If ever there was a "news story" about nothing that is it.

[greenwichvilla]

Well, yes.

But... Quite funny.

[brian green]

Maybe, but the word "sad" comes to my mind.

Has extensive plastic surgery ever done anything but make a person look weird? I've never heard of the bloke he's trying to look like, but to me all that he has achieved is a vague resemblance to Herman Munster and that is about it.

Free money innit.

[dave.woodhall]

There's always stories about him in the (Birmingham) Mail, usually being "lined up to appear" in some reality show or other which never happens. The poor lad's desperate for fame, he's got the same agent as White Dee and can't see that he's being used.

[Des Little]

How utterly, utterly sad.

You see some frightening looking surgery cases on the telly. I don't understand why anyone would have a load of surgery. Same as wig wearers. When was the last time you saw or heard a group of people nudging and pointing at an old person for looking old or a bald person for being bald. But get surgery or a syrup for vanity purposes and you are making yourself a target.

anyone who shares an agent with White Dee fully deserves that 'left by the fire to melt' look

[brian green]

Trouble is that it is not the path to fame or celebrity, it is the path to derision and ridicule.

[saunders_heroes]

His Grandad is Tony Barton. That's enough fame for any man!

I don't particularly blame him or her; they're victims of celebrity culture and are grabbing what they can get in their fifteen minutes. My contempt is reserved for the agent who put them in this position.

[saunders_heroes]

People want to be famous for being famous without any talent whatsoever. It's all very sad.
