These days when your in entertainment, darling, you have to be 'really' good-looking just be considered passable.


This is, of course, in contrast to real life where it seems you only need, say, a relatively level mouth and eyes which aren't crossed in order to consider yourself God's Gift.


How many times have I sat behind distressingly repugnant boys on buses, hearing them declare eg Lily Allen to be 'ugly'. I I mean, have you looked in the mirror lately, mate?

That made me chuckle, we used to say butters when I was in secondary school (early/mid 90s), nice to hear it's still being used!

Butters is a reference to the Johnny Rotten Country Life butter advert.

Even Johnny's best friends wouldn't describe him as a handsome chap.

And also is it just me or does he emphasise the first syllable of the butter's title?

That's our Johnny, still bringing the system down pound by pound.

Sorry to contradict you AR, but I have it on the best authority from my homies that the Rotten connection is the one that is true.

Poor Lily, I think she's mighty purty and she has the shiniest hair.


My vote goes to Jarvis Cocker. Nine and a half stone wet through of pure filth.


But if I had to pick a pretty boy, I'm ashamed to say that Lee Meade (who I believe has now brought out an album and is officially therefore a pop star) made me come over all funny when I took my niece to see Joseph. More men should wear loin cloths.

Sorry to contradict you, but that saying was around long before the bug eyed Mr Lydon sold his soul to country life

I think she has dangerous looking eyes like her Dad; eyes like Jean Reno and Eddie Izzard. Difficult to explain really. Still, I used to babysit her you know. But only when she was a baby. Maybe that should have gone in the "Things you didn't know about forumites" topic. Oh well, it's out there now.
She got her record deals through hard work and word of MySpace. No, seriously. But I bet her Mum (film producer Alison Owen who produced Elizabeth and loads of others) and Dad Keith had something to do with it. Far too many famous kids of famous parents around at the moment!

Looks-wise, I think she makes a pretty good fist of what she's got.


Music wise, I think someone else makes a pretty good fist of what they get from her.


You're right about Dad though.

I guess it is unfair to call her plain actually - if I saw her in the street I'm sure I'd think she was pretty, it's just that Famousland has a higher set of standards.


Don't think her music's very interesting though and her continual presence in the papers (most recently complaining about her press coverage...hmm..) is a bit tedious. Perhaps I should just duck out of this thread!

Totally with you on Peaches Geldof, but I think Lily Allen has had some great tunes. I do think however, that it can't of hurt her having 2 parents in the business!


I don't mind Jack or Kelly Osbourne, but have huge respect for Aimee Osbourne, who wanted nothing to do with The Osbournes TV show, and seems to want to do things on her own.

Jim Morrison - now there's someone who's even less interesting than Lily Allen.

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
