I so love Elton. And what a cute little boy they have.
Me, too! The new baby seems to have been confirmed on other sites — I wonder if this one was “born on Christmas Day”, too? I heard that was why they definitely had to add Zachary’s second middle-name of “Levon”. Awesome!
If they have a new baby, congrats for them.
I get McCarron wanting to keep his private life private, but he should have thought about that before dating Miss Alabama. With the reaction though, you’d think no guy has ever seen a hot woman before.
And I want to see Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling date, that would be cute.
I didn’t catch much of the game but unfortunately I did catch the verbal diarrhea over the girlfriend. I mean of course she’s attractive but I was getting to the point of “alright, already let’s move on”.
I had to laugh though about her going on some show saying she’s not offended or whatever. Since when has an attractive girl not wanted to be told how attractive she is?
ha, exactly..
congrats to them, if that’s the case. their son is adorable. 🙂
your comment is TIRESOME and BEYOND ANNOYING.
get.a.grip.
NEVERMIND…oh wow!!! THANKS for removing that nasty comment!!!
I’m a huge Phillies fan, so I love the hat he is wearing!
“Philadelphia freedom, I love you; yes, I do” . . .
Yes, Zac’s strut in that photo is far too fancy – as if he is about to break out in song. But there are some cuter picture of him from that set.
Emma’s cover? It almost moves me to use a frowning emoticon.
Congrats to them?
And the baby getting grandparents instead of parents? When the child is 10, they will be 60 and 75. If they are still alive.
Even the oldest woman ever to have a child using IVF said she regretted being so old and that it wasn’t fair to the child.
*sorry to ruin the party*
I believe the oldest woman to have a child using IVF was a 63-years old spaniards. She died three years later and left two twins orphan. I don’t see either anything joyful in people trying to play God.
The oldest was a 70-something year old woman in India. There are no age limits there obviously. Really beyond selfish. And I am a 38 year old who will be doing IVF this year and I will only try for a few more years. Beyond early 40s is ridiculous.
As an infertile woman, of normal child bearing age, I’m thrilled that things like IUI, IVF and clomid exist. I’m the product of reproductive intervention and so are my children. If you think we’re “playing god,” do you also believe people who have abortions are doing the same? What about those seeking medical intervention for cancer or other diseases that would otherwise kill them? After all, they’re all disrupting the natural order of things (infertility, pregnancy and disease). It’s ludicrous to accuse one, who REASONABLY takes advantage of readily available technologies, of “playing god.”
I think a 65 year old woman conceiving via ART is most certainly using poor judgement (since she probably won’t have the stamina to keep up with small children), but she may have the help, time and resources to devote to raising a productive member of society. I’d much rather have a mother who “played god,” and conceived me via ART, then one who got knocked up as a teen and pawned me off on the nearest adult so they could go out and party (see cast of Teen Mom).
I didn’t read Dap’s comment as an assault on all fertility intervention, least of all an attack on cancer treatment.
Thanks Miffy.
@MorticiansDoItDeader: playing god = pretending you’re immortal.
Lots of grandparents have to raise their grandchildren. Are they playing God? We aren’t all entitled to have young parents, sometimes its just not in the cards.
There’s a huge difference between raising your grandchildren and purposely going through IVF at an advanced age.
I’m 63 and have grandchildren, I am glad they only visit (they are now teens and 1 preteen) Grandparents do it if they have to but its hard!!! Even with money and help. Besides you don’t know what ailments you may get as a senior (like dementia)
Anon, you make a good point but you can argue that no one knows what’s around the corner. I’m sure my mother would have had a family earlier if she could have known that she would die from cancer in her early 40’s leaving a young family behind.
Granted, older people are more likely going to have to confront those possibilities earlier than people in their 20’s and 30’s but not every case is the same.
@Miffy says: I agree, no one knows what tomorrow will bring. My nieces lost their mom at 36, the girls were 11 and 14. I had them until recently (both are grown now) I am glad I wasn’t older as their caretaker; teen years are exhausting even for younger parents. Elton John has the best health care and help, they will be fine. Sorry to hear about your mom.
Yes, some people die young, leave behind yound children and good for the kids if they have loving grand-parents to take care of them. The difference here is that it’s not a situation anyone chose on purpose.
When you decide to have a child at 65, you know that you are going to have – at least – big health troubles before the child hit his twenties (and if you don’t know it, you’re a delusional popstar surrendered by bootlickers).
Same thing with people who chose to have kids while they don’t have a house or the money to raise them, really. Sure everybody can lose his job or house anytime. But would you applaud someone who would chose to have a kid while living out in the street?
TMZ has a first hand account of LiLo’s drunken diva act on the “film” The Canyons.
It’s epic. Also? I’m glad that people are outing her left and right. Huzzah!
that child is sooo beautiful xx
Elton and David remind me of Robin Willams and Nathan Lane’s characters from The Birdcage on the 1st 3 pics.
Their reps say there is no baby,totally false
🙂
Jackie, I hope your IVF FAILS. You are too judgmental to be raising children. You say you are 38 and want to have a child, but want to cast judgment on people in their 40s who try to have kids? That’s too rich, my dear.
Woah! No need for that. Expressing an (albeit controversial) opinion is met with a wish for her to fail at having a family at all? Too harsh.
Wow, really? I’d never hope for someone’s IVF to fail, no matter how much I disagreed with them. Notice I said I’d stop when I’m in my early 40s. This is because that’s an age when you would normally expect your childbearing years to come to an end. The rhetoric that a person in their 20s could die and leave behind small children fails to acknowledge that a 50, 60 or 70 year old will probably die before a younger one. I want a child more than anything else in this world, but there is a point where my desires have to take a back seat to realistically thinking about how my child’s welfare might be impacted. I can’t bring myself to be that selfish.
Jackie, you’ve obviously thought about this alot and I wish you nothing but luck in your IVF. That probably means about as much as a nasty comment given that it’s all on the internet but I sincerely hope you get what makes you happy.
Jackie, I agree with you completely. I’m 40 now and if my husband and I don’t get pregnant within the next 1-2 years that chapter will be closed. Everyone has the right to make their own choices, but for me early 40’s is the limit.
Good luck and best wishes to you!
@Jaycee: what a mean and inappropriate comment. The fact that, even if Jackie wants so badly to be pregnant and start a family, she is ready to give up on her dream because she thinks it might not be in the best interest of the kid, shows that she would be a terrific mother.
P.S: Jackie: I’m sending you good thoughts to neutralize Jaycee-Cruella comment 😉
@ Miffy- Thank you! We’ve been trying for nearly 8 years and I’ve gone through the gamut of emotions. If I am never able to get pregnant, I don’t think I will ever completely get over it, but I can’t let it define my entire life. The first few years I would have done anything and only in the last year or so have I started to even accept that it may not happen and I am going to have to come to terms with that. I still have hope though 🙂
Dear Jackie, as a woman unable to bring a child into the world I found that at my age (45) I am finally ok with it. I was fortunate enough that my 2nd husband had 2 children he had custody of. The really big thing for me was that for a time I met another woman who was such a wonderful woman and wantabe mother and guess what- all of our expectations and daydreams may not be real. All those daydreams even when you have your own child may not be even anywhere close to your dreams. I took over raising my 2 very ornery stepkids and frankly all the drama that was -did show me a real reality. Fortunatly for me, these new grandkids do not no the difference between REAL grandma and me and frankly its all ok. I really suggest forming bonds with nieces or nephews who might need you. Those bonds can be stronger than you think.
I have two nephews, 3 1/2 and 2. I was devastated when my SIL announced her pregnancies. But how I absolutely love and adore them. I’d give anything to and do anything for them. The oldest one loves aviation and space as I do and he gets it entirely from my influence in his life. These are the sorts of things I have always imagined I’d do with my own kids. My nephews do a lot to fill this void in my life 🙂
@ Becky1- Sending baby dust to you 🙂
Actually, because they are older, I think it’s better they give their son a sibling. Think of how close Will and Harry are. I am extremely close to my sister. This way no matter what happens they will always have each other and be close in age. Not everyone is lucky enough to be close to their sibling, but if they are, it’s great. Being brought up with such wealth and privilege and Elton’s longterm addiction gene that took him years to kick, you never know. One sibling could be a mess and one wonderful. I know this child is Elton’s. The second one might be David’s, though. Life is a crapshoot. I have made no point at here with this post. LOL
Ozzy looks so youthful in that picture with his granddaughter!
Elton John is the same age as Glenn Close, Camilla Parker Bowles and Hillary Clinton. Would you applaude if any of this women just had a baby through IVF?
GREAT point. The age issue is never as much of a factor in men as it is in women.
@ Dap. Thank you for the kind words. I’m actually quite proud of myself that I responded to her in a rational and civilized manner. On another day and in another mood, I might have gone on a lunatic rant instead 😉
Emma Stone’s magazine cover looks like the pictures my friends and I used to take in high school trying to look hot. Ouch! And Ozzy looks amazing! He must have made the same deal with the devil Bowie did. And Pamela..? I remember reading something about her when she did Baywatch, about how she only put sunscreen on her lips. Hindsight is a (wrinkled) bitch.
yuc! 2 old fat trolls playing house.
