[beorhthelm]

Sod the alleged racism, can people please stop referring to MVP as an acronym?!

Do we know if the OB are investigating her ?

Then things get even more weird

Robbie Williams explains why he's a monkey in his new movie

Better Man tells the story of Robbie Williams' life, with him portrayed by a CGI monkey.

www.bbc.co.uk

And wrong. He's a chimpanzee in the movie, not a monkey.

Why is he a chimpanzee exactly? What does it mean?

Yeah, but this is very obviously PR horseshit.

"Quite often Rob will say, 'I'm just like a performing monkey' or 'I'm up the back like a performing monkey'.

"It just sparked this idea of, we've got this chance to tell this story, not from the perspective of how we see Rob, but how he sees himself.

"And so I pitched the idea to Rob. I said, 'You know, if you were to be an animal, how would you see yourself?'"

Williams takes up the story: "I was looking for some self-worth at the time and I was like, 'I am a lion'. And he just cocked his head and went, 'Mmmm.'

"I went, 'Monkey?'

"And he went, 'Yeah, so here's the idea.' And before the end of the sentence was out of his mouth, I'm like, 'Yes, that, that, that, please'."


Or in other words, they needed a gimmick to make it stand out against the dozens of other musical biopics, about an artist largely unknown in America. But that doesn’t make good press copy, I suppose.

He should dress up as a twat

If you commentate enough you're bound to say something dumb eventually.

As long as there's not a pattern in her history, move on

She played cricket for England and is a sports commentator and radio cricket broadcaster , and she doesn`t know what MVP stands for , tell us another

 

[BadFish]

The simplest answer here seems to be a slip of the tounge, caused by the mind numbing dullness of commentating on cricket.

She apologies let's move on.

Or we could ban cricket...
