The stork has visited Hollywood again. Actress Drew Barrymore has made a remarkable recovery from a troubled child actress with a drug and drinking problem to a beautiful, successful adult actress who recently married and gave birth to her first child. Barrymore married her third husband (first husband Jeremy Thomas lasted less than two months and second husband Tom Green lasted a little over a year) Will Kopelman in June 2012. Although Barrymore was obviously with child, the couple didn’t announce her pregnancy. They simply went on with their wedding and lives until she gave birth to a daughter named … Continue reading →

Yesterday, I was talking about new moms in Hollywood who have adopted. Trainer Jillian Michaels and partner Heidi Rhoades just welcomed daughter Lukensia after a long adoption process. But, apparently the wait got to be too much for the wannabe moms and Rhoades got pregnant while waiting for the adoption to go through. Right after bringing Lukensia home from Haiti, Rhoades gave birth to the couple’s son, Phoenix. Michaels told PEOPLE, “We’re swimming in babies over here.” Rhoades had initially opted for natural childbirth but after 27 hours of labor, the doctors deemed it necessary to perform a c-section. Michaels … Continue reading →

A few famous celebrity moms have recently adopted children. They are all at different stages in their life – one is married, one is in a same-sex relationship, and one is a single mother. Actress Katherine Heigl said adoption was always a part of her family plan, even as a little girl. Maybe that’s because she came from a family that adopted. Heigl grew up with her sister Meg, who was adopted from Korea three years before Heigl was born. She has said in interviews that she always wanted a family that resembled the one in which she grew up. … Continue reading →

When my son was little – eight months old or so – he would feed me. I’d put a Cheerio in his mouth and he’d let it get all soggy, then he would take it out of his mouth and feed it to me. It would gross my husband out, but when my son did this, I’d let him and begrudgingly eat the soggy Cheerio. After all, he was my baby, he didn’t know, and he was trying to feed me. Thankfully this phase didn’t last long. This week, we learned that actress Alicia Silverstone chews up her 10-month-old son’s … Continue reading →

Okay, the title of this blog is a bit misleading. The one time reality television couple is pregnant, just not with each other. If you’ve seen a recent photo of Jessica Simpson, you know that she is very, very pregnant. In fact, it looks like she is about to pop any day now. After much speculation, Simpson released the news last Halloween with a tweet that said, “It’s true – I’m going to be a mummy” along with a pic of her dressed as a mummy. Baby daddy is fiancé Eric Johnson. (This image is a work of a U.S. … Continue reading →

Actress Minnie Driver gave birth to her son Henry Story Driver on September 5, 2008. Like many celebrity mothers, she kept pretty mum about the birth, even refusing to name the boy’s father. And you know that when a celebrity refuses to name a father, it is going to be the talk of the town. For the past three years, people have wondered who little Henry’s father was. At the time she gave birth, Driver hadn’t been dating anyone that the paparazzi could catch up with. Today, she finally told the world that Henry’s father is…a writer for the show … Continue reading →

Very soon. If you knew for certain that former American Idol turned Oscar-winning actress was pregnant, then you were one of the few. Perhaps, it’s because the media was trying to respect her privacy following the brutal slayings of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew last fall, but somehow, some way, Jennifer Hudson has managed to escape a full-blown media onslaught regarding her current pregnancy. Yes, the 27-year-old singing sensation is going to have a baby. At least that’s what guests at her recent baby shower are saying. Several of Hudson’s closest friends spoke to Chicago newspapers over the weekend … Continue reading →

Okay, it’s not the craziest thing a celebrity has ever done. Come to think of it, Victoria Recano is technically not a celebrity at all. Rather, she’s famous by association, thanks to her job as correspondent for TV’s The Insider. Perhaps, all her mingling with other star parents has affected her ability to think clearly. Case in point: Why did Recano and her husband name their newborn daughter, Maximilienne Elizabeth Burwell, but refuse to call her such? The couple recently sent out birth announcements for their now three-month-old daughter, which features their offspring’s legal name in itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny letters, hidden … Continue reading →
