Yet another Duggar baby is coming, are you surprised?


The Duggar Family is still news, because not only are they super prolific they’re still reality stars. Their show, 19 Kids and Counting, has its 11th season premiering next month, so I guess this latest announcement dovetails nicely with that. Don’t worry, matriarch Michelle Duggar, 46, isn’t pregnant again with what would be her 20th child. Her daughter-in-law is expecting her third baby. The oldest Duggar boy, Josh, 25, is expecting his third baby with wife Anna, 24. (I’m surprised that they’re in their mid 20s already, I thought he was only 20.) They are already parents to a nearly two year-old son, Michael, and a three year-old daughter, Mackynzie. Here’s the announcement, from People:

The pitter-patter of little feet may sound more like a stampede at a Duggar get-together – and this summer the volume is due to increase.

The famously fertile family of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting have another baby on the way. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s oldest child, Josh, and his wife, Anna, tell PEOPLE they are expecting their third child.

They are already parents to daughter Mackynzie, 3, and son Michael, 21 months.

“It is very exciting,” says Josh, 25. “It’s fun for Michael and Mackynzie being so close in age and this baby will be, too. We feel very blessed and happy.”

Anna, 24, had taken a pregnancy test when the family visited Asia for 19 Kids and Counting: Duggars Do Asia (premiering Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on TLC), but it was negative.

“I thought for sure I was pregnant and so I was a little disappointed,” she says. “But two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant.”

After confirming the pregnancy and telling Josh, Anna and Duggar cousin Amy planned a family meal with baby carrots, baby corn and tiny cherry tomatoes to break the news to everyone else.

“Josh and Anna are great parents,” says Jim Bob, 47. “It is neat to see their family expanding. I remember those days when Michelle and I went from one to three because we had Josh and then we had twins. It is a great start.”

[From People]

Read what Jim-Bob said about his third grandchild: “it’s a great start.” Three kids are “a great start.” You know that the pressure is on for these two to reach double digits and that they’re already behind their parents’ record. I hope they’re all happy and healthy, and they seem like a nice family in that cultish kind of way. I also hope that if Anna ever gets overwhelmed and decides that she doesn’t want to have any more babies, that Josh will respect her decision. You know it’s not hers to make though. Also, do you think these two are gunning for a spin off?

Here’s a clip from The Today Show with the announcement. Note that Michelle is back to her old hairstyle.

Charlize Theron’s casual jeans & zebra sweater in WeHo: gorgeous & simple?

Charlize Theron has just been looking so awesome lately. I can’t get over how her shaved head and subsequent grow-out has been the best thing for her “look” in years. These are pics of Charlize and her son Jackson at Pinkberry in West Hollywood yesterday. I love how focused Jackson is on the fro-yo. I remember… when I was growing up, there were always Dairy Queens close enough, but finally we got a yogurt shop just down the road when I was like 8 years old. Yogurt seems like the most amazing thing when you’re a kid! Like, your parents don’t feel so guilty about letting you have yogurt as opposed to ice cream.

By the way, I love how Charlize rolls in her casual outings – many, many Hollywood ladies should take note. Her clothes fit, they’re flattering, and I’m sure those jeans are super-expensive, and the amazing zebra sweater is probably, like, a thousand dollars. But Charlize wears it simply, so she manages to look both upmarket AND casual and cute.

Speaking of jeans, did you hear the rumor that Charlize is going to design a denim line? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Charlize and her stylist Leslie Fremar are “shopping the idea for a Theron Jeans line with denim brands, which would be sold in mass-market stores.” Doing your own clothing line – even if it’s a specialty like jeans – seems like a Katie Holmes-type move, which is to say that it’s something actresses do to stay relevant when they’re not scoring movie roles. But maybe Charlize will be different. Maybe this will just be an awesome little side-project for her and her jeans will be amazing. *fingers crossed*

Holly Madison gives birth to baby girl Rainbow Aurora, defends her name choice

Last week, Holly Madison gave birth to a baby girl. The father is Pasquale Rotella, who seems like some kind of shady Las Vegas type, and I think Pasquale is under indictment currently or something. Still, Holly has always wanted a baby, and I was happy for her. I didn’t write about it because I was waiting to see what she named her baby girl. And she announced it on Friday, and it’s a doozy – Rainbow Aurora Rotella. It seems like a super-hippie name, while at the same time it seems kind of immature, like what a 5-year-old dreams of naming a baby. Like, “I’ll name my daughter Princess Sparkle Glitter! Or Rainbow Pony!” Well, Holly heard that people were shading her baby name and she took to her Celebuzz blog to call us all “smug haters”.

I got my nails done Rainbow colors to celebrate my new daughter’s name!

I have always loved the name Rainbow. There was a girl in my school a few years younger than me named Rainbow and I was so envious of her name because it was so pretty and unusual. She was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I’m not worried about my daughter being “traumatized” by having an unusual name.

There are a lot of smug haters out there who bag on my choice of a name, but I don’t care about what they think. I want my daughter to be proud of who she is and learn to speak up and stand up for herself at a young age. I spent most of my life being a people-pleaser who worried about what other people thought or thought was cool and I don’t want that for her.

I couldn’t be more blessed to have such a perfect daughter and have never been happier than I am now!

[From Celebuzz]

Holly actually has a point. Rainbow Aurora is probably going to be a class full of Isabellas, Bellas, Emmas, Madisons, Emilys, Harpers, Sophias, Lilys, Mias, and Chloes. Rainbow probably will be one of the few Rainbows out there, and she’ll have to defend her hippie name often enough. I would imagine that at some point in her childhood, she’s going to ask everyone to start calling her “Rain Rotella”. And that’s actually kind of cute.

Jessica Simpson is definitely expecting a boy & she’ll definitely name him ‘Ace’

Last week, we heard about Jessica Simpson’s second foray into baby-naming. Us Weekly claimed that Jessica was dead-set on naming her second baby, gender unknown, “Ace Johnson”. Some may roll their eyes at this reporting, but remember this – everyone knew Jessica’s first baby name (Maxwell Drew) months before she gave birth too. She doesn’t keep her baby names a secret, and the tabloids find out and I have every confidence that this news is completely legit. Well, this week’s Life & Style confirms that Jessica is totally going to name her baby “Ace” after her maternal grandfather, and that she’s definitely having a boy this time:

As recent reports swirl about the sex of Jessica Simpson’s second baby, multiple sources have confirmed to Life & Style that the pregnant singer turned fashion designer is having a boy!

“Jessica is having a boy and they are going to call him Ace or Acy,” a source close to the couple tells Life & Style, revealing that the name will pay tribute to her maternal grandfather, Acy Edward Drew, with whom she was always close. “Her grandfather is honored.”

“She and Eric are still deciding on a middle name, but they want it to be biblical,” the source continues. “Jess is religious and loves that idea.”

Though an insider confirms that Jess, 32, has decided to put her wedding to Eric Johnson, 33, on hold for now, one project the Fashion Star mentor is moving forward with is her baby-clothing line.

The insider explains, “Now she can’t wait to start working on the boys’ line, as well!”

Even if her designs aren’t ready in time for her son’s arrival, he’ll still be the best dressed newborn because Jessica’s little sister, Ashlee, tells Life & Style she plans to give her nephew all of her son Bronx’s hand–me-downs. “I have a bunch of vintage shirts that I can give!”

[From Life & Style]

Was I the only one kind of hoping that Jessica would just have daughters? And that she would name her second daughter “Ace”? Because that might have been pretty cool. But calling a baby boy “Ace Johnson” just seems… I don’t know. Like, does she want her son to grow up to be a character in a Jim Carrey comedy? Or is this more of Eric’s doing? “Ace Johnson” sounds like an athlete, only Ace would be the kid’s nickname, and his real name would be Francis or something.

As for the Biblical middle name… Kenaniah? Shammuah? Mahershalalhashbaz?

Jessica Simpson wants to name her second baby “Ace Johnson”

Months before Jessica Simpson gave birth for the first time, the tabloids had already reported her daughter’s name – Maxwell Drew. I think maybe it was In Touch Weekly that got the scoop, but Us Weekly followed through and confirmed the name before the birth. What does that prove? Two things: one, Jessica is the kind of mom-to-be who decides on a name before she gives birth (as opposed to a mom who waits to meet her baby to see what name fits); and two, Jessica talks about the names she’s chosen to people who love to gossip, so the baby names leak early. What I’m saying is that I believe this Us Weekly story – Jessica Simpson is planning on naming her second child “Ace Johnson”. Urgmph.

Cat’s out of the bag! Jessica Simpson’s growing baby bump isn’t the only thing that she’s showing off these days. According to a source, the Fashion Star mentor is eagerly sharing the name she’s already picked out for her second baby with fiance Eric Johnson.

“[She's] told people she’s going to name the baby Ace!” the source told Us Weekly. Simpson, 32, is already mom to 10-month-old daughter Maxwell. The singer hasn’t yet revealed how she and Johnson, 33, decided upon the name, however.

Just last year, Simpson revealed that Maxwell’s unique moniker came about as a tribute to both her family and her NFL player fiancé’s.

Maxwell is Johnson’s middle name as well as his grandmother’s surname, and Drew is Simpson’s mother Tina’s maiden name.

“It’s nothing shocking and nothing you’ll have to add to the dictionary,” the bubbly mother-to-be told Elle last year prior to Maxwell’s birth and name reveal. “Still, when people hear it they’ll know …why.”

Simpson and Johnson first confirmed their second pregnancy via Twitter on Christmas day. And the expectant parents couldn’t be more thrilled to expand their brood.

“Motherhood is a dream,” Simpson told Katie Couric back in September. “It really is absolutely amazing.”

[From Us Weekly]

“Ace” is more of a nickname. Like, someone named George is given the nickname “Ace” because he’s really good at sports or something. Is “Ace” gender-specific? Is it ONLY a boy’s name? Is this a confirmation she’s having a boy this time? Imagine a little girl named Ace Johnson. OK… that might be kind of cute. In my mind, a girl named “Ace” would totally be a hellraising tomboy. A little boy named Ace… I don’t know. Ugh.

Hugh Grant welcomed his second child, a son, by the same baby-mama as before

Back in November 2011, Hugh Grant announced that he had become a father for the first time when a seemingly brief relationship with Tinglan Hong resulted in an unplanned pregnancy (?), a secret gestation and a surprise birth at some point in October 2011. The way Hugh’s confirmation of his daughter’s birth was written, it really did seem like Hugh and Tinglan Hong had only been together for a few months, and that they were no longer together but we staying on good terms for the sake of the baby. Then back in March of last year, Hugh spoke highly of Tinglan calling her a “Tiger Mom” and the gist of the whole thing seemed to be that he was financially supporting Tinglan (he bought her a house, etc), but that he didn’t want to give his daughter a trust fund.

So, the whole vibe seemed… slightly unconventional, but not flat-out awful. As it turns out, Hugh and Tinglan weren’t just being nice to each other for the sake of the baby. They were still sort-of seeing each other, at least enough to have more unprotected sex (because why not). Yes, Tinglan got knocked up again, and once again the whole thing was kept secret until now, because she just gave birth. Again. To her second child in 15 months. Hugh confirmed the birth via his Twitter:

He said, “In answer to some journos, I am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum. And to be crystal clear. I am the daddy.” So… what can I even say about this? Only Hugh Grant could get away with impregnating a woman TWICE and still be able to have a kind of no-strings-attached, let’s-not-get-serious vibe about the whole thing. Are they even “together”? Does it matter? Ugh!! I mean, congrats to Hugh and Tinglan. I want to know the baby boy’s name. They named their daughter Tabitha Grant (or Tabitha Hong-Grant or something). I bet the boy’s name is something traditional, maybe even Hugh’s beloved father’s name (which is James, a fine name).

UPDATE: They named the boy Felix Chang Hong Grant. That’s a mouth full!

Steve Martin, 67, has become a (secret!) father for the first (secret!) time

Last night, I was already making plans to write about Penelope Cruz’s pregnancy confirmation (we already knew she was pregnant) and Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas’s pregnancy confirmation (we knew that one too), but then as I was glancing through Page Six this morning, I was floored by some completely new pregnancy/baby information. First shock: Steve Martin is 67 years old (VAMPIRE!!) and married. Second shock: Steve Martin’s wife was pregnant. Third shock: Steve Martin’s wife managed to conceal her pregnancy AND birth and we’re only finding out right now that Steve has become a father for the first time at the age of 67.

Steve Martin’s become a first-time dad at 67, Page Six has exclusively learned. The “It’s Complicated” star and his wife, Anne Stringfield, 41, welcomed a child in December and have been spotted nearby their LA home with the bundle of joy.

“They’ve had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody knows,” a source said. “Steve’s very private.”

The source added, “They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby.”

The couple married in 2007 at Martin’s home in a surprise ceremony where guests, including Tom Hanks and Diane Keaton were told it was a party.

Martin, meanwhile, has written of his own dad: “My father’s attitude toward my show-business accomplishments was critical. After my first appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ . . . he wrote a bad review of me in the newsletter of the Newport Board of Realtors where he was president.”

But Martin wrote in 2008, years after his father died, “In his death, my father . . . did something he could not do in life. He brought our family together.” A rep for Martin declined to comment.

[From Page Six]

Well, congrats and mazel tov and all of that. Steve always has been incredibly, crazily private so I guess I shouldn’t be so shocked that he managed to keep his wife’s pregnancy and birth such a secret. As for the ages… CB was like “well, at least she’s not 30!” But I think an age difference of 26 years is still kind of… interesting? Let’s go with “interesting”. I hope Elton John sends Steve some roses – now Elton isn’t going to be the oldest dad at the playground.

As for the other pregnancy confirmations – go here to read Hilaria Thomas’s confirmation. We knew she was knocked up already, but it’s still nice they confirmed it. Alec Baldwin is going to be a father again… let’s hope this time goes better. Alec is 54 years old – Hilaria is 28 (side-eye). And Penelope Cruz confirmed her second pregnancy to Hola Mag too. Penelope is 38 years old –Javier Bardem is 43 years old.

Harper Seven, Marlowe Sturridge & Jackson Theron: the cutest baby post ever?

I’m declaring yesterday to be Retroactive Celebrity Hive-Mind Day. Several celebrities officially announced their pregnancies (which we already knew about, and I’ll do that post in a minute) and several celebrity moms did nice photo-ops with their babies. This is the baby post. The Baby Post To End All Baby Posts! This is the baby post which will leave your ovaries swirling and crying. Or something. If you’re anything like me, baby photos are as close as you want to come to actual babies.

Let’s start things off with fan-favorite Harper Seven Beckham, who was with her mom Victoria in Manhattan for New York Fashion Week. Posh’s label was widely acclaimed, but Harper is all “talk to the hand”.

Next up: Sienna Miller and baby Marlowe in NYC as well. Marlowe is a brunette! And she looks more like Tom Sturridge than Sienna I think.

And finally Charlize Theron and baby Jackson. He’s only like 13 or 14 months old I think. He’s big for his age, right? Another long, leggy baby. I LOVE his baby-flannel.

Gisele Bundchen debuts 2-month-old baby Vivian Lake Brady: so adorable!

I keep forgetting that Gisele just gave birth two months ago. It really was two months ago exactly – yesterday. I guess Gisele’s second pregnancy was much more low-key, and Gisele hasn’t been out and about immediately after giving birth, telling us how easy it was for her and how she was back to her pre-baby weight in a week. Anyway, Gisele decided to introduce us to her baby girl Vivian Lake Brady via her Facebook page. Can I just say? I like when celebrities post “baby’s first celebrity photo” on their Facebook or website. I prefer it to the other ways, like hiding the baby neurotically or selling the first photos to a tabloid. I think Facebook baby pics are a happy medium of “being a proud and happy parent” and “acknowledging that people are interested in seeing the baby.”

Anyway, Vivian Lake Brady is a little cutie. She’s a perfect blend of leggy and chubby, right? Those are some LONG legs for a two-month old baby, right? But she’s still got the whole chubby-baby thing too. I bet Vivian is always going to be the tallest kid in her class. I never was… sigh. She’s going to be such a beauty. Gisele posted the photo with the message “Love is everything!!! Happy Friday, much love to all.” Gisele delivered Vivian via another home birth in Boston. And I think the whole Brady family is currently vacationing in Hawaii.

Also: yesterday I told you in the links that Gisele is the new face of Chanel cosmetics. Well, here’s the commercial. It’s pretty!

Are Alec Baldwin & Hilaria Thomas expecting their first child together?

Not that this is some super-genius move on my part, but I called every part of this story. Months ago, I said that Hilaria Thomas would “solidify” her position as Alec Baldwin’s new wife by getting knocked up soon, and then two nights ago, I emailed CB and told her that Hilaria looked pregnant in these new photos of her talking to Extra (the pics where she’s wearing green). I do tend to think that Hilaria might be a pushy little golddigger, much in the vein of Kelsey Grammer’s latest wife, and a baby is such of a big part of the long con. Anyway, In Touch Weekly has an “exclusive” claiming that Hilaria is totally knocked up.

There’s a baby Baldwin on the way! In Touch can exclusively reveal that Alec Baldwin and his yoga instructor wife, Hilaria Thomas, are expecting a baby.

“Hilaria has told only really close friends and family she is pregnant, only a close circle she trusts,” a good friend of Hilaria’s tells In Touch.

The pair, who began dating in 2011, wed in June 2012 in New York City. Last year, the 30 Rock actor, 54, admitted to television personality Piers Morgan that more kids were definitely in the cards for him since meeting Hilaria.

“Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that would be great, that would be heaven, that would be fantastic,” he said. And apparently he’s just as thrilled about the news now that it’s happened.

“They are both so excited and Alec is so in love with her,” Hilaria’s friend gushes. “She says she is so in love with Alec and he tells all her friends that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him.”

Recent photos of the fitness instructor have hinted at her pregnancy, as her stomach has been showing the slightest hint of a baby bump.

“[Hilaria] has not said much to anyone as far as how far along she is,” our insider says. “She is so healthy and a yoga freak, so everyone could tell right away something was different.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

Yeah, she really does look pregnant in the green dress photos, but what’s weird is those pics were taken only one day after the SAGs (the red dress pics) where she really didn’t look knocked up at all. So… this isn’t a solid confirmation. YET! But I feel pretty confident that she’s preggo and I feel pretty confident that at some point in the baby’s first months in this world, the baby’s father is going to tell the baby to go f—k himself. Because the baby’s father is a rage-monster. Anyway, congrats Hilaria and Alec! Hope this one isn’t a rude, vile little pig like his last kid.
