Why give celebrity status to a multiple birth mom?

I can understand the awe and mystery of a naturally occuring set of sex- septuplets, but if they're test-tube babies what's the big deal?

It's like if you were a boob-guy. Why admire sacks of saline in a woman's chest?

    News celebrity is not the same as Entertainment Celebrity. No one is forcing you to watch. In fact, I stopped watching the news or reading the paper 10 years ago. I do much better without all that ridiculousness.

    First, I think your saline boobs and celebrity analogy is hysterical.

    Second, the fact that this woman is famous illustrates what celebrity means. People aren't celebrated based on greatness, but interest. And interest drives sales. Sales is at the core of celebrity. The more people who are interested, the greater potential for making a buck off of them and whatever it is they do, or have done.

    i dont know i guess its amazing to know there is a woman who held 6 babies in her stomach for 9 months. test tube or not...its amazing. and simply bc you are cold to the beauty of life doesnt mean you have to be so bothered by it. and your boob guy comparison is not even close to giving birth. so sorry...but good try.

    All we have to do is: Stop discussing her.

    As far as boobs go: I am a fan, but I do not discuss them. I just enjoy the scenery, [without gawking]
