Chippy famous people

[????]

Will Young, never heard an interview with him that he dosesn't come over as spikey and chippy...maybe he's uncomfortable in the spotlight but jeeeez

Ricky Gervais....foook me that bloke's insecure (although I'm a huge fan).

Come on everyone, chance for us no marks to have a pop at those more talented, rich and famous than us. Fill ya boots.

That fit Henry VIII fella - Tom Hardy. Whoa momma, to look at. Dear god, to listen to.

Although I quite like Will Young - get him on Graham Norton or Question Time and he's fine (even the now defunct Something for the Weekend). God I'm middle aged.

Russell Brand - complete and utter prat. Everytime I see his face I want to punch it.

[woodrot]

I have yet to work out why Annie Lennox gets such respect and gongs from the Queen

[jumpinjackflash]

I think she does a lot for AIDS & HIV awareness.

[steveo]

Never seen it but I bet that Alan Hansen could turn especially if the forty grand words were uttered

[Chippy Minton]

Minton (sorry!)

[Barry Road Barbers]

Did sound and lighting for Paddy Reilly about 21 yrs ago...RUDE MAN. Joanna Lumley is one of the nicest people i have ever met. Timthoy Spall is lovely, just like he is on telly. Micky Flanagan is a diamond geezer. Rod Stewart was rude until i got him drunk and tamed him down a bit.(drunk with my money)

['bout now]

Paul Daniels

Yes Woodrot, I witnessed Grannie Lennox tearing into a roadie at the Marquee, when she was a pre Eurythmic Tourist. She was yelling at him in three octaves.

The poor bastid must have needed the work because she needed chinning

Michael "Parky" Parkinson. On telly for decades reading prepared questions off a clipboard to actors with something to sell; lengthy dial-it-in career as a columnist for the Telegraph; nestled firmly in the bosom of the establishment, never out of a box at Lords or Wimbledon, but is somehow riddled with "in my dayism" and the sense that unspecified powers-that-be are forever not appreciative enough of his special brand of greatness. Chippy.

PS RosieH - Is it not that Jonathan Rhys Thingy who was Henry VIII. Tom Hardy was Dudley from off of the Virgin Queen. Only I need to know which one is chippy? Or perhaps both?

[Alan Medic]

I get the gist but I don't really know what 'chippy' means. I thought it was a carpenter! The Urban dictionary wasn't much help. Can anyone oblige?

I've never come across people who hated someone they worked with more, than those at West Ham Utd FC who despised Karren Brady. My own observations were that given her 'business woman' image, she wasn't very clever in not realishing that her corporate sales team (probably through fear) were most likely hitting their targets with imaginary sales which would be credited off when things wouldn't be noticed.

[MrBen]

Axl Rose.

[jumpinjackflash]

Graham Norton goes to my gym and he seems like a right miserable git.

[David A]

Belligerent, AM.

And/or Welsh.

Think Craig Bellamy or Gavin Henson.

At first I thought the thread was about famous people in a chippy and it made me think of the time I ran into a pretty chubby Daniel Bedingfield coming out of Efes kebab shop on West Norwood High Street carrying two large doners.

I asked him if he was 'Gonna get through those' and he told me to f*ck off.

But, Daniel Craig. Great Bond, but always comes across as a prize tit in interviews.

Oh my god, you're right, Ted. Thank heavens for you. Dudley I meant, yes. Not Henry - Jonathan Rhys Whatnot gets right on my tits, stealing a living all over the show. No idea if he's chippy, but lovely lovely Dudley is. And annoyingly sixth form about being a bit "deep" too. If only I were still 14...

[RosieH]

Oh and TM, isn't Parky always carping on about how people don't know how to conduct an interview any more? Bah, give me Wogan any day.

[Ted Max]

I think Quids is anti-Twitter, but one useful purpose it serves is that it is quite good at exposing celeb chippiness. Am not talking about understandable reactions to outright abuse, but those who are clearly unused to ever being disagreed with or challenged, especially by the little people.

Alan Sugar, although Twitter was hardly required to illustrate his incapacity to think outside of a bubble extending 6 inches from his own person, would be a prime example.

But the Grace Dent/ India Knight/ Emma Freud circle is pretty good at it too - drawing up the wagons at the slightest sign of dissension from the virtual group hug.

[Ted Max]

Yes, RosieH, Parky's never giving it the rest on the lost art of interviewing, ignoring his own hopelessness in the face of anything other than a willing act with a hatful of anecdotes. Ask Mitchum or Ryan about his interview technique.

He's had about 25 seasons, on two channels, to show us his versatility.

"You share/don't share my working clas background"

"You like the shagging, tell us about the shagging"

"Share the anecdote of the time Garbo knocked on your hotel door"

etc...

[steveo]

Giles Coren. All he inherited was the name

[RosieH]

Ooh, or the Meg Ryan interview, when he was a proper arsehole.

Pity it wasn't him Grace Jones clobbered. Hmm, wonder, does that class HER as chippy?

[maxxi]

Re quids' original nominee - any reality talent-show winner who (secretly) realises they're lucky to be where they are and is scared they will be found out and so becomes fractiously pompous about their 'art' and 'persona' - (Will Young, Cheryl Cole, etc... etc...)

Any old comic who hasn't had the 'We-Love-Ronnie-Corbett' makeover (Tarby, Davidson, etc.)

...and of course that little Granty chap - all floppy hair and s-s-stuttery charm, my arse.

[woodrot]

Where to start ?

Tony parsons / Allison fucking Pearson / Martin amis / anyone who have to front to appear as a guest on BBC Breakfast at the 0845 gravyard slot to publise their latest hapless tour/release/PA, The talent free Richard E. Grant ( "he can speak Swahili you know" - oh do fuck off ),Everyone who has ever appear on the culture show, Tom Fucking Stoppard, Tracey bastard Emin the dull as dishwater acceptable face of shit self centred art for the chattering classes... you want more ?

[steveo]

Yes

[Mick Mac]

Gavin from Gavin and Stacey, what a tw t.

Took a photo of him on my phone at a gig once and he came right over and started mouthing off. Then he realised he was being a tw t and began being overly nice.... but I was very surprised at his first reaction.
