    I salute that man.

    Charlie Brooker is god, and has been for a long time.

    The parts that really bugged me about the article were the following ones though ..


    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    ".. I think if we are going to be honest, we would have to admit that the circumstances surrounding his death are more than a little sleazy.


    ".. Cowles and Gately took a young Bulgarian man back to their apartment. It is not disrespectful to assume that a game of canasta with 25-year-old Georgi Dochev was not what was on the cards. "

    Ah, f**k her .. she was just looking for attention and she got it.


    Poor Tara Palmer Tomkinson must feel terribly aggrieved this weekend alltogether. Jan Moir said this about her (concerning the photo below) on the same day and no one cares .. :D

    Tara's sheer audacity

    The dress code for Tatler magazine's 300th birthday celebrations was Very Tatler.

    Socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson chose to interpret this by wearing sheer lilac voile up top and boy-shorts down below, complete with matching curtains.

    Good grief!

    As blouses go, hers seems to have got up and gone.

    It is certainly much more yoo-hoo! than peek-a-boo, wouldn't you agree?

    Surely the only creature allowed to flash that much nipple in public is a nursing chihuahua?

    Tara, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you are too old for that look.

    In fact, everyone is too old for that look, unless you happen to be Timmy the Tranny, the hat-check personage down at the My-Oh-My supper club in Brighton.

    Scotland Yard investigate Gately complaint
    Sunday, 18 October 2009 15:45
    Scotland Yard has said that it has received a complaint about an article written by a newspaper columnist about the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately.

    Jan Moir's article, which was published in last Friday's British edition of the Daily Mail, questions whether Mr Gately died of natural causes.

    The article also prompted more than 1,000 complaints to the Press Complaints Commission.

    A spokesman for the PCC said most of the complaints relates to questions of accuracy, intrusion and discrimination.

    The lad has died, and there has been no "I was Stephens Secret Lover" chancers coming out of the woodwork to my knowledge.

    So Jan Moir decides to print **** thinking it will stick.

    Boy did she totally miss the Zone there.

    She trives on attention that one. She always writing some junk or other. Jade was always getting stick of her and hold yourself SS .. but she has slated Big Brother in the past as a pointless show that should be removed from the airwaves and feels it's viewers are not much better if I remember correctly.

    Mirror.co.uk article ..
    Tragic Stephen Gately’s closest celebrity pals staged one last knees-up in his memory at an emotional late-night meal.


    Gately’s Boyzone mates, plus their manager Louis Walsh, Elton John’s partner David Furnish, Westlife and Shayne Ward, sat up into the early hours singing songs and swapping tales.


    The grieving gang ordered bottles of vintage champagne and raised a glass to Stephen before tucking into gourmet food at the plush Four Seasons in Dublin.


    One onlooker revealed: “Ronan, Keith, Shane and Mikey arrived together after the funeral and looked down-hearted. The strain of the day had taken its toll.


    “But they decided Stephen deserved a good send-off so they picked themselves up and celebrated his life with some of his closest pals.


    “It was like a who’s who of the Irish pop world with the Westlife lads and Louis Walsh at the head of the table. Louis later put a card behind the bar and told everyone to drink whatever they wanted because it was on him.


    “It was great to see everyone with a smile on their face at the end of the night. They obviously got a lot of strength from being together.


    “At one point some of the lads were sitting in the corner of the room and they started singing ballads and then swapping funny stories about Stephen.


    “They have been through so much in the past week it was just great to see they found something to smile about.”


    The stars finally left around 2am and embraced each other before being whisked off in black cars.


    Yesterday, Stephen’s devastated husband Andy Cowles flew back home to London with the singer’s ashes.


    Stephen’s parents, Margaret and Martin, agreed that Andy, 32, could take them back to the flat they shared in London’s Highgate.

    Now I would tend to agree with her re this years BB.

    The Marcus Show was what it should have been called.

    But to stay on topic, I hope that there is a serious backlash re her article on Stephen as it was totally uncalled for.

    Someone (if you are listening and capable) take her wooden spoon and break it.:mad:

    Or for that matter .. pull on :p

    I just reread her "apology" article and can't believe she then said after everything:


    "It seems unlikely to me that what took place in the hours immediately preceding Gately's death - out all evening at a nightclub, taking illegal substances, bringing a stranger back to the flat, getting intimate with that stranger - did not have a bearing on his death".



    The more I read it - the more shocked I am. We know nothing of what they were doing. Just because they were Gay doesn't mean they couldn't be just watching Larry King eating toast and then just when to bed and as Stephen maybe fell asleep they just said 'ah, he looks comfortable .. sure let him sleep there' and threw a duvet over him.

    How anyone has the audacity to suggest anything else for no good reason other than to just get a little attention for herself and make sure her voice as a journalist is heard even though she has zero to really say is beyond me. If I was the editor I'd sack her.

    She has the right to say what she wants I believe but the Mail's readers also have a right to demand her head and demand it they should.

    May be more on topic than we think ;)

    Jan Moir writes for the Daily Mail. Would you expect anything better from that right wing rag?

    If only people could get so indignant, so angry, so roused by things worth getting worked up about.
    Not the Daily fcuking Mail.

    Spot on!! The amount of times myself or any one of my friends have had people (some who we know and sometimes people we have just met) round after a night out either to continue on the night with a little drinky or 4 or for a cup of tea and a slice of toast I couldn't even begin to add up. We didn't all end up in bed together but in Jan Moir's world any of my freinds who are gay must of ended up in bed together because what else could they possibly be doing!!!! The Straight people at a party though, well they just sit around and sing kumbaya till all hours!!

    Following on from another paper related thread I thought I'd post this, according to the report
    "The Boyzone mentor and X Factor judge pulls back, clenches his fists in frustration and makes no effort to share the embrace with an emotional Andy Cowles."

    This article is a load of BS, look at the images attached, they hugged and embraced twice, then walked off with louis putting his arm around Andy Cowles.

    SHOCK HORROR

    NEWS OF THE WORLD MAKES UP STORY


    :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Not being bad, but I didn't even know of Stephen Gately until he died.

    On that account, who cares what Louis Walsh does, or what the News of the World reports?

    News of the World story automatically = LIES.

    Who gives a ****... seriously

    He's buried now, can we go back to not caring?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Maybe the News of the World just don't know what the word 'embrace' means?
    They probably think it's a type of cigarette.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,391 ✭✭✭✭mikom


    I heard Louis forgot to turn his phone off in the church as well.......

    Jesus I'm sick of all this Gately muck.

    Was in The Babylon on Camden Street last weekend at around 3 am and the place was packed and the staff at the top of the que was painstakingly pointing out what was on the menu to some guy leaning on the counter with puzzlement as what he was hearing seemed to be very fancy and not at all what seemed to be after at all.

    He looked around at everyone but before his eyes could focus on us he looked back around and said "Have ya's any toast?" :)


    There is one thing to point out here that I'm not sure is being said.

    Even if Stephen & Andrew did bring Dochev back to smoke crack and go trough every single position from the Karma Sutra - that could never and should never be used as stick to beat other gay couples with.

    How could the behavior of one gay couple some how be used as evidence that gay people live a hedonistic lifestyle? Or that gay marriage is a nonsense as 'Look .. he's Gay, he OD'd on crack, ban Gay Marriages Now!'.

    Hellloooo! If that's the case then Kurt Cobain blowing his brains out should be an argument againist heterosexual marriages.
