JADE MUST KEEP HER CLOVES ON!

alex in the bathroom was a prince

I think I should be more worried about my ever-growing affection for PJ, though. Maybe it's the new haircut.

alex's sense of entitlement is mostly sublimated into his vast list of Rules of Civilised Behaviour, which is why he is alpha male

i missed most of johnny's funning, and rather like his mordant bleakness => i think he and jade are the only ones who don't have ANY obvious sense of entitlement... jade's petulance is as much an instinctive reactive tactic as her babytalk or her "stupidity"

Now I would guess that you like this selfishness because it works against everyone else's selfishnesses, which tend to be more passive. I can see the appeal of that and I really wish Jade would confront eg Tim more (of course nobody does confront Tim, the great frustration of this BB) or even Alex as it would be more entertaining. But generally that's why Jade annoys me.

yeah jade does just talk over everyone all the time, but she doesn't get huffy about the right to it being blocked or anything (i'm not sure that she's aware that she does it and others don't) (also of course no one has worked out how to block it!!), so i wouldn't call that a SENSE of entitlement, just something she does because it sort of works

my sistrah when small once piped up when an adult was cutting the cake: "Be fair! Give me the most!"

She is right of course. PJ loses by not realising until it is far too late.

EXTREME CLOSE UP of Jade on 6 foot projection screen = even I see her piggyness.

"Arrr. this is it man" = PJ MUST GO!

Alex sleeps in a FONG!

(I liked how the labels for covering up the brandnames were covered in Avery logos)

Mark, I think your early assumption that Jade = punXor is bearing out less and less as the programme continues - and surely it is Jade who has the greatest feeling of entitlement in the house (just because she cannot necessarily rationalise it as such does not mean it does not exist). Her going off to cry in the corner antics, her aggressive arguing style all screams that she needs to be centre of attention - which is the entitlement she has always had in her life.

(NB I didn't see it as I was eating curry - not kebabs - but I think I could've coped)

I just think it was a bit sad losing every round of "strip think while you drink". She didn't have to take all her clothes off, and then her puny attempt to hide all her bit was just laughable (as ALex curled up on the range after his previous - would you have thought it - flirtation with Carpet Burn Kate).

bear in mind i'm trying to explain why *i* don't get bugged by her (or johnnie) AT ALL, so i am actually exploring a real distinction i am making, even if i am miscuing or misdescribing it.... "aha but!!" doesn't really cut it, unless you can supply a version of the distinction which i am likely to be responding to (thus "she is a brainless teenage girl" won't work as it only quite poorly describes johnny")

Emma I am a well known fan of the hem hem larger lady and I felt no such temptation re. Jade. There was something about the drunken squealing and wriggling which was a bit horrible - nothing to do with what was on show. Still grebt TV though.

Jade is hardly fat.

btw "kebab" as slang for female bits = UGH to the power of 103545.

i am a vegan you know. heheh

So...it was the flowers that did it?

M Night Shyamalan was right all along.

my thoughts are with the bereaved at this difficult time - heat, ok!, sunday people

They're not bereaved yet, they still have tomorrow's editions (and maybe relics for sale, who knows)

The funeral issue's still to come. Then they can interview Jack and Jackieyeyeyey week about until the kids are old enough to speak for themselves.

RIP Jade, since no-one else has bothered to say it. Not that the world's a worse place right now for having one less ignorant bully in it or anything.

^ OTM

Dunno what you're talking about, DG. The boys walking behind the coffin is going to make a great front cover shot.

ignorant racist bully, surely

think that's covered by the ignorant bit.

I'm going to not look at British papers the next week, it's beginning.

Oh christ. Still RIP. Way too young to die. Leaving two kids behind. :-(

Got to hand it to Max Clifford, helpfully letting the public know she made it three hours into Mother's Day. In the first sentence of the press release.

Eeek at spectacle but RIP, cancer sucks.

Aye, all this pish that's being spouted about how she keeps telling Max Clifford she's just glad that people are considering lowering the age for getting smears as a result of her diagnosis doesn't really alter the fact that if she'd bothered doing anything in response to the results of her own tests for the last few years then she wouldn't be at death's door right now.

How is it pish? It is a fact that it is being considered. It is also a fact that the publicity surrounding this has led to a huge jump in the number of young women having tests and has saved lives. These are good things whether Jade was ignoring the warning signs from her own tests or not. She fucked up, and she's paid for it with her life, hopefully other people are learning from it.

THIS GENERATION'S DIANA

A lot of the things Max Clifford is attributing to her don't sound like things that she would actually say. I wasn't casting aspersions on the content, just the attribution of them. This is more a comment on Clifford than Goody, tbh. I went for my regular smear not that long ago and it took seven weeks for the results to come back, presumably because a lot more people are being tested than usual. This is unequivocally a good thing.

OK. But this whole thing is still an extremely cynical display by everyone involved. Sadly, not enough people are even noticing that anymore.

Hey, I was the first to even add an RIP to my post. Cancer can fuck off and stop killing people, that's a given. But, come on, this is the most stage-managed media-friendly death ever, it's practically inviting cynicism by its nature.

You'd almost think that her dying on Mother's Day was planned...

^ not that much cynicism

KBP gets a cynic of the day crown to wear with his cape :)

Come on, you're thinking it.

Stoked about how the BBC have cutted and pasted a few entries from Stephen Fry's Twitter as a 'tribute'. JOURNALISM AS ITS BEST!!

I tried not to laugh there, and failed.

Bit of revisionism from the beeb: "She was later accused of being racist towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty"

Calling someone Shilpa Fuckawalla Poppadom on TV = "accused of"

Cynical thing I have heard this week: death not announced until after Natasha Richardson was off the front pages.

Haha, anyone heard the interview with the bishop calling her a kind of saint? Mind. Blown.

C of E Bishop saying that "In a very real sense, that's a bit like Jesus"?

She died at 3.14 - isn't that suspiciously precise? 3.14, pi, pie, ready for a Mr. Kipling/Bernard Matthews licensing deal?

Stan, I wonder if we'll have a Morel spectacle on our hands as well. Although in STORY she proclaimed she waq doing well. Or was it some other rag? Can't remember. Or maybe some gossip site I was visiting during my photography class. :-)

Ok, after reading the whole bit on the four negative tests: I was a bit hasty in judging she should have pursued it. Apparently they did test her for cancer but appeared it wasn't the case (except the last time duh). Maybe a bit of 20/20 hindsight on my/our part.

I never really believed the "oh noe positive I no I'll ignore it and do BigBro India and it will go away" posit.

Anyway, am I the only one thinking "Lock thread, it's all been said" ?

Someone should raise awareness of murder by murdering Max Clifford.

OK, I was wrong.

Russell Brand's tribute

The backlash on the Daily Mail site (from readers) hit as soon as she died. So weird to behold.

It's not really a backlash. Opinion on her is very divided. Sometimes, before she died, the Daily Mail ran separate stories, seemingly aimed at separate constituencies. Anti Jade comments attracted massively positive ratings on some comment threads, but the same comments would have earned equally negative ratings on other threads. The Daily Mail likes to do that - press different buttons.

Jade Goody musical is to be made
By Fiona Pryor
Entertainment reporter, BBC News

Jade Goody passed away on Mothers Day in March
A musical based on Jade Goody's life is being created, a former business partner and friend of the late reality TV star has confirmed.

Danny Hayward, who is in charge of the project, said he is planning to hold open auditions to fill the lead role of the 27-year-old herself.

"Jade was just an ordinary girl and the person who plays her will reflect that," he said.

"The most important thing is to give someone a break, just like she got."

'Dream'

He said dates for the auditions will be announced in three weeks' time.

However, Goody's former publicist Max Clifford played down the show.

"It's an idea that's got legs, but it's nothing definite. It's not all signed and sealed, but it's something that's likely to happen."

He added that if the production did go ahead he would help promote it and cast the lead roles.

"I got very close with Jade in the last year and spent a lot of time with her," he said.

Earlier this month, Clifford revealed he had been in talks with several film companies about making a movie based on Goody.

He told Radio 1 Newsbeat that they were "serious discussions" because her "incredible life touched so many people".

Televised open auditions perhaps? With a phone-in vote?
