We’ve been keeping our eyes on Jennifer Garner’s newfound affinity for loose-fitting clothing and apparent growing baby bump as of late. And now we’re pleased to report that a friend of the “Juno” actress has confirmed that she is, indeed, expecting.
When asked if his former “Alias” co-star is preggers, Victor Garber replied, “Yes, she is.” He added, “She is five months pregnant. They are very happy.”
Sure, she’s happy as can be as the new mommy of beautiful daughter Honor Marie. But Jessica Alba confesses that the pregnancy process made her feel anything but desirable.
The “Fantastic Four” hottie recently opened up about her feelings during her term, noting how unattractive she felt. “I never felt less sexy. I mean, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world ... but I wanted to get rid of all the weight.”
Minnie Driver will not be delivering the baby she’s expecting in August in her native England. “Definitely not,” Minnie recently told Hello magazine,
“I’ve made my home in America. I love it.”
She added,
“I’m fully planning on having my baby there.”
The 38-year-old actress and musician, is excited to discuss her pregnancy and all things baby except for the identity of the father. Minnie who admits the pregnancy was unplanned, but happily received, also revealed that she’s still battling some first-time mom jitters. She admitted that she still thinks of herself as “a mess” who gives her own mother “a hard time,” and often finds herself wondering “How on earth am I going to have anything relevant to say to this child?” To that end, her game plan is simple. Said Minnie,
All I can do is take stock of the really good, wonderful stuff that I know and pass it on. I’ll try to create as much joy as I can in whatever form it takes.

This will come as a big surprise to many people. Clay Aiken has reportedly impregnated his gal pal, Jaymes Foster, an LA-based record producer in her 40s who oversaw a few of his album productions.
But before you get too excited, the couple may not have been coupling so to speak. The baby is said to have been conceived via artificial inseminate. Clay isn’t just a sperm donor, though, he supposedly intends to play an active role in raising the child due in August.

The Brazilian beauty was all about spending some money as she was seen at Intermix boutique in Los Angeles along with her boyfriend Jamie Mazur.
She’s a beautiful mommy-to-be, as well as a successful actress. And at last night’s “An Evening with The Riches” at the Paley Center for Media, Minnie Driver kept it light hearted while talking about the identity of her babydaddy.
She told press, “It’s the Easter bunny!” before joking, “I’ve never had sex.” But with a growing baby bump like hers, that’s gonna be a hard sell.
Ashlee Simpson and her Cher hair were on The Today Show this morning. She giggled foolishly throughout her brief talk with Matt Lauer. He asked her about “the rumors about expanding the family,” and she didn’t deny it but had a better answer than just saying it was an inappropriate question:
“That [rumor] has been going around for about a year now, so only time will tell with that… but I am giving birth to my record on the 22nd. That’s my new baby.”
She does look pregnant to me, and as both JayBird and I have said it’s certainly great timing for her considering that her album is dropping next week. She bugs the shit out of me for some reason, and this Beatlejuice getup she’s wearing on the Today Show is making me feel nauseous, like when I was three months pregnant.
Here’s the video of her interview:
And here’s Ashlee singing “Little Miss Obsessive,” which she says is what we all can become in a relationship. She really should stick to lip syncing.
Ashlee Simpson is shown at the Conde Nast Traveler 8th Annual Hot List Party on 4/17/08, thanks to WENN.
When Nicole Kidman initially confirmed her pregnancy rumors, everything was carefree and joyous. But now that she’s in her second trimester, the reality of being preggers has definitely set in.
The awesome Aussie actress gave a quick update on her status as an expecting mother on Monday as she arrived at the CMT Awards, along with hubby Keith Urban.
If the rumors are true, she couldn’t have picked a better time to get pregnant! With her new album coming out next week and an engagement announcement just days ago, Ashlee Simpson is carrying a full load.
Last night, the “Pieces of Me” singer was spotted out with her mother Tina, as well as a few friends, having an elegant dinner at da Umberto Restaurant.
Yesterday we covered Nicole Kidman’s glowing and enviably gorgeous appearance at the CMT Awards on Monday to support her husband, country singer Keith Urban, who was nominated for best male video. I said that she barely looked pregnant to me and many of you schooled me that all women show differently and that there are some women who don’t show until the very end of their pregnancies. I was big as a house from the fifth month on, so it’s hard for me to relate.
There is some speculation that she’s still using Botox and Restylane since she looks perfectly fresh-faced still, but others say that she’s got that pregnancy glow and it could be compensating for a lapse in visits to her surgeon. Commenter headache points us to documentation about Botox online, which says that they recommend against use during pregnancy, but that it is still up to the patient. Restylane is similarly advised against, but there are no definitive studies. It’s possible Nicole’s face just filled out during pregnancy. A Botox advisory site states that “Pregnant women who have enjoyed the benefits of the effects of Botox on the signs of ageing may find that this cosmetic treatment becomes superfluous during pregnancy, as water retention naturally puffs out the skin causing fine lines such as crow’s feet to become less visible.”
Either way, Nicole is looking great and you can’t underestimate the ability of a stylist, makeup artist and hairdresser to transform a woman.
Nicole told Access Hollywood in a brief interview before the show Monday night that she’s had terrible morning sickness. She also revealed that she’s waiting for her third trimester:
“I’ve had severe morning sickness…
“[I’m] good actually, really good. Waiting for the third trimester. Everyone says that is hard work.”
I don’t think you know hard work as a mom until the kid can start to walk, but that’s just my experience. I also only have one child, and I’m sure there are many moms of two children and more who would shake their heads at me calling just one child work.

Pete Wentz denies pregnancy rumors
A couple of days ago Ashlee Simpson’s brooding mate, rocker Pete Wentz, e-mailed MTV to deny the claims that his intended bride was pregnant. He likened the stories of a pregnancy to a “witch hunt,” saying that the press was all too eager to drum up pregnancy rumors whenever celebrities got engaged. When asked directly if he was denying pregnancy reports he responded “yeah.”
This was after he and Ashlee made a stupid parody video that featured Ashlee wearing a big fake belly and acting like a hick. The credits listed “and the unborn baby, as himself,” and Pete said “Street date, July 2008″ as if he was disclosing Ashlee’s due date.
Ashlee Simpson gets flustered, calls pregnancy question “inappropriate”
When directly asked if she was pregnant during an an interview yesterday, Ashlee said “Some things you want to keep personal.” She did even more verbal sidestepping when MTV news asked her about it, and again said it was a personal matter:
The newly-engaged singer also told MTV News, ” I just think it’s an inappropriate question to ask any woman. For me, that’s something that I didn’t ever want to respond to, because I think it’s an inappropriate question.”
Simpson, however, did not put the rumors to rest. “Some things, you want to keep personal, and I think that when people deny [pregnancy reports], it’s probably because it’s something they want to keep personal.”

People claims Ashlee is pregnant and planning a shotgun wedding next month
The latest and most legitimate gossip magazine to claim that Ashlee is pregnant is People. They claim to have a source that states that not only is she pregnant, but that she and Pete are planning to marry next month “at a friend’s house in La Jolla, California.”
Great timing for Ashlee
All of this news comes at a time when Ashlee could definitely use the publicity for her third album, Bittersweet World, which is out next week. You can’t help but think it’s all less than a coincidence that it’s coming out now.
Ashlee is shown in the header image at JFK airport on 4/14/08. She is shown below visiting TRL yesterday, thanks to Splash News.
Us Weekly is claiming that they’ve “confirmed” that Ashlee Simpson is indeed pregnant with Pete Wentz’s child. I don’t even want to imagine how much eyeliner and odd bangs that kid would come out with. I’m not totally sure that I’m buying the Us confirmation. To me it’s only “confirmed” when Ashlee, Pete, or their rep says something. To be “confirmed” it need to be said by someone whose name can be printed. But Us is going along with the story – and I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be true.
Ashlee Simpson is pregnant, a source confirmed to Usmagazine.com. The singer, 23, is expecting her first child with fiancé Pete Wentz, 28.
Simpson and the Fall Out Boy frontman announced their engagement Wednesday.
“We are thrilled to confirm their engagement and congratulate this happy couple,” a spokesperson for the couple told Us. “Beyond that there is nothing to say.”
Simpson’s rep had no comment.
[From Us Weekly]
I’m not sure how that’s different or better than any of the rumors that were floating around when they first got engaged. I’m assuming their source must be really reliable if they’re willing to call it confirmed. Let’s say it is true: I’m not sure what kind of parents Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz would be. She’s sort of a “I can lip-sync and blame it on acid reflux” and “I can have major surgery and deny it” kind of dumb, and he’s pretty “It’s a good idea to take cell phone pictures of 9/10ths of my penis” kind of dumb. They just don’t seem like the two brightest bulbs in the box, which makes you worry a bit. So I’m going to save my official congrats, pending confirmation by someone who’s willing to go on the record with their name, and the results of the couple’s IQ test.

As her due date draws near, Jessica Alba is taking all the necessary precautions to insure that she has a happy and healthy baby.
After stopping into the Rug Company in Los Angeles, the “Dark Angel” hottie headed over to Beverly Hills for a check-up and ultrasound.
Though she’s certainly far enough along in her pregnancy to want to sit back and relax, Jessica Alba is still all about staying as healthy as possible for her soon-to-be-born.
The “Good Luck Chuck” actress was spotted heading out to her local workout facility the other day with a gal pal, and she looked prepared to break a serious sweat.
Following a family lunch outing to Jack n’ Jill’s restaurant, a growingly pregnant Jessica Alba ventured off to enjoy a little shopping on what was a gorgeous spring day in Los Angeles.
The Sin City starlet and a few friends hit the shops of Beverly Hills - with Jessica toting around a few purchases in a white satchel before grabbing her car and heading back home.
She’s charmed the hearts of theatergoers all over the world, and now Minnie Driver is getting ready for a new phase in her life - motherhood.
The “Good Will Hunting” actress will be cramming in all kinds of career stuff between now and the summer season. She’ll be releasing a new album called “Seastories” and touring the UK, Europe, and the West Coast of the United States in the upcoming months.
Ready to give birth at any moment, Halle Berry was spotted out and about as she visited a friend in Venice, California on Friday (March 14).
As Halle left her pal’s abode, her shirt blew up in the wind, showing off her 9 month pregnant belly as she made her way to an awaiting car.
It seems like all of Hollywood’s female celebrities are pregnant - from Angelina Jolie, to Jessica Alba, all the way down the age scale to Jamie Lynn Spears! And the latest name on the soon-to-be-a-mother list is Minnie Driver.
Last night on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” the “Good Will Hunting” actress put an end to speculation that she’s expecting and just came right out and told the world.
Minnie Driver was on Leno last night, and she sang a song from her last album, “Seastories.” When she came off to talk to Jay afterwards he joked about her weight and she confirmed that she was pregnant.
Driver’s CD came out in July of last year so I assumed that the real reason she was on Leno was to confirm her pregnancy, but she also is promoting “The Riches,” her show on FX. The second season will only have seven episodes due to the writer’s strike, and it starts airing on March 18.
“Are you pregnant?” Leno asked, after joking about her weight.
“Yes, I am,” she replied. “I don’t know why they call it morning sickness… I am sick morning, noon and night, but it’s a fair trade-off.”
Driver said she likes being pregnant “more than anything else.”
[From US Weekly]
According to Splash News’ description with the picture above, Driver “told Leno that she wanted to keep the father private and away from the media glare.” I’m kind of hoping there’s some sort of scandal to go along with this one, like the guy is some famous married actor, but it’s probably just that Minnie doesn’t want a big deal made out of her pregnancy. She’s been followed by the paps more after the rumor came out that she was pregnant, and she often looked annoyed in those pictures. Maybe she just doesn’t want to become a target of photographers or the gossip press, and figures the best way to do that is not to say much.
Driver is 38 and this is her first child. Congratulations to her and the unnamed dad.
Here’s Driver singing “Mockingbird” last night. I am looking but haven’t been able to find the clip of her coming on to talk to Jay.
It’s quite obvious Angelina Jolie hasn’t lost her adventurous side with her impending motherhood.
The Beowulf babe was spotted out and about earlier today at a private airport in Austin, Texas, going for a joy fly in a small plane with her eldest child Maddox.
Making sure to keep healthy during her pregnancy, actress Nicole Kidman was back out running with her personal trainer in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (March 9).
Kidman, who was dressed in her usual black attire for the rigorous training routine, continuously checked her watch between strides to make sure that she was hitting her marks.
Trying to keep in shape, especially now that she’s pregnant, Nicole Kidman made Saturday and Sunday visits to her spinning class at Montana Avenue’s Revolution Fitness in Santa Monica.
Reports tell that the Moulin Rouge actress’ latest routine involves time on a stationary bike, along with stretching and a few other odds and ends.
Jamie Lynn and her mom Lynn in October, 2007
Getting pregnant at 16 is hardly the best example, but Jamie’s way of dealing with it isn’t the worst.
Jamie’s mother Lynn did sell the story of her pregnancy announcement to OK! Magazine. I’m not sure if that was the best move, but if someone was going to profit from the announcement, it might as well be her family. It sounds like it was her mother’s decision, not hers. Also, that way she gets to sell the story on her own terms instead of having people speculate. Since then she’s been lying low, although she was photographed wearing what looks like a Heineken t-shirt, which is probably not the classiest look for an expectant mother.
Jamie Lynn has passed her GED exams, and is planning on going to college.
The Zoey 101 star passed her high school equivalency exam about a month ago – scoring particularly well on reading comprehension – and is looking to take the ACT college entrance test, the friend says.
“She’s already got her diploma,” according to the friend. “She wants to take her ACT. She’s not wasting any time. People don’t know her. When she gets something in her head, she’ll make it happen. Everybody is so supportive of her.”
[From People]
I’m really impressed with Jamie Lynn – she seems to have her head on her shoulders and is doing a great job in a tough situation. I’m not saying the her way of dealing with the situation is for everybody, but I’m glad she’s doing her best.
Jamie Lynn has one thing over other pregnant teens of course: a supportive family and financial security. Obviously that isn’t available to all young women in her situation. She was also photographed outside of a teaching institute that has classes on how to care for your children, which is something all parents should do regardless of how old they are. It’s not all instinct, and at least taking a class gives you something to say to your mother when she tells you “Don’t hold the baby like that, you’re doing it all wrong.”
Jamie Lynn is due sometime around March 7, according to some reports, and she is said to be having a girl. She might be one of those lucky women who don’t really have a big bump, so she could be close to popping, but she doesn’t look quite big enough to me. She did say earlier in her pregnancy she lacked an appetite, so maybe that accounts for the bump size.
Picture note by Celebitchy: Jamie Lynn and her mom, Lynn, are shown at the airport on 10/6/07, thanks to Splash News.
Kate Hudson continues to wear loose clothing which makes it look like she’s trying to hide something. She is shown in the header image out at Nobu on Wednesday night, wearing a loose short dress that is puffing out in the right places.
At the dance studio on Wednesday she wore a big ‘ol red sweatshirt, which may have been just a comfortable cover-up.
But she was also seen at the dance studio the day before, and even though she held her sweater out in front of her she couldn’t hide something that seemed obvious to us.
We were calling her pregnant earlier in the month after she made several appearances for Fool’s Gold wearing loose clothing. It could just be her fashion sense and the fact that she’s gained less weight than I have the past year (I’m not going to lie to you, I have been hitting the gym trying to move some of that into muscle) so if we’re wrong on this one we’re very sorry. Kate didn’t look like she wasn’t pregnant on the Regis and Kelly show, but it was hard to tell.
If she is pregnant, people are wondering who the father might be. There’s a story that she’s been secretly seeing Owen Wilson again, but Life and Style also reports that she was seen out to lunch with an old hook up, Justin Timberlake. This could get interesting, or Hudson could just slim down in two weeks and we’ll be feeling stupid, but I don’t see that happening.
With her first child well on the way, Jamie-Lynn Spears was spotted all over Kentwood, Louisiana on Saturday afternoon (February 16).
To start things off, the “Zoey 101” actress headed over to the mall for some purchases, then making her way to Wal-Mart, where she picked up puppy “training pads”.
With a baby on the way, Jessica Alba is taking steps to insure that she’s doing all she can to create a healthy and less-polluted world for her child.
The “Good Luck Chuck” actress has been vocal as of late regarding the human responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint, and reduce/reuse/recycle.
Former “American Idol” star Jessica Sierra is no longer pregnant, according to a family source.
It’s not known if Sierra aborted the child or miscarried.
Sierra found out she was pregnant last December around the time of her arrest. She was charged with two misdemeanor charges of disorderly intoxication and obstructing or opposing an officer and two felony counts of possession of cocaine and battery.
Jessica can currently be seen on “Celebrity Rehab” on VH1.
Nicole Kidman was spotted out for a light workout session this morning with her personal trainer in a park in Sydney, Australia.
Kidman, who has struggled with pregnancy in the past - having suffered through both a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, is now through her first trimester with husband Keith Urban’s child and has a wonderfully cute bump to prove it.
A heavily pregnant Halle Berry was spotted receiving help back to her car by her bodyguard after paying a visit to a friend’s home in Hollywood on Wednesday (February 6).
The Monster’s Ball actress is excitedly anticipating the arrival of her first child with model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry this March.
It’s been thought for a while that Jennifer Lopez, 38, might be pregnant with twins, and yesterday her father confirmed that J-Lo is doubly fertile. I thought she was pregnant with twins because she might have used IVF, which increases the likelihood of multiple births. But apparently twins run in the Lopez family.
The rumors are true, confirmed by no less a source than her father: Jennifer Lopez is expecting twins. And it isn’t even a Lopez family first.
“Yes, twins,” her dad David Lopez said in an interview on the Spanish-language show Escándalo TV, PEOPLE en Español reports. “The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing.”
For David Lopez, the news means double the excitement.
“I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years,” he said.
[From People]
David Lopez says that he’s bought special azabache bracelets for the babies, which are a Puerto Rican tradition. The bracelets, make out of black stone, are supposed to protect the babies from the evil eye. Though considering J-Lo’s legendary diva behavior, I’m not sure the evil eye is the kids’ biggest concern.
Lopez has been spotted buying baby supplies for both a boy and a girl, which greatly increases our chances that we may be subjected to a Marc Anthony look alike. I swear to God, if there is a God, he will give them at least 90% of J-Lo’s genes. At least of the face genes. If one or both of those kids grow up to look like Marc Anthony, we’ll pretty much be able to end the debate about the existence of God. In less frightening news, Star reports that the couple plan on naming the babies Max and Emme. Well it’s no Pilot Inspektor (a la Jason Lee) but I suppose they’ll do.
Picture note by JayBird: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are shown outside their baby shower on 1/20/08.
The paparazzi at LAX airport yesterday were lucky enough to catch a quick glimpse of Angelina Jolie getting ready to get on her flight. And rumor has it she’s traveling internationally.
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress was wearing an all-black ensemble and carrying one piece of carry-on luggage as she made her way to the British Airways gate.
Some of the possible details of Angelina Jolie’s (as yet not officially confirmed) pregnancy are in the new issue of the National Enquirer. The Enquirer is a little shaky on some of the specifics, but according to them Angelina agreed to have another biological child with Brad Pitt before they adopted again. This was mostly at his request. However due to her weight… or lack of weight… Angelina was unable to get pregnant. The Enquirer speculates that she was truly afraid Brad would leave her, and sought the help of an in vitro specialist.
“Brad and Angelina are absolutely thrilled, but Angelina is also very relieved,” sand an insider. “She always knew having twins was a possibility, because Brad’s sister had twins. But after trying for months to conceive naturally, she also began to fear that she’d never get pregnant again. That’s when she went to the specialist. She really believes that the new babies will finally put to rest the problems in their relationship.
…the tension between them eased after Angelina agreed to postpone another adoption to grant Brad’s wish to have another biological baby, continued the insider. “Then when she couldn’t’ get pregnant, Angelina worried that Brad might leave her. Brad really is committed to the family and wouldn’t dream of leaving his kids. but that didn’t stop Angelina from feeling insecure.”
[From the National Enquirer, February 11th 2008, print edition]
The Enquirer really loves the “Angelina is so paranoid/jealous/insecure” angle. I’m not sure I buy it. She doesn’t seem to be ridiculously desperate to keep a guy, and somehow I’ve always seen her as the one who wears the pants in that relationship. I would think that if she really is pregnant, she’s doing it because she wants to be, not just because Brad wants more biological kids.
They go on to speculate that getting pregnant has been beneficial for Angelina’s health.
It wasn’t very long ago that Angelina had lost so much weight that her friends and family were getting really worried about her health,” said the insider. “And her eating difficulties definitely played a part in her deciding to get some help in getting pregnant. As it turned out, it was the best thing she could have done. While Angelina hasn’t been looking after herself so well in the last year or so, she will do everything she can to care for her unborn babies, so her health is sure to benefit.”
[From the National Enquirer, February 11th 2008, print edition]
Everyone is always saying that Angelina Jolie is pregnant, but the speculation really hit a high note at the recent Screen Actor’s Guild awards, for which Angelina wore a long, flowing dress that would hide any bump. For the first time in ages, she actually had some curves on her body. She and Brad couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and looked happier than ever.
Looking happy and relaxed, Angelina stuck to water at the function [the Critics’ Choice Awards], while Brad drank beer and others at their table downed glasses of champagne. Around the same time, the “Tomb Raider” mom was spotted visiting the office of Dr. Jason Rothbart, who treated her during her first pregnancy and delivered baby Shiloh in Namibia 20 months ago.
[From the National Enquirer, February 11th 2008, print edition]
While the Enquirer talks about the in vitro like it’s a fact, it’s obviously rumor unless Angelina or Brad actually come out and say it. Lots of women experience fertility problems, so it is possible. But I’d say at this point it’s equally possible that Angie got pregnant the old fashioned way - especially considering that she and Brad have seemed so touchy and grabby lately. Either way, it’ll be fun to see if we get a confirmation soon.

Ethan Hawke is about to become a father for the third time. The “Training Day” star has two children with ex-wife Uma Thurman, and he is expecting a third with Ryan Shawhughes, 27, whom he met when she worked as a nanny for his family back when he was with Uma. It is unclear whether the two are living together or engaged at this point, but Ethan’s camp says the actor is pleased at the news of his impending fatherhood:
“I can confirm and they are thrilled,” says Hawke’s rep Mara Buxbaum. “No further details will be made available.”
[From People]
In the fallout after Uma and Ethan’s split, there were rumors that Hawke was unfaithful, but neither spoke about it publicly. Ethan only had this to say on the couple’s split in a 2006 interview:
“To be honest, [fame] was an undue pressure on my marriage. I didn’t like being famous when I was single, and what it did to my celebrity status to be married to another famous person was a huge pressure — one I didn’t enjoy. And it had nothing to do with her. Nothing to do with her,” Hawke says.
[From Showbuzz]
Uma has been linked to a handful of rich suitors since then, but Ethan’s love life has remained very private. In fact, there is only one photo of Ethan and Ryan together, and it was taken in December 2007 as they dined in a restaurant in Manhattan. Ryan bears more than a passing resemblance to Uma. The NY Daily News’ Gatecrasher column says keeping the relationship secret for so long was a ploy to protect Ethan’s image.
“They seem to be trying to rewrite history by saying they waited a whole year, so they could look innocent when word that they were together finally got out,” an “insider” tells the mag.
“He [Ethan] was terrified, because he knew if Uma found out he was with their nanny, she’d blow up and the divorce would get nasty when it had been going relatively well.”
[From Gatecrasher]
While I don’t agree with cheating on a spouse—especially with a nanny—it seems as though both Ethan and Uma have moved on with their lives and manage to co-parent their kids quite nicely these days. They even schedule movie shoots around their children’s needs, and try to accommodate each other’s careers.
