Who's Sam Smith?

I have heard of Ricky Gervaise

Frankly, I do not know who half most of these people are, so do not waste time reading about them. A performer performs, the rest of their life is of little interest to me.

I have never cared about the views of celebs.
Lily Allen has been suspiciously quiet lately, or did I speak too soon?

However, I agree wholeheartedly with Ricky Gervais.

I agree with your comment oscar "how irrelevant" Not all, by any means, some have been very magnanimous, however, there are definitely those who seemingly have to keep their profile up there with the "look at me" type of posts. Given the current climate can't help thinking how ridiculous some of them are.

The one that I just gaped at the insensitivity and idiocy of was Amanda Holden (sic?) posting pictures of herself cutting the grass in a bikini. Not her DOING it, please note. Do what you like, when and how, in your own home. But posting photographs of it. In the middle of a pandemic when thousands of people are dying around us.

The total self-centredness of that woman does my head in. Plastic. Vacuous.

They do all that because they’re desperate not to be forgotten. It’s dawning on a lot of them how irrelevant they are. Must keep the money pouring in!

I'm sorry, I know it's not politically correct but I wanted to slap Sam Smith and tell him to get a grip.

Some of them have no idea of the real world and the real suffering.

The moaning celebs irritate me no end!

Not for the first time, when he lambastes "some" c'lebs Sam Smith for one, great voice but oh so wet for moaning and groaning about self isolation often in a home with every luxury at their disposal, when medical staff are giving their all at at the front line on 14 hour shifts.

I also think some c'lebs have no nous whatsoever in their vulgarity of displaying, their own so called self isolation, often in very spacious second homes, equipped with every luxury known to man, via Instagram, when some families will be cooped up in small living areas, without outside spaces.
