It encourages the worst sort of nasty, libellous speculation, creepy fan obsessing and vicious gossip mongering.

It is inhabited by the type of posters who would feel very comfortable on the Sidebar of Shame.

It is not in the spirit of the mumsnet site - celebrities are parents too and it is in no way a happy and supportive place.

AIBU to think that it is surplus to the requirements of Mumsnet and shouldn't be there?

This thread sent me on a Google search for 'Larry' that I will never be able to unsee.

Why should we suffer alone Grin

I love Sleb Twaddle and babygaters and Peter Andre and Kerry Katona and Darius and his kilt.

It is a marvellous distraction from real life and makes me laugh and laugh.

Love that this thread has become Sleb Twaddle!

Primal - I know what you mean about being sad you can't see what the babygaters are saying now. I was mesmerised by it all.

I spotted the Larry threads but initially thought they were in Style and Beauty - the Stylinson thing. Didn't click until I realised they were filling up quick so I wondered if it was skincare stuff by an brand that people were having shipped from the States! Was a bit surprised to find out what they were about! And lost a day reading them all and reading some links. I couldn't stay away!

Some of it was interesting. Made me feel really sorry for those young boys. Massive success but at what cost.

Oh bore off.

WaitrosePigeon · 10/04/2016 14:21

Sorry didn't realise 10 pages.

that comment was to the OP and delicate people

SingToMeInFrench · 10/04/2016 15:02

I love it. I'm also clever and shit.

liberatedwine · 10/04/2016 15:14

So babygaters? Louis Tomlinson and his family have posted photos of a very real baby.

do I really want an answer?

Guitargirl · 10/04/2016 15:18

I love it. I'm also clever and shit.

No, no, no. You can't be. Because you have to fit into a box and those two things won't fit into one box, see?. So, make your mind up.

SingToMeInFrench · 10/04/2016 15:23

Shit. I'd better give my degree back...

I like Made in Chelsea. I have a PhD.

DP sees those two things as totally incompatible. Every time I watch it, he starts muttering about people with doctorates having really crappy taste in TV programmes. He came to tell me that Made in Chelsea is doing Come Dine with Me this afternoon. I told him I need to finish the book chapter am writing first Grin.

SingToMeInFrench · 10/04/2016 15:47

The only writing you should be doing is for the DMs comment section

SingToMeInFrench · 10/04/2016 15:49

That came out far more aggressive than I had imagined BlushWink

Unless I finish what I'm supposed to be doing then the DM comments section may be the only place am good for!

Big is it his??? of course, but I still miss the speculation

To be fair I thought his 'rant' to the paps looked staged.

Sparklingbrook · 10/04/2016 16:24

Hopefully it will all go away now and 1D will be but a distant memory.

hollieberrie · 10/04/2016 17:07

Still talking about us eh.. Wink

I very much doubt it.

Sparklingbrook · 10/04/2016 17:19

Well TBF since they split up they seem to be more prominent than ever. Confused Just split up properly already. Grin
