What has become of the former entertainer Michael Barrymore?
Shamed television personality Michael Barrymore has reinvented himself. In Prince Charles like fashion, the former Strike it Lucky star has begun a new career talking to plants at a garden centre in Brentwood, Essex.

Two stories to keep beside you

Moaning Moron Michael
Delusional deranged ‘entertainer’ Michael Barrymore yet again shamefully cracks an inappropriate joke about death Sadly, Michael Barrymore is alive, but it seems he’s not so well. Unlike poor Stuart Lubbock, who was found dead in very strange circumstances in his swimming pool (after which said ‘entertainer’ ran away before an ambulance had even arrived […]

A Pickled Apology
That Michael Barrymore is willing to apologise to Sir Richard Branson but not the family of the late Stuart Lubbock is telling In November 2012, Sir Richard Branson tweeted: “OK. Who’s got a tattoo they have lived to regret?” Amongst the first to respond was Michael Barrymore (AKA Michael Parker), the disgraced entertainer and roller-around-on-the-floor […]
In pictures published in today’s Daily Mirror, Barrymore is shown clutching bottles of Roundup weedkiller. Twice arrested on suspicion of the murder Stuart Lubbock (a man who was found dead in the entertainer’s swimming pool in 2001) but never charged, Barrymore looks a little sheepish in the image. We’re not surprised. The caption beneath the weedkiller reads: “Kills the roots… So weeds never come back”.
How very apt. We’re sure Mr Barrymore, whom we’ve also spotted in the Kings Road Byron restaurant, would very much like it if talk of the events of that particular night were indeed to disappear.

Oh dear. Very sad really. The ‘celebrity’ moniker attached to so many people by the media is a poisoned chalice. It gives them a false sense of being Teflon-coated.. To change slightly the subject, I was apoplectic listening to Radio 4’s Great Lives hosted by Matthew Parris last week, when the subject matter was the Florence Nighingale. He referred to her ‘celebrity’ and even started a panel discussion exploring her sex life.
For God’s sake – where is the respect for yesteryear’s true heroes ?
