I don't understand the thought process of so many of the beautiful, talented,intelligent women in Hollywood- "I worked with this guy filming a movie, so I have to sleep with him and get knocked up" You know very well, they'll be divorced within two or three years, and she'll raise the kid on her own. Seems kind of lame to me.

No need to worry about a divorce. I'll bet you that there will be no marriage. They are not going to get married. She'll be a fiance forever! It goes on all the time in Hollywood. Babies out of wedlock are the norm not the exception anymore. It's tragic for the children.
