Pregnant Milla Jovovich criticized for looking "enormous" at movie premiere

milla_j.jpgDaily Mail, I think I officially hate you. One of their headlines today reads, "Enormous Milla shows what NOT to wear when you are pregnant" and features photos of an eight months pregnant Milla Jovovich wearing a flowing gown at the world premiere of her new movie Resident Evil: Extinction. The article tells us that the "former model" seemed to be "an example of what not to wear in the final stages of pregnancy". Wow. I must have missed the memo that explains that you're supposed to try to look as slim as possible when you're just days away from giving birth.

On her website, Milla said that she's "so huge you guys!" and joked about her weight saying "all I did was eat three bagels every morning with butter, peanut butter and jelly all over them" and then "a few boxes of Krispy Creme donuts for lunch". For Christ's sake. She's PREGNANT. She is one of the most beautiful women on the planet, and she's getting shit for looking "too big" when she's eight months pregnant. Some world we live in.

Oooh well said Cate. You have just made me write about this too and remember the stick Marcia Cross got too - for the horrendous crime of getting fatter while pregnant.

"I must have missed the memo that explains that you're supposed to try to look as slim as possible when you're just days away from giving birth."

That's just a great quote. And I fucking love Milla. She looks stunning, pregnant or not.

If they think that's fat I've got some photos to show them of my last month of pregnancy. She looks fabulous! Daily Mail can bite me.

She does look great yes but more to the point she looks healthily pregnant.

If 3 weeks after the birth she emerges lithe and completely free of all that 'enormous' post-baby weight the headlines will surely be full of words like "horrifically thin","gaunt" and "starving herself".

You can't win!

Well if that's hideous, the rest of us mere mortals who get up the duff will be classified as monstrous. I swear.

What do they expect her to wear? Or should she just be shut up in a room until she has birthed her spawn and lost the weight?
