the topic of FAMOUS PEOPLE - WEIRD and/or WONDERFUL!

[Soph K]

Hiya,

I just thought there ought to be a thread about Famous People - from popstars to comedians and scientists to actors, weird to wonderful... Basically to discuss gossip or just overall famous people.

Discuss!

Soph.

[Gavin Chipper]

Damon Hill

[Thomas Carey]

There's this one person who is awesome but I can never remember who it is, so I'll just say a random one:

Johannes Diderik van der Waals

[Soph K]

Damon Hill

who on earth is that

[Soph K]

Johannes Diderik van der Waals

and who on earth is that

[Gavin Chipper]

Damon Hill

who on earth is that

Only the single most famous person in the world.

[Soph K]

tell me if you like or dislike the following say 'dislike' if you dont like them and say 'like' if you like them and say 'middle' if youre not too keen on them but theyre alright. you can also put a comment of them (take no notice of their job - do you like their personality?):

HARRY HILL (my opinion: like - very funny, just the way a comedian should be really)
NOEL EDMONDS (my opinion: dislike - cocky and occasionally nasty)
JAMIE OLIVER (my opinion: middle)
PADDY MCGUINNESS (my opinion: middle - tries to be funny but hes not, hes just random)
STEPHEN FRY (my opinion: middle)
LEONA LEWIS (my opinion: like)
SIMON COWELL (my opinion: middle - nice when praising someone but mean when criticising someone, although he can be right)

p.s. you lot, feel free to come up with one of these things yourself and post them here - by doing that, I know we'll come up with a random and funny conversation for some famous people!

Ever heard of Wikipedia? It's a thing where you can look up random people you don't know about.

Edit: I am deeply sorry about misplaced apostrophe and have corrected it now.

I have heard about Wikipedia but I didn't know you could look up people on it. Now I know. So I will.

[Eoin Monaghan]

Can't stand Harry Hill, the most unfunny man in the world.

I like Harry Hill and Stephen Fry is a legend and should be rightly acknowledged as supreme commander of the known universe and even some of the parts of the universe that are unknown but we can speculate about. The rest on your list may as well be ground up as dog meat so they could finally be considered useful, although I have a feeling even the dogs would rather eat their own faeces.

If there's not enough room for them all in the grinder i'll mind leona lewis while you make space.

Damon Hill

[Adam Gillard]

Probably not so famous but an absolute legend: Cliff Young (wiki) ((honestly, this is for real; not some fairytale))

[Marc Meakin]

Charlie Bronson (mind you he is more INfamous)

[Matt Morrison]

Quality comment. (even if I don't feel the same way)

I saw Leona the other day, she was looking down so I had to ask'why the long face?'

[George F. Jenkins]

The Term FAMOUS PEOPLE is the wrong description for the people mentioned in these posts . they will all be forgotten in a few years when new generations come along. Real famous people are remembered in history.

[Mark James]

Cheers for that Adam. What a legend (Cliff that is, not Adam, at least not yet).

I know almost all the men and some women would say HATE HER when I mention her, but who likes CHERYL COLE? She's cool, pretty, good songwriter, good singer... Now tell me, what's not to like about her?

[Liam Tiernan]

Can't stand Harry Hill, the most unfunny man in the world.

Seconded. Second most unfunny "comedian" in the world after Tommy Tiernan (no relation).

[Gavin Chipper]

She's really annoying, and wasn't she convicted of a racist attack a while back?

[Jon Corby]

Nah, she got off on the racially-aggravated charge, so it was just plain assault. A wholly unpleasant woman though. She's certainly no Kimberley Walsh

Kimberly Walsh went to my school once.

[Soph K]

Charlie Bronson (mind you he is more INfamous)

He probably IS infamous - I'VE NEVER EVER HEARD A WORD ABOUT HIM!

[Soph K]

It was in the news. You were probably 2 at the time so were too busy running round being mental to notice. But it's fine that when she beat someone up, she wasn't being racist. I don't watch X-Factor anyway, but when I catch bits of it, I normally end up wanting to kill most of the judging panel, including her.
