Replays on highlights videos. No call for them unless it's something exceptional and certainly no need to replay every single highlight.

It's probably bad enough that looking after your mother is seen as an exceptional event, but that coupled with having to publicise it is even worse.

Fair play to him. On the other hand you have money grabbing idiots in the same profession gambling and snorting away their wages.

I f**king agree with that. Add in the almost daily headline "you won't believe what [insert celebrities] did for this dying 12-yr old." I've no problem with the action in itself but we don't need the constant portrayal of minor celebs as fcking Mother Teresa.

And don't reply telling me that worthy actions or good deeds deserve praise in the press. Would your precious celebrities stop carrying out these charitable actions if there was a blanket ban on media coverage of them happening? and if so what does that really say about the morality of today's "heroes".

Thank you for that considerate and realistic appraisal of today's footballers. I was really worried you were gonna paint a black and white image of footballers as greedy, coke addicted wasters or granny loving angels but you didn't.

People saying sentences back to front. Instead of "it is very busy today" they say "very busy today it is".

Although not a celebrity, there was some attention-starved dickwad on facebook videoing himself approaching homeless people on the street handing them easter eggs, complete with soppy music edited in. I never felt like throttling someone so much in my life.

That Jones fella? He's a w**ker. He normally makes a p***k of him by overstepping the mark and then comes out with this shit a few days later.

Yeah the same boy i think, did you see him run away when threatened by the Irish guy in the car? He apparently had a gun pulled on him in America too. He will overstep the mark some day yet.
