Plus the fact that Elton John is 64 years old. How's this kid going to have a normal childhood when his "dad" is in his 70s and 80s when he's a teenager. Who's going to throw a ball with him, or take him fishing, or out for pizza (instead of drinking Ensure)? Ah, the idiocy of celebrity....
"Normal" childhood? No mom, the product of a "rent-a-womb," 2 "dads" (at least one a senior citizen), extreme wealth, media spotlight. Yep, sounds like a regular childhood.
So typical of what you hear from celebrities. To paraphrase the general line: "I've/we've decided to have a child now because it's the right time in my/our life for me/us to have a child." Forget about the question of how it may be for the child.
Euripides, Men at 64 can have children. Rod Stuart is having his eighth child at the age of 66.... with a woman... and no surrogate. Eight Children... Five Differing Mothers.
When your rich and famous, women aren't so picky when it comes to age or four other baby mamas.
Yours Sincerely... It's possible. Look at Michael Jackson's children. As long as they don't get their own reality show, some turn out OK it seems. We know those aren't MJs kids, time can only tell what they will want to know.
R.K. I think much of it has to the way 'entertainment news' isn't actually about the music or film, but rather their personal lives becoming entertainment.
I'm not defending what Elton John did, but the back story about his own father and the break up with his mother is rather sympathetic to anyone.
Renee: Yes, men at 64 can have children. The question, of course, is should they have children at that age when they cannot raise their children with any degree of normalcy.
Euripides, At least when we keep it in the realm of objectivity to that a woman has to voluntarily have sex with a 64 year old man, it cuts down the number of men in their 60 becoming fathers to newborn children by means of natural selection.

OMG is right.

ReplyDeleteAs I said before, it is the idiocy of celebrity.
