Minor Irish Celebrities who need to stay visible

Bellerstring · 18-12-2018 03:24PM #1

I wanted to see if anybody out there is aware of the constant publicity that some Irish celebs need, and seemingly spend a huge amount of time generating, with their friends in the press.

I'm particularly referring to Kathryn Thomas.
She seems to be in articles every second day with
non-stories about her baby's first Xmas, photos of her baby beside the Xmas tree, how her home used to be "party central" at Xmas, but this year is going to be a quiet family thing, about how she doesn't give a sh1t about turning 40, about how she's full steam ahead for her wedding next year...
Jesus, enough already.
This constant publicity actually makes me hate this woman.
I swear, I don't seek out these stories, they're constantly appearing in my news feed.
Anybody else with similar experiences..?

Mconor. Jesus I abhor that man.

His face is everywhere.

Anna Geary. Good god.

Bressie.

He's waiting patiently for the next bandwagon

Vogue Williams. The indo seem to write an article on her every time she has a bowel movement.

Angela Scanlon, radiates smugness from every pore.

Kathryn Thomas used be fine when she presented No Fronttears but ever since all she does is yells and shouts like and angry school teacher!

You're dead right. I had the misfortune of attending a charity do where he was the MC. Pinochio was less wooden

Couldn’t agree with you more, sick to **** looking at and listening to her all over the place

freshpopcorn · 18-12-2018 04:25PM

Those Garrihy sisters especially the one who's appeared on the scene lately doing impressions. Which aren't any way similar.

vicwatson · 18-12-2018 04:26PM

Eoin McDermott - resorts to calling for a ban on fairytale of New York, a nobody wanting to be a somebody

I thought it was just me, she's like the new Twink or that other dopey one Brunker that won Miss Ireland in about 1922.

Kathryn Thomas was never fine..

Jedward must be running low on funds of late. They've been searching 'Jedward' and DM'ing anyone who has tweeted about them to create a Jedward Renaissance of sorts

What would happen to these people if everyone in society decided to just ignore them? Do you think they could reintegrate into society and do normal Jobs? Or would they just slowly become less and less like a solid substance and vanish into the nothingness of which they spout and live by?

Who? I presume you got caught by autocorrect but I can’t think who you mean, possibly Mc Gregor?

James Brown · 18-12-2018 04:52PM

I remember in the run up to one Christmas the Sunday Indo did a full two page spread on a Christmas dinner party consisting of people only famous for being in the Sunday Indo. Various names you'd only know from society/gossip columns written in the indo. There was about eight of them and it was their insights on current events and photos of them around a big dinning table. I remember genuinely not knowing anything about them other than they appeared in the Sunday indo from time to time having been out for a night or dating some other no mark. I suppose it's like Hotpress. Every few years theres a new shower the paper promotes for some reason, certainly not talent.

It takes two to tango. You could also point your finger at the media whether print, broadcast or social and their insatiable appetite for cheap & easy copy. The sort of light & fluffy stuff that's easy to churn out and easy for most people to glance over in the hairdressers or wherever. Fills up the pages.

These 'celebs' are just part of the media food chain and you're the customer/ consumer.

I suppose I was a teenage lad and found her kind of hot on the beach in some foreign country.

As long as I don't have to ever ever ever ever see or hear of Al Porter again, I'll be happy.

I hadn't heard anything about him for months until you mentioned him.

AndyBoBandy · 18-12-2018 06:02PM

Do I recall seeing endless stories a few years ago from/about Katheryn Thomas about how she finally found love etc... and was singing from the rooftops about how happy she was. But then when she broke up with DreamLover she wanted her privacy respected? Was he a Garda or something?

We could also really do with another batsh1t crazy Danny Healy-Rae story about now!! It seems like an eternity since we heard from our man in the fairy circle!!

Are you sure that was Kathryn Thomas? Sounds a bit like auto pilot.

Gerry Ryan's children.

All of them.

They are seriously woeful - I saw a couple and it was about the standard you'd get in the average secondary school - but instead of an impression of that wagon of a geography teacher, it's Noirin O'Sullivan.

Just... awful, awful stuff.

Norah Casey

In recent years she has become a regular ‘misery slot’ celebrity due to her never ending catalogue of sad stories. No matter what you have experienced in your life you can be sure Norah has experienced it too. I reach for the remote as soon as she’s introduced as a guest on TV/Radio.
