Knocked Up!
Posted by Bossip Staff
The rumors have been confirmed. Jamecia Bennett, American Idol’s Paris Bennett’s mom, brags about how happy she is to become a grandmother.
“American Idol” 2006 contestant Princess P is becoming a mommy. Paris Bennett is expecting a baby girl in October and will be 20 when mommyhood arrives.”This makes five generations,” an overjoyed Jamecia Bennett [said]. Jamecia, who like her daughter and mother is a singer, is absolutely over the moon about being a first-time grandmother.
“I’m proud of how she did it. I was 16 when I got pregnant,” said Jamecia.
Who’s the daddy? “He chooses not to be in the public eye,” said Jamecia. “I respect that.” What does he do for a living? “I can’t tell,” she said.
“She has a ring,” said Jamecia, who’s hopeful that she’ll be planning a wedding for Paris.
The planning for an August baby shower is already underway. A few celebrities may fly into town for the show, including Queen Latifah. Latifah has made it clear that she plans to spoil this baby with gifts and that she won’t be stopped. You’re the princess but I’m the queen, Jamecia said Latifah told Paris.
How sweet. We’re absolutely positive that Big ‘Tifah will make a wonderful Uncle Auntie to her child. Best of luck to ‘em.

Use a Condom dammit!!!!
Why are the celebrationg teen pregnancy? Yes. she’s 19 but only out of highschool. I don’t think they should send her to a convent but a celebration might be a stretch. “She has a ring”…but no marriage…
Congrats …i guess
*they*
Is Paris Bennet’s mom proud that she waited ’til the ripe ol’ age of 20 to get pregnant? Not clear…
it’s different when your rich and pregnant as a teenager..you don’t have much hardships..teen pregnancy is too common this day & age..if you are going to have sex w/o a condom there is such a thing called the morning after pill..damn we have sooooo many options and people still droppin kids fresh after prom
when you’re* rich
I am NOT understanding this…”Proud of how she did it” WTF? how she was *****ing and got preggo….what’s there to be proud of? I really don’t want to bash her but i feel that something is terribly missing from this picture.
this should have been posted under “Jesus Take The Wheel”
yes Aunt Viv, Jamecia sure is proud because she was 16 when she had Paris!.. lol
Congratulations Paris! It may not have happened when/how you wanted it to happen, but good luck. My prayers are with you and your young family.
?!…….I’m somewhat lost for words.
“I’m proud of how she did it. I was 16 when I got pregnant,” said Jamecia

WTF??
Kompton’s Kutie….U ain’t the only one!
This is crazy!!! Her mother should support her of course but not congratulate her. This shows what kind of family cycle they have. SMH
this should have been posted under “Jesus Take The Wheel”
____________________________________________
Truly, I mean making a mistake is one thing but BOASTING about it??? C’mon people, we as women have to do better than this for our children and their future. Just because you made a mistake does not mean its prefectly fine for your daughter to do the same thing….Damn shame.
I know. How ignorant and ghetto can you be by celebrating a teen age pregnancy? Why are the older women in this girl’s life so stupid and trifling. Did she even graduate from high school? Did they encourage her to go to college and have a career capable of raising a child before she had one. Pathetic. The father probably n uneducated, unemployed fool I bet.
Co-sign@LadyK
@Bree,
Thanks for the clarification. SMH.
@Ldyk…..That is what we do, celebrate stupidy! You have ignorant folks who had children at very young ages who think just cause their children waited a little later to have out of wedlock kids, they have accomplished something.
My parents have been married 42yrs. Over the years I have watched my mom do something that I started doing. My mom will NOT go a baby shower for an unwed mother no matter the age of the expecting mom. She would always tell me that you can give a gift without having a party to celebrate poverty & being a single parent. My job also have the same rules. It’s not writen in stone but coworkers have noticed that everytime they submit a request to have a shower for an unwed mother on company time, it’s always denied without explanation. Married moms are always given big blow out showers with all decorations & the cake being paid for by the company. Coworkers have said it’s racist. Can you figure out why?
If this was Sheneequa from around the way you wouldn’t see her mother on the red carpet looking all happy because her young daughter is pregnant.
only the rich and famous get celebrated for their mistakes while the rest of us peions get chastised.
IT’S NOT THE TEEN PREGNANCY THAT HAVE ME SO CONCERNED. IT’S THE FACT THAT PARIS IS USING THE SAME RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR THAT SO MANY OTHERS IN HER AGE GROUP ARE USING AND GETTING HIV INFECTED.
Damn…
I was with my husband for 2 years when I got pregnant…we didn’t get married until I was pregnant with my 2nd child…
Not everyone has the same cir*****stances and I never considered myself an “unwed” mother. We were together raising our kids.
@Somer, I understand your mother has standards and for people over a certain age, that is common. However, you live in a different world now where women can do what they want and how they want. Its time to get with the times, women have babies all the time without being married by choice and make fantastic mothers.
Why should they be discriminated against? Why should they be judged by people who are without sin in their own life?
Im just saying…
Good afternoon to all the regulars!!
@ Somer, I agree and concur…..
I had my first child at 17, I was ashamed and so were my parents, I learned my lesson though, they didn’t go around braging about me, if somebody asked them, they would tell them they wouldn’t deny it, but they just wouldn’t boast about it…..I however DID have a beautiful ababy shower, because no matter how the baby was concieved CHILDREN ARE BLESSINGS FROM GOD. you just have to know what to say, and I don’t think Jamecia said the right thing here. She sounded stupid and irresponsible. Now that I am older I look back at when I was 16 and think to myslef there was no excuse for me getting pregnant I love my 4 year old now but she could have waited a couple years, because they’re are too many forms of contraceptives to say “the condom broke”
Btw, its triflin that her mother is bragging about this. Im not saying if she wants to be happy.. do her.. but don’t go making a huge deal about it. 19 is extremely young to be a mother and to get married. Some people make it work..but Paris doesn’t seem to be the most mature person in the world with the best influences around.
SMH at her saying she is happy she waited until age 20 to have a baby…
Why should they be discriminated against? Why should they be judged by people who are without sin in their own life?
_________________________________________________
I also agree with this statement, they should not be discriminated against, but If I were at a company and was pregnant and not married I wouldn’t want to have a baby shower around a bunch of probably married and happy people, thats just something I wouldn’t want to put myself through….
@Lauren
Like I said, every situation is different. It should be the mothers choice to have a shower or not..not some executive sitting on his high horse. If its something she chooses to keep quiet and not make a big deal about…thats her choice.
Btw where is MDaddy today?
Let’s be honest-the music industry is fickle, and all these former Idols are getting dropped from labels and management. The likelihood that Paris will enjoy this long lasting career is slim to none-and a high school education is hardly anything to fall back on for huge financial security. And with a kid, it’s that much more difficult. The father’s occupation isn’t mentioned, but I really hope he has an education and stable employment. Our people need to stop perpetuating this cycle and thinking it’s OK.
Btw, I had just turned 25 when I had my first child… and I was STILL overwhelmed. More power to that girl…
OK…I’m confused…is mom glad that her daughter is having unprotected sex and isn’t married…or is mom glad that the daughter knows who the baby daddy is?
WHAT????
Who are these people?
This is a very interetsting subject for me…All of my college friends have children except one, she is getting married soon, one is married woth a kid, the others have a child or two but no married. I am single no kids or serious relationships (im doing me and having fun and establishing myself in my career). I would love to have a family AFTER I am married for about a year or two.
I might be my “selfishness” that i haven’t had child(ren) yet. One of my friends said “girl you better hurry up before your 30!” I was like ***** I got 4.5 years before that! LOL
Yes babies are a blessing, I just want me and my husband to be ready….it’s hard when you’re married to care for a child…let a lone young and single.
can someone tell me what queen latifah has to do with paris? are they related?
I’m a mom of 3 girls and I wish any of them come home pregnant before they finish school and I don’t mean high school, college or trade school. It’ll blow up like the godfather. Oh they’ll need to date, see the world, or at least some other country, have a great job, hopefully married. And most of all, they’ll need to have their stuff together before bringing another life into this world.

I agreee….
MDaddy lives on the West Side, so he’s probably just getting to work, he’ll be here soon
2008, and *****s still havin’ babies out of wedlock and the mama is proud that her daughter is carrying on the proud tradition of irresponsibility. You gotta luv it.
Why is the baby daddy hideing? It must be a Celeb guy.
I am from Minnesota and these folks really try to put off the perception that they are just so holy and filled with the sweet spirit of the holyghost and what not, but yet I be seein her momma with the most revealing outfits, with her ***** out hanging all in *****s cars, and her daughter be out at the club in *****s faces, I beleive that baby is probably Huey’s, cause she recently had him all over her page talking about they in love and *****…..CRAZY!!!!
who the ***** is huey?!
no college? only few people can pull of no college and be succesful and some of those few are still damned idiots…theyre insane lol..and shes no megastar…
First of all how the hell is the mama thinkin that WE the public are checking for Paris baby father.. She not doing anything in the music business first of all.. She needs to worry about how her daughter will make ends meat. Woman please!

I’m gone just shut up, cuz i have nothing nice to say….
I wouldn’t wish teenage parents on my worst most hated enemy, but less a baby!!
Teenagers alway think that it’s OK and that they’ll do fine but they focus on the exceptions and not the general rule. Choosing to be a single parent is a tough job.
Afiya said: “OK…I’m confused…is mom glad that her daughter is having unprotected sex and isn’t married…or is mom glad that the daughter knows who the baby daddy is?
WHAT????”
I was confused too. But I think she’s proud that Paris waited until she was 19 to get pregnant. BTW, does that girl have a record deal or is otherwise working?
I remember her on the show. They need to change them contracts for Amercian Idol contestants. Soon, *****ody is going to care who wins the show because they won’t produce no records no way. They trapped under dumb management.
Paris is a nice “hershey kiss” too. I bet ol’ boy had fun making that baby.
Jamecia’s mother, Ann Nesby of the Sounds of Blackness is 53 and Jamecia is 35 or 36. Paris is considering naming the baby Egypt.
LdyK,
I feel you on the wait! I’m 27, just went back to school a couple of years ago and am RACING towards the finish line by the time I’m 30. That biological clock is mighty loud, but I’m not doing it by myself. I need a STRONG MAN in my life and as my husband before anything happens. Accidents happen, but I’m grown and quite aware of the reality of it all, so keep on holding on girl!
Huey is a rapper, u know, “Pop, Lock, and Drop it”….
There is nothing ,I repeat nothing to celebrate when a child of 19 is unmarried and having children
Amen Cat Eyes!
whatsyoursismine. Thatagirl! I am proud of you because you are doing it right. Most of these ignorant, uneducated types have got it backwards. And don’t worry about being an older mom because that seems to be the trend now. Women want to get an education, a career and establish themselves first before they have a baby. I’m sure you are going to be a great mother when it happens and your baby won’t have to suffer on welfare and the rest of his/her life by not having a solid work ethnic. Your offspring will see you going out everyday with your husband to make a living and they will learn by example. I love intelligent, forward thinking sistas like you. Because the educated, competitive Black parent will become the norm in this family. Thank you for the positive image, WhatsYoursIsMine, and don’t give up, you are still a very young woman.
Made a mistake, I meant to say “Because the educated, competitive Black parent will become the norm in this country very soon the way it use to be before all those liberal, *****eyed negroe types,(we all know who they are) messed things up for us.
@LJ…if she does have a record deal…it’s on the back burner now.
When you ask pregnant teenagers, are they going to complete school and they always tell you “yes”. I ask them who is going to babysit for them when they need to study? Who’s going to pay for childcare when they need to study or work? Where will they live? The answer usually is “Mom”.
Something about this whole thing doesn’t sit right with me. First of all who is she. Don’t really remember her. Has she had a song out since AI? Also the mother is entirely too happy that her 19 year old daughter with potentially no steady income is pregnant. I had my baby at 19 and will do my best to make sure she doesn’t do it that young. I am not proud of that at all. I love her bu I believe I could have provided better for her being more financially stable and settled when she was born. The mother seems like um…I don’t know this just doesn’t sit right with me.
Cat Eyes….I agree!
Sounds to me that the grandmother’s (Jamecia) ego needs a reality check.
***** wedlock. You don’t have to be married to have a baby. If you love the person you with you should decide for yourselves what is good for you, it should’nt be based on some 2,000 year old product of a b.s. religion. If you have what it takes to raise a child: money, patience, maturity…then do you. I’m pretty sure that is how her and the grandmother-to-be feels about that situation. I’m a twenty seven y.o. male and my first baby is being born this year. And if it was 7 years ago I’ll still be as happy. Me or my girl or not the least bit worrying or concerning our selves with marriage. It’s a bull***** institution that has people relying on the state to officiate their love. Yall’ motha*****a’s are a bunch of follower’s and squares if you go by that b.s. you were taught growing up. Go against the system and form your own opinions independantly from conservative and religious influence and if you come full circle to your conservative views then fine, but atleast you can say you’ve reached those results your self instead of having a fool teaching you on how to be a fool and carry on that tradition. Maturity can be reached at 18 or 28 it depends on the person.
this is pure ridiculous! why is this even a story. she is only 19!!! that is what is wrong. we celebrate the wrong things, give light to the wrong things….
How sweet. We’re absolutely positive that Big ‘Tifah will make a wonderful Uncle… Auntie to her child.

Bossip, yall are just plain wrong. LMAO.
@circa-81
How is wanting to be married before procreating being a “square?” If that’s considered old-fashioned, squarish, nerdy, whatever, you can put me firmly in that camp. SMH.
Notice how Baby’s Daddy wants to keep his identity on the low. I wonder why.
@ Sydney
That’s fine. I’m an advocate for people being themselves. That’s what it is all about. Since forever I’ve “done me.” So I can’t tell you that you’re in error for doing what you do. But I can say that your way is not the right road for every body. Ya’ dig?
I am 36 and I don’t have any kids much less grandkids.
Damn.
@Sydney I agree. SMDH for people being squares who believe in marriage. Please. If you don’t believe in it then that is on you. Maybe you are lame for having a baby that when you decided (if you want to Circa-81) that you are done with the moms or that situation you can just up and leave on a whim without a care in the world like a lot of males do. So what is wrong with wanting to be married. I love it! I am not square. Me and hubby are some freaks, enjoy life and do everything else that non-married folks do. So what if he felt it was important for me to have his last name. That man will still bust you upside your head. Marriage doesn’t make people a square. Squares are squares whether or not they are married and I am sure with your mentality Circa, you will be an ***** and a lame whether or not you one day decide to get married.
@circa-81
Well, since you labeled those in the pro-marriage camp as “*****fu**as” who are “followers” and “squares,” I will tactfully disagree with your blanket *****essement — particularly when I consider myself more of a realist when it comes to responsibilities of child-rearing. Below is an excerpt from a 2005 study on the benefits of marriage among black couples:
“The state of the black family concerns many scholars. Census data show that 34 percent of black families are headed by married couples. This is a substantial reversal from 1950, when almost 80 percent of black families were headed by married couples.
The IAV report sought to answer questions about this shift by reviewing 125 social science articles and national survey data on how marriage affects black families.
The five researchers found that, on average, married black men and women were wealthier and happier than their unmarried peers.
Economically, having a spouse — and often a second income — brought substantial dividends. One study reviewed in the report found that family incomes of black single parents (usually mothers) grew by 81 percent when they married.
Marriage also benefited children, especially boys.”
So my “*****f**ckin’, follower, square” ***** will continue to strive for the healthy married two-parent household that my parents provided for me. I’ll be the fool who put the carriage before the marriage.
Oops, I meant to write “marriage before the carriage.” Good grief!
@I’m Just Me
Hey there! Thanks for understanding. I’m beginning to think I’m in the Twilight Zone. . .*shudders*
******essment* another typo
@circa-81 says if you love the one you with than it shouldn’t matter. The problem is most of these out of wedlock kids are products of 1 nasty night stands or jumpoffs. There is no love between these folks. Some of these kids have never had any relationship with their father.
who
@ I’m Just Me
Marriage is an unimportant element when it comes to raising a child. What is needed to raise a child is a mother and a father. If you are married that’s fine. But, marriage is based upon a foundation that is contractual at best. Many people go into marriage because they were taught that it is the right thing to do or they believe it makes their love real. Marriage is not going to stop a motha*****a from boucin’ just like a baby won’t…but I admit it can make you go through a process to do it. And if you are not a square what the ***** you get offended for?
Her Mom sounds like a tacky broad for even thinking that being an unwed mother is something to be proud of. Why is it girls named Paris seem like the biggest flakes around? This little ghetto child will see just how easy it is to get pregnant and HOW DAMN HARD IT IS AFTER THE BABY IS BORN. THE BO-BO.
@ Somer
You generalizing. What about the many families that are young and are doing their thing? This is the real world people. Life fluctuates with many twists and turns. The path you take to your main goal is compleletly customizable. There isn’t any sure way of reaching success…it’s all about you having the drive and smart’s to get where you want. I moved into 1st apartment when I was 18 and I’ve struggled and also strived. But I strived way more than I struggled. But it depends on what you are made of point blank.
@ Sydney
Bro, did you just respond with statistics??
LOL. C’mon. But, I do give you this….marriage does have it’s financial benefits. But, you can experience just as much living together….maybe not all…but just as much.
@circa-81
I’m a sista.
And, yes, I responded with stats because I deal in facts.
What I want to know is, how did we get to the point in our community when marriage is no longer a valued institution? That’s deeply troubling to me. And, yes, this is a growing trend across the racial board, but the number of single parent households is significantly, disproportionately higher among African Americans.
@ Circa because you are generalizing and I am married and I defend my marriage and marriage in general to the hilt. You shouldn’t be making brazen statements about something and then won’t to call someone offened for defending it. I believe in marriage. And I take offense to being called something because you feel the institution of marriage is invalid. I am sorry I can feel anyway I want to. It isn’t so much the sqaure commentary. You may feel I am a square. That is for you to feel like and know. But to said I am a MFer and name call because I decided that marriage was best for my family is just as wrong as me making *****umptions that you would chose to up and leave your responsibility. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Such is life. But you spoke on something and since I fall under the category of being married I did take offense to it and to being told I am square for believing in it. I don’t attack you or others who feel like you for not believing in marriage so why should I not feel some type of way when I am mislabeled by you because of something that is very special and important to my life. Like i said the actual comment of being labeled a square isn’t the insult. The comment and insinuation that because I believe in marriage something is wrong with me is what *****ed me off.
@circa-81
Also, I deal with stats because this is a topic that has been covered by researchers and discussed publicly, including recently in Obama’s Father Day speech.
WOW!

Proud of how she did it…ain’t this a bit…
…did she place her leg up in a certain manner that allowed the males orgasm to come in a way no other can achieve? I mean really, what mother would say that about their own kid.
No matter how you defend it, that’s not normal.
@ Sydney
When in the hell did statistics become facts or the prime basis of reality?? I can provide the same “facts” to support my view with a study based upon full family households…..but it’s just a statistic. I’m sure there are many statistics that support and oppose the stat’s you are providing. Ya dig??
@ Sydney
C’mon just say it. In reality all a child needs is a stable family environment with both mother and father.
@ I’m Just Me
Didn’t mean to offend. But, c’mon, admit marriage is nothing but a legality at best.
Sex: God’s creation. Marriage: Priest’s creation.
@ Sydney
Oh yea. And people (not just Afro-Amer.) are moving away from religion and marriage alike. Why?? Because we have advanced socially and mentally thus identifying it’s ancient and out dated criteria. I’m just telling it how it is. You talk beliefs and talking actual realism. I’m not against people getting married but I am against people forecasting their view like it is the right one for everybody. That is the reason why I got into this discussion in the first place. I saw people putting on their “holier than thou” gear and I had to come disrupt it with genuine real life. I guess that is what the devil does, huh?
TYPO
*I’m talking actual realism*
@circa-81
You also generalized the view that opposes yours. I would love to see the stats supporting your claims. Please do share.
Her mom sounds like her personal think tank and guru is .. you guessed it …. AMY WINHOUSE
See you and me go to GOD and JESUS for our inspiration !
Not the Bennet family … they go to a really big crack house on the hill for there inspiration and thought processes !
Winehouse … oh yawl know what I mean`t !
OH .. by the way hello to the really smoove one >> ” MS. SYDNEY !!!
this is just the begining of a world wide spread of children having children — i am not gonna judge her, because only god can judge anyone,,,but these things are written in the bible….. the bible is fulfilling …..i strongly beleive in the words of the bible ….so listen up ….read the bible and you will see that these things suppose to happen …
@ Sydney
Hell no!! I thought with my wording I indicated that I’m not playing the “statistic” game. We’ll be on here for the rest of the damn day. LOL.

My name is Circa-81. I’m a soul rebel…socio-structure anarchist. The one and only general concensus renegade. I don’t try but I am and always have been opposed to idea’s, laws, rules etc. that have p*****ed down traditionally.

Can someone name at least 3 advantages to being an underage,unwed,and pregnant that married people don’t enjoy?
@ Onestep
***** u too, then.
@My mind is wacky
Hey, sweetie
How are you?
@Circa-81
Thank you for introducing yourself. So you’re an anarchist? Well, that explains things. Isn’t Wesley Snipes one, too? That’s nice. I’m a traditional, Southern-bred woman who believes in family, marriage, and being a good wife and mother one day. I’m definitely not a “*****f**ka” — nerd, yes; square, maybe; but a MF’er? Nah. . .
@ CNS
First give me 3 things that married people enjoy that others don’t.
@RE
WHAT CAN U EXPECT FROM PARIS’S MOTHER? SHE WAS A BABY HERSELF WHEN SHE HAD HER AT 16…WOWWWWWW,I SOOO AGREE WITH U.ITS NOT NORMAL AT ALL, AND WE WONDER WHY SOME GIRLS HAVE THE MENTALITY THAT THEY HAVE NOWADAYS….BECAUSE THE MOTHERS ARE STILL YOUNG THEMSELVES…ITS A CYCLE THAT I DON’T THINK WILL EVER BE BROKEN.
Sex: God’s creation. Marriage: Priest’s creation.
________________________________
WRONG, In many ways, Sex was created by God to sanctify a marraige, to seal it.
@ Sydney
WOW!! We’re similar. For me: family first, be a good lover, provider, and protector to the one I love, and as far as fatherhood goes eveybody that knows me already know that I’m going to be a great father. My girl is spoiled and I bought ton’s of ***** for my son arleady. We got 2 more months till he’s here. This weekend me and her are resort bound on the beach as a lil’ vacay’ before my boy get’s here. She’s received a few thousand dollars worth of clothes and jewelry. And so far I’ve spent close 1,500.00 on baby stuff. YA DIG? And guess what I did it all without being married.
@ Lauren
Take that quote as a rhetorical statement. There is alot more to it than just those words. Sex: if you believe in God and he created all then you should know that sex is a god given creation thus it being a display of human emotion. Marriage: much doctrine as you stated can be put marriage because politically and financially driven priests had to prove to the people they needed to be married for the welfare of society. Thus marriage is just a human creation.
@Circa-81
Well, if you have all that money to spend on clothes, jewelry, baby items, etc., you can spring for a ring and make it official.
Sorry to rain on parade’s and *****. But, C’mon. Yall’ actually take the bible for face value. Like half of that ***** isn’t distorted or fabricated. Umm yea.
Either the baby’s daddy be grinding or hee doesn’t have a job !
@ Sydney
Nope. We’re fine with the way we are. She know where she stand with me and vice versa. Who know’s maybe 1 day. I know how women get. Believe dat.
Hi, Lauren
@Circa-81
Oh, OK. So I guess you’ll teach your son that marriage is unimportant, no?
Whats up Syd??
Who’s the daddy? “He chooses not to be in the public eye,” said Jamecia. “I respect that.” What does he do for a living? “I can’t tell,” she said.
“She has a ring,” said Jamecia, who’s hopeful that she’ll be planning a wedding for Paris.
This is some ol’ bullsh-t. She’s ‘proud’ of how Paris got herself knocked up outside of marriage, and now she’s talking about a ring. Whatever. Oh yeah, she’s knocked up and allegedly engaged, but the father can’t be identified even through what he does.
What is it? Either they’re trying to go the Solange route and pick an appropriate young man who had nothing to do with the conception of the child — or ‘he’s rich!’
This story p-sses me off something fierce.

First off YES and second as long as I’m on God’s green earth I will never refer to the Bible as that sh___ that is pure disrepect, I wouldn’t do it if I WASN’T a Christian, I’ll never disrespect anyone’s religion. Anyways, yes the Bible is the Word and there ain’t no changing it, just because they ave different translations doesn’t mean any morals, or ethics have changed. It just is what is is.
@Lauren
I’m fine, girl. I’m just so glad that Obama is running for president. He’s the epitome of a stand-up black man, in every sense. I’m grateful for the example my father, my grandfather, my uncles, upstanding male friends, etc., have set for me. Some of the rhetoric expressed on this site really has me shaking my head in disbelief.

====================================
The problem with us black folks is that, unlike everybody else, we can’t afford to ‘go it alone’. We do not have it together enough as a people to pull the ‘it’s only a piece of paper’.
Save ‘it’s only a piece of paper’ when you’re grown and established. When you’re Oprah Winfrey, it can become only a piece of paper. When you’re both 30 and settled (instead of that scoping for the young ones nonsense), it can become only a piece a paper. Black community hasn’t proven it can deal with ‘it’s only a piece of paper’. I’m in a hating mood this afternoon, reading this story.
There’s also ‘marriage is a white people thing’. I won’t touch that. But conversely, I do want to think the mainstream Feminists for helping overturn hundreds of years of slaves fighting for the right to be married, into the present mess. Solutions for rich white women are NOT solutions for poor colored women.
Stupid grandmother… ‘five generations’… so effing what, if those generations are screwed? What, does she think it’s an accomplishment? Her worth is in the output of her vagina?
I guess some people do. That’s no better than men putting worth into the output of their *****es, though. Let me stop. This story has me turned around and grinding my teeth. I’m not going to poison this page with my bile any further.
Hey Sydney .. I`m jumping all over bossip today .. mainly because I have the attention span of a three year old ! But I`m well and I hope you are good too .

@Lauren
I’m fine, girl. I’m just so glad that Obama is running for president. He’s the epitome of a stand-up black man, in every sense. I’m grateful for the example my father, my grandfather, my uncles, upstanding male friends, etc., have set for me. Some of the rhetoric expressed on this site really has me shaking my head in disbelief.
_____________________________________________
TRULY! I agree and concur; hopefully this election will shed some light on a real example of a strong black man.
@ CNS
First give me 3 things that married people enjoy that others don’t.
For someone who grow up without a father in the home I would first say the emotional support. As an adult I still have trust issues, because it your your mother or father does not love you enough to stick around for the good and the bad times your grow up feeling like you can’t trust anyone. I have girlfriends that have grown up in with both married parents and they all way better adjusted than me about life and relationships are happier and alot less bitter.
@Nita
Pardon my naivete, but are they really people who view marriage as a “white people thing?” I think I may have also reached my quota of ignorance for one day.
@My mind is wacky
Yes, I’m well, just waiting for Friday, Independence Day, lol.
@Lauren
Snaps up, sista! All the exemplary black men, please stand up! Whenever I see Obama, I want to shake that fine brother’s hand and say thank you, lol.
Yeah why don`t we all just think like the Bennett family
??
Huum, I`m broke today why don`t I rob a damn bank !
My Mom will release a statement I`m proud of my son .. he is doing it real big .. I like the way he`s doing it .. he`s doing things the right way … . I rob my first bank at 10 years old !
@Somer wrote, “My job also have the same rules. It’s not writen in stone but coworkers have noticed that everytime they submit a request to have a shower for an unwed mother on company time, it’s always denied without explanation. Married moms are always given big blow out showers with all decorations & the cake being paid for by the company. Coworkers have said it’s racist. Can you figure out why?”
It’s only racist if one group of women get showers regardless of marital status, while it’s denied to other women.
The real problem with the company’s policy is not the racism angle, but the equal angle. Either all mothers get treated the same with company money, or none do. If the company has a policy in place that it will not provide a shower during company time (?? why is it doing that in the first place?? those should be off company time or during lunch) unless a woman is married, it needs to be do*****ented in the company handbook that that’s the reason, and do*****ented on company letterhead. If it’s not do*****ented in the company handbook — please talk to the EEOC for references on who to talk to about this, because the company should NOT be using company funds for one group, and denying it to another group.
I hope that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. I wonder what would happen if a man pushed the issue first. You can only fight this if you gather the do*****ents of everytime this has happened (acceptances and denials), and then go higher.

=============================
Yes. Where are you living where you haven’t heard that? LOL
@Nita
LOL, I’m from the South, but I just haven’t been around anyone who would express such a thing. I don’t know. . .lol.
That should have been, “are THERE really people.” Sorry
@ Sydney, I’m from Philly, and that statement, while some may think that is the deal, its not the deal. marraige, a “white people thing” I can seriously say that that is the most ignorant, degrading, most offensive statement I have heard all day.
@Lauren
Yes,that statement is very degrading, and I put it in the same category as people saying that speaking standard English is “talking white,” or if you want to excel in education then you’re “acting white.” We really have to get out of this destructive, self-defeating mindset. It’s insulting.
Hey let`s celebrate yawl .. For what yawl ask ? Well in 15 years Paris daughter will be having a daughter .. ” And Paris will be an equally dumb statement like her mother did !! Hey they got to keep up that Bennett Generational Stamp of excellence !!
Sydney as long as there are people like you and Lauren we are going to be alright in this world !

Well Syd, you heard it, let’s be fruitful and multiply! lol
Thats so weird, her grandparents were just at my church in Fayetteville like a month ago! I guess they are happy for her they didn’t say anything about becoming great grandparents. Thats not something the family should boast about the way they did in that interview. But I’m not going to judge.
@My mind is wacky
You’re a sweetheart.
LOL @ Lauren
Once I’m married to the right man, I will be happy to multiply, lol.
I don’t think that some women understand fertility. A lot of young women think that if they don’t have babies when they’re very young, they won’t be able to have them at all. So, they rush into pregnancy without fully *****essing the change that it will inflict on their life.
At least she wasn’t as bad as her momma. Her momma had her at 16. Sad that this is a trend amongst the young black and latino women. 19 years old and no man. What does she have to be smiling about.
Wow,she’s really happy. How sad.

Let me point out something to you. It’s not people have a real issue with all this out of wedlock babies. It’s the fact that so many of these kids are born to sorry parents that. That keep making more to get those welfare checks and food stamps.
I’m in the school system and it’s real annoying to talk to BLACK kids and when you ask about Dad-you get these replies-
1) I don’t know who he is
2) He’s locked up
And then you wonder why so many of our kids are acting a fool all the time. It tends to be kids from single mother homes with no father support.
Now lets look at it from a money standpoint-
How many companies are willing to invest in folsk with baby momma/daddy drama? Look at Lebron James-funny how all his ads VANISHED when he got a 2nd child with his girlfriend. Even ESPN yelled at him to get married. You can’t market guys like him to everybody when all he’s a guy with baby momma and not a wife.
Same with the business world, I wonder if those girls that are having babies at Lauren’s job-were bragging about the father prior to getting pregnant. If thehigher ups know the father is a deadbeat-why would they allow a shower for a baby with at least 1 sorry parent.
We live in an image based world and you all saw the backlash about Brittney Spears’s sister having a baby out of wedlock. She lost her tv show.
What is cool in the hood isn’t always cool everywhere else.
This dumb girl just ended her career before it ever got started unless she gets married.
I don’t think that some women understand fertility. A lot of young women think that if they don’t have babies when they’re very young, they won’t be able to have them at all. So, they rush into pregnancy without fully *****essing the change that it will inflict on their life.
————————————————
Most know what they are doing. They know they can get a check for that baby from Uncle Sam.
They want the attention the baby brings. It’s the same thing with all these kids that act like thugs and knuckleheads.
When a kid gets out of jail what do black folk do? PARTY! Same with a baby-PARTY and now everyone is paying that girl attention.
We don’t party when little nerdy black boy makes the honor roll. We party when thuggish black boy gets out of jail or when that ridea*****untilshep*****out girl is expecting a baby.
it’s different when your rich and pregnant as a teenager..you don’t have much hardships..teen pregnancy is too common this day & age..if you are going to have sex w/o a condom there is such a thing called the morning after pill..damn we have sooooo many options and people still droppin kids fresh after prom
—————————
This chick is far from rich. She didnt win idol and I’m sure her album didnt even go gold. 20 yrs old?! Please she really should had used a condom. At 20 you should be exploring the world, dating, getting an education not preparing to be a mom and not even officially married yet. Silly rabbit!
and then her ghetto mother wanna be all proud and happy as if she’s truly accomplished something. Just b/c she had her at 16 and she didnt repeat her mistakes doesn’t elude the fact that her daughter was IRRESPONSIBLE and had UNPROTECTED SEX and is about to have a kid out of wedlock. Dumb ***** ghetto parents.
Frankly, If either one of my daughters 18,16 came home with this mess, they for damn sure would not need the morning after pill, they would need a tow truck to get my foot out of that azz
Well maybe Paris mom meant hey everybody my daughter did good…. ” SHE WAITED THREE MORE YEARS THAN I DID ” !! LET`s BREAK OUT THE BUBBLY !!!
This is a new day and age kids are having babies at the tender ages of 11 and 12 so 19 aint bad. ***** I know this may seem bad but i know people going on their 2nd and 3rd child at 18. Y should her mother be *****ed? She got the money to take care of a child. So bossipers please stop acting like yall dont know what year it is.
And please stop actin like yall was *****in at an early age!(lol) She havig a baby that she wil have to deal with and whether you are 15 or 50 its still gonna be hard raising a child. how dare some of you speak about the morning after pill, babies are a gift from god and maybe her mother knows that. She didnt do a bad job herself either, besides having a baby young most of yall cant say ***** else about her. bad or good! personally i dont know her,i dont watch american idol!
I’m just a bit curious.The Magazine HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP reported her profiles were found on the famous wealthy dating club RICHLOVING.COM last week and she was seeking her new guy there now! BTW, The girls there are really hot!
Okay am I the only one wondering what’s the connection b/w her and Queen Latifah???? How the hell does she know her????
Her mom is pathetic!! There is NOTHING to be proud of. Yet another un-wed, teenage parent… Sure she was able to keep her legs closed longer than her mama did, but there’s nothing cute about this… Oh goodness when are people gonna learn!?!?! She’ll be washed up soon enough… If she does get lucky and make it big in the entertainment industry she’ll only be, at most a C-list artist (like Solange, Fantasia, etc)!! Can’t do ***** with a baby! LoL
Flawdagurl = Donttakeno*****
IT’S TRUE THAT BABIES ARE A GIFT FROM GOD BUT SO IS BIRTH CONTROL!!! THANK YA JESUS!!!!!
I’M LMAO AT THE FATHER CHOOSES NOT TO BE IN THE PUBLICS EYE???THEY AREN’T B AND J/ OR JLO AND MARC A. THEY ARE THE PUBLIC LIKE US LITTLE PEOPLE, I NEVER LIKED PARIS AND THEY NEED LATIFAH FOR FUNDS FOR THE BABY, FATHER PROBABLY A THUG IN JAIL…. AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES FOR UNWED GIRLS….
Wait… I must have missed something… How in the world is this American Idol reject rich??? She’s havin a baby before she can even drop an album?? The money she does have probably isn’t even enough to buy diapers for a full year!
WHY ARE THESE YOUNG GIRLS TODAY THINK BEING PREGNANT OUT OF WEDLOCK IS SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF ,THIS WORLD IS JUST A MESS,EVERYTHING TODAY IS SO ACCEPTABLE,GOING DOWN THE DRAIN,GOD KNOWS THIS,THATS WHY SO MANY THINGS BAD ARE HAPPENING NOW,THIS WORLD NEEDS TO WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOON
We cant sit around and do nothig while ugly is bieng spreed aroud ppl…..stand up and be counted
Paris’ mom is so very throwed in the game. Who would ever want somebody calling them ‘grand’ anything at 36 yrs old? humh? Nice. lol
It’s better to wait until you are in your late 20s or even early to mid thirties before you have a baby. I wouldn’t wait much longer after that. If you have a career and want to go out and party wait until 32or 34.
I don’t know what’s worse…the cycle repeating itself or the mother condoning her daughter’s teen pregnancy.
my fiance is 19 too, but not pregnant. she’ll be 20 this month lol. she still a baby.
Paris,
Kiss your career and your morals goodbye. You are not America’s sweetheart. If you had spent as much time on your CD as you obviously did having sex, maybe…
A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN A PREGNANT TEEN! BOSSIP GIVES CERTIFIED SHOUT-OUT TO RACIST BLOG!!! PLEASE READ!
I am a reader and not a usual blogger, but I cannot believe that no one has commented on the fact that BOSSIP had the site “DRUNKEN STEPFATHER” as one of it “CERTFIED LINKS”! Brothers and sisters WAKE-UP and boycott or at least email them for an explanation!!! DRUNKEN STEPFATHER is one of the most crude, racist, misogynistic blogs I have ever visited!!! They have degrading and derogatory comments on every sister they have EVER profiled. Rise up and call for change. If BOSSIP supports them should we be supporting BOSSIP??? Check out what they have said about the like of Naomi Campbell, Eve, and even our soon to be First Lady! If this doesn’t prove that Bossip is a white owned and self deprecating site nothing will!!!! PLEASE take the time to visit this blog! You will be much wiser about who is writing this one!
