My bump, my bump, my lovely baby bump

J. Lo, please admit that you are pregnant already. It has become irritating seeing photographs of you in non-binding, flowing shirts and dresses, with a humungous belly, coyly avoiding the fact that you are in fact "preggers."
Why not admit it? There is not a woman on planet Earth that has any doubt J. Lo is pregnant, and the fact that she's not admitting it, has women everywhere, scratching their heads. There's either some fear that after birth Marc Anthony will leave her too, or it's the best excuse ever to get fat. Anthony did leave his first wife after having two kids with her after three years of marriage, and then married J. Lo two years after that.
Hearing that Nicole Ritchie is pregnant is shocking, J. Lo, not so much. For Ritchie, most people are happy she's pregnant because it gives her frail 80 some odd pound figure, a reason to eat. When it comes to J. Lo's pregnancy, people would have been indifferent. It wasn't until she started answering "I'm happy" to every question about being pregnant that got people interested. Her pregnancy was confirmed by designer Roberto Cavalli, because he ran out of excuses as to why he needed more fabric than usual to make garments for J. Lo.
Maybe in some far away place, J. Lo thought that if she didn't admit it herself, the media would leave her alone. Well unfortunately for her news stations have been reduced to a very informative tabloid medium, which means that her pregnancy is on the CNN ticker. Is she or isn't she? Is that a baby bump? No. It just happens to be a growth on her stomach, where a baby might reside.
Over the past couple of years, there has been this increasing trend in needing to know every detail about the lives of celebrities. But shouldn't the cut off be children? The public may (or may not) care about what Angelina Jolie is wearing, but we are not as concerned as to what her one year old daughter is sporting.
Everyone has to remember the scandalous birth of Suri Cruise. When Tom and Katie hid Suri from the prying eyes of the media, people began to question whether or not Suri existed. It became this whole ordeal, where the public actually begged to see pictures of this baby. Tom Cruise is famous, and Katie Holmes was adored by Dawson's Creek fans. Their daughter Suri is not famous. She just so happens to be the most hyped baby in the world. When the public finally got their view of Suri, the criticism flowed out people's mouths like J. Lo's last dress. That's why they did not show their daughter to the public, because the children of celebrities are not celebrities, their parents are. They should not have to endure this parasitic relationship we have with celebrities.
So J. Lo, you wear you're flowing dresses, knocked-up glow, and bronzer. You tell those evil interviewers that you are happy. And Keep your child away from the gossip-mongering public, for as long as you can.
