I have 2 "celebs" that I can't get enough of when I'm bored.

Both whom I used to admire but their behaviour and outlandish exploits can't make me tear my eyes away from their next catastrophes.

  1. Megan Markle. Thought she was amazing breath of fresh air when she joined the RF. Guessed an amazing future for her. Admired her Feminst past (fairy liquid anyone) but just watch open mouthed as I read about her fake marriage, taking the piss out of curtsey to the queen and the way she treats Hazzza. Etc

From twerking and the woe is me media junkets I just can't get enough. I don't know anyone like her in real life and wonder why she thinks she knows better than anyone else. From her pregnant twerking to her stealing of dresses. I continue to be gobsmacked. The weird thing is, I'm not a royalist in any shape or form. Get rid of the motor then, I say!!

Don't give a shit what the rest of the them get up to. Except AMW. Although think he'll disappear into obscurity. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in one of her counselling sessions. What the fuck goes through her mind??

  1. Katie Price , I was originally completely indifferent to her until IACGMOOFH, and saw a side of her of her that made me soften to her. But my god, the way she treats her animals, her kids and the endless fame and men chasing makes me want to know what goes through her head. The way she treats her poor eldest. No trust find squirrelled away for his future despite the millions she was taking in at one point. And siding him for views on social Media. Vile!

Blaming the government for not letting him stay at the Star centre. No love, they can only stay there 3 years and his time was up, what didn't you make sure he was financially protected? She again is a walking car crash and devour any media posts about her. Again not all the time, only when I'm bored.

Who are yours and why?

Bennifer was good the first time, even better the second.
Then the divorce. Add in the Jennifer Garner factor. Yup!

Wonder who he’ll shack up with next, to top all of this?!

I'm thinking someone younger like a another version of Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise but obviously she will have to be called Jennifer.

The Markles
The Beckhams
Am also enjoying the downfall of David Walliams and that other scarecrow sex pest who’s name escapes me.

Scarecrow sex pest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 taken me out with that.

Who?

ThePoshUns · 03/01/2026 20:25

Sorry not a sex pest but a rape suspect.

IDontDrinkTea · 03/01/2026 20:25

I’m not sure she really counts as a celeb, more of an influencer I suppose as she puts her life online. She’s the sister of a celeb. But Carrie Hope Fletcher. Got dumped by her ex boyfriend, then immediately met and married a rebound. Their wedding was in hello magazine and they’re interviewed about how they ran away to Gretna Green and ate cheese and onion sandwiches in the canteen there. None of her family came (surely because otherwise they’d have tried to talk her out of it). She then hosted a second wedding where she wore a wedding dress worthy of shrek and went on to have a baby. It’s not bad to get dumped, get married twice and then have a baby all within about eighteen months. And whenever someone clearly questions her, she does these angry Instagram Q&As where it seems like she submits her own questions because she wants to set the record straight

I had more issues trying to read the title of the thread.

BeMellowAquaSquid · 03/01/2026 20:29

The Beckhams for me I don’t know why I’m so invested in Brooklyn-gate

CheeseUpMyNose · 03/01/2026 20:29

Oh yes, definitely the Harry & Meghan saga. 🍿

His venal vapidity. The bewildering way she talks. The crazy stans. It’s all rather impressively awful.

I’m also fascinated by the idiocy of the Ramsay-Peaty-Beckham malarkey and the failure of so much expensive PR. As with the Sussexes, they all look like massive twats and some of them are paying a huge amount of money to do so.

Orangesandlemons77 · 03/01/2026 20:32

Britney Spears but I feel sorry for her too as she's got mental health issues

Kerry Katona. There’s a lot to come out there still.

JacknDiane · 03/01/2026 20:41

I find the Beckham drama strangely fascinating, I used to quite admire Victoria but now I wish she'd stop with the fake posing over her sons in every picture. And smile ffs

Theunamedcat · 03/01/2026 20:43

Harry and meghan he MUST be on drugs to think that people believe anything that pops out of his mouth because he changes his mind more often than his pants surely? His fake "i didn't say that" only holds up in a world where you kill the only person you tell and nothing is filmed EVER how does he manage it? Im just baffled

Katie price was publicly abused for entertainment but she has sailed off the edge years ago there is nothing left of her now its all been injected sculpted lifted tucked and inflated there is a part of me that feels a bit sorry she never had therapy or whatever she needed years ago because its clearly too late now im aghast that her daughter is being set along the same path

The other beef I watch are the youtube stars logan Paul and his brother i have a teenage son who also gets out the popcorn for those two

Shmoigel · 03/01/2026 20:58

I follow a comedian called Laura Clery and her ex husband is providing me with all the drams!!

His name is Stephen Hilton, he is a YouTuber and political commentator and it’s like watching a car crash in slow motion!!

Gribouille · 03/01/2026 21:04

The Real Housewives, esp of Beverly Hills... what a bunch of narcissists, and all of them seem to be on something, as well as the relentless booze... 😳

TheRuffleandthePearl · 03/01/2026 16:28

I’m not a celebrity follower at all but the Peaty Ramsay hen do/wedding drama had me hooked for a few weeks. Trying to decide if his family are hard done by or just completely unhinged! I’m sure it’s not done yet!

Same here, I love good celeb family he said/she said feud.
I do feel sorry for the Peatys, just a humble ordinary family being thrown into a limelight that they hadn't asked for

Shmoigel · 03/01/2026 21:06

Also Katie price is a month younger than me and looks shocking nowadays. I truly hope her daughter doesn’t go down the same path.

Squawrobin · 03/01/2026 21:09

I don’t like 50 cent at all he’s pretty unpleasant to one of his two kids.

“After his dad called him "entitled" in October 2022, Marquise offered his father $6,700 to spend 24 hours with him, "so we can do everything I ever wanted to do with him as a kid." In response, 50 Cent said on "I don't think the relationship works."
Following the interview, Marquise called out his dad on Instagram, writing: "Now y'all all see I tried to reach out to talk to my pops as a MAN in front of the [world] & behind the scenes. _
"I have no phone number for you & You've had me blocked on social media for years so I can’t DM you personally & everybody that is mutual is scared to touch the topic bc they’re scared of you. This seems to be the only way to reach you."

“Their estrangement only got worse in 2018 when 50 Cent left a comment on a photo of Marquise and the son of Supreme McGriff, one of the rapper's rivals, saying he wouldn't mind if Marquise was "hit by a bus”

Vile.

I didn’t know any of this but for some reason I always found her overly smug and irritating 🤣

What a strange post and pretty poor taste. I guess the internet and the anonymity enables people to be unashamedly themselves. Very sad indeed.
