30 People Turn up to Tess Daly's Book Signing

I wonder why.....?

Why do these z list celebrites think that anyone is remotely intrested in reading (letting alone buying and queuing up to have it signed by said "celebrity") a book they've written about their experiences of having and rearing a baby? What makes them think that their experiences of something that most women do more than once themselves anyway so fascinating?

I'm astonished it was so many.

And ... lets not be mean to Tess Daly? really???

Do we have to be unstintingly supportive to her just because she's a woman and a mother? I'm afraid that doesn't wash with me.

I made a book about my experiences being pregnant, giving birth and the first year as a mum.

It's called a scrapbook. It's got lots of pictures of each child and written memories and a few bits and bobs from their first year of life as a keepsake for them.

I can't imagine anyone being interested besides us, the parents and the children.

Don't see why these folks think anyone is interested in reading about something millions of women do every year just because they did it, too.

oh come on
i am always ready to be harsh but she has had a shit time and i feel for her.

tess we love you.
just dont write books please

if she is anything like peopel i know who have faced infidelity then she is not feling at all right atm and is prbable crying all day.

so lets give her a breakerronoid

I don't love her. I don't blardy know her! ffs. She shouldn't be so grasping. It is unseemly. And a bit dim not to have noticed that the sleb-mum-ooo-lool-I-had-a-baybee market is already saturated. I'm getting quite irritated now and I was perfectly amiable before!

bibbity

at 'always ready to be harsh'

I thought Anthea and the liar, cheater, thief of a husband she has were still off on holiday after he skipped out on paying his creditors millions by declaring himself bankrupt?

Su? You've gone soft!

lol
i am not nice, generally.
when i am
take it

I can see you grimacing with the effort Su.

old age must have softened you. SNAZZY.

I flicked through the book at Waterstone's the other week and it seemed to be the biggest smug fest I have ever seen. If anybody was struggling with motherhood this book would be guaranteed to send you into a spiral of depression.

Quite frankly I am glad it has bombed.

I like the comment in the posts underneath the article - "What's to write about? Got married, got pregnant, pinged back into shape the next day!"

Oh I can't work out what's gone on here. This new form of infidelity baffles me - did he actually shag anyone? Was he just indulging in a bit of smut - I find the greyness confusing. He's really screwed up their Northern Royal couple status though - they'll have lost a few potential TV contracts now.

I've tried but cannot summon any pity for them. They could both have laid low a bit more couldn't they - would have been a bit more dignified. (Plus I remember dressing her at a fashion show when she was 17 and she was really surly and ungracious - have never forgiven her )

God this goes from bad to worse - I was previously unaware that the truly dreadful Mylene Klas had also written a similarly self indulgant smug fest mothering of a book too.

These conception/pregnancy/birth/mothering books are far, far worse than bringing out an exercise DVD IMHO. At least an exercise programme can pay lip service to the notion of being novel yet with conception/pregnancy/birth/mothering there's nothing new under the sun - not even when Jools/Mylene or Tess claim there is and no one wants to be taught to suck eggs by the likes of them!

This take smuggery (it's not a word I know but it should be) to whole new levels.

And would anyone really bother to take books like this out of the library...?

Ach now don't be mean - it was raining in Dublin, and most people nip into Easons from the bus stop outside the shop to get out of the rain / have a browse of the magazines!! There was a sale at Penny's (Primark) next door, so obviously that's where everyone had gone!!
