I saw the now famous pic of her youngest tenderly touching her belly and I was convinced. Yeap! That was absolute, 100% irrefutable evidence that she's indeed pregnant. No doubt about it. Not in the least. <Sarcasm using The National Enquirer logic>  ::)

Makes perfect sense to me ::)

now where did I put that enquirer

Quoting:
This is no longer news to me since Madonna is married to Guy Ritchie the director, as opposed to her previous out-of-wedlock childbirths. I heard Lourdes, her daughter is a brat.

Now it's not good to be so judgmental, J.C. It's also not nice to spread rumors, false or not, especially negative ones about a child.

What I want to know is...why does it matter?  Why is it news that a celeb is pregnant or that their child misbehaves.  It just drives me crazy....Tabloids never went crazy when I was pregnant (and out of wedlock at that :o)

Unfortunately, we live in a culture that puts these people on a pedistal. IMO, acting (or singing or writing) is just a job like any other, and it's certainly not as important as some jobs, like doctor, nurse or educator.  But the general population seems to have a need to know every little thing there is to know about celebrities and those of us who don't give a rat's ass have to sit back and endure.  ::)

Oops. Sorry if anyone took my post to heart. I wasn't making reference to this particular thread nor to any one particular person. I was merely speaking about the population at large, and answering dagwood's comment.

And to clarify, there is nothing wrong with being a fan of an actor or singer or whatever. The problem I have is when people allow their lives to revolve around celebrity. They have to know what color toilet paper is in Leonardo DeCaprio's bathroom, who Tom Cruise is sleeping with, is so-and-so really gay? I don't think we have anyone like that here. I am a KISS fan, as many here know. As such, I probably know more about the band than any of the regulars. Alicia is a fan of Marilyn Monroe; 80s Trivia of Madonna, so they would know more about those stars than any of the rest of us do. But I doubt seriously that either of them has an obsession.

Again, no knock on you for starting this thread, Hairspray. My apologies if that's the way it sounded.

Friends?

True, and I don't fault the celebs for all the pub they get. If there wasn't a mass market for all that stuff, then we wouldn't hear a peep about them. And like I have told a friend of mine, there isn't enough money to make me trade places with a celebrity. I value my privacy too much.

Just because I get speachy doesn't mean I got offended. I'm not offended now either.

Better to have clarified and made sure!  ;)
