Strawberry blondes forever
Fri, 11/03/2011 - 16:36 by Harry Bow

Karen Gillan has revealed that she was bullied at school because she was tall and had red hair, which seems as stupid as teasing Warren Buffet because he has too much money. Lovely Karen Gillan, how dare anyone be cruel to her...

According to the Red Hair Wikipedia entry (which is fascinating, BTW), only 1-2 per cent of the entire population have ginger hair... We can't really do the math, but we know that 100 per cent of HM's top two most popular women have copper hair (Gillan and Christina Hendricks) so we think the correct statistical conclusion is that if you have red hair you have a higher chance of being attractive, right?

 

As some sort of proof, we've compiled our top ten favourite redheads. We wanted to avoid turning it into a 'here's some people we could think of' list - a bit like the celebrity mum of the year poll we got emailed earlier this week which included mother-of-two-months Rachel Stevens (and the Queen!), so we've stripped out some of the obvious gingers - that's farewell to you Scully. No Florence, Lily Cole or Lohan either, ha.

 

  • 1) Karen Gillan
  • 2) Christina Hendricks
  • 3) Nicola Roberts
  • 4) Julianne Moore
  • 5) Deborah Ann Woll
  • 6) Isla Fisher
  • 7) Karen Elson
  • 8) Emma Stone
  • 9) Jenny Lewis
  • 10) Olivia Hallinan

  • Tori Amos always did it for me. *runs off to youtube, and returns some minutes later*. Yep, still does.

  • You, Tesco, have wisdom (and experience) beyond your years. I hope you and Mr Pops are not doing the hate sex on this level. Unless you have had a spat over the remote re your recent purchase. In which case, I'm sure the making up is way better than looking pointlessly at the technical specifications booklet for your new screen.

  • I bet they did it in real life and that's why the hate. Nothing makes you hate like having sex with someone you don't particularly like anyway, then having to see them every day at work/social situation. God, I'd love to hate David Duchovny in a 'because we did it' way. She must also hate him now because he is aging magnificently well. God. What a fitt-o.

  • I loved all that stuff. The day I discovered she hated David and he hated her was the day I realised that the world was a very, very confusing place.

  • It's the same as yours. Big pockets. Grubby lapels.

  • I love redheads especially Karen G

    Should have included the lickable Lyndsay Lohan rather than Isla Fisher who looks about 50 though.

  • Yey Sugar Rush! I watched the entire 2 series back to back after my momentous split from Mr Britain and it made me want to travel back in time and be a teenage lesbian.

  • Wot, no Scully?

    tescopop Fri, 11/03/2011 - 17:28
  • i predict i'll be on lighting for about 2 minutes. Then it would be joining in with the red-head appraisal. And a "happy ending" for all

    bojangles Fri, 11/03/2011 - 17:25
  • Well, not so much the bits and bobs. I think that would hurt. But I think she needs to know she's lovely. And clearly despite every piece of media coverage of her being from an entirely positive angle (other than some nasty swipes regarding her ability to actually act and stuff) this has not left her with the self confidence she needs. So a bit of one-to-one time showing her that being a natural ginger is just fine is all surely we can do? And I offer myself up as that person. With Bojangles on lighting.

    stella ah trois Fri, 11/03/2011 - 17:13
  • if those "efforts" include the mutual devouring of female bits and bobs i should be tremendously supportive

    bojangles Fri, 11/03/2011 - 17:04
  • Will do. Thanks. God this 'place' is so supportive of one's efforts.

    stella ah trois Fri, 11/03/2011 - 17:00
  • if you need someone to do the lighting, or provide catering through the morning then give me a shout, Stella.

    bojangles Fri, 11/03/2011 - 16:48
  • No! I can give her the counselling she needs. A bit late in the day for lesbian hour since I've got Slug's needs to deal with over the next 48 hours or so. But if she can wait until Monday around 10.30 to 11.00, I can show her that her colouring is perfect and peachy and lovely and everything. Will even put some tooth picks in my make up bag just in case.
