Tommy Tiernan, especially with all the recent gushing, adulation and relentless press he’s getting for that piss poor tv show he’s presenting.

Also, James Nesbitt.

Hector makes me want to Vomit

Hector. Can never understand this drifting off into Irish, then back to English, oh wait on, he's back as gailge again. All rat a tat delivery, like a machine gun. I just turn off.

Repped on Will Smith, never takes risks in his choice of roles. If hes not in some formulatic special effects led actioneer its bland feelgood schmaltz like the Legend Of Baggar Vance or Hitch where he can flash his cheesy smile on the poster. You'll never see him playing an evil character. Hes so desperate to maintain his "brand".

When he started out, he actually did. He genuinely showed promise. There are episodes of Fresh Prince of Bell Air where you see him giving a genuinely intelligent, heartfelt performance.

Then he starred in the film Six Degrees of Separation, where he plays this gay conman, and he's legitimately great in it. (He's starring alongside some big name actors, so he upped his game.) He was only 24 when he made that film, but he's bringing his A-game.

But in 1995, he starred in Bad Boys. The following year, Independence Day, and the year after that, Men In Black.
Three years, three MASSIVE summer blockbusters. All of them made major money.

He did show he wanted to push himself as an actor during that time tho- he took a pay cut to be in Enemy of the state because Gene Hackman was in it. He hit the gym hard to bulk up and play Muhammad Ali in Ali in 2001, getting an Oscar nod for it.

But some time around then, and after Ali... he went for the money. I can't blame him, kinda, cos he had a family to look after. And he parlayed it into setting up his own studio.
But yeah- he's been playing the same character for decades.

Thought he was good in Pursuit of Happyness and Ali in fairness.

What annoys me about him i the fact he still thinks it's the 90s and he's still on the Fresh Prince.

His wife is another one. Apart from being a failed actor what ha she actually done to think he has an option on anything?

His wife is crazy. Like, genuinely crazy. I hate using the word 'cuck', but that's exactly what she did to Will-she cucked him. Remember her revealing she had an affair, on a podcast and being all like 'What am I like?'

(Though rumours are he had an affair with Margot Robbie on the set of Focus. I kind of believe it... their chemistry in interviews was... more than co-stars).

I thought they had a touch of the ol' Fizz when the two of them appeared on Top Gear that time.

Stephen Hendry. Great snooker player and a good commentator. Seems a decent fella. Just has a face that triggers my slapping reflex.

Plus they took selfies on the set (and I think took selfies on the set of Suicide Squad also).

Looked very cosy.

No because Tom is a decent actor but he went the way of blockbusters.

I find him oddly entertaining in things like Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow. And of course, the incredible Les Grossman. :pac:

i'm a bit of a fan of the cruiser myself. He is a lovely runner. I do get a bit of a bang of beard off his wives though and I get similar with Smith.

EmmetSpiceland · 11-05-2021 01:03PM

I’d like to hear from RabbleRouser2k before I make a “call” on Cruise.

The best thing to do with Laura Whitmore and anyone like her is ignore them. The less relevance they have to employers and advertisers, the sooner they fade away.

She's about to host Love Island so doubt the spotlight's going to fade any time soon. She seems to be universally disliked by the general public, a real "I dunno what it is but I can't take to her" type, and yet pushed into all sorts of high profile entertainment TV gigs in the industry. A bit of a head scratcher.

Even if they wanted to fire her from Love Island, they'd face a hard fight-her new husband (and father of her kid) is also the long-time narrator on the show.

I agree-whatever it is about her, she doesn't connect. Has all the warmth of an ice-cube tray. Everything she says or does feels fake and put on.

razorblunt · 13-05-2021 10:21AM

Maya Rudolph.

Never came across her before Bridesmaids, I think she's a poor actress, always seems to be smirking or about to break character.

Universally disliked? Maybe odd pockets & rabid Sun readers....but definitely nothing more than that I'm afraid

She has no empathy and doesn't really care about other people.

People watching can sense that.

Read up on the whole Niamh Walsh thing. She colossally messed up with that.

You had high profile papers such as the Washington Post coming to Walsh's defense.

Whit-less knows that the media can make or break you. The more you aggravate them, the more you're gonna be Public Enemy No 1.
Even the IRish media are being less and less kind to her, nowadays.
And she studied Journalism (which is all the more baffling that she tries to attack the media). She knows how fickle media can be.

I'm aware of her recent media dealings...it doesn't change the fact that she is not universally disliked.
As long as the general public still adore her, then that's all that matters to her employers...

THe reason she's getting such high profile jobs is simple. She's female and will start shouting from the roof tops is she doesn't get her way claiming it's sexit etc
