I find Nepo baby an interesting concept. This isn’t a new phenomenon. Jamie Lee Curtis is a nepo baby. Kiefer Sutherland too. Carrie Fisher, Liza Minnelli, there must be more, I can’t think right now. I wonder what qualifies someone as a nepo baby?

Genuine question from me, I see it all the time but not sure I understand the difference between those names and say Riley Keogh (Elvis’s granddaughter) or Johnny Depp’s daughter, who both have skill in their field but happen to have followed into entertainment as their families did before them.

Theres 2 camps with nepo babies though. Those who genuinely have talent like JLC and Kiether and Liza and those who get put forward because of their surname and who mummy and daddy know.
Maybe the 1st group.started out like this too but proved their talent?

I have no feelings on Kemi Badenoch bar my general distaste for politicians but there are far too many celebrity men getting too handy going after women while hiding behind allegedly progressive causes.

BBC article for a bit more context:

Rishi Sunak backs Kemi Badenoch in David Tennant row

The prime minister says Tennant is "the problem" after the actor says Ms Badenoch should "shut up".

I do wonder if trans people just trying to live their lives get sick of being used as props and sticks to beat people with.

I think at least 1 of Tenants children are NB and 1 quite young one identifies as a different gender to what they were born as.

This just perfectly sums up what a self important, aggressive little wanker he is. "You will have to go through me" because I'm such a morally superior big tough bloke, and I will single handedly prevent something from happening if I deem it unacceptable. Absolute prick, and the typical snivelling preachy bloke who will self ID as a feminist whilst actively sneering at and silencing any women who dare to express an opinion he doesn't like.

The delusion is nuts, for anyone to show off that level of self importance.
 
Sometimes Twitter just kills me:

Nepobaby…so what?
It happens all the time. You can’t get a job in lots of factories (especially car ones) unless your dad works there. Same with the docks. I worked with a big British company and lots of people only got a job because of Daddy.
If I could get my kids a job in my office I would do it.
The difference is that in many jobs you need to be able to do the job and if you couldn’t then you were out on your ear and Daddy was a laughing stock.
Kiefer, Liza, Carrie all had talent and knew what hard work in that area meant.
Brooklyn Beckham.. talentless.
Anais..not the right shape for a model.
I think a nepo baby is one who has no talent but thinks they should succeed because of their parents.

He can duck off. He’s an actor. He knows nothing. He’s part of a modern phenomenon of famous people trying to lecture others about things they have no expertise in.
I’m with Ricky G - you are in no position to lecture anyone.

I think we all try to lecture others on things that we have no expertise in don’t we? I’ve been yelling at the telly for the last two hours watching the BBC Debate but I’m not a political expert. Mr Flamingo watches football and cricket and becomes an expert.

Famous or not, I think we all do it. Tattle is full of it, every single thread. I have no opinion on what DT said or what KB said in reply but I don’t think it’s limited to famous people. Everyone has an opinion these days. Including me 😜
 
Enjoying all the David Tennant hate. He’s been getting on my tits for quite some time 🥰

a nepo baby is someone who has used (consciously or unconsciously) their parents connections to give them an opening into an industry they otherwise wouldn’t have had. Which is all of them, talented or not and ‘talent’ is debatable when they’ve had access to the best acting coaches/agents/mummy and daddy’s director friends. I can’t blame them for wanting to follow parents into the same job or even parents for pushing their offspring. Doesn’t mean I have to like it and it permeates every single section of society.

Do we really need to know what the locals call him? If the people he arrests have broken the law then so what if they think he’s tough with his enforcement, that’s their bad luck. Stay within the law then he won’t come down tough on you

As you say it smells of Timberlake’s team trying to organise a pile on and poor lickle Timberlake got told off by the nasty man

I can’t believe Timberlale and Biel haven’t gone public with their separation yet. Surely this latest incident must force her hand…

She just so happened to be spotted at one of his concerts 'looking lovingly' at him so I doubt it.

There's got to be loads of other producers she could have worked with. He's a PR disaster.

There are but she doesn't care. Seemingly her whole team told her it was a really bad idea saying she could not claim to be promoting female empowerment while working with a guy who has been accused of abuse and worse. It's not the first time she has shown herself to be a hypocrite when claiming to be a feminist and likely won't be the last.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Anais Gallagher was named after Anais Nin, the erotic writer....

I remember when she was born and they said she was named after the perfume

Is Ellie Goulding some sort of nepo baby? She's awfully posh and seems very well-connected for a jobbing pop singer.

She’s from a council estate 😂 she’s the epitome social climber.
