gordon is quite unattractive - i think many people both gay and straight would agree with that fact...

He seems quite insecure and insincere and trying to ride a publicity wave.

what a small pathetic man. he should steer clear of making judgments on peoples appearance. he doesn't even qualify as a poster boy for 'below average looks'.

also someone should teach him that being a lesbian isn't an insult. if that had of been substituted with any other minority/religious/ethnic affiliation (eg. jew) - he would have been completely condemned for being a bigot.

Of course she is NOT gay. She is marrying Ian Thorpe. Isn't she?

Why isn't this story of interest to you? I think it is interesting.
There are lots of issues behind this story.
(a) celebrity abuse of power
(b) journalistic integrity
(c) using the *accusation* of homosexuality as an insult
(d) sexism
(e) private confidence/felt betrayal/public front
Just because this story doesn't involve a homosexual male doesn't make it boring, Gary.

they're both tools. aca is the pantheon of bullying, arrogant tactics. like jon saffran having a go at ray martin: if you stick your finger in the ring, prepare to have it coming out smelling of shit.

One day it will not be considered an insult or a slander to be called a 'lesbian' or 'gay'.

Have they refused to apologize in writing (have they stated they refuse to apologize in writing?) Who is Channel 9? The unit producers of The Footy Show? Their legal team? The CEO of Nine? Who refuses to apologize? What are their names?

Indeed. As the saying goes, he looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

The fact of the matter is that his entire career is not based on food, but on shock tactics. This is just another one and, as far as he is concerned, there would be nothing more shocking than being called gay. Genius, he ain't.

yeah so crass humor is very much part of his act and the audience obviously love it

the interview where he was talking about her mole was a bit weird and no wonder she hates him

let them fight it out themselves, i guess

Go Tracey!!! I'm so impressed by her response. Ramsey is clearly an arsehole, and I'm glad that she did'nt just take it lying down. And on a related topic... why is it straight men think everyone finds them attractive? It's really quite the opposite. They need to get a clue!

Julia Gillard's comments about Ramsey in SMH are gold!!

Ms Gillard said Ramsay's tirade showed bad manners and bad taste.

"I understand from the publicity that Gordon Ramsay is a good chef," Ms Gillard said.

"I think perhaps what he should do is confine himself to the kitchen and make nice things for people to eat rather than make public comments about others."

Gordon's cult of personality publicity machine has gone into overdrive, his ego has compelled him to defame Tracey out of insecure self-aggrandisement. What's worse, he has chosen language that historically has been used in war-time propaganda films to demonize & kill Jews in the Holocaust, language that has been used to attack the obese to support unrealistic & dangerous body images, women derided for being working mothers & lesbians for simply being attracted to the same sex.
If Gordon Ramsay really meant for his comments to be a joke he would've delivered his rant with a playful disclaimer at his own expense. There was no double entendre, no mirthful *I'm only joking* feel in his tone of voice & no sense of his rant being a friendly 'roast'. His language was insulting, his intent was clear: the man should shut up & be grateful for all the support ACA & Tracey Grimshaw has given him in the past.

It ain't trawling - it's vox pop 'outsourcing' in print.

Shes a bitch and hes a tosser... I reckon they both enter the UFC octagon and thrash it out. Even better celebrity death match, altho they are both really talentless hacks using shock tactics to market themselves... maybe they should get hitched and create mini assholes.
