Charlotte Church is knocked up again


Child singing sensation-turned-grown-up TV host Charlotte Church has confirmed that she is pregnant again. Church confirmed her pregnancy via her website.

Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are delighted to announce that they are expecting another baby. The couple are thrilled, as are their immediate families.
Meanwhile, Charlotte has confirmed that she will fulfill her commitment to Channel 4 to present the third series of The Charlotte Church Show in July and August of this year.

Church gave birth to the couple’s first daughter, Ruby, less than a year ago. It was a rather tumultuous pregnancy, in which her longtime fiance, rugby star Gavin Henson, was caught cheating with a shopgirl while Charlotte was around seven months along. A furious and extremely huge Charlotte kicked Gavin out, but he begged forgiveness and she took him back quickly. The couple managed to work things out and have seemed much happier since Ruby was born– which may explain how Charlotte got re-impregnated so quickly. Congrats to the couple- and Gavin, please behave yourself this time around, will ya?

Charlotte Church is shown on 5/12/08 for an event promoting breastfeeding and with Gavin at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on 6/6/06.

Charlotte Church Has A Baby Girl

spx-008152.jpg
Charlotte Church has the voice of angel, and now has a little baby angel too. The 21-year-old songstress and footballer boyfriend Gavin Henson had a baby girl on Thursday night.

Charlotte Church has chosen a name for her new daughter – but was yesterday keeping tightlipped for fear of jeopardising a reported six-figure magazine deal.

The singer-turned-TV presenter gave birth to a 6lb-10oz baby girl at home on Thursday night, with boyfriend Gavin Henson and mum Maria at her side.

The thrilled parents did not know what sex their first-born would be, so waited until after the birth to choose the name.

They are expected to reveal it in a forthcoming lucrative magazine interview.

Charlotte had considered the name Ava, until Myleene Klass, 29, announced she had chosen it for her daughter, who was born last month.

A celebrity name like Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter) or Bluebell (Geri Halliwell’s daughter) is out of the question, though, as Charlotte’s mum Maria has already confirmed, “she wants a traditional name”.

But friends have revealed the 21-year-old singer has chosen Maria as the middle name, in keeping with family tradition.

The baby’s last name will be Henson, after her father.

Charlotte also very cleverly avoided those ugly paparazzi pictures of her outside the hospital by having the baby at home, attended by two midwives in a birthing pool. Having the baby at home also meant that there was no chance of pictures getting out and jeopardizing the magazine deal. It also meant there was no chance of hospital-grade pain relief, so I for one am impressed!

Congratulations Charlotte and Gary. We’re looking forward to the pictures of your beautiful baby.

Charlotte Church tells us it’s really, really great to be rich

top-spx-008152.jpg

Thank you Charlotte Church, for letting us plebeians know how great it is to have lots of money and just be able to sit around on your ass. The ever deep, ever insightful British opera singer/television host said, “‘I really love having money, because it lets me be lazy. Work’s really overrated. If you’re lucky enough to get the chance to be a housewife then go for it.’” And that’s Charlotte Church’s deep thought of the day… and probably the next few weeks, too. Well, at least she’s honest.

“Charlotte Church loves being rich - because it means she can be lazy. The singer - who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Gavin Henson - says she’s quite happy being a housewife and can’t understand why people would want to work if they didn’t have to.

“Charlotte, who has a reported £5.5 million [about $10 million USD] fortune, said: ‘I really love having money, because it lets me be lazy. Work’s really overrated. If you’re lucky enough to get the chance to be a housewife then go for it.’

“‘I love my house in the country. There are sheep and rabbits there. It’s peaceful.’

“Despite having millions at her disposal, Charlotte insists she is quite frugal with her cash. She added: ‘The free accessories are almost the best part of being famous. I’m careful with my money, but when I think about having made my own money, I smile inside, even though I’m not flash. I’m a Marks and Spencer girl.

“‘I don’t buy diamonds any more. The only think I would really like is a yacht.’”

[From Monsters & Critics]

I don’t buy diamonds anymore. Well, at least for jewelry. Instead, I crush them into a paste - who am I kidding, I have my servant crush them into a paste - using an antique mortar and pestle, and then I smear the diamonds on my face as the world’s most expensive microdermabrasion. It sloughs off all the dead skin, and makes me 18 carat personality sparkle through. Blech. I really imagine Charlotte Church saying that in a valley girl accent, where every statement is a question while she twirls her hair around her finger. I know she made the money herself, but show a little gratitude. Or just pretend you have a marginally level head. Ever since I earned my first ten million, once a week I have my servant slap my silly, jut to keep me humble. Charlotte should try that. And she should let me do the slapping.

Charlotte Church throws fiance out

charlottechurch.jpg
Pregnant Charlotte Church, 21, has thrown her fiancé Gavin Henson out of their home after discovering that he’s been cheating on her. The classically trained singer and television host wasn’t going to stand for that kind of treatment. Henson, a rugby player, broke Charlotte’s heart by cheating on her with Tracy Donnelly, a shop assistant in Belfast. The two met at a nightclub called Thompson’s Garage after one of Henson’s matches.

Church obviously isn’t any condition to go drinking at clubs, but apparently that hasn’t held Henson back from making sure he still has a good time.

Tracy alleges Gavin invited her back to the La Mon Hotel and Country Club on the outskirts of Belfast where they exchanged kisses under a table in the banqueting suite.

‘It was a drunken snog, or two, or three,’ says Tracy. ‘Nothing for Charlotte to worry about. I mean, come on, who doesn’t get up to these cheeky little things?

‘When we left each other I didn’t take his number but he took mine. Needless to say I never heard from him again.’”

[From Now Magazine]

If my boyfriend drunkenly kissed a girl and then invited her back to a hotel, he’d be looking at the business end of a hissy fit. The People UK referred to Church as “Notoriously-jealous Charlotte.” Right, because only notoriously jealous people would have a problem with their boyfriends kissing other girls. How could someone who’s just a little bit famous, or even dating someone who’s just a little bit famous, think that they wouldn’t be caught? I mean this girl ran to the press about it right away… how could you expect anything less?

This Tracy Donnelly sure has a high opinion of herself, despite her behavior. Some of her best quotes from her interview:

“Every woman in the place was swarming around him but I stayed well clear. About midnight he came over and said ‘These girls are really annoying me. They just want to talk to me because I’m famous’”

“When we snogged it was exciting but I think he knew that he’d done something wrong. But it happened all the same again and again and again. There was never a question of sex, I don’t know if it crossed his mind or not, but I’m not that kinda girl.

“People may think that my speaking out will ruin Gavin and Charlotte’s relationship but I doubt it. It was a drunken snog or two. Who doesn’t do it? Although I guess he should be more careful.”

[From The People UK]

Well I guess she was wrong when she said that she doubts what she did will ruin Charlotte’s relationship. How could someone do that to another girl… let alone someone who is pregnant? That’s just so far beyond the line. According to Hollyscoop, Charlotte has now locked Gavin out of their home, refusing to listen to his apologies and excuses. Charlotte’s mother has been calling Henson and screaming at him. Good for her! Apparently the guy has a history of drunken flirting, which probably explains Charlotte’s “notorious jealousy,” with good reason. There’s no point in staying with someone that flirts and/or cheats every time they have a drink. She’s 21, which is not an incredibly mature age, but it’s not like she’s a desperate teenager either. She has the resources to take care of herself and her baby, and she should do just that – and forget about this loser.
