Pregnant in Hollywood

So yes, I am totally obsessed with Celebrity Baby Blog. Maybe it's just that little part of me with the maternal urges kicking through, but I think a lot of it is the cute fashion babies have and the gossipy-nature of figuring out how Hollywood families live though.

But with Halle Berry's recent announcement that she is three months pregnant, it struck me how few celebrity babies are born to parents who are married. The news just made a big deal of Michelle & Heath's breakup, but they never got married. And whether it's Drea de Matteo and Scooter Jennings, Nicole & Joel, Scott Baio and Renee Sloan, Brangelina, Tobey Maguire and Jen Meyer (who JUST got married), Poppy Montgomery & her bfriend, Bridget Moynihan & Tom Brady, Naomi & Liev, Salma Hayek & her fiance, Jaime Pressly & her fiance, who is married??? I guess Gavin & Gwen did it the traditional way. Ironically, the biggest cover-up involves happily married Christina Aguilera & Jordan Bratman!! Of course there are others, but all of the headlines are generated by those who are so happy to have a baby together but totally oppose marriage.

I guess it's better than the alternative, right? :)
