Hey kids!! I just got back from a sunday afternoon shopping trip to the Gateshead MetroCentre and my hubby and I were in HMV when I spotted Liam at the back of the store with his dad and another friend. I was like, Oh my god - it's Liam!! Dead excited!
But apparently I was the only one. The store was packed and not a single person other than me gave him a second glance. Even the cashier looked totally bored and unimpressed when he went to purchase whatever it was he was getting (I wasn't THAT close to see, cos I'm not that big of a stalker!)
Anyway, it struck me as odd that only I seemed to recognise him. Has he faded to obscurity that quickly or were the other shoppers just being coy? What do we think?
PS - I can report he is REALLY cute in real like too and not as wide as he looked on tv either. (I wasn't a HUGE fan of his during BB, but he IS really good looking in real life)

Amy kinda implied/suggested this to him one night...but she held back on actually saying it incase she be called a schemer.
At a nightclub in Sunderland last night he had to be taken off the stage. He was in danger of being mobbed[enthuseastically]The peaple who were looking out for him had clothes torn Liams arm was hurt.He is to be employed as an agony aunt by one of these magazines.Lots of other stuff in the pipeline. Including the anti bullying alliance, breast cancer.MS So omgwtfbbq im pleased to tell you suffer.
Actually, much as I liked Amy, I disagree with this. Why should anyone hook up with someone simply to get publicity or carry on being talked about? Surely that's just what some people are accusing Ziggy and Channelle of doing.
The predictions of stardom for BB contestants are so way out that they are amusing to read .Even some of the most popular ones never make it and most are either hanging around nightclubs waiting for the paps, still hoping for record deals or appearing on obscure TV and radio shows just a year after their BB glory.
I quite like the idea of someone going on BB, having a couple of weeks in the papers then going back to their normal life- it's refreshing. Maybe if we get more BB contestants like that in BB it will change for the better and stop being the 3 month audition for TV Presenters, Glamour Models or OK Magazine Numpty that it has turned into.
I totally agree with you Pretzel. Liam stated many times in and out the house that he wanted to go back to his normal life. Fair enough, he has made a few public appearances, if someone is willing to pay you good money to do so, then why not?
He is still entitled to go shopping without being mobbed. He still has a private life and wishes not to tell anyone who cares to listen anything about his private/sex life. I respect him for it.
Why the hell would the anti-bullying alliance want to be associated with someone like Liam. :mad:His attitude towards some of the female HMs bordered on bullying in my opinion, especially when he talked of ganging up with the other lads to force out a female HM. As for becoming an agony aunt, it doesn't surprise me that he would want a sex change operation.:cool:
I would believe that he was taken off stage (for boring the audience and wasting time) and that people wanted to mob him (but not enthusiastically).
Thankfully I don't read magazines so I won't have to bear his column of shitty advice.
And that's rich, Liam being involved in an anti-bullying campaign. :rolleyes:
peaple.
well said
You of course know more than peaple who are paid to do what they do. yea right.
How do you know what I know? At least I do know how to spell and use correct grammar.
You may well, but the Anti bullying alliance, are happy to choose Liam. No not happy, delighted.He has also been invited to run in next years London marathon for the Multiple schlerosis society.
That's a bit of a dubious comment to make on here.
You don't get busy forums and psychophantic fans for who wants to be a millionaire contestants as far as I'm aware.
Anyway good on him. He'd get critisized if he was turning up at premieres for milking every last drop of fame. (Though I must admit, winning the £100,000 probably had a lot to do with it)
Seems as if you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
these reality stars want you to come rushing up to them. anyone with a brain would not give them the satisfaction and just ignore them.
also he doesnt stand out in a crowed. he is very plain looking.
i would have just walked straight past.
There is no doubt that some BB contestants are chasing fame for fame's sake but for quite a few of fame is probably only a means to an end. Since Liam got a pile of cash without having to work the media afterwards it's not really fair to compare him to the other contestants who have got bills to pay and are just making the most of their opportunities. It's also worth pointing out that, as a male contestant with no relationship as-such, his revenue streams were pretty limited in any case. In my experience most of the people groaning about tiresome wannabes have Channelle in mind-- you can't compare her with Liam, though. It's not like there is an equivalent of NUTS catering to the needs of females which could have induced to Liam to 'degrade' himself... Also, and I'm not saying this makes him a bad person in my eyes, I'm sure he'll be happy to take full advantage of the extra female attention thrown his way as the result of being a Z-list celeb.
Although come to think of it... I did read a cheesy Liam interview in Now! a few weeks back.'Refreshing', 'Back to normal life', 'not milking it'? Two words: "Please!" and "hah!" :rolleyes:
I could think of plenty of better ones than Liam.
Exactly. Luckily for him his manhandling of the girls a lot of the time was left on the cutting room floor. Beats me why they would choose someone that will send the audience into a coma with that monotone voice of his.
