The Hills Are Alive With Fertility

Right. So Jenn says we'll get more blog traffic if we cover some celebrity-related parenting news. So, okay. She found some news item on MTV about The Hills, a show I've never seen except for the occasional painful clip on The Soup.

Anyway, according to the journalistic efforts that is MTV News (the article is credited to "Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello" — "with reporting by"???), Stephanie Pratt (who?) says that somewhat-recent newlyweds and everlasting famewhores Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (who would be featured on my future blog about people I'd like to punch in the face) are considering spawning.

Makes you want to click that "Read more..." link, right?

So you did click that link, sucker! Now we can really dish! So...Steph is all, "Heidi is the one with the baby fever; Spencer is not," and MTV is all like, "Heidi may have caught the baby fever from hanging around with Stephanie and Spencer's nieces." OMG!

Eccch...I can't keep that up. Anyway, I found that last statement interesting because every time Jenn and I, as a childless couple, spent a weekend with my niece and nephew when they were toddler and infant, I left there thinking, "Being an uncle is fun...because I can leave."

I also enjoyed, if enjoyment comes with shedding a tear for the sake of humanity, and this statement by Heidi, according to StephPratt:

"I still want to get a house with a white picket fence. ... and then probably a dog, and then we'll move on to kids. And I want to take cooking lessons."

Here's a tip: Take those cooking lessons first, and when you're able to boil water without breaking anything or hurting yourself, then sign up for Lamaze.
