Big Babies Bounce into Hollywood

Looking back at Minnie Driver’s pre-delivery pictures she didn’t look as though she was particularly heavy. While pictures can be deceiving (and the actress is relatively tall), I was still surprised that she gave birth to a nearly 10-pound baby boy last week. According to Driver’s rep, the “Good Will Hunting” star became a first-time mom to son Henry Story Driver last Friday in Los Angeles. Baby Henry weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs., 12 oz. and mother and son are reportedly doing “splendid.” As for the identity of the child’s father, well, that remains a mystery. Thirty-eight-year-old Driver … Continue reading

Hollywood Baby Boom—Ricky’s Twins and Matt’s New Daughter

Ricky Martin really is “Livin’ La Vida Loca” now that he is the single parent of twin boys. Who knew his hit song would be so prophetic. The 36-year-old singer apparently got tired of waiting for the perfect partner and decided to hire a surrogate to carry his new twin sons. In a statement released to the public yesterday Martin’s rep confirmed that the children (whose names have not been released) were delivered via gestational surrogacy, and are “healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care.” The statement also revealed that the actor-musician will spend the rest of the year in … Continue reading

Splitting and Quitting in Hollywood

SPLITTING Don’t look at Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the handsome duo say they aren’t responsible for the split between Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman. The late-night TV host and his funny gal ladylove of five years just confirmed that they are no longer a couple much to the chagrin of a few magazine publishers who had pegged the two as one of the most solid couples in Hollywood. Insiders say the parting of ways comes on the heels of 39-year-old Kimmel’s admission that he would like to be a father “some day soon.” Silverman, 37, has long joked that … Continue reading

Celebrity Births—Tony Hawk and Pregnant Man

Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk finally got his little girl… and he couldn’t be happier. The popular X Games participant and his wife Lhotse welcomed their first child on Monday, according to his rep. Kadence Clover Hawk was born in La Jolla, California and is the couple’s first child together. Reports say the newborn weighed in at 8 lbs., 8 oz., and measured 21 inches long. Hawke already has three sons, Riley, 15, Spencer, 9, and Keegan, 6 from a previous relationship. The 40-year-old skateboarder and 35-year-old Lhotse wed in 2006 in front of 80 friends and family members on the … Continue reading

Celebrity Milestones: Marrying and Expecting

MARRYING Actually, marri-ED would be more accurate. “American Pie” star Jason Biggs is officially off the market ladies. The actor tied the knot with actress Jenny Mollen in an extremely understated ceremony in Los Angeles last week. According to Star Magazine, the couple wed at City Hall a week ago today without a single family member or friend in attendance. The magazine reports that the pair “did not want to deal with the whole family thing because it would have been too stressful on both of them.” Rather, they went the ultra-private route, which they considered to be the “most … Continue reading

Not the Marrying Type

If I have to hear Anna Kournikova whine about how she never wants to get married I might scream. The tennis star made headlines earlier this week when she told reporters that while she has been dating her sexy boyfriend Enrique Iglesias for three years she has no plans to marry him… despite the fact that he has been proposing to her for the last year. What gives? Maybe it’s age. The ravishing blonde former tennis star is almost 27 while her hunky Latin lover is days away from turning 33. (Still young in my book.) Or perhaps Kournikova is … Continue reading
