Eva Mendes: "Teen Pregnancy Is an Epidemic"

Is Jamie Lynn Spears starting a new Hollywood trend of teen pregnancies? Eva Mendes thinks so!


At the unveiling of her new, nude, anti-fur PETA ad on Robertson Blvd. on Thursday, a covered up Eva was asked about Hollywood teen pregnancies -- and joked that it was an "epidemic," adding, "I hope I don't catch it."

At 33, Eva has nothing to worry about -- but Dakota Fanning and Abigal Breslin better be careful!

16. And doesn't it take more than one to make a trend? Yeah, but don't let that get in the way of lazy journalism.

17. I think all these young girls getting pregnant have a problem with being assertive when their boyfriends give them the whole, "But it feels better without the condom" excuse. With the variety of contraceptive devices available in this day in age, it seems ridiculous that women can somehow get "accidentally" pregnant. Idiots, just make the guy wear a fricking condom!

20. Our culture is so sexed up can we really be surprised about teen pregnancies? J Let's hope Jamie Lynn's years working and being in the spotlight have matured her- the baby may help her gow up unlike her out of control sister.

21. Hey, TMZ, that was a low blow. You leave Little Miss Sunshine out of this! Abigail Breslin is an American Sweetheart, a beautiful little kid. Don't include her in your snarky swipes.

22. She may well be right. The leaked picture of Vanessa Hudgeon (sp?) clearly showed a caesarian scar, and her work record for when she was 16 isn't stated.

Jamie isn't the first, she is just following along.

24. Boeing 787: While I can't speak to statistics, I certainly agree that abstinence only education is a stupid backward way of dealing with the problem. We can vaccinate our kids against disease but they can't come up with a vaccination to prevent teen pregnancy? It's a disease too. Boys and girls both need to be protected against unwanted pregnancy so babies aren't being raised by babies with no father around. That won't happen though, there are people squawking against the vaccintation to prevent cervical cancer. Oh, if they have protection it's giving them permision to have sex. Yup just keep burying your head in the sand and using babies as a way to punish girls for having sex. Why not just brand them with a scarlet letter while we're at it? How about we teach them self-respect and respect for each other, arm them with knowledge, common sense, decency AND BIRTH CONTROL. Jamie Lynn should be held up as an example of the consequences of careless pregnancy and have her show taken away.
