Former Arkansas governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee was critical of Oscar winner Natalie Portman yesterday, for being pregnant out of wedlock.
The potential presidential candidate spoke on Michael Medved's radio show Monday saying:
"People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, 'We're not married but we're having these children and they're doing just fine. I think it gives a distorted image. It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of- wedlock children."
He went so far as to call Portman's pregnancy with Black Swan costar and fiance Benjamin Millepied, "troubling."
Huckabee put it in the context of women with fewer resources that the successful actress: "Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing."

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer is working overtime to help her client avoid some serious jail time in her felony grand theft case.
Shawn Chapman Holley and DA Danette Meyers, who is dead set on sending Lohan to jail for 6 months, will meet with Judge Keith Schwartz in his chamber next week. Lohan's lawyer will try to work out a plea deal in the felony case, according to TMZ.
Holley will ask Judge Schwartz which sentence Lindsay would most likely receive if she pleads guilty, or no contest. If Lohan is sentenced to 3 months, she will probably only serve around 18 days due to overcrowding.
Lucky for Lohan, Schwartz is known as a settlement judge, so a plea bargain could work in her favor. Either way, the troubled starlet will serve some jail time … again.

Vanessa Minnillo met a pal for lunch today an literally stopped traffic in her short dress and platform boots. When Nick Lachey's bride-to-be ran across the street (jaywalking) to get to her car, she had NO problem making it across, as a couple of male drivers gladly let her pass.
We bet Ms. Mannillo will choose a show-stopping wedding gown too -- and with a bod like that, there are bound to be a few jealous boys watching when Nick kisses his bride!
