Babies are another commodity to sell on the Z list. Next step forward on her career.

So she is the whore cos she dated a married man?? Yet he appears to of got off Scott free. If she was with him just for publicity surely she would of sold the story when she was with him. If he hadnt of lied to a judge and said she was threatening to blackmail him to gain an injunction ..this story may not of got out. I'm not saying she is some innocent here ,but let's remember this is a man who was sleeping with his brothers wife for 7 years.. We don't know what line he spun her and maybe she genuinely thought they would be a couple..

I called her a media wh*re

And I said she started dressing like a wh*re and hanging around with Aisleyne. That was pre-Giggs.

Has anyone else said she's a wh*re?

To be fair this thread is about Imogen and not Giggs so you could forgive people for focussing on her and the fact that she has chosen to do a completely inappropriate photoshoot to announce her pregnancy kind of undermines the whole "she's not a cheap tart" debate. But that's just my opinion.

If you want my opinion Giggs is a complete dog.

Infact I've just re-read your post, who is it directed at because I can't see any posts that relate to what you're saying? It's like you've gone to the "Cliches to defend Imogen Thomas" text book and randomly picked out one.

Not that hard to understand really. Many on the DS Showbiz forum think that if a celebrity does anything, it's to "raise profile" and to gain press attention.

I've lost count of the amount of times i've read threads in Showbiz about various things with at least one reply that reads "Publicity Stunt ?". Don't get me wrong, i'm certainly not some deluded teen who takes everything at face value because I fully accept that there are celebs out there who do do things purely for increased profile but I also do think that there are plenty of things that aren't.

So by "whoring herself out" are you referring to her career as a glamour model ?

*edit*

You posted while I was still typing so I edited..

You didn't, it was a general "you" so my fault for not making that clear.

I guess we'll see. But then there are certain figures in the public eye who could do no right either way, so I suspect that if she gave a single, solitary interview between now and her child's 4 week old birthday, that would still be a problem for some ..

Don't know if this question still stands because you edited but just wanted to add that I don't really think there's any shame in being a glamour model. It's the endless kiss and tells and going all out for attention that will lead people to have less sympathy for you in the long run.

You have to love the absolute about-face of DS Showbiz forum, where having a baby seemingly = instant canonization.

The women you all love to have a good bitch about suddenly become worthy of 'the benefit of the doubt' once they are stupid enough to let some footballer or other rich brainless specimen impregnate them...and don't tell me these pregnancies are always planned?

Et voila! Suddenly she's framed in a soft glow, showing off her bump for OK magazine and all previous allegations of being a home-wrecker and publicity wh*re are long forgotten. See also: Danielle Lloyd, (former 'racist thug', now mother) and the late Jade Goody (ditto).

Sorry, but my opinion of Imogen isn't going to change because she is 'with child'. A woman doesn't garner automatic sympathy because of what is essentially a natural biological process. If she buggered off out of the limelight and maybe got a day job, went back to uni or did something to benefit people other than herself, I might just feel differently about her, but not because she's pregnant, for God's sake. The hypocrisy of people on here who behave as if anyone who continues to slate her is some sort of 'vile jellus bully' when they've spent the best part of their time on DS showbiz doing just that, is staggering. She's got a foetus in her womb- she hasn't sprouted a pair of wings and a halo, ffs.

And just to answer the backlash- I've been no angel either. But there's a bit of a difference between, say, smoking a shed-load of gange and having too much casual sex and, y'know, sleeping with a knowingly married man then continuing to exploit the situation for cash in the national media. Most women's basic rites of passage aren't disgustingly brazen and immoral, and if I had a daughter who followed the same ones I had, I wouldn't be ashamed of her. But could Imogen say the same?

And yes, Giggs is a dog. And really the one to blame. But this thread isn't about him.

Doubt it. The prob most people have with her is her empty vacuous relentless fame whoring. If she did ^^^, I think people would give her a solid thumbs up.

That photoshoot is tacky as hell but par for the course for a woman who has beans for brains. I think she's just about the dullest thickest most pointless zeleb around and her being pregnant doesn't change that.

This expectation that people should be happy for her is bizarre. Objectively wishing her well is one thing, which I can do, but other than that, I really wish she'd bore off.

[whydoiwatch]

Jeez, Millie. I don't think she's an angel because she's pregnant nor do I feel she's the Bride of Satan because of her past. I've called her dim in the past and I still think she is, but I've never thought she was an awful person. She's not the homewrecker, he is. She had no obligation to his family; HOWEVER I will never condone knowingly carrying on with a married man. She was shitty for doing that no doubt.
Part of being a good parent is being a hypocrite, pure and simple.

[JasonWatkins]

My main problem with this perception of "endless kiss and tells" and, to paraphrase, "just not shutting up" is that the media tend to reproduce interviews multiple times which gives the impression that the person in question is continually talking about whatever the issue is.

Cheryl Cole always springs to mind in that respect. I think she gave one interview to, I think, Grazia, and it was reproduced 4 times in The Sun alone, each time from a different perspective and many people assumed that she was giving multiple interviews.

I think Tulisa's interview with Alan Carr where she talked about "the tape" was re-produced at least twice in the Sun as well, with both times being presented as entirely new interviews.

So I don't really buy the notion that Imogen has given "endless kiss and tells" because my experience, based on what i've read, tells me it's likely she may have only given one or two interviews at most about the Giggs affair.

Obviously she's given interviews to accompany her glamour shoots ..

Oh well, all I can say about this woman is that if you leave the door permanently ajar the flies will get in....in my opinion she has had her door propped well and truly open

Good luck to her.

In fact if I was being reeeally cynical I'd say that getting oneself up the spout is instant atonement from one's previous sins and a possible fast-track to 'nation's sweetheart' status. But I think I'll stop now.

[sarahcs]

Twelve weeks and due in January? She needs to see the doc. I'm 13 weeks and due mid-Feb.

[johartuk]

I find it bizarre the way these Z-listers get pregnant by men they've only been with for a short time (or, in the case of males, get their girlfriends pregnant). What's wrong with using contraception and getting to know your partner and settle into a committed relationship before starting a family? It's not as if there aren't plenty of options where contraception is concerned these days.

Having a baby puts huge pressure on even the strongest of relationships, never mind relationships that are still being established.

I am shocked but pleased for her

Imogen is a very pretty girl who has made mistakes, but who hasn't in life. This could me the making of her and you can tell from her interview that she is genuinely pleased!

Just that the way you phrased it, to me anyway didn't make sense. Of course she's made mistakes in life, as have all of us, and Giggs was perhaps her biggest one.

I personally don't know how you found it confusing?
