Suri’s Fancy Feet!

---

Ok! Magazine is reporting that Miss Suri Cruise will be the youngest client that Christian Louboutin has ever custom made shoes for.

The fashion house will, for $2,500, create a mold of your foot to hand-craft footwear to your exact specifications and for an additional charge of $500 to $5,000, will also create a pair of shoes for you from that mold.

Katie has apparently had a mold made for her feet and now so has Suri.

Could you imagine spend upwards of $5,000 on a pair of shoes for a child that will only wear them for 2-4 months? Me neither…

Christina Bares Her Bump in Marie Claire

---

Mom to be Christina Aguilera shows off her flawless bump in Marie Claire.

The “Sexy Mama” shoot, featured in the January 2008 issue of Marie Claire, reveals that the baby was an unexpected surprise for the singer and husband Jordan Bratman.

The couple was planning on starting their family after her tour, but discovered she was pregnant when she still had a month left on tour. In order to take extra care of the baby she wore a heart monitor on stage during her performances.

I was paranoid,” she reportedly admitted.

“There are so many things that could go wrong—somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.

“I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back.”

Aguilera also reportedly spoke on the fact that her pregnancy was announced to the world by the less-than-discreet Paris Hilton.

“Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.”

She looks fabulous!! SOURCE

YouTube Bans Breast-feeding Video

---

It seems to be a growing movement to label breast feeding videos or photos as inappropriate.

Many high profile websites such as MySpace and Facebook have already started to ban nursing images, according to The League of Maternal Justice.

The League was upset when YouTube banned their clip, The Great Breast Fest Montage, which was viewed at least 68,000 times before disappearing.

“…I am surprised that YouTube continues to allow explicit videos of women stripping, physically hurting themselves, and starving themselves, all of which are easy to find using simple search terms,” League co-founder Kristen Chase said in a statement on group’s website.

The league asked why YouTube didn’t just flag the video as explicit. YouTube stated is doesn’t comment on specific videos, but offered an explanation.

“It is our community that polices the site and flags content they find inappropriate. Once it is flagged, YouTube promptly reviews the content and removes it from the system if it is in violation of our Community Guidelines,” YouTube said in a statement sent to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

In an attempt to deal with any copyright issues the League of Maternal Justice is reworking the video and plans to resubmit its new version to YouTube.

I didn’t find the video offensive, but you can see for yourself here.

We have been over this subject no less than a thousand times. Some people just don’t get breastfeeding. They can’t get past the fact that a breast isn’t a sexual thing when a baby is hungry. These people should just keep that fact to themselves and work their own issues out privately.
