Not Everyone Is A Jade Goody Fan

| Filed under: AnglophiliaJade Goody

wenn21631652.jpg

As we've mentioned before, UK reality TV star Jade Goody is dying from cervical cancer that has spread to other parts of her body, including the brain. The news has been all over England and spread globally.

In fact, even Michael Jackson called the reality TV star on the phone to show his support. Like Jackson even knows who she is!

But, you know, when people are dying, those around them only tend to only focus on the good. Like forgetting that Goody first gained worldwide attention while starring in Celebrity Big Brother and tormenting former housemate, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, with some really racially incensitive comments.

However, that's not the case with Oasis douche Noel Gallagher. He's calling the whole media attention Goody's receiving in the UK "embarrassing for Britain."

Gallagher said in a recent interview, "I was watching the TV today and they're all outside her house. There's a global crisis apparently going on, and it's 'Jack Straw, could you have a look at this?' I mean, I’ve got fuck all against Jade Goody, that's nothing to do with me. But it bends my head. That, to me, sums up in one tiny five-minute thing on the news what an embarrassing place Britain is right now."

Ouch!

What do U think of all the media coverage surrounding Goody and her final days?

    Gallagher IS a douche, but he's absolutely right concerning the succubus Goody.



  3. 3

    Yeh, good point man. Yes, she deserves respect and privacy at this time but she's not exactly Princess Diana now is she? The media should leave her be, just because they're in frenzy about her doesn't mean the British public are. This awful awful situation is experienced by probably thousands of people across the world.



  4. 4

    not familiar with Jade's past or her reality show. Just read about her the first time here regarding her cancer diagnosis and ever since. A young young woman with 2 small boys is devastating , end of story.



  5. 5

    I never saw anything on the news when my grandpa died of cancer.

    R.I.P. gramps!



  6. 6

    They should back off and let her enjoy her final days in peace. It's terrible what is happening to her, but there are more horrible things going on in the world. And why doesn't she get on Hospice? Do they have that over there? It's a wonderful organization.



  7. 7

    Well To Be Honest, Jade Goody Wouldn't Care If I Had Cancer Would She? I'm From Britain, I've Seen Her in All The TV Shows And How She Behaves In Public - And…She's, Well She's Different. But I Don't See Why All This Fuss Is Being Made, She's a Reality TV Star? Doesn't Perez Slag Them Off Regularly? Tons Of People Die From Cancer Everyday..Some With More Heartbreaking stories, Why Isn't All This Fuss Made About Them? People Who Don't Have Nannys and Assistants And Struggle Alone…



  8. 8

    I don't get the hype either! Who is this woman?? People die all over the world in mass numbers every day, but this chick gets press?! Sounds a bit mental to me. Especially knowing why she's "famous". Craptastic.



  9. 9

    I think that there are more news-worthy stories in the world that deserve the headlines more than a Z-list British celebrity.



  10. 10

    Sry, and grandma too.

    R.I.P. Nonna!



  11. 11

    What do U think of all the media coverage surrounding Goody and her final days?

    YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE THERE ASS LICKER!

    Re: JOHNNY KARATE – Don't forget my sister JK! Love ya sis!



  13. 13

    I'm British and whilst I am hugely sympathetic to Jade Goody and know that Noel often "misphrases" things, he does have a point. A LOT of 2 faced-ness is going on- people used to HATE her.



  14. 14

    You ARE contributing to most of that attention, Perez, by displaying her pictures and posting about her every other day!!



  15. 15

    I agree, and also think it's fucking sad and pathetic, including you Perez. Leave the chick alone even if she is sending her spokes-people out in full force - and also, we are fucking tired of reading your reports on her. Fuck off already.



  16. 16

    i kinda agree with him.
    leave the bitch alone.
    bigger news out there.



  17. 17

    Couldn't agree more with him, Why does this bitch get so much attention when there are thousands of other people dying and will end up leaving behind kids and family. Fuck her.



  18. 18

    Yeah it's really sad for her and her family because you don't wish this to anybody.. But even here in Holland they are talking about her in some programs and we didn't even know her before that.
    It's actually always like this.. When you are dying you are the best and the strongest person ever and if you are healthy they don't care about you…



  19. 19

    i agree. i'm sick of hearing about it. people die everyday from cancer and they don't have it brodcasted all over the media like it was something new… seriously.. I mean it's sad and all.. but oh well… it's life!



  20. 20

    i think you should shut up and let her die in peace, piggy mario.



  21. 21

    I cant walk in a coner shop without seeing her face on the papers. I understand she is doing it for the money to support her kids when she passed but this has gone passed gratuitous. She is the only celebrity I can think who uses her illness for her own persona gain - she has done nothing for the work of cervical cancer charities or anything for he future.



  22. 22

    Yes, it's sad that she's dying. But, people die everyday from cancer and you don't see it being publicised. She doesn't deserve any more sympathy than everyone else in this world. I'm over it and sick of hearing about her.



  23. 23

    Honestly, she is an embarrasment to Britain. I sort of hope she dies because she represents everything that is wrong with Britain: the only reason she is famous is because she is a horrible fucking tanlentless charver who is racist and a classicist, rages against people who are smarter than her, is painfully stupid, has a brand tattoo somewhere and her husband is a certified assaulter. I don't care what everyone says, Jade Goody needs to be exterminated and every Jade Goody wannabe out there needs to die with her. So many good people are dying - so many good people who are nothing like this horrible bitch. Why aren't we focused on them?



  24. 24

    I AGREEE 100%
    THANK GOD!



  25. 25

    Oi!For once I agree with Noel-it's a circus and it sucks.Now run along Noel and get souced ya Wanker



  26. 26

    She's just trying to make sure her family will be taken care of after she is gone. If her only way to do that is by publicizing her last days, then so be it. Anyone would do the same.



  27. 27

    i have been sick of all this press on jade goody. thousands, millions of people suffer from cancer everyday. good, caring people are dying every day, and they will never receive the amount of attention or special treatment jade goody has been getting. i don't know much about her, but i never liked her after hearing about her racist rants. in my opinion, she is a nobody. she is not an inspiration, she is not a role model. in fact, this may seem cruel, but her cancer is probably the karma from her antics in the past.



  28. 28

    OMG OMG OMG IF PARIS HILTON IS A PART OF TWILIGHT MY WORLD WILL BE OVER.
    NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO



  29. 29

    he could have not been so nasty about it but i kinda agree….the media is over doing it. Even U perez keep mentioning give her peace etc but it's not gonna happen unless the media lets up and stays away.

    enough is enough



  30. 30

    N*********E*******X*********T!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  31. 31

    I agree with the man. Bigger issues to worry about than a reality star dying. It's pathetic on so many levels.



  32. 32

    I'm not his biggest fan but he's got a point. Before she got cancer people actually hated her!



  33. 33

    Leave her alone! Regardless of what she's done, she's still dying!



  34. 34

    I just don't know what to think of all the media coverage. It's just too weird for me….

  35. Laila says – reply to this


    35

    SAME THING AS ANNA NICOLE SMITH. EVERYONE THOUGHT SHE WAS CRAZY RIDICULOUS AND HORRIBLE UNTIL SHE DIED….THEN SHE BECAME IDOLIZED. ITS STUPID…EITHER LOVE HER OR YOU DONT. DONT START TO LIKE SOMEONE JUST B/C THEY ARE DYING. HYPOCRITES!!



  36. 36

    It's true that a large number of people from the UK are ignorant, illiterate, uneducated drains on society. Jade Goody is a perfect example of the average Essex Bird.



  37. 37

    It's a circus - they should let die in peace. I agree with Noel and in reality he's not got anything bad to say about her…



  38. 38

    Even before the Shilpa Shetty situation, she was already a celebrity in the UK with various product lines and deals to her name, thanks to her original Big Brother gig.

    With that said: yes, this is a very sad situation, she is young, she's leaving a family. But she's not the only one. She just happens to be the one with the wherewithal to place herself in the public eye whilst going through this.

    If indeed it does cause more young women to get their smears and watch their health, then good. If more young men also get their prostates checked, good. If they remember to keep doing that in the years to come, then some actual good has come from the situation.

    My heart goes out to her family and especially her children. She's provided for them from her own misfortune; now it's time for privacy.

    [re=3544192]Re: >lefty lady lurves Simon Pegg



  40. 40

    I agree that the media attention is ridiculous, I don't wish her harm, but she is famous for nothing more than being a racist reality star.

  41. LilyV says – reply to this


    41

    I think she is brilliant to sell her story. 1st of all to make money to support her kids after she's gone and 2nd it helps raise awareness of this disease.



  42. 42

    I agree with him ….the media is hovering like a bunch of vulture's waiting for the end…fuck um all.



  43. 43

    he's right.
    the media needs to let her enjoy her last moments in peace



  44. 44

    This is very sad and i feel for her and fam. , but I get him…



  45. 45

    Michael knows Jade thru his brother who lived with her in the Big Brother house.

  46. pomme says – reply to this


    46

    i agree with him:all every one want to see is see a woman dying in live!



  47. 47

    I agree with him. In honesty, I neither like or dislike Jade and I have complete sympathy for her and her family as it's a tragic situation, but the coverage she's currently getting is ridiculous. She's not the only woman or person for that matter suffering from cancer so tragically, and the press coverage in the UK is getting so extreme, I know many people who are getting sick of hearing about it. We all wish her well and are sorry for the situation she is in, but seriously.. it's getting too much.



  48. 48

    Re: Aimee999 – Don't worry ,shes not in the movie,shes just blowing one of the "Grips"working on the movie



  49. 49

    I think it's too much hype and coverage…and I agree it's NOT that serious.



  50. 50

    Mom always said " If you can't can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all!", so here's goes, " She's almost dead, GOOD!"



  51. 51

    He's right, they're turning it into a circus. The poor girl is dying and just wants to be with her family and friends, the media needs to take a MAJOR step back.



  52. 52

    Noel's no master of charm and grace but I think he's got a point. Of course everyone feels badly for her and her family, but why so much news coverage? (From you, more than anyone, Perez.)



  53. 53

    Re: candycouture – I have to agree. She would be one of your "Z-Listers" that nobody cares about or doesn't know if she was healthy. The truth is, death sells and generates hits. Why does the news report EVERY SINGLE PLANE CRASH, as if every plane is never supposed to crash. And the whole "you're heartless if you don't care" defense doesn't work. It's sad, it's too bad she has to die, but that's life, not news, and I don't need minute-by-minute updates on every body part failing one at a time before she finally dies-which you can get if you go to Google and hit "news".

  54. JTine says – reply to this


    54

    If there isn't news coverage about every single person that is dying of cancer, why should this be made into such a big deal?
    Srsly.



  55. 55

    HES ABSOLUTELY CORRECT…
    ITS FUCKING GHOULISH THE WAY PEOPLE ARE WAITING AROUND FOR HER TO DIE, SO THEY CAN BE THE FIRST TO REPORT IT, OR GET THE FIRST SHOTS OF THEM BRINGING OUT HER BODY.
    BUT THATS THE MEDIA, AND THEY ARE SICK FUCKS



  56. 56

    it is most definitely an embarassment to Britain. But we got greasy Perez here doing the same.



  57. 57

    Oasis sux balls!



  58. 58

    he was wrong but right I mean let her die in peace and get on with everything else in the world I hope she gets to spend more time with her kids

  59. Java says – reply to this


    59

    It's disgusting, there're serious issues going on all around the world, there's people suffering a hundred times more than Goody is, and not making money of it.
    To have cancer doesn't make her a good person, I'm sorry for her, of course she going through something hard, but not the hardest thing ever. I'm totally with the Oasis wanker.



  60. 60

    he's got a point…people are dying of cancer everyday not just Jade Goody.



  61. 61

    This isn't Michael Jackson's first time at stepping on a dying person for publicity. A lot of you aren't old enough to remember a young, very courageous hemopheliac named Ryan White (look him up, it's worth it) who was dying of AIDS because of bad blood products back in the day. This boy and his mother has so much courage using his plight to put this out there. There were other people who befriended him, who didn't do so for publicity. Elton John was so taken with this kid that he became his friend, but Here comes Jackson and Donald Trump visiting the dying child, with the cameras rolling. Like they gave a shit about the kid. Like I said, look the kid up, he left a good legacy. Jackson can't die soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I thought he was sick?



  62. 62

    I AGREE
    but Wooeeee she signed her life to be filmed she is making money off her last days, while everyday she whines about privacy. That's gross.



  63. 63

    People need hope and people need to feel….people are angry and sad and Jade sums up a lot of that…people feel guilty for people who were mistreated…and many of those who came down on her are now trying to make an amends.
    We tend to give face to issues that are going on by focusing on a person who embodies that.
    She is a symbol of what is right..and what is wrong in these crazy times.
    She also, it appears, is handling this all with grace and dignity. Good for her!



  64. 64

    He's right! I mean, only celebs deserve to be remembered and loved as they die, right? Thought Noel is an ass, he's got a great point. The media (including Perez Hilton) just see's her as a story. They don't really care.



  65. 65

    While I empathize with Jade Goody and her family, I have a great deal more admiration for Patrick Swayze. He has pancreatic cancer and is managing to maintain a low profile in lieu of all the hype surrounding the British TV star.



  66. 66

    I say let her go…she's doing the media to provide for her boys when she's gone and besides that, she's bringing attention to Cancer….



  67. 67

    I for one want very much to read about her. I have like adopted her and pray for her every day. Most people feel the same but are ashamed to admit it. Otherwise the media would not lose its energy on Jade, they KNOW what sells. That Gallagher bloke seems a bit envious to me, all that attention that does not go to him, shame on him !



  68. 68

    All I have to say is all this Jade Goody bashing is horrible and all these people making all these hateful comments are disgusting. The woman is dying, is she not suffering enough? I cant believe how mean and hateful people are in this world.



  69. 69

    I KEEP REPEATING MYSELF ON THIS SUBJECT:

    this is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil for fame, celebrity & shit. THE DEVILS IS NOW LOOKING TO COLLECT. MY ADVICE NEXT TIME ASK THE DEVIL TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT UNTIL AT LEAST YOUR OLD AND GRAY….

    SHE IS A REALITY TV STAR…but he is right UK must be have absolutely nothing to do but LOOK AT USA we are bigger douches we made PARIS HILTON & NICOLE RICHIE….now when do you think the devil will come for them….

    ANYBODY…ANYBODY…ANYBODY



  70. 70

    I think you sort of missed the point of Noel's comments. They weren't against Jade at all. They were against the media. We're in a global economic crisis and the media continues to devote most of it's attention to stories that are there to distract us. Terrible things happen in the world everyday (to non famous people) that dont get reported on. Noel isn't a douche. He says what he thinks and feels which is extremely refreshing.



  71. 71

    i agree with him. oh and if she wanted to spend her last days privately, she shouldn't have put them on a reality tv show. end of story.



  72. 72

    agree with him,is the media outside the houses of all the other cancer patients?



  73. 73

    He is kind of right, but without the public living and breathing celeb and faux celeb's lives - you'd be a hostess at a Red Lobster.



  74. 74

    It is sad about Jade. I didn't even know who she was until she was dying though. People die everyday, I don't understand why its getting so much attention. I thoughts are with her, but I am not loving the minute updates. There are other far more important things going on in the world.



  75. 75

    I have absolutely no clue who Jade Goody is



  76. 76

    As a person who has dealt with this particular cancer (and goes to regular gynecological appointments so it was caught earlier on) I am so saddened and scared by her story and yet glad that someone has provided a spotlight on something that is generally disregarded as a threat (I have heard "Oh, well, it's just cervical cancer… it's alright, people don't die from that one..") It is CANCER and women need to take care of themselves. She served a very unfortunate but valuable purpose with this fame.
    Time to leave her alone and let her be with her loved ones in peace.
    To call the massive publicity surrounding her an embarrassment is uncalled for.



  77. 77

    Re: washout – thank you! i completly agree! it's pathetic people as thick as her make so much money and she's done nothing but be racist.



  78. 78

    Re: harrybalsac – Harry, Dook goes down again!!!



  79. 79

    BTW, never heard of Jade Goody until I read about her here, Perez. And I agree with Noel Gallagher.



  80. 80

    It's true but Noel Gallagher is the BIGGEST ASSHOLE EVER TO EXIST! Take all the biggest asshole in the states and mix them together and you get this douche.



  81. 81

    I have always though of Noel as an ignorant f*cktard anyway. So his opinion does not matter. He's just mad that he is a hasbeen.



  82. 82

    I agree with Noel. I was waiting for someone to say this! Mothers with cancer die all the time, so it isn't anything new if it happens to someone "famous", and really, how did she get so famous anyway if it wasn't for her racism? That's how I knew her anyway…



  83. 83

    It's sad that any young mother would have to face this with two small children, I am a mother, I could only imagine the helplessness she feels. But with that said….
    Noel Gallagher and Oasis are some of the finest musicians around. Total Abbey Road. I love the whole Beatles-esque vibe to their melodies….
    ok.enough about them.
    Just give the woman her privacy….oh wait she wants you in her business…carry on then…



  84. 84

    it sounds insensitive, but he's right.



  85. 85

    this time fucktard gallagher got that right; I'm sorry Jane Goody is dying of cancer, but let's not forget that she is no princess D.; the only reason she got famous was because of big brother and apparently the fact that she was ignorant as a donkey. sorry you're dying honey…but it's enough!



  86. 86

    I'm still trying to figure out who Jade Goody is…who is she? People die tragic deaths everyday, why is this one person getting so much coverage? I think it is terrible what she is going through, but all of this coverage is way too much.

  87. Sweet says – reply to this


    87

    Thank God someone said it. Instead of kissing her ass, like you do Perez. I think it's embarrassing. She's fame whoring all the way to the end.



  88. 88

    He's absolutely right. That woman has been vile her whole life and suddenly because she has cancer she's Princess Diana?? Uh no. People die of cancer everyday and no one says anything. She should be remembered for the way she lived (a life in which she was racist, disgusting and vile) not because she got cancer and miraculously redeemed herself. She makes me sick.



  89. 89

    Good riddance.



  90. 90

    i honestly don't even know who Jade Goody is. I'm sorry that she is dying but yeah, the media party is a bit much. especially for americans because she's not even one of our countrymen. though, i do get her trying to squeeze every $$ out of her last days in order to leave money for her two boys. that is just fine in my book.

    but i definitely wouldn't want all the media attention if it were me dying.



  91. 91

    Re: A Noun – #38 Yeah, it is sad that she's leaving a very young family. If she had not ignored three positive Pap smears there is a real good chance with a hysterectomy and a bit of chemo, or something similar she would be going about her merry life, and we wouldn't be on this blog vacillating between praying for her or hating her. The decision of her life was her responsibility, and she is now dealing with the repurcussions of her choice. There are people who fight some illnesses from day #1, fighting tooth and nail and doing everything they should and they still end up dying, so that's where it's unfair. This is just sad on so many levels.



  92. 92

    He's absolutely right. With all the problems we have, with all the people that die of cancer every day, why do we have to see this woman's struggle? Does it make a difference? does it bring awareness? No, it is just a nice page filler, only more distaste full.
    Octo-mum is worse though



  93. 93

    Noel who?? I think most Brits will concur he's a class A tosser.



  94. 94

    the death watch thing is pretty grotesque, but nothing new, the media has not had any sense of decency for decades now!

  95. SJB says – reply to this


    95

    I just don't get why she's so special? She was in a reality show? That's it? So millions of men, women and children are dying and have contributed just as much to the world and they don't get random money for pimping their final days on tv. I think she's being rewarded unjustly. What good on this earth has she done to deserve this saint status? Maybe share some of these prayers with other people dying across the world. Everyone acts like she's the first one to have cancer?!



  96. 96

    It's kinda funny that Oasis is only in the news only when he's badmouthing someone.

    Whatever. Oasis will be forgotten long before Jade Goody, obviously.



  97. 97

    Re: RedWingsFan – I hope not!
    shes such an attention seeker which is why she wants robert pattinson…i dont care if she dates him or whatever but I hope with all my might shes not in any of the movies!



  98. 98

    Re: washout – By the way the term you are referring to is called a Chav, not a charver, it means a low class person, who has no idea or taste!!!



  99. 99

    Too fucking right! Noel, you're a legend…people might think you're a douche, but you're saying what we're all thinking.
