End of Intermission

Sadly our few days of news where Orlando was more prevalent than his Mantis seem to be over. This morning I have been deluged with what seems like an entire dung heap of Mantis Drivel.

We can start with Orlando and his words of joy / suicidal expresssioned interview.... I have to hand it to the Bambi interviewer - they spent an awful lot of time flashing the mantis boobies but it was that classic moment when the asked Orlando how he felt about it all and he came out with some stock answer and looked completely embarrassed - poor sod! Not for the first time recently I really felt for him.. Still he looked a lot happier attending his cousins screening of his new enviro flick (above)! Enjoy it while you can OB, we all heard the enthusiasm in your voice when you were describing Christmas with your inlaws .....

But enough of that, let us move on to the Mantis appearance on an Oz TV show. The thing that tickled me in the small part I could actually stomach watching was that obviously the interviewer wasn't quite appreciating the Mantis' success enough for her, to the extent that her second or third response effectively involved telling him how well she'd done. Sadly that was the highlight, it started on a low point and went downhill from there in my opinion, but thats probably because i am one of the fat and jellus..

Then of course we have the written media coverage of our favourite Earth mother. I don't know about you but i was very glad to hear that she will be "present" for the birth ( it could get a bit messy if she wasn't there), some fabulous advice about lifestyle and the immortal lines that unlike us fat n jellus cowz she doesnt come home after a stressful day and reach for the Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 and the TV remote. Instead she (and apparently poor old OB too) get to meditate and do power yoga... no wonder Orlando is looking a tad rough round the edges, I just hope he gets plenty of slobbing in when he's away from home...

Isn't it interesting how she reveals all about her pregnancy right when the VS shows are in the press... i'm sure thats just a coincidence though, after all, we ALL know how private she is.....
