Cause she clearly is.

To wonder why Cheryl doesn't just make the pregnancy announcement?

I was going to suggest that it's because nobody gives a shit... They are both fairly untalented people who happen to be in the public eye, this is all for media speculation and attention imo

Yes, It was an eating disorder,
it's not a very well kept secret, everyone knows but nobody feels the need to mention it, (maybe because it's none of our business?)

so all the winky faces as if you know something the rest of us don't know makes you look like a bit of a dick tbh

'It's not a very well kept secret, everyone knows but nobody feels the need to mention it, (maybe because it's none of our business?) '

No one feels the need to mention it apart from you. I don't know why people choose to gossip about people they don't know.

DramaInPyjamas · 30/10/2016 09:01

I mentioned it because legend thinks they have some big showbiz exclusive, and clearly loving the attention of people asking what the big secret was

DramaInPyjamas · 30/10/2016 09:05

NerrSnerr

Why you on a thread about people choosing to gossip about other people they don't know if you don't understand it

NerrSnerr · 30/10/2016 09:14

Because the OP wanted to know if she was unreasonable and I think she is (as said up thread). AIBU would be dull if anyone who disagrees with the OP stayed away!

PrimalLass · 30/10/2016 09:14

Even Louis Walsh

Well known for his truthfulness and non shit stirring ...

RockyBird · 30/10/2016 09:26

Why would 1D fans be upset. Do they all think THEY'RE in with a chance GrinGrin?

InTheseFlipFlops · 30/10/2016 09:32

It makes me irrationally happy that she may be pregnant. She's had a rough ride with Ashley twatty cole.
I've never met her, I hate all this celebrity stuff but I can't help feeling pleased for her -which is not me at all!
As for not announcing it, the minute she announces it the baby becomes public property. The hype will get worse as speculation increases.
Is it a girl
What's it called
When is it due
Where is she having the baby
Friends say.....
Her mum has been spotted buying a pink cardigan it must be a girl.

Its like the birth of prince George, he was born an hour or so before the announcement. In that hour he was just theirs, the world was waiting outside.

DramaInPyjamas · 30/10/2016 09:34

Fair point Nerr Grin I didn't even see it was posted in AIBU

Hulababy · 30/10/2016 09:50

You know - reading this thread it really makes you realise that a woman's worst enemy is always other women!

Just go back and read the nastiness on here. Everything so negative - her age, her skin, her clothes, her face, her shape, whether she is too skinny or not, whether she can perform or not, whether she can sing or not, who she married , who she didn't marry, who she divorced, and on and on and on.

How about she is just a woman who has a job which involves publicity, a lot of publicity. She has achieved well in her job, for whatever reasons, and has raised to a fairly high degree of 'famousness.'

So she has dated and married people and it hasn't worked out - as have many other women.
So she has changed shape over the years she has been famous - just like other women do.
So she has aged (VERY!) slightly - you know what with getting older, like the rest of us age too.
So she wears make up and fake tan and does her hair , again like thousands of women in and out of the public eye.

So she may or may not be pregnant to her boyfriend - and, what???
She owes no one anything. She doesn't have to announce anything if she doesn't want to, or she can chose to announce it in a glossy magazine, whatever. Her choice. As far as I know, NO ONE is forced to buy the magazines, buy books, buy CDs or watch Tv programmes featuring her.

And it is really really easy to avoid too! Seeing as this is the first time I have seen it being discussed anywhere.

DownWithThisSortaThing · 30/10/2016 10:02

Hulababy - agree completely.

JeanGenie23 · 30/10/2016 10:08

hulababy fantastically out and I agree totally

Isitadoubleentendre · 30/10/2016 10:23

She went into great depth about the malaria on the Piers Morgan interview and was very upset about it, how she nearly died etc.

Unless the whole time she was talking about an eating disorder, which is actually really Sad

Isitadoubleentendre · 30/10/2016 10:25

Because maybe it isn't Liam's and she's not going to tell what's going on? (The people who are most interested in her potential pregnancy will have heard the rumour going round for years so I'm not repeating it here.)

I can't believe no one picked this up earlier - what rumour???

Isitadoubleentendre · 30/10/2016 10:27

Oh and I love how whenever there is a thread on here about someone super famous, one poster will always come on here and demonstrate how superior they are to the hoi polloi by saying 'who is that'?

SleepFreeZone · 30/10/2016 10:49

No one picked up on it earlier because it's nonsense and bullshit. I find when there is a huge amount of conspiracy and gossip, that in the middle of it there is usually nothing very interesting and all is as suspected.

There is a woman who is now over 30, independently wealthy. Had hoped she would have children with her husband but the relationship didn't work out do she fell into another relationship quickly and fell pregnant in the honeymoon phase. Happens every day of the week, even happened to me (without the celebrity and money sadly Grin).

She is keeping shtum for as long as possible because she knows the press will have a field day and the Father's ex fan base will be increasingly vile. It all makes perfect sense to me. If I were her I would never confirm the news, just have the baby and keep her personal life as private as possible.

toastytoastbear · 30/10/2016 10:50

one poster will always come on here and demonstrate how superior they are to the hoi polloi by saying 'who is that'?

YES. I hate those hooting assholes, they pop up all over Facebook celeb articles too. Aye dead on you've never heard the name Kardashian 🙄

SleepFreeZone · 30/10/2016 10:50

*very uninteresting.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 30/10/2016 11:05

If you want to know rumours about Cheryl and Liam, just google Chim or Ziam. If you don't, don't, and it doesn't make you a bad person either way. Just make sure you have an open mind, lots of time on your hands, and you're not a judgemental self righteous pop culture snob.

Everything we see of Cheryl is a media construct. Obviously she's not obliged to announce anything - but equally there's nothing wrong with people who are interested.

Isitadoubleentendre · 30/10/2016 11:12

The Chim thing is rubbish though isn't it? Kim has already had a baby last year with her husband, so there would be no weight to the idea that this new baby is anything special in that relationship iyswim?

Whentheshipgoesdown · 30/10/2016 11:15

I reckon Chim and Ziam are both BS to be honest but the rumours about Chez are very persistent.

i also did plenty to be ashamed of at 19 but not assaulting a toilet attendant.

Anyone else notice how similar the Chez pictures are to the definitely fake Janet Jackson pap pictures?

Isitadoubleentendre · 30/10/2016 11:19

but the rumours about Chez are very persistent

What rumours? That Cheryl is pregnant?

toastytoastbear · 30/10/2016 11:21

The rumours are that she's gay. I don't think she is

HappyAxolotl · 30/10/2016 12:25

Yes, the gay rumour is the one I was referring to. Anyone who is a big Cheryl fan will probably have heard it and I didn't want to say what is was because a) it's probably rubbish and b) why should being gay be any sort of shock or scandal these days?

However, if Cheryl did want to keep a real relationship (of any combination of sex & genders) out of the limelight, what better way than with a series of ten minute husbands and are they/aren't they? boyfriends?
