Cutest Celebrity Kids: Twin Discrimination?

Friday July 21, 2006
In a list of Top Ten Cutest Celebrity Children, Julia Roberts' 20-month old twins were ranked 5th. All of the other names on the list -- Maddox Jolie-Pitt (adopted son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt), Sean Perston Federline (son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline), Apple Martin (daughter of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow) and others -- were listed individually. Yet Roberts' twins were lumped together as a pair. It's another example of twin discrimination, where twins are not recognized as individuals or treated differently because they are multiples.
