Brazilan pre-teen idol announces unwed pregnane 1
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) — When it
comes to kiddie television, Brazilian superstar
Xuxa is no Mr. Rogers.
A former centerfold model, Xuxa drew mobs
of fans to her TV shows for children. Blond and
leggy in hot pants and thigh-high leather boots,
she would emerge from a flying saucer, blowing
kisses to a sea of screaming, sobbing youngsters.
That was a decade ago, and the show made
Xuxa Meneghel an idol of a generation. While she
has toned down the sexpot image, Xuxa contin
ues to break taboos.
Brazil has been buzzing about her since just be
fore Christmas, when she and her boyfriend, Lu
ciano Szafir, were guests on a national TV variety
show. Xuxa dropped a bombshell: She is pregnant.
The audience cheered and applauded. No
one mentioned marriage, a natural question in
this Roman Catholic country.
Szafir apparently had only a cameo role in
Xuxa’s production.
“No matter what happens between Luciano
and me, now 1 will have someone who is mine
alone,” Xuxa said.
The news set all Brazil talking.
“She’s wrong,” says Pammella Rocha Moreira, a
sixth grader. “It’s not important to get married, but
how is she going to raise the baby without a father?”
“It was the worst possible example, especially
for someone in hpr position,” says Valdecir Pinto de
Souza, a barber. “But this is Brazil, anything goes.”
Szafir, a model and budding actor, said he and
Xuxa are happy with the arrangement.
Businessman Gabriel Szafir said he did not
like seeing his son treated like a “luxury stud.”
Luciano’s mother, socialite Elizabeth Szafir, told
him he was behaving like “an idiot.”
Xuxa claimed she was misunderstood,ts
protest didn’t convince many people. Fora;
she had spoken about going to a sperm bail
less her Prince Charming came along.
. Besides, the “Queen of the little folks')
reach the top by following convention.
As a teen-age fashion model, Xuxashottoi
when she moved in with soccer legend Pelt:
40-something. At 18, she was posing nude fore
magazines and winning steamy beauty page;
She even made a blue movie in whicl)
played a governess who treated heryoungcl
with exceptionally tender loving care.1
movie is a collector’s item. In an attempt!!
brush her past after her TV career took of, ;
bought up copies of the movie and wenttot
to block any showings.
