Please say I'm not the only one...............

who felt the Mylene Klass hour was not aimed at the usual audience of QVC !

I thought it targeted the yummy mummies who have a lettuce leaf for lunch, and who want to 'ping' back after giving birth to Sophie or Jack.

Clearly Jonathan Shalit - the agent of Ms Klass, feels that QVC could provide another money spinner for his client (and him), he's probably not wrong !!!

I often channel hop on QVC for a laugh but didn't bother today,you know, even this didn't tempt me. There's something about the fur lover Mylene (no)Klass I just can't bring myself to even look at, as for the presenters all fawning over the once Z Lister, that would've just been too much. But I believe you brissles, that's just what I'd have expected.

I don't know much about Myleene, however I'm very sceptical of any "celeb" - (and I use the word very generously) endorsed fitness vids. There's just something about it that I find too worthy and patronising - like all you had to do is buy Davina or Myleene's vid to benefit from their pearls of wisdom - usually in something like 5 minutes a day.

A few years back the market with was rather saturated with zzz-listers touting vids of them hula-hooping, stepping and swishing in their Flashdance-style leotards.

These people generally go to the best gyms, have personal trainers, excellent diets and a whole entourage of people to do things for them that lesser mortals have deal with by themselves.

I suppose anything that gets people exercising is not necessarily a bad thing, but we know these DVDs are going to end up being flogged for 50p at the car boot or, if you live in Chiswick or Muswell Hill, donated to one's local charity shop.

If you want to lose weight and tone up, go down your local gym or leisure centre and find an exercise activity you like doing, set reasonable goals and keep it consistent. More than anything, watch your diet.

I've never seen MK since the Hearsay days, so just had a quick look and oh my word, she's so up her own backside she can pop her head out of her mouth, goodness me. As far as I can see it's the personal trainers face that should be on the front of that DVD not Myleene Ass, and as quick as physically possible, over the channel goes.

Instead of wasting £46 on common sense and a mini been bag that no way on this earth will give you that flat tummy, excersise, eat well and hold something comfortable with a bit of weight to it from your home, a bag of King Eddies for instance. :mysmilie_14:

Just tuned to see what has turned out to be a rather disingenuous Myleene touting a fitness programme with a small, sand-filled cushion. She spoke about how she "interviewed loads of trainers as she was looking to create a fitness DVD." She's promising results "with just 15 minutes a day."
She's trying to come across as a normal mother who leads a busy life. DON'T BELIEVE YA, MYLEENE, SORRY!
They also just made a spurious claim so I'm complaining to the ASA about it!
I don't know why the vid isn't called: "Myleene Shakes Her Moneymaker!"

Littlewoods / Mothercare / presenting work / awards ceremonies / all achieved with the hand on the hip pose, so now its coining it in with QVC. Davina will be next - on how to get the anorexic look (no offence intended for those severely suffering with this ailment).

Davina has already done the flogging a fitness DVD gig on QVC. Every year you always find someone doing them. If QVC thinks they're upmarket enough they will be sniffing around. These people whole do this have the time, money and reason to live at the gym or have personal trainers. Looking slim is what pays the bills, heck I bet they can claim gym and all that as business expenses. They aren't at all relatable or relevant to most people's lives and budgets. Julius is right: go to your local facilities and find some type of exercise you love, and keep an eye on what you eat.

I literally. ( sorry that word annoying I know lol ) would not want to do all the things you need to get anbody like that unless my children were starving and somebody offered me a way out ... lettuce leaf land is not where I want to live..... life is too short ...and I’m too
Old for love island :mysmilie_17:

I might record my Myleene song and send it to her!

All these fitness videos are a waste of time, IMO. A few years ago I started going to the gym and then added a few classes and swimming. I was spending about one hour every day doing quite strenuous exercise but it took months before I saw a noticeable difference in my strength, breathing, muscle tone and weight loss.

I defy anyone to use MK’s video for 15 mins a day “in the comfort of their own home” and achieve a body like hers. The classes at the gym are relentless for an hour and we all encourage anyone who’s struggling. How can you replicate this amount of effort at home ?

The trouble is ... she is on everywhere .. TV .. radio all the time !
Can’t be doing with the “let’s not eat” society...don’t get me wrong .. I’ve been criticised myself for “not eating enough “
so I’m not a food or weight shamer ..it’s jist the making loads Wonga With unsustainable and unobtainable goals jist because your “famous “ ..... do me a favour .... lol ...just going out for a lovely walk whilst it’s cool
Much more enjoyable and keeps my weight comfortable ��

Not for me ... I would only watch the DVD lying on the couch eating a mars bar

I reckon she should do a porno...Tulisa style...that's be a good laugh. Can almost imagine the headlines: "No Klass: Myleene Gets her Knockers Out in Sex Tape Shocker!"

I had to re-read that :mysmilie_17: It sure as hell would be watched more times than her fitness DVD. As someone who has wasted far more money than any sense I'll have in a lifetime buying these bits of nonsense in the vain hope that I'll become a glamour puss overnight, I would advise going for a lie down with a glass of wine until the urge to purchase goes away.

It prob won’t be women buying it mostly ... flaunt yourself around and call it excerise dvd ... money in the pocket ... “everybody’s ‘appy” ... as one of Harry enfields characters would say :mysmilie_11: well it’s her choice ...flash in the pan
They should get “real women “ on their excerisisng and not auditioning for Vicky becks model catwalk

Being someone who is never impressed by celebrity, because I am also someone who thinks that the celebrities in our world are the ordinary hard working folk, some of whom are also carers, are the real celebs. I have never even given a thought to buying anything fronted by a celeb, and that includes Ruth Lanford.

I'm not easily taken in, and at the end of the day it is just money making exercises for their already full coffers or their retirement fund, and we are supposed to be impressed by them. I think the same as those who think we are interested in them sitting in the chair opposite a psychologist and spilling their beans about their sad ups and downs. Eh excuse me, they are not the only ones who have had sadness. Why they think we are interested in them is beyond me - then again they have agents, and we don't.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately I work in an environment that is obsessed with "celebs," and when people talk about them I generally haven't a clue who most of these people are. People often make fun of me for it, but I don't care.

Why would I care about someone who's gone to some island to be televised having sexual intercourse? Personally I think they should all be left on the island PERMANENTLY with no cameras. Just leave them there like Swiss Family Robinson!

What I've never understood is when musicians / actors / presenters talk about politics. Why would I care what Bono thinks? OR John Lydon? They're perfectly entitled to their opinion but why are they put on a pedestal for us "mere mortals" to look up at them?

Wasn't you "reporting" at fashion week Julius? A place known to be jam packed full of "celebrities" You don't need to care about slebs but I'd have thought you'd at least have to be able put a name to a face in your line of work. :mysmilie_17:

I too am not swayed to part with money just because a celebrity is endorsing a product. :mysmilie_3:
