    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Anything other than a pair of rolling eyes??????? I was just writing down what was in the TV programme from a mobile phone.

    To take this further some rapper accused Andre of stealing his rap, but apparently the rapper in question had been signed off or something so he had no rights to the rap, so rather than keep the rap on his album, Peter had it removed because it wasn't right morally, even though it was legal for him to keep it on he decided that he didn't want to upset the bloke.

    I didn't even know about this, apparently a load of rappers sent him nasty tweets on Twitter, so roll your eyes some more if you want :rolleyes:

    Don't have a go at me, I wasn't rolling my eyes at you, I was rolling them at Andre simply because I can't be bothered to think of anything else to say about him as quite frankly the man and his endless PR stunts and stories of the nature above exhaust me.

    I'm giving up on DS anyway so I won't be here to irritate you ;):D

    I feel your pain. :D His dull-witted neediness is exhausting.

    Caught the end of that show last night. Desperately exploitative. They could have edited so easily but choose not to just so he could have his grief on camera. Quite shameless.

    Tell me about it :D Glad I'm not the only one, everyone else around me seems to think he is great :rolleyes:
    Now I've accidently upset scone though. I hope she'll forgive me. I should have made myself more clear.

    I don't watch his show, I cannot bear to. I'm rather fed up with attention seekers now, I would only end up in a bad mood after viewing his "televisual feast" :D

    I gathered that might be the case. I didn't watch, nor follow PA on Twitter but I did notice Gemma from CAN reminding everyone yesterday to watch the "emotional" episode. I think someone on one of the other PA threads questioned whether it was "grief porn" to screen someone receiving bad news and judging by the reaction on Twitter last night with hundreds of (mostly)women gushing (yes...gushing)about how sad it all is and how much they are all crying together and how great Peter is..we then I can come to the conclusion that it is indeed.

    ..and then randomly before the programme starts,Gemma pops up on Twitter with WTTE of..."About tonights episode...if you're wondering how I got such great lush hair in this episode - visit Stylishweaves.com for full details!" Never a advertising opportunity lost, not even on the back of a tragedy. :rolleyes:

    I can remember exactly where I was standing when I learned that my nan, first boyfriend, both uncles, friend and most devastating of all - my mum all had terminal cancer. You cannot share that for money and sympathy - to do so is to lose your soul, and to compromise their dignity - and your own. Still, he's willing to sell grief and there's enough ghouls lapping it up, seemingly.

    What a most excellent post Daisy, you've summed it up in one and hit the nail right on the head. Brilliant.

    If the abomination that is Andre sees fit to use the tragedy of his brother's death as a form of grief porn, I have no hesitation in criticising him again.

    Brainless, attention-seeking moron that he is.:mad:

    I didn't watch the show. Nor do I ever. But I'm intrigued by the outpourings of horror from those who either did or say they didn't but yet have vociferous opinions on said show.....or as I read it on here,one section of the episode.
    As predicted, however he handled it he would be decreed wrong & criticised from those who 'don't watch that show' yet declare a need for 'eye-bleach' & 'brain bleach'. Most odd for sure.
    His brother died while the show was being filmed.Had he not brought it up or talked of it he would be deemed heartless & uncaring. He brought it up & was open about it & is being pilloried for daring to show whatever amount of grief he showed. With the words "grief porn" even being bandied about because people dare to offer sympathy. If I followed him on twitter I would offer my sympathy and I can assure you I am NOT into "grief porn".
    None of us have the right to make rules on how to deal with the horrors of Cancer. You do it your way,I do it mine,and the Andres do it it their way. None is the right way....just the right way for that person at that time.

    Polli.. What many of us don't understand is how he can allow filming when he is recieving awful news.. And worse still how he can allow his " grief" to be shown.. I don't have a problem with him talking about his brother.. But not to exploit his brothers situation for an " entertainment" show

    I need a 'lost for words' smiley.

    But then, is anyone really surprised? I mean, really? Knowing PA's and CAN's history and the way he and they will use just about anything to 'entertain'?

    Thank you.. That's how I see the situation and I've never felt comfortable about how Andrews illness was used in the show. I don't watch it so don't know if they raised awareness of symptoms etc and how to seek help etc.. But those I know who watch it have said they don't remember if he did or not.

    So what did YOU want him to do Betty ?

    I'm genuinely intrigued here. What is the official rule on handling grieving ?
    I used to work with girls with eating disorders & death was common & if I told you how the other girls handled it you simply would never believe it. But it was/is their way & such is life & death.No rules. You wallow & sink,or you grab life with both hands & run with it. Or drift. Different strokes for different folks .
    Maybe Andrew made them promise NOT to wallow & asked for celebration of life instead. It happens like that often.

    His brother was there Betty....part of it & party to it. His choice as an adult.And as an older brother believe me ,he would have stated exactly how he wanted things to his kid bro.
    The show is about Peter Andre's life and his brother's illness was the biggest part of his life in this chapter. So it was shown. Real life isn't fluffy & cuddly 24/7 and is often harsh. Reality in a reality show....just that simple.

    Since you don't watch the show (although you said you watched some of it a few wks back:confused:) then why would you be interested in the subject anyway?
    " I don't watch his show, yet I talk about him every day".
    What is your motivation for doing that?
    Not being abusive whatsoever, but if it touches a nerve, alert by all means, as happened with my Christmas day posting comment. lol.

    ITV2 seems to be the only channel interested in him and that's only because his management also make his "reality" show to hand over, ready made, to be shown on a channel not known for its taste and quality control.

    Explains why he's on ITV2 then, about half a million women under 30 probably like this rubbish.

    What Christmas day comment? I don't alert it's not my style.if I don't like something you say.i will tell you.
    I watched a clip a few weeks ago as quite a few went on about it and I wanted to see if what they said was right. I don't talk about him everyday and so what f I did.. What's it to you.im allowed an opinion and I have no " motivation" just an opinion about a man who sells himself as perfect..when really IMO he sells his children for money and fame
