Uma Thurman and kids

“Being an actress doesn’t mean I’ve not gone through every bit of what it takes to have and raise children. I raised my kids in New York City. They’re seven and 11, not infants any more, but I’ve pushed those strollers in the streets. Trying to raise kids on your own is not easy. It’s why I haven’t worked as much as I should or could have. It’s why I haven’t made a film in a year. But let’s face it, whoever you are, a girl’s got to make a living.”

Lily Allen Cannot Wait to be a Mom

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Pregnancies

Lily Allen can't wait for kidsLily Allen thinks that her best achievement will be raising children.

The “Not Fair” singer, who suffered a miscarriage in 2008, is desperate to become a mother and knows that she’ll provide her kids with all the love and care they need.

“I’ll be proud once I’ve had kids and they’ve grown up all right. I want to do it now. I don’t feel like I’m very good at anything in life, and I think that’s one thing I probably will be quite good at, being a mum. I think I’ll love my kids, and I think I’ll do it really well.”

Although she is keen to have children, the 24-year-old star doesn’t think that she needs to be in a relationship to do so and admits she finds it hard finding suitors. Lily, who is currently dating painter and decorator Sam Cooper, said, “I don’t necessarily need a man. It would have to be the right person. It’s difficult for me to find someone. I want to be looked after, and I also want to be with someone who is not intimidated by me and what I do. That’s quite difficult to find. That person would have to be quite successful and powerful. I’d like him to be proud of me but not impressed.”


Mika Cursed By Mother

Mika‘s mother put a “gypsy curse” on him—talk about motherly love!

The 26-year-old singer rented a lavish house in Los Angeles to write his second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, but his mom banned him from using it because it would bring him bad luck.

“She put a gypsy curse on me and said the more money I spent on comfort, the worse my album would be. Superstitious idiot that I am, I went back to the same old apartment I’d stayed in before.”

Mika says his mother has always pressed him to work hard and not take his success for granted. Although he agrees it is important to try your hardest, he admits that he has not always liked being under so much pressure.

“Money matters for me because I never used to be able to pay bills, which I can now. But to my mother, my career never has or ever will be about commercial success. It’s about discipline. Since I was 12 she’s drilled a quest for excellence into me—tirelessly.”

Cheryl Cole's mother still packs her lunchCheryl Cole’s mother still makes her packed lunches.

Joan Tweedy, who lives with Cheryl and her soccer star husband Ashley Cole, is keen to ensure her daughter eats properly while filming talent show The X Factor, so sends her off every day with pre-prepared meals.

A source said, “Having Joan on board will make sure there’s plenty of healthy food prepared for Cheryl. She’s making her small packed lunches so Cheryl can have a break during work and make time to eat. It’s very sweet.”

The 26-year-old singer is keen to look her best for the show, as well as for when she launches her solo career in the coming weeks and so has embarked on a new healthy-eating regime. In an effort to maintain her perfect weight of 117lbs, she has started munching on small meals throughout the day so she is always full but never bloated.

The source explained, “I think Cheryl wanted to find a diet that would help her feel good physically and mentally. In the past she’s been criticized for her weight and hated being under the spotlight for it. She seems so much more confident now. No-one is commenting on how skinny she is any more, just how sexy she looks.”
