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

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

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”— Who’s Really Pregnant In Hollywood?

RUMOR It may have appeared to be a shotgun wedding, but “Private Practice” star Kate Walsh says her quickie nuptials weren’t due to her being due… with a baby. Rumors of the actress’ pregnancy surfaced last week when paparazzi shot photos of Walsh’s new husband (movie exec Alex Young) kissing her stomach. You’ll recall the newlyweds tied the knot on two weeks ago after a six-month courtship. It wasn’t exactly a lengthy romance, but rest assured the 39-year-old former “Grey’s Anatomy” star says she is not with child. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a family, but we’re not … Continue reading

Sarah McLachlan and her husband Ashwin Sood welcomed their second daughter last week. The newest Sood joins big sister India Ann who is 5-years-old. The actor who I watched throughout middle school try to get his costar to remember who he was (remember when Hope came back as amnesia ridden Gina) is about to be daddy. “Days of our Lives” actor Peter Reckell and his wife of … Continue reading
