Ange does a Demi

You heard it here first.

What does every pregnant celeb do to prove that a mummy is still yummy?

That's right. A magazine cover!

Ange is posing on the cover of the July issue of Vanity Fair shot by Patrick Demarchelier including a 12 page spread inside a la Demi.

Can't wait!

Is this really news?

Prepare yourselves people. Angelina Jolie is *gasp* PREGNANT.

WITH TWINS.

I never EVER would have suspected.

Thank you Today. We needed the confirmation.

Ange said:

"Unlike most women, I love being pregnant." She added that pregnancy makes "you feel like more like a woman than you've ever felt. You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby."

Happy Mother's Day

Depending on what part of the world you live in, it is (or recently was) Mother's Day. First order of business: Happy Mother's Day (especially to the new mums!). Next, there are some fantastic 'secrets' on PostSecret this week in honour of this special day we think about mothers/motherhood. A few great ones about pregnant/post-pregnant body image...For those of you that aren't in the know, PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

Elizabeth Hasselback post-baby in a bikini

Elizabeth Hasselback is back in action on the cover of Fitness just six months since birthing her second baby. According to the former View host:

"I finally told myself ... 'I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run.' "

In order to get back into shape, Hasselback worked out intensely for six weeks with a wheat-free diet because apparently "her goal wasn't to lose weight she just wanted to eat healthier and have more energy."

Clearly. Working out hardcore for six weeks had nothing to do with the fact that she would be appearing in a bikini on a magazine.

Liz's losing battle

Headline: Despite endless diets, Liz Hurley's curves are very noticeably growing. Is it a baby on the way or is she losing her battle to hold back time?

Why is it that a woman's stomach can only be 'fat' or 'pregnant' and never in-between if it is not unambiguously flat? Cultural norms continually reiterate that a distended stomach (and I don't see any sign of a bloated belly on Liz) indicates either pregnancy or fatness and nothing ‘in-between’. Whilst the stomach itself does not possess any inherent meaning, its public meaning is created depending on who is doing the ‘looking’ (for example, the media). This whole fiasco about Liz being pregnant or not reinforces the fact that women can never be 'in-between' pregnancy and non-pregnancy. If you are not one or the other, you are just perceived to be fat or in Liz's case 'losing the battle to hold back time'. *sigh*

Ange and her bump

Headline: Fit to burst: Angelina Jolie takes her huge baby bump for a helicopter ride

I don't know about you, but I hardly think that Ange looks 'fit to burst'. Um..she's a pregnant woman, not the Michelin man.

The 'truth' comes out

The word on the street is Halle Berry has been looking so 'hot' in the last week because she's been shoving her post-baby body into Spanx, the girdle for the stars. She was snapped yesterday looking much more like every other new mother in the world with a bit of a tummy.
