Playing Margaret Thatcher must be great for an actress like Meryl Streep. Thesps just love it when they get the chance to play vile people from history. Murderers, rapists, sex offenders and the like give an actor the opportunity to feel brave and bold.
And ol’ Streepy knew too well that pretty much everyone on Earth hates Thatcher. This is something that made her ”more interested” in portraying the heartless witch in ‘The Iron Lady’.
And Meryl has some theories on why everyone despised her so much and… well… she’s off the mark really.

The North of England hates Margaret Thatcher almost unreservedly. Seriously. Being a Tory in Ultra-Labourite Manchester is akin to being a leper. A leper who likes the music of James Blunt. A James Blunt loving leper in a Liverpool FC shirt.
And so, when Meryl Streep appeared randomly at Freya and Graham McAnally’s wedding at Manchester town hall, you’d have to assume only one thing…
…that locals gathered ’round Streep, figured she was the closest thing they’d get to seeing Thatcher in the flesh, and kicked her to death.

The best way to win the respect of your acting peers is to go ugly. Monstrously ugly. For example, people fawn over those brave enough to play Hitler. Or a wife-beater. Or some kind of sex offender.
In the case of Meryl Streep, she’s being touted as a likely Oscar winner for her turn as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.
It takes nerve to play the biggest on-screen monster since Cloverfield.

Daytime television is, by it’s own admission, awful. Never has it been implied that shows like Jeremy Kyle and Cash In The Attic exist to do anything other than while away the hours for bored housewives and jobless shut-ins. A spot of light relief between playing online bingo and masturbating into a commemorative tea towel.
One afternoon, whilst killing time between brunch with Kelly Brook and playing golf on Richard Branson’s nose, flicking through the channels, the term “football” caught the ear. Lo and behold it was a woman on a panel show.
She had the look of someone’s Aunt, one who had once been in a waxing accident and never mentally, or aesthetically, recovered. She proceeded to elaborate about how “unfair” and “blatantly sexist” it was that her favourite reality TV show once had been moved back SIXTY WHOLE MINUTES to accommodate a football match going into extra time.

Carol McGiffin is a terrifying human being. Why? She willingly had sex with Chris Evans for one. Secondly, she willingly works on Loose Women without wanting to open them all up with a chainsaw. Thirdly, it seems she’s obsessed with telling people about the habits of her vagina. Fourthly, her face looks a bit like an out-y belly button.
Now, she’s introducing the pot to the kettle after branding Katie Price a “monster”.
Someone on Twitter compared Carol to the mostly drunk, boob flashing, haggard old soak… and for the life of us, we can’t imagine why anyone would make the connection. Read More >>>

Besides being one S short of having the funniest monster name ever – some people find the Aswang to be truly intimidating. Rumour has it that in parts of the Philippines the streets are desolate as soon as the sun goes down for fear of being eaten by one of these things.
Don’t worry though – these shape shifters don’t usually go after living adults. They like to spend their time slathering mustard all over corpses of the recently dead. Also they sometimes use a proboscis to suck foetuses out of a woman’s woo-woo.
Other than that we’ve heard they’re probably dedicated vegetarians.

Popobawa is a creature not necessarily nailed down in terms of solid description. Some call him a ogre, some a ghost or a shape shifter. What is clear about the creature though, is that as recently as 2006 he’s been blamed for entering men’s homes and sodomizing them in their own beds. The madness went as far as men refusing to sleep at home for fear of being victimized by the winged monster.
Many believe the creature takes human form by day, and lives among the people. Others believe he’s just a lonely, horny gay monster accidentally unleashed on the public back in the seventies. Whatever he is, we have more on him right here.
