I normally don’t get caught up in all the hype surrounding celebs. But the mass fallout from the Brit’s latest escapade has me wondering why isn’t anyone asking the obvious. We’re looking at the public undoing of a young “new mother”! Could there be a possibility of postpartum blues and/or some other chemistry gone awry within the woman’s system due to the pregnancy?

I’ll have the next thumbnail in the SunUrban series available once the situation is adjusted so that other people’s pics don’t show in my photo stream and image sizing. The folks at Flickr are aware of the prob and are trying to work the kinks out of the system.

UPDATE: Flickr has the prob fixed….
