Barrymore Set to Marry Boyfriend
His former wife Cheryl dies of cancer only a month ago, and just a week after gay weddings are made legal in New Zealand, Michael Barrymore starts scribbling out wedding invitations.
He really doesn’t care what people think, we’ll give him that.
Apart from the fact that it’s a gay wedding, which has nothing to do with any of our disdain towards him, where is the respect here? Surely Cheryl put up with enough nonsense from the hyperactive banana over the years that he could wait until the seasons change before getting hitched again at least?
He’s getting on with his life…he shouldn’t live in the past…let him be happy…
Those arguments are all well and good, but it doesn’t alter the fact that he’s getting remarried (we know she’s a former wife, but still) after a spouse’s death in less time than it takes to watch a run of Big Brother. Whether you’re Barrymore, Benny Hill (DVD), Brad Pitt (DVD) or Ben Kenobi (Toy) that just doesn’t seem right. None of them have either, but they do all begin with B.
Shaun Davis is Michael Barrymore’s new intended, twenty-two years younger and a trainee doctor. He had a future at one time it seems. Not too late to read the signs, mate.
Without letting our sudden (inexplicable?) rush of morals consume us here, we’ll just delve into the rancid comedian’s back catalogue for a laugh. We do mean ‘work’ catalogue, just in case you were wondering.
A pretty big career on advert TV (Strike It Lucky mainly) before a little swimming pool incident in 2001. No work since then apart from an angrily torn apart one-man (couldn’t get anyone to work with him or wouldn’t be upstaged?) West End show. A bit of hopelessly desperate telly here and there and he’s currently touring with a minuscule theatre company in New Zealand. Just like at uni.
There’s no business like it, eh?
Buy this. It has something to do with Barrymore.

What a load of crap —- there is no such thing as a “gay wedding” in New Zealand — there are “civil unions” and they are a far cry from marriage – there can be “gay” civil unions and there can be “straight” civil unions – but they are NOT marriages! – get your facts right before you drivel on!
What the fuck is a ‘civil union’? If it is contractually binding, between two people, in a residential non-employment based relationship, then it’s as good as a marriage, no? What is it? A 50:50 financial thing? Do you need a contract to love somebody these days?

As good as a wedding bigboy, terminology aside.

Well as no one has replied I wish my idol good luck, health and happiness with his new found happiness.
Michael is doing well in New Zealand thanks to all his fans out there.
I am one commited fan and will continue to support my dear idol, coz not only do I love him, I admire his courage his determination and strength for what he has been through.
He is one great man and I can speak on behalf of him I know him extremely well.
He is a kind, considerate gentle man and very funny indeed he has had a tough life and still I can proud of him for conquering his demons that had tormeted him for so long. For shaun you are one hell of a lucky guy.
So all you speakers out there I am one great fan of Michael:s and I love him to.
kind Regards
Christine.
What planet are you from Christine? I don’t know about a committed fan – you want committing to a madhouse.
Ohmigod, I’ve just read this article and have just picked myself up off the floor from laughing. Thank you so much to Stephen for bringing this to the fore.
I’ve never felt very sorry for Michael Barrymore. Sure, he passed half an hour on a Saturday night when there was nothing else on but movies you’d seen time and again. But I’d always felt he was an utter twerp.
However, I would now like to express my deepest sympathies to the man. To have the attentions of Christine, who clearly “knows him well” after repeated viewings of her Strike it Rich VHS tape collection, must be hard for any living human to bear.
I would also like to offer my deepest sympathies to Michael Barrymore too. What on earth has this poor man done to deserve this. Christine believes she knows him she even believes in her own tiny little mind that she has worked with him. I don’t class getting up on stage at one of the shopping centres he used to go around as working with him. Nor do I think that just because you have seen him a few times that you know him Christine. It is all fantasy your living in a dream world Christine and poor Michael Barrymore is living a nightmare – your his nightmare a horrible nasty ugly one. Why are you writting on here if you know him why not write to him personally? Do you not know how pathetic you are and how sad you sound.
Stephen, you sound like a guy after my own heart. I particularly liked the comment about shopping centres…well done!
As you know Barrymore so well Christine, you would know he is victim only to his own debauchery, selfishness and weaknesses.
Like Stephen and Burlington, I too would like to offer my deepest sympathies to Barrymore, the poor man must be suffering horribly.
Just like to add that I actually miss Michael on the telly I,ve liked him since I was 8 I.m 30 now and he helped cheer me up through a difficult childhood what ever has happened its hard to stop liking someone after 22 years it all depends on your kind of humour I suppose I.m quite scatty so he suits me
