Who Are The Most In Demand Celebrities In The UK?
Everyone loves to read about celebrities, and it seems like this year UK celebrities have been more talked about than ever. So, who are some of the most written about famous people in the UK this year? Well, one of them has got to be Cheryl Cole. Shes one of the most recognizable celebrities around right now and the media seem to follow her wherever she goes. Lately, she has been caught up in the whole X Factor drama and that has certainly set tongues wagging and pens scribbling.
Also widely talked about in all sections of the media right now are Kate and Pippa Middleton or to give Kate her proper form of address, the Duchess of Cambridge. The sisters have been hugely popular for a while but things really took off when Kate married Prince William (see below) on 29th April. Now it seems like both of them are in the papers all the time and, while you might expect most of the attention to be on Kate, its actually Pippa getting a lot of the coverage.
As always, the world of sport can also be relied upon for some juicy gossip and, continuing a trend that has been going on for the past couple of years, Wayne Rooney has to make the list of the most written about people of 2011. Most recently, he has been causing controversy over his decision to have a hair transplant because he was (reportedly) fed up with his football team mates teasing him about his hairline. Barely a day goes by without a report of his latest antics.
This year, Simon Cowell TVs resident Mr. Nasty has also been getting people talking and filling the gossip columns with ink. He has long been a regular in the British media but he seems to have reached new heights in 2011. First there was the will-he/wont-he over whether or not hed be judging this years UK X Factor. Then more recently, hes been causing controversy for inviting the aforementioned Cheryl Cole onto the US X Factor before she got ditched only weeks later.
Lastly, we come to Prince William. Hes always been written about widely because hes a future monarch and high-profile member of the royal family but arguably it was his marriage to Catherine (Kate) live on TV that catapulted him to new heights. As a search and rescue helicopter pilot for the RAF he also makes a lot of headlines and his work for the royal family is also heavily reported on. This attention seems set to stay with the prince for many years to come.
