Over the moon? I'm over it.

Have you noticed that whenever a celebrity is pregnant, she or her publicist inevitably says that she is 'over the moon'? Isn't there a better phrase? And what if the celebrity in question actually isn't thrilled to be pregnant? Wouldn't it be nice if famous women could say what they really think without fear of being labelled a 'bad' mother?

Here is the evidence:

Halle Berry:
This is her first kiddiewink, and she and model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry seem to be over the moon.

Jennifer Lopez:
"Becoming a mother is Jennifer's dream," a friend told In Touch. “She’s over the moon,” the friend added.

"Me and my lovely other half, Ben, are completely over the moon and feel incredibly blessed."

Jodie Marsh:
“I’m just desperate. If I’m pregnant now by accident I would keep it and be over the moon.”
