Fox and CBS Reject Condom Ad Supposedly Because Of Contraceptive Message

From New York Times By Andrew Adam Newman IN a commercial for Trojan condoms that has its premiere tonight, women in a bar are surrounded by anthropomorphized, cellphone-toting pigs. One shuffles to the men’s room, where, after procuring a condom from a vending machine, he is transformed into a head-turner in his 20s. When he returns to the bar, a fetching blond who had been indifferent now smiles at him invitingly. Directed by Phil Joanou (“State of Grace”), with special effects by the Stan Winston Studio (“Jurassic Park”), the commercial is entertaining. But it also has a message, spelled out at the end: “Evolve. Use a condom every time.”

Study Suggests Having A Male Twin Reduces A Woman’s Fertility

One of us is going to have a somewhat easier time procreating later. From Reuters By Maggie Fox WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Women who have a male twin are less likely to marry and have children, perhaps because of being exposed to their brother's testosterone for nine months in the womb, researchers reported on Monday. A study of Finnish twins showed that women were 25 percent less likely to have children if their twin was a male. Those who did have children gave birth to an average of two fewer babies than women who had a twin sister. Based on an analysis of 18th and 19th century data, researchers found women who had a male twin also were 15 percent less likely to get married, Virpi Lummaa of the University of Sheffield in Britain and Finland's University of Turku and colleagues reported.

Celebrity Baby Bonanza

Felicity for Keri Russell. According to In Touch she gave birth to her (and husband Shane Deary’s) first child on June 9. They’re calling the little man River Russell Deary. The pair was married on Valentine’s Day after dating for a few years. The ’07 is a big year for K-Russ. In addition to the well-regarded indie flick Waitress, she is also in two studio films due in the fall, August Rush and Girl in the Park.  We haven’t seen much of her lately, with the exception of a small (but important) role in third installment of the Mission Impossible series. We hope she keeps up the pace. She’s a ray of sunshine and reminds us of a young Cameron Diaz, you know before she got all jealous of JT.

Rights Over Frozen Embryos At The Heart Of Texas Divorce Case

From UPI AUSTIN, Texas - A divorce case soon to be heard by the Texas Supreme Court will focus on the future of three frozen embryos the couple helped create years ago. While Augusta and Randy Roman initially agreed to create the embryos in their efforts to become parents years ago, Randy's sudden change of mind led to a legal fight regarding the embryos' use, the Los Angeles Times said Sunday. Randy, who opposes the procedure based on moral grounds, wants the embryos that are still viable to be destroyed or simply remain frozen. Augusta previously won a county case that would allow her to use the embryos, but Randy opposed the court's decision and was rewarded with a Texas Court of Appeals ruling blocking the medical procedure. Augusta then took that decision to the state's Supreme Court as part of the 46-year-old's attempt to become a mother. Tango’s Take
