[Pop Bitch] Which salt-of-the-earth singer-songwriter has a few more airs and graces than he lets on?

He once offered to pay for an ex-girlfriend to take elocution lessons.

Why?

He wanted to sand off the rougher edges of her South African accent.

    No idea, but what an obnoxious twit he is.

    The most annoying accent for me is Andrew Weissman’s. He’s not a “celeb” but he’s frequently interviewed on Deadline:White House. He *always* starts his first sentence with the word “so” (pronounced “sew”). Drives me up the wall.

    Singer: Stephan Jenkins? Dated Charlize Theron

    [Optional] Which celebrity has the most annoying accent? I can’t stand Adele’s accent. Beautiful singing voice but her speaking voice sounds horrific to me.

    Singer: Stephan Jenkins from 3rd Eye Blind? He dated Charlize Theron for 3 years. She’s S. African.

    I’ve never heard of the guy everyone is guessing, and I struggle to see why anyone would have the front to tell a highly successful, beautiful, and spirited Oscar winner like Charlize to change any aspect of herself.

    I’ll guess Ed Sheeran, as that’s who the salt of the earth singer songwriter clue made me think of.

    Don’t know the answer, but I don’t particularly like the sound of Paul Hogan’s Australian accent. In fact, I don’t really appreciate the Oz accent on anyone. I imagine that Americans’ accents sound just as grating to Aussies, so we’re even. 🙃

    Ollie Murs and his old model girlfriend Jaimie Beth Geraghty, ive heard a few stories about him being a knobhead when hes had a beer, its well known. Shame really as he comes across well on The Voice.

    Stephan Jenkins makes total sense. He dated Charlize back the very beginning of her career, I think, maybe she was even still living in S. Africa.
    I have to co-sign on Cardi B. Big fan of her creativity and talent but cannot stand to hear her speak.

    No idea.

    I really dislike the southern US accent, mostly the texan one, it’s earbleeding to me.

    I think that we need to walk down Memory Lane for this Blind Item.
    Singer Frank Sinatra and his ex fiancee Juliet Prowse from South Africa.
    Juliet used to host the Ballroom dancing tournaments. What a lovely, effervescent woman 😊

    Rolling stones had a track called salt of the earth so possibly Mick Jagger and one of his many conquests
