God all of them. I’m intensely boring and a total nobody so they would all be desperate to go and talk to someone else. Misery.

I’m quite frightened of Olivia Colman so will put her head of the list. I’m sure she’s great to her friends.

She's absolutely lovely, and just likebyou see her on tv. Not scary at all, and quite funny.

I thought Nicole Sherzinger might be a bit of an intolerable gopher but I can honestly say she is an absolute sweetheart (but this was in the days of PussyCat dolls though and she had just broken up with Lewis I-love-me Hamilton)

I know that her being in touch with old friends makes her seem grounded to some.

For me, it makes her seem like a school bully! Surely you'd outgrow such people if you became a major celeb. Unless the people were 'at the top' of the social hierarchy back then. The 'cool' group from my childhood school are still in touch, for them, the benefits of being school bullies never stopped.

I am massively projecting, i completely accept. Just dont like them.

Really like other women in that industry, just cant shake that feeling, and when i watched asap rocky, i just felt clear in what it evokes in me

Show quote history

I think we must be the same person as I completely agree.

Damon Albarn. I love Blur and Gorillaz but he seems like a bit of an arse.

I can imagine that Damon Albarn is one of those high maintenance creative people who doesn’t gel that well with more normal people. I read Alex James’s autobiography and he said he didn’t like him much at first ! All the Blur boys are a bit odd I think. Maybe that’s why they seemed to work well together.

I was obsessed with Damon Albarn in the 90s. Then I saw a film of him directing an orchestra of middle aged men (DA was aged about 30 at the time) and he was telling them off like they were a bunch of hopeless schoolkids. So I then thought he was an arse.

However I've read about his recent gorillaz festival and his collaborators were said he was a good egg. So perhaps I was harsh in my judgement..

I am at a loss as to how Rihanna being in touch with her old friends is necessarily a bad thing.
Some projection going on, I think!
