I admit it, I love me some People Magazine, Us Weekly and Celebitchy. You know, celebrities are just like us! They grocery shop (with unlimited budgets), they pick up dog poop (with scented bags no doubt) and get pregnant …. or DO they?
With the new What to Expect movie coming out (S. and I are going to see it next weekend), there is a lot of buzz about motherhood and the different routes to get there. I love hearing celebrities come forward and share their stories about how they grew their family. I am not one to point fingers and be all judgey (well, I am all judgey, but I never point fingers), but some celebrities might not be telling the truth and I find that annoying. One such famous lady had twins. At 40. After ‘years of trying’ and only after she heard the (groundbreaking) advice to ‘relax’. Now, yeah, it could have happened that way, but I find it so hard to believe. Anywayyyyyy …..
Here are some of my favorite celebs who grew their family by taking the long road:
- Brooke Shields
- Sarah Jessica Parker
- Dixie Chick’s Martie Maguire and Emily Robison
- Hugh Jackman
- Courtney Cox (who broke my heart when she said, ‘I don’t have a hard time getting pregnant, I have a hard time keeping them’)
- Mariah Carey
- Jane Seymour
- Sherri Shepard
So celebs … they are just like me.
