It’s got to be a total female thing. There is not a guy I know who is interested in seeing any type of newborn baby photo (unless it has two heads or something). Even if it’s friends or family. Of course he’ll do it to be polite but behind that faux smile is thinking (huh? yep, it’s a baby all right). Even if I could view them for free by cliking on a link or opening a rag at the checkout I wouldn’t bother. Why would I? Huh, yep, it’s a baby all right. But for some reason females are hard wired to look at newborn photos. Must be the same hard wiring that makes them watch “A Wedding Story” or “A Baby Story” about a new stranger each week over, and over, and over, and over. ---

[QUOTE=gwendee] For weeks I’ve been wishing the Jolie-Pitts would adopt Bret Favre, and they’d all disappear from my home page headlines. [/quote] AMEN. > [@gwendee](#): > > I guess it’s shrewd of the Jolie-Pitts to recognize that there’s money available for this “commodity” that they have, and to turn that into revenue for a cause that’s important to them, but byt participating at all they’re only perpetuating the weirdness that makes someone in a conference room say “Offer them $15 million” about…baby pictures. Apparently Nicole Kidman has [rejected](http://www.hollywood.com/news/Nicole_Kidman_Rejects_Baby_Photos_Deal/5273704) offers to sell her baby’s photos and may release one for free. ---

[QUOTE=gwendee] I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of any of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s kids.

[QUOTE=SaharaTea] I think you can see a lot of Tom Cruise in her as well, however rumors are still circulating the internet that he isn’t her bio father, or that they faked the pregnancy, or both. [/QUOTE] :rolleyes: Well, of COURSE he’s not her biological father. Didn’t you hear the screams from mesdames Kidman, Cruz, and Holmes when Mister Cruise first disrobed in their presence and they saw his, um, [equipment](http://pics.livejournal.com/divalea/pic/0006z97s.jpg)? The echo of Nicole’s shriek can still be heard in the Lammouth. ---
