Sick of celebrities

So was I. It’s allowed when you’re young - and they were in a different league to some of today’s ‘celebrities’.

Mond you, I was obsessed with the pop stars of the '60s so I'm being a hypocrite

My gd looovvvees Taylor swift . I had never heard of her before then, ( gd coukdnt believe it!).
I still don’t know any of her songs, she coukdnt believe that either, so she’s clearly very popular and super super wealthy. Second only to Elon Musk I heard. Not surprising considering the cost of tickets, 🎫

I haven’t a clue about any of her songs, except one, ‘Love Story’, which I think she wrote when she was 17. Based on Romeo and Juliet.

It’s really good, I think, with a great video. Taylor is very pretty in it.

My 16 year old GD is a big fan, I think.

I totally agree. I too am fed up with what the newspapers call news when it is all about so called celebrities. I have stopped buying newspapers and instead just go online and read the headlines but there again, it is all about so called celebs.

They would be totally insignificant if silly people didn't go watch their shows, join their vlogs, blogs whatever they call them these days. I wonder how long they would last if everyone ignored them.

My husband said to me once, 'Anything on BBC1 now?'. I said 'Pointless Celebrities.' He said 'Yes I know they are but what's on BBC1?'

Galaso true - pointless

The clue is in the title Anniebach. That's exactly what they are - pointless.😬

I'm also sick of what look to be interesting documentaries being fronted by 'celebrities' who make it all about them... no doubt at the instigation of producers/directors who seem to think it's what we want. Well I don't.

Anyone who has appeared for 5 minutes on Gogglebox or these awful reality shows consider themselves a celebrity these days. I pass by all the newspapers and magazines who have 'celebrities' splashed over the front page. If the Kardashians and their ilk are role models for our young girls, then heaven help us.

I am not the slightest bit interested in any celebrities and, until last week, I didn't know who Taylor Swift was. And now I do know, I couldn't care less.

There is a letter in The Daily Mail magazine today agreeing with you re Bradley's son Bluebelle.

And while we re having a knock
Celebrities who launch their sons and daughters into the limelight just because they have their name
Bradley Walsh comes to mind with his completely bland son who has as much charisma as a worm now turns up co presenting Gladiators plus an acting part in casualty when he really has little acting ability ( or at least if he has it s so far hidden) all on his Dads shirt tails When they may well be a young kid whose a great personality or actor but never gets a chance

Yes Millie and they all have their celeb mates on their shows promoting each others books.

Kate
Sorry crossed posts.

We think the same!

I agree and ...everyone is writing a book these days or putting their name to one.

Then they are everywhere plugging the book they may or may not have written.

We never buy newspapers except for a Saturday one. It is The Daily Mail as it's got the best TV guide. DH went to get it this morning and he said he had to go through them as people had stolen the guides and left the paper.
One of my bugbears with celebs is the amount of them who have written books. I don't mean autobiographies, but story books, novels, children's books. A female celeb has a baby and she writes a book about parenthood. It gets published. I often wonder about struggling writers who can't get their books published seeing all these books. Yes, I know it's all about making money for the publishers but still.

Buy a decent newspaper and if it carries a story about a celebrity turn the page.

I know exactly what you're saying! On the corner pop-ups on my laptop 7 days a week it says things like ''such&such is PREGNANT'' ''So&so SPLIT'' ''Such&so break silence on THAT kiss'' etc. etc. Not forgetting Amanda Holden and Liz Hurley and others who have no idea what clothes wearing is!

Then there's that plastic looking mannequin Taylor Swift banging out songs slagging off her ex's.

The Beckham's only have to blink and it's all over everywhere for weeks! I have nothing at all against David and Victoria, they're actually lovely people, but I don't want to know the ins and outs of their lives!

Hairy and Migraine ... I mean Harry and Meghan and their never-ending brain-numbingly boring tantrums.

I want to read about REAL celebrities who do good, such as actor tough man Michael Madsen who does charities for kids with terminal illnesses, Keanu Reeves and Alec Baldwin who campaigns for animal rights, Miriam Margolyes and so on.

Elless You will have to pardon my ignorance, but, what is a nepo baby please?

I don't know either
who is Matt Healy and all these other people also?

I'd never heard of him so I just googled.

Has he lost his hairbrush? He needs some serious time at the barber's, something could be nesting in there.

like a kookaburra

That'd wake him up in the mornings 😁
Noisy creatures!

We used to get the DM 20 or more years ago, until t hey started double page spreads of so called c’lebs and their pets and how they looked like each other. What was that about.? This was followed by criticism of female c’lebs who had perhaps put weight on, or had cosmetic surgery….. or had broken up with someone no one had heard of, so less news and a lot more useless gossip.
So we changed to another newspaper.

Even the news on TV (especially ITV) always contains an item about some celeb or other, yes it was the ubiquitous Taylor Swift last week, and I find myself shouting "This is not news, I don't care!".

Then the announcer says "And, before Emmerdale, we go over to our reporter in ..... " or whatever. Why?
Emmerdale? Time to reach for the off button.

Rant over 😃
