And in this video, one of my all-time favorite actresses, Anne Hathaway, does a Lil’ Wayne style rap about poparazzi. It’s so funny how she blushes when she’s finished.
Do you think there should be a cut off age for having kids? What would that age be?
All the best to all of you for making timely family planning decisions.
Piper Bayard–The Pale Writer of the Apocalypse
My mom had my little sister when she was in her forties. That’s usually pretty late for most people. But 94? Does she want to have the baby and not be alive to see it grow up? Coo Coo… Would it be horrible to say she lost the leg with her common sense in it? *slaps hand*…LOL
Lol. It would appear that you have something with that sensible missing leg. I get the impression this is her hubby’s idea. Thanks for stopping by, Paige.
Oh, yes…and thank you for the mention today!
It’s really depressing that someone would be that selfish. Zha Zha went to school with Methuselah and the prince might not even make it to the child’s adulthood. I could be OK with it if we’re talking a woman in her 50s, but a 94 year-old? And wouldn’t carrying a baby be too much for a woman who not too long ago had a foot in death’s door.?
Lol. I do believe I saw Zha Zha in a class picture with Methuselah, now that you mention it. Actually, she wouldn’t be carrying it. Her husband is hiring a surrogate. But still, it certainly wouldn’t be either of them getting up with the baby at 2 a.m.. Thanks for stopping by, Lisa.
THAT is just WRONG! *laughs*
Great mashup and clip Piper
Thanks for the compliment, Gene, and thanks for stopping by.
You have the greatest mashups, Piper! Love that Anne Hathaway rap. She’s just the cutest thing.
So what self-respecting doctor would even do the procedure on Zsa-Zsa? And what does she have to say about it? So far all we’ve heard is hubby. What a nut case.
Actually, her hubby is locating a surrogate. Word is that she’s daft these days, and that the whole thing is hubby’s idea.
And isn’t Anne a hoot? I’ve always been a fan of hers. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
o.O LOL
And thanks for the blog love, hun! xx
She’s 94 years old. She’s 94 years old. Lol, that cracked me up.
I’m sorry, but wealth and notoriety are not golden tickets to get away with making such a stupid, selfish decision. I think it amounts to something close to child abuse–the parents will not do most of the raising, and will be dead or drooling lumps of incontinent flesh before long, giving the kid some nice childhood memories to cherish.
Anyone talking about having a baby at 94 and thinks that’s the best thing for a child is clearly NOT mentally stable enough to be a parent.
Angela
I’m with you. It’s pretty selfish, especially when there’s a living daughter who’s alienated. How about start with the kids you already have if you want a family? Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Love Anne’s rap. She is so adorable.
Zha Zha’s hubby sounds unbelievably selfish. Wow. I can’t imagine him as a father if he has so little concern for his wife’s health and welfare and the child’s needs. Wowza.
I’m not comfortable with an “age limit” for having children. However, there is the menopause. We are not adapted to give birth our whole lives.
Love the rap. Hilarious. And she does it so well.
Thanks for mentioning me in your mash-up. Can’t believe I’m keeping company with Zsa Zsa.
As for the baby at 67 and 94…I’m scratching my head. At least they can take out their hearing aids and not have to hear the screaming. Everything has a silver lining, I guess.
I’d listen to the video if I wasn’t at work, so I’ll just have to imagine how Zsa Zsa Gabor is able to have a child. I think one of her eggs got caught in tree sap 165 million years ago, and the sap turned into amber, and now scientists are going to extract the egg and re-implant it. Zsa Zsa will take it to term, and the resulting child will be the star of a theme park being built by Sir Richard Attenborough.
Thanks a million for including me in your mashup! Excellent company, too. I’m not worthy.
It isn’t like Zsa Zsa exactly has a history for long relationships with anyone, but I can see this one being really short. I agree that it sounds like it’s the husband that’s pushing this. Double-Z is probably just making zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s these days. She’ll wake up one day and there’ll be her little bundle of joy. Then she’ll divorce her 9th for being stupid. Can she live long enough to marry #10? Cray-ZZ.
Thanks for the blog mention Piper. I truly appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
Lol. Kerry, you crack me up. Any subsequent hubby would have to be Cray-ZZ. Some male equivalent of Anna Nicole, no doubt. Thanks for stopping by.
What??? Okay, first of all, that guy is hilarious… she’s 94 years old, I laughed so hard. Second? yeah, what the hell are they thinking? Maybe the baby daddy just wants her money, I don’t know. My grandma is 94 years old and if you asked her if she wanted another kid she’d slap you upside the head.
And finally, thanks for the Anne Hathaway video. I love, love, love her and this is one of the reasons why.
You rock Piper!
I’m with your grandma. I have two kids. I love both of them. Wouldn’t give you a dime for another.
This sort of thing is why I love Anne Hathaway, too. She was great on SNL when she hosted. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I’m TERRIFIED! I think that Zha-Zha’s husband should be locked away in an insane asylum. She can’t walk, she has lost a leg, and she’s nearing 100 years old! If this happens, we definitely deserve the end of the world…and he needs to be front in line to face the alien invaders. Let’s put a age limit on carrying children – how about 50? I still think that’s high, but I’m trying to be nice….
Thank you for the linkage! I can’t wait for fall to set in so that I can have a Moonlight marathon after dark….
Don’t hold back, Tiffany. Tell us how you really feel about the guy.
Btw, I’m with you 100%. He’s alien kibble. And I’ll bring the popcorn for the Moonlight marathon. Thanks for stopping by.
WTF!? Zha Zha Gabor? How? Why? OMG!
I know. Just sort of leaves you speechless, doesn’t it? Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I think it is totally freaking insane that he wants to put her through this…Now the reports say he’ll use a surrogate…It sounds to me like her Prince is hard up for an heir…Yep…an HEIR. I think this guy should be b***h slapped for even coming up with the idea. If he wanted a kid, he should have had one years ago and if she wanted one, she should spend time with her daughter–as in making amends. Nannies will end up raising it, or distant relatives…Geez…It would be one thing if AT LEAST one of them were in their 30′s or 40′s but this is nuts!
I know. I would even take 50′s. I agree with you, and I’m thinking this poor baby will only be used for the money it represents. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks so much for listing my post, Piper, I appreciate it
hope you have a nice weekend!
Thanks, Manon. I hope you have a great weekend, too.
I think Zha Zha and hubby are off their rockers! Sheesh!
Thanks for this list of great links. My favorite part of this post is the video of Anne Hathaway doing her rap song. Now, that was awesome! I wasn’t expecting that.

Yep. The On/Off switch has good reasons for being there. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
If they want to *shudders*. Health wise, it’s not a good option for her. If they’re using all donors, it’ll be better if he screws up with another woman and have Zsa Zsa raise their babies. Better yet, adopt.
Adoption is a great idea. Considering their ages and their bank accounts, I think they shouldn’t just stop at adopting a child. I think they should adopt an entire family. In fact, I think they should adopt several families. I’m sure they can find many willing volunteers in their local unemployment lines.
