i agree basically with everyone who responded from the “who cares” to the “40+yrs” and what happened to getting “married” but Courtney, JLO got pregnant by a man who was still married to his wife (before JLO) so she isn’t news worthy either.

Janet is too old to start a family now. Just add 20 years to her age, and you will see how old she will be when they graduate from high school and go to college. You see what happened to Sarah Palin having a baby at 44. Her son has Down’s Syndrome. A medical report last month centered on women finishing child birth by the age of 35. After that age for men, the sperm becomes bad. Halle Berry also just had a baby, and she was on the Oprah show beaming with joy. I think we should go back to the statement that our clocks are winding down at 35.Men and women!!

More than likely its the other way around; after all, she is older than he is and was on TV before he was even thinking of his first single, and was making hit albums when he was at his high school prom!

Delm: Trig is not Sarah Palin’s baby, its Bristol’s. She was mysteriously taken out of school for 4-5 months during the last month of her mother’s supposed “pregnancy”. If you compare pictures from the supposed time Sarah Palin was 7 months pregnant and when she was really pregnant with one of her other children, it’s totally and clearly different. Just wanted to set the record straight

But about Janet Jackson, she’s a good artist and has had some awesome hits, but that’s all. I’d be scared for Janet to have kids with JD because they’re children would end up pretty messed up. They don’t believe in marriage, they want to have children out of wedlock, and they she is too old. Her clock is nearly up and kids will soon be a thought of the past. They just need to chill out with all that reproduction talk. JD if you wanted some babies, you should have had more when you were with a younger woman. But this story is pretty pointless. People aren’t as obsessed with celebs as the media would like to think, they just are constantly throwing all this stuff in our faces!
