Justin Timberlake’s grandma claims Jessica Biel is refusing to get pregnant

wenn20641413

Have you noticed how quiet Jessica Biel has been lately? She’s rarely getting pap’d these days, she isn’t showing up to the opening of an envelope anymore, and… I just counted, she’s only done TWO red carpets in 2014. Wow. I guess a lot of us expected Jessica to get pregnant right away after marrying Justin Timberlake. Because – and I honestly don’t mean to be as harsh as this sounds – what else does she have going on? Nothing. She’s doing “make work” like opening a family-friendly restaurant. She’s also on the cover of the new issue of Dior Magazine. Promoting nothing.

Before now, the gossip has been centered around the idea that Justin was the one who was throwing a proverbial wrench in the baby plans. But now JT’s grandma is speaking out! Granny Sadie Bomar (great name) tells Star Mag that Jessica is the one putting babies on hold!

Jessica Biel isn’t fully on board with the one thing many women wish they could do: have Justin Timberlake’s babies! The singer’s beloved grandmother, Sadie Bomar, tells Star exclusively that after nearly two years of marriage, the 33-year-old is ready to be a dad — but his wife is pumping the brakes!

“Justin has wanted to have children all his life,” Sadie explains. “If it were up to him, they’d have a baby tomorrow!”

She says that because the pair’s busy schedules are really to blame for her lack of grandchildren, Jessica is more than happy to leave it to fate and is keeping an open mind. “She is okay with everything happening when it’s meant to be,” Sadie adds. “They will have a child when the good Lord says they should.”

[From Star Magazine]

Since my gossip-memory is long (and hard… and firm…), I went and found a previous instance, back in 2009, when Grandma Sadie spoke out about her grandson. Sadie is mouthy. I like that in a woman. Back in 2009, Grandma Sadie shaded Jessica Biel, saying that as far as the family was concerned, Justin had always been “single” (even though he’d been with Biel a few years at that point). Sadie basically made Biel sound like a trampy whippersnapper trying to trap poor Justin into marriage. Well, Biel got the last laugh on Ol’ Sadie, didn’t she?

Anyway, I don’t know what to believe. Is Biel really putting off babies? That’s a different take.

    All the pills she been taking..girl needs to detox for 2yrs are so

    • redsox says:

      Before starting a family she should get healthy first.

    • BendyWindy says:

      Pills? I want to hear more about this.

      • Boodiba says:

        Ya, what pills?

      • FLORC says:

        Yea, because if Lainey posts a Blind Item about it that never gets revealed it’s gospel.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @FLORC, who wrote: “Yea, because if Lainey posts a Blind Item about it that never gets revealed it’s gospel.”

        Never gets revealed and never gets commented on … at Lainey Gossip, that is. Doesn’t anyone else wonder why Lainey won’t allow comments at her site about what she (et al) writes (and I don’t mean the hidden ‘Blind Vice’ area, but her ‘main’ site)?

        I think there is something SO wrong with that. She never has to own up to anything she’s wrong about … and she ‘has’ been wrong about a few things. “Thou shall NOT question my words, for all that I say is the gospel truth!”

      • Bridget says:

        @emma: do you remember the way the Two Hards ruined the Awful Truth boards and Comments? After that fiasco, I don’t begrudge any site the choice not to allow comments. I often wonder how much work Kaiser, Behead and Celebitchy have to do to moderate these Comments and how much we don’t see.

      • Bridget says:

        Also I’d like to add: blind items really aren’t gospel. We say this about Blind Gossip, we say this about CDAN, and I’d say this about Lainey too. They’re fun, amd they may be clues to a bigger picture, but they’re not gospel.

        Something IS up with Biel, though. She went from hustling hard for years to almost disappearing.

      • qwerty says:

        @Emma
        She said she doesn’t want trolls to destroy her blog. Every now and again there’s a sh!tstorm on the internet because of some crap Bieber or Kstew said and she quotes the emails she gets, and she gets hundreds, and sometimes says sth like “And people ask me why I don’t allow comments”.
        She bashes Twilight and Twihards and gets threats because of that, what’s the point of eplying someone just to censor that stuff?

        As for reveals, she does them, you just have to read carefully. Or look it up on the gossip rocks forum.

      • Olenna says:

        I don’t mind Lainey’s no comment restrictions. If a piece interests me enough, I know I can go somewhere else for more scoop (or dirt). In the scope of things, none of the gossip is important, but if it’s tantalizing, waiting for the truth or untruth is part of the fun of reading it.

    • Lori says:

      This is what I was going to say too. There’s something up with her health wise.

    • Gia says:

      Yup. Ditto. I was going to say the same thing.

      • kri says:

        +Ditto (is that a thing?). But yeah, what the hell? There have been rumors, but who knows. I hate to say something like that unless she says it. Something isn’t right, though because she used to be EVERYWHERE.

      • Gia says:

        To all of the comments above: Lainey is pretty spot on with her blinds. And there is nothing wrong with not allowing comments. Her site. Her rules. Besides, internet commentators be crazy!! 😉

  2. paola says:

    I really don’t know why she is so famous apart from being married to Timberlake and that alone would be a bad thing in my book. They live in a world of delusion where he is a talented actor and she is a talented actress.
    No one cares.

    • Ash says:

      I thought JT was okay with the film with Cillian Murphy, but that’s all I’ve seen of his. Wasn’t the best acting I thought.

      I’ve noticed that Biel’s characters are particularly the same, so, I only see them if one of my fav actors are in it. Other than that, I pass them up.

      Is it just me or does she do the same exact pith pose in all of her pics?

    • Tapioca says:

      Well she was perfect for Blade: Trinity and showed some reasonable acting chops in Easy Virtue, but who wants to work with her ego when you can get any wannabe starlet equally moderately talented who’s desperate to work for pennies?

      Like Alba & Fox she shot herself in the foot by not realising how LUCKY she was.

  3. Izzy says:

    Isn’t the grandmother also the one who blabbed to the press that they got engaged? She sounds like as much of a jerk as her grandson. The douche is strong in this family…

    • Badirene says:

      +1

      What does grandma have to say about him being a cheating douchebag.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      +2

    • Merritt says:

      I was just about to post something similar. I have a friend who met Timberlake many years ago, due to her job and she said he was a huge douche.

    • jaye says:

      Yes! His mom mom is ALWAYS bumpin’ them gums about something.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I agree. I don’t care how you are related to someone, you do NOT talk about another woman’s fertilty plans/issues/preferences. It is for HER alone to share with the world (or not).

      Sometimes the uterus is treated like public property and it gets under my skin, obviously. 🙂

      • Miss M says:

        Tiffany, I completely agree with you. I came here to say the same things. Who knows if they have fertility issues?!

      • StormsMama says:

        Tiffany
        This is my thought too.
        God for all we know JBiel is having a very difficult time getting preg or carrying to full term. Maybe she’s had fertility issues or miscarriages. If she has, gramma timberlake certainty isn’t helping by talking about it matter of factly. Ultimately we can speculate but a relative should keep it classy and respectful by saying he/she only wants what’s best for them, health and happiness etc

      • Becky1 says:

        +1,000 @Tiffany. Justin’s grandmother needs to keep her mouth shut.

      • Isadora says:

        It could even fit if the blind item about painkillers is true – there are several gynecological conditions that involve severe pain and infertility issues.

        I don’t particlularly like her as an actress or her and JT as a couple, but she doesn’t deserve shade for not being pregnant. Nobody knows what’s going on.

  4. Rhea says:

    Huh. That’s an interesting twist from her if it’s true…

    • Rice says:

      I don’t know. Star isn’t exactly a reliable news source.

      Lol @ whippersnapper.

  5. crab says:

    It’s nobody’s business! When she’s ready to have a baby she’ll have one! Just because your a woman people automatically assume that that’s the only thing you want in life! I for one don’t and never wanted kids and it shuts people up when they ask you when are you going to have a baby! I say never I don’t want any! The look on their faces are priceless!

    • whipmyhair says:

      That bitch! How dare she want to be in control of her body and her life by not having a baby!

      Crab, try telling people that you want to be single. Especially in a Christian environment. People can’t understand why I don’t want to be married (which means celibate in my case). I get a lot of “Don’t worry, it will happen, just wait and pray on it.” I give them death stares. Weddings have essentially been 1/2 pity- “poor whip, she is 27 and has never had a serious boyfriend.” And the other 1/2 “ooh whip your single, you’ll be next I just now it! Go catch the bouquet with girls 10 years younger than you while we watch! It’s fun to remind single people that they’re alone at weddings!”

      OK I feel better now. WAAAY to many weddings, engagements and new love around me.

      • Badirene says:

        I hear that. When my 17 year old niece got pregnant my sister rang me to tell me that I was being left behind! Celebrating teenage pregnancy and shaming me for being 30 yrs old, employed home owner with a long term boyfriend. My sister is a twat and I relayed this sentiment to her.

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        OMG! I know how you feel. I had the same thing come up. While I am responsible about my life. I get shamed for not having a child, before the trampy teens in the family. What is wrong with people?!

        And funny enough. I have a twat for a sister too! 🙂

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        I’m with you, Whipmyhair!

      • whipmyhair says:

        @OKit,

        I think we should celebrate our awesome singleness. I’ll bring the chips.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Perfect! I’m getting the mimosa makings as we speak.

      • AryaMartell says:

        Whip I feel for you. Oh god do I. I’ll just say it gets worse when you are in a relationship. I am getting married in the middle of August and while my immediate family knows better than to ask or bring up children both of our grandmothers have been up our ass about children. They don’t care for our response of “it’ll happen when we’re ready.” My soon-to-be’s grandma is the worst, likely due to being Catholic so she feels I should drop out of grad school and immediately pump out babies be fruitful and multiply and all that bs and doesn’t understand why that won’t happen. It’s maddening to deal with. I am more than a baby factory!!!!!

      • GeeMoney says:

        Try being 35 and single. People just don’t let up.

        Perhaps they’ll get off of my back when I turn 40. But then again, who knows.

      • @Kitten
        I’m bringing sangria…..I am SO lucky that I have a mom that is just not concerned about that–dating, etc. I’m lucky because I am a real homebody–maybe I wouldn’t be as much if there was stuff to do where I live…..but I am someone who has ZERO problems being by myself. I’ve never had a boyfriend. When I told my mom that I wanted to adopt kids, she didn’t even ask me about a boyfriend or marriage (I told one of her friends–who’s in Marseilles–that I wanted to adopt, and the first thing she asked about was ‘what if my husband didn’t want to adopt’?)….but told me to be able to take care of myself and my kids–whether I get married or not.

        I don’t get what’s the big thing about being with someone. For me, if I ask someone if they’re married/have a boyfriend or not–it’s generally just a conversation starter because I have no clue what to say (same with the kids question)–not any kind of social judgement.

        I am a complete, whole person BY MYSELF. Sure, being in a serious, committed relationship (which is what I think I would be in, if I ever got with someone) would be wonderful–but I’m not going to hedge my bets on that, and it’s not something that I’m going to be chasing after. I don’t need a man to have value.

        Also OT—I just watched ‘End of Days’ last night..with Gabriel Byrne. Dear Lord–I’m gonna have to put him on the HIT LIST. I didn’t realize just how sexy he was (I’d only seen him in ‘Little Women’)…and I know I’m not the only one who was wishing that he would’ve AT LEAST gotten to third base with Christine.

        SEE–that’s another reason why it’s good to be single. You can watch hot movies with your favorite eyecandy/future husband (cough*LiamNeesonIsMyHusband-YouBitchesBetterFindSomeoneElseBeforeISlutShankYouAll*cough)……..a few days ago, my mom asked my dad to hand her a plate of food, so she could ‘go watch her man’ (Timothy Olyphant on ‘Justified’), and my dad stopped and said ‘What? I already gave you Sidney Poitier–you can’t have ANOTHER ONE.”…haha.

      • Lady D says:

        Whip, I’ve have been telling people I want to remain single since I was 18. I was adamant then, adamant now 35 years later, and I still get told, ‘don’t worry, it will happen.’ Some of my friends have known me that long, and they still “reassure” me that it will happen.

      • LIttleDeadGirl says:

        Oh my god you guys make me feel so much better. 29 … visiting family. All my cousins are on their second children and I’m totally uninterested in marriage or children. I date when I feel like it and stay single when I feel like it too. I had to listen to all these women around me today talking about how “well as long as I don’t know about it they don’t mind if the husband cheats”. I just balked. I got asked when I was getting married … I said whenever I felt like it. Never mind I’m becoming a veterinarian and came back from Thailand … going to Ethiopia next. Nope. That’s not interesting … how about we talk about a book or an idea. Nope. When I’m popping out a kid is interesting. I had to keep drinking wine to keep my mouth shut and just smile.

      • Ange says:

        I refused the bouquet toss after a while, flat out refused. If you do it straight out most people won’t know what to do and will leave you alone. I did get the odd person trying to physically drag me out there but they can’t do much if you immediately walk back off the dance floor hehehe.

      • BestJess says:

        Wish I could tell you it goes away whipmyhair but at 38 I still get questioned. I’ve done the long term live in relationship thing and. I NEVER EVER want to do it again. It’s not some just broke up reaction either. I’ve been essentially single for 10 years now and never in my life have I wanted kids. I don’t hate children, they’re just little people and so some are lovely and others are horrid, I’m quite good with other people’s kids and always offer to baby sit for folks. I just don’t want to commit to a lifelong investment in one of my own. I also don’t really like who I become in relationships. So for me it’s been ten mostly happy years of a few friends with benefits and some long celibate stretches.

        I have learned though that when people insist you MUST want to do something it’s usually because they did it and are trying to convince themselves it was the right thing.

        “I got asked when I was getting married … I said whenever I felt like it. Never mind I’m becoming a veterinarian and came back from Thailand … going to Ethiopia next. Nope. That’s not interesting … how about we talk about a book or an idea. Nope. When I’m popping out a kid is interesting”

        I feel you littledeadgirl. I have a really interesting job, I have been to every continent on earth except Antarctica (holding that for my 50th year) and have been to places that 99.9% the world will never see. People don’t ask me about Somalia or Gaza or my job they ask if there’s “anyone special” in my life. I say yes there is, ME.

      • melior says:

        Whipmyhair I know what you mean. I(m in the same situation. In a Christian environment the pressure to get married is pretty great. Luckily, I don’t have to go to so many weddings and people in France are more respectful of your private life

      • @melior
        What’s rather ironic is that I know a LOT of Christians who would say the exact opposite. Don’t get me wrong, they do think that you would be happier with a husband/wife and kids–but they say that they’d rather you never get married, than get married and choose wrong–as you’re stuck with them (in their eyes–no divorce).

      • LIttleDeadGirl says:

        Thanks for the support BESTJESS. I am with you too and I’m proud you stuck to your guns. I’m the same way. It’s so awesome you’ve been to so many places, traveling is my dream, and it’s one of the reasons I don’t want to be married and have kids. I just can’t see myself doing that and world travel. I am in relationships ever so often and most have been fun but I often either get bored or start to feel suffocated. I just like my place, my stuff, and my time. I don’t see what’s so wrong about that. I’m great with my neices and nephews and would give them a lung if they asked but I just have no interest in any of my own. I love my life, with it’s ups and downs, and if I ever find a relationship I want to be in forever I will be.

        To be honest I’ve probably been influenced by so many failed and unhappy marriages I’ve seen in my own life and family. I think I was 12 when I looked at my parents and grandparents and uncles and aunts and parents of friends and went nooooope … no interest in any part of that. All of them still married and all them looking so unhappy. Then there was one of my dad’s friends who had girlfriends but never got married or had kids and he saw every place on earth and his house was like this treasure trove of memories and we talked for hours and I was like yup … your life … that’s for me.

    • Helvetica says:

      +1 Childfree women have to deal with so much crap sometimes from some women from the “mommy brigade” as I call them. I am one of the only women in my office who does not have kids and just yesterday I heard a passive-aggressive remark from a colleague about how I will be old when I have kids and she had hers young so that she could not have to deal with it later “and how many do you have” she said. UM, really that is NONE of your business. AT all what I choose to do with my uterus. I hate the condescending/rude remarks.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Grrrrrr I so understand. I get sh*t like that all the time. Exhausting.

      • Original Lee says:

        + 1 – I have zero inclination to have children. The responses I get to saying that and not being *ashamed* of it, are ridiculous.

        “Well, what do your husband say?” – that’s between me and my husband. How we decide to conduct our relationship is not open for debate.

        “You’re being selfish” 1. Maybe I am. I like sleeping in, traveling, and being spontaneous. 2. How is me being “selfish” effecting you?

        “What about the grandparents? Did you even think of them?” The only person who gets a say in having children is my husband.

        “Having children is the BEST thing I’ve ever done. You’re young. You just don’t know what you want yet and you’ll change your mind.” Good for you. And no, probs not. Also, you’re being condescending. So please stop talking.

        “You won’t have anyone to take care of you once your old”

        Etc, etc. People act like I’m too stupid to figure out that I actually really, really want babies, when in fact, I don’t. I have nothing against other people having kids, it’s their decision. But I really wish people would respect my decisions. Not everyone longs for babies and parenthood.

      • Crocuta says:

        @Original Lee. I’m going through this often, too, it’s bloody annoying.

        “Well, what do your husband say?” – I’ve heard this one one time too many. And then everyone’s in shock when I say that if he at some point wants kids SO MUCH and I still don’t, we’ll just have to break up and find new partners. But I do feel every time somebody mentions this that they’re hinting to my man to get a more womanly woman.

        “You’re being selfish” – Selfish why? How? I never understood that argument.

        “What about the grandparents? Did you even think of them?” – Ooooh, that’s the selfish part? My parents do have grandchildren, just not from me. And even if they didn’t have them already, I fail to see how this matters.

        “Having children is the BEST thing I’ve ever done. You’re young. You just don’t know what you want yet and you’ll change your mind.” – Good for you. Can I live my own life now, I prefer different things than you, obviously. Also, it’s fun when I’m being told this by women younger than me.

        “You won’t have anyone to take care of you once your old” – Except the retirement home, paid by my pension/savings. Just like with 90% of old people who have adult kids but don’t want to be a burden to them.
        Also, having kids so they take care of you when you’re old … Who’s being selfish again?

        Another one I’ve heard often:

        “I know you don’t like kids, but you’ll like your own!” – Yea, sure. You don’t like vomiting on a daily basis either and yet if you do it, you’ll like being thinner. You think I’m being ridiculous with this comparison? Well, this is exactly how your proposition sounds to me.

      • Leapea says:

        And to perpetuate stereotypes even further, as a black female 30+, divorced no children, I get “so how many kids do you have?” When I say none I am given looks ranging from pity (oh you poor thing!) to suspicion (hmm? Must be a drug thing!) because, you know ALL black women have children. GTFOH.

      • Eleonor says:

        Ladies you’ve forgotten the “NOW you say this, BUT you’ll see when the biological clock…” eyeroll.

      • GeeMoney says:

        @Original Lee

        Anyone who tells you that you are being “selfish” for not having any children should be SMACKED. I can’t believe that people say that s^%$.

        Not to mention, don’t get me started on the people who are moms and secretly HATE being a mother…

      • Tiffany :) says:

        I feel ya’ Helvetica and Original Lee! People shouldn’t be looked down upon because they chose not to have kids. It isn’t a lesser position. It also isn’t anyone’s business. I find it so odd that people regularly talk about the status of women’s uterus, but people would never talk in the lunchroom about a man and the status of his prostate.

      • littlestar says:

        When people ask you “When are you going to have kids?” or “Why don’t you have kids yet?” just respond with this: “How much money do you make?”

        Or is that being rude too by responding to a rude question with an even ruder none of your f*cking business question? 😀

      • @Orig.Lee
        The one response I HATE the most is the ‘you’re being selfish’ remark. ORLY?

        So it’s not selfish to have so many kids that you can’t take care of them?

        It’s not selfish to have said kids with men that you KNOW won’t take care of them (as is my experience–a lot of my cousins have kids with men who have two or three other kids that they KNOW they don’t pay child support for, and somehow think that they’ll be different)?

        But it is selfish to know your limitations as a person–that you KNOW that you can’t or don’t want to give up a part of YOUR life to have that kid(s). Or if you have fertility issues and don’t want to spend all of that money OR adopt to have a baby.

        God. And we wonder why there are so many kids being put up for adoption, being put into fostercare. By unselfish parents.

      • Bridget says:

        Rule #1: the only womb I am allowed to discuss unsolicited, or have an opinion on, is my own.

    • Eleonor says:

      Agreed.
      It’s awful when people feel authorised to discuss about someone else uterus situation.
      If she doesn’t want kids, it’s her and Justin matter.
      And what if she is trying to get pregnant and it doesn’t work??? No one should feel allowed to discussa that.

      • whipmyhair says:

        I used to be up in people’s business about babies. Then I turned 19. I don’t care what people do with their good parts if it doesn’t involve me.
        (I really love the phrase “good parts”.)

    • Marmaduke45 says:

      I have two sisters who got pregnant very young (by young I mean early-mid 20’s), married because they were pregnant , struggled financially and were both divorced within 5 years of being married. I was the single sister who went long periods of time between relationships and never felt like I was missing out by not being married or having children. I was fortunate enough to have friends that, though they were married & parents themselves, never treated me like I was missing out on anything. I met the man who would become my husband when I was 30, married him when I was 32, and had our daughter when I was 33. I applaud women/couples who possess the self awareness to know they don’t want children. With everything that is available to women/couples these days, bringing a child into this world and starting a family should be a conscious choice rather than one that is thrust upon them or compelled upon them by societal or familial pressure. I wish that people could be as comfortable with someone else’s choices as they are comfortable with their own.

    • Laura says:

      Exactly – it’s her choice. She isn’t obligated to become pregnant – ever. And her decision isn’t grandma’s business. Not everyone wants children. Why do all women need to be married and have children to be happy?

    • Izzy says:

      And don’t you find people do the same thing about marriage with single people? Every time someone gets engaged or married, all the older adults look at me and are all “You’re next!”

      I’m going to start doing the same thing to them. At funerals.

    • Josephine says:

      I think people assumed she wanted a baby because 1) she seemed desperate to marry him and, so say some, put with a lot of cheating from him; and, 2) she doesn’t have anything going-on career wise. Just because she seems like a doormat doesn’t mean all people everyone are wondering about all women everywhere having babies.

      But really, I doubt most people think about her at all anymore.

  6. Tania says:

    Lainey has said in the past that there is a pill problem.

  7. Jegede says:

    It doesn’t sound like she’s putting it off.

    It seems like they are leaving it to fate.

    Either way good luck to them.

    I say as a woman its a painful nightmare when strangers wonder on the functioning of your uterus.
    Even worse when family members come out with it!!

  8. Mata says:

    I’m no fan of Biel, but on this Sadie needs to keep her trap shut. I had a family member who’s husband had fertility issues due to chemical exposure in a job he’d worked when he was a young man. The couple was heartbroken when they found out and didn’t tell anyone. His side of the family knew he always wanted kids, so when kids hadn’t come along, they started throwing shade her way, and gossiping that kids would get in the way of her career.

    When I saw this story, I thought back to that. Could Sadie’s story be true? Sure. But Grandmas should stay out of the bedroom.

    • Cherry says:

      That’s a horrible story, Mata, but thank you for sharing it. It really sums it all up: why we have no business discussing other people’s fertility, and why grandmas need to -as you said- stay out of the bedroom. She’s way out of line discussing this with anyone, let alone Star Magazine.

    • Original Lee says:

      Wow. That’s awful – for both of them as a married couple, and then for the wife separately for the way the family treated her in the aftermath. Mindsets like that are the reason why women always bear the brunt of the backlash when children don’t come along. It’s automatically assumed it’s “her” fault.

      I guess it just doesn’t occur to people that:

      1. the man might not want children

      2. the man might be unable to have children

      + 2 – family members in general need to stay out of the bedroom. It’s not anyone’s business but the couples whether they have children or not. In fact, I think a lot of relationships would probably be healthier if family members weren’t butting in and giving their “advice”

    I’ve been a JT fan since I was 12, which is more years ago than I care to count, so I’m very familiar with his Granny. Everytime she speaks out, it makes me giggle. Grandma Bomar needs to have a seat.

    I’m warming up to Jessica after years of really, really disliking her. I think Justin has been good for her image. Makes her seem….warmer and less robotic? Anyway, she’s barely recognizable on the Dior cover.

    • Val says:

      I really don’t understand why people hate her so much… I always thought she seemed pretty down to earth and nice. And that comment about being “too beautiful to get roles” were totally words put in her mouth by the magazine… there is no actual quote of her saying that.
      I hope she isn’t popping pills and I wish people would cut her some slack for once.

      • Um, she was quoted by Allure—

        *”Jessica Biel says her good looks are hurting her career.
        “Yeah, it really is a problem,” Biel tells the June issue of Allure magazine. “I have to be blunt.”*

        How is that putting words in her mouth? They asked her if her looks hurt her career and she said yes.

      • Val says:

        @Virgilia Coriolanus
        I don’t know, I just find the wording off – would an interviewer really ask “Are your good looks hurting your career?” ?
        Or maybe they asked if her previous sexy roles/sexy magazine spreads have hurt her career, or her “sexy image” since 7th Heaven.
        What she is replying to with “Yeah, it really is a problem” is unclear. They could easily have spun that.

        I don’t want to rehash this 2009 stuff, seems silly, I just find the hate for this girl pretty crazy and needless. Personally, I never thought she came across vapid or stupid or arrogant in interviews…

  10. IriP says:

    I wouldn’t ever guess that’s her on a cover of that magazine. She’s “shopped” and “brushed” into youngest Olsen girl there!

  11. Flounder says:

    What pill problem??

    • Sabrina says:

      Apparently a Lainey blind item about an actress addicted to pills seems like it could be about Jessica. She was the most popular guess for it.

  12. kimber says:

    … I dont discriminate against the elderly. .. biatch needs to stfu bc I’m sure her precious JT isnt perfect either. I’ve never enjoyed the company of a bitty mother…especially an old one. She isnt feisty just bitty.

    • TG says:

      I agree Justin is a huge baby and runs to mommy and granny for everything. Mommy must approve of everything so this wouldn’t surprise me if he was using his grams to passive aggressively shame and blame Jessica. Wish she would ditch this huge douche.

      • AryaMartell says:

        If that’s the case, then Justin should have thought twice about marrying her.

  13. Belle Epoch says:

    What does she do all day? Does she do any volunteer work? She’s pretty enough but seems so vapid. With every advantage – youth, health, fame, and money on her side – there is still nothing interesting to say about her?

  14. Jackson says:

    Who knows what dbag Justin tells his Granny? He probably just tells her what she wants to hear and puts the blame on Jessica. Besides, it doesn’t sound like Jessica is “refusing” to get pregnant from that story, more like ‘when it happens, it happens.’

  15. rianic says:

    Leaving it to fate and keeping and open mind doesn’t quit sound like refusing to me.

    As a woman who struggled with infertility, I have to voice maybe she can’t get pregnant right off? It took two years – a year of trying on our own, a year of Meds then six rounds of IUI to get my twins.

    • One of my aunt’s struggled with infertility for years. She was married (before she got with my uncle) at 18, then had one daughter, and for years her and her husband tried to have more kids. They always assumed it was her ex who was infertile until he had a baby, right away with another woman….then she got with my uncle, and they found out that it was her.

      She had to have shots in her butt for six months (and they were like a thousand dollars a shot, once a week–I think, don’t quote me), before she could another their daughter. And she had a miscarriage, so she had to do it all over again.

        Virgilia

        In an earlier post you mentioned Marseille. Are you in France by any chance?

  16. aenflex says:

    Oh, you mean when complex chemistry says they should.

  17. Murphy says:

    Wait so she’s unwilling to have one or she just doesn’t want to chart her ovulation?

  18. tila says:

    Say what you want about her acting and life choices but she’s probably got one of the best bodies out there.

  19. Sandy says:

    Yeah, because we all tell our grandmas the truth! And if we don’t, they think they know it anyway and gladly talk to the tabloids. How can this even be a story?

  20. eliza says:

    I bet granny’s allowance will be getting another reduction this year. Lol.

    I do not understand why everyone must marry and immediately start the baby making machine up? Both are young and there is time for children. I am sure Timberfake and Biel have a plan thst will work for them. They need a plan to become better actors too.

  21. Anon33 says:

    This thread has given me life. I join all of you other child free ladies in solidarity!!

    Luckily I have very understanding family and friends, it’s other people (like coworkers) who are the worst.

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

      but these are the people you can have the most fun with 🙂 when they talk about their kids you talk about your cat – even if you don’t have one. They discuss diapers – you discuss your cats litter box. They talk about baby food – you talk about how your cat prefers Cat chow to whiskas and won’t even eat that expensive organic cat food. They talk about their kids first words you tell them about kitties fight with fluffy from next door.

  22. M says:

    No offense but how would the grandma know what is going on in the bedroom. So she doesn’t want kids yet, maybe it is true, maybe it isn’t but it isn’t her business or ours. She will have kids when she wants.

    That grandma sure talks a lot, but I am sure she won’t mention any douchery things her grandson has done, which I am sure is a lot.

  23. zan says:

    Kaiser: And hard…and firm… hahahahaha

  24. AryaMartell says:

    I know these old women who say these things think they mean well but they need to butt out and quit shaming. I got my fiancee’s grandmother and my own already asking these questions about when I will get pregnant and both of them at various points lamenting about how we were living in sin a year ago. I get grandmas are old-fashioned but for the love of god, butt out our private lives.

  25. word says:

    It’s her body. No one can force a woman to get pregnant.

  26. JenniferJustice says:

    Hmmm…I haven’t figured her out. Nobody should have baby if they don’t want one and nobody should be criticized for not wanting children. That said, I think she does want children and the whole family thing, but she’s worried about JT’s philandering, especially if she’s big pregnant and not looking like a model for several months. If I were married to JT, I wouldn’t have babies either, but then, I wouldn’t marry a cheater that I had to worry about.

    • DuffnStuff says:

      +1 JenniferJustice,

      I think she’s afraid to have children with him. If he’s an unfaithful husband – she probably doesn’t feel she can trust moving forward having a family with him. Whatever the case, I agree with all here who say its her decision and very rude of the granny to voice her opinions on such a private matter.

  27. Marianne says:

    Theres a whole bunch of possibilties.

    1)Jessica is having trouble conceiving. Grandma being an old whack-a-doodle can’t seem to accept that and puts blame on Jessica for “not wanting to”.

    2) JT really doesn’t want to become a father, Grandma refuses to believe this, puts blame on jessica.

    3)Jessica doesn’t want to have babies. Grandma is right.

    Or…..maybe they are both waiting till the right time in their lives. Jessica might not be doing anything right now, but maybe JT is busy and they want to wait when his schedule is a little more clear.

    Either way, who the eff cares. Its their issue…not the grandmas. Not ours.

    • lunchcoma says:

      Yeah, there are a whole lot of possibilities other than Jessica not wanting to have a child right away. That would be perfectly fine too, but Grandma sounds like she’s a spiteful guilt-tripper, so I’m not very inclined to take her account of anything at face value.

  28. Jayna says:

    Well, it sounds like they aren’t using birth control, so I don’t see that she’s putting on the brakes. But I guess she is not doing anything past that, hence the comment leave it up to fate, or maybe she’s not telling grandma their conceiving issues. Maybe they’ve looked into a little more past just no birth control since she hasn’t conceived but people don’t share stuff like that, and I’m sure Jessica and Justin wouldn’t be sharing it either. So Justin just says they’re busy right now.

  29. Sam H xx says:

    Maybe Jessica & Justin are having issues conceiving & Jessica doesn’t want to share with his nosey Grandma. Dont blame her. Like someone said above there are many possibilities. I didn’t know about the blind item, kind of sad.

    I hate it when society takes it upon themselves to tell a woman what she should do with her uterus/body and what a woman should think. I’m so tired of the notion of women being constantly being told what to do and say with their lives. Would society bat an eye lid towards a man and tell them what to do?!

    Amongst our Asian community/culture, there is a stereotype that women should be meek, good, submissive & quiet. When a woman who has feminist views on sexism, patriarchy & misogyny prevalent in our culture she is told off by women & seen as westernised. They are so conditioned by culture to accept sexism, misogyny & patriarchy as normal.

    Marriage, I just keep hearing it! Some people in my community are such nosey individuals & feel the need to tell us females what to do with our lives (it’s your age to get married blah blah). How about you mind your damn business & let me live my life?! The institute of marriage doesn’t appeal to me in our culture at all.

    My feminist views are the reason why I don’t fit in with my culture, it’s female stereotype or the girls in our family because they are so conditioned by culture that they don’t want to think anything beyond that or even debate such issues.

  30. gritsngreens says:

    Because men can’t have children!

  31. Mrs.Krabapple says:

    I always saw their relationship dynamic as similar to William & Kate’s. They will have kids if and when Justin wants them.

  32. Egla says:

    There was this woman in my town married and for 10 years she couldn’t conceive. She tried EVERYTHING, all the known doctors around the country, even “black magic” and “herbal cures” etc etc etc….some of them even gave her health problems. Everybody accused her of leaving HIM childless and his family was like an organized mafia against her, baby shaming her all around their friends and colleagues. I was little at that time and even I knew her story, imagine the stress she might have endured.
    Then, one day they decided to take a test on him. He was “shooting blank” and there was no remedy for him. When she heard about that…she slept with her boss and had a baby girl and everybody knew her story (small town and gossipy people) . Now 20 years later the daughter looks like her biological father and people, when have problems with her mother, go to the girl and say to her: “Your mother is a whore who cheated on her husband and you are a bastard of hers etc etc” . Needless to say the girl has issues. The only good thing is that her dad loves the girl regardless even if she is 6 foot tall and with blue eyes and booth her parents are short and brown eyes and it’s obvious she is not his.
    As for the children issue, one day if i find the right man maybe i will have one or two (God willing) but only because i can’t do otherwise in this place i live, but if i could i would adopt and never get married. And when people ask me about marriage or babies i scare them by saying NEVER. Really it has become my favorite game now. They don’t know what argument to use except when i get angry at work because someone isn’t doing his/her job and causing problems they say “Chill out and get a husband and make some babies. It will calm you down”. My answer? You have had a d….k in your life for so long , how came you are so stressed all the time?”
    I have a dirty mouth, shame on me. I wonder how my children will talk to people???? mmmmmmmmmm

    • Isadora says:

      What a horrible story.
      “but only because i can’t do otherwise in this place i live” – You should get out of this place asap, if you ask me. Such judgemental and nosy people…

  33. the original bellaluna says:

    I have nothing but respect for those who do not want children and stand by that.

  34. Kosmos says:

    Maybe she doesn’t need to work the movie circuit anymore now that they are married. Even if she never does another 2-bit film, I’m okay with that, let her be happy doing what she pleases. If she doesn’t want to have children right now, I totally stand by any woman who isn’t ready and she should wait in that case. Children should be wanted and being pregnant and taking on the role of parenting is a huge step for anyone, so saying that someone “refuses” to get pregnant is more like a rule that they have to get pregnant, which doesn’t sound like a choice to me. Give her time and let her make this decision with her husband. I’m sure that they discussed this subject thoroughly before marrying.
