It’s time once again to congratulate those celebrities entering into parenthood.

• Marisa Nichols: The 24 actress and her husband became first time parents earlier today. Nichols and Taron Lexton, a director, welcomed a baby girl just after 2 AM this morning. Although Rain India Lexton wasn’t expected to arrive until October, she still weighed in at healthy 7 lbs., 5 oz.
• Andrew Firestone: The former Bachelor and his new wife, Ivana, have just announced that they are expecting. This news comes just months after their July wedding. The baby - who was apparently conceived right after the nuptials - is due in mid-April. Andrew, who was once engaged to contestant Jen Schefft, has been with Ivana since early 2005.

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Features

Lynne Spears, mother to Britney and Jamie Lynn, has been making the media rounds to promote her book “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World,” but she has a few things to say about politics and teen pregnancy, too. This celebrity mom isn’t afraid to use her turn in the spotlight to talk about touchy subjects, and how she compares (or doesn’t) to potential Vice President Sarah Palin.

In an interview with Newsweek, Spears sounds off about the difference in the way the media covered two somewhat similar stories: Jamie Lynne Spears, 16, pregnant and unwed and Bristol Palin, 17, pregnant and unwed.

Hollywood Baby Roundup (9/9/08)

Ladies and gents - it’s time once again to recap those celebs currently heading toward parenthood. (Who knew a list written just two weeks ago would already be outdated?)

• Usher: Sources are reporting that the musician and his wife, Tameka Foster, are already expecting their second child. The newlyweds, who were married last fall, welcomed a son, Usher Raymond V, just 10 months ago. With any luck, the two will be saying hello to their first daughter this time around. Otherwise, we may be introduced to Usher Raymond VI sooner than expected.
• Minnie Driver: The 38-year-old Riches star became a first-time mother this past weekend. Henry Story Driver, who weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs., 12 oz., was born Friday in Los Angeles. The unmarried actress has opted against publicly naming the father of her child.

Jennifer Garner Finally Confirms Pregnancy

This was a mystery we didn’t even need Sydney Bristow to figure out.

After months of using props to hide her belly, Jennifer Garner finally confirmed that she is once again pregnant.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, the former Alias star said that she is looking forward to the latest addition.  “It’s all good, it’s great. I’m really excited.”

So what did Garner, 36, think about all the buzz surrounding her growing stomach? “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,” she said.

This will be the second child for Jennifer and 36-year-old Ben Affleck. Their always smiling daughter, Violet, will turn three this December.

Brangelina Shoos Johnny Depp Out of France

When Johnny Depp ran to France to escape the paparazzi, I’m sure he never would have imagined having to leave his tranquil paradise. Unfortunately, the very private Pirates of the Caribbean star has come to face this nightmare upon Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s recent move to the beautiful country, which forced many of their die-hard paparazzo to follow suit.

Judging by recent pictures taken of the former heartthrob, I would say that it’s safe to say that he is upset at the large influx of cameras around southern France.

His solution? Pack up and move to England!

Lisa Marie Presley Also Pregnant with Twins

Posted by Veronica Santiago

There’s definitely something in the water out there.

After months of speculation, Lisa Marie Presley has finally confirmed the obvious. Yes, she’s pregnant. And guess what? She too is expecting twins! The children - her first with husband Michael Lockwood - will be the singer’s third and fourth.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Priscilla Presley explained why her daughter kept mum until now:

“She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time, you know, and I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they’re having and when it’s time to make the announcement.”

And while I totally support a woman’s right to say what she wants, did Lisa Marie really have to wait this long before announcing her fall births? The 40-year-old’s rapid weight gain was the most conspicuous thing since Jennifer Lopez’s so-not-secret pregnancy.

After leaving Brangelina fans on the edge of their seats (myself included) for weeks without seeing their twins, the couple have decided that it is finally time to introduce them to the world.

Much to no one’s surprise, People magazine won the bidding rights to the twins’ photo shoot in the U.S. and Canada, and Hello! magazine won the international rights. Although there has been no official release as to the amount, sources have claimed the figure is around $14 million.

Compared to previous biddings on babies like their older sister Shiloh ($4 million) and Jennifer Lopez’s twins ($6 million), the Jolie-Pitt twins have definitely set a new record for costing a magazine so much.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell: More Twins on the Way

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Television, Pregnancies

In 2008, we’ve already welcomed sets of tots from Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie. Now another beauty is soon going to be a mother of twins.

According to People, Rebecca Romijn and husband Jerry O’Connell are expecting their own pair later this winter. The arrivals will be the first children for the couple married in July 2007.

Coincidentally, the pregnancy comes as Romijn’s schedule is reportedly being cut back on Ugly Betty. The actress - who joined the cast in 2007 - will now only have a recurring role in the series.

I guess that’ll spare ABC the trouble of having to explain Alexis Meade’s growing belly!

When Jack Black (accidentally) told everyone that Brangelina was going to have a ‘Brady Brunch’-esque family soon, the comedian apparently wasn’t joking. Angelina Jolie gave birth to another son and daughter via C-section yesterday in France.

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline - who both weighed in around 5 lbs. each - make a total of three boys and three girls for the Jolie-Pitt clan. Brad Pitt and Angelina already have one daughter (Shiloh, 2) and three adopted children (Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3).

According to Angelina’s doctor, the surgery went smoothly. “Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well,” said Dr. Michael Sussman.

The Wanted actress is expected to remain at the hospital in Nice for a few more days.
