Ugly Babies?
By now, the news has broke that Brangelina is with child. I for one couldn't be more sad for Jennifer Aniston, who now has to see them all over the tabloid covers yet again. Yet she really hasn't even had that much healing time since their actual divorce.
As sad as I am for her, I can't help but think that baby making between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie must have been hot as hell though. Which leads me to today's question. Will this child grow up to be the most incredible looking human ever, or will he / she /they (too early to tell) suffer from good looking gene overload?
Lets examine this. Angelina is the voluptuous offspring of Jon Voigt. Aside from similar facial features from which she is far more beneficial, everywhere else she is vastly different and highly superior. I've never seen Brad's parents, but considering that he is first generation Hollywood, I'd venture they are nothing to write home about. They are probably two average people who just happened to produce a miracle in the gene pool.
What will happen with the Jolie-Pitt kid? I have seen very good looking children spawn from very ugly parents. Even more often however, I have seen the converse. Will Angelina's lip chromosomes win out over his? Will Brad's body type look good as a woman, and vice versa? Will the sexy eye genes duke it out only to make peace in the form of a plain-jane round and brown product? What if all of the major features (lips, cheek bones, and eyes) choose the larger and more recognizable gene? Will that child be freakish? Does he / she even have a chance, if perhaps all of the good genes are recessive?
These are questions with answers that cannot be answered for more than 15 years. I can't wait!
God, I'm so excited about someone else's celebrity baby. Why do I care? I need another hobby!
