That story hit the headlines the day after dc3 was born.

I kept the birthday newspapers for all dc and am still exceedingly thankful to have dodged that particular screecher 😂

Estella Marie Thompson (born August 9, 1969), also known as Divine Brown, is an American former sex worker. She gained media attention in 1995 when the English actor Hugh Grant was caught receiving oral sex from her in his car on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard. Thompson has remained in the public eye through work in pornography, television appearances, and newspaper interviews.
Early life
Thompson grew up in poverty in East Oakland, California. She was one of six children of a single mother.[1] Having herself become a mother of two daughters, she turned to sex work when she could not pay a $133 electricity bill.[1] Going to Union Square in San Francisco one night, she earned $1,000 in five hours.[citation needed]
Legal troubles
Arrest with Hugh Grant
On June 27, 1995, Thompson and British actor Hugh Grant were arrested together in Los Angeles. According to Thompson, the attention of a policeman was alerted by Grant repeatedly pressing the brake pedal of his BMW with his foot, causing the brake lights to flash many times.[2]
Charged with lewd conduct, she pleaded no contest on September 6, 1995.[3] She was ordered to attend an AIDS class and perform five days of community service, and sentenced to two years' summary probation. She was also sentenced to 180 days in jail for unconnected parole violations relating to two prostitution convictions. She had to pay a fine and costs of $1,350 in total in relation to the offences.[3] Hugh Grant pleaded no contest and was fined $1,180 and ordered to complete an AIDS education program.[4]

Lorraine Kelly. The tax avoidance scam of saying she’s playing a character and Lorraine isn’t her is an unbelievable brass neck.

The couthy Scottish wifiey act does my nut in.
And I'm Scottish

I remember my mum used to leave the room when Ronnie Corbett used to do his solo, sitting in a chair joke bit in the 2 Ronnies. She could not stand it, made her absolutely furious!

He was a real superior dick. He knew my grandad a bit through golf, and my grandma despised him!

timetochangethering · 06/07/2025 20:25

Daisy May Cooper..... Even when not playing a character, she is just so chavvy, I listened to a podcast where she was laughing about shoplifting, and lost all respect in about 60 seconds.

Amanda Holden, David Walliams (both shallow and immature) and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (smug) - although none of these are irrational IMHO.

nunsflipflop · 06/07/2025 20:26

Katherine Jenkins for no reason whatsoever, I just can’t stand her.

Tom Daley, presenting himself as a committed married man, well known for shagging gay actors in well known West End theatre productions.

Gary Linnekar, for many reasons, but the obvious being stuck up his own arse.

Amanda Holden

That BBC expose after he dies 😬😬

Open all hours indeed...

viques · 06/07/2025 20:27

@JazzyJelly Have looked.She made charges against him. Withdrew them a week later. Now claims tabloids made it all up.

Have thought of another one. Kate Garroway, yes it was a horrific thing that happened to her husband, and I feel sorry for him, and her children for having to go through it, but blumming heck, she is milking it for all it’s worth now, (as is also the girl friend of Liam Payne with her signs and memories, sorry love, he was a drug addict who sadly fell off a balcony when off his head on illegal drugs, chances are you would have parted long before now if he was still alive.) It is one thing to mourn for someone you have lost, another to monetise their death.

Adele - foghorn
And yes. David Tennant. Annoying hyperactive show-off.
Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond have ruined Bake Off for me.

with that dreadful "imagine" rendition playing that Chris O'Dowd featured on during Covid

And Leigh Francis can go in the room, too.

Timeforatincture · 06/07/2025 20:28

Anna Chancellor. I know nothing to her discredit, just hate that stupid simpering mouth. And her cleft chin. Hate cleft chins. Like having an arse on your face. Sorry Anna. You'll probably cooe with suffering my totally irrational dislike.

Claudia Winkleman. Her fringe and bad makeup annoy me so much.

I used to really dislike her years ago but I now think she’s an icon, mainly thanks to The Traitors! Love how she leans into how mad she looks too lol

Are we only allowed just the one? I have no time for most of them as I think that we only see the public face that gets to earn the money and privileges. I sometimes play a little guessing game as to who is an utter bastard when the camera isn't rolling. I reckon that the lower down the celeb pecking order the more entitled and demanding they are.

Youre allowed as many as you want, this is a safe space to hate

@viques I bought both KG’s books because I felt sorry for her, but the second documentary she did made me quite uncomfortable. I think she quite literally needed the money for his costs though

All of these suggestions seem very rational

An irrational suggestion would be the Dalai Lama.

Yeah that bastard plus all his reincarnations

People aren’t going to be mean to him today.

It’s his 90th birthday.🎂

ClimbEveryLadder · 06/07/2025 20:32

Lots that are rational like Tom Daley, Stephen Fry

My less rational one is the posh lady that does property programs and craft stuff Kirsty? She just seems such a ‘talentless but knows the right people’ presenter

I think she’s actually a bit of a cow IRL actually, so you’re probably picking up on that. The guy she works with on that property show is a big game hunters too. Pair of twats.
