On Saturday we heard the terrible news of Miss. Holden losing her baby after being 6 months pregnant. Everyone was sympatric to the woman, even myself when I’ve made cheap jokes about Amanda Holden in the past about her botox but I only offer sympathy to the woman. Any woman who has a miscarriage is just terrible.
In such terrible times, it’s only natural that someone of Jan Moir’s stature to burst into the room offering her take on the matter. From previous articles notably her piece on Stephen Gately it was just to stir the pot. I don’t know why she does this. There’s times when you can’t say much, but she tries and turns it into a subject which she can talk about so she can get her paycheck from the Daily Mail.
Now to pick at her points like a scab.
Forgive me for saying so, but more likely than not the grim truth is that they are feeding off the rich nutrition of the grief industry, their mawkish Twitter inanities another conduit promoting them as lovely, compassionate and thoughtful people. The tweet is a cheap and tasteless way of burnishing their profile and increasing their value.
The condolence tweeters are drunk on attention; they are stars who have lost any sense of perspective or decorum a long time ago.Come off it, Jan. Friends or not, you’re always going to send her messages of support because it’s human nature to do so. When I wish someone luck or to get well soon, I mean it.
For surely those celebrities who actually know and are friends with Miss Holden - and that does seem to be most of them listed here - should get in touch privately to express their sympathy in a more discreet and meaningful way? Such as a phone call, a bunch of flowers or - dare I even suggest it - a private, handwritten note of condolence?I’m sure she’s received personal messages in other forms than Twitter, Jan. You’re just an observer, do you have any inside knowledge? No. You’re just an offensive columnist.
Amanda Holden must have been greatly comforted by the fact that James Corden sandwiched his ¬sympathy tweet to her between ¬messages about a joke on Are You Being Framed? and details about a West Ham football match.That’s just unfortunate timing, silly. From that, can’t you see that James only just heard about it? It was spontaneous, did he know that she had an miscarriage before it even happened? No.
Fair play Jan Moir. Showing your class by capitalising on someone's loss to turn it into a rant on something else. Not at all surprised since this article was for the Daily Fail but still amazes me that the article's comment section only shows positive reviews/comments on the article. Another reason not to buy the Daily Fail, then. The whole irony in this article is how she describes these tweets as “offensive, narcissistic and trite” when she’s done exactly that with her article. Play her off, Keyboard cat.
