One of my good friends just began donating. I love him to pieces and can see how he could look very good on paper. But oh lord, I don't think I'd want his DNA.
It just makes me very suspicious of what people are paying for or getting the impression of when they read those stats.
@sleepeatread: Well, if you have a son with your own husband, your son may very well look a lot like your husband, and I hope you'd be attracted to him. And hopefully you'd never be attracted to your own son.
Not that I'm their target market anyway, but I'd be inclined not to trust this. In my experience, look-a-like-ism (for want of a better word!) is so incredibly hit and miss. A colleague and I once spent a bored work afternoon laughing our arses off at the so-called look-a-likes on the website of an agency because they looked, to a person, absolutely nothing like the celebrities they were supposed to be representing. And I speak as someone who has variously been told she looks like Meg White, Myra Hindley, Jarvis Cocker, a Manson Family girl, Monica Seles and most recently, Lily Allen.
@Maritsa: Well, that mug shot of her is so iconic, and there's a pic of me aged 19 with a similar hairstyle (although mine was dark) and a similar impassive expression on my face, and weirdly, even thought it's one of my favourite photos of myself ever, I can sort of see where folks are coming from when they say I look like her in it. (I've also been told by strangers that I resemble her in the flesh, but I prefer not to dwell on that....)
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Jean Seberg. I've been told many times that I look like her. Actually, she's the one celeb who I do resemble to a high degree- I'm just not so thin, blonde, and be-dimpled ;)
I recently saw a pic of Christi Turlington's little girl on Jezebel. That kid looks exactly like my son! Its uncanny! But, my baby-daddy and I look nothing at all like Turlington.
Maybe I should start a sperm/egg bank where I post pictures of people kids to boost sales?
My kid apparently looks like Mini Turlington and Baby Anikin Skywalker. I smell big bucks!!
I can't believe one piece of "evidence" people have marshalled in support of the Nic theory is that she had a miscarriage. Guess what? Miscarriages happen ALL THE DAMN TIME. I had a miscarriage and have a healthy baby now. One of my friends had two miscarriages and has two kids, another had one and has three kids, etc. Unless miscarriages are recurrent they usually have NOTHING to do with future fertility. Jesus.
Well, I don't know about Kidman, but a friend of mine who's a doctor swears that some of the older actresses (I mean over 40 or even 45) probably faked it with surrogates. She says they just don't have the face,swollen ankles, none of the body changes of a real pregnancy. (And many of that age probably had egg donors, unless they were lucky enough to freeze their own a while back.) As for the baby bumps that amount to nothing, they could be the result of fertility treatments. That'll blow up your gut like 3 cases of PMS rolled into one.
Oh for God's sake, this rumour is ridiculous. Yes, what a clever ruse! Antonia Kidman was hiding out in Australia, a very faraway country that is completely inaccessible to the rest of the world and does not have things like cameras or paparazzi or newspapers and magazines covering celebrities. Yes, Antonia Kidman could secretly be pregnant over there without anyone noticing!
That it. I say should be illegal to talk about pregnant women. You've gone too far, entertainment media, with your infuriating phrases, your stupid insinuations, and your abusive narrative about what pregnancy should be like. You're cut off. Let's get this as a constitutional ammendment: "The right to freedom of the press shall not be abridged, unless it in any way refers to 'baby bumps' or other pregnancy related matters of celebrities."
Basically, I'm just so sick of women's bodies being public property, and that fact that we don't even get a break around pregnancy really, really skeeves me out.
Well, that Vivienne Marcheline needs to get back to her pre-birth weight, let me tell you. She was so much more attractive on the ultrasound. She's really let herself go since emerging from Angelina Jolie's womb.
It would makes sense that she wouldn't show until later in her pregnancy...don't taller women tend to carry the baby up higher, and their stomachs don't protrude as much? My mom is tall and I don't remember her getting very big when she was pregnant with my brother.
