The economy may be terrifying and jobs may be drying up, but according to the New York Times’ Styles section, it looks like there’s at least one potential new booming career path. Ladies, maybe you could be the plain-looking nanny to a rich and famous family. (No hot chicks need apply.)
In a piece this weekend that’s so New York York Times Styles’ section it hurts, writer Laura M. Holson explores “The Nanny Factor in Hollywood Marriages.” Sure, plenty of American families seem to survive without Dad and the babysitter hooking up, but let’s look at the GROWING MENACE. There’s the recent implosion of Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani’s thirteen year marriage, replete with rumors Rossdale “had a three-year fling with Melinda Mann, the babysitter for their three sons.” And it was only this summer that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner consciously uncoupled along with whispers that Affleck, likewise, has been putting it to “the winsome 28-year-old who had cared for their three children.”
Is your marriage safe from winsome 28 year-olds? Is anyone’s, really?
