time to shut-up?

[robertson]

I'm sorry if I appear uncharitable, but how many more times do we want to hear or read Ingrid Tarrant's feelings about her split from Chris, or Gloria Hunniford on the death of her daughter Caron? Both very sad occurrences, no doubt, but there are countless other people in the World who go through such things. And these two go on and on and on.

100% agree with you on ingrid tarrant but i honestly believe it is the way of some folk to come to terms with their grief by talking about the loss of a loved one!!

[bednobs]

ialso think that seeing someone on the telly talking about their grief can be a catlyst for others to think about theirs in a good way

At the risk of being branded an unfeeling monster...

I too wish that Gloria would shut-up. She's not the only one to have suffered grief and, actually, some of us have dealt with it, live with it, and don't inflict it on others.

Dont follow celeb goss at all but is Ingrid Tarrant still banging on about it because people will pay her large sums of money to do an article or interview ?

[robertson]

Yeah, cover story on Daily Mail mag Weekend today. Of course Chris Tarrant was a bad lad, but boy is he paying publicly for it. Hell doth indeed have no fury.

When the story first broke about Chris Tarrant, Ingrid couldn't walk out of her house without being met by a crowd of photographers taking photos of her and no doubt making up their own captions/stories to go with them. I don't blame her if she thought to herself 'if I'm going to be in the newspapers, I might as well give my side and get paid for it'. If the newspapers/magazines didn't think there was still some mileage, some public interest in her, they wouldn't be approaching her for interviews.

I have previously mentioned Gloria Hunniford deification of her daughter.

Yes, her death was a tragedy, but she was a reasonably attractive, average TV presenter, not a reincarnation of Mother Teresa, and the constant mawkish appearences, the book, and the apparent wish that we should see Caron Keating's death as a tragedy and a loss beyondbearing is frankly wearing pretty thin by now.

Hopefully Mrs Tarrant will show a little more dignity - as her husband appears to be doing - and think of her children who are being exposed to the public dissection of their parents' divorce.
