Celebs that give you strange vibes

Sort of related to another thread trending about Woo feelings and vibes from people or places. Some people have mentioned celebrities, many people said Saville, even my mum said they all knew he was very strange.
Any other people?

I’ve had a severe phobia of Elton John for as long as I can remember, so, I would say him.

Nooo leave Uncle Morgan, he’s so cute!

Is this the cute Uncle Morgan who was dating his step granddaughter?

That cute one 🤔

Rw. Noel Fitzpatrick - he thinks he is some kind of God and I agree his is probably a sociopath.

Cathy Dennis dated him. She wasn't his wife and the song Toxic was written by her about him.

She writes tonnes of songs. Very famous ones. Kylie's can't get you out of my head was another.

The comment about Robbie Williams' eyes, I think he's on a pretty high dose of a mood stabiliser which could give that glazed look. When he was at his peak, his eyes were wild! Look back at live footage, he's either manic or off his tits or both. It's much better that he's looking after his MH now.

I know vet nurses who have worked with Noel FP and said he's a prick.
Noel Fielding was very close to Russel Brand and did snog Pixie Geldolf when she was 17 and he was in his thirties. I love his humour so it pains me to say it.

Peter Tatchell

Oh, Bob Monkhouse, @Itwasafterallallaboutme ! I don't know anything about his personal life, but that smile couldn't be less sincere. It was barely a smile, was it? More of a grimace, like the murderer in a B movie -> Grin

Thinking about him has jogged my memory about Jim Davidson and Les Dennis. Think they've been mentioned already. I met them both in real life; urgh.

Edsspecialsauce · 24/01/2024 05:48

@2024GarlicCloves also all the creepy jokes he made that wouldn't fly now.
To female contestant 'thank you for playing with me, I wish you had'
To audience '60 per cent of men make love with their eyes closed. I always keep my eyes open, so I can see if the wife's coming home'

Oprah weirdly enough.

Thought the same about Ellen too.

I love Chris Packham! I'm autistic too though so that's perhaps why I don't see what others dislike about him. I guess the non-verbal characteristics he has might come across in different ways if you don't understand autistic communication.

I think that Chris Packham is a lovely and very caring human being, who has at least most of his priorities spot on.

He has no time to spare for idiots - he doesn't suffer fools gladly - and there are an awful lot of humans in this World who are very idiotic. I am not excluding myself from being one of them!

He appears to love his now adult step-daughter very much, and she seems to reciprocate those feelings for him, so that is a massive tick from me even if he had no other great characteristics.

Then of course, and the 'thing' I love him for the most, is his utter love and devotion for all animals - apart from the human ones, where selective care and compassion are necessary to a greater or lesser degree.

NB: I find it interesting that chimpanzees (and bonobos) are our nearest relatives in the non-human animal world, and that chimpanzees are amongst the most angry and aggressive animals in the word. We humans and chimpanzees share a lot more than similar genes, we also share our anger and aggression.

In fact humans are by far the most aggressive creatures on the planet, and the only ones that commit mass murder. So if we come upon someone who seems to be shunned by so many of their peers, and that that is just because they are different to the norm, to what we are used to, can we please treat them at least politely, and with a compassion that they might not have encountered for a very long time?

If they could do anything they would have taken down Tattle.

They don’t need to. The 2013 Defamation Act gives websites like Tattle and MN a defence when defamatory statements are made in user-generated content. What they will do, and have done, is hand over the identity of a poster making libellous statements if ordered by a court, so that the complainant can sue them directly.

Robbie Williams
Chris Evans
Walliams
Ricky Gervais

Thought the same about Ellen too.

Oprah cultivates this image of being a warm, confidante - but really she's a very hardnosed business woman with some very dodgy associates. She moved in the same circles as Harvey Weinstein.

Then that weird promotion of the "psychic surgeon" known as John of God - she did several shows with him. Yet he was a multiple rapist and I think over 600 victims came forward in the end,

2024GarlicCloves · 24/01/2024 06:50

@Itwasafterallallaboutme, you stretched a long way there in your eagerness to heap scorn on our species (also yours, I'll remind you!) Chimpanzees and bonobos in brackets, whom you chose not to mention again - was that because their vegetarian, "make love not war" tendencies didn't suit your hypothesis? I'd keenly dispute your idea that we're the most aggressive creatures, and even that no other species commits mass murder.

But none of that belongs on a thread about getting creepy vibes from celebrities 😄 I just wanted to recognise your post for giving me the first out-loud laugh of the day!

Pancakeorcrepe · 24/01/2024 06:54

@HollyKnight @porridgeisbae Chris Pratt is a wrong one, he has been caught more than once abandoning his dogs on the street and talks horribly about his cat (that he’ll put her down as soon as she gets old)

bastin · 24/01/2024 07:05

David Walliams has always made my skin crawl

Mikimoto · 24/01/2024 07:20

That loud Alison woman.
The sort of person it would be a nightmare to be stuck next to on a flight.

Maybe nobody has reported it. I just have. Nasty thread.

candaby653 · 24/01/2024 07:25

This thread should be deleted. Would you go on your local Facebook page and name "John from no 46 may st, is weird and gives me the creeps"
It's really not fair.

If you don't like a comedian/ presenter / actor whatever that's fine but calling them creepy and weird is wrong.

I reported it last night. Several have as got the mass email!

candaby653 · 24/01/2024 07:34

I reported it as well. Very very bad taste.

I don't think people understand that "celebs" are real people with feelings. Obviously some are bad but most are just making a living

heartofglass23 · 24/01/2024 07:36

Why has no one said Tom Jones yet?

Everyone forgot about him?

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 24/01/2024 07:38

I can also report whoever says “keith lemon” (it’s his persona/character) gives him vibes that the actual Leigh Francis is very nice - he used to live near a friend and was always out and about in local area.
