Knocked Up Celebs

Newlywed Milla Jovovich is a busy mom to daughter, Ever.  And now she has a new movie coming out called the Fourth Kind. This based on real life movie has Milla’s character a model-turned actress plays a psychiatrist investigating the very real possibility of alien abductions. I have seen previews and I can’t wait to see the movie.

Milla recently caught up with Parade and talked about violence in the media, her daughter and being a mother. Here are the highlights:

On how she’s feeling good being a mom: “Before you have kids, you create so many problems that are centered in yourself. You’re thinking, Am I ready for this audition? Am I good enough? Now that I have a kid, it’s not such a big deal. Even if I don’t get the job, I know I’m going to be really busy at home. Being a mother to my daughter, Ever, is a full-time job. Now it’s all about my baby, her growing up well and getting everything she needs. Everything else is just a plus.”

On her message to parents: “You’ve got to know your kids like the back of your hand and make sure they’re honest with you and not scared to tell you things. I know when Ever goes to school I’ll be letting my little bird go, but I just want to make sure she tells me everything that happened, good or bad.”

On monitoring what your kids watch: “I think parents need to take a lot more responsibility than they do about whether it’s OK for their children to go to Resident Evil or any other movie with violence or sex or whatever. It’s really easy to blame Hollywood for violence having an effect on kids, but movies would have no power if parents would just set their own standards. And it’s the same with video games.”
