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.

The MM hate isn’t very fair. Firstly, the reading thing wasn’t (IIRC) anything to do with lockdown, just about reading improving children’s lives. Also, I read my 7 month old anything and everything - sometimes just what I’m reading, at bedtime we read Roald Dahl, Winnie the Pooh etc, not for one minute thinking he is following the plot but to get him used to bedtime; story time; the language etc. So I think it’s super disingenuous to have a go at her (and it’s targeted on her, rather than him) for the book being “beyond” Archie.

Back on topic - Jack Monroe has been beyond annoying in all of this. The stuff with Jamie Oliver then when, like a petulant child getting her own way, she got the BBC gig - she was absolutely awful, made the whole programme unwatchable for me. So maybe there was a reason Channel 4 wanted JO and not her... Confused

Sam Smith and Victoria Beckham for obvious reasons. Lauren Goodger I just feel sorry for.

Jack Monroe’s hubris is truly extraordinary. First to accuse Jamie of stealing her “thing”; and second, to think that she should get a lockdown show in preference to him, when he has 20+ years of proven telly experience, a good following and a huge C4 archive to draw upon, and she’s not even proven herself via regular YouTube/Insta stuff.
Daily Kitchen Live really showed her up. She was pretty unwatchable, seems pretty antagonist towards the host, and for someone who’s written several successful cookbooks, she had remarkably little food knowledge.
She needs someone to manage her brand, or she risks mucking it up completely.

@PhilSwagielka Thank you for that. I really like Gomez too so am just looking at one of the videos now.

Petr Andre
Slagging off Katie Price...
Er excuse me mate, but you wouldn't be where you are now if you hadn't met her in the jungle and married her- you'd still be singing in clubs and pubs!

When has Peter Andre actually slagged off Katie Price. He's always seemed to me to have avoided speaking about her at all if he can.
He must be mortally embarrassed to have ever been married to her at all - apart from his kids - who he loves, apparently.

@Entschuldigung I'm still pissed off I missed their Liquid Skin anniversary tour! I got my dates mixed up. I did take my mum to the Bring It On one though. She's a fan and she missed a gig way back in 1999 as she had to have surgery and wasn't allowed to drive, so I thought I'd make it up to her. They're a lot of fun live.

Ben's dog does the odd cameo as well.

@GivenchyDahhling I agree. It’s hard work reading to little babies too. I like MM.

I can’t say many people have annoyed me, I can’t get worked up about famous people posting pics etc.

I don’t like Sam Smith but was never a fan anyway. Always annoyed me.

Yeah but Pete loves his kids - I mean, really LOVES his kids. Nobody else loves their kids as much as Pete loves his.

@TimeTravellersHat omg I couldn't agree more about Gary Barlow. Everything about him in those crooner sessions is so fucking cringe.

Mark Owen's instagram is also very cringe with his "happy hour: of guided meditation. Then you've got Howard Donald reading bedtime stories.

Take That aside, olly murs is clearly an attention seeker.

Ellen apparently is a complete bitch

Emma Thomson, Jameela Jamil, Stacy Soloman (yes even good old Stace!) and Jack Munro have all been supporters of self ID and gender ideogy, and as this impacts on women's rights, it's a no from me...

Which brings me on to the biggest bell end all, Sam Smith.

Swap places with me Sam, a woman, home schooling 2 kids, working, doing chores and shopping for my ageing parents - falling to me, a woman. Funny how society knows what sex I am, especially during lockdown.

I'm surprised at Stacey Solomon, she's an Orthodox Jew and they're super conservative about LGBT people. Although she sings solo in public, so I doubt she's that observant.

Also, genuine question - would people on here hate Sam Smith as much if they identified as male instead of non-binary and used 'he'?

People don’t hate Sam Smith for being non-binary they hate Sam Smith for being a whiny so & so.

Being non-binary is the only interesting thing about Sam Smith. Unfortunately for Sam smith most of us have real problems right now and have no time for poor Sam smith.

She seems to believe that women should share hospital wards with men, to spare TRAs' feelings.

As for Sam Smith...even without all the silly 'they' nonsense, his dramatic performance during C19 (along with other performances) shows him to be an insufferable attention seeker.
