World's Ugliest Baby Born

I would define a normal life as:

- a constant home

- being taken care of by your own parents or adoptive parents; not people hired to do it.

- people love you for the person you are; not the money and fame that you have.

- learning how to make money for yourself; not having it handed to you.

- Not having people watch and talk about every single move you make.

- Not having who your dating announced to the entire world.


This girl is probably going to be cutting by 10, drinking and smoking by 13, and pregnant by 16.

So you define a "normal life" as one where you never move location, don't have childcare, preschool, or school either, where your financial needs as a child aren't taken care of, and when you do get married you do it in secret. Not to mention that nobody cares about anything you do or say.


Sounds more like the life of a crack child to me.

I think you might have just slightly misunderstood what I meant.

1.) never move location? how did you get that? I meant that your not moving nightly, etc.

2.) I meant by being risen by your own parents was that they are there for you not parents that you only see on the weekend and are you are taken care of by nannies the rest of the week.

3.) By making money for yourself I meant, saving up for your own car, etc. Not that you have to make enough money to pay for food, school, housing, etc.

4.) And I meant that you don't have EVERYONE knowing, not just the people that you actually know.


Gees, no offense, but I think you took my post a little to extreme.
 
Imagine the horror if the baby grew up and ended up being really ugly, or even average looking --- with parents who look like that? She's gonna have to be good looking, no?
 
Let's hope for the baby's sake they stay together. can't imagine it tho, him and JA were much better suited. These celebs tend to have brief marriages in general.

Joan Rivers made a very good point about celebrity children. After attending the birth of her grandchild, the doctor turned to her and said "She has your nose". Joan replied "How can she? I didn't have this nose until I was 26."

Having beautiful parents in Hollywood doesn't guarantee anything. A lot of the beauty doesn't come from genetics.

However, the child's going to have a lot of money to go sort anything she doesn't like. She'll be beautiful eventually, whatever nature gives her.

WTF? Oh yeah. You people dont have celebrities or beautiful people over there (oh wait... yeah I'm pretty sure), nor do your news agencies cover anything but the most important and crucial world wide news events. What a putz.

No need to get nasty! There's a reason why none of the US news agencies are trusted for objective news!

There really want's a comment on how her parents will raise her. But, the six points are all going to be tough to get. Unfortunately, while I don't think people have become bigger celebrity worshipers than before, their addiction is fed more easily. Between the internet and the various magazines, it will be tough (makes me long for the heyday of made up stories in the National Inquirer) for the girl to avoid cameras. And, I suspect decisions will be difficult for her to make - being egged on by the public and the media will probably encourage even more outlandish behavior. I'll even put money on a very well distributed sex tape within 6 months of 18. Tragic? Yes. Her fault? Yes, but not as much as dealing with what I expect to be fairly absent parents and an intrusive public/media.

(omg, I can't believe I'm defending the behavior of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie) I agree that getting stable factors of the "typical" life experience is going to be very challenging.

But I do think it was about parenting. The nanny vs. actual parents comment certainly was. The learning how to earn money vs. being given it was. These are things that we don't know how Brad and Angelina will handle, and it assumes they will be handled differently (and implying worse) than the average parent.

I also think that the rationalization that the child will make bad decisions 12-18 years from today b/c you assume a camera will be watching the kid the whole time, is A HUGE assumption. Perhaps they won't live in hollywood? Perhaps they'll commute from elsewhere? These ppl did go all the way to Africa to have the baby, based on this I'd say, they're going to actively attempt to minimize the camera factor.

The real FACT is, we (macrumors site members) don't know much of anything about the parenting skills of even 3% of the "celebrity" parents. We only know what gets reported, and that's almost always the worst of what is happening. The day is only 24 hrs long and if we were really informed about the life of the typical "celebrity" child, we'd have to stay up for a whole month just to watch 2 hrs worth of coverage for each of the famous kids living the L.A. area.

It could be an over-generous impulse but I'm inlcined to not predict the child will be screw-up fom day 1
 
I have a hard time believing the kid will not have a harder time remaining grounded for two reasons:

1. Lindsay Lohan
2. Paris Hilton

How their parents think their crazy antics are normal and okay is beyond me. Personally, I would have dragged Paris out of the limelight long ago and knocked some sense into her if I'd been her mother but her mother (and Lindsay's mother) just goes along with it. Those two examples (and I'm sure there are more, but those are the two that come to mind right away, are the ones that make me believe that celebrity children definitely have a harder time remaining grounded. Perhaps Angelina's United Nations work will help with that. Time will tell.
 
On the other hand, lots of children of celebrities are just fine - look at Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, for example; their kids seem OK. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn? Same thing.

Certainly many are messed up, but celebrity itself doesn't guarantee a screwed up kid. And, in the cases quoted above, those are celebrity children, as opposed to simply children of celebrities. And, of course, lots of celebrity children turn out OK too.

Of course, money and fame make it easier to get corrupted and easier for us to know about it, but it doesn't force it to happen.

You make some good points. A lot of it obviously depends on how set the celebrity parents are with making sure their children are raised well and have a good foundation in reality. I'm sure some of it has to do with how they were raised, or if they themselves have had to struggle during their lives. Still, I'd say it's harder for them to not get corrupted when all they ever know are nannies and the parents' credit cards. Like I said, time will tell. I have some hope for their baby girl just because of all the humanitarian work she's done in Africa. I think that will help them want to keep things in a good perspective.
