Which celebs have made arses of themselves in their quest to entertain /crave attention

I know that their living depends on staying relevant but these are challenging times for such self indulgence when people have more pressing issues. But some celebs who are normally not massively annoying, are making reputation destroying SM entries.
So far, The usually wonderful Ellen has peed off a lot of people, Michael Buble, Ollie Muirs(???), Madonna and loads more.
Any others making your cringe gland rupture?

I know I am part of the problem and this is not important but I am bored.

I love Adele though! She never bothers any one, and just drops beautiful albums once in a blue moon.

MilkshakeandFries · 07/05/2020 06:52

Leanne Brown is an absolute moron for her conspiracy theory rant.

Any of them who have suddenly gone into shock about doing their own housework - Phillip Schofield and his sheet ironing, Sara Cox and her kitchen unit door wiping and Amanda Holden and her taking the bins out and ironing - like we're meant to believe she does it herself.

Also Amanda Holden and the "amazing thing she's selflessly done" by recording a single...pleasant but hardly putting herself on the front line.

And agree with PPs - Sam Smith get the fuck over yourself. Ricky Gervais' rant about these celebs struggling is spot on.

Have developed a soft spot for Peter Andre who posts videos of his cleaning up his kids mess, making dinner and being taken the piss out of by his kids while his wife is working at the hospital. He just seems quite down to earth and real, while managing to not have to put #ad after everything!

The amount of people I've unfollowed during this is unreal - celeb and local non-celeb who think they are and think they have the right to tell me how to cope Grin

MilkshakeandFries · 07/05/2020 07:02

And yes to whoever said Daisy May Cooper - she is just amazing! Her rendition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Twats is my current lockdown highpoint!

Megatron · 07/05/2020 07:08

What did Amanda’s Holden do to her child?

She told her 8 year old 'don't be stupid' when she said she thought Simon Cowell and his girlfriend had broken up. Then you can hear the little girl say 'ow' on the recording as AH blusters on.

Sparklingbrook · 07/05/2020 07:11

I have been loving the Kemps. Martin, his wife Shirlie and daughter Harley. They all seem lovely.
@Originalsaltedpeanuts are we getting told off? Shock

Mrsjayy · 07/05/2020 07:15

Are people suggesting Amanda Holden hit her daughter ?

FabulouslyElegantTits · 07/05/2020 07:15

I'm glad it's not just me, I unfollow all these folk as they get on my tits ... then look them up again just to remind myself how much they annoy me! I think it says as much about me as them 🤣

Christine McGuiness used to be great, but now she just ponces about trying to be all 'fun and sexy'. Like a PP said her Instagram could be confused with Babestation!

I think she's changed management to that gimlet eyed parasite that used to manage Katie Price and Peter Andre - there's definitely been a shift in her 'profile'.

caperberries · 07/05/2020 07:15

Yes Daisy May Cooper & her little girl are absolute gold

SunshineCake · 07/05/2020 07:20

Amanda Holden told her child not to be stupid then elbowed her with her child crying out in pain. It's on the video apparently.

SunshineCake · 07/05/2020 07:22

Also, AH sacked her PA after the child in a grown ups dress incident as she blamed her for it.

Sparklingbrook · 07/05/2020 07:26

Having looked at Christine McGuinness’s Instagram, she is sponsored by Ann Summers so no surprise she is prancing about in her undies. She looks great TBF.

Mrsjayy · 07/05/2020 07:28

Crying out in pain or an over dramatic 8 year old,? I know Amanda is a pain in the arse but I can't see her harming her dd like some are suggesting.

Megatron · 07/05/2020 07:29

I didn't see the video of AH, I only heard it so I can't comment on why her little girl said 'ow'. Only that she did.

Megatron · 07/05/2020 07:35

@Mrsjayy you'd be better to listen/watch the video yourself then you can decide what you think yourself.

Dumbie · 07/05/2020 07:44

I really like Jameela Jamil
Of the insta people I follow, she's the only one I hope that kids follow too.

Megatron · 07/05/2020 07:51

I used to absolutely love her @Dumbie and followed her for a long time but although I still agree with many of the issues she posts about, I find that instead of debating with someone she often twists their words and shuts them down without any discussion. She 'cancels' people constantly - one of the very things she says is unacceptable (which it is of course). This is on Twitter so a different platform from Insta obvs but I've unfollowed her everywhere now.

Iamthewombat · 07/05/2020 08:23

Now, now you lot - are we forgetting #bekind?

Celebrities must love #bekind.

It translates to “I can be a massive attention seeking arse but you must never say anything bad about me EVER and never criticise me or I’ll cry and make a video about tortured I am like Jesy from Little Mix”

FelicityFlockheart · 07/05/2020 08:25

@mrsnettle maybe read a bit more deeply .. Michael Palin didn't say that at all. If you're going to slag someone off on the internet, the least you can do is have your facts straight

Notredamn · 07/05/2020 08:26

Anyone else think it's a bit random and odd that Christine McGuinness is almost a permanent fixture in the Daily Mail's sidebar of misogyny? There's never any story other than she's walking down the street or off to the shops and she's not known for anything. Don't the DM hammer in the non stories when they've got some shit on someone they can't publish? Or is her husband paying them to raise her profile?

SouthWestmom · 07/05/2020 08:29

That recording is gold! The panic in Amanda's voice and the bluster. Made me laugh. The kid says ow then laughs so I don't think any harm was done (maybe to Amanda and Simons friendship Grin)

VideographybyLouBloom · 07/05/2020 08:42

My lockdown celeb loves are:
Noel Fielding for his Saturday Art Club for kids
Joe Lycett
Grayson Perry
Ricky Gervais
Jason Manford

Villains (mainly for being massive attention seekers) are:
Sam Smith - ‘they’ need to get a fucking grip!
Amanda Holden
Little Mix - all of them
Piers Morgan
Madonna

Maybelatte · 07/05/2020 08:46

Jameela Jamil grates on me to no end. I remember her being a simple T4 presenter and now suddenly she’s managed to make it big in America by slamming celebrities left, right and centre for doing what celebrities have always done.

Stacey Solomon is a pain too, ever since she became bezzie mates with Mrs Hinch. She just seems unwell to me personally, hanging up crisps in your cupboard really isn’t normal behaviour.

VideographybyLouBloom · 07/05/2020 08:49

I forgot Laura Whitmore and her boring boyfriend. Constantly seeking attention but it’s all in remembrance for Caroline Flack you know!

russetbella1000 · 07/05/2020 08:50

Ah I’m really sorry if this has been mentioned as haven’t read all but MICHAEL BALL and the whole Captain Tom thing makes me cringe. All so desperate and fake 🤮
