How trendy - Having a baby!


My question to the media - Why is it so interesting to write about celebrities having babies? Who cares if a new child is born because the parents are famous, who cares if Brad and Angelina just adopted another vietnam child. I feel bad for these kids they have already gotten so much publicity they may become another Paris Hilton - Famous for doing nothing. Why write about it? Why are they trying to make having babies the new trend? Do we really want to be calling ourselves soon-to-be mommy's during our teenage years? Not so much. This trend has got to stop throughout the media, before it becomes the "popular" thing to do, it really isn't cool at all.

I kind of disagree with you, I think that its a great fad to adopt kids who need it most. there are alot of people in the world as it is, and I really do think its a good idea to adopt kids as opposed to just having more.

oooh, great post - hopefully we can have a full blown discussion if a few more people weigh in! I love a good debate.

PS. I agree with both of you. It's so hard to know if celebrities you dont actually know are good parents or not. If they are good, then make compassion trendy. But if they are bad, and just hiring people to take care of them, then boo hiss!

I really disagree with you, it's nothing new for people to adopt kids it's just more public now, and it's great how people are helping lessfortunate kids and giving them a better home and a better life. the media is not saying that you should have a kid when your 16,Angelina and Brad are in there 30's, it really is a cool thing to do how is it "not cool" to help starving kids??
