You know when it’s a fabulous time to announce that you want to adopt kids? Right as you’re going through a multiple D.U.I/sex tape scandal. Nothing says “A+ Mom” to potential adoptive parents quite like a lady with a drinking problem. But that’s not stopping Vivica Fox from claiming that she wants to adopt kids. Her reason? If she had a kid naturally and things didn’t work out with the father, the kid would be a constant reminder of the bad relationship. Hey Vivica, thanks for giving all of us children of divorce one more complex.

Kill Bill star Vivica A. Fox is considering adoption because she never wants a child to remind her of a romance gone wrong. The actress, who briefly dated 50 Cent after splitting from husband Christopher Harvest, admits no man has ever convinced her that having a child naturally is worthwhile. Fox says, “I haven’t met anybody that I want to be reminded of. You gotta think about that for 18 years because, more than likely, you, as a woman, you’re gonna be stuck raising the kids. Knowing me, I’d have a baby by somebody I can’t stand and he’d (baby) look just like him (boyfriend). It’d be like, ‘Damn, here you come again today.’

Wow, it’s good to know what my parents see when they look at me. I think if that’s your outlook on children, you probably shouldn’t have them period. Funny thing about children… they’re actually separate, unique people and not simply half you and half the other parent. It’s pretty narcissistic to just see yourself and someone else. And let’s be realistic, you’re not just going to have them around for 18 years, unless you’re a pretty bad parent. If you do it right, you’ll probably see the kid for the rest of your life. I pray pray pray to God that Vivica was trying to be funny when she said this, and it just didn’t come across. It sounds like she’s not really wild about kids… or the inevitable complexities that come with them. Yet Vivica still seems to think she’d be an awesome mom.

So the 43-year-old actress is now considering adopting a baby and becoming a single mum. She adds, “I’ve gotten a little old to be walking around pregnant (but) I’d make a wonderful mom. I’m good with kids. I love kids. It’s just that (pregnancy) hasn’t happened in my life.”

I think her comments perfectly explain why a lot of celebrities don’t seem to make great parents. They just don’t get that it’s about the kids and not all about them. Generally when you see Vivica interviewed, she comes off as kinda crazy anyway. Those are the kind of people that make great aunts, fabulous godmothers, and awesome cousins. But they’re probably best when they’re removed from the kid by at least a few degrees.

Sorta-actress/former Dancing with the Stars contestant Vivica A. Fox has a new scandal under her belt – supposedly the actress was filmed without her knowledge while giving oral sex to an Atlanta gentleman. Though we enjoy mocking celebrities who pose for naked photos and then are shocked when they end up on the internet, being taped without your consent while doing something we all do – but that is nonetheless completely private – isn’t something to judge a person over. Except the man who taped it.

A boyfriend allegedly filmed the unsuspecting Fox as she performed oral sex on him, according to Internet reports. Atlanta blogger Sandra Rose contends that the man captured the act with his cell phone and that he later e-mailed friends the footage of Fox “on her knees.” One of those friends forwarded the e-mail to Fox, who has sought advice from “a friend at the Atlanta Police Department,” according to Rose.

But Fox’s manager, Lita Richardson, told the Daily News, “It’s not true,” without saying what part of the report she was disputing. However, an Atlanta radio personality, Porsche Foxx, “confirmed that her close friend Vivica Fox appears in a controversial sex tape,” according to Rose.

Various media outlets are reporting that the guy is anything from Vivica’s longtime boyfriend to a complete stranger that she picked up. It doesn’t really matter though – whatever he is to her, if he taped her without her knowledge, that’s disgusting. It’s unclear whether he’s using the footage to extort her in some way, just to embarrass her, or for his own bragging rights.

Vivica is certainly no stranger to controversy. She was booked on a DUI charge in December and could go to jail for six months. She also pleaded not guilty to two DUI counts in September. She was arrested in March for doing 80 mph while weaving through traffic on the Ventura Freeway, at which point she called the arresting officers “racist white cops.” So it’s not like things were going really well for her before all this. Vivica has often been featured on websites about bad plastic surgery for her bad brow job and lip plumper addiction. Before Dancing with the Stars, she was not getting any good press. Now it seems like she’s back where she started. Hopefully the video will stay under wraps, and Fox will get her drinking under control.

Update by Celebitchy: Here’s a link to a NSFW but PG-13 censored version of the supposed BJ video of Vivica Fox. It’s clear what’s going on. I hope she sues the guy who took this tape without her knowledge.
