"Potential US presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has criticised Oscar winner Natalie Portman for having a child out of wedlock. In December, the actress confirmed that she was both pregnant and engaged to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. During an appearance on Michael Medved&amp;#039;s radio program, the former two-term Arkansas governor insisted that Portman doesn&amp;#039;t deserve praise for becoming pregnant before marrying. &amp;quot;You know Michael, one of the things that&amp;#039;s troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, &amp;#039;Hey look, you know, we&amp;#039;re having children... we&amp;#039;re not married, but we&amp;#039;re having these children&amp;#039;, and they&amp;#039;re doing just fine,&amp;quot; Huckabee said. He continued: &amp;quot;But there aren&amp;#039;t really a lot of single mums out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie. And I think it gives a distorted image that yes, not everybody hires nannies, and caretakers, and nurses.  &amp;quot;Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can&amp;#039;t get a job, and if it weren&amp;#039;t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that&amp;#039;s the story that we&amp;#039;re not seeing, and it&amp;#039;s unfortunate that we glorify and glamorise the idea of out-of-wedlock children.&amp;quot; While accepting the &amp;#039;Best Actress&amp;#039; Golden Globe for her performance in Black Swan in January, Portman thanked Millepied for &amp;quot;helping [her] to continue this creation of creating more life&amp;quot;. Huckabee has hosted his own series on the Fox News Channel since September 2008. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
