Molly Ringwald is a constant reminder to me that I'm not young anymore. lol. Her movies, image and attitude were paramount in my adolescent mind. Wow where did the time go?

[SwingingFromCenter]

She's FORTY?

Excuse me, I need to go drown my sorrows in a bottle of aged scotch. I suddenly feel very old.

Hey Molly, turn your kids on to this great new children's music artist. Our kids love her. And her music is so good, parents love it! (hard to believe...most kid's music drives me nuts...)

this is great :

My favorite Molly Ringwald film is her appearance in Jean-Luc Godard's film of King Lear.

Her little girl is gorgeous, they must be putting something in the water for all these actresses to be producing twins!

[WorldGoneWild]

Congrats Molly! I feel like I've grown up with her since we are about the same age and Sixteen Candles is one of my favs.

Well good for her! I couldn't do it at her age, but she probably has a lot more energy than I do. Her 5 year old sure is a pretty little girl.

Now I feel old. We went to high school together.

Another day... another celebrity having twins

[GingerB]

Twins at 40. UGH! No thanks.

[LovingHope]

I think it's strange how so many people in Hollywood are having twins. I laugh at the ones who said they did it naturally. It doesn't bother me in the least, but it was laughable when Brad and Angelina claimed that they were the ones who conceived without the use of IVF.

Paging Dr. Mengele.

[flowereater]

Twins are the new Chin.e.se babies in Hollywood. Are these people all seeing the same fertility doctor??

[andyg]

IVF has a history of multi births.

[harriettubman]

No, just IVF. They keep trying until it works.

[dnddays]

Obviously, she didn't manage to "do it on a cloud" without getting pregnant.

[LeftistGuerrilla]

Molly Ringwald is the same age as me. If she is playing the mom of a teen that is about to have a baby, that makes me feel really old. My kids are 8, 4, 1, btw.

It seems like just yesterday that she was in Sixteen Candles.

I'm also the same age (39). I remember having the biggest crush on Molly when I was like 15. She's still very cute today.

[GoodwithWood]

In this photo she looks a lot like Sara from CSI.

[MelodyCA]

I had a 16 Candles Poster on my wall!

And I had a MAD crush on Michael Schoffling. I think every girl back in high school wanted a Jake Ryan. LOL

This could make for an interesting plot twist in The Secret Life of an American Teenager. :)

You just reminded me that I need to start watching that show!
