Nicole Ritchie was photographed in Hawaii this week committing a big pregnancy no-no: making baby stew in the hotel jacuzzi.

There are, of course, going to be conflicting views as to whether or not a pregnant woman should lounge in a hottub because of chance of increased risk of birth defects due to high heat.  But one thing I have to wonder is:  why would you WANT to get into a hotel hottub with a baby on board?  You might as well have 20-30 strangers hook up in your bathtub, leave behind a fair amount of DNA, and then take a nice, long soak with your baby!

I feel a Britney Spears Parent of the Year award coming on…
