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.

Tbf Jason Manford is on my villages local Facebook, and he is volunteering and getting tagged by a lot of grateful residents. He's not shouting about it and is doing a really good job. I think other people are bragging about it as they like the idea of a celeb taking them to hospital and that's why it's being picked up.

Can't stand the incessant pics of half dressed z listers who realise as they can't be papped going from a to b so have gone ' Look at me in my garden / house/ front door ' Boring !

Binterested · 06/05/2020 07:56

Jameela Jalil. Everything she says is for attention.

Notredamn · 06/05/2020 07:56

Oh I agree about Sophie Ellis Bextor. She's great.

HollySideEyes · 06/05/2020 07:58

The Jesy one from Little Mix also popping up on IG and general newsfeeds but I don't follow them/her?

The dressing up doesn't really bother me, people get bored but it;s the gob always wide open, tongue out, manic expressions, jumping around. I think she thinks she looks sexy doing it? She looks deranged. 'I come alive at night' - right you are love.

My sis thinks she's trying to get her ex to see what he missing. I should think he'd be fcucking relieved.

Was it also Olly Murs? didn't see but read about here on MN, with his dick in a Pringles tube, made me feel ill, isn't he late 30s?

Lot's of 'slebs seem to remain quite infantile mentally.

I don't follow much celebrity news, but what I don't get is why someone like Amanda Holden needs to do all this posing. Prompted by this thread I had a quick look at her Instagram and every second post seemed to show cleavage, tight clothing, her hands on hips etc. I sort of understand why young women starting out might do that kind of thing to get publicity - Liz Hurley is a case in point - but Amanda is in her late forties and famous already. Why does she need to do it? She works on the radio - no one can see her there. She is married - is it that she wants other men to fancy her or something? At what point will she stop?

I am on a one-woman campaign to bring back the nineties term 'poser' and 'posing' - which used to be seen as very bad form - as being very applicable to the social media age.

Dr Sarah Jarvis is everywhere - give that woman a glass of water for her sticky mouth. Amanda Holden - whose eyes have now disappeared due to excessive use of botox - burbling on about her improved sex life and 5G masts. Christine McGuinness in her nasty nylon underwear. Baroness Michelle Mone showcasing her scary new face. Any celeb boasting about their charity work - just do it and don't tell us about it.

The Beckhams, stop already with David's sun burnt, wrinkly, gurning, vacant looking face topped off with a jaunty baker's boy cap. Victoria slithering around like a miserable ghost. Elton John with his chestnut hair in a bowl cut wailing at his piano. Make it all stop.

Meghan and Harry with their pleas for privacy and endless, pointless attention-seeking antics

Fluffybutter · 06/05/2020 08:29

All of them , absolutely all of them .

Bertucci · 06/05/2020 08:34

That description of the Beckhams is just perfect 😂

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 06/05/2020 08:35

I've always had a bit of a thing for Hugh Bonneville, pity to hear he's a twat.

On the positive side - Andrew Lloyd Webber. His YouTube channel is the highlight of my Sunday afternoons Grin

plunkplunkfizz · 06/05/2020 08:39

She has a Friday night ‘concert’ in her kitchen surrounded by her five boys who sometimes get involved.

Really lovely

One person’s really lovely is another’s cringeworthy and exploitative. Everything she does now can be summed up as “ooh look at me, I’m a prolific breeder of wackily named feral kids and I like shiny things. LOOK AT ME!!!!”

Yy to Christine McGuinness, I feel sorry for her because her dh was still pictured with Nicole Appleton a couple of years ago.

It looks like she’s over compensating.

PutThemInTheIronMaiden · 06/05/2020 08:47

Jason Manford doesn’t do ANYTHING AT ALL without trying to cover his disgusting, wanky self in glory. Insufferable thing.

Dave Grohl is a legend.

Futurenostalgia · 06/05/2020 08:49

Yes Christine McGuinness stands out to me. Her behaviour on TikTok (isn’t that for kids?) is embarrassing for a grown woman. I’ve seen her on interviews discussing her autistic children and she comes across as quite sensible. I don’t know what she’s doing.

Mammyloveswine · 06/05/2020 08:49

OMG I just watched it... that is HIDEOUS!! Argh it's so cringe!! I can't even.. omfg! And Chris O dowd and his annoying wife trying to harmonise???

obviouslymarvellous · 06/05/2020 08:49

Also paddy mcguinnes wife - as a mum of 3 and one has very challenging behaviour with autism and pda profile. I want to scream at her. One minute she is bleating on about how hard her life is then she is on every bloody social media site in next to nothing. JUST FUCK OFF! She has clearly no fucking idea how lockdown has been and is an attention seeking arsehole!

IVFNewbie · 06/05/2020 08:51

Nicole Kidman dancing to Keith Urban's songs. hahah!Just so cringey

Mammyloveswine · 06/05/2020 08:52

Anyone see the daily fail publish pictures of Lauren Goodger (towin) going for a "run" in the most skintight hideous leggings and crop top, full face of make up, phone in hand..

Futurenostalgia · 06/05/2020 08:54

Yes Lauren Goodger. She’s so puffed up now she’s almost unrecognisable. I do feel a bit sorry for her.
