No doubt lots of you have seen this, from Angry Mob:

Apparently this quote, which one might think shows a certain self-deprecating humour, is evidence she's a wrong un:

Quote:

But is there a clue in an interview she gave to Glamour magazine in 2009, in which she complained about being snapped looking less than-perfect while on holiday?

‘I have made the acquaintance of Darryn Lyons over the last year, the now famous Aussie paparazzi bloke,’ she said. ‘He was extolling the virtues of the set-up pap shot…

‘He gets the shot and the person in it looks like they want to look. How pathetic, I thought at the time. . . but never say never.

‘Put it this way: if you see me looking anything like flawless on a beach it will have been set up, a long time in the planning. . . and the subject of diligent airbrushing supervised by my good self.’

It's the end of the Christine Bleakley show as BBC tell her not to come back to work after her holidays

Quote:

I dont know what it is about this woman but I find her incredibly unlikeable - which is weird because I dont even know her. But her overtly desperate attempts at climbing up the career ladder plus her hard face is enough to make me turn over and sharpish. There's an air of determined desperation about her I think.

Have I missed her stabbing little bunnies live on air or something?

No loss. I'll be glad to see the back of her.

But you lot hate anyone who misbehaves and scream for their heads and your licence fees back. Just ask Ross and Brand.

Plus a whole load of snidey comments.

Bleakley is far less objectionable than Ross and Brand Cunts Incorporated.

The Mail's repeated digs at her successfully paying off, that is.

What is "determined desperation", anyway?

Someone out and about, maybe at work, who's got a stomach upset and has just farted and followed through; they would be described as having "determined desperation" to get to a toilet.

bizarre, she comes across as being really nice, i'd have thought she would be ideal "acceptable totty" for the mail, similar to myleen klass.

Today's Bleakley bashing from Richard Kay;

Eamonn ‘spitting feathers’ at Christine’s wedding no-show

If it's true it seems like a breakdown in communications that's all.

I thought the Mail obsession might have died a little when she joined ITV, especially as they seem to be gently getting ready for an attack on her One Show replacement who starts this week.

In todays Christine Bleakley exclusive, the Mail reprints pictures they've used before of her a) walking and b) sitting. The story is there because they feel the need to tell us of the possibility that she may move in with her other half.

Just to clarify, they're clear to mark Christine as just a "trainee" WAG. I assume that if she didn't work for the BBC, there would have been no training programme (or whatever she's undertaking) required.

Oh, and the house is quite expensive. Which is quite suprising as I don't think either of them make much money, with one only being a Premiership footballer and the other only being a well paid tv personality.

Because the article is basically a nonsense and so extremely light weight, Katie Nicholl (the "journalist") obviously had to delve into the story and really get to the heart of it. So she speaks to some people for quotes. Luckily she manages to get hold of "one source", "another source", "one source" and "a spokesman". Which is great and entirely useful. I wonder which of these sources were real and which were a) voices in her head or b) people sat around Katie in the GUM clinic whilst she scribbled down this story on her hand in double quick time before she forgot. These journalistic Eureka moment for story ideas can come at anytime don't you know.

To come full circle she also tells us that she's apparently spoken to friendS of Bleakley/Lampard who have insisted that actually Bleakley isn't moving in at all. So Katie Nicholl has either got some real quotes, or more likely made some quotes up, of people saying that her entire article is nonsense.

So, in summary: Christine Bleakley may or may not move in to a home with her other half.

front page, no less.

Adrian Chiles, I presume, is also part of these poor ratings.

Odd.

Didn't realise the wives of former prime ministers couldn't trade on ebay now :roll:

Tubby Isaacs · **Posted:** Thu Oct 28, 2010 8:45 pm

I hadn't noticed that. Are they allowed to go to car boot sales?

If this were someone they liked it would show how down to earth they were.

A copy of that link to the Mail v Cherie Blair thread,pls, Mr Mordon.

Don't you realise that, in the eyes of the Mail, Cherie Blair has no human rights?
