Scarlett Johansson speaks out in hold up considered Parenthood



The US House of council passed a bill to cut $300 in federal funding for women’s healthcare centers. Scarlett Johansson is wiles women to fight back.Scarlett, 26, and Planned Parenthood joined forces to film a new public service declaration that cheers women to sign a appeal opposing the legislation, which the actress calls “terrible.”

 “The House approved a bill to remove our country’s family planning plan and to stop Planned Parenthood health centers from getting any federal money to give life-saving anticipatory care,” says Scarlett. “That means no money for cervical cancer screenings and breast exams. 

No money for testing and treatment of STDs, not eve testing for HIV. No money for birth control. Each year Planned Parenthood provides vital care to millions of women, men and teens. For many people, particularly those with low returns, Planned Parenthood is their only source of health care.”

Rod Stewart would have given up parenthood Dream If He Wasn’t Third-Time Lucky


Rod Stewart has revealed he and wife Penny Lancaster would have given up their dream of becoming parents again if the photographer hadn’t fallen pregnant via in vitro fertilization at the third attempt.
Lancaster gave birth to little Aiden earlier this week (2/16), but before she fell pregnant, she and Stewart had resigned themselves to the fact they might not be able to conceive a brother or sister for their five-year-old son, Alistair.

In a taped interview for news show Piers Morgan Tonight, which will air next week (2/21), the rocker says,“We were more or less resigned to the fact that if it doesn’t work, we’ve got one wonderful son with Alistair, and I’ve been very fortunate in having eight children, so I wouldn’t have complained.“But I really felt for her (Lancaster) because she wanted a partner for Alistair.”

Now he’s a dad again at 65, Stewart’s only worry is that he’ll stay fit enough to play with his newborn as he grows up.
