In the past year or so it seemed every 35+ year-old actress, singer, and celebrity was pregnant. They’ve all popped, for the most part, with the exception of the lying Jennifer Lopez. Now it seems all the 20-somethings are knocked up.
Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, Fantasia (some American Idol winner and/or finalist and who claims this rumor isn’t true), Lily Allen, and now Britney Spears’ younger sister, who is only 16. All of whom are no older than, like 25.
Also, can someone please explain to me why the hell a 16-year-old celebrity, a member of a famous – albeit effed up – family, an actress who stars in a Nickelodeon program, could get knocked up in the year 2007? I mean, I understand the mechanics of it, I just don’t understand how she could get herself into this mess. I guess her mom was planning on writing a parenting guide for a Christian publisher and that book has been put on hold – indefinitely. No shit.
I am also perplexed by the fact that anyone in this day and age can “accidently” get pregnant. Come on. Even if you are broke as broke can be, there is always Planned Parenthood willing to give out practically free birth control pills and actually free condoms. I am always amazed at the number of times I hear a baby was “unplanned.” I managed for something like 12 years not to get pregnant.
Although the pregnancy of the younger Spears is completely trivial to me, I find it especially ridiculous that someone who makes their living in the public eye, on a squeaky clean TV show who knows their livelyhood depends on that image (and who has a sister who is a public train wreck) could possibly get knocked up by accident. It’s no accident. It’s freaking laziness!
