Uma wants more kids
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Rumors
Uma Thurman, star of Kill Bill and the perennial favorite Pulp Fiction has announced that although she is not currently pregnant she does want more children. Tongues were wagging over Uma having apparently gained a few pounds, which we know is a cardinal sin in Hollywood (heaven forbid!). Those tongues were convinced Uma was preggo.
Uma's new flame, Arpad Busson, responded that the extra poundage was from quitting smoking, not due to pregnancy. I've always heard that gaining weight after quitting smoking is a fallacy, but oh well--whatever.
In a recent Redbook article Uma professes that she'd like to add to her family, which already includes children Maya, nine and Levon, six, with former spouse Ethan Hawke.Says 37-year-old Uma, "...I asked the doctor, she tells me there's more time." Heck--37 is young by Hollywood terms!
Well, good luck, Uma! If it's more kids you want, then hopefully more you'll get. I just hope they're as uniquely beautiful as you!

Jessica said...No, it isn't a fallacy. Your metabolism slows down with the cessation of smoking.
Perhaps look things up before you state what you always "heard"

Judy said...I've read both sides on the smoking issue - that you do gain weight, and that you don't, and also that the reasons are different. It's not necessarily direct cause and effect - that smoking helps you lose weight - but that some people start snacking to make up for the oral fixation habit of smoking, and that some can taste food more and so they eat more.
I know I gained 50 pounds when I quit (I quit because I was pg). I didn't gain it back, though, and don't think whether or not I smoked helped keep weight off - I've been an on/off smoker for 10 years, and it never mattered to my weight at all.
Go UMA!
