Thank you Amanda Holden, I did not really want to know the secrets of your underwear.

Amanda HoldenWhy on earth do celebrities feel the need to reveal intimate infomation of the kind best kept within the boudoir.
I did not need to know that the lovely Amanda uses Spanx to keep her muffin top under control. In a completely unnecessary article in the Mail Online Amanda describes herself as having "a stomach which hangs over my trousers".

Whoa there honey! Way too much information.

It's not that I'm unrealistically expecting her to be some kind of slim dreamlike fantasy woman. After all she's 40 something and a mother of 2 so she's entitled to show some wear and tear. It's just that I didn't really need to know the "deus ex machina" of how she maintains the illusion.

Maybe some comfort can be found by speculating on why she feels such a need to tell all. It might be some kind of inverted way of dealing with her insecurities. She must have some or else why continually deny them?

Of course I don't know what it's like to be a woman past her prime, who has had a career way beyond her meagre talents and now sees what remains of that career slipping away with each passing year. Who wouldn't have insecurities? Maybe she deals with them by trying to garner popularity by saying that she's just like everybody else. It's not working though, as she'd know if she only read the comments every time she has an article like this published about her. She's pretty much hated by everybody. So seeing that it's not really working honey, why not stop and let those of us, who think you're gorgeous, intelligent and funny, keep our pathetic illusions about your undergarments.
