Online and print magazines, television shows, and blogs are awash
with gossip and speculation about
pregnant celebrities. Pregnant with
the Stars examines the American
fascination withand judgment
ofcelebrity pregnancy. It exposes
how a seemingly innocent interest
in baby bumps reinforces troubling standards about femininity,
race, and class, while increasing
the surveillance and regulation of women in society as a whole.
Investigating and comparing the media coverage of pregnant celebrities, including Jennifer Garner, Angelina Jolie, Beyonc, Kristen Bell,
M.I.A., Jodie Foster, and Mila Kunis, Rene Ann Cramer shows how
women are categorized and defined by their pregnancies. She exposes
how cultural ideas like the rockin post-baby body are not only
unattainable; they are a means of social control.
Combining cultural and legal analysis, Pregnant with the Stars uncovers a world where seeing, judging, and discussing the baby bump
isnt merely frivolous celebrity gossipit is an act of surveillance,
commodification, and control.
Americans have voraciously consumed images of gorgeous, famous pregnant bodiesDemi to Kierawhile ordinary women have officially lost
rights, dignity, and safety as fertile persons. Rene Ann Cramer cracks
open interpretations of this development, inviting us to consider the consequences of celebrating those beyond our reach, while millions of real
women are threatened with ignobility and ignominy.
