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 like the fact more and more people are going to twitch. I think it's a good leveller and gives celebs a more realistic view of their popularity.

Lady Gaga

Once again jumping on the bandwagon is their any pain that others can feel that she has not had it worse. She is so insincere

I think some people just don’t know what to do with themselves without the attention they are used to getting

Oooh, cracking my knuckles!

Amanda Holden desperately attention seeking daily. On my MSN feed there’s always something about her: be amazed at Amanda’s dress, which costs less than you think! Watch Amanda walking into the radio station dolled up to the nines for the photographers who just happen to be waiting!

Victoria Beckham grasping at taxpayers’ money to keep her vanity business on life support, then only backing down, ungraciously, when there was an outcry.

All the twats trying to remind us that they are still alive. Look at us! Here we are! Watch our inept tik tok video! Remember our names! We still want to sell you stuff!

James Martin has been making fresh pasta for his village - 2000 bags of it so far.

sobeyondthehills · 06/05/2020 00:37

One that has seriously impressed me is Jason Manford. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but he's getting on with things. At the beginning of all this, when he thought some places were going to be desperate for staff to keep going, he applied for jobs. He's going out and volunteering, taking old people to hospital appointments and stuff like that. Also he's coming from the view that he is very bloody lucky to have the life he does and that he thinks he should give something back.

YouTheCat what did Elon Musk do? Or do you just mean he's a twat in general?

Iamthewombat · 06/05/2020 00:38

Every time I see that hours have passed whilst I have stared into the abyss, I thank God I am not a narcissistic celebrity. Imagine attention being part of your survival.

Nicely put, OP.

Whether they want it or not. And making sure that the media know about it. Attention seeking again.

Doingtheboxerbeat · 06/05/2020 00:51

@Iamthewomat, why is Amanda Holden a thing on ALL my feeds every day?? I don't watch or listen to anything she is mixed up in, I don't click on anything, why why why are you everywhere. I half expect her to be lounging on my settee. The same thing happens with Gemma Collins. I think there all on a windup.

What did Ellen actually say?

Sparklingbrook · 06/05/2020 00:53

Something odd has happened today surrounding Amanda Holden’s daughter (8) saying Simon Cowell has split up with his girlfriend. Confused

tillyteatowel · 06/05/2020 00:54

Amanda Holden has shared conspiracy theories and insisted they need a live studio audience this year.

Michael Palin has disappointed me with his batshit nonsense about how keeping over-70s locked down means their “lives don’t count” - apparently not comprehending what lockdown is FOR.

Womenwotlunch · 06/05/2020 00:58

Sam Smith
Jesy Nelson
Kim K
P Diddy
Michael Bublé

StillMedusa · 06/05/2020 01:05

Jonny Vegas has been volunteering... turned up with PPE for a friend of mine's son (who is disabled) without making a song and dance about it!

earthyfire · 06/05/2020 01:11

Nadia Sawalha from Loose Women - According to Nadia and her egotiscal husband they are "essential key workers" because they constantly post about themselves online talking about coronavirus and apparently this helps to "entertain" people. Hmm

user1471565182 · 06/05/2020 01:26

Did you know James Martin is from Yorkshire? hes from Yorkshire.

user1471565182 · 06/05/2020 01:27

Why cant jameel jamil shutup? shes physically incapable of doing it. Nothing will beat her coming out as 'queer' to avoid criticism of being a judge on some bloody reality program though.

Deadringer · 06/05/2020 01:31

I don't what Ellen has done but i can't stand her, all that smirking and wisecracking, but completely dead behind the eyes.

Starksforthewin · 06/05/2020 01:38

Meghan Markle.

Look what she did to get attention, and it still wasn’t enough for her. Now she is back in LA trying to get attention from the people who ignored her first time around.

Narcissism incarnate.

MrsNettle · 06/05/2020 01:52

@tillyteatowel
Yes to Michael Palin! I was so disappointed when I read what he said. According to him we all should stay in lock down until we lose our jobs and homes just to show solidarity with over 70s who have nothing to lose financially by staying in at home (well, a drop in their pension but it's nothing compared to what the younger ones risk).

TimeTravellersHat · 06/05/2020 01:55

Ben Fogle with all that sing happy birthday to the queen nonsense. Even IF (and that’s a big if) it was his daughters idea he chose to run with it.

Gary Barlow singing/talking to other “celebs” on webcam and doing a really annoying “move closer to the camera” thing when he talks/sings. There is no need for him to do that.

Pickles89 · 06/05/2020 02:00

I used to love Ellen but I went right off her when she had a guest on her show, I can't remember who, either a singer or an actress, and she would not SHUT UP about the size of her pregnancy bump. Yes, it was a big bump, but did she really think it would be helpful/entertaining/original to keep asking if she was sure it wasn't twins, and was she sure she wasn't due to give birth today, and all that. It was so rude!

Pieceofpurplesky · 06/05/2020 02:07

As a complete reverse to this and as someone who isn't fond of celebrity - I am loving Stacey Solomon!

Pieceofpurplesky · 06/05/2020 02:08

Pressed too soon!

All the music collaborations though are so cringey

overnightangel · 06/05/2020 02:13

I had to google half the folk mentioned above.
I’m genuinely surprised, I just assumed the answer to the OP would be “Phillip Schofield”, as it usually is. Strange times indeed we are living in
