of people allegedly famous for nothing.

Just think where all their wages would go!

Arpege · 13/03/2016 07:54

Cheryl is nobody and nothing outside uk shores (I'm ignoring that disastrous American thing).

She could move in next door to anyone outside the uk and they wouldn't have a clue who she was.

Arpege · 13/03/2016 07:58

Also I can't believe that Jonas baby has been sponsored by Dreft!!

What. The. Fuck?!

Who gets their baby bloody sponsored? Madness.

Grilledaubergines · 13/03/2016 08:11

Those criticising her for her multiple surnames, broken marriages; yes it's bloody awful thAt her first husband was unfaithful and her second husband was s controlling arse.

That's all her fault isn't it. Because she's beautiful and successful. No-one would dream of saying that about anyone who has had the misfortune to have been in those relationships, but it's amazing how the green eyed monster comes out And the feminist runs to hide.

Calling her common? Nice post. And yet the poster said 'could of' rather than 'could have'.

Most of you sound like spiteful and jealous teenage girls, spreading gossip and getting kicks from being bitchy.

VinceNoirLovesHowardMoon · 13/03/2016 08:15

I criticised her for her surnames because I think changing your surname is foolish, and if you have done it once and got divorced it's double foolish to do it again, especially for a man you have known for mere months before getting married. It demonstrates bad judgement and a certain sense of desperation and man pleasing.

Lottie2611 · 13/03/2016 08:17

Do not diss Liam. He's not gormless he's beautiful Hmm

Arpege · 13/03/2016 08:19

The surname changing is the least of it.

It's the desperate need to be linked to a man which is anti feminist, not the discussion about it on social media.

Sparklingbrook · 13/03/2016 08:21

You can be gormless and beautiful. Grin None of 1 D are beautiful and they all come across as gormless.

Lottie2611 · 13/03/2016 08:22

I think all .... Ok most of them are beautiful looking men. Sad how grown women feel they can't admit it

Arpege - presumably someone who needs the cash!!

Grilled - I do agree with some of your points although I don't have a problem with gossip generally. I read the blinds, so if I want to chat as part of a gossip thread - which in fairness is clearly identified as such through the title, then you don't have to click on it! However there is a fine line between calling out hypocrisy (a family which condemns gay people whilst hiding the sexuality of one of its members, for example), and name calling about things like someone's origins and background.

Am not particularly fussed about C F-V. I think the surname thing is up for debate as the on dit is that the second marriage was a sham, so it's relevant. Likewise the rumours are that actually JB was a fairly nice bloke whose only mistake was to get sucked into all of this. The 'controlling' rumours are rumoured themselves to have been spun as part of the publicity. However her childhood and background is her business - it's nasty and unnecessary to call her 'common'. Also picking apart someone's physical characteristics is pretty cruel, but the flip side to that is cosmetic surgery. Am I going to criticise someone for having cankles? Nope, I have them myself and there ain't a damn thing you can do about them, it's the body you were born with. Am I going to criticise Kylie Jenner for having had a stupid amount of plastic surgery at 18? Damn straight I am - because she is the one who is flogging makeup, lingerie, 'lifestyle' apps and all manner of shite on the back of that surgery, as well as knowing that there are hordes of insecure teens who will be running off for Juvederm injections to copy her.

fastdaytears · 13/03/2016 08:44

Oh I like her, but I only found out about the Liam thing on here. Obviously been in a coma for the last week or something.

Also learning about Chim for the first time. This chap here has some very compelling evidence noclueontheloo.livejournal.com/2839.html

LovelyFriend · 13/03/2016 08:45

No I don't live under a rock. I live in London, but I don't commute or read shit newspapers or the DM - I've only heard about this relationship on MN!

LovelyFriend · 13/03/2016 08:46

I almost can't wait for CSV to get married AND CHANGE HER NAME AGAIN! Grin

AtSea1979 · 13/03/2016 08:51

He's from 1D? Isn't he about 20 years younger than her then?

Sparklingbrook · 13/03/2016 08:52

10 I think.

WhatamessIgotinto · 13/03/2016 08:53

Well you can hardly avoid it FourEyesGood hmm

Well I had no idea until I saw your this thread OP. What magazines do your read. I watch the news and look at it online and haven't seen a thing about it so I can only assume its something you'd see in Heat magazine. Haven't seen it mentioned on here before now either.

Roussette · 13/03/2016 09:01

Of course it's all a publicity stunt, there's another series of Xfactor in the offing no doubt.

apparently CFV wants to change her surname. She doesn't have much of a choice does she? Tweedy will forever be linked to her prosecution for lamping a toilet attendant, and Cole - would she ever go back to that? I think she needs a sham marriage in order to lose the FV!

OliviaStabler · 13/03/2016 09:03

And ffs if you can't admit to being gay in the 21st century. Fuck all respect for that.

While there are people who would not care less if a pop star, film star etc is gay, there are people and areas of the world where it would be an issue and would affect record sales, tours, box office figures etc. That means less income. So some choose to hide behind relationships created to allow both parties to be who they are in private and present and 'acceptable' image to the people who would not be fans if they knew they were gay.
