Isn't That Convenient?

I almost felt like The Church Lady when I wrote that headline. Dana Carvey just channeled right through my body and came out the other end looking like Garth. Last night I noticed that Kourtney Kardashian had got pregnant. Interesting? Sure. Earth shattering? Nope. You would have thought the world had stopped spinning because so many blogs and tabloids wrote about it. She was on The Today Show this morning for goodness sake. She is the sister of someone who got famous for having sex with someone who was the brother of someone famous. Anyway, I wasn't going to bother writing about it. Then I saw when she was due.

Yes, when I saw that she was due in December I started using my fingers and toes and came to the conclusion that she is a little over five months pregnant. Interesting side note before I get to my main point of contention. She broke up with the baby's father in February. Umm, it must have been during the breakup sex that she got pregnant. But of course now that she is pregnant they couldn't be happier. Well, they could. I mean if she had her own reality show and didn't have to share it with her sisters. Any of them.

So, if she is due in December that means she is about five months pregnant or maybe six? Are we agreed on that? Do we also agree that most people tell their friends and family after three months? Four? Five? See where I am going here? Everyone knew except for the general public.

Now, I want you to take the time today to read all the tabloid reports of her pregnancy. Not the blogs, but the People and Us and OK! Magazines of the world. I bet they all have a quote that looks very similar to this one from US. "Kourtney's new reality show, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, premieres Sunday."

Wow, isn't that the most convenient thing in the world. How much do you want to bet that if they didn't have a show premiering on Sunday that they would have announced this several months ago? How much would you like to wager that she and the baby daddy break up for good by the time the baby is a year old or they get 40 episodes of a reality show under their belt? Isn't it good to know that people are not just exploiting their kids after they are born but now are willing to do it even before they are born? I can't wait until some reality star is willing to get pregnant as we watch their show. Go ahead and exploit them right from the moment of conception.
