She looks amazing for 51. She has two big houses, a boy at a mega posh school and is hanging out with billionaires. Oh, and she has a successful business and her career has had a renaissance with The Royals.

All this from a girl who went to a bog standard comp, had a few strategic shags and is an expert in the art of self promotion. And who can't act.

I want to be like her. Is that so very bad?

I've just finkshed the ironing. Just saying. My feet ate killing me.

The fact that they settled out of court does not mean that the allegations were true.

Of course they could have, but equally they could have decided that a pay off was preferable to intimate details of their lives being splashed across the tabloids.

Was Bing the git who said that they weren't in an exclusive relationship to try to wriggle out of patrimony?

She is beautiful, a terrible actress except in the Royals and Austin Powers.

Doesn't That Dress look fairly tame by today's standards Confused

My hisband has a friend in Hong Kong who makes his maid sleep in a cupboard.

Your husband must be very proud to count him as a friend.

I got up at 7am, made a cup of tea breakfast did school run went to Tesco Boots filled the car up did 5 loads of washing cleaned the oven changed the beds did the school run cooked tea took in washing put son to bed and am now ironing all this washing. I didn't get paid anything.

That's a bullshit comparison. Doing housework in your own home for your own family is really not a comparable situation to slave labour. If you really believe that to be a valid comparison then you need to have a serious discussion with the rest of your family.

Or is this an example of the sunk cost fallacy, where you've spent so long extolling the virtues of someone who may have an ugly side to their personality that you absolutely cannot acknowledge any negative side to them for fear of losing face?

No.

sunk cost fallacy?

We are on a chat board talking about famous people. Some perspective, please.

SpaceUnicorn · 22/06/2016 11:38

No.

Ah well, I guess that you genuinely do believe that employing a servant to work 70 hours a week for £1.20 an hour is comparable to doing your own housework in your own house, then.

My friend worked (in a very roundabout way) with her. She's fur coat and no knickers, and becomes more so the richer the men around her. The insinuation has been made that she's basically a courtesan.

IlovesLiz · 22/06/2016 17:06

Is it fake fur or real fur, do you think? She does wear knickers, I'll have you know. Leopard print ones. At weddings.

I think I read once that she likes to cook dinner parties, but the only thing she eats at the them is a teaspoonful of every dish.

I can't decide whether I admire her or think she's a sociopath.

Her looks are certainly 100% plastic these days.

seasidesally · 22/06/2016 17:48

well she wasnt born with that plummy accent thats for sure

EmeraldGreenSea · 22/06/2016 18:12

She lives in the same town as me and I've always found her quite pleasant and doesn't seem to try and attract attention to herself and is always very polite. Just my two cents.

IlovesLiz · 22/06/2016 19:56

Oooh, is that London or the other place beginning with L (that you can google and find out the location, don't want to say it directly...)?

Does she really wander along with no make up and hair in a pony tail like she says she does? How tiny is she in actual real life?

Have just seen on Twitter moments she is Brexit. When I saw it couldn't believe the coincidence of her randomly popping up after this thread

twittwooery · 22/06/2016 20:03

That's a surprise - I thought she'd be all for the afeared influx of cheap immigrant labour Wink

IlovesLiz · 22/06/2016 20:06

God, how much exercise does she do to get those legs??
