Everywhere we look, and in every magazine we read there is at least one new tidbit about our current crop of celebrity babies and their parents. Were all just a little embarrassed if were caught reading the checkout counter rags in the stores, but we just cant seem to help ourselves. Is this a passing trend? Will we ever tire of the offerings of pictures and information presented to us by the paparazzi? Its extremely doubtful. We mean no harm. We wish these stars, our Made in the USA, versions of the Royal Family our best, but give them absolute privacy? I dont think so. Celebrity Mom and Baby tracking have become an international pass-time. How very interesting it is to peek inside their world for just a second. However, if theres a trend worth noting, the celebs appear to be becoming less glamorous and more like average everyday people to me. Granted, they are jet setters; people with deep pockets and quirks a-plenty. But if there were one thing all the media coverage has brought to the surface, it would be that the majority of our stars are more like us than we ever dared to dream. They look stunning on the red carpet, but the candid photos show that even the shiniest of stars look a little worse for wear on the spur of the moment trip to the quick stop store. Could it possibly be that they walk their colic-y babies at night to calm them just like the rest of us? While the nannies may need to take over while moms shooting a blockbuster film, theres evidence of everyday movie star mom involvement with the kids. Remember the days when the annual Christmas Special was the only time celebrities and their babies appeared to share the same room? Was this because the photographers of that day gave them more privacy and only snapped pictures at scheduled photo shoots? Or was the attitude at that time that children were to be seen and not heard? Whatever the reason, the Mommie Dearest moments seem to have gone by the wayside and have been replaced with hands-on parenting of a much more loving nature and we the public cant get enough. |
