Jen & Ben In Need Of Some Alone Time?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:03:00 GMT

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been together since July of 2004 - married in June of 2005 - and are parents to daughters Violet, 3, and Seraphina, 2 1/2 months. Like most couples with young children, they probably don't have a lot of time for romance or intimacy, especially if the baby isn't sleeping through the night. But perhaps Jen wants to change that?

Garner, 36, was recently spotted visiting sex therapist Dr. Holly Hein in Santa Monica, California - maybe she wants a few pointers on how to bring back that lovin' feelin' if you get my drift?

It's not the first time Jen was visiting the good doctor - who is author of Sexual Detours: Infidelity and Intimacy at the Crossroads - she stopped by in December as well.

Hey, if that's what it takes to get things back on track, I say good for her! Sometimes, after being parents all day, we need a little boost at night!

Another Pregnancy For Jen Garner & Ben Affleck?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:08:00 GMT

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are parents to two daughters - Violet, 3, and Seraphina, one month - but that doesn't mean the couple are done expanding their family! Ben is anxious to impregnate his wife once again!

According to OK!:

A friend said, "Ben's happy to keep going until he gets his boy. He has visions of dressing a little guy in [Boston] Red Sox gear, tossing a baseball around and cheering in the stands together."

The pal adds, "Jen is a big softie when it comes to giving Ben what he wants."

But, Jennifer told friends "that she's done. She jokes with Ben, 'If you want more babies, you'll have to find a way to produce them yourself.'"

Hopefully these two get on the same page about whether or not to have another child!

Tori Spelling's "Mommywood" Book Cover Revealed & Excerpt!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:07:00 GMT

Actress Tori Spelling is a busy working mom! She's starring on the new 90210 and she found time to write a book about her children - Liam, 22 months and Stella, 7 months, with husband Dean McDermott. It's titled "Mommywood."

Book excerpt after the jump!

The book is due out April 14.

Here is an excerpt:

The doctors squeezed the self-heating goo on my belly and started moving the wand around. We already knew that the baby was a boy. Now the doctor was saying calming, non-specific things like, “Looks good, all good. There’s his little foot.” Actually, who am I kidding? I have no idea what the doctor was saying. Something had me distracted. I was focused on the screen, staring hard at my baby’s delicate face. There he was, all perfect. Head, eyes, ears, but, well, I didn’t want to admit it, even to myself, but something was bothering me. His nose. I kept coming back to it. I was worried, well, was I even allowed to think this? It looked a little, um, large.

I was picking apart my unborn baby. I couldn’t help but flash back to the day my mother told me I’d be pretty “as soon as you have a nose job.” Mothers are supposed to think their children are gorgeous no matter what. What if I didn’t? What if I’d inherited some mutated gene from my mother that caused us to feel nothing but disappointment in our offspring? Oh my God, was a destined to replicate the mistakes my mother made? Do all moms wonder what their children will look like? Or was I living in Mommywood?

Tori's first book "sTORI TELLING" became a New York Times Bestseller.

Baby Babble With Tori Spelling

Sassy Smith — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 13:11:00 GMT

Tori Spelling, like any mom, loves to talk about her babies - Liam, 22 months, and Stella, 7 months. Her son, although a bit "weirded out" by his new sibling at first, has taken a shine to her and baby Stella is already a daddy's girl.

Tori on daughter Stella, who is a spitting image of her dad (Dean McDermott):

"She already bats her eyes and [Dean's] melting. She can do no wrong." As for Stella looking just like Dean and nothing like Tori: "I think I was just a vessel. Like, I carried you for 9 months. I guess I was just a shell so you could survive for 9 months."

But, Tori did get to hear Stella say "mama" first!

"Today she said mama for the first time. It was like the biggest day. She was sitting in her little Exersaucer. We were in the living room and I just heard, ‘Mama,’ and the arms out, and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ Your heart just melts. Liam’s all walking by just like, ‘Mama, mama. What’s the big deal? I can say that."

Tori on son Liam, who didn't take to his baby sister right away:

The 90210 actress says that Liam's relationship with Stella was "questionable at first." However, the almost 2-year-old eventually warmed to her and now "he's a really good big brother."

She adds, "You know he has his moments. He wants the attention. But then at times he goes over and pets her head and plays with her. He makes her laugh and he is like her world. She lives and dies for him so he can do no wrong."

Will Tori and Dean have more babies?

Tori says they have "the perfect family," but are definitely considering having more children. "I always say whatever we're blessed enough to be able to have, I'd be happy with."

Tori and Dean certainly do make cute babies!

Dean is also dad to Jack, 11, from his previous marriage.

Sassy Smith — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:07:00 GMT

Tori Spelling is mom to Liam, 22 months, and Stella, 7 months and she says there's a little bit of healthy competition between her kids. Said the 90210 actress, "Today she [Stella] said 'mama' for the first time. It was like the biggest day. I was like, 'Oh my god!' Your heart just melts." Liam, however, was not so impressed by his little sister's milestone.

Tori added, "Liam's all walking by just like, 'Mama, mama. What's the big deal? I can say that.'

"He was a little weirded out that she was staying, and now he's really good." Tori teased, "He thought she was on loan like most of my clothes."

Despite Liam being "questionable at first" about his sister, he's adjusting well.

The mom-of-two added, "No, he's really a good big brother. At times he goes over and pets her head and plays with her. He makes her laugh and he is, like, her world. She lives and dies for him so he can do no wrong."

Tori admits that Stella is daddy's girl. "She already bats her eyes [at her dad]."

Spelling says that she and husband Dean McDermott have "the perfect family," but that they do want more children eventually.

Good Charlotte Guitarist Billy Martin Welcomes a Son

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:05:00 GMT

Guitarist Billy Martin and his wife Linzi became the proud parents of a boy on January 26. Dreavyn Kingslee Martin is the first child for the couple.

"Mom is doing great, baby is healthy," the rocker tells People magazine. "I couldn't ask for anything more."

"It is hands down the most amazing thing that has ever happened in my life," Martin added. "We can see so much of my wife and I in him already!"

Looks like little Dreavyn will have a playmate on the tour bus; Martin's bandmate, singer Joel Madden, and girlfriend Nicole Richie welcomed daughter Harlow a year ago.

Congratulations!

Lizzie Grubman Was Pregnant With Twins But Gives Birth To Only One Baby

Sassy Smith — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:06:00 GMT

Former reality star and celebrity publicist Lizzie Grubman and husband Chris Stern welcomed their second son on Thursday, January 22 - two months before Lizzie's scheduled due date. As well, we told you last September that the couple announced they were expecting twins - so did something happen to their other baby? Or were the reports of twins not accurate?

Lizzie and Chris named their new baby Jack Alexander Stern and he joins big brother Harrison "Harry" Irving, 2. All reports say that mom and baby are doing well, which is good to hear, considering he arrived 8 weeks early. It's also being reported that both mom and baby are expected to be home on Monday, but I'm thinking baby Jack would have to stay longer since he was born premature.

And, it still leaves the question of what happened to her other baby, if indeed she was expecting twins?

Grubman announced her pregnancy (with twins) last year at a luncheon her parents' home. Twins run in her family - her sister is a mom of twins.

Congrats to the family and we'll keep you updated on the 'twins mystery'.

*Edit* It was posted on a message board that Lizzie did lose the other baby earlier in the pregnancy - and if that's true, we're very sorry for the family's loss.

Tori Spelling admits she gained 50 pounds with her second pregnancy but seven months after giving birth to daughter Stella, Tori's back in shape and looking better than ever! She's proud of herself, and says "I kick ass!"

One more pic after the jump

Spelling, 35, who also has 2-year-old son Liam with husband Dean McDermott, says she's worked hard to get her body back after kids.

She's been eating healthy:

"Breakfast was yogurt, fruit and nuts. Lunch was homemade soup with a sweet potato or soy milk base. We'd snack on celery and peanut butter, and then I'd make lean protein with vegetables for dinner.

She's been active too:

"I would go for long walks or biking with the kids. We'd do phyical activities every day.

"I'm proud! I could've gotten here sooner if I was fanatical and worked out extensively every day, but I'm glad I didn't. I'm so happy I did it with my family and in a healthy way."

Gotta admit, she looks good.

One of the best things about this job is looking at adorable kids and babies, believe it or not. But if you tell anyone I said that, I'll have to shoot you.

While Ben Affleck is in Washington playing around at the silly presidential inauguration, and wife Jennifer Garner is busy with the newest Affleck, Grandma Affleck is helping out with Violet.

They went out to a park in Los Angeles on Sunday and 3-year-old Violet had a blast running around, feeding the ducks, and basking in the knowledge that she can now reign supreme over her little sibling, Seraphina.

Isn't she a cute little tyrant-to-be?

He sounds like a very proud papa and I can't wait to see the little one. I'm sure big sis Violet is having fun helping out.

What's In A Name: Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck

Sassy Smith — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 12:05:00 GMT

Some celebrities go weird-name route for their kid and some go a more traditional route when naming their baby. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck named their second daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck - so what does it mean?

The Associated Press list some "name experts," who weigh in on the newborn's name and what it may mean:

EXPERT: Jennifer Moss, author of "The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book" and founder of BabyNames.com.

SPECIALTY: Practicality, looking for influences such as family history and life experiences.

IMPRESSIONS: "Seraphina is a beautiful name — based on the Seraphim, the highest order of angels. I'm not a fan of the double-middle name, but it's nice they continued the `flower' theme by including the name Rose. The only thing that may be a little cumbersome is saying her first and last name together. In the BabyNames.com introduction test, the parents should say just the first and last name aloud: `Hello, my name is Seraphina Affleck.'"

EXPERT: Whitney Walker, co-author with Eric Reyes of "The Perfect Baby Name" and ThePerfectBabyName.com consultant.

SPECIALTY: Phonetics and rhythm — how names sound and flow together.

IMPRESSIONS: "When names match phonetically, they are more memorable and pleasing to the ear, and this name matches very nicely: The S in Seraphina is similar to the Z sounds in Rose and Elizabeth, tying them all together, plus the F sound in Seraphina matches the F in Affleck. Ben and Jen did the same thing with Violet, since the V sound is similar to the F sound, which also makes Violet and Seraphina sound good together."

EXPERT: Maryanna Korwitts, author of "Name Power 101" and BabyNamingCentral.com founder.

SPECIALTY: Holistic approach, from sounds and meanings to the impact of names on personality traits.

IMPRESSIONS: "To be sure that the press or outsiders do not determine this little one's nickname, Ben and Jennifer should make clear their choice. Sera is certainly the most natural derivation. This variation on the name could work well and will influence this child to be involved in the arts or acting when she grows up."

Although I'm not crazy about the name Seraphina - her middle names are pretty and the combination of the three (as well as her last name), do go nicely together! Can't wait to sneak a peek at the little doll.

Sassy Smith — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:04:00 GMT

Tori Spelling, after giving birth to her second child, was amazed that other celebrities were dropping their baby weight in just a few short weeks, but she wasn't. She had gained 50 pounds with daughter Stella, and while she lost 10 pounds right away, it took her six months to lose the rest. But she realized, it's not a race and wanted to do it right!

Spelling posed for In Touch and talked about how she lost an additional 40 pounds:

"When I got my body back after Liam, I was happy. But this time, I was like ‘I kick ass!’ I’m a working mom of two, so to know I did it all my myself was huge."

How much did you gain while pregnant with Stella?
I gained 50. I lost 10 pounds instantly and then another 40.

What was your diet like while losing the weight?
Breakfast was yogurt, fruit and nuts. Lunch was homemade soup with a sweet potato or soy milk base. We’d snack on celery and peanut butter, and then I’d make lean protein with vegetables for dinner.

How many calories did you eat a day?
I never counted. I just ate healthy.

What about exercise?
I would go for long walks or biking with the kids. We’d do physical activities every day.

How does it feel being back in a bikini?
I’m proud! I could’ve gotten here sooner if I was fanatical and worked out extensively every day, but I’m glad I didn’t. I’m so happy I did it with my family and in a healthy way.

Dudek said in an interview last summer that she was feeling great during her pregnancy and that, "Cheese and sleeping, that's my life these days." Hey, that's my life these days, too, only I'm not pregnant.

Anyways, congratulations to Anne and Matthew - and here's to cheese and sleeping.
