Celebrity Updates: Halle Opens Up To Oprah About Becoming A Mom

When Halle Berry called to tell gal pal Oprah Winfrey she was finally pregnant I would suspect there were screams of delight and a fair share of air kissing going on. When that was over I wouldn’t doubt that the legendary Miss O told the gorgeous ingénue to pack her bags and get to Chicago ASAP. I can hear it now: Oprah: “You better get on my plane and get on my show girl.” Halle: “Don’t forget to stock it with deep-dish pizza. The baby loves pizza…” Okay, maybe that’s not exactly how the conversation went… Regardless, the rumors are … Continue reading

Confession: Halle Berry

You’d think I would know better. After all, I spent 14 years as a television news reporter working under seven news directors who were all about ratings, ratings, ratings. Why then did I allow myself to get bamboozled? A couple of weeks ago I outlined a blog about Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry’s suicide attempt. Having read about it in Parade (you know the insert distributed in traditional newspapers) I figured it was legit. It turns out the information was accurate, but about 10 years old. So here I was set to write a blog about Berry’s confession and her … Continue reading

Fashionistas Turned Fashion Designers

Oh heck, why not, everyone else is doing it? That was my reaction when I learned Ashlee Simpson just got a gig at Wet Seal as a fashion designer. I wonder what big sis Jessica thinks about her copycat sibling honing in on yet another market she ventured into first? So, yes, the younger Simpson will indeed be launching a collection of T-shirts for the hip retailer. According to Wet Seal execs, Ashlee’s line will feature designs inspired by “her own personality, sense of style and album artwork.” The new collection will launch nationwide on April 22nd-—the same day Ashlee’s … Continue reading

Pop Culture Updates: New Name, New Show, and a New Life

You waited, you wondered, you might have even ventured a guess or two. Well, now the wait is finally over. Oscar-winner Halle Berry just revealed the name of her newborn daughter… Nahla Ariela Aubry. Nahla… say it with me… GNAW-lah. Yes, it’s pronounced very similar to the name of Simba’s gal pal, Nala, in Disney’s popular 1994 animated feature film The Lion King. Nala means, “gift” in Swahili. But Nahla means honeybee in Arabic. The infant was born Sunday morning and is the first child for the actress and her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry. The Academy Award-winner told TV’s “Access … Continue reading

Boy Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy

Let’s hear it for the boy… Three days after giving birth to her first son, Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced his name on “The View” this morning. Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck is healthy and nursing like a champ, according to his mom. Elisabeth called into today’s show and revealed little else than her son’s name (more on that later) and the fact that she was in labor “forever…four or five thousand hours,” but only pushed for 35 minutes before Taylor made his debut. She also said that her 2-year-old daughter Grace loves her new little brother and tries to feed him her Goldfish … Continue reading

Baby-palooza

If it were up to singer Thalia’s famous hubby their new daughter would be their fourth not their first, but the busy entertainer had other ideas.

According to the couple’s rep, Thalia gave birth to Sabrina Sakaë at 2:44 am on October 7th — after 29 hours of labor. The newest Mottola weighed 8 lbs, 4 oz, and measured 19.75 inches.
