Is this real life?
Lauren Laverne

TV Presenter/Radio Host

Looking a little like Kermit the Frog with a Geordie accent, Lauren Laverne is best known for presenting music and cultural shows, as well as being "that one that looks a like Kermit the Frog with a Geordie accent". She's currently the weak link in the political "10 O'Clock Live" show, which is a bit like SNL mixed with The Daily Show.
 

Fuddlemiff

Is this real life?
Yeah, she's nice enough, but she's still the least confident, least amusing, least politically minded member of a live comedy politics show.
 

The Tomtrek

Love Wookiee
Because her role on the show is to keep everything on topic and running on time so that the whole show isn't a 50 minute Jimmy Carr joke about EGDY TERRORIST JOKES. She's more of an actual presenter than a comedian which you can see when she presents the Culture Show really well with Mark Kermode and she actually knows her stuff.
 

Fuddlemiff

Is this real life?
Yes, I like her when she presents the Culture Show really well with Mark Kermode and she actually knows her stuff.

Who will be next in the who's who, and will The Tomtrek attempt to keep the celeb's dirty little secrets SECRET?

June Sarpong

June-Sarpong-Photos.jpg


TV Presenter

Sarpong is of Ghanaian descent, and is easily recognisable for her huge, toothy smile, and slow, monotone voice. Mostly known for presenting E4, on Channel 4 for 9 years. She was also awarded an MBE in 2007 for "services to broadcasting and charity", having fronted The Prince's Trust for several years (but mostly believed to be down to the fact that she also publicly supported The Labour Party, having dated the former Labour Minister, David Lammy).

Currently working as an interviewer on Jesse Ventura's show, Conspiracy Theory. God only knows how US audiences have taken to her annoying voice, and lack of presenting skills.

She hosted Derek Acorah's live seance with Michael Jackson.

All In With The Nuts
Conspiracy Theory must be on one of those weird channels that only rednecks watch.

She looks like the meatloaf that would result from putting Iman and Pia Zadora in the grinder.

Jordan

jordan-model03.jpg


'Glamour' model / 'Novelist' / 'TV Presenter' / 'Singer' / Professional Celebrity

Jordan (born Katie Price), first came to prominence by posing topless in the tabloid The Sun. She quickly chose to augment her breast size in three stages (since reduced, and re-augmented again), as well as other parts of her body. Hailing from Brighton, both Menty & I have (unfortunate) links to her, and some of her original group of friends. The silly cow then moved onto simply plaguing television as a 'celeb'.

She has been in one series of 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here', where she met the previously long-forgotten Australian singer, Peter André, They fucked. Kids appeared. Price had already produced one child, the disabled Harvey, from then-Manchester United footballer, Dwight Yorke (a former teammate of David Beckham). She has since married & seperated from 'cage-fighter' / cross-dresser / porn-actor Alex Reid.

Currently plaguing our screens as a dancer in the name of the Comic Relief charity, dressed as Freddie Mercury from the I Want to Break Free video. She is probably one of the most reviled celebrities around today. I would imagine her closest US equivalents to be the Kardashians. Hiding behind her revolting personality is an astute business mind. She is believed to be worth in the region of £30-40m.

Do you really want to know more?

Yep. She's sold every facet of her life to the public to get it tho.


This thread was a great idea, Jarn. Should we have it stickied for a while?
 

Fuddlemiff

Is this real life?
I don't see why not. :) The credit goes to Dr Dave, though. We were talking about Jenny Powell (the poor man's Claudia Winkleman) or Bobby Davro (the poor man's Les Dennis, who in turn is the poor man's Bradley Walsh) or some other British Celeb and he suggested a guide to who they all are.

Chris Moyles & Chris Evans
Chris-Moyles-and-Chris-Ev-001.jpg


Two of our most famous Radio DJ's.

Chris Moyles has three jokes:
1. I am fat
2. I am notoriously self indulgent and talk about me me me all the time, but actually it's irony (Actually it isn't at all, he's just a fat gobshite)
3. I am from Leeds and not into all this poncy celebrity crap (mmm, jury is out)

He hosts the largest audience breakfast show on Radio 1. 10 -14 year olds go crazy for him. He has done the show for the last 4 millenia.

[ chris moyles ]I am not doing a link for him as I can't be bothered [ / chris moyles ]

Chris Evans:
His life is actually quite interesting, although now he appears to be punching the clock and doing the drivetime show on Radio 2.

Highlights include:
1. Being an assistant to Timmy Mallett
2. Being a better shock jock than the American originals
3. Being drunk and not showing up
4. Marrying Billie Piper
5. No showing up to work again
6. Doing Radio 2 and calming down

TV Presenter/Knows Lilly Allen

It's really anyone's guess how this rasping, indifferent looking mingebag made it into the tv presenting business (oh, wait, wikipedia says her mother was a tv presenter...). Devoid of any natural "star quality" or "charisma", she's another in a long line of terrible T4 hosts (in many ways the natural successor to June Sarpong), though credit where it's due, she has made a habit lately of getting fired from jobs by insulting other, similarly annoying celebrities, including K€sha and Satan incarnate Ferne Cotton. Infact, starting out her career working alongside the brilliant Simon Amstell, she's now often seen out on the town with Lilly "Radiohead devalue music" Allen, culminating in her starring in the music video for "Your Cum Tastes Like Marmite".
