    Has Imelda lost a bit of her Dublin accent?

    Maybe. I don't blame her, people could be quite mean about it!

    They must've run out of ideas for the intro.
    Don't seem to bother with it anymore.

    Enjoyable show tonight.
    Great storytelling.

    Poor old Sporty:D If that was live, then she's actually not a bad singer.

    Never seen or heard of Keith Urbam before tonight.

    Besides Salma and her 2 biggest hits, I could leave the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,004 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Walliams can certainly act the clown on these type of shows but I find he's always entertaining.

    Salam Hayek is just brilliant already. Five minutes in and she's stealing the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,745 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Best episode he's had in a long time. Hayek has stolen the show. Although Payne comes across as a bit of an ass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,004 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    I now know who Liam Payne is and how he met the mother of his child.

    Which I think is very weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,968 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Imagine if Liam Payne was a 14 year old girl and Cherly Cole a 23 year old man, there isn't a hope in hell they would have shown that clip

    Ed is so hot, wish he and James were on from the start


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,005 ✭✭✭pilly


    Anyone else think David Walliams was a big let down?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,695 ✭✭✭gizmo81


    Jaysus Efron and your wan going on about Cruise. At least Norton cuts through the love-in a bit.

    The way his co-stars constantly slobber over him on chat shows always makes me think its some contractual thing, or some other influence he has over them...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,695 ✭✭✭gizmo81


    Definitely it's nauseating!

    I lasted 15 minutes. I just couldn't sit through it any more. That Effron fella has gotta be a Scientologist. He couldn't have been any more cemented up his arse.

    Same, couldn't stick the show, had to turn it off.

    In other news lol at your user name 😂

    It's always heavily stage managed when Cruise is on. Beth Ditto was the highlight of the night, should have had her on from the start.

    Normally Cruise does his interviews on his own. I'm guessing that last night's people were classed as 'safe' for him to be with. I'd say there's a big rule on not mentioning scientology etc. Found it incredibly dull, knew it was gonna be terrible as soon as I saw he would be with the other guests for entire show. Such arselicking.

    Any other actor sitting on a chatshow couch with the likes of Tom Cruise will not be able to relax. It isn't because he is Tom Cruise, it is because he is a top level Hollywood power-player; he can make your career or break it. Others in the same league would be Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino(casting only).
    Maybe Robert De Niro or Robert Redford too or Meryl Streep for the actesses who want to be taken seriously.

    I thought Graham was excellent and very witty in spite of the awkward dynamic there.

    Beth Ditto left a good impression and if the objective was to get punters for any gigs she is playing in coming months then she totally succeeded.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,037 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Betty Ditto is like a funny Rebel Wilson.

    I'm not so sure he is anymore. He's fired a few real howlers across the media down the years. He still gets parts because he is still a draw, though not nearly as big a draw as he was. Beyond that, I suspect his clout in Hollywood is minimal. Certainly compared to other stars at his level of fame.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Cruise/Wagner are the big kahunas in Hollywood.
