Why I Will Never Be a Celebrity

So, Mr. Bacon and I stopped by a Wal Mart on our way home from a temple trip last night. I saw this at the checkout line
Seriously Star Magazine? 
I have enough faith in humanity to be confident enough to believe that I am not the only person who finds this disgusting, so I have to ask, how does this even get published?

or all of these magazines that are literally fat shaming a pregnant woman,  even if it is annoying Kim Kardashian. Also, I think Kim looks pretty good in the picture on the right and decent in the one in the middle, so they're fat shaming a pregnant woman who doesn't really look that fat. 
This gets published because enough people are interested in bashing famous people so they  can feel better about themselves that this is profitable.

 While, I am not a mom, I know a lot of wonderful mothers who have shown me that motherhood is really hard and that no mother will ever be perfect. Yes, motherhood is fattening. Motherhood is exhausting. Good mothers will lose patience with their children, or not get their child to bed timely, or feed their children junk food sometimes, and the list goes on. Do you love your children? Are you exploiting your children for money? Do you abuse or neglect them? Do you let your husband/boyfriend abuse or neglect them? Would you put the needs of your child above yours? Would you do everything in your power to ensure that they are happy successful adults? These celebrities probably have the same fears and hopes that you do as mothers themselves, and frankly, even if they are scum the only people who need to know are Child Protective Services and the other appropriate law enforcement, not anyone who ever shops at a grocery store.

  1. Those magazines literally gross me out. I get ill when I see them. If we did his to "private" citizens, it would be stalking. How do people think they have the right to comment on the lives of strangers?
