Smug irish celebs

Gerald Keane.

How could anyone refer to themselves as a "celebrity lawyer" and be so desperate to hand around with people because they are famous? If they were interesting fair enough, but just being palsy with people so you can name drop.

Could my "comment" not have been a genuine question?
The title of the thread is Smug irish celebs. I am equally as entitled to wonder why someone would bother letting said "smug celebrities" annoy them as the OP is to post their rant.

Am I to take it that if I can't understand the motivation behind something I should keep schtum rather than wondering why? I'm actually genuinely interested in why people get worked up about people they don't know.

As far as I can see, there was nothing wrong with asking a question regarding the original subject matter. It was in no way off topic, and if the only way to contribute to a thread in your opinion is to agree with everything that has been said up to that point that strikes me as more than a bit silly.

No no no no! It's not about being annoyed by tosser celebs. It's about slagging the sh1t out of them. If you didn't bitch about them they'd get a free ride and become even more knobby. It's all about keeping them grounded.

Never mind the Buzzcocks is one example. It ridicules certain celebrities. Keeps them on their toes. Deconstructs a lot of what the so called celebs have done in terms of promoting their images, (usually naff and shameful like "celebrity" reality shows)

It's just fun to do it, when they are in your faces, without you asking them to be

I don't mind celebs with talent who are not always in your face, ie always in the papers, but these people are gimps

God I love this thread. What about Bill Cullen? If that cnut was made of chocolate he'd eat himself

I remember he was on the Late Late Show a number of years backs saying 'that when he gets up in the morning, he looks in the mirror and says to himself how great he is'

My Dad new him years ago when he worked in Walden Motors and thought he owned the place...a muppet of the highest order

The bill cullen is a good one. The missus was coming home from london a few years ago and he was on the plane sitting across from her. She was reading the vip and there was an interview with him telling all how he doesn't need sleep and can get by on 2-3 hours a night. The plane was barely of the runway and he was unconscious with jackie asleep beside him. The missus nearly burst her sides laughing at the article while looking at big bill flat out across from her!!

I suppose my issue is I have no idea who half the people mentioned in this thread are, so I can't see how they're celebrities, never mind smug ones. I don't know why they wind people up so much.

I recently returned to Ireland after a year abroad.

Man what I saw on TV and the papers was so lame.

On the on hand nothing ever changed with the likes of the Sunday world. Paul Williams writing rubbish about a bunch of knackers dealing drugs and and shooting each other. Yaaaaawn! Seriously who cares. It's actually depressing looking at that ****. There's that element in every city in the world but I really think Ireland focuses on it way to much.

Then you have those absolute Muppets on TV3 type programmes, nouveau Ritchie women/men bull****ting on about perfume and shopping in boutiques in the powerscourt shopping centre. Was watching these clowns on couches spew verbal diarrhea all over Christmas. Seriously, can we not have something a little bit more intelligent on the TV?

Then of course there was "Ireland's richest celebrates!!!11" Like...wtf seriously...it's kind of funny

Sorry but if you read those types of papers and watch the trash on telly that they generally appear on, then you're just as much of a gimp. The reason that there are so many of these talentless 'celebrities' who offer little or nothing to the planet is because there is a market for them. Mostly made of bitchy little retards who, while they can't stop lapping them up, love to put them down on internet forums.

I know it's a cliche at this stage but... get a life.

I don't buy these rags or read them. I see them on the front of papers and magazines, and when I'm flicking through channels. What can you do?

Gavin Lambe Murphy. GAP. Annoying. Arrogant. Simple. Immature. Half-witted. Ponce.

QFT!
I won't even bother listing them as there are so many of them but basically anyone who gave their views on that richest celebrities show on TV3 shown TWICE in the last week. Ugh.

Anyone in the first few pages of the Daily Mail's Sunday magazine, I have no clue who they are but look as smug as cats.

Sorry, I don't read those kinds of papers or watch that trash on telly but the smug celebs are still there. The "celebs" that you say are talentless are indeed that but that doesn't make people "bitchy little retards" for having an interest in them - I don't - some people do.

Even normal tv shows are hijacked by the talentless people. Watching a program over xmas about why people get violent/angry and they show a clip of Jamiroquai attacking a photographer. Trying to be the voice of reason the person hosting the show explains about invasion of privacy etc. Suddenly Calum Best appears on screen with the word "celebrity" under his name to give his views on violence with invasion of privacy. Yes his oul lad was one of the greatest players to ever kick a ball but to have no talent and rely on "celebrity" to enter you into that world is pathetic.

Ricky gervais was asked by a reporter "what advice would you give to someone who wants to become famous?" He replied "kill a prostitute!!"

Green Hornet · 30-12-2008 08:24PM

That bloody Amanda Brunker drives me mad along with that Fiona Looney one. Always on about their bloody kids. I couldn't give a damn about their kids and they are bound to be spoiled little brats. The Looney one was on about her kids picking up their poo in their hands on the radio once, as all kids do in her opinion! What the hell?????:eek:

Craig doyle must be the smuggest irish male ever - big head on him when he's knocking around doing the top irish millionaires - nearly stuck up some of their ar5es. Ronan keating has to get an honourable mention as well.

Female number one has to be Lorraine keane - yer one of expose. You'd swear her sh1t doesn't smell. Recently interviewed about her christmas plans she says she goes to the house in france with the kids and hubby. They go to midnight mass and it's amazing cause they say the mass in french!! No Sh1t Sherlock - mass in france and they say it in french - what next!! Her 4 year old translates it for her as her french is amazing - yeah sure it is!!

Anyone care to rival these smug Irish "celebs"!!

Someone with a big chip on their shoulder there! Are you jealous perhaps? Her 4 year old sounds very clever to me! I wish I knew French at that age. If someone you know has a bigger car or house than you then do you get annoyed? I would call you a FIRST CLASS BEGRUDGER!! Live and let live is what I say and try to get over your small-mindedness.

No chips here my friend - just hate the bullsh1t that comes from these smug celebs. Yeah course i'm jealous of a 4 year old who holidays in france and can translate an entire mass for her mother!! My young one is 3 and is only fluent in german, polish and chinese!!;)

I know loads of people with bigger houses and cars and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. My brother in law for instance - he's building a 22,000sq ft house, drives a porsche 911 and an X5 - does it bother me? -not in the slightest. Why would anything that someone has bother you? I've got good health, a nice home home, a good family and good friends.

Live and let live surely, but lets cut out the smug bull5hit - oh when we met it was love at 1st sight and we can't live without each other as we're soulmates. 6 months later and they're doing another interview about how the marriage broke up due to severe pressure and the fact they just fell out of love!! Feck Off!!

great to see good ol' irish begrudery is still alive and well :rolleyes:

personally i think that tv3 morning ireland presenter > mark cagney deserves to be called a smug git, he's forever putting down his co-presenters, anyone else notice that??

You just don't get it, do you?

Here is a list of famous people, that have several bigger car and houses than everyone else, and get laid with the hottest girls on the planent, and it's still difficult to hate them...

Johnny Depp
Matt Damon
Al Pachino
Jack Niclson
Jake Gyleenhall
Jimmy Page, nearly any other musician from a decent band

etc....etc...

Why don't we bitch about these? Because these guys have talent and aren't on some pathetic agenda to further their worthless career by giving lame interviews name dropping and giving faux bull**** about..."omg going to france for xmas!!!11 oh and my kid is so amazing and cultured" News flash b1tch. No one gives a sh1t about your stupid little sprog!

It contributes nothing to society, it brainless and vacuous

One of the funnies things I read was an interview with Ronan Keating in a news paper.

Now I wasn't reading it but just happend to see Thom Yorke's name, so I read the question. It was like

Q. So is there anyone in the music industry you don't like.

RK. Well a few years ago I saw Thom Yorke in a Dublin hotel and went up to say hello. He completely blanked me. I just thought "what an asshole" I love his music but the guy's a pratt.

I was like...LOL

What was he hoping to achieve? Did he expect Thom Yorke to start hanging round with him or some sh1t?

I remember when she was on the Panel and wouldnt say much for most of the show. Then she'd come out with a joke which she obviously wrote 20 minutes before and would be the only one to laugh at it.

Hadnt thought of that,I'll start ringing him from tomorrow onwards.Thanks for the heads up.

Slightly off the point,but that Ronan Keating quote reminds me of another classic line from another waste of space.Miss Mariah Carey came out with this peach a couple of years ago probably before her handlers dragged her off and gave her another handful of Xanax to shut her up and keep the shares in carey inc from bottoming out:

"Whenever I see those poor starving kids all over the world, I cry. I'd love to be skinny like that,but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
