Celebrity Moms Dish on Future Babies

Actress Brooke Shields is hoping 2009 will be the year her home gets a shot of testosterone. The 43-year-old mom of two young daughters reveals that she and her husband Chris Henchy are planning to adopt a son next year. However, the child star, who became a champion for postpartum depression following the birth of her first daughter five years ago, says she won’t be following in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps. Shields confirms that she won’t be adopting from outside the U.S.: “There are a lot of babies out there in our immediate back yard that need families.” Adoption might be … Continue reading →

Wedding Bells Ring for Trump

Will the fourth time be the charm for Ivana Trump? Frankly, I could care less, yet I still felt compelled to blog about The Donald’s ex-wife’s weekend nuptials. And no, it’s not because this is the 59-year-old’s fourth trip down the aisle. Nor is it because she is marrying a guy she could have theoretically given birth to. (Trump’s newest husband is Rossano Rubicondi a 35-year-old Italian model-actor who she has dated since he was in his late 20s.) The reason I’m compelled to write about the Saturday soiree is because of where it took place and who helped foot … Continue reading →

Celebrity Baby Talk

Babies, babies, babies. They are the talk of Tinseltown. From Jennifer Lopez’s rumored pregnancy with twins (announce you’re pregnant already) to Nicole Richie’s burgeoning baby bump to Halle Berry’s upcoming appearance on Oprah’s show to spill the beans on her new baby belly. And, then there’s Brooke Shields. The mom of two—-daughters, Rowan, 4, and Grier, 1—-says she is ready for baby No.3. “I would love it,” Shields recently told reporters at a publicity event. “I might have to bind and gag my husband [Chris Henchy] because I think he’s happy with the girls he has in his life, but … Continue reading →

Guilt-Free Shopping

Is there such a thing? I suppose if you are a multi-millionaire shopping is almost something you have to do so you don’t die with money left over. (Oh, the horror!) But, for the rest of us non-Powerball winners we tend to pick and choose our “necessities” carefully. For example, diaper bags. If you have a baby you need a bag of some sort to tote around the ton of infant essentials associated with a newborn. The bag needs to be able to hold the equivalent of an entire nursery, but you still want it to be stylish (even if … Continue reading →

Hollywood Politics

Well, I guess they can’t all be as outspoken as Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Streisand… New information is surfacing daily in regards to how much money celebrities are shelling out to their political preferences—most notably the ones who do it in a less conspicuous manner than the stars I mentioned above. The politically progressive website run by Arianna Huffington recently revealed how much cash big name celebs are donating to the 2008 presidential candidates’ campaigns. As you may have well guessed most of Hollywood’s A-listers are backing the Democrats. For example, Huffington Post’s FundRace 2008 shows that actress Jennifer Aniston … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Bad Neighbor?

I suppose when you own as many homes as Donald Trump you are bound to have a few neighbors who wish you weren’t part of the hood. Such is the case in California where the real estate mogul has once again upset his just-as-wealthy neighbors. According to news reports, this time the problem has to do with ficus trees. (Oh, to be so rich and problem free that trees are enough to set you off.) The Donald reportedly planted hundreds of the trees without the city’s permission to screen the nearby driving range from the multimillion-dollar mansions that border his … Continue reading →

Donald Trump: “I Quit!”

In what is being dubbed as a preemptive strike, real estate mogul turned reality TV star Donald Trump is not giving network executives at NBC the chance to fire him because—-he quit. Within hours of discovering his low-rated reality show “The Apprentice” was left off NBC’s new prime-time schedule Trump issued a statement that said he intended to “move on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate. Frankly, I find the entire situation rather hilarious. Here you have a network unveiling its new TV line up, Trump sees it, realizes his show didn’t … Continue reading →
