Meltdown
Meltdown (Noun) Describes what happens when a person freaks out, cracks, loses control of
themselves. Life -- reality at large -- becomes overwhelming. They just
can't deal with it all. The person may act out, withdraw, become
emotional, run.Moving on to my fourth day without my writing partner, I can safely say that I now hate celebrity gossip. I feel like Paris Hilton on her 23rd dong of the night -- I just can't swallow anymore. I need to fucking spit.
All of which brings me to Victor Garber, who equivocated last night on the issue of Jennifer Garner's pregnancy. In response to whether Garner was expecting another child, Garber said, "Yes she is." But then he backtracked:
"I haven't confirmed that at all, no," Garber said tonight at an ABC event. "I know they want to have another child and hopefully that's true, but I don't know that."
"No, I know that they are hoping to be," the Eli Stone star added. "I just don't know that it's for sure. It's a very...personal thing." (Source)
Here's my question -- and pardon me if I'm trampling on your goddamn need for celebrity minutia -- but who the fuck cares what Victor Garber has to say about the contents of Jennifer Garner's womb? What the fuck does he know? He played her Dad on a television show. One that ended it's run a couple of years ago. I hate to burst your fucking bubble, people -- but he's not her real father.
But more than that, who the fuck cares if she's pregnant? You know, there's a tradition in which you wait three months before you announce your pregnancy -- you don't even tell your close friends and family, just in case something goes wrong and then you have to live with miscarraige sympathy (see, Lily Allen). Nobody wants to go through that, especially someone who is already in the public eye every goddamn day of their lives.
Please come back later today, as I continue by Network style meltdown!
Isn't Victor Garber meant to be a good friend of the couple anyway? He married them!
And the fact that I know this indicates that I am one of these people that knows much more about celebrity lives than I should.
Hold me.
Thank you! I remember being just horrified when Lily Allen announced her pregnancy so early, and when she miscarried, I couldn't help but think, "Didn't someone tell her she should wait three months?" I also have a friend who excitedly announced her pregnancy to me after about a month, and then had to tell me a few weeks later that it "just didn't take." It's no one's business until the mother is ready to say so, and certainly not before month three is over.
