Celebrity Bumps - Summer Edition

Sassy Smith — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:04:00 GMT

There's something in the water in celebrityland because there are a lot of actresses/singers/models who are expecting right now! It's a Tinseltown baby boom. Here a few summertime baby bumps....

Photos after the jump!

Gwen Stefani - she's due any second now - she was spotted heading into the hospital a few days ago but apparently not to give birth. Very soon though! This will be baby number two for her and husband Gavin Rossdale. Son Kingston is 2.

Minnie Driver - she's about ready to pop any time now as well! She's been seen out and about, doing some shopping, getting ready for her first child. Still no word on just who the baby daddy is.

Lisa Marie Presley - pregnant with her third AND fourth children - yup it's twins! The pretty 40-year-old daughter of the late Elvis Presley is expecting her first children with husband Michael Lockwood. She has two teens from a previous marriage. She recently bared her pregnant belly in Marie Claire magazine.

Ashlee Simpson - pregnant with her first child with Pete Wentz, due sometime in October. She's been seen sporting hippy headbands and flowy dresses. She does look great, I have to admit - well minus the headband please! She and Pete are rumored to be expecting a girl.

Naomi Watts - due with baby number two - she and Liev Schreiber have son Alexander, 1, and are expecting a girl. Watts likes to spend big bucks on diaper bags.

Gillian Anderson - she's expecting baby number 3, second with husband Mark Griffiths. Anderson has an 11-year-old daughter, Piper, with her ex and she and Mark have a son, Oscar, 20-months-old. Gillian is a lazy, eating, pregnant chick - she rocks.

Laila Ali - pregnant with her first child (husband Curtis Conway has 3 older children from a previous relationship), a boy, who they are planning to name Curtis Jr. She's due sometime in September and plans to have a homebirth.

Jen Garner - she and husband Ben Affleck have one of the cutest celebrity kids - daughter Violet. Violet, 2, will be a big sister in a few short months. Everyone under the sun has confirmed their second pregnancy even though Jennifer herself has made no announcement. Hopefully they'll have a boy this time!

See? Lots of celebrity bumps! And that's not all either - there's more celebs expecting as well - Amy Poehler, Luciana Barroso (Matt Damon's wife), Alessandra Ambrosio, Gina Lee Nolan, Alison Sweeney, Amy Jo Johnson, Jackie Sandler (Adam Sandler's wife), Caroline Rhea, Jenna Jameson, Rebecca Romijn, Charlotte Church, Erykah Badu (rumor so far), Amy Fisher and there's more still, but it's time to take my medication.

She's got another baby on the way! It's a celebrity baby boom for 2008! Hint - she's a singer and the "producer" of her unborn baby is a producer himself....

Reports are that singer Erykah Badu is expecing baby number three with producer Jay Electronica. It will be the first child for Jay, and Erykah has two older children - Seven Sirius Benjamin, 11, is fathered by Andre 3000 of Outkast fame, and daughter Puma Rose, 5, is fathered by rapper D.O.C.

This hasn't been confirmed, but if it is true - congratulations!

When Celebs Make Really Odd Comments - Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu: "I Don't Want Gwen Stefani Stealing My Sh*t."

Karen — Sat, 31 May 2008 19:15:00 GMT

I wanted to give away my materials,” Badu told Wired magazine, seen here with daughter Puma Rose.

“It’s about sharing, and that’s why I like this system.”

Coming out in July, Return of the Ankh will be accompanied by USB sticks which will include all kinds of little extras like footage of concerts, commentary on the recording process and “me in a bathtub with Flavor Flav.”

Uh, okay.

Erykah also hinted at a full-length release titled Lowdown Loretta Brown (an alias she has used over the years) saying, “I don’t want to introduce too much of that right now. I don’t want Gwen Stefani stealing my shit.”

Does anyone know anything about Gwen Stefani stealing prior ideas from Badu? I Googled but came up empty handed.

When Celebs Make Really Odd Comments - Erykah Badu

I have no idea of the exact point Erykah Badu was trying to make with her recent comment in Blender magazine. Actually the whole article makes me scratch my head.

This was one of her odd comments:

"I'm late all the time. I have no perception of time. Time is for white people. It doesn't work with me." Huh? Badu has two kids - a son Seven Sirius Benjamin, 10, and a girl, Puma Rose, 3 - so as a mom, don't you have to have some perception of time? Like to know when it's time to pick your kid up from school or make meals?

A few other gems:

How many people have you truly loved?
"I've always wanted the best for the people in my life. Except for one person: Bombita. She was in the fifth grade with me. And she can die."

What? Who holds a grudge from the fifth grade? Badu is 37 now - uh, time to move on. Even the interviewer was confused:

What?
"She was mean. She used to step on my toes, anything to make me mad. I hope she's a ghetto statistic. And if that keeps me out of Heaven, then so be it."

Who was the last person you punched?
"My sister. And was pregnant. (laughs) Well, she was talking shit!"

I'm not sure what else to say. She's certainly, ~~crazy~~ unique. You can read the full article here. Have fun.

I had no idea that Slash wore glasses. Too obvious? What about a Hair Bear comment?

Seriously, I make fun of a lot of celebrities on here, mostly out of uncontrollable spite (I'm getting help), but never out of jealousy. Until now. That hair is freaking awesome. Erykah Badu has more hair on her head than my whole bowling team on our collective back. Tell me that coif isn't impressive, it's like 80% of her body weight.

That reminds me, I'm out of Rogaine.
