Lily Collins: Why Her Surrogacy Journey Was NOT Due To Her ‘Laziness’ To Get Pregnant – And Why One’s Personal Journey To Create Their ‘Dream Family’ Is Actually None Of Our Business

Women really can’t win these days. No matter what choice we make for ourselves, we’re going to get judged by society who views anything but the norm to be wrong. If we decide not to have children because we don’t want them, we’re judged. If we decide not to have children due to infertility, we’re judged. If we decide to go through IVF to help us get pregnant, we’re judged. If we decide to a surrogate, we’re judged. Lily Collins was one of those women to have been judged, when she and her husband, Charlie McDowell, announced the birth of their daughter in February, who was welcomed via surrogate. More than ever, we hear more and more women open up about going through IVF and surrogacy to have their children. Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chrissy Teigen, Nicole Kidman, Rebel Wilson, Courtney Cox, Michelle Obama, Adrienne Bailon, Priyanka Chopra, Mariah Carey, Jamie Chung, Michelle Buteau, Erin Andrews, Kristen Wiig, Hilaria Baldwin, Olivia Munn, Gabrielle Union, Jordana Brewster, and more. A lot of these women have been open about their own personal choices and reasons as to why they went the scientific route into family planning. Collins herself never addressed the reason why she used a surrogate to welcome her daughter, and for that she’d been shamed and scrutinized. Here, we break down the exact reason why Lily Collins’ decision to use a surrogate was NOT due to her being lazy to be pregnant. We explore the subject of surrogacy and why it’s such a sacred process to have to go through. And we explain why it’s actually none of our business how others choose to love and create their dream families. Let’s discuss…

Britney Spears: The Exploration Of How Her Postpartum Depression And Her Kids Were Used As A Weapon In Her Conservatorship – And How Paris Hilton Was Her Only Friend And Confidant During That Time

Britney Spears is an icon in the music industry, who’s personal turmoil overshadowed that talent. First, she was married to Jason Alexander (No, not the actor), a marriage that lasted only 55 hours. But before you joke and make fun, that’s not the shortest ever marriage in history. The shortest ever marriage in history lasted only 3 minutes. And yes, you read that correctly; only 3 minutes. Following her Vegas marriage and divorce, Spears was married twice more. First to Kevin Federline between 2004 and 2007, and then to Sam Asghari between 2022 and 2024. She had two children with Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Asghari supported Spears through her fans’ ‘Free Britney’ movement, which led to her being freed from her conservatorship. The conservatorship began in 2008, and finally ended in 2021. In 2017, Spears dedicated her first ever Icon Award to her kids. She said in her acceptance speech, ‘My two loves of my life, my sons Jaden and Preston, you’re the reason my heart beats. I love you so much.’ During that time, she was still under a conservatorship, which began in 2008 and ended in 2021, gave her father, Jamie Spears, control over her finances and personal life, but it was terminated in November 2021 after a court hearing. Here, we break down Britney’s path to the conservatorship and what led her to it, we explore her friendship with Paris Hilton and how their unlikely bond makes perfect sense, and explain how Britney’s postpartum depression and her kids were used as a woman in her conservatorship.
