Maggie Gyllenhaal Feeds Child in Public Again

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 22:02:00 GMT

I know everyone seemed to get all worked up about Maggie Gyllenhaal nursing her kid in public. Well, the paparazzi caught her feeding her kid again in public, but this time she used a spoon.

You guys aren't going to freak out about this one are you? Ramona is eight months old now. She can eat solids.

I'd just like to say this to Maggie - You look great. You look happy. No matter how you are feeding your daughter I love the fact that it is you feeding her and not some nanny.

Nicole Kidman Babywatch on High Alert

Karen Murphy — Sun, 20 May 2007 15:44:00 GMT

I'm pretty sure this is why I'm not a celebrity. Okay, one reason of many. Talent, perhaps. But I digress. Here's an article discussing the remote possibility that Nicole Kidman may be pregnant, comparing this time to all the previous times the media thought she might be pregnant.

Maybe she ate a sandwich that day, who knows?

But that much attention focused on my midsection would certainly be grounds for anorexic nirvana. I don't know how celebrities do it, funnelling out all the tripe that is written about them. Eat a little that week, or whip out a boob for your kid, and suddenly you're front page tabloid news.

And yes, the irony that I am here writing about the debate as to whether skinny Nicole relaxed her stomach muscles for the split second that the camera went off, is 3 months pregnant and waiting for the "right" moment to announce it to the highest bidder, or just happened to eat that day, is not lost on me.

Bloggers Whip 'Em Out in Support of Maggie Gyllenhaal

Alisyn — Thu, 10 May 2007 13:04:00 GMT

Suck it, haters!

In response to the "that's gross!" and "cover up!" shit-talkers who swarmed StrollerDerby yesterday to comment on Sarah's post about Maggie Gyllenhaal nursing in public, bloggers are putting their best breasts forward in solidarity with the actress, and nursing mamas everywhere.

A virtual nurse-in! God, I love the internet.

The Queen of Spain is, like many of us, sick and tired of the breastfeeding-in-public debate. She says, "It’s just a boob... JUST A BOOB. I’ve written about this issue so many times now... I do not know what else to say to all you asshats that seem to think my tit exposed to feed my child is baaaaaaaaaaad. You are also forcing me to resort to drastic measures."

Karl followed suit (man-boob solidarity, is, indeed, needed and appreciated), as did Violet, Summer, Keri, and others. If I had a photo of myself nursing (my toddler! gasp!), I'd post it, but I can't find one that shows enough boob.

I'm not interested in opening up a new debate on public breastfeeding here, I think we had enough of that yesterday. I'm just happy to see so many people storming the blogosphere in support of it. So cool. Breast feeders of the world, unite!

Maggie Gyllenhaal Nurses in Public

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah — Mon, 07 May 2007 18:02:00 GMT

The paparazzi has scored parenting gold. They took pictures of Maggie Gyllenhaal (I have to look up her last name every single time I type it) nursing her baby in public. I suppose a lot of your reaction is going to be based in how you feel about public breastfeeding. I am all for it. I don't think I ever nursed in public, but it was mostly because I had twins and I was too chicken shit to take them anywhere public for very long when they were young.

Celebrity Baby Blog is reporting that most of the feedback they have been hearing about Gyllenhaal nursing her daughter in public has been positive. Either they have a very specific audience, or people are getting more tolerant in general. Don't lynch me, but it also helps that breastfeeding is very in style right now. I know, I know, breast is best, but it wasn't always so acceptable. I know when my Mom was nursing us it wasn't nearly as common.

Here is the real question. How uncool is it of the paparazzi to take a picture of Maggie's exposed boob? Or is that okay because she was in public and she is a public figure? I don't know.

Is it rude that I am posting it here or is it beautiful and natural?

Mama Maggie Gyllenhaal Hates Me Buying US Magazine (and Rightly So)

Alisyn — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 15:19:00 GMT

Actress and new mom Maggie Gyllenhaal, in her first interview since the birth of her daughter Ramona, 3 months, says that celebrity baby culture is hurting her family.

Maggie told the L.A. Times that paparazzi lurk outside the NYC apartment she shares with Ramona and boyfriend Peter Sarsgaard - and are so desperate for their picture, that they have gone so far as to call the fire department with a fake fire report, forcing them evacuate their home. Twice.

"I don't care at all if they take pictures of me anymore, but I do not want them to come in droves and photograph my daughter," Maggie went on to say. "I don't think that most people know what goes into those photographs that are in those magazines."

It's so true. Celebrity baby culture is seriously out of hand. Every time I check in at Celebrity Baby Blog or Just Jared, I feel ashamed of myself. I know that Brangelina and kids are hounded by the press, to the point where they can't even think of taking their kids to the park. I know that the first picture of Jayden Federline will probably sell for well over $75,000 - and that at this very moment, sleazy, morally challenged "stalkerazzi" are scheming to get it. I know that pregnant celebrities have inexplicably become the new pin-up girls - and I try to talk myself out of buying the new US Magazine every week. I try to put myself in Julia Roberts' position: just a mom, like any of us, in her second pregnancy, getting over the hump and into the second trimester, tired and puffy and HEY! Some dude just hopped out of my trash can and flashed a bulb in my face and he gonna get paid some serious cash for nearly scaring the bejeezus out of me and my fetus! And dammit, I forgot to brush my teeth again, and I've got bedhead, and all I'm trying to do is get a bagel. Jesus! But I buy the magazine anyway.

I know I'm not the only one - but why? What is it about expectant celebrities and celebrity offspring that are so fascinating?
