Keisha not on guest list for Vatican premiere

Keisha Castle-Hughes

10.30am Wednesday November 15, 2006

She may have played the mother of Christ in an upcoming film, but it appears Keisha Castle-Hughes is not welcome in the Vatican City.

The 16-year-old actress, who announced her shock pregnancy last month, did not make the guest list for next month's The Nativity Story premiere, despite playing the lead role as the Virgin Mary.

Director Catherine Hardwicke, actors Shohreh Aghdashloo and Oscar Isaac, and 7000 other guests will attend the event, which will be the first-ever film premiere in the Vatican.

The Nativity Story will screen at the Vatican on November 26, before opening in New Zealand on November 30.

The Nativity Story tells the classic tale of the birth of Christ, regarded by many as a cornerstone of the Christian faith.

I'm spending a lot of time on the net today for work (honest) and i keep bumping into interesing things. I HOPE this is merely some kind of stupid mistake on the part of the vatican. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of having a child out of wedlock, pregnant women need support. Or would the vatican rather she had an abortion instead?

listening to Nothing! Hey, I just realised Winamp's stopped... will fix that.
