Matthew McConaughey Jumps On the Illegitimate Baby Bandwagon

Are you tired of hearing about all the celebrity babies being churned out, giving job security to the next generation of therapists and rehab facilities?

So are we, but until a drunk David Hasselhoff is videotaped eating a hamburger on the floor, or Paris Hilton pees in the back of another cab, babies is all we got.

The latest baby announcement comes from Matthew McConaughey, who announced on his website that his girlfriend Camila Alves is pregnant. It’s nice to see Matthew found something productive to do besides being shirtless all the time. 

Yes, Matthew McConaughey, a man who likes to make romantic comedies that test the limits of our gag reflex, be tanned, and apparently have some sort of ban against wearing a shirt, is going to be a daddy. He’s been dating Brazilian model Camila Alves for over a year now, which puts him behind the pack in celebrity years.

He should have already proposed to Camila on the Eiffel Tower, had a Scientology person follow Camila around constantly, had the baby, and kept it in hiding for several months already.

Matthew McConaughey made the announcement on his website, as he stunned us all with his accurate account of how the miracle of life came about. It doesn’t sound hick or redneck at all:

"My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together. It's 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far."

That’s precious, Matt. And he seems to be well past the failed birth control ranting phase as he continues to share his elation:

“We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life."

There you have it folks. Two major announcements in one. Matthew McConaughey is going to have a baby, and Matthew McConaughey is going to become a shepherd. Hey, whatever keeps him from making movies with Kate Hudson and that dude, Sarah Jessica Parker.
