Ah but who is carrying the child, her or a surrogate as per the first kid.
sorry, what exactly does this mean?
There has been lots of rumours on this and no confirmation, so id not say its true just yet.
Interesting first world definition of brave there.
Yes.
Compare her to those on the front line in Afghanistan; people undergoing gruelling treatment for life threatening illnesses and people trying to change social injustice in the 3rd world, and a spoilt, egotistical diva who will have every comfort thrown at her whilst earning $100,0000,0000000000000 per second for miming to a few records IS SO BRAVE.
I thought she had cancelled her tour due to illness or is it someone else I can't keep up these days
it means she has taken to motherhood completely
Why do people do this?
as opposed to...
Half-heartedly?
I think she should be given a medal
Red Ethel? Green Jupiter?
do ye know something I don't ?
*Sniggers*
not taking to it, haven't you ever heard the term earth mother before?
Absolutely I have, that's my whole point. I hear this god-awful cliche wheeled out by the media ad nauseam and have yet to fathom what it actually means.
As far as I can decipher, it means a female celebrity who is frequently pictured doing seemingly 'normal' things with her offspring whilst wearing 'normal' clothes and cracking 'normal' facial expressions. See also Halle Berry, Heidi Klum, Jennifer Garner, etc.
In other words it could be used to encompass any celebrity parent bar Victoria Beckham. Or indeed, any parent at all who doesn't have a bevvy of nannies, hired help and designer togs at their disposal.
We have no idea whether, behind the cameras, a woman is a so-called 'earth mother' or not. I'm willing to bet that every celeb has at least one nanny and we don't have a CLUE which of these ladies has 'embraced motherhood wholeheartedly' or in fact struggled with PND, feelings of regret, etc etc.
That's why the phrase 'earth mother' is stoopid.
