I had, until this thread turned up. Please let her RIP. And let me R too

[RacerWelsh]

It's what she would have wanted............

[NathalieR]

Well she is dead so there's hardly going to be new news about her, is anyone surprised about that?

Do you ACTUALLY think he has spent even 1 second considering a statue to Jade? Awareness? Everybody knows about cancer. Donate to Marie Curie hospices or something.

Here's an example of Brown worrying about far more important things http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/article.as...ntid=150618295

OT

I think, after Jades death, the media would have loved Jeff to carry the torch and become the new focus, especially with the boys. If he'd played their game, we'd have seen several OK photoshoots by now and Jades name being dragged up.
I do think it's a lot to do with Jeff refusing to get drawn in and the fact the other pair left behind are pretty unappealing characters that has stopped her name being carried on in the media.

Technically she did leave a body of work behind, in the shape of several books. However the recent paperback release of Forever in My Heart seems to be selling very poorly so from a sales point of view the bubble seems to have burst.

As Omah pointed out, the Jade Goody charity seems to have been stillborn (thought newspapers have several times referred to it as though it existed); nothing wrong with Jade saying she would like to leave behind a 'charity foundation', but since she didn't make any financial provision for one there was nothing to build on. I just think it was a wish rather than a plan.

I disagree with those who say the thread is pointless or objectionable. I think he purpose of a media discussion forum is to discuss media-related matters, one of which is the way in which the death of a celebrity affects their media profile. Jade might be pleased to know that she does indeed resemble Diana, Princess of Wales in this respect. Since both of them were mainly famous for being famous, their media profile dwindled with astonishing speed after their death, in a way never likely to apply, for example, to Elvis or Michael Jackson.

That's a very good point. There was definitely an effort, post-Jade, to 'place' both Jack and Jackiey in the celeb media. Only no one liked either of them, so the papers and magazines have backed off, other than for car-crash stories. And Jeff has (very mercifully, for the children) refused to play.

That reminds me of :

November 23rd, 2008

http://www.newspostonline.com/nation...-2008112315526

Jade Goody’s memoirs has made it to the list of ‘Ten Of The Worst Selling Celebrity Autobiographies’.

The former Big Brother star’s ‘Jade: Catch a Falling Star’ was published on 15 September. It sold 5,586 copies sold, making 60,244.46 pounds.

Christopher Biggins’s ‘Just Biggins’ was published on 12 September. It sold 2,355 copies, making 29,990.96 pounds.

Ten Of The Worst Selling Celebrity Autobiographies are:

1. Alec Baldwin’s A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood

2. Marie Helvin’s The Autobiography

3. Brian Paddick’s Line of Fire,

4. Christopher Biggins’s Just Biggins

5. Trisha Goddard’s Trisha, As I Am

6. Frank Skinner’s Frank Skinner on the Road: Love, Stand-Up, Comedy and The Queen of the Night

7. Bill Oddie’s One Flew into the Cuckoo’’s Egg

8. Jade Goody’s Jade: Catch a Falling Star

9. Les Dennis’ Must the Show Go On

10. John Prescott’s Prezza: Pulling No Punches

..... and that was despite the cancer diagnosis - it took massive sympathetic media coverage of the subsequent "dramas" to rekindle "public" interest .....

[torchwood08]

Yes she has thank god, was sick to death of coming into this forum will all threads about "Goody"

[Stewing]

With respect ,she has no need to be "remembered" by anyone save her nearest and dearest.She was hardly "famous" for anything outside of "dying young ".Anything before that was mostly pointless or bad media.

Let her RIP. One less z listed celeb to be gawped over.

[DarthGore]

it's as simple as this, she was a talentless nobody who became famous for simply being thicker than treacle!

she died, everyone moved on, and no-one laments those who meant nothing to the celebrity obsessed culture that we have in this world.... sorry Jackiey, but your daughter won't be remembered in 5 years time by anyone other than yourself... shame, but she really was becoming a waste of ink (unless you worked for Hello/OK)

shamefully i bought biggins biography
unshamefully i gave it to oxfam

Yes technically she also left tv shows behind not to mention footage of a very public funeral procession but the point I was getting at is she is hardly likely to be mentioned all the time now either in forums or in the media unlike michael jackson who has unreleased music,a film/documentry and so is still discussed a lot.

I say pointless thread because the OP clearly had not forgotten her,omah clearly has not forgotten her and while people claim to have forgotten her its simply a case that because she is no longer with us she is like most other dead celebs/zelebs not mentioned as often as when alive.
when did this forum last discuss farrah fawcet or wendy richards?

Its like me starting a thread to say is wendy richards forgotten about,then i could open a thousand other threads asking the same thing about those who have died and not been mentioned in forums lately.

I have to say Omahs articles are hardly a reliable source for truth or fairness on jade goody,but I dont want to go down the route of singling out one fm so I will just say those that ask or say she is forgotten seem to have a lot of dislike for somebody that is apparently forgotten.

I didnt like Jade but the vilification and hatred is seriously messed up when people cannot let go after she died.

Your a wise person wonkey so I know you can see the difference between a cheeky thread to provoke and a thread that will discuss and create good debate.
As always I respect your opinion but I think in this case the thread was pointless.

If you are able to identify more reliable (free) sources, I would be very grateful for the links - I will incorporate them into my collation .....

But people did offer you links when she was alive Omah and you refused to acknowledge them because you openly admitted your intense dislike for her.
You do not give a fair balanced viewpoint or post fair and balanced articles...we have had this conversation before and as I recall you told me you admit to that.

Just think about this..a year from now I could post a link to an article from the sun saying gately died from drugs and drink..I could post up the homophobic comments from the mail speculating on his death or I could post a link that said Liverpool football fans did unspeakable things to dead bodies at hillsborough.
None of it would be true but I could always use those links to try and vilify someone.

What links were they ?

I believe it's called a viewpoint - you have one, too .....

Many of the articles were, of course, "planted" by Goody's PR team, particularly in the later stages of her life by MCA, LivingTV and Matrix Photos .....

IMO, any link is better than none .....

They were positive links that people asked why you had not posted them during the time when the bb forum was in chaos with wall to wall goody threads,..if you check back on those threads im sure you will come across the posts.

Is it a viewpoint?
Most of your posts dont enter into debate or opinion as such,they are simply articles posted for others to use as an attack...If you want to post these inaccurate stories then that is fine but you need to accept some will see those links as unfair and unreliable which is how I described your articles in an earlier post.

Any link is better than none?
Do you really believe that?
Personally I prefer no story to one thats made up,completely inacurate and created to vilify someone.
Im not sure most of Liverpool would agree with you that the Hillsborough disgusting fantasyland storyline in the sun was better than no headline.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to. He seems to be trying to slimly make money from Jackson's death by 'claiming' he'd get in touch with Michael. This man really is prepared to sink to new lows by, in my opinion, falsely claiming that he can get in touch with Michael from beyond the grave. He ended up looking like a complete joke on Most Haunted, and yet, here he is claiming that he can get in touch with spirits of the dead. Pfft, honestly.

Hi,

The difference between Farrah Fawcett and Wendy Richards deaths IMO is that neither death was in any way as public as Jades, and there was a lot of speculation at the time that statues would be named after her, merchandise would fly off the shelves, charities would be set up in her name, that she would become an icon to people ill with cancer. Yet none of this has happened yet and may never happen. She is not being held up as a deity in death.

I respect your opinion and you make a fair point, but I think this is valid for discussion.

Obviously since she's dead, things have quietened down, but there seems to be little about her in the papers anymore. I wonder how her books or other merchandise are selling?

It seems like after her death, in the long term she isn't being held up as an example of how to live your life, which is the right thing IMO.

Of course things are going to quiten down - she's dead.

she's hardly going to appear on loose women tommorow is she?

Acorah, has skin as thick as a rhino's - Christian O'Connell was openly mocking yesterday morning on Absolute radio, and it was like water off a duck's back - probably because the charlatan is coining it whatever people think of him.
And yes, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this "sceance" turns into a spin off series where he contacts Jade Goody among others - I bet he's busy going through back issues of The Sun as we speak to see what "facts" he can pick up about her!

[mikebuk]

We tried to forget her, thanks for sticking that image back in our heads.
