Michael Barrymore Returns To New Zealand
Michael Barrymore has this week returned to New Zealand after failing to make a comeback on UK TV.
Barrymore took part in last years Celebrity Big Brother shw with the hopes that it would be his first step on the ladder of a UK comeback. He had grand plans for new shows, but none actually materialised.
A showbiz insider said: “After Barrymore came second on Celebrity Big Brother he thought there was a real chance of getting things moving again, but as soon as police announced they were reinvestigating the death he knew he was facing an impossible challenge.
“I’m not surprised he’s gone back to New Zealand - and I wouldn’t be surprised if he never comes to the UK.”

Michael is probably taking a break, so he deserves it after playing the part of scrooge,this story is untrue and its stupid to specualate that there won’t be a comeback, that is still on the cards.
As he has said before if the right project comes along then he will be given that chance.
The news article is nothing but nonsense.

I think its safe to say Michael Barrymore’s career is over in the UK. Questions still need to be asked of Michael Barrymore & all the party goers,over the suspicious death of Stuart Lubbock at Michael Barrymore’s home in 2001. A new investigation has been started on the death of Stuart. Stuart Lubbock suffered horrific anal injuries. The death remains unexplained and unsolved, and may go down as a real mystery death.With the very dark cloud hanging over Michael Barrymore, his career reads more like a Greek Tragedy.

Michael Barrymore will have plenty of time on his hands in New Zealand, to read father of Stuart Lubbock’s new book ‘Not Awight’ Getting Away With Murder by Terry Lubbock & Tony Bennett. No doubt a Auckland book shop will be stocking the book.

Excuse me, stop blaming Michael and unless you know him personally and have met and spoken with him then you don’t know him at all.
Do you really think that Michael is going to give up that easy? no,he won’t so keep it buttoned, whatever happened to proven before your guilty.
I don’t think you can say or in a position to say anything, until the real facts are proven Michael has never been guilty of anything and is not a murderer or killer.
Just because it happened at a celebritys house doesn’t mean anything, Michael was quite clearly set up.
March 4th, 2007 at 11:10 am
Christene said:”Michael was quite clearly set up.” Christine this a new one, how was Michael set up and by who? Was it by one or more of the party guests. Stuart Lubbock’s death is now being treated as a suspicious death. Clearly if Michael Barrymore has been “set up” as you put it, Michael needs to name names. ” Just because it happened at a celebrity house.” We agree on that then. I dont think anyone or at least Terry Lubbock has ever accused Michael Barrymore of Murder.

Not Awight - Getting Away With Murder by Terry Lubbock and Tony Bennett. Tells the story of the Infamous Barrymore party death. Michael Barrymore now lives in New Zealand in Auckland with his partner Shaun Davis his previous partner & Lover was Jon Kenney a drag artist from Blackpool.

Whilist Olivia has commented on Michael again with her judgemental reports Michael was set up ok.
Michael is not a nasty man or vicious so why speculate, If Michael did have answers then he would of named people,but if you are not a witness how can this be so?
Michael is a kind, loyal man ok I have got to know him personally so I can speak from experience.
Just because Michael is a celebrity he has been set up and that’s the sort of thing that anyone would try to try and destroy him, for that people have not suceeded.
I love him and so do so many other people.
So why do people still love him? because they have watched Michael a lot and also got to know him over the years, including me, I will always be a big fan of his and will always love him the way I do.
March 13th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
Who was Michael Barrymore set up by? Someone at the pool party at his home, Christine. Stuart Lubbock sufered horrific anal injuries, please tell us more.
March 13th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Why did Michael Barrymore run away on the 31 March 2001 at his home in Roydon, were Stuart Lubbock was found?
March 13th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
Answer because he was frightened who wouldn’t be?
Michael is innocent stop trying to blame Michael.
I won’t be commenting anymore on this subject.
I suggest that Michael be left alone.
He is a great man and in no way has Michael done anything?
Does that answer the question for you?
March 19th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
An innocent man has nothing to hide, has he. Rule 22 at Stuart Lubbock coroners inquest? No that does not answer my question.
March 29th, 2007 at 6:23 am
Can I see the version of Dragons den uk version that was recently on TVone.
I have been told it was a person who looked like me. e.g. Everyone has a twin.
Thanks

Funny comments by all who don’t know Michael, still I and many fans will always love, support him and treasure him because I absolutely love him after meeting him so many times.
I just wonder what you people get out of insulting him.
There is a saying that what goes around comes around, Michael is innocent what is he supposed to do then own up when he hasn’t done anything, he is the most beautiful human being, and bloody innocent he knows he has my full support.
A loving fan always

Michael Barrymore Charges? Stuart Lubbock.
September 19th, 2007 at 11:12 am
No Charges for Michael Barrymore on the 10th September. However a very Dark Cloud still hangs over Mr Barrymore & all the party guests. Someone knows exactly what happened to Stuart Lubbock on the 31 March 2001 at entertainer Michael Barrymore’s home in Roydon Essex.
January 30th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Terry Lubbock is to go to the opening night of entertainer Michael Barrymore’s World Premier of ‘Surviving Spike’ at The Theatre Royal Windsor on the 5th February, this is Michael Barrymore’s first dramatic role cince his arrest in the Lubbock Murder case last year.
February 8th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Michael Barrymore return at Windsor, I witnessed two very sad looking Michael Barrymore fans at The Theatre royal Windsor all very sad really. The real star was the father of Stuart Lubbock found with horrific internal injuries at the entertainer Michael Barrymore’s home in 2001. Terry Lubbock keep up your fight for the truth in your son Stuart’s Murder, you have True Grit.
February 10th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
I wonder who that was then?
I am more than just a fan, I feel so sorry for Michael he is innocent, not just that dear, but I love him and saw him afterwards,I’m sad that Terry Lubbock only stages protests for one reason to attack michael all the time when he has been cleared twice and also he has never done anything to SL either, that’s why I am sad I love Michael so much and none of this is his fault. Also if you saw two MB fans, one had lost her husband 18 months ago and was sad becsause her husband wasn’t with her, the two men I really love has departed and the other one bullied, tormented over something that the witchunters won’t rest and torment the man I love.
Who are the sad ones the person who made the comments about two Michael Barrymore fans.
oh dear even poor Michael knew why I was sad for him because of the witchunters and for my loss dear.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Think what Terry Lubbock has suffered & indeed what Stuart suffered. All Michael Barrymore has lost is his career.
February 14th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Stuart Lubbock was found to have fatal criminal injuries. FACT. At the address in Roydon.FACT. MURDER.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:19 am
A memorial has been sent to the Attorney General by Terry Lubbock father of Stuart Lubbock, requesting a new coroners inquest into the death of Stuart Lubbock at the home of entertainer Michael Barrymore. This is based on new evidence & facts. Stuart was found to have fatal criminal injuries, at the address in Roydon.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
We will c then won’t we, rumours I expect, considering Stuart Nairn claims that he might of injured Stuart himself.
I maintain that Michael is innocent and will stand by him through thick and thin.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
And Michael has not lost his career he has been fully cooperative sorry to tell you.
There are people around him so you better b careful.
I maintain and many of us do that we will stand by Michael 100% he is not responsible for SL death and that’s that.
February 27th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
And stand strong together.
I wish now that Michael be left alone.
He is going to live his life normally again.
I’m really sorry for the witchunters they will find out the truth and make apologies to Michael, they are sad people who won’t know where to turn.
March 2nd, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Stuart Lubbock suffered horrific internal injuies at the address in Roydon. The truth will out in the end.
April 27th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I don’t mean to be rude or offensive but Christine you sound like a very naive child, Its nice that you have your little fantasy world around Michael Barrymore, but in the real world what are you going to do IF he was in some way responsible or involved in the death of this man? I as with anyone who was not there can only speculate on the circumstances resulting in his death. My thoughts are with Stuart Lubbocks family
April 29th, 2008 at 7:53 am
No I’m not and know what Terry Lubbock is doing ok?
Everytime that Michael tries to re-launch his career, Terry steps on his toes,
I have spoken to Terry and the reason why he is using Michael’s name is just for publicity.
Its not speculation dear its the truth.
Funny how some people know the truth.
Terry is not blaming Michael.
Incidentally I’m not the child.
Terry is I’m afraid and while he wants justice, stop using Michae’s name to get it, that’s what I suggest.
April 29th, 2008 at 7:57 am
I wonder what I would do if you kept rambling at the rate you are?
You know nothing of Michael, for which I do, and no dear he is not responsible, I know a lot more about Michael which you don’t and I’m not saying anymore.
Hm to say he was involved is disgusting, still it takes one to know one to pin blame on someone she knows nothing about.
And dear while you are at it, mind your own business,who I love and who I’m a friend of hey?
August 1st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Oh Christine your ramblings are far far worse than everyone else put together. You are on every single messageboard/forum that has the mention of your beloved MB. You are obssessed by the man and it’s unhealthy. You cannot see the wood for the trees due to your blinkers!
Support your man if you wish but respect the fact that there are many other people who do not share your view and they are entitled to their opinions too.
I notice that you are not your usual abusive self on this board…….possibly due to first class monitoring of posts so well done to the person in charge.
Christine disrupts most forums with abuse to people who do not share her view and they are all bully’s and witchunters in her opinion.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Another lie by the above poster,I am simply always going to defend him,that’s because my love is very strong and I’m in total support of him.
so well done Cyclops found you disrupting me again, I see.
November 1st, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Hi, Christine,
I have just read all the comments on this blog. It’s obvious you care for Michael and have personally meet him numerous times. For all of this, I am very glad.
My name is Tony. If you have read (which I’m sure you have) “Back In Business”, I am one of the “characters” in this book. I went through rehab with Michael; he refers to me as “DJ Tony”. I am trying to get in touch with Michael through any and every possible avenue I can. I want to catch up with him, and offer him some support for all that he has endured over the past decade. I also want to talk with him about some ideas that could possibly help both him and me. If you have any information on how I may contact him, I certainly would appreciate it.
As far as my opinion on Michael, I agree with you totally. How can so many people pass judgment on someone they have never even met. I went through rehab with Michael, and even though it was just a 28 day stay, please believe me when I say that going through rehab is a very vulnerable experience for anybody. Through my chats with Michael, I believe him to be genuine, honest, caring, humble, and above all, extremely talented.
I even take offense when I read “blogs” from people and they say he has now talent. I’m sure a high percentage of the people who now say he has no talent are the same people who followed and supported his career for many years. If so the case, then these people are the hypocrites. After all, this is the same public who made him one of the most beloved and highest paid entertainers in the history of English television. An accomplishment he would not have achieved without true talent. Personally, I think he is hillarious.
As an American, I think America has missed out on a great talent by being unaware of him.
Can you help me in contacting him?
November 12th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Hello Tony,
I have to be careful about this,its quite correct what your saying,I am having problems with people at the moment they are bullies,but please don’t be put off by anything you might come across.
I read your statement with great interest he is genuine and has been honest about the case,you know I really love and adore him so much,but people are really bullying me over him.They are hypocrites.
I could help you,but I have to be careful.
I have people grossly interferring in my life and chasing me around boards,I think the best thing would be is to contact Joy’s of Michael Barrymore website,joy will give you my e-mail address,just say who you are and that I have given you permission,tony I have to be careful you understand,I would like to help you and certainly help Michael to,please get in touch with her first.
Hope to speak to you soon.
Christine.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
