Chrissy Teigen and John Legend choose baby's sex

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend choose baby's sex; the wonders of technology. I recall not even being told the sex of my first and second child after an ultra sound because they didn't want to unintentionally mislead the expectant parents just in case they were wrong. However, we have gone far beyond that - choosing the sex of a baby. Chrissy Teigen is defending her and her husband John Legend's choice of a girl but there is something troubling about anyone's ability to do so.

When China instituted it's One Child Policy, female babies were routinely aborted in preference of boys, reportedly. At lease in Chrissy and John's case the girl wins at the expense of the boy. I imagine pouring over a bunch of fertilized eggs and deciding which to pick. Of course I am not sure how it is done but I wonder what happens to the discards?

It is of course Chrissy Teigan and John Legend's decision to make and they will be able to say to their daughter that she was chosen long before she was viable. This is also possible with the advances in technology but I can't help feeling uneasy about what next?  Can you determine ahead of time if the child will be smart or beautiful? Maybe we can already do that. Best wishes to the expectant couple.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck break-up - The babysitter didn't do it.

Jennifer Garner has finally put to rest rumors that their young and gorgeous babysitter caused their break up.  In so doing, however, she has confirmed it would appear, that Ben Affleck did have an affair with the babysitter even though not while they were together. Soon after their separation was announced there were rumors linking Ben Affleck to Christine Ouzounian, the nanny. While Ben’s people denied the rumors, Garner has just revealed that  Ben's affair with the nanny was not the cause of their break up. 

So the nanny did not cause the break up but Jennifer Garner seemed to give credibility to the rumored affair by telling Vanity Fair that it was bad judgement and not great that the nanny disappeared from the kids life. Anyone reading this would assume that there was indeed an affair, it just didn't cause the breakup but it did rob the kids of their nanny. Then again, how does anyone know when the affair started? As the saying goes, "the wife is always the last to know" The question that always boggles my mind is why would any clear thinking woman hire a young beautiful babysitter?

Did Kesha lie about being assaulted by Dr. Luke?

Did Kesha lie about being assaulted by Dr. Luke? According to a report by TMZ, they have uncovered a video where in a deposition made in 2011, Kesha flatly denied that she was a sexually assaulted by Dr Luke. However, fast forward to 2016 and she is accusing Dr Ken of drugging and raping her. It is possible that Kesha was afraid to admit to this at the time, after all whe was in the prime of her career and if the incidents did occur, they didn't seem to bother her then.

The question I have is why not make a formal police report of sexual assault by Dr Ken? Afterll Bill Cosby is before the courts right now for alleged assault that occurred a decade ago. I don't know the answer. Maybe she was raped and drugged maybe she wasn't. The only way to get to the bottom of these allegations is in a court of law dealing with te specific issue and not as a side isse to getting out of a contract.
