Celebrity Vent

In an interview recently, Kim Kardashian stated:

"having six kids is amazing; it’s exactly what I want," adding, "It’s what I grew up with, so I can’t imagine anything less."

Ugh. Now, I'm not picking on Kim alone, but since she's the latest to do so, she gets to be the victim of my ire.

First of all, what self respecting adult talks like that? "Six kids...it's exactly what I want". I've also heard other celebs say "oh, I want two girls and two boys", etc..." What the hell? Yeah, I would say shit like that too - when I was FIVE! Maybe it's the bitter infertile in me that thinks "yeah, good luck with that" every time I read a quote like this, but argh! It just frustrates me so much.

Also, it has to be said...what is with society's obsession with celebrity babies? And why is it that as soon as someone famous is dating someone, do they need to be asked "do you want to have children?" - Is that anyone's business, really? And, on top of that, they are expected to give an answer about adoption as well. Kimmy here is opposed to adoption. That's her prerogative, but it's none of my business. It's just distasteful to me, that's all.

....although, I know I'll be slapping down my $3.50 as soon as the Brangelina twins issue of People comes out. I hate myself.

20 week ultrasound on Friday! I can't wait!

Oh, and Kim, stop tainting Reggie please. You're going to ruin the Saints season. Thanks.

20 week u/s coming up?! Heck yeah!

Maybe I am dense and have missed it, but are you finding out what you're having? Or did you yet?

Am nosy. You can't hate me, though, because I will be out buying the Brangelina magazine too.

OK, nevermind. I saw that you aren't finding out...
I need to stop reading my Google reader posts backwards...

What gets me is the amount of money they get paid to have pictures of their babies in the magazine. Yes I am sick of the celebrity bump and baby watch.

Too funny - and you hit the nail on the head! I'm so excited about your ultrasound Friday - it's so nice to have a great long look at the little one is such detail and see every little part. Hope you're feeling good, and the point about Reggie and her tainting the Saints season made me laugh! ((hugs))

OMG...you're too funny. As much as I bitch and complain about how we hold celebrities (and their stupid comments) in high regard (for whatever reason), I still watch Inside Edition! WTF???

Yes. I can't wait to see the Brangelina twins, but I do get annoyed with celebrities and the media's questions about their procreation. I'm still a bit annoyed at the Jerry O'Connell comment about they "were having fun trying"???? Considering they are early in a pregnancy and know they are having twins, doctors must've been involved. That's not fun!!!
