Is it just me?

[Ironside]

I don't actually watch Big Brother but it has been splashed all over the news on the last day or two.

I just can't understand how that Jade Goody has been so successful. I think she is nothing but a loudmouth moron. In fact, every time I see her, I feel like vomiting. She is absolutely disgusting in every aspect.

^:laugh: Its not just you!

Oh - no you're definitely NOT the only one. I think it's shocking that someone can become a celebrity because they are unbelieveably thick.

[Ironside]

Phew.... I was expecting some abuse but obviously there are other people who think the same way as me. If she had spoken to me the way she spoke to that gorgeous Indian girl, I would have lamped her there and then.

If you don't like it, stop reading magazines/newspapers that fuel this "celebrity" culture..

Also, to be physically disgusted by someone like that is just too harsh.

[Ironside]

Believe me, I wouldn't watch it, I don't read newspapers but when it comes on the BBC News at one o'clock it is a little difficult to miss.

As for the other comments, they were only really a figure of speech. However, it was probably the politest way I could describe how I feel about her.

Fair enough. I agree, people shouldn't become celebs over nothing. But the gutter press and the fools that buy it are the only ones to blame. I don't think we should blame Jade for simply taking up an oppurtunity.

I would have to agree that anyone would take up the opportunity to make as much money as she has made. However, she does act appallingly and she has to expect and accept that people are going to criticise her. What really amazes me is these celebrities go into Big Brother knowing full well that millions of people are going to be watching and judging them and they still make complete fools out themselves, what is wrong with them? They deserve everything they get as far as I'm concerned.

From what I've heard, Leo Sayer didn't do himself any favours but I suppose he will still sell records from it, that's the only reason he was in there, flagging career, could do with a few more pennies in his pocket. I don't believe for one minute they do it just for their charity.

I don't understand how Jade has become so successful either.. i know she has a lot of merchandise but who buys it? like who is her target audience? and as for her apperance and attitude.. not a fan. In fact her attitude puts me on edge.. i don't know how far she is going to take it the next time.. uncomfortable viewing.

[Ironside]

Someone is obviously buying it. But, I can't quite understand how she could come across as anything but stupid to anyone. I often hear people saying that she is a very shrewd businesswoman, if that's the case, why doesn't she show it sometimes and then she might not get so much stick. And get a bloody interpreter, that voice just gets to me.

I agree too, Jade should not be getting blamed for trying to make some money for herself and her family.

I do find it pretty odd that she managed to turn things around from being vilified up until the last couple of weeks of bb3 to being a multi millionaire.It's about time we stopped rewarding the stupid and untalented.

I don't blame her for making the money from it but it's really the silly magazines that should stop giving her so much attention for doing naff all.

I posted this in another thread


I'm not a Jade fan and without BB we wouldnt know who the hell she was but she has done the best, monatry wise than any other UK BB contestant.

Now that maybe down to great PR, management and of course tip offs to the press on where and when a good pap shot can be taken of her.

She manipulates the media and I think thats wrong.

Personally I dont buy Heat, Hello, OK! etc etc because frankly there rubbish and full of celebs pouting and posing in houses that most of the time arent even theirs.

But these magazines have made her into what she is today....... was it 25th or 17th influential person in the world???? What poppycock! She cant even say influential let alone be a good role model! I bet most people in that poll dont even care and would be embarrased to admit it because it doenst matter, but Jade laps it up and doesnt have a problem with announcing it to all and sundry.

So does she derserve her status?????? What has she done to derserve it????

Cant think of a single thing really
