Selma Blair talks about postpartum hair loss: “Selma’s going to be bald!”

Selma Blair is looking very Neve Campbell these days, isn’t she? That’s not a criticism or anything, I’ve just never noticed before how much Selma and Neve look alike, especially when Selma’s face is a little bit fuller. Selma’s face is looking different these days because she gave birth to her son, Arthur Saint, over the summer, and according to Selma, she still hasn’t lost the baby weight. I kind of like her with some extra pounds, though. Anyway, apparently her weight isn’t the only thing on Selma’s mind. She gave a new interview to People Magazine where she discusses her postpartum hair loss. Hey, moms – does that really happen? Reason #bajillion for me to not have a baby.

Selma Blair wants to keep it real. Just like all new moms, she’s experiencing the joys — and also the pains — of the hormonal changes that come in the first few months following childbirth.

“This is so not glamorous, but it’s true: I need to take longer showers so that I can collect the hair that falls out and throw it away so I don’t clog the drain. Why do actresses never talk about that?” she tells PEOPLE with a laugh before the Nov. 12 launch party for Gwen Stefani‘s Harajuku Mini for Target collaboration.

“It just started falling out at the three-month mark,” laments the actress, 39, whose son Arthur Saint is now four months old. “And I’m not a girl who likes extensions, so Selma’s going to be bald!”

All shedding aside, Blair is relishing her son’s latest milestones.

“He rolls over now,” she says of her baby boy with fashion designer beau Jason Bleick, “and he got a bouncy toy! It’s like the biggest moment of your life: ‘Oh my gosh, I get 10 minutes free now!’”

“Before, he had a playmat, Mommy or Daddy or now a nanny that comes for a few hours in the daytime, to hold him. But now, autonomy! He got a Fisher-Price Jumperoo — I wish I had one for every room!”

So what does Blair try to do in that 10-minute window of freedom? There’s only one thing, of course: “Shower!”

Obviously, I knew that while pregnant, women’s hair will be thicker and more lustrous. But I guess I didn’t think about what happens after you give birth. According to the scary pregnancy site I just visited, around three to six month after giving birth, many women experience hair loss and sometimes the hair comes out in clumps?!? Yikes. Apparently, everything goes back to normal about a year later, though, and one of the suggestions to ladies experiencing hair loss is to continue taking prenatal vitamins. Or, you know, you could just ask to borrow one of John Travolta’s wiglets.

Selma Blair: “I am not fabulous. It is a mess of Jell-O all over my body”

wenn3507078

Last week, Selma Blair was in Venice to promote her latest movie, Dark Horse. Her appearance came a mere six weeks after giving birth to little Arthur Saint, and at the time, I noted how Selma seemed to “snap back” into her pre-pregnancy figure. I mean, obviously, she didn’t pull a Victoria Beckham and immediately become a size zero two seconds after giving birth, but Selma looked healthy and only had a small little belly. But! Selma tells E! News that her post-pregnancy body is a hot mess:

Although Selma Blair says she honestly hasn’t lost an ounce of baby weight since giving birth to her baby son Arthur six weeks ago, the actress looked runway-ready at J.Mendel’s Fashion Week show today in New York.

The fashionable Hellboy star chatted with E! News about her new life as a mother—and how she plans to get back in tip-top shape…

“It’s life-changing,” the first-time parent told E! News. “I totally had respect for mothers that I didn’t know I had. And I’m exhausted and in shock and thrilled at the same time.”

Despite pressure for Hollywood moms to get back to their pre-pregnancy bods, Blair—who looked slim and lovely in a beautiful black J. Mendel dress, says she’s taking her time when it comes to losing her baby weight.

“I am not fabulous,” she told us, laughing. “It is a mess of Jell-O all over my body. I’m relying on beautiful clothes to mask what is happening to my body. And no, I have not lost any baby weight yet. Any. I’m only six weeks after birth, [but] now I’m at the point where I can exercise, so I will. I will start Pilates again and Bodyline, and I have a trainer. I’ve been following Alicia Silverstone’s diet stuff too.”

Blair is also looking to book her next acting gig. “I’m going to try to get my mind back together and hopefully get a great job,” she said.

After city hopping in Venice and Toronto, Blair said she came out to the J.Mendel’s runway show because the designer’s style is so original.

“I’ve always loved J.Mendel,” she said. “I’ve always loved clothes that don’t necessarily follow trends, clothes that definitely surpassed with their quality. I’ve worn his coats and his clothing in my personal life. They’re just timeless, elegant, chic clothes.”

[From E! News]

Part of me doesn’t believe her claim that she hasn’t lost ANY weight yet. She was overdue with Arthur, and she got really, really big, and now she looks like she’s maybe… I don’t know, a size ten or twelve, if that? Can someone that size really be “a mess of Jell-O”? Sure. She’s probably just talking about her loose skin, which hasn’t snapped back yet. I do appreciate her honesty about “relying on beautiful clothes to mask what is happening to my body.” Maybe she should take tips from Jessica Alba and just girdle the crap out of the Jell-O for the next year.

By the way, these photos of Selma in the white dress are from Toronto. The dress is Halston. It looks like sequined/bedazzled terry cloth?

Selma Blair shows off her figure in Venice, six weeks after giving birth

wenn3495491

Selma Blair just gave birth five weeks ago – her son Arthur Saint was born on July 25. These are photos from Venice from Monday, September 5. That’s less than six weeks that have passed from the day Selma pushed out a big overdue baby (her first) and wearing designer clothes on the Venice Film Festival red carpet. Tell me mothers: Selma got her figure back really quickly, correct? Yes, she has a tiny little tell-tale tummy, and her boobs look bigger, but she’s basically down to her old weight. If anything, she should consider keeping on these ten to fifteen pounds of baby weight, because she looks even better than before. She looks amazing.

This appearance in Venice is Selma’s first since giving birth. She’s promoting her work in Todd Solondz’s new film, Dark Horse. For the photo call, Selma wore this lovely green Roland Mouret (the Wemmick) dress from the Fall 2011 collection.

For last night’s premiere, Selma wore this odd orange-red Lanvin muumuu, which makes her look like she’s still pregnant. The color is pretty on her, but with Selma’s coloring, I would keep her in greens, blues and purples most of the time. She’s got Elizabeth Taylor coloring! She also has Liz’s penchant for muumuus, unfortunately. So… hate the Lanvin, love the Mouret.

Selma Blair tweets a photo of her adorable newborn son

selmablair
Selma Blair and her boyfriend, fashion designer Jason Bleick, welcomed their first child, Arthur Saint Bleick, about three weeks ago. As Kaiser mentioned at the time, it seemed like Selma was pregnant for about a year. That’s what happens when there are constant paparazzi photos of a knocked up celebrity, they just seem to have always been pregnant. It’s the same with January Jones’ pregnancy.

Yesterday we saw paparazzi photos of Selma and Jason out to lunch with little Arthur (or Saint Arthur as I call him) at the Chateau Marmont. On Friday she posted the photo above of Jason and Arthur napping together. She tweetedmy boys.

That baby looks so long and cute! I just love that photo she tweeted. You can really see the resemblance between father and son. Whether Jason is actually sleeping or just pretending for the picture is up for debate, but he looks like he’s conked out to me. Taking care of a three week old will do that to you.

I don’t really have a strong opinion on Selma Blair either way. I’ve kind of ignored her up until this point as she seems to pap herself a lot (or she’s just exceptionally easy to find), but her baby is absolutely precious. This is one of the cutest celebrity baby photos I’ve seen.

Selma Blair (finally) welcomes overdue son Arthur Saint Bleick

fp_7639034_blairselma_dogwalk_lrr_16_20

This was a pregnancy that felt like it went on forever – I could have sworn that Selma Blair had been pregnant for more than a year. I think that’s because she was overdue, and she kept getting photographed endlessly. Anyway, Selma finally gave birth! YAY! She had a boy, and she and her boyfriend named the kid Arthur Saint Bleick. Mother and son are happy and healthy.

It’s a boy for Selma Blair! The actress, 39, and her fashion designer boyfriend, Jason Bleick, welcomed son Arthur Saint Bleick on Monday, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Arthur weighed in at 7 lbs., 12 oz.

The couple, who met when collaborating on Bleick’s line EVER, announced her pregnancy in January. Blair chose to keep the sex of her baby under wraps until the delivery.

“I’m not going to say what it is yet. Hopefully, it’s one or the other,” she joked with PEOPLE.

The actress was recently nominated for a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for Children for the audio book Anne Frank: The Diary Of A Young Girl: The Definitive Edition.

[From People]

Saint? Arthur? It’s not bad, I guess. It’s no Aleph. It’s no Harper Seven. I hope they don’t call him “Art” because then Lady Gaga will try to adopt him and eat his face. Did you know there was actually a Saint Arthur? He was martyred during the reign of King Henry VIII. Is Selma trying to make a political statement about the illegitimacy of the Church of England?!!?

Who works the helmet hair? Only a select few.


Remember how everyone was getting those terrible helmet bangs about a year and a half ago and how Janet Jackson popularized it? My hairdresser had a big poster up from Jose Eber featuring that style, and when I asked him about it he just shook his head and said he hoped it would pass.

The severe bangs were flipped to the side until they slowly grew out to make way for more classic hair trends, but now they’re back again in all their forehead-blocking glory. I blame Katie Holmes for bringing back this questionable style. She manages to pull off a severe interpretation of her daughter’s bowl cut, but only because she has either naturally thin straight hair or enough volume has been taken out of her hair to make it flat and sleek. In my opinion this style just doesn’t work with thicker hair and looks silly.

Here are some celebrities who work it, and others who just should flip it to the side and wait for the trend to pass. Rather than group them according to my opinion, I’ll just post the photos and let you discuss. I don’t think this style works with hair that isn’t straight and thin, but you may disagree.

It’s just hair. It will grow out eventually and can be styled to compensate, but unlike a bad outfit you can’t just switch it for something else the next day without some effort.

Shown are Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum, Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci, Elle Macpherson, Selma Blair, Kylie Minogue, Kelis, Paula Abdul in a messy interpretation of the style, Rihanna, Myleene Klass, and Janet Jackson.

Selma Blair and P. Diddy at the beach


Selma Blair just announced that she’s divorcing her husband of two years, Ahmet Zappa. Yesterday she was photographed at a beach in Malibu with P. Diddy, so it looks like she’s moving on in style. She could do worse than to hook up with the hip-hop mogul. Hopefully she gets a Brazilian once a week, because Diddy doesn’t like his ladies hairy.

Diddy is working on another reality show after the failure of his “Cooking with Celebrities” series. He will be coaching young women he’s picked for an all-girl band in latest season of “Making the Band.”

Here are the pictures of the two together. Thanks toI’m not obsessed for pointing this out. Pictures from Hollywood’s Best.
