Sick of celebrities

It’s the trout pouts which I can’t stand. 🙄 Why do people want to look so plastic (not just the so called celebrities)? I suppose it’s the fault of the beauty industry. Makes you wonder what they’ll look like when they’re older! Big lips but sagging everywhere else! 😂

I do think the Daily Mail leads the way in celebrity articles. It's overwhelming now, with endless pictures of celebs in very revealing bikinis plastered all over the side ribbon and on a video screen so you can't get away from them! The most important thing on their home screen seems to be that they've found a picture of someone who looks good in a bikini and is flaunting her assets.

It's a shame because if you navigate away from the home page to the other tabs there are some very interesting articles, science, travel, health, technology, money. It's not all bad.

I haven't bought a newspaper for years. I catch the headlines from my phone and watch the 6o'clock news. Radio 4 has the most enlightening, interesting and informative programmes. BBC sounds and podcasts is where I keep up with what's going on in the world

Ps I haven't examined their teeth.

Totally fed up with this obsession with celeb culture! And then those from stupid non celeb reality shows become tv/radio presenters? Travel show presenters?
All fake teeth & tans ?
Where are the ‘real’ presenters?

It depends what travel shows you watch.

Michael Palin, Simon Reeve, Martin Clunes, Michael Portillo?

Although Michael does look as if he has a bit of a tan sometimes but it could be his Spanish heritage.

Pointless Celebrities BBC, who are they

As l once read, the title says it all. They are indeed pointless celebrities.

On the same vein, I hope, I get sick of very smug celebrities doing travel programmes, it's like 'look where I can be and you can't' because the TV programme pays for it!

I haven’t heard of the majority of so called ‘ celebrities ‘. So many of the reality tv show participants are quickly elevated to this level, not having done much to be celebrated. As for the
‘ influencers ‘. That’s another topic though.

Yes Jenny, I get a very disruptive ad from Jet2.com - only on GN. No idea why, or how to stop it. Hav3 never visited their website.

I find the cult of so called celebrities so tiresome.My husband hates them even more than I do. Why do we have to be bombarded by programmes with these people all the time.Most have very little talent, lead promiscuous lives and have been promoted well above their ability.I do not care about them and wish they and their so called dramas would disappear.

Does anyone on GN get a huge bright red 1/2 page where an ad should be? Im getting this all the time. It must be GN as it happens nowhere else

Don't read newspapers,never have....detest celeb culture and reality shows!

I'm not sure that's something to be proud of - the not reading newspapers part.

Many celebs have PR teams to keep them in the press and lazy journalists mop up their handouts. Celebs need to stay in the public eye to make money from endorsements, influencing and selling their records, t-shirts, memoires, etc. It's just business as usual, nothing personal. Failed politicians do it too.

If you have never read newspapers, do you follow what’s going on in the country and the world? If so, where do you get your information?

Celebrities are absolutely boring and irrelevant. It is hard to believe that people buy items on the strength of their endorsement. I avoid any papers or magazines with a celebrity focus and also chat shows where they are usually selling some awful book they haven't actually written themselves. This does not apply to those with a genuine talent who have something to say worth listening to.

Even The Times yesterday had Victoria Beckham plastered over the top of the front page.
I despair.

The Guardian is not to be left out 😂😂😂

I could go on (but I won't!)

New Scientist anyone?

The DM has been pushing their campaign on banning plastics since 2008. A victory for them today as the Govt have decided to do so in the autumn. Wet wipes being banned.

Saying you would never have the DM in your house is surely very snobbish and superior. Why not just say you don’t read it?

I just think we probably all feel like that about one publication or another.

I'm thoroughly fed up with "celebrities" doing travelogues around the country. What makes them so special that I need them to pass comment on a nice view, a walk through the countryside, a culinary tour on a weekend break. If they are chefs, fine, if not I'll make my own mind up.

I would never have the Daily Mail in my house. We take the Guardian and the I.

Blimey! I can’t believe I read that. How dreadfully snobbish.

I don’t know, is it more snobbish to say that than to say ‘I only ever read the Telegraph and the Mail’? It defines your beliefs, but I don’t think it’s actually snobbish.
