    Pregnant women never just go out dressed in - you know - clothes in DM land. They are either concealing their bump ( wearing something baggy) or flaunting their bump (wearing something tight).

    Or 'showcasing their bump'.

    Great thread! :D

    Another common DMism is a female celebrity who has lost a few pounds 'sparks fears with her gaunt appearance'. Usually followed by a before and after photo which look exactly the same.

    The Romp usage annoys me.

    Also their bipolar nature....one minute arse licking say Kate Middleton the next it's all waity Katie etc?????????

    Their are sooooo many 'celebs' in it now a days who I don't even recognise or know by name. It does make you wonder where the real news has gone, even celeb related news is all mediocre like x is wearing x.......It's just tedious.

    Now you are a celebrity if your cousin's next door neighbour went to school with someone who had it away with some footballer's best mate's sister's pal.

    Women never just go shopping with their kids. They are always struggling with their bags or "juggling" their shopping and their "adorable tots".

    Men never just spend time with their kids. They play the doting dad.

    Overweight z-listers always seem to be pictured running along a beach in a too-small bikini, or casually exercising in a bra and thong in the local park.

    Nobody has hair. They have tresses or locks.

    The DM has always been a crappy paper, but its inane obsession with Kim Kardashian and Kelly bloody Brook make it seem like every article is written by the same dirty old man.

    And not forgetting all fathers spending time with their kids are 'bonding' with them (even those who actually live with them!). Mere mortals tend to do that in the first few weeks of life if I recall.

    Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

    But calling on her gal pals to help ease her relationship woes, Suki Waterhouse got involved in a good old fashioned girls' night out.

    Stepping out in a Clueless themed ensemble, the 23-year-old did well to show her ex exactly what he is missing as she donned a thigh skimming pink plaid mini skirt.

    I would say Bradley Cooper doesn't give a stuff and never has done!

    Good old Daily Mail.

    Its always news that a child looks a bit like one or both of its parents too.

    I noticed the other day their main website headline was about a footballer buying some sort of new flashy car - and how awful it was.

    Well they could have an article every day talking about some highly paid "celeb" spending THEIR money on an expensive luxury.

    Any non-pregnant woman wearing a loose or baggy top is always "sparking pregnancy rumours".

    Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

    Poor Suki.
    The devastation is all over her face.

    Have you alerted Mrs Leicester Hunk to the fact that her heart throb Bradley is once again free, single and ready to mingle?
    If I was you I'd hide her passport just to be on the safe side.
    :D

    The Showbiz reporting is one of their strong points!! Try finding a good Science or technology article on the Mail online or in the paper.

    Don't get me started on that one. Her mate has got them tickets for the elephant man in London at the end of July. I just hope she doesn't get herself arrested.

    Hilarious this thread, and so true. The DM has atrocious journalism- makes you wonder how many of their staff passed their SATs, let alone English GCSEs. I have never heard of most of the 'celebrities' in the sidebar of shame, considering I thought I was fairly media-savvy. I do look though, because I can't resist the urge to point and laugh (or *tut*).

    "Racy tights".

    Usually referring to patterned tights.

    I am a massive hosiery fan, but this "racy" word really boils my urine.

    Guess you're right about BC "not giving a stuff" since I understood they were all business arrangements..

    The Daily Mail is quite laughable with their headlines and articles at times, but for the wrong reasons. Their articles are absolute typical tabloid stuff. Misleading, giving the total wrong impression and at times, even lying.

    The fact is that for the most part the DM employees lazy, sensationalist and inexperienced journalists with very little aptitude for their job.

    Current, but slightly off-topic I know, but says it all really. Tabloid journalism, not just the showbiz sections that are a pile of ****.

    If you are a celeb who lives or visits LA, then at some point in the Fail you will be:

    'running errands'.

    This is code for, *insert celebrity name's* management wants us to print some totally pointless pictures and accompanying piffle about *insert celebrity name* being seen outside, doing something.

    Women don't have legs in the Daily Mail, they have pins. When they aren't showing off their pins they are revealing some "side-boob."

    From the same newspaper that wants to cleanup the internet. 90% of their sidebar of shame is women in various states of undress.

    Now you are a celebrity if your cousin's next door neighbour went to school with someone who had it away with some footballer's best mate's sister's pal.

    :D sad .....but so true it's depressing.:o

    A lot of these low run models or reality nobodies, and is it just me or do they seem to be pushing for these double barraled socialite types too?????

    I can't help but scroll the side bar but much ofit is either laughable or just irrelevant.:D

    The amount of obvious staged photo ops is cringeworthy, ie Louisa z in America etc it's obvious they contact them too keep such nobodies relevant.:confused: too much Kim k for me......weird obsession imo.

    Also how some of the craptastic celeb articles are penned/copied/stolen from elsewhere with bad fact-checking and presented by 'A Daily Mail Reporter', top of page, no name.

    Because the piece is such bunk nobody wants to be the one to blame when they are flooded with comments calling them out.

    They also campaign against child porn when they print article after article of extremely creepy "all grown up" stories, in which the "grown up" is more often than not a minor.

    Edit - Lenitive beat me to it. :blush::D
