I don’t think the Americans on this board are being prude about breestfeeding because of breasts – I just think that formula-feeding vs breastfeeding is such a hot-button issue, it’s almost like asking Jessica (on inter-national television) if she’s pro-choice. There are some very strong opinions out there on this issue. It’s a really personal decision and putting somebody on the spot like that is tacky. I also think it’s tacky to ask somebody that at the Oscars. It’s not like she was sitting down with People Magazine and giving them an interview on her life. Seacrest should’ve asked her about her dress and which movies she was rooting for and that’s it. Nobody asked Patrick Dempsey if his wife was breastfeeding their twins. Double-standard.

Wow! Wow! She looked really good. I loved her dress, her hair, just everything about her that night glowed!

Thanks Sarah. I watched the video and I understand now, lol.

No offense, but it seems to be a more North American or English-speaking-parts-of-the- world reaction to be “horrified” by such a question. Big deal, everyone can see she’s pregnant, why be prude about it/what’s so private about breast feeding???
Also, to “KRK”, “public” nature of pregnancy??? I think we as a society, especially in North America, could benefit in being a bit more relaxed and open with people around us. Why the need to be so alienating and act as if all strangers are the enemy??

As we watched at our house, it was a “What the hell?” moment. Ryan….. jeesh. yup, Joel will nail him on this one!! lol. She looked gorgeous. Couldn’t imagine her in a more beautiful gown.

Aw Jessica’s pretty here.

Anyway Jess seems to be sort of channeling Catherine Zeta Jones’ “pregnant at the Oscars” look from several years ago, although if memory serves me, Catherine was much farther into her pregnancy then than what Jessica currently is.

I hope all of the currently pregnant actresses have smooth and easy pregnancies.

Lauren I don’t think it was a good question to ask at all and I don’t condone someone (female or male) asking it on the red carpet however I just think had someone felt the need to it would of sounded fine coming from a woman rather then some man who probably doesn’t know the first thing about babies!

That being said yeah your right Jessica really needs to just relax. I mean she’s at a very popular event where she knows that sometimes the host can scrutinize or make jokes in good fun and you have to have a thick skin to just let it slide. If you can’t then don’t be there – infact why was she even there??

I think it is a bit of a personal question but it depends on the person whether they mind it or not. I wouldn’t be happy if someone asked me that in front of everyone and on TV, lol.
What was the “Best Baby” award? I didn’t see the ceremony. Was it about who’s going to have the best looking or most talented baby?

Sarah’s note: There’s a post a few above this one where you can watch the video.

Nice to see her finally emphasize the baby bump!
