Celebrities Celebrating New Life

Hollywood’s baby boom keeps sounding… The latest members of Tinseltown’s elite welcoming new life into the world include actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon and husband Michael Nilon. The well-connected couple welcomed twin boys last week, according to their publicist. Jax Joseph Nilon was born at 8:30 p.m. on October 18th and weighed 4 lbs. 7 oz., and Jaid Thomas Nilon was born at 8:31 p.m. and weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz. The twins reportedly came five weeks prior to their scheduled due date, but according to Beauvais-Nilon, her new sons are healthy and “just gorgeous.” The new additions were born in Los … Continue reading

Celebrities On Fire Watch

Olivia Newton-John and “Titanic” director James Cameron may soon be sifting through charred remains of their homes if fierce Santa Ana winds don’t shift or die down. The celebrities are just a handful of Malibu residents whose palatial mansions are in the path of a raging wildfire. Hundreds in the area have been forced to evacuate their properties, including the family of country music superstar Tanya Tucker. Other celebs whose Malibu mansions are in danger include Jennifer Aniston, Nick Nolte, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Howie Mandel, Jeff Bridges, David Arquette and Courteney Cox, Linda Ronstandt, Goldie Hawn, Mel Gibson, … Continue reading

Celebrities—-The Next Generation

Nick Nolte will be about 84 years old when his new daughter graduates from high school… but the actor says he could care less. Nolte is concentrating on the present and just enjoying the time he is spending with his new bundle of joy right now. Nolte and his girlfriend welcomed a 7 lbs. and 13 oz. baby girl in Los Angeles earlier this week. The 66-year-old “Prince of Tides” star also has a son, Brawley, from a previous marriage. Also getting used to having a newborn in the house again is “24” actress Kim Raver. The celeb mom gave … Continue reading

More on Elizabeth Taylor

Earlier this week, we lost a true legend – Elizabeth Taylor. I blogged briefly about her star as a child star then her transition to adult roles. I had just touched on her first four marriages when I mentioned Eddie Fisher. Oh, the Eddie Fisher thing caused quite a scandal. Fisher was good friends with Todd and when the young producer died in a plane crash, he offered consolation to Taylor, the young widow. Maybe too much consolation considering Eddie was married to Debbie Reynolds at the time. Although it was a sticky situation at the time, Reynolds and Taylor … Continue reading

Oh Baby! Giada’s Pregnant and Nancy Has Twins

Celebrity chef turned “Today” show contributor Giada De Laurentiis is having a baby. And to illustrate just how skinny she is, the almost 5-months pregnant Food Network hottie says she hasn’t had to buy maternity clothes yet. (If De Laurentiis wants to keep her female audience she should really think about limiting those types of comments.) What’s more, the good-looking TV chef revealed that she has been giving into her starchy cravings for months. I must say I was stunned when I heard the news. Giada is my favorite Italian chef. I have a couple of her cookbooks and am … Continue reading

The Miracle of Life–Hollywood Style

She’s a celeb who took no time announcing her pregnancy this spring and actress, designer and model Milla Jovovich did the same when it came time to tell the world about giving birth. According to her rep, Jovovich and her fiancé, director, producer and writer Paul Anderson, welcomed their first child, daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, on Saturday night. The baby was reportedly born in Los Angeles and weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz. The 31-year-old actress met Anderson while filming a movie. They announced their engagement in March 2003, but have not set a wedding date. While some stars … Continue reading

Baby On Board

Just call her the comeback kid. I’ve always admired former Growing Pains star Tracey Gold for her decision to go public with her battle against anorexia. With the help of her family and friends (and a hospital full of professionals) the actress overcame the disease, got married and started a family. You might remember seeing Gold being proposed to on national television in 1993. Her then boyfriend Roby Marshall asked Gold to spend the rest of her life with him live in front of her entire family (and millions watching at home) on ABC’s Primetime Live. They were married the … Continue reading

The Joys Of Celebrity Parenthood

Just call him Grandpa Reege. Or, The King of Grandpas. Either way, talk show host Regis Philbin will likely have a ton of funny baby stories to share once his daughter gives birth early next year. Philbin used his show, “Live with Regis and Kelly” to announce that his daughter Jennifer (JJ) is expecting her first child with husband Michael Schur in February. The couple has been married for nearly two years and both are TV show writers. As for what the couple plans to name their new addition, the grandfather-to-be had this to say: “It will be interesting to … Continue reading

Pop Culture Potpourri: The Green Prince and A “Star Wars” Marathon

THE GREEN PRINCE Prince Charles has made headlines for being “green,” but the environmentally friendly future king of England may have a hard time topping this next move. Less than 24 hours ago Madame Tussauds unveiled a new wax figure of Prince Charles to reflect his efforts to combat climate change. Workers at the museum designed a one-of-a-kind “green” version of the Prince of Wales by recycling wax from a 1989 figure of the royal and updated it with 82 pounds of organic beeswax, 55 pounds of clay and fiberglass. Artists also used organic pigments to color the skin. But … Continue reading
