Is Pregnancy Contagious?

December 14th 2007 00:37
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
The newest Mum-To-Be on the block
What the hell is in the water in Hollywood? Suddenly a baby bump is the latest must-have accessory.

First it was Nicole Richie (due very soon). Christina Aguilera and J-Lo denied it for months, but they were either pregnant or had accidentally swallowed a watermelon. Turned out they hadn't swallowed watermelons!


Now, Jessica Alba is in the family way.

There were no ridiculous denials, no hiding an obvious baby bump under ridiculously large tents masquerading as dresses. Instead, Jessica Alba chose to simply confirm to the media that she is pregnant to her boyfriend of 3 years, Cash Warren.

The couple are expecting their first child in May/June 08, their rep confirmed to People.

In more baby news, it's rumoured that Victoria Beckham, or I guess we should call her Posh Spice now that she's on tour, is also pregnant with her 4th child. Apparently during the song Wannabe at their LA show, Gerry Halliwell supposedly said "she's pregnant."

Babies, babies everywhere!

I've thought the same thing, Kylie, what is going on?!

And it's the same in my life, the friends that were the biggest drinkers, etc have just done it...and they were the ones always telling me to drink more etc etc and now they're mothers and I'm still trying!!

Ah well, the irony of life. At least I can have a bit of a moan on Orble

It seems to go in cycles in celebrity land - the preggers trend must come and go, and right now it's due!

It's a fashion accessory.

PIty the celeb's having to fight over who will get the most $ for their baby's photos in the tabloid trash though.

Can't wait for Lindsay or Paris to have one surgically attached - just so they don't feel too left out.

Ah babies. Gotta love 'em.

Though Nicole Richie having a baby is troubling right up there with Britney Spears. Jessica Alba seems to be relatively scandal free right?

Tracy,

Moan away honey. That's what we're here for.

Love & stuff

Oh, I hope so, I've been thinking about having another baby, a surprise package for Christmas perhaps.

Tracy - I hear you! My friends are hitting that 'kids' phase too. Difference is I know I'm not ready for kids.....scary!!

Michaelie - it does seem cyclical

MNG - babies are fast becoming fashion accessories i Hollywood. Scarily Paris Hilton has said that seeing Nicole pregnant is making her clucky. Very scary!

Lara - it does seem that way huh?

Mrs M - I find the idea of Nicole raising a child a very frightening prospect!!!

Katyzz - a special delivery for xmas huh?

These folks are just impregnating themselves to ireduce the skyrocketing nanny unemployment rate. We all know that they aren't going to raise their tots themselves.

Hi Kylie

I know what you mean. It took me/us a while to get there (ie ready to start) and my friends seemed to get there very quickly...now my patience is being tested...and tested...ah well

Great post as always,

Tracy

Wow so it's for real!

So who's next? Cameron Diaz? Drew Barrymore? Who else isn't pregnant?!

Actually I believe you will find that it is hereditory

I agree with Mr Nice Guy and think it's a disgusting trend. I don't know which is worse--celebs who give birth to their own little fashion accessories, or those who buy kids from poor, third-world women. I was excoriated once in an online forum for refusing to coo over Angelina Jolie's penchant for purchasing small children as if they were handbags. 'Look at Mia Farrow,' I said. The other participants said that I was obviously a Very Unhappy Woman who can't stand people who are happy. I don't think they knew who Mia Farrow is. (Woody Allen, Soon-yi Previn, remember?)

Hi Kylie

hhhhmmm they must have hit a boredom patch in Hollywood, too much hype over the party scene so little else left to do but....

Don`t let word get out to my mother I`d get a one way ticket with a return for two posted 9 months later.

I`m really excited by the fact that Hollywood is reproducing....

It's almost like having a baby grants the actress with a measure of respectability...


Comment by Tracy

December 16th 2007 22:27
Yeah, I agree, Cib. Whereas I think the respectability is in looking after the baby well.....

The whole thing is freaking me out because it makes me feel old!

I am the same age as Christina, Nicole, Jessica and Britney, and here they are popping out babies while I feel NO urge to reproduce because I still see myself as really young.

So then I ask myself, "Is there something wrong with me or with them?" Am I a real adult in denial? Or is it just that I'm not famous and bored?

Note to any celebrities in their mid-20s reading this: Please consider your peers before getting pregnant because it's not nice to make people feel old. Thanks.

Yikes! Today I found out that Lilly Allen is pregnant too!!

It definitely does seem to be contagious. It's all getting scary now...

Oh my god! And I just went to check some gossip on the internet two minutes ago and I found out that Britney's 16-YEAR-OLD sister, Jamie Lynn, is pregnant too!!! She has even confirmed it to "OK" magazine.

*faints*
