'12
I don’t know whether to feel sorry for this woman or to mock her. Either way, this story is kind of pitiful. You’ve probably long forgotten about a young actress named Alexis Knapp, just 22. She got knocked up with Ryan Phillippe’s baby and her pregnancy lasted longer than their relationship. She pulled some mild famewhore moves to make sure she kept her name in the press, including setting him up to be papped with her and leaking a few stories about him to the press.It wasn’t excessive, and she didn’t pose for a big baby spread like Jude Law’s crazy baby mama, Samantha Burke. Ryan seems to have been a stand-up guy when it came to taking responsibility. Alexis kind of stayed in the background afterwards, raising little Kailani Phillippe-Knapp, (yes she gave the baby Ryan’s last name as a hyphen), who turns one next week.
Well now she’s in the press again, and US Weekly has an exclusive that she used to date “Family Guy” creator, and now Ted director/producer, Seth McFarlane. So she doesn’t have a type, I guess, not that the guy isn’t highly doable. That’s used to date, and the story that US has makes it sound like Seth wanted to keep his relationship with her under wraps and gave her every lame excuse in the book. “I’m busy, I can’t be distracted from work,” etc. Then he broke it off and she went to US with the story. It makes her seem desperate, especially when you learn that she showed up at the Ted premiere all decked out and posed really, really hard. She probably thought “I’ll show him what he’s missing.” Sad.
Alexis Knapp — who gave birth last year to daughter Kailani with ex-boyfriend Phillippe — was quietly hooking up with the Family Guy creator earlier this year, an insider tells Us Weekly.
The Project X star, 23, first started seeing MacFarlane while she was pregnant (she and Phillippe split before she announced that she was expecting).
“She said she wasn’t really into it at the time,” the insider shared with Us at the premiere of MacFarlane’s big-screen debut, Ted.
The reason the comedian, 39, is hoping to keep their relationship under wraps?“He doesn’t want to distract from Ted,” the source explained of the first-time filmmaker. “This [movie] is his baby.” (When reached for comment, a rep for MacFarlane insisted to Us that he and Knapp are not dating.)
Still, inside their circle of friends, their status as a former item is an open secret. “Alexis said people in the industry know about it,” the source said. “She really liked him and wants it to be official.”

This girl is only 22 years old, if IMDB is right. She’s very young, and I guess she doesn’t know better. She got played, and now she’s letting the whole world know about it. She needs more girlfriends to tell her what’s what. Maybe if she had more honest friends she wouldn’t have dyed her hair that awful monotone blonde color either. She was so much prettier as a brunette.
This also makes me lose respect for MacFarlane. He’s 38 and he’s dating little 22 year-old hangers-on.
Here she is at the Ted premiere in a goofy dress and a huge necklace. Stay home and tell your troubles to Ben and Jerry, girl!

The blonde looks good, until you see the pic with her brunette hair. She was stunning. Maybe it’s for a role.

Agreed! the blonde makes her look like every other girl in H-wood and also like ALL of Ryan Phillipe’s Exes – Reese, Abby Cornish, Amanda Seyfried, other random blonde girls he has done.

Actually I think shes far more beautiful than all of them put together and the blonde is amazing on her. Both of them are morons for letting her go.

That’s so true. \I was just looking at her as a brunette and thinking how much better she looked. Just because you can go blonde doesn’t mean you should

Doesn’t she have those hyphens backward? Is she hoping that people just shorten it to “Phillipe” in casual speech that way? I think yes.

This really interested me too, but I think it’s kind of a great idea. The father is involved and acknowledges his child, and it seems like she wanted the baby to have his name and hers. But she’s the one carrying it/has primary custody?/wants to have the same last name as her baby. This is the perfect compromise. Ten years ago people would have been like “how emasculating” but I think it’s awesome.
Plus, if people do drop the hyphenated name, in my experience it’s always the first last name they omit, viewing it as kind of a middle name.

What’s wrong with you people. These two used each other. They’re both pathetic…What’s MacFarlane doing with a 22 year old pregnant woman??? He get’s creepier and creepier. Used to like him but man this guy’s sick…It’s bad enough that he’s screwing a woman that’s pregnant but she’s also only 22 and he’s 38…They’re both nutters. I feel sorry for that girls baby to have this wack job for a mother. Phillipe should remove this child from this pathetic thing.

She’s interesting and edgy with the black hair, but just regular and plain with the blonde. If she wants to act and stand out amongst the other girls, she should definitely stick with dark hair.

I agree with you, she is gorgeous with the darker hair.

Well she clearly does have a type: mildly famous and seeming to have money. She is the classic famewhore/gold digger type that hollywood no doubt is home to many. Sad and predatorial. She deserves to be mocked – yes.

Totally agree that she looks very beautiful with the dark hair. Completely forgettable with the blonde.
Also, I thought Seth was gay.

MacFarlane LOVES his girls young and stupid. He’s dating that idiot Trisha Cummings now. And Yes, I agree with others here that Alexis looks better as a brunette.

She is not gorgeous. She is average at best, and pretty cheap looking at that – both blonde and brunette. She’s done a disservice to all women by attempting to make herself relevant via leg-spreading only. You can tell by looking at her that she’s about as deep as a puddle and will probably subsist for the rest of her life mooching off the men she’s somehow ensnared. Classic little whore.

I don’t care if the two of them had an instant soul connection and realized that they were created to be together.
Guys worth as much as he’s worth don’t get involved with preggo chicks. Sorry, boo.

Okay, At the risk of sounding very…. naive, Where does Macfarlane get this rep for being such a player?
He obviously has a team of writers for each show so, all those offensive jokes are not hatched from his brain alone. I never see him in the press with ladies. (Not that I follow him much but I didnt follow Charlie Sheen either and he had women everywhere.)
I kind of got the impression he was a nerotic, lonely nerd. I saw him in some interview about how he is making a movie about astronomy and he mentioned he loved big band music. To me, that doesn’t scream “Douche Souffle” rather “Comi Con Fan”.
In any case, it is obvious she was being opportunistic, waiting until this week to break the news. And crashing the premire!
What does that even mean? She wasn’t “into him”, then she “really liked him.” I guess she found out he was loaded? This is girl needs to stop taking her pointers from the Teen Mom Handbook.

I agree, I think he’s as you said, a neurotic, lonely nerd (haha, it sounds so bad taken out of context). He probably gets the rep of being some sort of playboy because he dates a lot, which I think he does because he seems a bit… insecure? I don’t follow him much either but I saw an interview with Larry King (that awkward one when they were having dinner and Tyra Banks looked like she was about to beat the sh-t out of him) where he tried to defend himself a bit and I don’t remember exactly what he said but it was something along the lines of “I’m actually a really shy guy, I fall asleep every night with a book…”
People also seem to think that he’s a douche but I think he seems like a genuinly nice, hard working guy. There was a really sweet story from Time Magazine about how when Mila Kunis’ dog had died he’d drawn it from memory. The world needs more people like him, I think.

Maybe a dozen years ago he might have seemed like tolerable company, now he just smirks with Bill Maher and doesn’t realize his big band career was 35 years past due by the time he was born.

These girls really need too look up the definition of “dating”…

A poster above suggested that calling a woman a famewhore/gold digger/desperado was woman on woman hating. I disagree a million fold. As far as I’m concerned you “date” a douche as loosly plausible as the term is concerned to this young erm “lady” you get what you expect. You open up your legs unprotected within the first few dates and get yourself preggars – again you get what you expect. You keep the baby in order to secure alimony and the attention of your prey – again that is both stupid and predatorial at the same time. I’m a lady, I love other women, but be certain I will voice it when their behaviour is disgusting and despicable. These guys discard women like her like tissues because they can. You only get as much respect as you give yourself.

According to his Twitter MacFarlane has moved onto the blond bff from Hannah Montana, so maybe that was her motivation for the horribly dye job (if she’s trying to win him back). Also, yuck to that entire situation. Plus…blech.

This gal reeks of desperation. First Ryan Phillipe didn’t even believe he was the father of her baby because he knew that she is one of those “holler back” girl. He figured MacFarlane was hitting that too and he can also be the bio dad. Yikes..
Second, you show up to an Ex’s film premiere and kiss and tell. I like the part in the US weekly, where she says, she wants the world to know.. YEAH..you want this CURRENT girlfriend to know…
Those are some sad-assed high school moves Querida.
Gold digging fail..Go back to taking care of your baby.

I done with this thread but I just wanted to say I think the girl is damn gorgeous and that if I was a man I’d get a ring on that in a flash. Cant believe how stupid some men are.
almost everyone on here is judging her really harshly as if this sort of thing doesnt happen everyday in HYWD and beyond. Shes a gorgeous girl, nasty old powerful HYWD men are going to try and take advantage of that. For young young pretty girls in HYWD their face is their currecny. Thats the way t is there. Get over your indignation. As for me, I hope she goes really far. As Marilyn Monroe once said as soon as she became reasonably famous and secure “Well, thats the last D&*k I’ll have to suck.”
I hope she gets there.

Sorry…the girl looks and acts like a cheap slut…MacFarlane is satan…the entire situation is sooo sleezy. This girl needs to have her child taken away from her. Monroe was a slut too but at least she didn’t bring a child into this world and use it for alimony. This girl is ugly and a nutter too.
