Jade Goody, not much time left

[Von Milash]

That's too bad. she took a lot of shit in the media, but it's still unfortunate that someone with two young children be taken so young.

not much of a life. I guess when you look at her, the product of druggies and brought up in a poor section of town, you realize that your life aint so bad.

[Kev]

I don't really know why she is hated so much. In a way I kind of admire what she has achieved.

She came from nothing, living on a council estate, thick as shit with no prospects, was on a reality show along with dozens of others of wannabes but unlike virtually all of the rest of them she managed to build a successful career out of it.

When you think of all the hundreds of reality stars that have been created now in the UK she was the only one who managed to turn it into a winning financial windfall for herself.

Amazingly she wrote a series of books all of which were big sellers, she made her own perfume range which was a best seller and she even turned her mother and fiance into reality tv stars in their own right.

She behaved badly on the celebrity version but really that's just her upbringing, you stick a common as muck person on tv how do you expect them to behave?

To all those who hate her or begrudge her success I don't really understand it. She came from a background where she had zero prospects and managed against the odds to become famous and make a stack of money.

Why should we begrudge her that, jeoulousy? I dunno

Now she's dying of cancer tragically at only 27 and there are thousands of people who seemingly applaud the idea and make jokes about it.

That I really don't understand. I mean for all her very public faults, cheering the death of someone dying of cancer wasn't one of them.

I simply don't understand the logic of people who think she's trash and a scumbag and therefore they can think its funny that she's dying, and that this laughing at someone dying of cancer doesn't make them lower on the human rating scale then her. Because as far as I see it, it clearly does.

........ that'll be moi


Sorry mate - I don't know her, nor her family and don't feel one single iota of a twinge of sympathy for the fat useless uber-chav that she is.

Seriously, I have the social conscience of a flu virus so I wouldn;t lose a wink of sleep if they all died.

I mean - anyone who decides to make a reality show about her last few months doesn't want or even understand the concept of dignity.

. though I couldn;t help chuckling at the irony that the one channel that will be screening her final weeks should be called UK Living......

Any pretend sympathy and hand wringing coming from my general area would be a complete lie, so I just won't bother.

.... incidentally, I can direct you to a related and somewhat amusing thread elsewhere if you like?

[Kev]

haha the UK Living channel thing is funny. Don't you feel even the slightest bit of sympathy for her though?

Is it just her in particular or people in general. Would you not care less if I don't know Tony Blair was dying or Terry Wogan for example?

[X]

No, no sympathy for her at all. I'm pretty equal opportunity about it as I wouldn't feel anything much if Blair or Wogan was dying.

I am saving some ire for Jade though, as I despised everything she was and stood for during her mercifully brief time here (mercifully for me that is)

I was upset when my brother in law died of brain cancer in just 2 weeks a few months ago ...... but I knew him and liked him, whereas none of those things apply to the (now) skinny piglet. Nobody was weeping and wringing their hands on the internet about him, he was a much more worthwhile human than that fat shit and nobody paid him money for a reality show, or got upset about the family he left behind.

At the risk of repeating myself ....... the only thing better than Jade Goody ... is no Jade Goody.

Well said Bilbo.

You must be part of the silver spoon mob, or blatantly jealous of the fame/dough, to revel in someone like thats death.

[X]

Call me an old cynic, but I don't believe people should rush into marriage.

Look at that Jade Goody and that Jack fella... You mark my words, they'll only last a month.

[Mark TKO]

i can't stand jade goody and don't get how she has risen to such heights but for a 27 year old with two kids to end up like this is tragic beyond words - wouldnt wish that on anyone.

and in a way i can see why she is trying to get every penny she can in her final days to make sure her kids are ok. Most people would I think - and i'm sure thats all shes thinking about.


Wonder if Jack has signed a pre nup so it doesnt all go to him ??

Her mum is a fuck up mind and what fucks me off is what kind of society we live in where people are riveted by Jade Goody's every move and buy things like Jade perfume ?!?! What the fuck is going on there ? The worlds gone mad

Jade Goody in a wedding dress

[HattonTheHammer]

made a mint out of being extremely not thick.

Not that i dont feel desperately sorry for her family, children and close friends.

But there are terminally ill patients who havent got a penny to leave to their family members that never get a mention in the media. Why should we suddenly have this outburst of emotion for 1 person.

And isnt it kind of two faced that the very people that did the upmost to make her life a misery are now demanding we all make jades last few months in this world a pleasent one ??

[Preme]

Jade Goody has cancer, and she claims that she is worried that hair loss might ruin her looks.

Nice to see she hasn't lost her sense of humour.

---------------------

Jade Goody has been cheered up by one bit of good news today.

She got ten quid on eBay for her hairdryer.

Isn't it ironic: Jade Goody's head looks like an egg, and it'll be in a box this Easter.

---------------------

Jade Goody was looking great at her wedding today

Not a hair out of place

---------------------

If you have the Jade Goody 2009 calendar, could you please check and see if it's got all the months in it?

Mine only goes up to March.

---------------------

How do you cure cancer?

I'll let you all know in a few weeks - kinda waiting on something first.

---------------------

Now that Jade Goody has written out her will, is there any chance she could leave her cancer to Amy Winehouse?
