Accidentally On Purpose star Ashley Jensen has said she has a “real respect” for women after giving birth to her son.

Jensen, 40, recently gave birth to her first child, son Francis “Frankie” Jonathan, and she was only able to take a small amount of maternity leave because of the tight schedule for new show Accidentally On Purpose.

She said to UK newspaper The Independent: “I had a week off before he was born, three weeks off after he was born, and then I went back to work last week. But the studio is just 15 minutes away. I’ve got a dressing room so I can take my little boy in with me.”

Frankie is the first child for Jensen and her British actor hubby Terence Beesley and asked how she is finding motherhood, she said: “To be honest, I’m just stumbling from day to day at the moment. It’s all about routine, and it’s very all-consuming.”

She added: “One thing it has given me is a real respect for womankind. Giving birth is amazing, and such a great leveller.”

Yet another singer and actress has declared her distaste when it comes to the ravenous fad that is the Twilight series. Selena Gomez recently admitted that she’s not a big fan of the popular show for teenagers: “I don’t watch them. Sorry, I feel bad … even though I am a teenager.” You’d think she regrets it, given her words… but Selena Gomez probably just has some rough spots with regards to her former boyfriend, Taylor Lautner and the fact that he’s got a leading part in the movie. You don’t hear Taylor Swift complaining about not liking the movie.

In a recent interview, Miley Cyrus was adamant in saying that she is not a ‘Twilight’ fan nor will she ever be. The singer/actress told a Cleveland radio station “I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires. … I don’t like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t like it. I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it.” Maybe she’s just jealous that she has less fans than the cast considering they were virtual unknowns before the movie became a hit.
