Obviously I don''t know if it was planned or not, but what is with celebs constantly getting pregnant before they are married? Hello BIRTH CONTROL???? Do they think they are immune from it or are they just stupid?

Ugh what is with the baby craze in Hollywood?
I think a lot of them just aren't worried about it. The stigma against unwed mothers has all but disappeared out here... so what's the "worst" possible outcome to not taking birth control? Spending a percentage of their inflated incomes on childcare for a baby.Date: 4/16/2008 11:20:47 PM

It's brought on by the industry catering more to actors with children, which has been a change in recent years after unions began requiring child care, etc., to be provided on-set. That's a very good thing in most ways, and instead of 'retiring' to have children like they used to, actors just keep on working while they have their families. It's reduced "turnover" in the industry, which is a good thing for those who are established (and not so great for those trying to break in).Date: 4/16/2008 11:01:50 PM

I''m not a fan of the Simpson family by ANY means., but what does a kidney infection have to do with anything?Date: 4/17/2008 2:06:36 PM

I had the same reaction (ugh!). These celebs are pretty stupid and the worst role models. I think they really just enjoy the attention and this gives them some. They look and see their ''peers'' doing it and want to also be on the cover of In Touch. Sad..just look at Britney. She wanted babies at 22....look at where that got her. She was SOOO sure she just wanted to be a mother. I''m not saying anything about her age, just the lack of maturity and poor decision process..that leads exactly where we expect it to.
As for the Simpsons..aren''t they hypocritical?? Their dad''s a preacher who wanted them to wait till marriage! Now one''s divorced, dating all kinds of guys and coming down with kidney infections. The other is 23, preggers and unwed. Nice! Any guesses one how long before Miley follows suit (sorry, my cynicism is really rearing it''s ugly head!)

Anyway, now that the Julia Robertses and Angelina Jolies of the world can pop out a kid and still make a couple movies in the same year, actors aren''t having to choose between their families for their careers the way they used to. Actors aren''t having more kids, they''re doing it at the same rate that celebrities always have (and the general population for that matter--does it REALLY seem like more people are having babies in Hollywood than in the rest of the country??), they''re just remaining in the spotlight while doing so (instead of moving to Idaho to raise their children, disappearing from public view, a la Demi Moore).
That''s my theory, anyway. (Among others involving the government/media''s ''family'' push, putting more attention on the celebs who DO have kids and therefore we get the impression that more of them are doing it.)
ETA: Part of it, too, is that publicists are making no secret of their clients'' pregnancies. Twenty years ago these Ashlees and Jamie Lynns would have ''decided to refocus on their studies and take a break from performing.'' The public would be none the wiser and they''d fade out of view. I think that publicists realize that they can''t get away with that anymore, so they''re embracing it, instead.

That''s not always the case-- not even remotely. When I was six years old, I had a kidney infection so severe that I was hospitalized. They can be caused by a number of things, many of which have nothing to do with sex.Date: 4/18/2008 12:08:37 PM

You get kidney infections from to much sex...
That''s not always the case-- not even remotely. When I was six years old, I had a kidney infection so severe that I was hospitalized. They can be caused by a number of things, many of which have nothing to do with sex.
Besides, even if that were the cause, so what? She has a boyfriend, does she not? Is it the sex you take issue with or the ''too much sex''? Sorry, but the judgey tone of your post rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm aware that it's one cause -- one cause of many, which is why I thought it was a strange connection to draw. It just stuck me as an odd thing to bring up. Her kidney reflection really has nothing to do with anything, who knows what the cause was and who cares really.Date: 4/18/2008 4:17:36 PM

absolut-you are taking this way too personally. The point is there is a link and my other point is that the simpsons are a bit hypocritical. IT's well known their dad was a preacher who encouraged his daughters to wait till marriage to have sex. My point was it didn't exactly turn out so well. You asked about the connection b/ween kidney infection and my comment and I tried to explain. This thread in general is meant to be light.
anyway, PP is right that it is ONE cause of kidney infection. If freq sex was the cause of my recent one, I'd be happy. Sadly it's just another side effect of pregnancy.
WOW WOW WOW!!!! All i could ever find was a pic of her diamond eternity band 'promise ring', this thing is a boulder!!!! I love halos and this one is tasty! Is that a square radiant or a cushion? can't tell......Date: 4/18/2008 8:39:18 AM

Who cares that she's pregnant?? Her engagement ring is purdy!! Ashlee's Engagement Ring
Well, you needn't look far--moonwater posted a link to it in this very thread over 10 hours ago. (scroll up a bit)Date: 4/18/2008 7:23:24 PM

I did look online to see if I could find a pic of Ashlee's ring but no luck so far. I've seen pictures of her wearing it, but you can't get a good look at the ring itself. Dammit!
Over in the updated celebrity rings thread, speculation is pointing toward asscher, actually. You can see steps in there, imo!Date: 4/18/2008 7:50:40 PM
