Chippy famous people

[bsand]

Les Dawson in the co-op at Blackpool 1896 looking miserable as sin and giving out intense leave me alone vibes.

[Salsaboy]

Gervais - smug faced no talent tosser.

Russell Brand - no talent tosser.

[bon3yard]

Van Morrison, surely the grand dame of taciturn grouchiness. De Niros up there but I suspect this is more a personality defecit than any real misanthropy.

[bon3yard]

A far from definitive list but still...and is that David Baddiel masquerading as J.Maskis?

So better not ask India Knight why she changed her name in her late teens (her own wasn't posh enough).

Colin Jackson ex athlete once gave me a bollocking in the loos at Heathrow when I thanked him for signing his autograph of his picture in the paper on a flight from Seville. He had just become world champion and I asked the hostess mid flight to take my paper to him and ask him to sign it. I didn't know she was going to wake him up.

Does that qualify as chippy or not?

yeah well....we all get days like that. How cheery are you in the co-op?

[bon3yard]

Great to see that old Les was still doing the rounds during the late great Queen Victorias reign.

Emily at Emilies Chippy.

[Jah Lush]

Paul Weller. Tetchy and aggressive, moody modfather.

[hellosailor]

Not chippy in the true sense (chip on the shoulder) but the people that I reckon come across worst in interviews are

Keith Allen

Kristin Scott Thomas

Ricky gervais (written)

Mick Hucknall (google his This Much I Know interview in the guardian from 2006, I still read it now to raise a smile if I'm a bit glum, works every time! )

[nashoi]

Damon Albarn and Ringo Starr, are the two worst I can think of.

[TillieTrotter]

Damien Hirst in the Groucho Club was a surly faced git although he did draw a shark sketch for my daughter's 16th birthday on the back of a Groucho envelope. I also told Dick or Dom (the blonde one) off for being a twat around the Groucho piano. Name dropping....me?

Wow! He really is a complete arse. I've had a horrendous day at work and reading that interview really made me chuckle! Big thanks!

I detest celebrity culture; it's like a disease. It serves no purpose but to make us feel unhappy with our lot.

I enjoyed reading the Mick Hucknall interview so thanks for posting Hellosailor. I admire his honesty. He had an interview where he refused to play by the rules and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm not saying I like him, or I agree with him, or I'd rush out and buy a CD; just saying that I admire the honesty.

This week Katie Holmes is divorcing Tom Cruise. Last week she was holding his hand in public and smiling. Everywhere you look there's a celebrity saying that their youthful good-looks are down to lots of yoga, water and good genes, when we can all see they've been under the knife and have a face-full of botox. It's all phoney. Utter bollox. So when someone (Mick Hucknall) suddenly interviews after taking a truth-serum it all seems rather shocking because it's not what we're used to.

Human behaviour is governed by a need to look good. Obviously not for Mick Hucknall. At least he's sincere.
