Oh, I thought the Demi Moore cover was beautiful, lol. Not liking Christina's. It IS too airbrushed. She looks like a pregnant blow-up doll.

ITA Hermi. I think pregnancy is a beautiful thing, and I am damn proud of every last stretch mark I have because of the reason I have them. Pregnancy causes body flaws, some more extreme than others (mine are extreme). Show me a REAL pregnant woman, not an airbrushed barbie doll. To me this is not beautiful, it is ridiculous and tells women that if you get knocked up, you'll still look like this...puh-leeze. Demi was airbrushed as well, and it angers me that these women didn't demand naturality out of respect for other pregnant women.

I loved Demi's picture. I think Christina's is on a non-artistic magazine which doesn't work, and I don't like it that I can see the bottom half of her boob crease while she's wearing clothes. It's not a believable shot. Demi was completely nekkid, so any boob creases I saw were meant to be there, and the magazine (Vanity Fair?) was a bit more artistic/elegant than "waiting room" or "grocery checkout" mag like Marie Claire. Oh and she's too tanned. She looks like Pregnant Barbie. Pamy, is there a Pregnant Barbie that we can compare to?

Sigh. It's no different than many celebrity or model portraits that are produced for American magazines in that the person is hopelessly over retouched into some plastic looking Barbie doll image. I thought the Demi Moore pictures were wonderful. I think many pregnant women look beautiful and there are many amazing portraits that show that.

I liked Demi's cover but don't care for Christina's much. Probably because I don't care much for her one way or the other. Here is my niece's pregnancy picture. I think it's beautiful and cover-worthy!

I guess I would rather see her flaunt it than be that big with child and continue to deny it as she did for so long.

I admire any pregnant woman willing to have themselves photographed while shining with child and showing the beauty of the body. Thanks, Christina. And Demi. And Huk's niece.

Is it supposed to be sexy?? That certainly seems of late to be the one and only earth shakingly important quality for women to strive for... sad sad sad. Is your haircut, outfit,job, voice etc etc 'sexy enough'??? ick. I agree that it looks very plastic but if it looked 'too' real that would offend a lot of folks too. I didn't mind Demi, but this one just feels weird. Maybe it's the tan...

OMG! But, Jeff, the pronunciation is "Hungary", not "hungry". A little different.

That honestly was one of the funnier things I've ever seen. It was so cute to see the kids trying to hide their giggling. I wonder how much she ended up winning for her charity.

I really like Kelly Pickler. She had a really rough up-bringing, too. I think she has an amazing voice, and she's gorgeous to boot.

One thing about Christina is that she can sing!! I love her singing. I also think she is a beautiful pregnant woman.

Dennis and Kimberly Quaid's twins have fully recovered and were recently discharged from the hospital, their lawyer Susan E. Loggans confirms to PEOPLE. "The twins are back home," Loggans said of the newborns, Boone and Zoe. "Their condition is fantastic, they're smiling. Zoe looks like her mom, and Boone looks like his dad. They've fully recovered from the accident and it's doubtful they'll suffer long-term effects from the overdose." The infants, born Nov. 8, were hospitalized Nov. 20 at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after accidentally being given 1,000 times the recommended dose of Heparin on Nov. 18. Loggans clarified that the twins' "continued suffering," as stated in a lawsuit the Quaids filed Tuesday against the makers of Heparin, refers to losses of a financial nature and ongoing invasions of the Quaids' privacy. "The Quaids are very religious, and they believe their children's recovery is a real miracle," Loggans added.

A little more info about the suit: On Tuesday, the actor and his wife filed legal papers suing Baxter Healthcare Corp. for manufacturing the Heparin that they claim left the babies critically ill. The Quaids accuse the company of failing to properly label vials of its product - the 10 units-per-milliliter vial of Heparin looks almost identical to the 10,000 units-per-milliliter vial. They also insist the company executives has been alerted to past mix-ups, but chose to do nothing and are seeking $50,000 in damages. Link Got to give them credit for suing just Baxter and not everyone at all involved (hospital, doctor, nurse, etc.) and not for a ridiculous amount.

but i am sorry, even if the vials looked alike, one would think that a medical professional would be able to tell the difference. i would hope they would READ the label rather than just looking at the design.

Unfortunitly, TA, we are creatures of habit. My daughter likes 1 percent milk in her morning tea. Out of habit, because I use Mocha Mix in my coffee, I put it in her tea. Of course, no harm done, but I sure can understand how serious mix-ups can occur.

I believe a medical professional should be held to a higher standard than a mother pouring milk.
