    I'm showing my age here, but I presume you meant Noddy Holder of Slade.

    Nobby Stiles was a member of England's winning World Cup team in 1966.

    Arghh,your right.I always have their names mixed up In my head.

    Can't believe nobody has said Michael Jackson yet.

    His case is a bit of a strange one.He still seems to be hugely popular despite the allegations and rumours that have been floating about.But he did his legacy no favours with the plastic surgery and all round weirdness.

    Id say a lot of people feel/felt sorry for him more than anything else.

    And you still hear his music on the radio unlike Gary Glitter.

    The guy who played Pee Wee Herman,Paul Reubens.He did a lot of successfull films with that character and a TV series but then he was arrested masturbating in a cinema and that pretty much ended that.There was something else to do with child porn a few years later though charges were dropped.

    He's done a lot of voice work recently. Probably one of the few people to end up having their career smashed twice, as he was starting to do some movie work again when the second charges occured.

    The Thick Of It star Chris Langham.He was just after winning two Baftas in that show when he was arrested for downloading child porn.Long acclaimed career in comedy finished.Hes done a few interviews since he was released saying how he regrets what hes done etc but hes never going to get back to where he was.

    Charley Sheen,where do you start?Its not like he had a great reputation to begin with I suppose but messing up the Two And A Half Men gig was the last straw.You'd wish he'd sort out his problems and make a Robert Downey Junior type comeback but I doubt hes smart enough.

    I never picked up on anything creepy from Bill Roache, but put it like this, he has been on the soap since he was 28. He is now nearly 83. He said in an interview that for most of his life he has had women come up to him and offer him sex or anything he wanted. He doesn't say so, but that has to have an effect on someone.

    Rolf Harris... I don't know what to think. He was found guilty and he is serving his time, but I think if the allegations had been made against him before the Jimmy Saville thing, the outcome would have been quite different.

    Bill Cosby Im not really going to comment on. He's not been convicted of anything and going on Dr Phil is not the way anyone should make an accusation of this type.

    Hulk Hogan and to an extent Mel Gibson are two completely different kettles of fish though. Hulk Hogan, didnt rape anyone, or abuse them or drug anyone. He just went on a bit of a rant. His treatment is hardly proportionate is it?



    No. There are accusations from, at this point approximately 50 women against him.

    Mel Gibson said some mean things about his masters and his career is finished. Meanwhile Roman Polanski and Woody Allen are highly acclaimed director. Shows how sick the entertainment business is and how being a member of the tribe gives you free reign.

    Very small fall she has had. Still does well for herself, constantly on TV/magazines and seems quite liked

    Yeah he diden't do himself any favours there at all.There was that thing as well a couple of years ago when he called a female photographer a c**t at a show in Killarney.His main problem though is that he hasn't been funny in about thirty years.

    He is filthy rich, he has no need to work. Besides, is show after Two and a Half Men, Anger Management only finished airing in the US in December. Not like he is a pariah!

    If and when he wants to work he will. As I said, he is hugely popular, he went from starring in the biggest sitcom on TV to another starring role (after he went nuts as you put it) which broke records and did 100 episodes

    I'm delighted he is gone and so are the majority of football fans I would come in contact with, he was absolutely headwrecking! Couldn't give a toss about his personal views on things, related to football or not. He was great years and years and years ago before he disappeared up his own arse

    Heather Mills,you could argue that splitting up with someone as revered as Paul Mccartney is bound to draw vitrol but the public hatred of her is harldly unjustified.She seems to be a compulsive liar with loads of embelishments about her early life and supposed charitable work that have been proved to be BS.Being engaged to or being the mistress of various slimeball oligarch types in her twenties,appearing in porno mags and generally coming across as very untrustworthy and insincere.
