Us Weekly: Tori Spelling reveals baby Finn, talks pregnancy complications

Tori Spelling gave birth to baby boy Finn Davey McDermott in late August. It was her her fourth pregnancy overall, and her second pregnancy in the span of 20 months. Everyone thought Tori’s fourth pregnancy was easy and uncomplicated, but days after giving birth, Tori was rushed to the hospital after facing complications with her C-section. We didn’t discuss the hospitalization at the time because it just seemed sad and invasive (invasive to discuss!). But now Tori is on the cover of Us Weekly, debuting her youngest child and discussing what happened during her hospital drama:

Tori Spelling nearly lost her life fighting for her unborn son. Twenty weeks into Spelling’s fourth pregnancy, doctors diagnosed her with a condition known as placenta previa — a condition in which the placenta covers the cervix, leading to massive internal bleeding. She was even at risk for a bleed catastrophic enough to force doctors to terminate her pregnancy.

The actress and reality star, 39, spent 10 weeks in the hospital and four grueling months on bed rest, worrying about dying and leaving her family behind. But she kept her ordeal secret from fans. In the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday, the mother of four shares the emotional story of her terrifying pregnancy with son Finn.

“I just remember thinking, I can’t leave three children behind,” Spelling, 39, tells Us exclusively of Liam, 5, Stella, 4, and Hattie, 12 months, who she shares with husband of six years Dean McDermott. The Craft Wars host’s condition was caused in part by conceiving Finn just one month after giving birth to daughter Hattie, and undergoing three prior C-sections.

Fortunately, after enduring nine massive bleeds — and one very close call — Spelling safely welcomed baby Finn Davey McDermott on Aug. 30. (Three weeks later, the star underwent successful emergency surgery after her C-section scars burst open.)

Spelling proudly shares the first pictures of baby Finn — with Mom, Dad and his three proud siblings — shot in the family home in a stunning, exclusive eight page portfolio in this week’s Us Weekly.

“When they put him in my arms I was like, ‘We made it.”” she tells Us. “We have an insane bond. We’ve been through hell and back.”

For all the exclusive first photos of adorable baby Finn and how Spelling stayed strong during her heart-wrenching medical scare — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.

I’ll admit it, I could only skim that story. If I actually paid attention to what she was saying past “the placenta covers the cervix, leading to massive internal bleeding,” I would have had to dry heave a little bit. It’s not about Tori and her struggles – it’s about my forever-queasiness with these kinds of medical things. Anyway, I’m glad she’s doing well and that everybody is healthy at this point. And seriously, I hope this was her last baby. I hope that she at least takes a break for a little while and lets her body heal after back-to-back pregnancies. And that’s directed at Dean too: keep your hands off your wife for a while, for the love of God.

Jay-Z says Beyonce definitely won’t be strapping on a pillow any time soon

Earlier this week, Hollywood Life and Media Takeout were all up in Beyonce’s womb, claiming that Beyonce had gotten knocked up again (cough) less than nine months after giving birth (cough) to Blue Ivy. Sorry, I think I’m coming down with something! I have a lot of phlegm. Bey’s rep even played into the rumors, wittingly or unwittingly, by refusing to outright confirm or deny. Hollywood Life even doubled-down on their Bey Bump Watch by continuing to run follow-up stories on Bey’s “second pregnancy” like it was a done deal. Meanwhile, Beyonce’s mother Tina told Access Hollywood, “It’s gonna happen when it’s time, but not right now.” And now Jay-Z is saying a definitive NO.

Blue Ivy isn’t becoming a big sister anytime soon. Despite a flush of rumors claiming Beyoncé was pregnant, Jay-Z exclusively told E! News he and his wife are not expecting their second child just yet.

“Are you having another baby?” we asked Hov Wednesday night at the NBA 2K13 release at the 40/40 Club in NYC.

“Tonight?” Jay-Z quipped. “No.”

“What about in nine months?” we prodded.

“Not in nine months,” Jay said. “Absolutely not.”

But before then? What about in seven or eight months?

“No,” Jay said. “Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months.”

Hear that, rumormongers? Definitely no baby on board for Hov and Bey.

[From E! News]

So sad. It would have been fun to spend the next four months analyzing Beyonce’s magical reappearing and disappearing bump. I say “four months” because that’s how long the pillowy bump speculation lasted in between Beyonce’s bump debut at the 2011 VMAs and Blue Ivy’s birth. It was four months of magic. It was four months of “OMG, she’s EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT RIGHT NOW?!” It was four months of bumps that collapsed when she sat down. It was epic. Maybe we’re not ready to do it all over again. We need to learn how to stretch out the magic. I’ll be ready for a kickass, pillowy, magical 2013.

Reese Witherspoon shows off her almost-due bump, plans to sell her Ojai ranch

Reese Witherspoon has been having such a cute pregnancy this time around. I know that seems like a really vapid and superficial statement, but it’s still true. Reese has looked adorable during this, her third pregnancy. I remember her second pregnancy – she was still really cute, but I have strong memories of her looking rather miserable. I think she’s enjoying it more this time around, in her 30s, with a husband she trusts. Anyway, these are some cute bump photos of Reese yesterday in Brentwood. I don’t know when she’s due exactly, but I’m pretty sure it’s soon. Maybe not a Virgo baby, but a Libra baby is looking pretty good. We’ll see! Every morning the past few weeks, I come into work (“stumble to my computer”) expecting to see a story about Reese’s new baby, so who knows?

Meanwhile, there’s some weird news – Reese is selling her beloved Ojai ranch. This is the same ranch where she keeps farm animals and a chicken coop. The same ranch where she married her second husband. The same ranch where Robert Pattinson hid out after Kristen Stewart Mini-Cooper’d her married director.

Twilight fans, take note: Reese Witherspoon’s Ojai., Calif., ranch – the same secluded home where heartbroken Robert Pattinson escaped to after Kristen Stewart cheated on him – is up for sale.

Witherspoon’s ranch, which is selling for $10 million, is also full of happy memories – for Witherspoon. It’s where the actress tied the knot with her husband Jim Toth in front of family and friends, including Robert Downey Jr., Sean Penn, Renée Zellweger and Scarlett Johansson.

The house sits on 7 acres of land and includes 4 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, a pool, stables, an organic garden and a carriage house, according to the real estate listing on Zillow.com.

The home was featured in a recent issue of Elle Decor, where Witherspoon said, “[Libbey Ranch] reminds me of growing up in Tennessee, where we spent all day outside. I wanted my children to have that experience, to get muddy and hang out with the animals.”

And Witherspoon isn’t the only famous person to have owned the home. According to Zillow, Ghostbusters actor and director Harold Ramis also owned the home previously, as did designer and model Kathy Ireland.

[From People]

I really don’t get why she’s selling it? Is she poor? No, she’s not. She can afford to keep both places. Maybe she just doesn’t have the time to enjoy her second home anymore. Maybe she’s keen on a beach pad in Malibu rather than a country ranch. Or maybe Robert Pattinson smells kind of funky and she can’t get the Sparkle-stench out of her pillows.

Tracy Anderson ‘mortified’ by reaction to her body shaming, doesn’t say sorry


Interview starts at 2:40

On Tuesday, Kaiser covered some of the callous, controversial remarks that celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson made about pregnancy weight gain. Anderson, as you might know, is Gwyneth Paltrow’s trainer and she’s just as judgy as Goop when it comes to other people’s weight. She said, in part, “A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that’s the worst thing.

I’ve seen so many women who come to me right after (having children) with disaster bodies that have gone through hell, or they come to me years later and say, ‘Oh, my body is like this because I had three kids.‘”

Not only was Anderson trashing pregnant women who gain weight, she was trashing her clients specifically. These are women who pay $900 a month to join her overpriced gyms, and she’s calling it “the worst thing” that they’ve gained weight and are asking for her help. Isn’t that her bread and butter, and isn’t it her job as a fitness “guru” to focus on the positive and not shame women about their bodies?

Well, Anderson was on Good Morning America to shill her new pregnancy fitness DVDs and of course this whole controversy came up. Other outlets are claiming that she apologized, but I watched the whole interview and she didn’t say she was “sorry” once. She did say she was “mortified” by the reaction to her statements, but it was all about her and her fitness DVDs.

“I am so mortified, it sounds so bad when it comes back like that. It’s not what I meant.

“I’ve spent 14 years very focused creating all of this original content, testing on women to make sure I can give women something that really works so they can be their most empowered self.

“So the last thing I would do is judge a woman, especially after children.

“What I mean is that pregnancy is difficult and every pregnancy is completely unique. We crave a lot. I think in today’s society where women have all of this pressure to look a certain way… I think that they turn to diet a lot because that’s what works for them because fitness routines usually let them down.

“So when they do get pregnant it’s like ‘Oh my gosh!’ It’s not just like, ‘I’m going to let my body go for this pregnancy,’ but also it’s like, ‘I can eat all the things that I never let myself eat.’

“I see people that come to me after pregnancy and they didn’t need to necessarily gain that much…”

[via The Daily Mail]

Then Lara Spencer swept in and tried to save Tracy by telling her when she was pregnant she would eat a cookie if her body wanted it. Tracy agreed with her and just went with it, having already defended herself, but then she said that if you eat empty calories while you’re pregnant you may be dooming your baby, basically. “We are setting our baby up, in the first nine months of life, for the rest of their life with health. With cancer, with diabetes, with all kinds of things.” Again, never did Tracy apologize, specifically to her clients, or say that she shouldn’t have framed her argument that way. She kind of doubled down on her remarks, touted her product, and said that she “would never judge a woman.” What was she doing then?

Toward the end of the interview (at 6:00 in the video above), Lara asked her what she was trying to say and gave her yet another chance to say she was sorry, and she used it to plug her DVDs.

I was trying to say that I’ve spent my pregnancy filming 9 different pregnancy DVDs to help empower women only with muscular structure work for the days that they feel like moving, so they can have something.. we have to listen to [our cravings] but stay connected to your body and your body doesn’t have to be sacrificed forever… it’s empowering to get your body back.”

So it’s still “the worst thing” to gain weight during pregnancy. Even though she’s saying her clients have “disaster bodies,” and are just using pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever they way, they’re supposed to gladly pay her the equivalent of rent in most places in the US to get them back into shape, because she’s the only one who can help, right?

As an aside, Tracy has a Twitter account and a blog, and she hasn’t issued a statement or clarification on either.

Also, what is going on with her bottom lip? I can’t not mention it, it was really distracting.

Eva Mendes walks Ryan Gosling’s dog, and is she hiding a small baby bump?

This is the second day in a row that we have new Eva Mendes photos! This, after a Eva Mendes drought for more than a month. Aren’t we lucky? These are photos of Eva “running errands” with a cute companion. Do you recognize her buddy? That’s George, Ryan Gosling’s Mohawked dog. So… you let your lady spend the day with your dog. What does that mean? That means Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are still very much together. It also means that George got to spend the day with his mom (step-mom?) as she got her hair done and picked up some food. My puppy is fine with a quick food pickup, but he would definitely NOT behave if I took him to a hair salon. My dog would be Chaos Incarnate. So maybe George is really well-behaved? Maybe he just tolerates Eva. Or maybe she gives him bacon, which is the surest way to any dog’s heart.

Anyway… we discussed some other photos of Eva yesterday in which Eva seemed to be shielding her torso from paparazzi inspection. And now in these photos, Eva is wearing a very loose dress. Is she trying to tell us something? Something of the baby bump variety? Eh. I thought for a moment that she looked kind of pregnant from behind yesterday (go here to see those photos), but I really can’t tell in these pics. Pregnancy might explain why she and Ryan dropped off the radar for a little bit. And I could totally see an “unplanned” pregnancy for Ryan and Eva, quite honestly. All I’m saying is that these photos aren’t definitive proof.

Duchess Kate pregnancy speculation branded “crass, inappropriate & unhelpful”

There are several piece of Duchess Kate news, but we don’t have any new photos of her. Over the weekend, I covered Kate’s coatdress for the Olympic Ceremony – I liked it okay. To be fair to Kate, no one really expects her to bring any great fashion moments for the Olympics, you know? Hopefully, she knows it’s not about her. Yesterday, Kate, William, Harry and several other members of the royal family were all in attendance to watch Zara Phillips compete in dressage – you can see some photos here. Kate wore a white blouse and a navy blazer – she looked pretty good. She’s still getting blowouts, even when she’s just sitting in the audience of an Olympic event.

Here’s another interesting piece of news – Kate will be flying solo at a “lavish dinner” tonight in London. The dinner reception is at the Royal Academy of Arts in London which will “celebrate the nation’s culture, creativity, art and entertainment industries.” William has been seen at some events with David Beckham already today – maybe William has a big Olympic event he wants to attend, and he’s just like, “Eh, send Kate by herself.” I’m telling you… these two are not lovely-dovey newleyweds anymore. William acts like he barely wants to spend any time with her.

Meanwhile, a Conservative (Tory) MP (Member of Parliament) has taken it upon herself to Bump-Watch Duchess Kate. And it’s a big deal, apparently:

A Tory MP has been critcised after claiming that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her first child – and then saying a Royal baby would be good for the economy.

Claire Perry made the controversial comments in front of 250 people at Marlborough College Summer School’s Question Time debate – Kate Middleton’s former school in Wiltshire. The remarks appear to be purely speculation but have been branded ‘inappropriate’, ‘unhelpful’ and an ‘invasion of privacy’ by commentators.

Ms Perry said: ‘I think Kate Middleton [aka the Duchess of Cambridge] is pregnant – and that would be good for the economy’, the Daily Telegraph said.

Royal observer Ingrid Seward told MailOnline: ‘It’s absolute guesswork and it’s utter rubbish. The remarks are slightly out of turn and rather crass. If she is pregnant no one is going to know about it. She won’t want to take the glory away from the Queen’s Jubilee year.’

She said it was unlikely the Duchess is expecting ahead of the couple’s visit to Singapore in September. William and Kate will be visiting Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur and Sabah, Borneo, as well as the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu as part of the Jubilee celebrations.

Meanwhile, Sue Buxton, secretary of the Labour Party group for Devizes, said: ‘I think it’s totally inappropriate. It’s a total invasion of their privacy.’

Ms Perry was speaking at the session at the top public school alongside Labour MP Chris Bryant, Lt.Gen. Sir Barney White-Spunner, chairman of the Countryside Alliance, Douglas Murray, author and journalist and Nick Watt, deputy political editor of The Guardian.

Clarence House has declined to comment on the matter and said it would never comment on speculation like this. Since the Royal couple tied the knot in April last year they have endured constant rumours about whether the 30-year-old Duchess is expecting. Last year, Kate fuelled rumours by repeatedly touching her stomach during a Royal visit to an aid centre in Copenhagen. She also sparked speculation by declining to eat peanut paste on her trip as expectant mothers are advised not to eat peanuts in case it triggers an allergy in their child.

[From The Mail]

Um… not to defend this MP too much, but it really sounds like she was just gossiping (which we all do, let’s get real), and theorizing that everyone would be really happy if Kate got pregnant. The pish-poshing of Bump Watch is kind of dumb – considering it’s exactly what Kate signed on for. If Kate was an actress or something, you could say, “How horrible, people should leave her alone, we shouldn’t speculate on her womb.” But getting pregnant is Kate’s #1 job. “Providing an heir” is why she was “hired” for the gig.

But anyway… Kate isn’t pregnant. She was drinking champagne at the Queen’s Olympic reception, and look at her in those too-tight (awfully inappropriate) jeggings. There’s no room for a baby in those jeggings. Also: ankle zippers?!?!? I thought that trend died with the 1980s.

Jessica Simpson wants to wear a leopard-print caftan when she gives birth

Over the weekend, there were some rumors that Jessica Simpson had finally given birth to her baby daughter, little Maxi/Margarita Tequila Johnson. Unfortunately for all, it didn’t happen. Jessica Simpson is still pregnant. This actually seems like it’s part of the new schedule – Jessica was just so big, and everyone thought she would be giving birth at any moment… two months ago. But Jessica was telling people that she had one more month to go back in late March. My instinct says it’s going to happen this week. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But Thursday? Sure. Friday – could be. In the meantime, Jessica has taken to Twitter to assure everyone that The Great Flood (Of Amniotic Fluid) is not upon us quite yet. Also: she wants to give birth in a leopard caftan.

Keep saving those congratulations! Jessica Simpson hasn’t given birth yet. The first-time mom-to-be is still awaiting the birth of her baby girl, and while she waits she’s making sure she’ll look fabulous at the hospital.

“I just woke up from a dream that I wore a leopard caftan in the hospital. Fabulous!!” Simpson tweeted Tuesday. “Now I need to find one!”

The 31-year-old Fashion Star mentor and her fiance Eric Johnson are expecting their first child together and fans are very eager for the baby’s arrival.

“To everyone who keeps congratulating me on the birth of my baby girl…I’m still pregnant!!” Simpson tweeted Saturday. “Don’t believe what you read ladies and gents.”

But she’s ready to give birth too — and get back into her normal shoes!

“I can’t wait for the day I can walk in heels again!” she tweeted. “My feet feel homesick!”

[From Us Weekly]

My feelings towards Jessica have been a rollercoaster of emotion. First, I felt overwhelming sympathy for how big she had gotten. Then I was grossed out and turned off by her incessant TMI. Then I went back to feeling defensive on her behalf, because I didn’t (and still don’t) like when people attack her for her oversized pregnancy. Right now I just want it to happen for her, and soon. She must be super-uncomfortable.

Duchess Kate is “uncomfortable” with all of the speculation about her womb

First thing – I kind of love that American media outlets still consistently refer to the Duchess of Cambridge as “Kate Middleton”. She was “Kate Middleton” for nine years as Prince William’s girlfriend, and so many of the American photo agencies and American media outlets simply don’t want to use her fancy title. To be fair, I don’t like using her title either. It takes up too much space in headlines, and it’s a bitch to type out “HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge” when everyone knows you’re just taking about “Waity” or “Kate”.

As for the real story – Kate’s neverending pregnancy speculation. People Magazine put Kate’s womb front and center on their cover this week, claiming that Kate might be preggo right now, or that she will be soon. Meanwhile Us Weekly ran a counter-claim from royal “sources” about Kate NOT being pregnant and not looking to be pregnant for a while. There was even more speculation this week too – Star Magazine has a story about Kate eating a “carb-heavy” diet in an attempt to gain weight (to get preggo) and Star also speculated that Kate will undergo IVF to get knocked up with an heir. All of this speculation has upset poor Kate, according to even more speculation from Us Weekly’s royal sources.

Kate Middleton became the subject of pregnancy rumors shortly after tying the knot on April 29, 2011 — and it’s starting to take its toll on the 30-year-old Duchess of Cambridge.

“The constant rumors about Kate being pregnant, or not being pregnant, make her feel uncomfortable,” a source close to Middleton tells Us Weekly. “Seeing stories that talk about her health is really hurtful. It’s difficult to just ignore them.”

Though Middleton “understands that there is interest,” given her new life in the public eye, “certain [outlets] push things too far,” the source explains.

“This week there have been stories about IVF, baby buzz speculation and what not. Usually they don’t mind anything that is written, but this is a little different because it’s so personal.”

Middleton’s husband, Prince William, 29, is doing his best to console her. “William doesn’t like to see her get bogged down about these things,” the source tells Us.

It seems that, for now, a royal baby announcement is a long way off. “They have only been married for one year and they are not rushing to have a baby,” the source says. “Both William and Kate want their first child to happen naturally and at the right time.”

[From Us Weekly]

I have mixed feelings about this. On one side, it’s her body and yes, all of this speculation is rude and kind of creepy. Plus, we don’t even know if this is how Kate really feels, although… I think it’s keeping with a certain storyline that the Palace keeps pushing: Kate and William are so industrious, hard-working, quiet people and they love children and poor Kate is just a poor little victim (just a GIRL at a mere 30 years old!) and everyone wants to make sure that she doesn’t suffer (which is why they go on vacation all the time). On the other side… Kate married into one of the most public families in the world, and her biggest “royal duty” is providing an heir. Of course there is going to be pregnancy speculation. The British people feel like they “own” the royal family (which they do, considering the royal family is subsidized by British taxpayers), and as such, they feel like they’re entitled to know about the comings and goings of Kate’s womb. Still… it wouldn’t hurt to take the speculation down a notch, especially since most people think it will be another year before there are any big announcements.

Tori Spelling is already in her 2nd trimester, got pregnant 6 weeks after giving birth

Tori Spelling

These are photos of Tori Spelling outside of the Today Show this morning, where she seems to be showing off her baby bump. Less than two weeks ago, Tori Spelling announced her fourth pregnancy. She just gave birth to daughter Hattie back on October 10, 2011, five months ago. I assumed that Tori was announcing her pregnancy a little bit early, but NO. As it turns out, Tori is already into her second trimester. As Tori explains in a new interview with Access Hollywood, she got pregnant when Hattie was only a month and a half old. *counts on fingers*

Tori says that she was being hospitalized for a migraine and while in the hospital, the nurses made her take a pregnancy test just out of standard caution: “I had chronic migraines and I was in the emergency room getting treated for one of my migraines and when I got there they said, ‘Before we can treat you, you have to do the pee in the cup.’ And I said, ‘Oh, don’t worry I’m not pregnant. I just had a baby a month ago.’ And they (said), ‘Sorry, it’s policy at the hospital.’ So I did it, and they came back and said, ‘You’re pregnant!’ And I said, ‘That can’t be!’” When Tori and Dean learned that they were expecting again, Tori says, “Dean and I kind of sat there in shock for a while and then we said, ‘Well, we wanted four!’ This is when our miracle wanted to come… so we’ll take it.”

You know what I keep thinking about? The huge, hideous DENT in Tori’s breast. Some claim it has to do with a “drift” in her implant or something. I just keep thinking about Tori’s sketchy bolt-ons, the dent, breastfeeding and all of these pregnancies. I know, I know. Totally gross. But I’m fixated on it.

Duchess Kate is not knocked up nor will she be any time soon, royal sources say

Duchess of Cambridge

Last week, one of the American tabloids claimed that Duchess Kate was not currently pregnant, and that she had been pregnant last fall but it “didn’t take.” Which… I still don’t buy. After months of speculation immediately following last year’s royal wedding, I’ve come to the conclusion that William and Kate simply aren’t trying for a baby right now. My guess is that Kate is still on birth control pills, and that she and William probably won’t “try” until much later this year, maybe even next year. But that isn’t stopping tabloids in the UK and America (and elsewhere) from speculating about Kate’s womb. So Us Weekly spoke to a “royal insider” who has all the dirt:

Prince William and Kate Middleton will soon mark their first wedding anniversary April 29, but they’re not planning to celebrate by announcing any baby news.

As pregnancy rumors run rampant, an insider close to the couple confirms to Us Weekly that Middleton, 30, is not expecting a royal bundle of joy.

“Kate is not pregnant or about to make a pregnancy announcement,” the insider explained of Middleton, who also sparked pregnancy rumors in November when she refused peanut paste during a visit to Denmark. (Although Kate is not allergic to peanuts, pregnant women are often advised to avoid peanut products to prevent allergies in their babies-to-be.)

Though there isn’t any baby news to speak of just yet, the royal couple does have something to celebrate.

On March 21, the Duke of Cambridge, 29, returned to Great Britain after a six-week deployment off the coast of Argentina in the Falkland Islands. It was the longest he and his wife had been apart since their wedding last spring.

Shortly after William reunited with his bride, the duo headed off with her parents, Carole and Michael, and her siblings, Pippa and James, for a ski trip at the Three Valley’s resort in France.

Says an eyewitness of the group, who opted to share the same chalet: “They looked very happy together.”

[From Us Weekly]

I still haven’t heard anything about Kate and William returning to England, so I’m guessing that their “holiday” with the Middletons has become a full TWO WEEK vacation. This is after their extensive Christmas, New Year’s and pre-Falklands vacation too. But as royal propagandists would have us believe, it’s all because Kate has been working her fingers to the bone with public appearances and William wants her to have several months of “down time” now that he’s back. Is anyone else starting to wonder how overwhelmed Kate is going to feel when she actually becomes a mother? Poor cabbage will have to hire about 10 nannies and assistants to deal with the stress.

UPDATE: Ah, now I understand. People Mag put Kate’s womb on their cover this week:

Their friends are having kids. They’re getting ready to start making family-friendly renovations to their home at Kensington Palace. And their first anniversary is fast approaching on April 29.

Yes, say royal insiders, Prince William and the Kate have babies on the brain.

From their decision to quietly “shelf” a hoped-for trip to Africa to the Palace’s recent sensitivity to speculation on the subject, veteran royal watchers say the couple is poised to start a family sooner rather than later.

In particular, watching their friends become parents “does help” boost William and Kate’s decision to follow suit, a family insider tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.

Although they are unlikely to announce a pregnancy before the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration this summer, like any couple, “they will let nature and life take its course,” adds a royal source.

[From People]

Meh. My theory still holds – they’re waiting, I think.

Oh, and here are some photos of Will and Kate’s new wax figures at the Madame Tussauds in London. Um… why did they make Kate cross-eyed? Other than the major case of wonk eye, I think these wax figures are really good.
