@BlondeGoddess: But she's saying it in a kinda gross way. I think that's why. I think it's gross to smell a wet diaper like a "baked good", whether or love your children or not. It's pee, not perfume! :) #sarahjessicaparker
@kookla: Well she's commenting on changing her current childrens' diapers so... yeah, I do. Not all of them, but at least some of them. #sarahjessicaparker
Also, SMG? Listen. There are lots of "selfless" things a person can do. One can volunteer their time to helping others, advocating for a worthy cause, donating money to charity, or choosing to live in a socially-aware way. Having a child can also be one of them. Seriously, I'm glad you're happy, I wish you lots of happiness and love and all that good stuff, but having a baby =/= selfless. Having a baby = having a baby. Lots of people have kids and don't become selfless.
I shouldn't even post this comment - it feels really mean and self-centered, but it just pisses me off when people have kids, and then tell me how awesome they are for it. People donate time, love and goodness in all sorts of ways. You don't have to be a parent to be selfless, and you don't have to be selfless to be a parent. #sarahjessicaparker
@boxspelunker: I believe you do have to be selfless, in some ways, to have a kid and raise it. But on the other hand, in some ways, you have to be selfish. So yah, in this overpopulated world of ours, I am not going to praise the choice to have children.
I love SMG but that comment bothered me. Even just the idea of her saying that people aren't capable of being good parents in their 20's. You might have not have been but others are capable of that - we all grow at different rates. #sarahjessicaparker
@boxspelunker: Yes! And some people make very good, selfless parents even when they're in their twenties! If you're the kind of person who steps up to the plate you'll probably do it just as well in your twenties as in your thirties or beyond.
Good for her, she's happy with the choices she made. That's really wonderful. But I wish she didn't have to imply that people making different choices aren't as perfect as her. #sarahjessicaparker
@Elaken: I agree with your second point, I had a kid in my 20's and one in my 30's and yes, people do grow at different rates. People who want kids should have them when they're ready. I know many people in their late 30's, early 40's and they will never be ready and I know some parents in their 20's who are doing just fine. #sarahjessicaparker
@Elaken: I can't bear it when people who have been parents for all of, ooh, five minutes, start sharing their 'wisdom' with the world. I'm glad they're happy but, seriously, they know fuck-all.
As for the age thing... I've been a young mother and an older mother - had my first kid in my early 20s and my last kid in my late 30s. There are pros and cons to both, and a good parent works with what they've got. Yeah, I was more patient as an older mother but I had a lot more energy as a younger mother. I'm more stable now, I was more adventurous then. Different, not better. #sarahjessicaparker
@boxspelunker: and if you grew the thing in your own stomach using your own dna and body materials, it isn't really selfless anyway, as it's just a continuation of your own damn self. #sarahjessicaparker
@Elaken: I think to be a good parent, a certain amount of selflessness and selfishness is needed (in the appropriate amounts and times, of course!). But the act of being a parent alone is not selflessness nor does it necessarily create selflessness. That's really what I take issue with. I know lots of kindof crappy parents, who talk big talk about how magical, wonderful and selfless being a parent is, when they are unwilling to make very many sacrifices for their child. Maybe that's why it burns my butt so much? :)
@AnotherJenn: This is also true! Some 2o-somethings are great parents. I just didn't like how condescending it sounded, I guess.
@metalkate: In a way, having a baby is completely unmiraculous - it happens every day, around the world, it is needed for the continuation of the species, etc., etc. I know when it happens on a micro level, it's totally different, but I hate it when parents act like they are the only ones ever who have experienced such a thing. It's like, on a macro level, this is nothing. Don't start lecturing people just yet. :) #sarahjessicaparker
Michael Lohan is a huge douche, but I kind of love the idea of God looking down on Hollywood and deciding who will be smote with a role in 'Labor Pains' and who will be spared. #sarahjessicaparker
@NellMood: And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is given this day in the city of Los Angeles a Stinker, which is Labor Pains, the movie.

You know, I don't pretend to know or understand the personal lives of celebrities based on tabloid and media reports. And yet, all of my assumptions about Nicolas Cage were spot freaking on. Something about jets and dinosaurs and jewelry just fits. And I haven't even seen National Treasure. #nicolekidman
Maybe the Oscars will be entertaining this time around?
Alec Baldwin is hilarious. He was the best thing about "The Departed" along with Mark Walhberg. (I kinda forgot Leo was in it)
His new movie with Meryl Streep and Steve Martin looks very funny.
I'm still pissed about the change to nominate 10 pictures for Best Picture. I don't think the TV audience will be bigger just because the Hangover or whatever is nominated. #nicolekidman
@belle TL: I especially like it when I've actually gotten on the train, only to find that the train can't climb the track's minor uphill grade, or that the air conditioning has gone out in the middle of July, or that the train has "unexpectedly stalled." Ah, America's passenger rail systems, bringing out the worst in people for more than three decades. #nicolekidman
"I can't recall the last time I saw him — or Martin, for that matter — in a movie."
Dodai, consider yourself lucky to not be faced with watching Steve Martin in "The Pink Panther" 1 AND 2 and "Cheaper by the Dozen" 1 AND 2, more than once at the request of you kids.
He was in Baby Mama, though. I didn't think he was that funny but I liked the movie overall. #nicolekidman
@Little Green Frog (Wise Latina): !!Steve Martin is absolutely amazing and incredibly funny. Please, no one judge him by those films. Have you ever seen him play the banjo and sing? Or his material from when he was young?
I love him, he is one of my all-time favorite comedians. The Jerk, anyone? He also wrote a really great book on his early struggles to make it in comedy... #nicolekidman
@Eleanor Ramilly: Few people (that I know) would disagree with you about Steve Martin's early career.
But, even crazed fans of his early work (like myself) have to admit that his recent choices have been...sub-par.
Personally, I'll always adore the guy. And I think he and Alec Baldwin could make a good Awards Host team. Maybe Tina Fey can throw in some jokes - it worked on 3o Rock! #nicolekidman
@fluxus flucker: There you go. His early stand up was great. "Roxanne" is still funny.I love the essays in "Pure Drivel".
But this last few years... not so much. #nicolekidman
@fluxus flucker: Yeah, but c'mon. ... He's gotten older, he doesn't have the role options he used to, and people do love those Cheaper by the Dozen movies and I think The Pink Panther did well. And he was funny in The Pink Panther, I mean, about as funny as you can be in a movie like that? I liked Shop Girl, that was only three years ago.
And he is touring with his banjo now, so.. I think he's doing pretty well. #nicolekidman
@Little Green Frog (Wise Latina): I think he was in Baby Mama because, like all right-thinking Americans, Steve Martin is in love with Tina Fey.
I'm happy because (a) I think Steve Martin is a good Oscar host and (b) I expect Tina to get a few good moments during the ceremony due to cronyism. #nicolekidman
@Little Green Frog (Wise Latina): Wow, I just saw Steve Martin in September for and actors studio-style "Evening with.." and he specifically said he wasn't interested in hosting the Oscars again because he'd been there/done that. I wonder if working with Alec was the lure? #nicolekidman
@Eleanor Ramilly: One of my favorite things to watch when I'm down is The Muppet Show episode where Steve Martin hosts. Ah, Muppets and banjo playing Steve Martin!
I think Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have potential to be great hosts. #nicolekidman
I would very much like to meet David Mamet. Not only does he write fantastic theater and film, but I'm curious to see if he repeats what he says several times like so many of his characters do. #nicolekidman
Actually, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will be in a movie together, which will have come out by the time the Oscars happen, so the pairing isn't so random:
@alexburrito: When I edit my post, the repost has a hashtag I haven't added. Oddly, in this case, it came up with the very strange N. Kidman hash tag. Anyone have an explanation on how that happens?? Weird. #nicolekidman
@alexburrito: I like that Nicole Kidman is now inexplicably and irrevocably linked to peeing in a cup in front of children. Many thanks to the wonders of the internet. #nicolekidman
