Brangelina Adding to Their Brood… and Other Celebrity Baby Bumps

Baby lovers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt let a curve-hugging black dress confirm that they are adding to their growing brood. The dress—-worn by Jolie Saturday night to the Film Independent’s Spirit Awards—-hugged what sources close to the A-list couple are calling a “definite baby bump.” For months entertainment publications have been buzzing with Brangelina baby news, despite the fact that the parents of four children refuse to comment about adding to their family. The pair has yet to officially make a statement about Jolie’s pregnancy, but that hasn’t stopped several news organizations from announcing that the actress is due … Continue reading →

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”— Who’s Really Pregnant In Hollywood?

RUMOR It may have appeared to be a shotgun wedding, but “Private Practice” star Kate Walsh says her quickie nuptials weren’t due to her being due… with a baby. Rumors of the actress’ pregnancy surfaced last week when paparazzi shot photos of Walsh’s new husband (movie exec Alex Young) kissing her stomach. You’ll recall the newlyweds tied the knot on two weeks ago after a six-month courtship. It wasn’t exactly a lengthy romance, but rest assured the 39-year-old former “Grey’s Anatomy” star says she is not with child. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a family, but we’re not … Continue reading →

Why Celebrity Parents Are Going Gaga Over Munchkin

Most parents of babies and toddlers are familiar with the Munchkin brand. The company offers affordable products for the adorable droolers in your life; but what surprised me recently is the number of celebrity parents who have come out to endorse Munchkin products. Perhaps, I’m just jaded. After all, these are the same crop of celebs who don’t bat an eyelash at dropping $300 on a single pair of cotton PJs—for a newborn. Maybe, that’s why they are looking to spend less in other areas. Take for example, Munchkin’s new Jelly Bean slings and carriers. They were just unveiled at … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: Nicole Engaged?

Funny, I thought she has been engaged for a while. Silly me. I guess I thought that Joel Madden had asked Nicole Richie for her hand in marriage the day he found out she was pregnant with his child… but, apparently not. According to numerous reports, the Good Charlotte singer proposed to his baby’s mama on Thursday. The quasi-announcement came last night after Madden and his band played a gig in Virginia.

Make that king-sized ratings. According to Nielsen, Sunday night’s premiere of “Million Dollar Password” was the highest rated show in its timeslot. And Regis Philbin is taking all the credit. The 76-year-old charmer doesn’t do much on the show, but that’s what makes him so … Continue reading →

Two Hearty Crab Dips

Regis Philbin has made a point to plug the NFL match up between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants at the start of his syndicated talk show EVERYDAY this week. Which makes me feel less guilty about posting the recipes I am making for the NFC Championship game viewing party I’m attending on Sunday. Living in Wisconsin–where some businesses are planning to close early just so their employees can watch the game at home—-it’s hard not to get caught up in all the hoopla. But, even if you are not hosting an AFC or NFC Championship party … Continue reading →

New Gigs For Some Old Favorites

I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t fix what’s not broken. So, I’m not sure what producers of the 37-year-old PBS classic “Masterpiece Theatre” are thinking by reformatting the show. Producers call it a “new move,” which means they are doing more “sprucing” than “revamping.” Either way regular viewer of the legendary anthology series will have to get use to a new look. According to show producers, the show will be split into three mini-seasons, each with its own theme and host – one of whom is Gillian Anderson. That’s right; Agent Dana Scully from the now defunct FOX series “The … Continue reading →
