So, it’s the end of the week. And, boy, what a week it’s been. We’ve got a new PM, a slightly adjusted cabinet and, let’s be honest, a nationwide case of hard news overload.
Chances are you were more interested in Rudd and Gillard than Kerr and Kardashian.
But that’s okay. Because, here at MM we’re your (admittedly self-appointed) Ministers for Fluff. Here’s our weekly report on what went on in Celebrity Land:
1. Miranda Kerr has revealed her tips for a happy and healthy marriage, which include letting hubby Orlando Bloom “feel like the man in the relationship”.
In an interview with Net-A-Porter, in which the 30-year-old model discussed motherhood and those Victoria’s Secret rumours (in case the pointed italics didn’t give it away, we mean the rumours that she was unceremoniously dropped), Kerr also talked candidly about relationship with the 36-year-old Bloom.
Kerr started off by explaining that she thinks “it is really important not to feel as a woman that you have to do and be everything.” She continued, “I am quite dominant in my career, so what really works for me when I come home, is to relax more into the feminine side. If you’re really an alpha female, you don’t allow [your partner] to have the space to feel like the man in the relationship.”

I love Miranda Kerr for this :) somewhere along the way 'feminism' became this badge we must all wear and suddenly become both man, woman and superhero lol frankly...it's an unrealistic expectation and i'm not a fan of being frowned upon for not wanting to be a CEO lol I am a Paediatric nurse studying to also be a midwife and someday i hope to have a husband and children..hec throw me in a golden retriever and i may just take the white picket fence lol We seem so determined to squash 'gender roles' that we've forgotten it's who we are...(well a good portion of us) no matter the man he has this inner sense to want to provide and protect his family, to cherish and care for them...so as his wife you can boost than in him...not by playing the damsel in distress but by encouraging and building up that alpha male in him. As a women...and i really do believe every woman...we do get tired of being miss independent and sometimes we just want to cuddle up into some strong arms and rest for a while. Why should we be ashamed of that? it doesn't make us any less weak...it makes us human :) frankly i'm looking forward to the day i can bake some brownies on my day off while i watch my husband flex those muscle mowing the lawn ;) a good dose of the 1950's is what this world needs :)
How true. I often have a laugh at the people on here who jump on the feminist bandwagon and attack another person for wanting to be true to themselves. They say you are letting down the sisterhood!
I often think they forget that men and woman ARE different! And viva la difference, I say! They seem to be so bitter and spiteful, and at worst, hateful towards men. I feel so sorry for them. Don't they have any men in their lives that they love and would die for? ie, husband, father, sons, brothers, nephews, cousins, friends. They are not all bad, and some are absolutely gorgeous.
I think most of the hard work was done 20-30 years ago. Women can pretty much do what they want to now.
I love being a stay-at-home with my young kids. They do so many, wonderful, interesting things that you can never get back. There is a wonderful contentment in nuturing and guiding your children, creating a family life, and not being stressed about racing to work, meeting deadlines, etc. Yes, I agree a dose of the 1950's is what this world needs.
I know right! Isn't the whole point of feminism for women to have the right to chose the life they want? Why is a women letting down her sex by wanting to be exactly who she is lol you said it..men and women are different...nothing to be ashamed of...i cant lift a couch over my head lol and frankly im glad for that...I quite like that i can wear a pretty dress and heels lol i like that for a moment i can rest in the arms of someone stronger than me :) We spend so much time tearing our men down for being who they were created to be and trying to assert ourselves higher and for what? so we can end up alone and stressed out for being overworked and stretched into a million different roles...no thanks lol
I would watch Rodger Corser read the phone book! Looking forward to Party Tricks.
