Helen Mirren and director Taylor Hackford have been together since 1986, but Mirren is firmly against having children because, she revealed to Times Online, she was traumatized by an educational childbirth film when she was a teenager. \"I swear it traumatized me to this day,\" she said. \"I haven\'t had children and now I can\'t look at anything to do with childbirth. It absolutely disgusts me.\"

Hottie George Clooney tells Heat Magazine, \"Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I\'m definitely not a candidate for father of the year!

margaret cho
Don\'t hold your breath for Margaret Cho\'s baby bump. Before the comic married artist Al Ridenour in 2003, she said, \"I do not want children. When I see children, I feel nothing. I have no maternal instinct. I am barren. I ovulate sand ... I look at children and feel no pull toward them, no desire whatsoever. Actually, my fiancé and I have seen some very interesting personal ads of 50-year-olds that like to wear diapers. So we\'re thinking of adopting one of these guys. A baby by choice.\"

lara flynn boyle
In 2002, Lara Flynn Boyle told Zap2It, \"I love children and I love men, but I can\'t commit to either for the rest of my life. I am a very selfish person. I had such a great mom and I know that I\'d never be that mom. I wouldn\'t want to bring a child into this world unless I could be. I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it\'s just an idea. And I don\'t believe that women can successfully have it all. I really don\'t.\" She\'s since changed her mind about marriage, tying the knot with businessman Donald Ray Thomas II, but she remains child-free.
