Isn't she fab for not hiding or surgically improving her slightly crepey tummy!?? I feel really quite cheered.

I grudgingly admit that it's a "good thing" for slebs to get their wobbly bits out

although I doubt she was thinking feminist thoughts when she donned her bikini

and she is still a vacuous tart with a three-dick gob

allegedly

It appears that all of the negative comments under that articles are from men. I hope they don't say stuff like that to their own wives or girlfriends if they don't come out of pregnancy completely unscathed.

Colinfirth · 07/05/2009 18:14

That DM article is so painfully disingenuous. The whole point of it is to draw attention to her perfectly normal crepey bits (hence the closeup of her bottom, allegedly to show us her tattoo) whilst pretending to admire her. Yuckety yuck.

oi, those are pictures of me!

rutyfruty · 07/05/2009 18:25

Yes agree Colin.

Colin - I know what you mean, but the alternatives are a) they don't run the story (and no one sees a high profile sleb looking normal, and the myth that women spring back into teenage shape after childbirth is unchallenged) or b) they write an openly bitchy article...in which case they alienate the majority of mothers reading it.

OP posts:

Colinfirth · 07/05/2009 22:01

They can't win, MadamAnt, until they stop running the bitchy stories. Or they could run that one sans the closeup!

southeastastra · 07/05/2009 22:02

who are you colinfirth, as i love colin firth i feel i have the right to know

AnyFucker · 07/05/2009 22:17

she is on the fab end of normal, IMHO

three-dick-gob ?

what a mental image!

not an unpleasant one

MrsMerryHenry · 07/05/2009 23:21

Well, Colin Firth, I for one 'sprang back' to shape after giving birth. It just wasn't a shape I recognised...

MrsMerryHenry · 07/05/2009 23:22

Or, rather, 'Well, MadamAnt...'

Ahhh. You get my drift.

Her body is more impressive than her part in helping to break up her husband's former marriage - remember the t-shirts she wore having a go at his former wife for not sitting up and shouting, "Yes, please run off with my husband."

Tortington · 08/05/2009 11:03

i think i just fell in love with julia roberts.

Disenchanted3 · 08/05/2009 12:07

snap custy

IrritableGrizzly · 08/05/2009 13:53

She looks gorgeous and so much more sexy than sinewy, botoxed, siliconed androids like Mrs Beckham.

OnACaffieneHigh · 08/05/2009 13:56

A possitive article from the mail?! NO!

The world has truly come to an end...

themadfatter · 09/05/2009 23:55
