Was Jude Law’s baby mama Samatha Burke hoping to be famous?

Samantha Burke, who is pregnant with Jude Laws baby, in Florida
TMZ has several photos of Jude Law’s seven months’ pregnant onetime hookup, Samantha Burke, posing with celebrities including douche womanizer extraordinaire Jeremy Piven and model Tyrese. Burke worked as a cocktail waitress in New York at a bar frequented by celebrities. Was she just posing with the famous people who showed up to get served or was this woman hoping for her own taste of fame? TMZ claims that she was more than happy to chat about her encounters with celebrities, but who wouldn’t be?

TMZ has obtained photos of the unwed mom-to-be/model/aspiring actress posing and partying with model Tyrese, actor Jeremy Piven and Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Stewart Bradley.

We’re told by several sources that until recently, Burke was quite the braggart about her brushes with fame… including the steamy tryst with Law.

[From TMZ]

This is the woman who held a press conference to ask for “privacy” in the wake of her pregnancy with Jude Law’s baby. She confirmed that she’s expecting his child, and has even announced the baby’s gender, due date, and name – Sophia. She more than happy for the publicity, but whether she intended to get pregnant for the notoriety and fame is up to question. At least one British paper claims “Jude assumed she was on the pill,” which probably means he didn’t take any precautions and is just as responsible for the pregnancy as she is – whether she was scheming or not. Another story claimed that Samantha was “innocent” before taking up with Jude, although that seems to have been planted by her people. For his part, Jude is taking responsibility and was described by Samantha’s rep as “responsive and supportive.” He first tried to keep Burke’s identity secret, although she didn’t accept that and had to have a press conference. I wonder how much she’s hoping to make from selling the first photos of Sophia to the celebrity glossies.

    Of COURSE she is. Lol. Seriosuly, she could have remained annoymous throughout all of this, but yet she chose to give a presser to introduce herself so there would be no mistaking who she was.

    The press is following her now and taking pictures, much in the same way the have made realities TV stars relevant (i.e. “The Hills” gang). The media’s attention is exactly what she was hoping for and is apparently what she is getting.

    Also, can’t she make money off of them following her around and taking her pictures in the same way Speidi make a fortune with their pap shots?

    She’s doing a “Sarah Larson” even better than Sarah Larson could do because this one managed to get an 18 year monthly payment for her time.

    Damn! I guess Jude likes big bottom girls ’cause I’ve never seen a woman gain such large saddlebags during pregnancy!

  3. princess pee says:

    Yeah. I’m not going to go so far as to say that she got pregnant on purpose (Jude: condom or vasectomy, there’s ways to prevent this); things happen. But is she looking to get famous? Hell yes. A press conference to ask for privacy is ridiculous, and if you aren’t already being hounded by the paps it is totally unnecessary too.
    She’ll sell the baby pics, she’ll write a tell-all memoir and do a string of talk shows.

    Is she looking to get famous? hmmm, lessee, I wonder too. 🙄

    hippy-hippy-shake, darlin.

    If my eyes don’t deceive me, she is leaving the popular downtown Pensacola lunch spot, Dharma Blue.

  6. Pole says:

    I feel sorry for the baby. I fear that Ms. Burke is going to whore that child out – unless Jude pays her not to.

  7. BlueSkies says:

    I wonder if she too has a profile on http://www.modelmayem.com. Someone should do a search.

  8. Pole says:

    BlueSkies – she did have a profile there. It has been removed.

  9. Katyusha says:

    I think the term “model” is used loosely, nowadays. Especially in this case.

  10. dubdub2000 says:

    I think that if you have a PRESS CONFERENCE to announce that you are pregnant by some actor (and then finsih by asking for the media to respect your privacy, which is like bait for the paparazzis of the world) then yeah, she was definetly hoping not only to get the big child support pay check but also some fame and probably some lame ass reality show.

  11. BlueSkies says:

    Thanks Pole. That site just is glamor shots, remember them? Any way, I found a real beauty there…

    These poor kids.

  12. Pole says:

    She’s certainly hasn’t appeared very classy so far.. I love how it has only taken TMZ two days or something to find pictures of her hanging on the arm of other celebs. So much for her family’s claims that she’s a little innocent girl abused by a nasty celeb.. *snort*

  13. asiont says:

    wow she is too big for jude :/

  14. Seriously? says:

    Maybe she should use some of that Jude Law money to buy some maternity clothes and stop stretching out that American Eagle shirt. How do I know it’s American Eagle? I’m wearing the effin’ thing right now.

  15. sheryl says:

    My god, yet another reference to the “Jude thought she was on the pill” thing…like that’s not some made-up tabloid junk, and yet people are repeating it as if it’s truth. People are so gullible for believing this. Jude isn’t going to say anything to anybody outside of close friends, who are most definitely NOT going to talk to tabs. He made his statement and that’s it, that’s all we know from his side of the fence. I think printing rumors like that is a way to bait his side for more statements from him, yet he keeps moving on doing his job and handling it quietly while all the baseless rumors and gossip bluster up around him. Good god, did anyone question why Colin Farrell’s fling got pregnant? If he used a condom? If he thought she was on the pill?
    Jude doesn’t need condom advice from anybody, given the fact that he hasn’t fathered any other children in the 6 years he’s been divorced. I think that speaks rather loudly against all the assumptions.

  16. Because I Say So says:

    Jude Law, Jeremy Piven and Tyrese were the best she could do? That’s a gold-digging FAIL

  17. DR.FUNK says:

    Annoying.The law should read that no woman can collect child support if she has a baby out of wedlock.That is unless an agreement was drawn up PRE-BIRTH.Of course no such law will ever materialize.Charge that to the fact that half of all lawyers are women.I bet the ranch that women would suddenly become meticulously responsible about using the 7 BIRTH CONTROL options available to them.That’s 7 BEFORE you even touch sterilization or abortion. It’s as if the feminist movement & 60 YEARS of research into absolutely safe & effective BIRTH CONTROL options for women NEVER HAPPENED.Congratulations on your VANITY PROJECT…bimbo.I’m sure when the child reads about his/her circumstances of birth 10 years from now…everything will be just grand between you two.

    Dr. Funk-
    Get a vasectomy. That goes for all men who can afford one. Most women don’t want your bastard children anyway.

  19. gg says:

    She is a berk.

  20. Ashley says:

    Of course she was looking to get famous. He’s an idiot for falling for her pill excuse. She couldn’t get fame on her own so banged Law and got pregnant. No one buys her “innocence” excuse.

    And as pointed out, nobody would even know who she was if it weren’t for her little press confrence. That was a joke. Law came out said he was having a kid and no one could figure out who the mystery woman was. If this trick would have kept her mouth shut, no one would have ever known (and I don’t think anyone would have cared. Jude’s not that famous anymore).

  21. Cinderella says:

    This huzz will be set. Paid interviews, photos, child support, Jenny Craig endorsements…..

    Tricks everywhere will look up to her.

    Dharma Blue got some good-ass sushi.
