Hollywood Baby Bump Watch Continues

It looks like the third time is the charm for The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck. After struggling to get pregnant with her 3-year-old daughter Grace and 15-month-old son Taylor, the outspoken former Survivor contestant says baby No.3 came as a complete surprise. “We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it,” Hasselbeck told fans on Thursday’s edition of The View. “I didn’t even know for two months.” The 31-year-old stalwart Republican claims she had no clue that she was pregnant. Rather, she says she thought her fatigue and nausea were results of the hoopla generated by the presidential election. Hasselbeck’s newest … Continue reading

Celebrity Milestones—The Bad and the Good

So much for working things out… The much-ballyhooed semi-reconciliation between estranged couple Dylan McDermott and Shiva Rose is over. At least according to court documents. Court filings show the actor threw in the towel on his 12-year marriage last Friday. Records show the former star of TV’s “The Practice” officially filed for divorce six days ago citing irreconcilable differences. The actor and his actress wife have two young daughters together. They separated more than a year ago, and reports say in that time they tried to patch things up, but apparently McDermott wanted out more than he wanted in. According … Continue reading

Celebrity Weekend—It’s a Wrap

It was a great weekend for Britney Spears. The pop princess steered clear of car accidents, her house in Malibu is still standing, oh, and she regained visitation rights of her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden James. The singer was snapped cruising around L.A. in her damaged white Mercedes with her children securely strapped in their safety seats (bonus points for Brit) and a court-appointed monitor in the front passenger seat. This after a judge temporarily suspended her vitiation rights last Wednesday. Media reports say the judge removed her rights after the trainwreck was unable to be reached to schedule … Continue reading

Celebrity Baby Fashion

In a previous blog I told you about the tacky move made by NFL star quarterback Tom Brady’s current Brazilian model girlfriend. Gisele Bundchen sent Brady’s new son a $1000 gift basket featuring a onesie with the word “Supermodel” printed on the front. Catty–especially considering the current relationship between Bundchen, Brady, and Brady’s ex-girlfriend (and his baby’s mama) Bridget Moynahan. Anyway, back to the gift basket. The goodies were reportedly sent on the same day the famous football player mailed off his own gift basket to Moynahan filled with $2000 worth of baby items. So what exactly does one include … Continue reading

Celebrity “Real” Or “Rumor”: Babies, Babies, Babies

Real or rumor… Welsh singer Charlotte Church plans to give birth in a bathtub? Yup. That’s REAL! The 21-year-old just announced that she intends to have a water birth to welcome her first child. Church is due at the end of September, but she says she could “pop” at any moment. She and her boyfriend (the baby’s father), Gavin Henson do not know the sex of their child, which, according to the singer, makes the birth even more exciting. Church says she was inspired to have a water birth after hearing about how well it worked for her friend. In … Continue reading

Months after letting the world watch as she shimmied her way to a new figure on “Dancing with the Stars,” Shanna Moakler continues to talk about the pounds she packed on during her recent pregnancies. The 32-year-old mother of three says she is still not down to her pre-baby weight, but now the actress is revealing that she’s not sweating it.

More Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”

TRAVIS BARKER AND SHANNA MOAKLER SPLIT… AGAIN I’d thought this time they were going to make things work, but I guess I was wrong. This bit of news turns out to be REAL. The on-and-off couple is really done, according to reports. It looks like Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker won’t be living happily ever after. In fact, according to sources, they aren’t living together at all. PEOPLE Magazine is reporting that Moakler moved out. One source tells the magazine: “As far as she’s concerned, it’s over. She loves him, but it’s one of those relationships where they keep trying … Continue reading

Celebrity Baby Ba Ba Ba Boom

The singer whose music helped push me through all 26.2 miles of the Chicago marathon (and whose tunes helped me get over a split from my college boyfriend) just had a new baby. 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

Even More Celebrity Milestones

Music executive (and Mariah Carey’s ex-husband) Tommy Mottola will no doubt have a Father’s Day to remember… next year. His wife just announced that she is expecting the couple’s first child. Mexican singer Thalia shared the good news on her website late last week. According to the message, the Mexican singer is due to give birth in a “few months.” The 35-year-old singer says she is ready to be a mom and is excited to expand the family. In fact, earlier this year Thalia told several news outlets that she was finally ready to settle down and begin a family … Continue reading
