**Pixie** · 8th October 2006, 02:37

To her 19 year old bf
Why is this not a surprise?

Yup, just keep on perpetuatin' that warrior gene.

Good to see that she wasn't faking the gen-yew-eyne Maori approach just for the film, like.

And... now she's going to play the Virgin Mary?

ROOOOFL. She'll have to change her typecasting for that role. I don't think 'putting the bash on the Magi' is quite what the director will be after.

She should have stuck to riding whales.
I guess she won't need the DPB with all the loot she made from the movie.

I must confess I was a bit surprised to hear the news - getting pregnant at 16 is not exactly the way to make it big (pardon the pun!) in the film industry. Hell, 16 is not much more than a baby herself. Reckons the guy is her childhood sweetheart - fine, no problem with that, but I think if she was my daughter I'd want her to have seen a bit more of life before she saddled herself with a kid.

You would've thought that she wouldn't have the time to hook up with her bf. She's supposedly too busy making movies and stuff. So stereotypicaly common though. Sad.

Yes, sad to hear. I cracked up when I heard a lady on the radio say that Keisha will make a good role model for young Mums. (TUI!!) As if we havent got enough of a problem with the teenage pregnancy rate in NZ. Now teens will say if Keisha can do it why can't I, its OK cause Keisha did it!!! Yes a great role indeed.

This is disgusting. What message does this send? As if young maori girls needed any more motivation to breed.

She was an accidental star and will be short lived. By the time her acting career is over, she'll have 7 kids and will be an honorary member of the DPB.

Cept they will be in a low or no income family situation if they are living at home at all and will become another drain on our society

Her life to do with it as she wishes, although everyone these days feels the need to voice their opninion. Good luck to her and I hope the b/f sticks with her and the baby is a healthy one.
