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

Dreadful woman, can't stand her.

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.

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. 😉

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...

Sarah Millican is very funny.

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

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.

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?

... 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 .

Agreed. Not funny.

What Ailidh says!

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