To wonder why famous people feel they have to over share personal stuff

Well, I've never heard of her but IMHO, no, vulgar is very rarely funny.

What Ailidh says!

Agreed. Not funny.

... Oh, my aching sides!

I agree with you. Also think it's rather juvenile.

No doubt there are others who would tell us to "lighten up, it's only a joke", or the ubiquitous "get a sense of humour".

That last one always puzzles me because what the person is actually saying is, you-should-laugh-at-the-things-that-amuse-ME!

... and then there's that old chestnut accusation that we are "prudes" or, as I've read a couple of times on GN, "pearl-clutching" prudes!

Just as an aside - does anyone still wear pearl necklaces? I think I wore them once when I was about 17 at my first ever company Christmas dinner. I didn't dare clutch them though because they belonged to my mother who lent them to me for the occasion. Together with my twin-set (yes, really!) I must've looked 17 going on 70 .

I wonder why anyone, famous or not has to overshare personal stuff.
Is it because they think it makes them more interesting or because they haven’t got anything else to talk about?

The last time I watched Sarah Millican, a long time ago now, she was wittering on about some bodily function which wasn't particularly funny. I don't know whether women who resort to all of that feel that they have to compete with "some" men on that sort of level. Maybe it boils down to the fact that they aren't actually funny at all? I don't remember the supremly talented late Caroline Aherne scrapping the bottom of the barrel in quite the same way.

They love the sound of their own voice Mollygo.
I dont like vulgar and she has been on many occasions.

Sarah Millican is very funny.

That's interesting. I find Sarah Millican refreshingly funny, I dont see it s a sort of competing at all, just at last giving us women-centred humour in areas some of which have been in the dark too long.

However, the O/P is just gross - if her husband and really said that, its antiquated male humour. Unless he later divorced him and was telling all...

Typical celebrity behaviour who will do or say anything to get the attention they crave.

Dickens I wear a fitted cropped cashmere twin set and pearls with denims. Works for me. There is no rule to say one should stop wearing pearls. 😉

I'm not a particular fan of Katherine Ryan, but I do think there are double standards at work when male comedians can get away with being 'vulgar', yet women can't. If you don't like that type of humour, that's fair enough - it'd be a very boring world if we all liked the same things, but it's not compulsory to watch or listen to that type of humour, whether it's coming from a male comedian or a female.

Dreadful woman, can't stand her.

Katherine Ryan is awful (just my opinion obviously). I don't find any modern comedians funny.

I can only think she has the worst possible judgement if she has engaged in any way with Jonathan Ross.

Wyllow I don't think it was her husband's comment, I think the gist was her contemplating "he's off doing that because he has more of a choice of holes" which most women would be affronted by if said by a man, I don't think it sounds any better coming out of her mouth.

I haven't seen Sarah Millican for quite a while so maybe I should give her another go.

I need some help here...

Are we complaining because there is a perception that KR was over sharing?

Or that she tells rude jokes?

Or that there are double standards?

Or that real ladies shouldn't tell vulgar jokes?

Or that Johnathan Ross isn't a very nice chap?

So much to choose from...

Katherine Ryan told a rude joke, why watch someone who’s humour you do not like on a programme with a host that you also dislike?

And then why read about it in the Daily Mail?

No, but you mustn't clutch them

Actually, fitted and cropped sounds rather nice - a bit different from my mother's shapeless and baggy ensemble!

We are complaining of all the above. KR sometimes makes remarks that are unfunny and needlessly crude. It is the fashion to over-share because it gets publicity and without that what would these 'slebs' do?

I don't think she's at all funny. I don't think she is good on that jewellery programme. Personal viewpoint.

But I don't think she's over-sharing. She's telling jokes. I don't think her husband actually said that.

I don't like it when Jim Davidson talks about Chalky White, but I don't believe he has a friend called Chalky White. 😕

I can't bear Kathryn Ryan or Jonathon Ross. I don't find either of them funny or interesting. Having said that, I can't think of even one woman I find funny

How nice to have much to choose from - it's called debate, and sometimes conversation, or sharing opinions, and invariably the topic widens to embrace other views.

I can think of dozens...
