PiscesCelebrity Moms Make It Look Too Easy
Guest blogger Jessica Katz: Celeb moms put a lot of subconscious pressure on real moms. As a mom, I find that it is really hard not to be totally influenced by them. If you look at any blog or magazine, you see pictures of them slender, traveling and breezing through what is a really hard time in life: motherhood.

The most annoying thing about it is that they try to hide all the help. You rarely see a nanny around the Brangelina gang yet they must travel with at least two or three. Victoria Beckham for years tried to insist that she didn’t have help- until she was busted by the papparazzi.
Expat Mum you are so right! They do hide all their help and “handlers!” I think they send out ridiculous and confusing signs about body image. Yesterday I was flipping through channels (long after my 3 were put to bed my me or my husband!) and stopped on “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” I was amazed first of all that all those women look just alike! (they must all go to the same plastic surgeon.) But I heard one of the women say she was a size 2-4 which was (and I quote) “HUGE by Hollywood standards!” I am SICK of Hollywood standards. These women are terribly out of touch…..yet held up on the internet, in books, magazines, and TV as examples of “Having it all!” C’mon Hollywood…….get real! And c’mon celeb mom’s……just admit you have help……tons of it! I wish I knew who to write to about this. When a size 2 is saying she is huge…..then it’s time to take action.
I know what you’re trying to say, and you’re right, but it’s kind of rude to say that celebrities aren’t real moms.
lol…..I didn’t say they weren’t “real” moms (whatever that is). I simply said they need to “get real, or rather get honest! How is that any more rude than saying a size 2 is huge?
Some celeb moms may hide the help, but Heidi Klum has been VERY upfront about the help she gets and the amount of work she’s had to put in to get back in shape in time for shows for which she was contractually obligated. Also, not for nothing, but in the last show, she appeared in a very strategic, corseted outfit. The stomach area was NOT on display.
I agree with you 1000% I would love for all these celeb moms to admit that they have help it is not a crime and honestly if I had the money I will hire someone to help me. I also hate all these celeb mothers who say that they lost all the pregnancy weight by breast-feeding. First of all, althought it is true you loose some weight while breastfeeding I find it impossible to believe that you lost all this weight in 6 weeks by just breastfeeding. I breastfeed both my kids and the most I lost was 10 pounds. And not to make this too long I HATE all the Real Housewife shows going on, why don’t they find real stay at home moms that take care of their kids and house to do this show instead of all these rich women that all they do is drink, shop and party. The day they do a show with REAL housewifes then I’ll watch it.
I worked out through out my pregnancies and 3-5 weeks after (depending on dr. approval) I was back to my regular size within 8-10 weeks. Plus I worked. I did this with only my husband’s help - no nannies, personal trainers, cooks, etc. So really it’s all about staying on a schedule.
I say good for celebs - it’s their job to stay attractive. I don’t find them threatening in the least because I’m confident in myself.
Outstanding write-up, bookmarked for future referrence
Have you witnessed the other incarnations of your logo? They are all the more of a mess.
I was looking for this kind of review for about 1 hour.. i’m glad i found it. Great piece of work, continue it. Best Regards.
I live in the “real world” so I feel no threat from celebrities who have all the money at their disposal to hire chefs, trainers, nurses, nannies and whatever else. Don’t be jealous, just love your life, your family, and yourself and don’t worry about other people lives.
