Another Child Star: Another Young Mom

I'm so sick and tired of all of these young former child stars turned hard partying starlets getting pregnant when they are in their early 20s. Even if they feel really old and mature because they were making millions at the age that we all were attempting to take our SATs it doesn't mean that they are ready to bring children into the world.

The latest victim to the "ya, kids will TOTALLY calm me down" curse is Charlotte Church. Remember that cute little Welsh girl who put out "Voice of an Angel." Everyone fawned over her and as she grew older she became Britain's version of Paris Hilton. Followed everywhere by the tabloids Charlotte also, after taking up heavy drinking and smoking, decided that she was going to have a pop career. Though she was a moderate success Charlotte took a break from singing to become a talk show host.

Charlotte has also been quite popular for his romantic escapades as well. After a few high profile relationships Charlotte began to date Gavin Henson, a popular professional Rugby player. After dating now for 2 years they have announced that they are having a baby together.

Charlotte is 21 and she and Gavin (or Gav as she calls him) are not married but they have come out saying that they are thrilled about their upcoming baby.

"For reasons of privacy, Charlotte has chosen not to comment on this matter, other than to confirm that she and her boyfriend, Gavin Henson, are delighted. In an ideal world, we would not have made this announcement so early in the pregnancy. However, due to recent speculation and persistent questions from the media about this most private of matters, Charlotte felt she had no choice other than to go public and she was keen to ensure that her fans had the opportunity to read the truth here first. Gav is the one, he is my fella and I want to have his children."

The reason that the media was speculating about her pregnancy was not due to a "bump watch" but actually because at her recent birthday party she didn't touch a drop of booze. Since she is quite the drinker this was such a shocking thing that the only obvious reason to her sobriety was pregnancy.
