i noticed that. she seemed like a lot of fun. then right at the end she went all evil.

I dont think her..(pawing at Russells hands), Emily Blunt (rhymes with..) and sulky Russell came across well last night.

Cringy stuff.

I've never had any interest in her or her music whatsoever. She leaves me cold for some reason.

I seem to have watched a different show to everyone else last night as I enjoyed the three guest together and loved the rapport.

I didn't know much about Paloma Faith before last night but I found her entertaining and funny.

I also watched the same show as you. I thought Emily Blunt and Paloma were both flirting harmlessly with Russell too!

Graham made an erroneous point equating the intelligence of a 2nd year biomedical student with a medical sales rep - because they both had something to do with medicine.

Paloma, astutely and accurately pointed out that they weren't equivalent, because one just sold stuff - and that doesn't require a degree or any academic qualifications or ability.

That's not mean. That's not hurtful, to the sales rep: it's just truthful and was directed at Norton's faulty reasoning.

Kooky, insightful, creative, weirdly cute and a talented singer. Not bad going, really.

Exactly, it's like saying that someone who sells books is a literary expert - and anyone who's ever been to Waterstone's can tell you that's certainly not true.

I thought she came over really well on Graham Norton, when Russell Brand actually let her finish a sentence...

i like paloma - she's a tad eccentric but brightens up an otherwise dark and gloomy world.

only downside to her is that she could tweet a bit more.

I like her music, but not fussed on her since I saw her arsing about at the Jubilee. I didn't see the GN show so will watch it on iPlayer to see what the fuss is about.

I liked her i felt she held her own against Russell Brand, im usually a RB fan but its like he has a giant stick up his ass at the moment and its becoming very tiring watching his attitude. I thought she was warm and funny and i loved the song.

Perhaps, but I think Paloma's also a great singer. I'm not
really bothered about some silly comments she made
on GN-nobody's perfect.

Evil? What a massive overreaction. It was a harmless comment and completely accurate. Graham says far worse about the people who go in the red chair.

I have a feeling that she'd go like a kangaroo on a space-hopper.

Yes, what do you mean?

You didn't think he really was Oirish did you?

People are taking this way too seriously, for those who are moaning but still haven't seen the clip, then watch it (it's right at the end of the show). She didn't even say it in a nasty way!

Also, Russell Brand was mocking her style and 'barnet' throughout and she was laughing, she's not stuck up at all! She even said once "I'm just a girl that dresses up, there is no other side to me or weirdness" (something like that).

She's funny

Seems there were a few of us watching the same show as you. I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the banter between the three of them.

I thought that her comment was a bit rude...who cares if she just sells stuff, doesn't have any bearing on how clever she is? But having seen Paloma on several panel shows now I've got the impression she just likes to be in the mix, she tends to butt in on people's stories with things that only she seems to find funny but I guess as long as she's happy .

I once read something with Matthew Fox (and since I never once saw Lost I had no opinion of him either way) where he came across like an egotistical idiot. Saw him a few months later on some chat show and he didn't exactly redeem himself either although for all I know he might be charm personified! Impressions count.
