Yorksheather Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I looked up Micheal Le Poer Trench as I didn't know who he was . He's an Australian born theatre photographer partner of Cameron Mackintosh according to Cameron's wikipedia .Here are some of his images , including pics of Gareth in Les Mis http://www.google.co.uk/images?rlz=1T4GGLJ_enGB297GB297&q=michael+le+poer+trench&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=rUy1TJbjFom6jAf43uW-Aw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCYQsAQwAA&biw=988&bih=508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks Heather. I bet they had a lot to talk about. (And I hope they had some yummy food) I bet that taxi driver just wanted to spend longer with Gareth in the cab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I think Gareth worried people by adopting twitter silence for so long after announcing he was taking a toilet break! I see Gareth currently has 14,991 followers - not far from 15,000. Yet still some of them are asking him if what he's doing these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Not a fun Sunday morning for Gareth Gareth_Gates #diat Woken up by the phone;One of our tenants calling to say the roof in the apartment has fallen down! Urgh! Just got bak...Now a sun bed! 9 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone I wish Gareth would take it easy with the tan. There was already someone on twitter this morning saying they'd seen Gareth looking very orange - and now he wants to top up. He needs an intervention.

eternal Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Gareth you need me - my job is property maintenance. Blimey, as well as all his other jobs, Gareth is a Landlord too. Not sure how he fits that into his schedule, because some tenants even ask the landlord to come and change their light bulbs. Hope you have good people looking after your properties, Gareth. (Or do you think they just made it up their roof had fallen in so they could have a chat with Gareth ) Re the sunbed - Whats an intervention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 An intervention is essentially where family and friends pull you a side to "have a word". The Wikipedia page gives an explanation of it in its most serious, and presumably original form: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intervention_%28counseling%29 I was thinking more along the lines of what you get in sitcoms. However, I do think someone does need to have a word, because I don't think Gareth quite knows when to stop with the old fake-tan. He knows people think he's too orange, but he seems to think people are joking. But really Gareth (if you are reading) it's too much. And I don't want you on the sun-beds either.

eternal Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 hmmmm Intervention quite a strong word but thanks. I think we must remember he is beginning a new job tomorrow and wants to look his best. In a few weeks time when he has gelled with the cast and they are having a heart to heart about their first days in a new job, someone may be brave enough to say they thought he was a bit too orange. That is all it may take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Don't take that page too seriously. They are mainly discussing its use in the context of serious addictions such as alcohol or drugs. As I said before, I'm using it mainly in the way it's used in sitcoms - for more fluffy things. I said it as a tongue in cheek comment. BUT, if we are on the subject, I wish someone could make him see sense. If I'm totally honest, I think Gareth has an unhealthy view of his image and what a tan does for him. I'm not against a little bit of fake tan, but he's well past that stage now and I don't see the point in pretending that it looks good. I know fans like to be supportive, but the way I see it, if you care for someone, you need to let them know when they are damaging themselves, and this tweet from someone earlier today sums up the problem - especially when you consider he was spotted before he announced he was off for a sunbed. SlinkySparkles A very orange looking Gareth Gates just drove past me in a soft top... His tan looked a bit dirty... Ick. about 4 hours ago via ÜberTwitter I don't want to labour the point, because it's going off topic and getting a bit serious, but while Gareth might think it's all funny, Gareth is damaging his own reputation with his tan obsession, never mind risking his health.

eternal Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 You are right about the seriousness of it. How amazing that someone should spot him and comment on it too (on twitter) On a flippant note, perhaps those going this week need to club together and give him some of this SELF TAN for a good luck present.

Snowdrop Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 People are always commenting on twitter about seeing Gareth and him looking orange, or in some cases they comment on him smelling of fake tan, lol. And you only really go orange with actual fake tan (as opposed to sun beds). He's obviously using both, something I read about in an article all about the perils of the tanning industry. I appreciate that performers have traditionally worn make-up and more recently favoured fake tan because stage lights have the effect of washing you out a bit, and I got the impression that several of the Les Mis cast were also partial to a bit of tan, yet how come Gareth stands out so much?

He'd show the Xfactor lot a thing or 2!! half a minute ago via Twitter for iPhone I wonder if Gareth is aware that Cliff is alleged to take full advantage of a "backing track" for a lot of his live performances these days.

Snowdrop Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm not sure if Gareth intended us all to see this, because it looks as if it was a reply to his friend Matt, but he was with him, so I think he was trying to show us his photo of @DforDaines Gareth_Gates @DforDaines loving it!! http://yfrog.com/mv335ij about 10 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 A bit more I wonder if Gareth is aware that Cliff is alleged to take full advantage of a "backing track" for a lot of his live performances these days. In which case, quite like a lot of the X Factor finalists over the last few years! Not the concerts I've been to! Every time I've been there - Cliff has had a full band on stage with him - including wind instruments and often a small orchestra. For the Bold as Brass concerts in the Royal Albert Hall he had a 20 piece orchestra/jazz band along with the usual rock/pop band plus 3 backing singers... The sound in a Cliff concert is incredible - and I so agree with Gareth - Cliff would knock the socks of most of the x factor contestants with his vocals even at the age of 70! I'm so delighted that Gareth was at one of the shows - if only I could have been there - I could have seen two of my most favourite men! Oh to have them duet! Wonder if Gareth was there the night they were filming for the DVD - I will look out for him when I get it! PS Great picture from Gareth! PPS - Just found out that Gareth was there the night of the filming for the DVD! They usually home in quite a bit on the audience - including those in Boxes - so I shall look out for Gareth!
