I'll start us off. Madonna calling the virus a great equalizer because it doesn't care how rich you are or how old... as it disproportionaly harms those who are older (disease) or poorer (financially).

Matt Goss telling us we can go anywhere in our minds Grin

Any more?

Loads of them are being dickheads! Alternatively Blake lively, Ryan Reynolds and especially Britney Spears are doing great things.

Womenwotlunch · 25/03/2020 13:57

Pharrell - asking people to donate to a GoFund Me, when people are concerned about losing their livelihoods.
He could have asked some of his rich celebrity friends for a million quid each.

Womenwotlunch · 25/03/2020 13:58

Rihanna has done some wonderful things.

SapphireSeptember · 25/03/2020 14:02

Good 'uns.
I saw a video of The Rock teaching his daughter how to wash her hands while singing to her and thought that was adorable.

Also Cristina Scabbia has been a beacon of calm while living under lock-down in Milan, and Amy Lee, Lindsey Stirling and Sharon den Adel doing mini-concerts for people is just brilliant.

Stephen Colbert doing The Late Show at his house has also been amazing. We need some light relief.

Britney Spears has been surprising, but delightful. Good on her. Smile

Tim Martin for not paying his staff.

Richard Branson for telling his staff to take 8 weeks of unpaid leave when he has a personal fortune of £4bn and a private island.

Shosha1 · 25/03/2020 14:15

Loved watching Maria Doyle Kennedy doing Songs from the Kitchen Table. Shes done one and another some time towards end of week I think.

TheSpanielsBalls · 25/03/2020 14:17

@SocksForceFive absolutely.

There's a whole other thread possible to list the companies that should get more/no custom when all this is done.

Sports Direct, Wetherspoons and Virgin are already on my personal shit list...

Gingerkittykat · 25/03/2020 14:21

Holy shit, I'vr got a new contendor, Sarah Ferguson who shared this little gem of wisdom.

Mother Nature has sent us to our rooms.. like the spoilt children we are. She gave us time and she gave us warnings. She was so patient with us. She gave us fire and floods, she tried to warn us but in the end she took back control. She has sent us to our rooms and when she is finished clearing up our mess. She will let us out to play again. How will we use this time? xxxx

Well dear, most of us have not been spending our time flying round the world on private jets to our multi million-pound ski cabin and taking money from paedophiles to be able to keep partying. Calling the rest of us spoiled takes the biscuit.

cricketmum84 · 25/03/2020 14:27

Kirstie Allsopp has annoyed me the most so far. When the GMB producers "accidentally" faded her out mid way through her rant this morning I was howling!!

How dare she tell us pet food isn't essential. And how dare she have a go at anyone when she packed up her Covid infected family and moved them all to their holiday home which goes directly against the government advice!!!

Never liked her anyway.

TheSpanielsBalls · 25/03/2020 14:28

Lorraine Fucking Kelly.

On The Last Leg last week ranting about people being out of the house for non essential reasons - whilst being out of her own house for the non essential reason of being on telly.

feelingverylazytoday · 25/03/2020 14:35

The top culprits are Sam Smith and Kirsty Allsop.
On the plus side, Carol Vorderman is offering free maths lessons to children via her website. Rihanna has donated and I expect other celebrities are quietly donating and doing their bit. We just won't get to hear about them.

Notredamn · 25/03/2020 14:37

All the ones on Instagram acting like they're doing a public service by posting ego-project type videos to keep us rabble entertained.

turnandfacethenamechange · 25/03/2020 14:41

I'vr got a new contendor, Sarah Ferguson

She's a giant dick. Her management team insist you refer to her as "the duchess" on the phone when you're talking about her too Grin

Cheeryandmerry · 25/03/2020 14:42

Ant Middleton has got to be up there, hasn’t he? And that twatty telly doctor (Jepson? Jesson?) who said Italy was using Coronavirus as an excuse for a siesta.

Bloomburger · 25/03/2020 14:43

Gordon ducking billionaire Ramsey just laid his staff off with 1 months pay.

What an arsehole!

supercee · 25/03/2020 14:46

Probably only Scottish people will find this funny but go on Janey Godley's Instagram page and you'll see her funny voiceover of Madonna in that bath.

I'll see you Sam and Kirsty and raise you Davinia Taylor, used to be part of the Primrose Hill crew and used to be married to David Beckham's best mate. Went to rehab and now sober.

Now she's a fitness and bio hacking guru which was great at first now it's bordering on ridiculous the amount of pills, potions she does (clearly swapped one addiction for another) and now it's daily updates from her isolation in her humungous villa in Marbella, with it's own gym, tonnes of land and insane views over a beach, which granted she doesn't get to walk on.

Like fuck off. She does actually come across quite nice but these celebs have no clue, self isolating in a mansion or a pokey flat, I know what I'd choose, have some awareness.

CassandraCross · 25/03/2020 14:49

On the good list:

Pep Guardiola for personally donating 1 million Euros to a fund in Barcelona which is raising money to buy much needed equipment to tackle Coronavirus.

On the shit list:

All those 'celebrities' who have decamped to their second homes in the countryside with no thought for the locals, local services, etc., number one on this list is of course Kirstie Allsop.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 25/03/2020 14:52

Let’s not forget Ant Middleton was keen for Brexit to force medicine shortages and kill off the “weak”. No surprise his reaction really.

Kirsty bloody Allsop packing herself and her Covid positive husband off to infect Devon and publishing a fucking article on it right after the government said stay home, what an absolute Twatbag! I see the thread on her has been zapped...Hmm

I am compiling a shitlist of bad companies too, it’s updated by the hour.

AlexaCrowe · 25/03/2020 15:15

Add piers Morgan to the ‘good list’!

cricketmum84 · 25/03/2020 15:46

Piers Morgan defo on my good list :) watching a lot of GMB while we are at home and I'm loving him and his attitude!

AlexaCrowe · 25/03/2020 15:48

He’s offering to pay the parking tickets of NHS staff who are getting tickets while on shift.

Stellaris22 · 25/03/2020 21:33

Struggling to understand this weird alternate time line where Piers Morgan is being nice.

Always hated Kirstie Allsop, this just adds to it.

Duck90 · 25/03/2020 22:42

I can’t believe, or maybe I can, that so many celebrities are reading this climate so wrong.

We are not equal, at all.

But I won’t forget their attention seeking behaviour. This really has been an eye opener.

Lardlizard · 26/03/2020 06:00

“He’s offering to pay the parking tickets of NHS staff who are getting tickets while on shift.“
Doubt he’s that rich is he ??

dorapicasso · 26/03/2020 07:21

Lily Allen. Always annoying at the best of times.
