Come On People, Think Things Through

Okay, what's going on with celebrities and babies right now? Do people not remember how to use contraception? Why are they having kids on a whim? Why so fast? Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise... one minute they just started dating, the next she's having a baby. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt... one minute they just started dating, the next she's having a baby. Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger... one minute they just started dating, the next she's having a baby. No sooner do these people meet each other than the women get pregnant.

I wouldn't put it past Cruise/Holmes and Pitt/Jolie to have planned the pregnancies, or if not planned them then at least not tried to prevent them and let the chips fall where they may. They all seem to have over-romanticized ideas of what having children and family means.


I'm surprised, though, by Ledger/Williams, so I think that was just a plain old "accident."

Having kids with people you're dating: not cool. I guess to some (all?) of their defenses, there are marriage plans in the works, but it's still not cool to start having babies a few months into a relationship.
