I’m sure Jude’s just thrilled to see his baby in a magazine. ugh.

Considering she’s 5 weeks old and he still hasn’t met her, I don’t really think he has a say in that.

I’m surpised at the woman who had the baby on the plane at 27 weeks and the baby weighed 7 pounds. seems weird.

kai — I’ve gotta say, I have absolutely no sympathy for Jude Law in this case. First, he’s never even MET his child. And second, we’ve seen pictures of him with his other children so it’s not like he completely tries to shield his kids from public attention.

As far as I’m concerned, Samantha Burke is a model who already had a name, even though I’m sure it’s been made more famous by having his baby, it’s not like she’s some random person just trying to get in the tabloids. She’s a celebrity in her own right, showing off HER own baby.

Kristine- If you read the full article, they quote a doctor as saying that it IS possible for a baby born at that time to weigh that much. Also, it says the baby weighes 7 pounds NOW. He may not have weighed quite that much at birth.

Rachel- I disagree with your first paragraph (after all, we have no idea why Jude hasn’t met his child. There could be a perfectly legitmite reason why), but I completely agree with your second.

hey, I don’t have much sympathy for him either. Jude might be a complete a–hole behind closed doors, but that’s not my business. I do respect him for keeping his mouth shut about the whole ordeal and I think he does shield his family from public attention.

this “model” on the other hand…

I don’t think much of Samantha Burke showing off her child this way.
