Motherhood in Hollywood
Julia Roberts is pregnant with twins. Funny that they announced this today-the day after I had the idea to write about "Motherhood in Hollywood." I think this all started in 1996 when Madonna announced she was pregnant. Once her daughter Lourdes was born, and then Rocco in 2001, celebrity women took that as a license to have children. Look at the results: Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Marcia Gay Harden, Holly Marie Combs, Brooke Shields, Reese Witherspoon, Courteney Cox Arquette, Catherine Zeta Jones, Denise Richards, Kate Hudson, Debra Messing, Kate Moss, Calista Flockhart...and now Julia Robrets. Shocker. She has to keep up. Who's next? Sandra Bullock, I bet. Or Jennifer Aniston just so everyone will shut up about her having a baby already.
Who's complaining? Thanks to them, maternity clothes are finally wearable. The Gap Maternity line-a blessing from above.
My unprofessional psychoanalyis of this craze: All these famous women don't know who loves them for who they are, and not for their celebrity, their money or their bodies. If they have kids, they are loved unconditionally from someone. Their kids love them whether they're famous or not. I guess all those pets didn't cut it.
