Christina Aguilera And Nicole Richie Are Mad That Their Babies Aren't Worth As Much As Other Babies - Page 2
But seriously. I reiterate my statement that I will personally donate $100 to the charity of choice (even something as frivolous as the "Save The Manolos Foundation") of any celebrity who comes outside, asks the assembled press if they'd like a shot of the baby, and then come outside and stand for a few minutes with said baby (probably best behind a fence, definitely best with a bodyguard or two) so that some photos can be taken. Or if they will use the digital camera to snap some candid photos of Junior, run off some copies on the computer, and pass them out to the pap horde assembled outside. No muss, no fuss, no fanfare, no zillion-dollar payouts, and most importantly...no pimping of the child to mass media.
What are these people going to do with that money, anyway? Is Christina planning on opening an inner-city mother and child wellness center? Will Nicole donate her money (all of it) to the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation? Will any other pregnant starlet donate all their money to any charitable organization...without press and fanfare, without even letting anyone know that they got paid to begin with?
After all, a newborn is a newborn is a newborn. Some have more hair than others, some have lighter skin and some have darker skin, some are chubbier and some are leaner, but basically...they all look the same. Little wrinkly things with floppy necks that drool and poop and sleep. Look at that photo of Christina and baby Max. Sure, Max is a cutie, but the photo is all about Christina, with her perfectly coiffed hair, Photoshopped skin, and come-hither gaze. If it wasn't, then she would look like the rest of us when we posed with our newborns for pics...with baggy, bloodshot eyes, spotty skin, no makeup, hair that hasn't been washed since before we went into labor, an old comfy bathrobe tossed on over a nursing gown with two big wet spots on the front, and a big goofy smile on our face because we have the most precious thing in the world in our hands.
Certain starlets would do well to remember that you can't put a price on a baby.
