The multiplicity of allegations against the entertainment reporters about reports regarding pregnancies led Eran Suissa to wonder why only one party should abide by the agreement • The answer?
Lots of money • Opinion
Do not talk about stomach

While we were all in Israel still rolling in bed, Gal Gadot took the stage of the "Golden Globe" ceremony.
While she came to the glittering event solely to award a prize, she stole all the focus because of a loose dress that led (naturally) to a rumor mill about a third pregnancy.
Twitter was filled with tweets on the subject, the tabloids reported on the Israeli-international star's golden globe in the same importance as they reported on the ceremony itself and we in Israel were quick to rejoice in the joy of the Gadot-Versano family, because if you can not fly to Hollywood you can enjoy some stardust .
Legitimate, no?
After all, if the whole world deals with the issue of Gal Gadot's pregnancy, we can conclude that we, the Israelis, are also allowed to talk about our star in Hollywood.
So logical, that it's weird to ask that at all.
But then the goddess of beautification and righteousness of the entertainment industry, the one who has been working overtime lately, spreads her wings over the gossip columns, re-flooding the "Get Out of My Womb" campaign, a campaign whose whole purpose is to let celebrities get pregnant.
Meaning: not to ask about pregnancies, not to report but with approval, and by and large - wait patiently until the pregnant woman uploads a photo to Instagram herself and joins us all to her "good time" celebration, when it suits her.

Before you attack me, I will make it clear: I have never tried to get pregnant, I do not know the difficulties involved, the stress, the sensitivity and the hormones, I probably will never understand and I will never argue about these.
I have witnessed some not so simple processes on the subject and I am not jealous of anyone.
I will also never insist on announcing a pregnancy or birth with a celebrity who would not want it.
But when it comes to the entertainment industry - I definitely understand.
Here are some behind-the-scenes issues regarding celebrity pregnancies that you too need to know in order to get to the bottom of my opinion.
First, from the moment of the announcement until the birth, a kind of semi-annual campaign takes place that begins in the third month and ends with the victory picture outside the hospital.
Later, in addition to the exciting interviews and photos (without cynicism), there are also invitations to cover the maternity clothes campaign in the area of the fifth-Friday month, and then another wave of interviews.
The guests?
All those rude journalists who a minute ago "went into their womb."
On the set, the publicists promise, "they will talk about everything."
Why is it okay now?
Because now she's getting a lot of money for it and we're here to help them make it.
Later, the "son or daughter?" Stage will also arrive.
It will be sold to us as an item in exchange for credit to one commercial company or another, and do not be surprised to find in the newspapers a PR picture that will be presented as "paparazzi", of the advanced pregnancy in one of the baby product chains, a picture for which celebs will receive several thousand shekels.

Finally, as mentioned, will also come the traditional image of the midwife outside the hospital, with the branded stroller she received for free and thus saved several thousand shekels for the credit to the company, a credit that we prying journalists need, sorry - must provide.
What can I tell you?
It's worth leaving us out of the womb.
Needless to say, the public relations process outlined above does not apply to everyone, and of course there are those who prefer to keep this exciting journey within the walls of the home and family.
Also, it is the exclusive right of every woman, famous or not, to decide if and when she wants to share about her pregnancy, and there is no arguing about that.
But, and this is a significant "but", if we are part of this game, no cart will fall apart if we are asked in interviews whether the star is pregnant, or planning one.
No brand will pull its budget if we dare to wonder about the fruit of the celebrity's womb.
Only one thing can happen if we do not abide by the unanimous rules of public relations on all of these, and that is female mercy on them.
You might also be surprised to know that more than once the water will not go down if rumors are made about the pregnancy of our representative in Hollywood, before it has been officially approved by her.
I want to believe that our Wonder Woman will be able to stand it.
Let's sum up and say, as long as the PR wheels engineer pregnant celebs' pregnancies to squeeze every possible drop of publicity and maximize the economic potential of the newborn, we will continue to do our job and be asked, with the professional forehead of an experienced publicist, about pregnancies and births. Answer and even feel free to move the conversation to the next topic.

We'll thank you on the way if you also try to hold back and not do a round of likes on "The cheeky interviewer who made me come home crying", because come on, it's the best 2019, and in an age where eggs are frozen in history it's pathetic at all.
Want something different?
No problem, really.
Just let's agree that it can not be one-way.
If you will only use us when it is convenient and profitable, we will choose not to be there.
deal?
