monalisa - Lily Rose did not say that all men are perfect, you however did say that "most men" would behave in the same way that Lee Ryan is alleged to have. I don't believe that any of the men I know would do anything of the sort and suggesting that the majority would is plain insulting.

And the tabloids will have a field day!

My oh met her years ago when she appeared at Butlins. All the staff said how much of a diva she was, and this was years before Eastenders. Her vile treatment to her assistants and dressers, and her foul mouth was very much in contrast to her "cheeky cockney sparrah" persona.

Thompson charming friendly and chatty. Felidia law(emmas mum likewise). George cole lovely. Mcfly lovely. Myelene klass lovely. Matt willis lovely. Minnie Driver lovely. Holly willowtree ....ok. Her husband....rude horror.

I've met Robert Lindsey 3 times, and he has always been really pleasent, took photo's each time and had a chat

I was on a phone in feature on Jo Whiley's radio show a few years ago. I was quite surprised, because I thought I wouldnt speak to her until I was actually on the air, but she very briefly said hello just before the feature started, and seemed nice enough.

Other than that, I have no experience. My sister met Faye Tozer many a year ago during the time when Steps were massive, and said she was lovely and squeezed and rubbed her hands because it was so cold outside the venue.

Im also surprised nobody has mentioned Tess Daly on here yet. I recall a similar thread a few months back, and there wasnt a nice thing to say about her on here!

there's probably 20% good men in the world and the rest are horrid fair enough they might not say/do what Lee did but the majority of blokes (espicially young ones) don't care what they do(and thats purley a guess if your nice then i didn't mean you weren't )

Love that cabin crew link!

Of course there ARE men that are total pigs. I will never deny that. Just like I will never believe that all women are innocent angels. But what you said was far too broad a generalisation. I know we can all say stupid things in the heat of the moment when we're thinking about something that's pissed us off but you do have to try to be careful with wording such things.

Again - I think you must have just had one bad experience too many because I really do not think that you can generalise like that.

I've come across men behaving like complete arsehole's too but you won't get very far in life if you tar so many people with the same brush.

And I see you are quite young still, so hopefully you will have some more positive experiences soon which might open your mind a little.

I'd like to think I was nice I'm female btw - maybe I'm just lucky in the men I have met. I cannot deny that there are some real sh*ts out there and I have come across a couple, but I don't think they outnumber the OK ones and thankfully I had no reason to keep them in my life.

Putting in a MASSIVE 'Truly Nice Bloke' compliment for Simon King, formerly of Springwatch and Autumnwatch. What a brilliantly lovely man, always has a smile and time for fans. Comforted me when I got a bit upset at him leaving Spring/Autumnwatch.

Also, I'd put former Children's Laureate and author Jacqueline Wilson into the 'lovely-to-meet' category. I gave her a note at a book signing in my home town, and a couple of weeks later, received a handwritten postcard from her. A true star who always has time for her fans!

That's so sad that you feel 80% of men are terrible, you must have met some real horrors

Mona, the majority of men are nice - they are human beings, the same as we are - I think your experience of men is fairly limited and the ones you have come into contact with have all been immature tossers.

Haha, now who's generalising?

Not met Babs myself, but a friend of mine worked for T4 back in the days Dermot O'Leary presented, and Babs was a guest, have to say he didn't have bad word to say about her, she was, according to him lovely, very friendly, couldn't have been nicer

I forgot to add. Melanie C. You cant meet a nicer person. Seriously.

I think Robin Williams, Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp always come up top on the nicest celebs.
I've never seen a bad word written about them from either fans or journalists alike.

Oh, by the way...has anybody ever met Sean Connery?
He doesn't strike me as a nice person at all.

I haven't. But I have a vague recollection of him espousing views during interviews which I find fairly abhorrant - wasn't there something about giving your wife the odd slap being normal and nothing to make a big fuss about? Ah, google is your friend - direct quote (taken 'out of context' according to Mr Connery):


There's also something which hints at huge arrogance, so it wouldn't surprise me if he did turn out to be a bit of a git in real life.

I'm really sorry you feel like this
I have to say that the majority of men I know and have known are good, decent blokes.
I think men get tarred with a very broad brush nowadays and shouldn't all be judged on the actions of a few; there are just as many awful women out there as there are men, imo.
I really hope you meet some good guys in the near future and are able to feel differently

Actually you're right... I now remember she did have a potty mouth that would make a seasoned sailor blush. She sat in the f/c lounge calling a number of people c***ts.

I did a meet and greet with him in 2001. He was actually fine, not grumpy, just wanted to get from plane to plane as quickly as possible as he had a tight deadline. He still managed to sign a few people's autographs and said thank you. I was given the impression he does not suffer fools gladly though and he that he could be a grumpy old man, but he seemed fine... older than I expected.

Friends got an upgrade to first class and wished they hadnt as they had to listen to and watch Ulrika order the cabin crew about whilst her kids caused mayhem. Met Biggins in house of Fraser. We were waiting at the till and as I recognised him I just said hello. He was lovely. Was buying gifts for crew on dancing on ice tour. Spending well into 3 figures

There was a thread on here a few years ago, my eyes smarted at what I read.

That thread was duly deleted, not surprisingly, as the old geezer is still breathing.

Well, he's 84 at the end of the month, so we may not have too long to wait.

Nah, the devil looks after his own......
