here

Couldn't she have just worn a smock and admitted to having a jelly belly? Why has a perfectly intelligent woman become yet another shallow sleb parading around how extraordinary they are that their babies just pop out and two minutes later their bellies just pop back in?

Oh, sorry - maybe it's part of her responsibilities as a UN Ambassador for Women - make other women feel fat and ugly?

belgo is that a pithy summation of the OP?

mumblechum · 11/11/2008 12:08

That's a bit mean. Lots of women go back to their original weight after the birth, I went back to pre'baby weight within 2 weeks of the first one (sadly not the second!)

And she was at a Glamour awards, of course she had to make an effort

HeadFairy · 11/11/2008 12:09

Lovely pic of her and the baby though

MrsThierryHenry · 11/11/2008 12:10

Me? Jealous? Noooooooooooooo!

I don't get why this makes her 'shallow'? Agree with mumblechum, in that setting why would she not want to look amazing?

superdenki · 11/11/2008 12:58

I was more at the photo of her stepping out in WHITE JEANS a fortnight after giving birth. maybe celebrity babies come with 6 weeks of clotty discharge...

Snaf · 11/11/2008 13:02

Gorgeous dress, gorgeous baby, but yeah - it would be nice if she didn't feel the need to join the SnapBackClub quite so soon...

nailpolish · 11/11/2008 13:06

you are just jealous

if i was a millionaire with a personal chef and personal trainer id look like that too

if i had that figure id be wearing a dress like that

wouldnt you?

DumbledoresGirl · 11/11/2008 13:07

superdenki - eeeuuuwwww! But I know what you mean.

I like her. I think she looks great, and some women do get back their figure after birth. I did. I can still wear my (tight fitting) wedding dress and I have had 4 children since marrying. So give the woman a break fgs.

And wow! what a lovely picture of her and the baby.

Piffle · 11/11/2008 13:08

ah so you all actually belive she was pregnant herself

SoupDragon · 11/11/2008 13:08

Perhaps she did just snap back into shape? Some do and it's not like she was huge whilst pregnant.

Anyway, the photo of her with the baby is fabulous!

Lizzylou · 11/11/2008 13:11

She didn't put loads of weight on during pregnancy though did she?
Very sensible not to spend the entire 9mths scoffing cheese and chocolate like it was going out of fashion (took me an age to lose that 4.5 stone)
She looks great, cute baby

Cadelaide · 11/11/2008 13:14

That is not a photo of her "sleeping" with Sunday. Where is the slack mouth? The drool?

That is a photo of her posing with Sunday.

nailpolish · 11/11/2008 13:17

every time i see the name Sunday Rose

i think Sunday Roast

DarrellRivers · 11/11/2008 13:21

piffle
more info please (or idle speculation please)
[v curious emotion]
I am very sceptical of celebrity parenthood anyway, and yes, she had fertility problems for years and years

elsiepiddock · 11/11/2008 13:21

Good on her, I say - she looks fab.

And she had the baby 4 months ago, not 4 days or anything.

ginnny · 11/11/2008 13:22

I think she looks fantastic. Why wear a smock when she can look like that?
Good for her not selling her baby photos to the highest bidder like Branjelina etc.

  • I wish I could have worn a dress like that so soon after giving birth (I couldn't wear that NOW!)
francagoestohollywood · 11/11/2008 13:23

Hang on a minute, I'd like to discuss Piffle's conspiracy theory [curious]

sorkycake · 11/11/2008 13:23

I think she looks fabulous!

I have one photo of me and Dd1 asleep together which Dh took. Apart from the difference in beauty we looked just like that.
No drool, just serene

themoon66 · 11/11/2008 13:27

Nailpolish... I see the name and immediately think 'Sunday Roast' too

Piffle · 11/11/2008 13:31

was out in oz
tis widely belived/alleged that she had surrogate...

DarrellRivers · 11/11/2008 13:32

So franca and I are here together waiting to discuss theories
I think most Hollywood slebs have assisted conception and have twin ppregnancies to save time and so they only have to do pregnancy once [am aware slight overexaggeration and aware am being gossipy]

DarrellRivers · 11/11/2008 13:32

yes, thought all that fertility water was slightly dubious
