Carnie Wilson Expecting Another Girl

Karl Erikson — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:34:00 GMT

Singer Carnie Wilson, of the defunct Wilson Phillips, is expecting another daughter and shared the girl's name Tuesday on the "Bonnie Hunt Show." "It's Luciana but we'll call her Lucy," Carnie said. "Isn't that great?"

The 40-year-old singer says she's craving cheese and bagels. She's happy with where she's at, weight-wise, even though her weight has been slowly increasing since losing 150 pounds with gastric bypass surgery in 1999. "I'm glad that I lost 50 pounds before I got pregnant," Carnie says, "but honestly, I just push the big old pause button when I get pregnant."

Lucy will be Carnie's second child with husband Rob Bonfiglio. Their first daughter, Lola Sofia, is almost 4 years old. When Lola found out about the new baby, she said, "Mommy, Mommy, you're pregnant!"

"It was a beautiful thing," said Carnie.

Congrats to Carnie and Rob.

Matt Damon and His Right Hook

Matt Damon packed on thirty pounds for his role in The Informant and now is having a little trouble getting it off. Welcome to the club of getting older.

Matt has turned to boxing to help him knock off the extra pounds. He said: "If you put it on, it's easier to get it back off. I'm just boxing. I figure if you get hit enough times, it will fall off!"

I need that kind of dedication to get my booty up and out.

Picture of Honor Marie & A Little More Interview From Jessica Alba

trix — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:15:00 GMT

Jessica Alba and Honor Marie grace the cover of OK! Magazine. Jessica talks about the birth and gives us a peek into what Honor Marie is like so far.

In the OK! exclusive Jessica told the magazine, "It hasn't totally sunk in, she dreams, she smiles, and coos and does all these things, but she hasn't seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she's connected to the other world, or something. There's no other way to explain it. It's a miracle."

Cash could only marvel at his wife's quiet strength when she gave birth. "She didn't make a sound," he says. "It was amazing."

I can't believe she's already a month and a half old! She may seem a miracle now, but it just gets better from here on out.

Jennifer Lopez Is Almost as Skinny as Marc Anthony

Whit Honea — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:34:00 GMT

I know we've made a big deal about J.Lo's post-babies weight loss (see below), but how's this for perspective? She is about the same size as her husband Marc Anthony, who is almost as famous for his lack of weight as he is for his singing. He's a singer, right?

Salma Hayek On Motherhood

Karen — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:33:00 GMT

There's no question Salma Hayek is enjoying motherhood, and she recently sat down with Glamour Magazine to tell the public all about it:

On becoming a mother at age 41:
"I believe that change keeps you young. I’m a late bloomer; I always have been. I’m 41, and I know a lot of women think that this is the time when you start getting depressed. To that I say, “No, no, no, no, no!” I’m having the best time of my life."

On the best thing that's happened in her life: "The best thing that’s ever happened to me is this thing that has happened to so many women, which is having a baby. Every second is magical, every smile. I cannot get enough of it, because I am not sitting here thinking, What am I going to do with my life? I’ve already established my career. I think it’s very good to have a child at this age. I’m in a great place."

On how Valentina has changed her:
"I don’t remember very well who I was before. Part of me feels like it’s so new and so strange to have a baby, and part of me feels like I’ve known [her] face forever. Somehow I am really relaxed within the chaos of having a baby -- and anyone who’s a mother knows it’s very hard to relax, because there is so much to do and worry about! I just feel so fortunate to be her mother, and it makes me excited about the rest of my life, because I will get to witness her transformation every day. I feel I was born to have this girl."

On her pregnancy:
"I really embraced pregnancy. I enjoyed it. It came to me and I said, 'OK, this is where I go now.' I had diabetes while I was pregnant. I became huge. And I said, 'This is what it takes for me to have this baby, and I really want it.' Then you don’t know if it’s going to be healthy; you are completely out of control. So the experience really makes you humble."

On the surprises of motherhood:
"Well, I have to confess something -- I wanted a boy. At the beginning I did. Probably because I was afraid. I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters. But now that she’s here, I’m so happy she’s a girl. And I can’t imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does. If she does a poop and I have to change the diaper, I love that moment!"

On her relationship with Valentina's father, Francois-Henri Pinault [he lives in Paris, she lives in Los Angeles]:
"To most women it’s crazy. But every relationship is unique, and in order to make it work you have to be willing to listen—not only to your partner, but to the relationship itself. You have to be brave enough to say, 'This is who we are: We might not look like the perfect couple, or like our parents did, but this is our love story.'"

Salma Smacks Down The Paps

HerBadMother — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:23:00 GMT

Ooooh, Salma Hayek is hot when she's angry!

Hayek lost her cool during a confrontation with a paparazzo yesterday outside New York’s Bergdorf & Goodman, a store close to the hotel where she and her fiancé François-Henri Pinault are staying, becoming furious when the photographer got too close to her daughter, Valentina Paloma. The two were leaving the store when the photographer tried to get in for a close-up of baby. Salma immediately reacted, waving her arms and shouting at the paparazzo to get away from her child.

I can't blame her. I understand that the paps are just doing their jobs, but there is such a thing as too close, especially when it comes to babies. (Boobs are a different story, of course, but photogs don't need to get too close to Salma to get clear shots of the boobies. Those things have their own solar system.)

Salma Hayek: Milk Factory

Karen — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:03:00 GMT

Salma Hayek is using "industrial-size breast pump" to lose her baby weight, it has been claimed.

The 'Ugly Betty' actress gave birth to her first child Valentina Paloma last September. Now she is resorting to extreme measures after friends told her breastfeeding is the best way to shed post-pregnancy pounds.

A friend of the actress said: "Salma has been pumping and freezing endless amounts of breast milk. When she's not feeding Valentina, she's hooked up to an industrial-size breast pump."

How awful. Been there, done that.

The friend added to Star magazine: "Whatever she does, she still can't drop the extra pounds."

Lactation expert Susan Condon has warned Salma not to push her body and try to lose weight too quickly: "After you have your baby, if what you eat is varied and well balanced, breastfeeding can help you lose your pregnancy weight without compromising either your health or your baby's by dieting. And you naturally burn calories to make breast milk every time you nurse."

"The best way of losing weight is to work toward a gradual weight loss, eat when you're hungry, and make sure you get enough fluids. It's the best way of losing weight easily and safely!"

Maybe Susan Condon should also let Hayek know that the more you pump, the more you produce.

Trista and Ryan's Baby Max Makes His Video Debut

Karen — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 14:33:00 GMT

Trista Sutter, the first TV bride from the show "The Bachelorette," videoblogs a few tidbits about motherhood, surprises, and baby Max. Mom and Dad met and married on TV, so having Max on the net? Well naturally.

The video was made for MomLogic, but when I did a search over there, all I found was this video, knocking Trista for losing her baby weight too fast and talking about it in US Weekly in October.

TMZ has the Max/Trista videoblog here.
