Are Celebrity Babies An Addiction?
Once in a while, I like to break out of my journalistic routine on the Celebrity Baby Names Blog and peer at the outside world. Imagine my shock, this morning, during my semi-annual review of non-celebrity news, when I came across an authoritative-looking blog post claiming that “Celebrity Babies Are An Addiction.”
The author pokes fun at how people just have to know the intimate details of famous celebs’ day-to-day lives with their babies, such as where Gwyneth Paltrow buys her onesies (anyone know, by the way?); what brand of formula Suri Cruise chugs (Katie Holmes doesn’t breastfeed?), and what make of bassinette Britney Spears chose (I don’t know, but I’m sure she bought it at Petit Tresor).
Yet, even as she brands our national interest in celebrity babies as an addiction, the writer confesses that she too could not resist the lurid pages of the October, 2006 Vanity Fair, when Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and little Suri graced its pages.
I’ve got news for her. Following celebrity babies is not an addiction. It’s an obsession! Is there a difference? Sure there is! An obsession is much more fun! Just ask Calvin Klein.      ÂÂ
