Leave it up to the media to continuously invade every one’s space. Is this what we really want to read in our pop culture highlights? RadarOnline Tuesday and Fox Sports report that the couple, Lamar Odom (of the Lakers) and wife of one year, Khloe Kardashian, are 2 months pregnant, yet, wanted to keep it a secret until revealing the news on her show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Number one, if they are, that’s great. But, number two, why is this news worthy? You wouldn’t believe the hits we’ve received on our site alone for the search terms “khloe kardashian pregnant.” What is the obsession with celebrities, reality TV junkies, and sports superstars that causes people to want to know this vital information before it is meant to be announced? Is it the rush of feeling like you’ve exposed some one’s most prized secret? The paparazzi feed into the must-know frenzy because the public demands it. Many couples wait to tell about a new pregnancy for health and privacy reasons. If you all remember the first announcement that there was a possible pregnancy, only to show Khloe saddened at the start of her cycle on an episode of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” just last season. Who are we to invade their space just because they are famous.
Not to mention the fact that when Lamar was asked about the pregnancy by ESPN, he claimed that he was unable to confirm either way, as this was the first he was hearing of a baby on the way. Seriously? ESPN told Lamar he was having a baby, not Khloe? I guess we will have to wait for confirmation one way or another before we believe the rumors. And isn’t it a little ironic that Khloe, the spokesperson for Kotex won’t even be using the products for the next 9+ months? Well unless you can’t the super-sized mommy pads after delivery.
