Fame and Pregnancy

Periodically I scan the media for pregnancy-related news. It usually consists of a few new studies, old advice with a new take, and plenty of celebrity-scandal. Hollywood and everyone watching is so obsessed with celebrity pregnancy. I’m really glad I am not famous. Have you ever considered the freedom you have in being anonymous?

“Grease,” first a Broadway hit and then a movie in 1978 starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, has recently been resurrected and is enjoying even more popularity than before. DVDs of the film are being sold wearing little leather jackets, a great marketing ploy, for sure.

When they separated, Sandy believed she was moving back to her home in Australia and would never see Danny again. But then her family’s plans change, and she enrolls in high school in the states.
