Just wondering if anyone has seen Star Stories on Channel 4. I missed the first one (Posh & Becks), but the second (George Micheal) and third (Catherine Zeta Jones) episodes were both very funny. It's a little bit like Rock Profiles. A lot of the cast seem familiar but I can't quite put my finger on where I've seen them before.

Personally, I think it is an unfunny version of Rock Profiles, as it fails to be neither affectionate or savage enough (with the exception of Sir Alex Ferguson - portraying him in the Beckham story as a homo-erotic drunkard) towards it's targets.

I think the intent is to be 'affectionately savage' because it's not only lampooning celebrity, it is also lampooning the sychophantic 'celeb magazines' like "Hello" and "OK" who just totally arse-lick celebrities, so it kinda has to do the affection and the nastiness..... The nastiness mainly comes in with the so-very-obviously-fake 'impersonators' who dont even attempt to be anything like their real-life counterparts....

 

But I do agree that it's not as good as "Rock Profiles"....

 

D+V Beckham one was $h!t, last week's was better

 

But this weeks was quite decent

I did like the George Michael one :lol: It's the only one I've seen, but it made me chuckle so I'm not complaining about it ^_^

thought it is c**p tbh....

i wanted to watch it as mick hucknell was funny on the advert. forgot to record it

Who was on last night, I missed it :( :angry:

 

They're getting funnier and funnier too :(

mm...the Madonna one wasn't too good - French and Saunders did Madonna far better many moons ago....

I am a huge Rock Profile fan.

 

This is OK. The mock interviews on their website are funnier than the show itself.

 

When they ask 'George Michael' what his biggest regret was he said: 'It was calling that song 'Too Funky'. It wasn't too funky - it was $h!t'
