One More!

Paula | Celebrity Babies, Paula's Take | Thursday, 21 August 2008

The stork left out one delivery yesterday!

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second little bundle of blue joy this afternoon. Just when we thought the baby names were crawling back towards normalcy, baby Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale pops out. He joins older brother Kingston, 2. What a cute family!

Can’t you just see the celeb designer starting a baby clothing line called Zuma?

PS - Guess who Kingston was hanging out with at the park yesterday?

Whoa, baby!

Paula | Celebrity Babies, Jennifer Garner | Wednesday, 20 August 2008

The stork was bu-bu-buusy today!

First off, Ricky Martin’s been living la vida loca (sorry, couldn’t resist). The singer recently became the proud father of twin boys, born via a surrogate. The babies are already under Ricky’s care and he has taken the rest of the year off to care for his new sons.

Angie Harmon and hubby Jason Sehorn are expecting their third child to add to their existing brood of girls.

Let’s also congratulate Sexiest Man Alive Matt Damon, who welcomed another daughter with wife Luciana. Gia Zavala joins older sisters Isabella, 2, and Alexia, 10 (Luciana’s daughter from pre-Matt). Way to be outnumbered!

The missus of Matt’s BFF has confirmed the obvious. ”It always makes me laugh when people say ‘Is she?’ ‘Isn’t she?’ It’s like eventually you will know, so just chill out for a minute,” Jennifer Garner told Access Hollywood.

She also said she and Ben Affleck are “so excited, obviously.”

Cruise Control

Paula | Celebrity Babies, Katie Holmes | Tuesday, 12 August 2008

A bit of a slow day in Hollywoodland and since I don’t feel like talking about teenage actresses’ jailed fathers - ahem, Hayden and Nikki - I shall devote this space to my new favorite budding starlet. 

 

Suri Cruise is without a doubt the most stylish little tater tot in Babyville. The 2-year-old has been attached to equally stylish mommy Katie Holmes as they shuttle between the East and West Coasts. 

  

Katie has been in New York City for a bit now while rehearsing for her upcoming Broadway debut in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. When she’s not in the theater, she takes her mini me to kid-friendly Broadway musicals, frolicking on the swings in the park, and hanging out at the Chelsea Piers. It seems Suri is getting the hang of how to deal with the paparazzi.

Look, she’s even got her pose down pat.

$14 Million Dollar Babies

Paula | Angelina Jolie, Celebrity Babies | Monday, 04 August 2008

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie Pitt, meet the world. World, meet Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie Pitt. 

People exclusively secured the rights to the first public photos of the world famous Jolie Pitt newborn twins - for a mere estimated $14 mil. Fortunately, the hefty price tag also includes 19 more pages of family photos, including that adorable picture of Shiloh holding her new baby sister. How precious!

“It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time,” Angelina told the magazine.

And, just in case you were wondering, the babies do have mama Jolie’s full, pouty lips!

Juicy Weekend Tidbits

Paula | Angelina Jolie, Celebrity Babies | Monday, 28 July 2008

Hello, friends. Here’s what you missed while you were sunbathing this weekend:

Shia LaBeouf was arrested for a DUI after his pick-up truck collided into another vehicle late Saturday night (check out the damage below). He sustained several injuries to his head, hand, and knee, though his mother tells E! News that the actor is doing “fine.” Uh, Shi? That little stunt you pulled is so last year.

“The Dark Knight” has shattered another record. The blockbuster, starring the late Heath Ledger, pulled in almost $76 million this weekend. This brings its total gross thus far way past the $300 million mark after only 10 days in theaters, surpassing the record of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.”

Adorable couple Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell are expecting double bundles of joy this winter. After announcing that they were trying to get pregnant just last week, sources say that the couple conceived without the help of in vitro and are expecting two girls (if this is true, then they must have known they were pregnant last week). Congrats!

Matt Damon and his wife are also expecting their second daughter together. Looks like Jen and Ben’s unborn (and unconfirmed) baby already has a BFF!

As if we thought Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt weren’t luck enough, their godfather is Bono.

A Picture’s Worth (More) Than a (Couple) Million Dollars

Paula | Angelina Jolie, Celebrity Babies | Monday, 14 July 2008

I suppose it’s time to join the circus. The Brangelina clan can now officially add two extra munchkins to their brood. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally welcomed their second and third biological children into the world this past Saturday in Nice, France, the coastal city where the couple have been nesting for the past few weeks. 

Angie’s obstetrician say mom and dad are extremely proud of their boy-girl twins,  Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline (ooh la la, tres chic). He also blabs that Brad was “very moved and very emotional” when the babies were born.  

What’s in a name? Knox shares a common last letter with his two older brothers (Maddox and Pax), but it is also Brad’s grandfather’s middle name, according to Usmagazine.com. Marcheline is the name of Angelina’s beloved late mother, who died of cancer last year. 

Meanwhile, a bidding war has ensued Stateside for the first pics of the famous newborns (presumably between People and OK!). Reports conclude that bids have soared to an outrageous $20 million!! That’s $20,000,000 for a couple of photos! Hey, I have a camera - where can I line up?

There’s no doubt that the Jolie-Pitts will donate the paycheck to a charitable fund (a French one probablement), but is this really a good thing? It seems as if it’s just setting the tone for future Hollywood babies and lucrative deals. Making babies is the new making movies, if you know what I mean…

More Summer Babes

Paula | Celebrity Babies | Wednesday, 09 July 2008

Jeez, this is slowly becoming a Hollywood Tots blog (with a little bit of Nic and Linds thrown in, natch). But seeing that there isn’t much else going on - besides Brit’s new collab with Madonna - I’ll give a shout out to Matthew McConaughey and his model gf Camila Alves

The hot couple welcomed their first baby boy, Levi Alves McConaughey, on Monday night. According to mama McConaughey, the newborn “has curly dark hair like Camila – and of course he has that beautiful olive skin both of them have.” Uh-oh, does this spell future hottie?

In other baby news, new mommy Jamie Lynn Spears poses with few weeks old Maddie on the cover of this week’s OK! magazine. She is quite cute, but check out how mature Brit’s litlle sis already looks! I’m rooting for ya!

While we’re at it, when are the Brangelina buns done?!

Another Summer Baby

Paula | Celebrity Babies, Nicole Kidman | Monday, 07 July 2008

Hope everyone had a great Independence Day weekend! 

A big congrats to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban for welcoming their first baby girl to the world. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (that’s a mouthful!) was born this morning in Nashville, and weighed in at a healthy 6 lbs, 7.5 ounces, despite Nicole’s small bump throughout her pregnancy. 

The proud new papa made time for this personal message on his website:

“Earlier this morning Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.” 

I have no doubt these two will make great parents!

Daddy’s Girl

Paula | Celebrity Babies, Nicole Richie | Monday, 23 June 2008

All together: awwww… How much does little Harlow look like her rocker daddy??

Looks like the 5-month-old tiny tot is warming up to the camera (remember her Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot?). Her parents are also house hunting in ritzy Hollywood and just bought a condo in New York City so she better get used to the paps. 

Oh, how I wish I was Harlow.

Look What the Stork Dropped!

Paula | Britney Spears, Celebrity Babies | Thursday, 19 June 2008

While I still haven’t gotten used to the idea of a pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears, the teenage star has popped her bun outta the oven!

Maddie Briann Aldridge was born this morning at around 9:30 a.m. in a Mississippi hospital near Jamie Lynn’s Louisiana hometown where she has been nesting for the past few months.  Jamie Lynn, 17, and her fiance Casey Aldridge, 19, have just bought a house in Mississippi to start their new family. 

The whole Spears clan was by the young mom’s side, including sis Britney.

 

Congrats and good luck to the new parents!
