  • Christopher Biggins: Loose Women Are “Mean Girls”

    The somewhat controversial Christopher Biggins, king of Panto and all that, has said that his friendship with Katie Hopkins has cost him his friendship with some of the Loose Women.

    Despite his glowing review of Katie Hopkins as, “one of the nicest, funniest people” his friendship with the former Celebrity Big Brother house, former ex-Apprentice and gay icon wannabe has not been accepted by the Loose Women camp.

    Huffington Post reports Mr. Biggins said:

    “I’ve lost several pals over my friendship with Katie – especially the ‘Loose Women’ lot. None of them will talk to me anymore.”

    He added, rather defiantly:

     “I don’t care – they can act like ‘Mean Girls’ all they want.

    “I’ve been friends with Katie for a long time.”

    Katie Hopkins appeared on the day time show after her ratings busting appearance on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother in January and was taken to task by Janet Street Porter and the rest of the presenters on her comments about Coleen Nolan’s sister.

    In 2013 Christopher Biggins caused outrage when, in an interview with The Big Issue he suggested that Bisexuals “ruin women’s lives”. He said, “I think the people who fear homosexuality most are the ones who could be gay. The world is full of bisexuals because that’s the way they want to do it. What do they do? They ruin a woman’s life. It’s so wrong, because you’re not owning up to what you are. You lead a double life so how can you be a real person?”

  • Katie Hopkins Is NOT A Gay Icon, Overtones Rage Over The Thought

    In their most recent interview with THEGAYUK, The Overtones were dismayed at the thought of Katie Hopkins being a gay icon.

    The Overtones who have just celebrated a top 10 album with Sweet Soul Music, have decried the notion that Katie Hopkins is a gay icon. In their HOW GAY IS? Interview with THEGAYUK, Timmy Matley was asked whether he thought Katie Hopkins was a gay icon… “No… in any shape or form,” was his strong denial of her credentials to being a gay icon. The Overtones have three out and proud gay members, Timmy, Lachie and Mark.

    Taking to Twitter numerous times, Katie has tried to stake her claim as a gay icon. One of Katie’s tweets earlier in the year outlines her potential credentials of being a gay icon saying:

    “…ambition is to be a gay icon, Hence I wear tan tights with silver shoes (not working x).”

    Last month THEGAYUK asked Kavana whether KH had what it takes to be an icon and his response was much more positive.

  • Kavana: Katie Hopkins is a GAY ICON

    In a recent interview, Kavana agreed that Celebrity Big Brother runner-up Katie Hopkins is a gay icon.

    Katie Hopkins, who came runner up to Katie Price in Celebrity Big Brother, has often maintained that it is her ambition to become a gay icon, has received the thumbs up from openly gay singer Kavana.

    When asked if Katie could achieve her dream of becoming a gay icon, Kavana said, “oh course, she was wearing Hot Pink and American tan tights last night…”

    Katie, the controversial former Apprentice Star went into the Celebrity Big Brother house as the ‘most hated woman in Britain’ however managed to win over millions of fans, achieving second place to Katie Price.

    Kavana also backed Alexandra O’Neal after he used an anti-gay slur against Perez Hilton, before removing himself from the Big Brother house earlier in the series. He called Perez a “silly assed f*ggot”.

    Speaking on This Morning last week he said, “I’m gay. [O’Neal] didn’t make homophobic remarks,” Kavana said. “It just came out, but he was pushed and pushed and pushed.

    “When someone is sat opposite you doing certain things – I won’t go into the action Perez did – but I think he was wise and clever to walk and not put up with it anymore. I respect him for that.”

    Kavana also said that he was planning to work with Alexander on some new material as well as being the wedding singer at Katie Prices forthcoming wedding.

  • Perez likens Katie Hopkin’s isolation tactic like AIDS epidemic of the 80s

    Perez upsets Michelle Visage after he likens the isolation he’s felt by Katie Hopkins to AIDS in the 80s.

    Another day another argument between Katie Hopkins and Perez Hilton, but after likening the isolation he’s experienced by Katie’s anti-Perez campaign, Perez stated his outrageous claim that he feels like he’s been “diagnosed with AIDS in the early 80s and she was trying to get everybody to be afraid of me and ostracise me”.

    This angers RuPaul Drag Race judge Michelle Visage who shouts, “Having lost 20 plus friends to AIDS, that is a bit extreme!”

    The AIDS crisis ravaged the gay community in the US and across the world killing thousands of people during the 80s and 90s. Across the world, AIDS has been attributed to over 39 million HIV-related deaths.

    Perez continues to talk about how he has been “traumatised” by the Big Brother experience.

    Earlier in the series Perez offended many viewers by saying that the removal of actor Ken Morley was like being free from cancer.

    Celebrity Big Brother tonight from 8pm on Channel 5 and one more Housemate will be evicted.

  • Katie Hopkins And Michelle Visage Becoming Bossom Buddies

    Katie Hopkins and Michelle Visage seem to be getting on very well, as Visage says she was instantly drawn to the former Apprentice star.

    Katie Hopkins has never been shy about wanting to be a gay icon and well, she’s appears to be learning from one of the best in the form of Michelle Visage.

    Talking to Big Brother, Michelle says, she is surprised who she has connected with in the house and says that Katie Hopkins is the biggest surprise. She says that they ‘were instantly drawn to each other’ and that they have the same sense of humour and that they are ‘so similar in so many ways’.

    The pair have also bonded over their dislike for Perez Hilton, who Visage has called out numerous times for setting back the gay community fifty years. During yesterday’s debate task Perez called Katie Hopkins homophobic, which caused Katie to explode, screaming “don’t ever call me homophobic, that’s the one thing I’m not..” and Michelle criticised Perez for his use of the word.

  • Perez: Katie Hopkins Is What I Used To Be

    Perez critcises Katie Hopkins by saying she is now what he used to be, are we seeing a Perez 2.0?

    During a task, in which the housemates have to debate, Big Brother asks: “Does anyone in the House take themselves too seriously”? RuPaul Drag Race judge Michelle Visage says that they take things too personally but not seriously. Katie Hopkins says that she won’t talk to Perez unless she’s told to by Big Brother. Perez asks if that is a threat or a promise and that her bullying will not hurt him and remarks that Katie Hopkins said that he has back fat.

    Katie Hopkins says that he does have back fat and that you can see it as he is always wearing spandex. Nadia comments that Katie’s mentioning of people’s physical attributes weakens her argument. Perez finishes by saying to the group about Katie Hopkins: “She’s what I used to be.”

    Katie Hopkins is famed for her ‘tell it like it is’ persona, which has left her open to criticism. She was slammed last year when she used fat jibes against Gemma Collins, when the TOWIE star entered the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Jungle.

  • Katie Hopkins Will Step On Perez Like A Small Fly

    Ooooft, it’s all going on the Big Brother house and after an incident today, Katie Hopkins has made her feelings about Perez Hilton very, very clear.

    Perez Hilton will from now on feel the wrath from gay icon wannabe Katie Hopkins, after she screamed at him to be quiet, which brought the celebrity blogger to tears. It all happened when Perez confronted Ken about his behaviour in the house that infuriates Katie. Perez further felt Katie’s anger when he questioned her about sleeping with her now husband when he was still married to a previous woman. Needless to say, Katie was not happy about her actions being questioned.

    Enough is enough: Katie Hopkins silences Perez with a hand, letting him know that she has had enough of his voice and his opinions.

    Reduced To Tears: Perez tries to answer back but Hopkins’ acid tongue silences and reduces him to tears.

    Gleeful: Katie tells Big Brother that she’d like to step on Perez like a small fly.

    Later on, Katie tells Big Brother that today’s task made Perez look like “a dingbat” and admits that she is not likely to ever get on with him. She then likens him to a “small fly that I will step on, and will be removed from this House, hopefully by my hand. I’ll be pleased to see him go”

  • Gemma Collins Thinks Katie Hopkins Is Lesbian For Her

    Gemma Collins has finally, and at last, squared up to Katie Hopkins, only to suggest that she is Lesbian.

    In a Tweet, Gemma Collins has finally spoken out against motor mouth Katie Hopkins, by questioning her sexuality, saying, “I swear Katie Hopkins fancies me !! Omg why does she keep going on about me she’s an actual bully keep bringing my name up ! Come see me”

    Fellow openly gay TOWIE celeb Bobby Norris jumped in on the conversation by tweeting, “I can’t help but feel Katie Hopkins is obsessed with @missgemcollins ..She is clearly one very unhappy individual #CBB”

    Whilst Gemma was in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, gay icon wannabe, Katie, plunged into a tirade against Gemma and her size, which caused many people to criticise the former apprentice star and branding her a bully and cyber troll.

    In a column for THEGAYUK celebrity life coach Sloan Sheridan-Williams, said, “Katie Hopkins has chosen put herself in the limelight and present herself as someone who preys on those with obvious faults in order to make a name for herself and that she has successfully done, but the people she chooses to talk about are human and have feelings.’

    Katie, who is currently starring Celebrity Big Brother will escape the public vote next week, after only receiving one nomination from Nadia in the face-to-face nominations.

  • Katie Hopkins, Gay Icon Wannabe, Blasted For Fat Jokes About Gemma Collins

    Katie Hopkins is well known for her snarky remarks and quips, however the gay icon wannabe has gotten herself into hot water after blasting I’m A Celebrity’s Gemma Collins for being fat.

    Katie Hopkins has made no secret about wanting to be a gay icon along the likes of Madonna, Kylie or Bette Midler, however after a tirade of abuse aimed at Gemma Collins in I’m A Celebrity, her cause might be sullied somewhat.

    Taking to Twitter numerous times, Katie has tried to stake her claim as a gay icon, however that stake is looking more and more unlikely after hundreds of Gemma Collins fans have shown their outrage of the ex Apprentice’s fat jibes and trolling comments. One of Katie’s tweets earlier in the year outlines her potential credentials of being a gay icon saying, ‘…ambition is to be a gay icon, Hence I wear tan tights with silver shoes (not working x).’

    Gemma Collins, who made her name in the reality TV series, The Only Way Is Essex, has publicly battled with her weight for years. She entered the Jungle on Sunday evening, but walked from the show after deciding that ‘ jungle life is not for her’.

    Jake Hook, co- founder of TheGayUK said, ‘The idea that Katie wants to be a “gay icon” whatever that might mean is ridiculous, those people who have found a place in the collective LGBT community’s heart like Madonna, or Bette, have got there because their positivity towards the LGBT community and strong anti-bullying stances, not latching on to old clichés of what gay men would want from their “gay icons,” or the clear bullying that Katie is so prolific in.’

    Speaking to TheGayUK about Gemma’s departure from the Jungle, leading celebrity life coach Sloan Sheridan Williams said, ‘In terms of public perception, it may appear Gemma Collins has not done herself any favours with such a swift departure from the jungle, but as a therapist I cannot say I am surprised as there are obviously deep seated reasons behind her behaviour which I think warrant compassion rather than judgement.

    ‘An educated commentary on her with relevance to why she left, her naivety or any other general form of discussion and constructive advice on how to overcome her issues that goes with the very nature of being in the public eye is acceptable, but these constant attacks on Gemma’s weight are no doubt having a further damaging effect on her and teenagers everywhere and exacerbating a generation that is already obsessed with weight and body image.

    ‘I would have liked to have seen Katie Hopkins to draw on the fact she is a mother and not open the floodgates to more media attention on weight issues and focus on the heart of the matter which is that Gemma let her fears get the better of her. Gemma had a moment of weakness, she wanted comfort over proving herself to be the next Bear Grylls. That’s all.’
