Wow, yeah surprising news. I remember when he was engaged to Tara Reid. Bet he’s glad he dodged that bullet.

Anyway, congrats to Carson! He is a sweetie.

WOW where did this news come from??? Congratulations to Carson and his girlfriend, I wish them the best …… I also agree with whoever said they still picture him as a 20 something hosting TRL …..

If they are so over the moon on being parents than why don’t they do the right thing by the child and get married. I know, it’s not very Hollywood to be married!! But it just drives me crazy all these people who say they love their kids, but don’t want to give them a stable home. People…The best thing you can give your child is a mother and father who love each other and are their for the long haul together.

Yeah this IS a shocker! Lucky ass bitch! Hahah! I just really hope this works out for them…

Like Dawn pointed out – Siri herself is a celebrity baby. She is the daughter of Mark Pinter and step-daughter to Colleen Zenk-Pinter both soap opera actors.

For the wedlock comments: Carson considered becoming a priest when he was MUCH younger. Clearly, things have changed since then I don’t know why people are dragging it up now.

Thanks Lana. That’s exactly what I meant. And marriage is a big deal because it gives you rights that you don’t have in some states without that “little piece of paper.” Hence, gays wanting the right to marry (which I totally think they should have- but that’s not for this post )

mmh: Seeing as I didn’t mean marriage = fanfare, I can indeed say both in the same post. When I said fanfare I was talking about a wedding ceremony, not the actual relationship. Relationships require work, with or without a ring and signing your name on something.

Lana – I definitely see your point. However, I also know people change their opinions and beliefs for numerous reasons and there must have been a reason he chose to not follow that path.

The point is that regardless of career paths chosen and regardless of marriage, we should be wishing them well.

Oh yeah right. A piece of paper = fanfare. You can’t have it both ways — either you think marriage is too much trouble (fanfare) or “it’s just a piece of paper” — you can’t say it’s both in the same post!!!!!

There’s one I didn’t see coming…
I don’t think that any of the “out of wedlock” comments are meant to imply that there’s something wrong with the conception of the child, but rather surprise that a man who once thought of taking a vow of celibacy has changed his opinions so much. When religious views come into play, it has nothing to do with a piece of paper and everything to do with the spiritual union granted by the ceremony.

Exactly Harley! My aunt and ucle have 3 children (19, 16 and 12 years old) and have been together more than 25 years, thye just never felt the need to get married. That doesn’t make their family any less.
