Gwyneth Paltrow, pregnant and drinking
Gwyneth Paltrow was visibly annoyed at the stares and pointing when she had dinner with hubby Chris Martin on Tuesday at lower East Side sushi bar Cube 63. "People were looking and waving, and she just tried to melt further into the corner," according to one witness. Diners observed Martin pick up several bottles of Guinness at a nearby deli, and they were surprised when Paltrow, who is five months pregnant with the couple's second child, drank one herself.
Now if there's one thing I know, it's that babies need tons and tons of booze. Or maybe milk. I can't really remember which. This may be why I flunked out of vet school. Seriously, those were some of the ugliest babies I've ever seen.

Let's jump-start that kicking her in the stomach convo again! Even if it has eyes on its temples from fetal alcohol syndrome, she could never produce a second baby as ugly as Apple.

Ooooh - double whammy, drinking & eating sushi while pregnant! Both considered a no-no!
Actually, many doctors say the (very) occasional glass of wine or occasional beer won't hurt, I'm just amazed that someone so in the public eye would actually dare to do it in front of a crowd of people!

f@ck peeps. why can't celebs do what they want to do in public? being pregnant and drinking a beer every now and then is not bad...it actually has some healthy qualities to it.

Shes only 5 months prego?
She is huge!
Is she pregnant with an entire fruit basket?
Imagine her @ 9 months.
Someone please punch her.

Oh geez, get a grip people. Guinness (and small amounts of other beers as well) is often recommended by doctors to help settle the stomach when pregnant. Now they don't tell ya to go get trashed, just have one glass or half a glass (or excuse me, "pint"). For some reason, the heaviness of the drink helps to stave off nausea. My mom did it (although she drank Miller, only because she wasn't a drinker and Guinness was too heavy for her!), several aunts & cousins have done it, and we all turned out A-OK. And the last time a cousin of mine was advised to have some Guinness was just a couple of years ago.
NOTE: this is not to say that it's okay to drink LOTS of alcohol when pregnant. In small amounts, and on occasion, it can be helpful. In large amounts all the time, it can be fatal or debilitating to the baby. But one Guinness here and there isn't going to do long-term damage and it'll help a nauseous mom keep some food down, hence nourishing her child-to-be.

I don't know what's worse to imagine: her drinking while pregnant or her naming her kids mortimer.
Either way, it's clearly child abuse.

jesus, if i had people pointing, staring and waving at me while i was hugely pregnant and eating, i'd have a drink too. and she's more like 7 or 8 months preggers, which means it really is okay to have a drink. and sushi can be okay depending on what you choose and especially if you ate it before getting knocked up.
why the hell am i defending her? drag her through the streets!

Gee, that self rightious cow spent years going on and on about how she follows a macrobiotic diet because other foods are unhealthy and she only eats organic, blah blah blah. Well I guess, it's only your health you give a crap about. Oh, and Gwyneth, a little make-up couldn't hurt.

I used to like Gwyneth until she insisted on snobbishly referred to Anthony Hopkins as "Antony" like a hundred times at the Golden Globes. I was like, wait is that how we are supposed to be pronouncing his name, or is this how British people do it, or what? Later on he was asked and he said that his name is really pronounced "Anthony."

guinness is relatively low in alcohol and has a good amount of iron in it, which is good for preggers bitches. in fact, they tell women in england that they can/should have 1 guinness a day when they are knocked up. all of this, however, does not change the fact that shes an idiot. ps: id toss it in her if she wasnt so bloated from having that parasite syphoning off her guinness intake.

I personally don't care if she drinks a cup full of diesel and then smokes an 8-ball of the purest crack on the planet. She can jump on a broken-glass covered trampoline and bare knuckle fight a stomach-kicking gorilla. I don't care if she bobsleds down a mountain on her fat pregnant belly- nothing she does now will ever hurt the baby as much as being raised by those two jackasses. On top of having those two chuckleheads for parents and a sister maned Apple, his name will be Mortimer. Because of his name alone, he can forget about ever doing anything else in life but being an old Jewish accountant. Day 3 of kindergarten for Morty will be like this:
"Hey Billy, let's play cowboys and Indians!"
"OK Johnny, sounds great!"
Then Mortimer asks "Can I play?"
And the boys say, "Fuck off you old Jewish Accountant."

It's so European to drink alcohol and eat raw fish while pregnant, foolish Americans.

Give the girl a break. You can have an occasional glass of wine, or beer while pregnant. It's actually better to do it later in the pregnancy, and she is due in the next month or two. Our parents (okay, anyone born in 60s or 70s) usually smoked AND drank during their entire pregnancies. Not only did they smoke in their hospital beds while they held us, the doctor would come in with chart in one hand, and a Camel in the other. It wasn't uncommon for ashtrays to be bedside back then. AND WE ALL TURNED OUT OKAY..LAY OFF GWYNYTH ALREADY.
24. Posted by Libraesque on March 30, 2006 12:00 PM
I agree with #7. She's definitely out of the danger zone at 5 mos., and if you think about it, back in the old days people drank and smoked cigs in moderation while pregnant, it's not dangerous. That Apple is one FUUUUUGLY kid, damn!!!
25. Posted by Celetina on March 30, 2006 12:11 PM
The alcohol is one thing, but sushi? No matter how well-prepared it is, there are so many toxins in raw fish that no one without a developed immune system (i.e.: a fetus) should be eating it.
Then again, maybe she thinks birth defects are cute. Maybe she just doesn't give a damn. I can't pretend to understand the mind of a woman who'd name her kid "Apple".
26. Posted by edb87 on March 30, 2006 12:15 PM
OK, when you name your kids Mortimer and Apple, you seriously need to be removed from the gene pool.
It's all an attempt to stay in the public eye. Like Paris Hilton and...well, anything she does.

I would find it annoying if people were pointing at me because I was eating sushi and pregnant. Also, Guiness has a lot of iron and vitamins, it's ok to have it when your pregnant, just don't make it a habit or anything.
31. Posted by Sparks on March 30, 2006 12:40 PM
First of all, she's not 5 months pregnant - the baby is due in May, so try and count ;)
Furthermore, there's nothing wrong about drinking one bottle of beer when you're pregnant. It's total nonsense that you can't drink ANY alcohol or coffee when you're pregnant. It's true that it's not the healthiest thing to do, but your baby definitely won't turn ugly just because one tiny bottle of beer!
And whoever says that Apple is an ugly baby, should shut the fuck up and look at their own baby photos!!

Dear Gwinnie,
There's absolutely nothing wrong with drinking while pregnant. Nor is there anything wrong with taking your SAG card, a Coldplay CD, and a half gallon of rat poison, blending it in a food processor, and funneling it into your ear canal. It promotes healthy lactation and is chock-full of iron.

You're all a bunch of dumbasses! It's perfectly fine to have a drink every now and then when pregnant. It's not like she's shooting heroin for Christ's sake. As for the sushi, what do you think Japanese women eat when pregnant? As for her large belly, if any of you have had more than one baby, you know that you get bigger faster with each pregnancy.

I'd be more concerned with the sashimi, and depending on if she got sushi with even sushi grade fish than I would If she was having a beer. Shellfish/raw fish is a helluva lot more chancy than a few swigs of beer or wine. I doubt she's a regular drinker, and yeah, it's better not to have any, but a little won't hurt....I was told 2 different docs.
45. Posted by Miss_Marple on March 30, 2006 03:25 PM
I am concerned that she'll pass her anxiety on to her next baby, creating another thumb-sucker. Traits like that can be passed on... It's along the same lines as, if your parents are depressed then you will most likely be depressed. Depressed people have a certain way of being. Children learn by modeling, blah, blah... You know the story.

Actually-its not as bad as it sounds!
in the first few weeks of pregnancy is the worst time to drink alcohol because its a really vital delicate stage of formation but ive heard doctors saying that a unit ot two of alcohol isnt that bad. PLUS guinness is well known to contain lots of iron. Ive even heard of it being given to anaemic pregnant women to help with iron levels. hence the whole 'guinness is good for you' slogan. its also often given after donating blood for the same reasons. im of course not condoning drinking during pregnancy but people should know these facts before bashing her mother skills. anyway the womens a well known health freak i dont think she'd purposefully endanger her unborn baby especially for the sake of a pint of guinness-the stuff is disgusting, and im irish!!

#17 Far be it from me to defend Gwyneth, but that pronunciation of Anthony isn't pretentious. As far as I know, it's the standard pronunciation in most English-speaking countries and it's the one I've always used.
Actually, I thought that's how AH pronounced his name. He's certainly been interviewed by people calling him Anthony with a silent 'h'. Perhaps he uses both.

HEY ASSHATS commenting on the sushi thing, did it say she was eating sushi??? NO it said she was at a sushi bar, if I'm not mistaken this dumb bitch is a vegan and adheres to a macrobiotic diet which you're only supposed to follow if you have certain cancers, so she's a stupid twat for more reasons than one, and the only thing she's done in the past 10 years that hasn't annoyed me is drink beer while pregnant, I may have to change my opinion of her now and say she's cool

Dorks, I can't believe you MORONS don't know that it's perfectly healthy to drink beer and wine while you're pregnant. It's also perfectly healthy to shoot smack with used needles you find in alleys behind strip bars, and snort blow off the seats of dirty truckstop toilets when you're pregnant. It's good for the baby. Gives the ol' immune system a jump start.

Everything I have ever read about alcohol and pregnancy is that they are not sure about what amount is safe so it is better not to take the risk. What is the point in having one drink anyway, and how do all of you defenders of Gwyn know how many drinks she had? I don't really care if her kid has FAS its the nanny stuck with it anyway.

People, people, obviously the gist of this entry is all about the first two sentences:
"Gwyneth Paltrow was visibly annoyed at the stares and pointing when she had dinner with hubby Chris Martin on Tuesday at lower East Side sushi bar Cube 63. "People were looking and waving, and she just tried to melt further into the corner," according to one witness."
Clearly those people were pointing and saying, "Look, she's visibly annoyed."
But Gwyneth just didn't understand that you can't melt into the corner when you are PREGNANT AND FAT, just like she doesn't understand that you can't name your kids Apple and Mortimer.

This week's Star magazine says Apple is going to have a sister, so you can stop with the Mortimer comments ;). It will be interesting to see what she names her. It will either be a take-this-mutthafuckas Apple-ish name, or a we-screwed-up-bigtime-with-APPLE normal name.
As for the beer, I'm 8 weeks along myself, and I quite frankly, I can't wait till my 2nd trimester to go to some bar with the hubby and order a pint, and if anyone stares or comments, I'll tell them my doctor recommended it for the iron and vitamins, so shove it.

I think some of you guys might be American which is why you're getting a bit fired up about the drinking thing, I know you come down pretty hard on how drinking. In Europe it's seen as perfectly fine to have a glass of wine with dinner, Guiness in particular is stacked with iron so it's actually really good for the child. Some doctors would even suggest this or red meat if your iron is low. I think that Gwen is a veggie so guiness it is!

Apple is a cute kid. It's not her fault she has a dim Mommy. As for the drinking, kicking back an "occasional" beer will probably not hurt fruitlet# 2 but even regular moderate drinking could pose risks throughout a pregnancy.

Come now my friends, Mortimer the old Jewish accountant will probably benefit from a slug or two of Guinness. Undoubtedly he's swinging drunkenly off the ol' umbilical cord praising the Lord that his mother has laid off the macrobiotic pumpkin seeds for an evening. Poor child probably needs the iron. Go Gwynnie!

Guinness is full of iron and they use to give it to women who just gave birth while still in the hospital in the UK. I see nothing wrong with her having one before the birth. She's a star - she's superhuman anyway, right?

#11 the headphones are actually so she doesn't have to listen to her father's lame-ass band playing its crappy music. No kidding, it was taken at the Live 8 concert while Coldplay was playing.
Having Chris Martin for a father is far worse than being named Apple. Can you imagine -- what if he sings around the house all day? I bet she wears those headphones 24/7.

She should name the fetal alcohol syndrome victim "Antony" to continue to annoy the world.

Hey #65 (and 66 and 67)
In NJ, it's not pronounced Anthony OR Antony.
It's Ant'ny, for fuck's sake.
You must live in Western Jersey (read: Pennsylnowhere) and nowhere near Sopranoland.

I was actually reading articles about drinking during pregnancy yesterday, as a friend who's a huge wine fan just found out she's pregnant. The USA, it turns out, is about the only country in the Western World that has such a black or white view on drinking during pregnancy. Most everyone agrees that you shouldn't drink in the first trimester, but most doctors in the rest of the world (and a bunch in the USA) say that a beer or glass of wine from time to time in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters isn't harmful. As long as you don't have more than 1 serving a day, you should be fine, it seems. In fact-there are a number of ob-gyns who recommend a glass of red wine, port, or heavier beer, to prevent nausea and also false labor pains.
Leave it to the country founded by the puritans to start pointing fingers and shouting 'witch' and whatnot.
I would definitely be more concerned if she were eating raw fish, but just because she's in a sushi bar, doesn't mean she's partaking. At least she's not spending all her time inhaling second-hand smoke and eating Cheetos like some OTHER celeb moms!

The key word is moderation. Hopefully, it's just a 1 beer from time to time case and not a situation of semi-regular to regular drinking. Even the Public Health Agency of Canada has weighed in on this:
How much drinking causes FASD?
Alcohol may cause brain and nervous system damage in the developing baby. There is no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. There may be no safe time to drink alcohol during pregnancy.
We know that a baby's brain is very sensitive to alcohol while it is developing, but we don't know how much alcohol it takes to do this damage. Research shows that children born to mothers who drank as little as 1 drink per day during pregnancy may have behaviour and learning problems. Binge drinking - or drinking a large amount of alcohol in a short amount of time - is especially bad for the developing baby.
Stopping or cutting down drinking alcohol while pregnant will help ensure a healthy baby. No alcohol is the best (and the safest!) choice for having a healthy baby.

I'm American, and I don't think that a woman should be drinking during pregnancy especially early on. But my thought is, I bet that a beer during her third tri-mester is less dangerous than getting put under in the hospital for a Cesarean section. Just a thought. That said, I can't believe that Paltrow married somebody with less of a sense of humor than she has. Honestly, has her husband ever smiled? The guy looks like one of those mole rats that squints if it ever sees sunlight.

Whiners, you must shut up! That is an ugly fucking baby and you know it, she looks just like her pasty father, my eyes bleed when I see pictures of her. Why is everyone making such a big deal about a beer when Britney is dancing all night in Vegas throwing back half a dozen cosmos when she's three months along?????

#85, if you must know, I live Northern Central NJ. I take offense to being labeled Western NJ.
And if you are pronouncing it Ant'ny, I am going to guess you live in Seaside or Belmar?

princess373:
No studies IN THE US have been done because the medical establishment is so paternalistic it can't trust women to make educated decisions for themselves.
Plenty of students have been done in other countries and having a glass of wine or a pint of beer while pregnant is FINE--and in some cases even recommended.
Moderate drinkers showed NO incidence of FAS. And with excessive drinkers who continued drinking during pregnancy, the results are complicated by the fact that these tend to engage in other irresponsible and damaging behaviors (like chain smoking during pregnancy, doing other drugs).
As far as the sushi issue, if it is high-quality, she would be fine. In a good NY restaurant, eating sushi while pregnant is not a huge issue.
Personally, I do not drink while pregnant and I am a vegeterian (and by the way I love eating avacado sushi).
I could care less about HER, but it pisses me off that people think that because you are pregnant, you are subject to all of their unsubstantiated medical advice.

Listen. We all know that 'regular' rules for 'regular' people do not apply to Gwyneth. She lives in la la land. Where the Americans are dumb and the British are dirty (depending on which side of the pond she's on).
She's a nut. But she's a better, more intelligent, more articulate, more cultured, more aware nut that everyone else in the world who isn't in her nutty little circle.
What did you expect?

She should continue this maybe this it might work...considering her ugly gentics. Maybe she can fuck her body up and make a mircale happen.

well that explains how she came up w those baby names...do you think she kicked back a few w julia roberts during HER pregnancy? What the hell is wrong w people?

BIG DEAL. Children born with fetal alcohol syndrome are children of chronic ALCOHOLICS, people who drink all day long every day, not occasional drinkers or even someone who has one drink.

She's full of it and does look like she's ready to pop. She'll probably name the baby Lochness or something at this rate.

#88..."my thought is, I bet that a beer during her third tri-mester is less dangerous than getting put under in the hospital for a Cesarean section. Just a thought"
Um, you don't get put under for a c-section. So she's in no danger there.
Personally, I don't think Apple is ugly and I like Coldplay so I've got nothing.

I'm not gonna jump on the "Guinness is good for you while you're pregnant" banwagon just yet. The medical community is ALWAYS saying that stuff is good for you (and even forcing it down your throat) only to find out years later that it is actually harmful. You can't trust everything they say all the time. You have to use discretion.
101. Posted by evelyn on April 2, 2006 07:09 PM
actually, i think that eating raw fish is way funnier than the fact that she was drinking a beer.
i mean, after all, wouldn't it be hilarious if she developed tape worm and it ate the baby in the womb?

A primer: Marc Antony (no H) - hunky Roman who once humped Cleo(patra). Marc AntHony -runty 'Rican who now humps J-Lo.
As to Gwynnie boozin' - I'd drink, too, if I were popping out the second puppy of a guy who sings shitty ethereal same-sounding pop songs in too-breathy a manner and puts different-colored tape on his fingers for God Knows What Reason.

#99, you are correct, technically you don't get put under, but you are full of anestisia, and a large gaping hole is cut into mother. By less dangerous, I meant to the baby. I.E. one beer is going to be less dangerous than what she is given before the Cesarian.

Gwyneth's ugly, her baby's ugly, Lindsay Lohan's ugly, I'm ugly, and you're ugly.
The only beautiful person left on Earth is Ray Nagin. Let's all line up to suck the balls of the Mayor of Chocolate City.
What this has to do with Guinness and pregnant bitches, I don't know. Make it a fun game and see if you can find the connection yourself.

Oh I'm sure the baby and maybe you are ugly but I don't know about the rest.

One arbitrary beer probably won't hurt but we really don't know her drinking habits. She was spotted the day after the first story drinking 2-3 glasses of wine.

Pregnant women are ugly and repulsive in general, but Gwen really takes the cake. Apple will grow up to be just as homely and boring. I feel sorry for poor Chris having to watch her give birth outta her stretched out vag a 2nd time. Ughhh. Doesn't look like she takes regular showers either. Doc, make sure to wear a mask.
God she is hideous.
