"The Nativity Story", a biblical account of Jesus' birth, will become the first feature film ever to premiere at the Vatican this Sunday but pregnant star, Keisha Castle-Hughes, who plays Mary has not been invited.

psst . . .She is NOT married

Released by New Line Cinemas, the film, which is slated release in Australia on 30 November, will debut at the Vatican's Aulo Paolo VI (Pope Paul VI Hall).

Film director Catherine Hardwicke as well as actors Shohreh Aghdashloo and Oscar Isaac, producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, screenwriter Mike Rich will join 7,000 invited guests of the Vatican.

The event will serve as a benefit, with contributions going toward construction of a school in the village of Mughar, Israel - which has a diverse population of Christians, Muslims, and Druze and is located approximately 40 km from Nazareth.

1. What if it was an "Immaculate Conception"?? (nt)

2. Okay now that's funny. If I was pope, I'd handle it a little different.

Go ahead and invite the woman who played Mary--if she's pregnant let the little madonna soak up some applaud from the crowd: she's earned it and it's always beautiful to be a mother. Then, when the applause dies down, say to her, "when are you gonna get that fellow to marry you?" I'll bet that would get a bigger round of applause and would send a much healthier, more humanistic message than "hiding the preggo" does.
