They already list the most powerful individuals in the world, so why not create one that features celebrity children?

Tom Cruise: Target of Tall Tales–Is He Really Keeping Kids from Nicole?

Tall Tale #1—Tom Cruise is in Talks to Star in “Top Gun 2” Last week the Internet was a buzz with talk that Cruise had agreed to reprise his role as Maverick in the movie that sent his popularity soaring. Could it be that 22 years after he hit mock speeds on the big screen that Cruise would try to take off again? Not according to a spokesperson for Paramount, who quickly put an end to rumors that the studio was in talks to bring “Top Gun” back for another run at the box office. Not only has the film … Continue reading

ESPN, Apple, Peanut, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday… not in his court. A judge in Wellington, New Zealand is cracking down on bizarre baby names.

To Sell or Not to Sell—Movie Star Weighs in on Baby Pic Saga

Angelina Jolie and the two newest members of the diverse Jolie-Pitt crew are finally home. Well, one of them anyway. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline sped off with their mother from their temporary digs at the French Riviera hospital where they were born a week ago today. According to news reports, the actress and her infants slipped out of the hospital’s back entrance around 4 a.m. and sped off in a white van with tinted windows. No photos were snapped of the newborns, but you won’t have to wait too long to see Brangelina’s babes. Reports say an unnamed American … Continue reading

Was She Ever Really Pregnant?

I realize that Nicole Kidman has Amazon woman height, but I can’t get over how thin she looked at six months pregnant. And at seven months she barely appeared as though she had passed the four-month mark. So I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to hear that she has already returned to her pre-baby weight less than two weeks after giving birth to her daughter Sunday Rose. I am however, a bit taken aback by the news that just four days after going through labor for the first time ever and extracting a 6 lb., 7.5 oz. baby, Kidman was … Continue reading

TV Journalists Can be Hot Mamas Too

Nicole Kidman and Camila Alves aren’t the only hot mamas grabbing headlines this week. She might not have Alves’ figure or Kidman’s salary, but MSNBC Washington bureau chief Norah O’Donnell has something else that some women might envy—three beautiful and healthy children… under the age of two. Okay, maybe the last part is not as enviable as the first part… Truth be told, all three kids are not under the age of two. Actually, two of them are barely a year old while the other is less than a week old. Grace and Henry are O’Donnell and husband Geoff Tracy’s … Continue reading

Celebrity Babies: The Meaning Behind the Unique Monikers

Sunday? Monday? Tuesday? No, no, and no. It appears Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves have decided against following Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s lead in naming their newborn after a day of the week. Rather, the actor just announced his firstborn son will be called Levi Alves McConaughey. As I mentioned in a previous blog, in which I encouraged you to guess what moniker McConaughey would bestow on his son, the hunky movie star revealed his child was born on Monday at 6:22 p.m. But little did I know that the time of little Levi’s birth would play … Continue reading

Matthew McConaughey is a Dad

I sense a Hollywood hook up in the making. They were born on the same day, and who knows, in the future we might see them walking down the red carpet together. I’m talking about Matthew McConaughey’s new son and Nicole Kidman’s newborn daughter. Yesterday—7/7/08—turned out to be quite a lucky day for the superstar parents. PEOPLE Magazine’s former Sexiest Man Alive and his girlfriend of two years Camila Alves just confirmed that they are now the proud parents of a healthy baby boy. According to the actor’s rep, the newest McConaughey was born Monday at 6:22 p.m. in Los … Continue reading

Nicole Kidman Gives Birth to a Day of the Week

Maybe she was delirious from the pain of giving birth. Or perhaps she was just deliriously happy. There’s no real way to know (at least for now) if Nicole Kidman actually thought she gave birth on Sunday or if she simply likes the way the word rolls off her tongue. Regardless, her new daughter now shares her name with the first day of the week. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban was officially welcomed into the world Monday morning by her proud parents—-Kidman and country music superstar Keith Urban. According to reports, baby Sunday weighed in at 6 lbs., 7.5 oz. and … Continue reading
