specifically has this obsession with kim kardashian. wtf is it about this girl? does anyone really need 4 updated stories about her each day? filling column inches, like cannon fodder mainly.

Is that her real bum though striped?

DM also obsessed with the people in Towie, Suri Cruise, VB and her children, Coleen Rooney and anyone with a 'burgeoning baby bump'.

I don't actually know what the Kardashians are all about.

KatyTheCleaningLady · 23/02/2013 20:44

I think the web site is read quite widely in America and she's a bigger "star" over there.

NamelessHereForEvermore · 23/02/2013 20:44

I too wonder this - but I think Katy may have it. I can't think of any other reason for it.

Sparklingbrook · 23/02/2013 20:45

Oh right. That would explain it.

They were going on about her 'bump'. Couldn't see one except at the back. Grin

DuttyWine · 23/02/2013 20:47

It's my new guilty pleasure thanks to all the mumsnet links! The 'news' is dire but the celeb gossip is fab! Kim k's peplum snake print trousers made me feel so much better about myself having a fat day today!

TomArchersSausage · 23/02/2013 20:50

I don't get it at all either! Who are Kardashians??Confused

They're also obsessed with Helen Flanagan.

I'm sure they have printed a picture of Rosie Webster in thigh high boots about 300 times, today I saw some muttering about should holly put her willowboobies away.

Even rob kardashian gets coverage in the daily mail, he called Rita ora a whore on twitter for cheating on him 20 times!

Sparklingbrook · 23/02/2013 20:58

Who is Rita Ora anyway?

atarexia · 23/02/2013 20:59

Dont forget Miranda Kerr!!

EverybodysSootyEyed · 23/02/2013 21:01

They're obsessed with women who have lost a shed load of weight because someone said something nasty/they were jilted etc

I never read the article tbf but the headline smacks of 'woman bullied into losing weight - well done everyone'

marquesas · 23/02/2013 21:02

You're all wrong - they are absolutely completely obsessed by Kate Upton and I still have no clue who she is as I never click on any of the links Grin

DuttyWine · 23/02/2013 21:03

And tamara egglsestone in her 'famous' bandage dresses! Who is she?

Sparklingbrook · 23/02/2013 21:03

Isn't it about time somebody came on the thread and told the OP to stop reading it if you don't like it. Grin Everytime we click on a DM link the DM gets 3 billion pounds. Wink

Nancy66 · 23/02/2013 21:04

Courtney Stodden and her corn beef legs is my favourite

scottishmummy · 23/02/2013 21:05

Prole food,much loved by mnetters
Dm linked,discussed and ohhh and ahhed over by folk who claim to neither read nor like it
But no disputing mn posters loves their dm

EverybodysSootyEyed · 23/02/2013 21:06

Alessandro ambrosia (or whatever- she will always be rice pudding to me)

Who is she?

She tIcks a few of the dm boxes
Had baby and regained shape fast
Poses in a bikini a lot
Has famous friends
Lots of photo ops with family

Nancy66 · 23/02/2013 21:07

It's not the DM BTW - it's Mail Online.

Daily Mail is the newspaper. Mail Online is the website

Sparklingbrook · 23/02/2013 21:11

I haven't seen the actual Newspaper in years I imagine it's full of nonsense too.

Nancy66 · 23/02/2013 21:13

A different sort of nonsense. Readership is much older so it's more Felicity Kendal and Joanna Lumley than Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.
