Actress Jaime King, 35, has chosen Taylor Swift, 25, as the godmother of her second child with husband Kyle Newman, reports People. King and Newman's first child, James Knight, 16 months, has famous godparents as well. Jessica Alba is his godmother, and Topher Grace is his godfather.
What are godparents supposed to do. I'm one and I have done anything. I suck at it. Great aunt on the other hand, very good.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the scene out of a bad horror flick.
ReplyDeleteSuch an awkward photo. This will be the most hipster baby ever!!! Expect to be getting lots of flannel shirts, high waisted bottoms, and groovy hats.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, congrats to them- it's been hard to hate Taylor.
Seriously, photos like these and the dads kissing the bellies keep promoting the idea that pregnant women don't mind people touching their bellies. Just because there's a baby in there doesn't mean the belly is community property.
ReplyDeleteThat said, mazel to the parents, even if I have no idea who you are. I don't know that announcing famous people as your baby's godparents is such a good idea...
@Sherry, godparent is an honorary title. In the Catholic tradition, a godparent would be the person responsible for the child should something happen to the parents (necessary back in the days when people didn't live very long), then it became the person responsible for the child's religious education should something happen to the parent. So if your godchild's parents pass away, you're supposed to make sure he/she goes to Sunday School. :)
I don't think the job has the meaning it used to.
ReplyDeleteThis Jaime isn't the one from My Name Is Earl, right?
I don't like those photos even when it's the baby daddy doing the caressing. That's something that should be private. I don't understand people who put this kind of stuff out on the internet, then expect to maintain some modicum of privacy. These just creep me out.
ReplyDeleteI see a LOTR moment.... precious, my precious...
ReplyDeleteRemember the South Park episode in which Christopher Reeve sucked the stem cells out of fetuses so he could walk? Taylor has the exact same look on her face in that photo that Christopher Reeve had in that episode.

DeleteThe pics are weird. I kind of think they are supposed to be or at least I hope so. I've been meaning to delete Jaime king of my insta because she's just so dumb. Also she's always posting pics of 20 yr old actresses or singers and acting like she's their best friend. It's strange. Shes like 35 and married with children
ReplyDeleteI saw this set of pictures yesterday on D-Listed...and they are beyond creepy.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a Rosemary's baby vibe off of that picture. Yeah I think that's for your private photo album, not for public consumption. It looks like showing off too. Look at MEEEE. look at what celebrity I'm friends with blah blah blah!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen a friend of mine was pregnant, she and her boyfriend and me and my (ex) husband went to the track. Apparently rubbing the belly of a pregnant woman is good luck (I'd never heard that but..). So every friggin person at the track is coming over and rubbing my girlfriend's belly. She was laid back about it but I freaked out. I can't imagine all these strangers touching your belly ESPECIALLY when you have your unborn baby in there. People need to respect boundaries for sure.
