Salma Hayek may soon need rehabilitation for an addiction.

The actress, who gave birth to daughter Valentina in 2007, says she can't stop breastfeeding.

She said: "I'm like an alcoholic. It is like, I don't care if I cry, I don't care if I am fat, I am just going to do it for one more week, one more month, and then when I see how much good it is doing her and I can't stop."

Now that’s a real softball. Make that two softballs...niiiiice perfectly shaped softballs...

If I were her little boy, I would probably be victim of a self-inflected hair lip by now.......

I go back and forth between her and Phoebe Cates as the world’s most beautiful brunettes.

She is just a beautiful, beautiful, woman.

Salma, where were you when I was 19?

In order to get the atmosphere and ambience your looking for I think it needs to say ...

Need Milk?

[Ditter]

Maybe she knows how flat she will go after she stops.

[Lee'sGhost]

Me. I’ll take celebrities for a thousand, Alex.

Alex: Salma Hayek.

Me: What is, Got milk?

[DOGEY]

Me too.

I’d like to tell her what I think but I might get a bust in the mouth.

You’re falling down in your job, missy.

My brother's now exwife was a Feminazi member of LaLeche, and breast-fed her daughter until she was six. I said then, and say now, if you are still doing it by then, it's not the child that's getting fed.

Seriously, I don't dispute the value of breast milk, but my wife couldn't live with effort it became to produce, and boy, when she went to bottle feeding, we heard about it from my inlaw for YEARS. Just like a militant Vegan, it became the sole issue that defined that woman's life.

On a mathematical front, I had to take a local family newspaper to task last year over the difference between correlation and causality. They issued one of those "PROVEN: Breastfeeding makes your children smarter"-type reports, and I had to let them know it is near impossible in the real world to prove a one-to-one link with such a study, there are too many other variables. Perhaps families in the sample where the mother cares enough to go through the effort of breastfeeding are stay-at-home moms take the time to deliver 18-hours of input/stimulation to the child, or where parents are also naturally encouraging when the child's exploration of the world. You can't ID for certain that such a result is not directly linked to a similar situational variable.

Fake but accurate?

If she was my mom, I would be addicted, too.
