Natalie Portman gets knocked up, engaged

[Sci]

We do know these people,

No, you don't. You know of one of them because her job is a film actor, and the other is someone who isn't even famous. But no one here knows them.

You're perpetuating the very thing you pretend to disapprove of.

Do tell.

I admit that I clicked on this thread with the intention of finger-wagging about useless celebrity gossip, but...

All the other boys laughed at little Ben when he started getting into ballet, but who's laughing now?

You win, Cap. You win.

 

[the G-man]

I give the union 3yrs tops before 'irreconcilable differences' set in. Any takers?

I'm always astonished when people think they know what's going on or going to happen in someone else's relationship. Would you like it if someone talked about your family that way?

This is Hollywood. I don't know why actors bother getting married at all. Maybe they like the publicity.

Not to mention there's something actually a little sad about a nearly thirty year old Harvard graduate who doesn't know enough to use birth control.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Well Padme and Anakin never heard of birth control either and they live in a society with freakin FTL spaceships, so I gotta give her a pass.

How very un-g-man of you to unilaterally rule out condom sabotage in order to produce this very result, a marriage, and lucrative divorce settlement.

I still can't believe there is a straight ballet dancer, or at least one who want want to bone a pile of... bones.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Heard about this on the news segment while driving around.
Guess all guys doing ballet really aren't gay after all. Stupid stereotype.

No I won't take that bet. It's always 3 years.

 

[Smellincoffee]

I sense a great disturbance in the force...as if millions of voices cried out in disappointment and were suddenly silenced.

I think it's funny how everyone assumes none of us here know any of these people. TrekBBS is a BIG board.

As to the thread topic, I wish Natalie and Ben -- and their baby -- the best. I understand the skepticism completely, but I'm a romantic. I hope in fifty years, they are all laughing at the jaded naysayers as they celebrate their golden anniversary with their undoubtedly gorgeous (by then very adult) child.

Do you know this person? Are you able to say with any evidence that the pregnancy is not intentional? Or are you just making an assumption?

^ Generic joke about Midichlorians goes here.

I really hope I am wrong, I hope they will be happy and that their baby doesn't get fucked up by this whole mess, but that would be incredibly rare and I don't see that happening here.

Keira Knightley and I have been role-playing. When she speaks with an American accent, we pretend she's Natalie Portman. I guess I'll have to keep pretending.

Keira Knightley >>>>> Ezri Dax >>>>>> Natalie Portman

In my experience, including approximately ten years as a family law attorney, whenever a couple gets engaged after or at approximately the same time as finding out the female is pregnant, the pregnancy was unplanned.

I'm sure there are exceptions but the likelihood is very rare.

 

[Agent Richard07]

I'm also thinking of her upcoming movie, Friends With Benefits. The pregnancy is very timely for the movie's subject matter.

I meant No Strings Attached. I got those two movies mixed up.

I doubt you'll be the last, either.

In other words, you don't know these people and you're making an assumption based upon no evidence.

I must say I love the "Ignore" feature, however can we make it easier?
