The Alec Baldwin incident has got everyone chirpin’ about parenting. I came across a funny list at MSNBC today called 10 Reasons Celebrities Shouldn’t Have Kids. The list is created by Helen A.S. Popkin, I have provided the list but you can read the further commentary here: For kicks I have added 5 of my own reasons.
1 Innate inability to distinguish between healthy parent-child communication and “Glengarry Glen Ross.”
2 Amicable divorces even creepier than those that go DEFCON 1.
3 Inability to choose appropriate stepparents
4 Insistence on wrecking soccer games for everyone.
5 Don’t allow biological children nearly as much press as those Third World kids Mommy and Daddy keep adopting.
6 Can’t find child-size Louis Vuitton dog carriers
7 Safety schmafety!
8 The whole naming thing.
9 Even more reality shows
10 No wire hangers. Ever.

1 Having a child may ruin your famous vagina.
2 Woody Allen
3 You will ruin Star Wars 1, 2 and 3 by pandering to the desires of your children.
4 They have a high percentage chance of growing up to be bratty douche bags.
5 Fame will take the luxury of privacy out of your child’s life forever. It may be a blessing for you; but to your child it may be damnation.
International friends let us see your lists. Comment on why or why not celebrities should have kids. It will be a delightful excercise for you (as you are fucking the dog at your job).
