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 →

Charlie Sheen’s New Boys and Guy Ritchie’s New Girl

What a difference a year can make. While some maintain he doesn’t deserve happiness, Charlie Sheen is having one heck of a 2008. Not only did he cut ties with former wife Denise Richards (though, when you are divorced from the other parent of your children, are you ever completely rid of them?), the same woman he dubbed “a pathetic example of a human being,” but Sheen also married his girlfriend Brooke Mueller and three months after the wedding announced that she was pregnant. Now, on top of all that, Sheen just confirmed that Mueller is expecting twins. Twin boys … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Lisa Marie Has Twin Girls and Helio Gets the Green Light to Race

After an eventful pregnancy spent battling the tabloids, Lisa Marie Presley finally welcomed twin girls into the world on Tuesday, October 7th. According to reports, mom and her newborn daughters are at home resting comfortably. Presley’s rep says the baby girls were delivered by C-section Tuesday afternoon and weighed in at 5 lbs., 15 oz. and 5 lbs., 2 oz. respectively. The singer reluctantly announced her pregnancy shortly after a London newspaper published unflattering photographs of her eating at a restaurant with her mom Priscilla Presley and commented about her “mega-appetite.” Presley sued for libel, and the paper later apologized. … Continue reading →

Untainted Hollywood

Just call her the anti-Britney… and Paris… and Lindsay. Fourteen-year-old actress Dakota Fanning is as pure as they come in Hollywood and the “Charlotte’s Web” star says she intends to stay that way as long as possible. Given the sordid tales of other childhood stars, who have been in and out of rehab several times before they could get their driver’s license, I would say Fanning has already far surpassed expectations. During a recent promotional tour for her new movie “The Secret Life of Bees,” the teen star made a pledge to refrain from holding up 7-11s, having premarital sex, … Continue reading →

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 →

Celebrity Baby Watch: King of Golf and Queen of Rap Expecting

Not together. Rather, golf phenom Tiger Woods and award-winning rapper Queen Latifah are each preparing to welcome new additions to their respective families. Woods will be a daddy for the second time later this winter, according to a posting on his official website. The golfing great shared the news yesterday saying that he and his wife Elin are thrilled that their 15-month-old daughter Sam Alexis will soon be a big sister. The 32-year-old, who is currently off the PGA tour while he recovers from knee surgery, says he and Elin are “excited” about adding to their family, though Woods did … 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 →

Star Updates: Twins and Tragedy

Somehow I don’t see a bidding war brewing for the first shots of Lisa Marie Presley’s twins. Yes, the King of Rock and Roll’s daughter finally revealed that she is carrying twins, but no, you shouldn’t count on seeing the bouncing bundles of joy in a 19-page magazine spread a la Brangelina’s double blessing. Lisa Marie’s mother Priscilla Presley was the one who spilled the beans to TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” saying that her daughter wanted to keep the news private as long as possible. And who can blame her considering the drama she endured during her first trimester. Months ago … Continue reading →

New Job for Mario and New Babies for Primetime Stars

He’s hot… and he knows it. Extra! Extra! Read all about it… Mario Lopez has snagged a daily TV gig as new host of the entertainment news show “Extra.” The former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant is replacing musician Mark McGrath, who, for whatever reason, was hired to host the show three years ago. Lopez’s appointment shouldn’t come as a huge shock to “Extra” viewers since he co-hosted the weekend edition of the program and contributed to weekday shows as a special correspondent. Producers say Lopez will take over the anchor spot when the show returns for its 15th season … Continue reading →

Celebrity Baby Brigade

While rumors swirl regarding his ex-wife being pregnant, Ethan Hawke’s current wife just popped out a new daughter he fathered. The actor and his wife of 3 weeks, Ryan Shawhughes, gave birth to Clementine Jane Hawke last week Friday in New York City, according to reports. “I expect that they should be very good parents,” a close family member told PEOPLE Magazine. “They both love children, and they love each other … I know they are thrilled.” Well, he already has two children from ex-wife Uma Thurman—10-year-old Maya and 6-year-old Levon—so let’s hope he loves children. And she used to … Continue reading →
