Rupert Everett must be a publicist’s nightmare, says Deborah Ross in The Times. Now 65, in his 2004 memoir, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins, the actor claimed “Piers Morgan is hung like a budgie”, Julia Roberts smells “vaguely of sweat”, and that Madonna, who he described as a “a whiny old barmaid”, hasn’t spoken to him since. He says Sharon Osbourne ”looks insane” after botox. And he claims he was put off weight-loss drugs after seeing what they did to Robbie Williams.

@kibcol1049 I had a family member in the music biz. I have heard many, many things about Sharon Osbourne, none of them good.

@nigelharpur @kibcol1049 I was told she is Democratic. She treats everyone terribly.

@sullybiker @kibcol1049 ah yes, well balanced, with a chip on both shoulders 😁

@nigelharpur @kibcol1049 The music biz can be weird. A lot of dysfunctional people in it and i can see how someone no-nonsense would rub everyone up the wrong way, but at the same time, mean is mean.

@sullybiker @kibcol1049 yeah exactly. Spent about 20 years doing stage monitoring, god knows how many tours and gigs. At the end of the day an arsehole is still just another arsehole regardless of fame or talent. I worked for some wonderful people but a few absolute stinkers too! Nicest person in the universe ever was BB King, bless him!

@nigelharpur @kibcol1049 My brother in law worked in a rehearsal and equipment studio as a backline tech. He said much the same thing.

@nigelharpur @sullybiker @kibcol1049 The trouble is that our society excuses arseholes for reasons of wealth or fame. Whereas ordinary people soon learn that being an arsehole loses them friends.
