Guest Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 one mintue she's on TV advertising cheap, rubbishy food for Farmfoods (including a mention for Bernard Matthews grrr). Now she's on 'This Morning' plugging her new book about healthy eating! what a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was an intelligent woman, she's just a money grabber. Makes me sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I thought she was an intelligent woman, she's just a money grabber. Makes me sick. My sentiments exactly! And her looks have changed so much - she used to just look normal, now she's looks like a "celebrity" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 She has no dress sense though It was either Friday or Monday on Countdown she was wearing the most awful dress far too short and it had spots at the top and bottom and a kind of swirl thing going on in the middle mad me feel ill to watch it moving it was beige and black very nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Rob Brydon annoyed me before Christmas by doing voiceovers for Pot Noodle & another ethical food ad (can't remember which ) La Vorderman is in danger of turning into a Caricature of herself I am afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right. She got a third in her first degree - so not all that bright! But when I saw her on 'Who do you think you are?' (I wasn't looking forward to hers!) she came across really well. She seemed pleasant and friendly, but ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicano Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Didn't she get the sack from Tomorrow's World years ago for being in a Persil ad? They didn't like the idea that the association might make her appear like a scientist endorsing the washing powder. I definitely agree over the First Plus thing - I could never endorse products like that (in the unlikely event that anyone would want me too!) I did think she came across well in the episode of Who Do You Think You Are though. Seemed quite normal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) ..when I saw her on 'Who do you think you are?' (I wasn't looking forward to hers!) she came across really well. She seemed pleasant and friendly, but ordinary.[/color] I was about to say the same Ginette. I guess this was the real Carol we saw, although I still thought her dress sense was a bit off. That white flowing thing - I don't think suited her at all. I think she dresses a bit too young for her age. She must have got caught up in the 'sleb hype' to dress and look the way she does on TV. I wonder why she chose to do those ad's. She can't possibly need the money with all her book sales and regular TV work? I especially hate the celeb's who get roped into doing the Tesco ad's. And Morrisons for that matter. There's someone else we were talking abouot the other night who has sold his soul to the devil and done a really unethical ad - can't think who now.... Edit - I've remembered. George Clooney. He was spotted in a Nestle advert in one of the newpaper suppliments. It really surprised us, as he's known for his ethical political beliefs.

Guest Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 it does beggar belief doesn't it?! If I was famous, there's no way I would sacrifice my principles for money and if I were asked to do an ad, I'd research the product first.

Lesley Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 If they appear as themselves then I feel annoyed at some of them as well - voiceovers are a different matter as sometimes it is just someone who is taking off the celeb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I guess as long as you don't say this is X person you can sound however you like. Apparently there is a huge amount of money to be made in voice over ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Apparently there is a huge amount of money to be made in voice over ads. Indeed there is. My lovely next door but one neighbour is an 'actor' he does loads of voice overs and appearing in ads. he gets a lot of money for doing it, he says it is so much better paid than theatre work, he also gets royalties every time they repeat the ad. He played Colonel Locket in the Lockets ads a couple of years ago, he virtually paid off his mortgage and had a fancy new conservatory built Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Funny I've got a friend who does that too- she's from a very showbiz family and does voice-over work to put her kids through private school. At the mo she is the voice of the Olay ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
