She sounded like a spoiled brat!! I'm personally against elective c-sections for a first baby even though I had to have one when I had my baby. I wasn't planning on it though. And for her to even think of suing because she thought someone stole her "idea" for a movie...give me a break! I read Knocked up, while I was pregnant, and I could not relate to the book at all!!

However for all those people saying mean things about her...give it up! You sound so bitter! Are you jealous because your book didn't get publish or because you aren't fabulous mommies with a fabulous jobs? Sounds like it. And just in case you are wondering, I have a Finance degree and graduated with a 3.6 GPA...oh yeah...I have the cutest and sweestest baby in the whole world, a killer fashionsense and I am a size zero. Just because you are a woman and choose to be a mother it doesn't mean you have to give up your life, your body and who you are....what kind of role model are you setting for your daughters!!!!

You can trademark it -- if it is a series, or has a line of products with it. (You can't write a book on your own called 'Chicken Soup for the ... Soul,' for example.) Rebecca may have trademarked the term 'Knocked Up,' I suppose, in which case she would have a very strong case, but I think that's highly unlikely.

My favourite kind of wine! Accident? What a complete joke . . . a publicity stunt for her crummy little book, which nobody except ignoramuses liked, and her insipid Mommy Blogger column. And newspapers happily hire these twerpette hacks because society has steamrolled everyone's brains. I'm just waiting for a 12-year-old to get a byline in the G&M entitled The Cell Phone Diaries. Please, someone attack me with a cheese grater and have done with me.
