Oh shutup, Giselle

[Belle]

Latest annoying celeb mum: Giselle.

Apparently she meditated through 8 hrs of labour, and was up next day making pancakes. She then did some swimwear modelling 6 weeks later. Good for you lady. That's not to touch on her proposition to make breastfeeding compulsory (how?!).

Shutup Giselle

[number 2]

i think i would have to punch the silly cow in the face if i was to bump into her. i guess she's not one of the famous that frequent ed these days though eh?

[kiyoaki]

Seriously SERIOUSLY annoying woman. What about the women who can't breastfeed for medical or any other reasons?!! Urgh what an ignorant comment.

Swimwear modelling 6 weeks later - suppose that should be compulsory too?!

[Moos]

The vacuous expresssions of spoilt airbrushed models aside, who on earth at the NCT decided it would be reasonable to expect private rooms for breastfeeding all over the place? It would be lovely, but how would it be paid for?

[Polly D]

Ugh, these were my exact words to Ms Bundchen when I heard this on the news yesterday. Who is she trying to impress? Not me.

[Lochie]

grrrr saw this in Metro yesterday and thought 'what a knob!!' Hasn't she had a nose job though?!!! She's not exactly mother earth!!!

[Ruth_Baldock]

Oh, bugger off Giselle. Just bugger right off.

[Belle]

To be honest, the swimwear-modelling annoys me least - I mean, she's Giselle, that's what she does. But the other stuff, ugh. I really feel sorry for any new, struggling mum reading that.

yes lochie, rumour has it that's not the only surgery she's had. hah!

[standswithfist]

Blimey does that mean if it was law I would have been sent straight to jail for not breastfeeding for more than a few weeks!? I could have done with the rest!! ;-)

[ladywotlunches]

Even more annoying is the comment from DVO that she couldn't continue to BF past 3 weeks because of photographers who might take photos of her in Starbucks while she was feeding. So the latte is more important then Denise??

I don't have any objection to bottle feeding if that's a choice/necessity for the mum, but this reason is just pathetic... These 'celebs' need to get a life.

[tinkerbell]

I agree - Denise's comments are just plain wrong for the reason ladywotlunches says - and Giselle's are out of touch with reality. However I am giving her the benefit of the doubt that her comments could have been twisted as of course, I believe, women should TRY and breast feed for 6 months given it is undisputedly the best start in life for your baby and that has to come first - but I absolutely sympathise with women who can't as it must be so upsetting. Women who 'won't' however due to vanity I can not relate to.

[Lochie]

The most annoying thing I've ever heard out of a celeb's mouth is SJP when she claimed she loved the smell of dirty nappies in Elle magazine:

?I love the smell of diapers; I even like when they?re wet and you smell them all warm liked a baked good."

Hmmmm.....bucket please!

[ladywotlunches]

If SJP likens nappies to 'baked goods' (which I'm taking to mean croissants etc??) - then no wonder she's so skinny. That's a seriously warped sense of smell/taste!!!

[nicolemodesti]

Well SJP can definitely have my sons nappy especially when he proudly says 'Done a poo Mummy' and tells my husband'No Daddy only Mummy change it' if he tries to!! She is more than welcome to them!

[Moos]

I think it's easier to have a more cosy and affectionate view of the technicalities of baby-rearing when you have day and night nannies to help you out. Changing the odd pooey nappy probably is fun. Doing it 5 times a day because you have to, less so.

[Smiler]

V.annoyed with the Giselle quotes in Metro, especially those relating to labour (e.g. "it is called labour not a holiday", "I did lots of yoga to prepare", "I wasn't expecting anyone else to get the baby out for me"). Am probably feeling over-sensitive as am heavily pregnant and not a supermodel!

Purely gossip, and on another topic, but with respect to SJP's surrogate twins, d'you think she used her own eggs, or the surrogate's / a donor's? I read (in "quality" publications such as Heat magazine) that often older celebs who have babies use donor eggs.

[Saila]

since when did anyone give a monkeys about what an unknown model thinks?

she's a nobody and her opinions really only have relevance to herself and her direct family

even for 'silly season' this is dull dull dull

cant we have another contradictory study to cry/debate over?
