Brooke Burke Is Just Like Us

trix — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:04:00 GMT

Brooke Burke knows what it's like to be sleep deprived like the rest of us. She just looks better.

Brooke recently wrote in her blog:

We are finally settled in our home. Shaya just turned 3 months old, and I feel like I have just surfaced. I am so sorry that I have not blogged in months. Any of you who have already had your baby know where I am coming from! Anyway, Shaya’s naps are getting longer, and my nighttime sleep intervals have gone from 2 hours to 4, thank God! The other day I googled sleep deprivation and I had no idea how responsible my sleepless nights were for everything I had been feeling. It effects your memory, metabolism, and of course patience for everyone in your family. I am happy to say it does get better, so hang in there new moms.

Last month was pregnancy awareness month and I was asked to speak on a panel about the work/life balance. I was invited to speak to hundreds of other working moms about how I do it. I had to laugh to myself as I thought of what a metaphor the topic is. Balancing motherhood and a career is my most challenging thing. I have realized in my experience that there is no right or wrong way to rear your children, and I had a hard time giving advice on “how to do it”. I have learned a lot from other moms, but I focus most on figuring out what works best for my family. I know that everything is curable with love. I tried to encourage moms to do the best they can and give themselves a break on the days when it doesn’t seem good enough. I also have to admit that I am a different mom the fourth time around. I think that is because there is a lot less of me to devote to all of them after you do the math. I am also starting to go back to work and there is always the guilt when I have to spend all day away from my babies. Somehow, it all works out, even though there is no perfect way.

I just designed a new product for the store. I have been using it to work out and lose the rest of my belly inches. It’s like Tauts but made out of neoprene. It is called Baboosh Body Sport and it is to be worn while you exercise. The fabric will make your core area sweat like crazy!!!! Great news, it is for Dads too.

Love, Brooke

Ah, Brooke, you sound so down to earth and it sounds like you have the same struggles the rest of us have.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

OMG They Want EIGHT Kids! Are They Nuts?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:08:00 GMT

There's one celebrity couple (and not it's not Angelina and Brad) who want a big, big family. They're on their way I suppose - they have one child thus far, are pregnant with their second and mama's in her early 20's and hopes to have her last kid by the time she's 32. Seriously, eight???

Singer Charlotte Church and her rugby playing boyfriend Gavin Henson say they want a big brood. Charlotte recently chatted with talk show host Jonathon Ross about family:

"I want between four and six and Gavin wants eight. I want all my babies by the time I’m 32 so then I can have everything done!” She told Ross: ”We want to have our babies young and then I’m going to get married and look fabulous for that. We’re trying to create a little rugby team.”

That's a lotta kids - but they have a way to go before they catch up with Brangelina! Have fun makin' babies though. Their daughter Ruby Megan is 9-months-old.

OMG!! Baby # 2 On The Way So Soon?!!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:34:00 GMT

She's 22, and she has barely had time to recover from her first baby and she's got a bun in the oven already?! Wow, she and her husband work fast, fast, fast. She's absolutely going to have her hands full with two kids so close in age. Fun, but hectic! So who's having baby # 2 so soon?

Charlotte Church and husband Gavin Henson have just announced their second child is on the way! They have a nine month old daughter, Ruby Megan.

Her official website reads:

“Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are delighted to announce that they are expecting another baby. The couple are thrilled, as are their immediate families.

Meanwhile, Charlotte has confirmed that she will fulfill her commitment to Channel 4 to present the third [season] of The Charlotte Church Show in July and August of this year.”

Congrats to Charlotte, Gavin and baby Ruby Megan!

Guess The Celebrity Baby Bumps!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:38:00 GMT

So many celebrity moms-to-be, so many celebrity baby bumps, and these are just a small sampling of famous women that are expecting! Can you guess who's bump belongs to what celeb? Perhaps I'll give you a few hints. One: She's actually popped! And TV is her specialty. Two: She's very pretty, going to be a first time mom, and her man is one of the 'sexiest men alive.' Three: She rocks her baby bump! Four: Her baby might be a well-travelled infant if daddy has anything to say about it. Five: She's young but seemingly being very responsible. Six: She's not a new mom, infact, she's got quite a brood. What are your guesses?

Answers & photos after the jump!

#1- Ulrika Jonsson, 40, Television presenter welcomed her fourth child, a son, Malcolm Monet. Her older kids are Cameron, 13, Bo, 7, and Marth, four. Baby weighed in at 10 lb. Now that's a whopper! Congrats!

# 2-Camila Alves, who's partner is Matthew McConaughey and they're about to become first time parents. By the looks of that cute bump, she's ready to pop any day!

# 3-Gwen Stefani, who's maybe the coolest pregnant chick ever. She manages to still be glamorous and hair and makeup perfect! She's reportedly due around the same as Angelina - who's not giving up her secret.

# 4-Nicole Kidman, who's hubby Keith Urban is having to learn 'baby lingo' to get ready for his first little guy. Daddy Keith wants Nic and baby to come on tour with him!

# 5-Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, who is due very soon. She could be having that baby in the next few days. She's had a rough go of it, but I think she's going to do okay being a first time, teen parent. Boyfriend and baby daddy is Casey Aldridge.

# 6-Angelina Jolie - obvious wasn't it? She's due now, tomorrow or in 2 months, she's not saying! The mom of soon-to-be twins, wants to keep everyone guessing. I keep trying to get it out of Jack Black.

Celebrity Moms & Dads - Then & Now

Sassy Smith — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:08:00 GMT

Everyone, including celebrities, have those photos lurking around, from the old days of high school or before braces were put on and teeth straightened, or big hair of the 80's (those were awful days right?) Some are parents of only one child, while others are continuing to add to their families. I can safely say, just about every one of them has improved in the looks department - or they've at least grown into themselves. Hey, maybe it's becoming parents that makes us more cool?!

Photos after the jump!

Will Smith, actor, and father to three adorable kids - two with wife Jada Pinkett-Smith and oldest son "Trey" is from Smith's first marriage to Sheree Zamping. He's not your conventional hunk, but cute in his own way and he's definitely grown into his looks.

Johnny Depp, 44, - sigh. I don't think he's ever had an ugly period. Seriously, this is a man who looks good even while costumed out as Edward Scissorhands. He's got two kids with partner Vanessa Paradis.

Sarah Jessica Parker, 43, - from the 80's sitcom to the enorminity of her Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw character, she's come along way. She absolutely had the dreaded big hair of the 1980's (me too, sadly). She and actor husband Matthew Broderick have one son, 5-year-old James Wilke.

Nicole Kidman, mom to two teens - Isabella and Connor - with ex-husband Tom Cruise and pregnant with her first with husband Keith Urban, has certainly grown into her looks. When Nicole steps away from the botox, she looks great! Hopefully after her son is born, she won't resort back to it. Her face is naturally pretty without inserting needles into it, just to give her that frozen look!

Brad Pitt, 44-year-old actor and father of 23 kids - naw, kidding, just 4 and two on the way. He's always been hot even when he went through a sort of nerdy phase. I'll always remember the first time I saw him - in Thelma and Louise - I knew he'd be my boyfriend some day. What? A girl can dream right?

Demi Moore, Hollywood icon and mom to three teen daughters with ex Bruce Willis. She's married to her much younger boytoy (you go girl!) Ashton Kutcher, and they perhaps are expecting their first child together? Time will tell. She's always been attractive - not in a beautiful sort of way - but she certainly makes heads turn. She even rocked a bald head in the film G.I. Jane.

Keanu Reeves, 43, has definitely improved in the looks department and also in the acting department. He's never really settled down and sadly his late girlfriend and he never got to know their daughter, as she was stillborn. Little Ava Archer Syme Reeves lies next to her mother Jennifer Syme in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cementary.

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher has certainly become more sophisticated in her looks, getting rid of the giant eyebrows that she used to sport. I still think she's a bit on the thin side, but hey, she claims she eats and that's all that matters. She's single mom to 10-year-old daughter, Emerson Rose.

Angelina Jolie, 32, about to birth twins. She's just become more beautiful, even when hugely pregnant. I keep vowing to hate her. Join me? She and Brad Pitt are parents to Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3 and Shiloh, 2. Their twin girls are due soon.

Halle Berry, 41, new mommy to daughter Nahla, while never really went through an awkward stage from what I can see, has gotten more beautiful over the years. She absolutely seems like a woman who knows what she wants and oozes sex appeal without even trying. Another one I'm vowing to hate. Ha.

Breast Is Best - So Says Charlotte Church

Sassy Smith — Wed, 14 May 2008 18:39:00 GMT

Charlotte Church is on a mission - the 22-year-old who gave birth to daugther Ruby nearly 8 months ago - wants new, young moms to know that although breastfeeding can come with some difficult challenges, "breast is best."

The singer has started a compaign to get younger moms - those under 20 - to breastfeed their babies, hoping that her own story of struggles with breastfeeding will inspire, and she wants to show other moms that they can be overcome and mother and baby can benefit from the experience. Charlotte herself developed an infection, saying, “We got through it. There are trials and tribulations but in general it is so much easier than formula feeding.”

Statistics in the UK show that only 4 out of 10 young moms breastfeed (under 20 years of age) and that nearly 75% of older moms (in their 30s) breastfeed. Church wants to change that.

Charlotte said, at the launch of the Welsh Assembly Government campaign on Monday, "I wanted to breastfeed because I wanted to do my best for my baby.

“Giving birth was much more scary – after you have given birth, breastfeeding is a walk in the park.

“It just felt like the completely natural and right thing to do. It is such a bonding experience with your baby.”

Charlotte said her partner Gavin Henson was very supportive of her breastfeeding. "As soon as I started breastfeeding I could definitely feel everything getting back into shape much quicker."

Hopefully she finds great success in her campaign!

Breastfeeding Promotes Weightloss - Lies! So Says Salma Hayek

Sassy Smith — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:07:00 GMT

Actress and new mom Salma Hayek recently appeared on the Oprah Show and according to her, she believes that breastfeeding does not help with weightloss.

Here's what she said in part about pregnancy, breastfeeding and weightloss:

“Yes, and I’m still working on it. I gained a lot of weight, I had gestational diabetes. The pregnancy was really difficult for me. I thought, as soon as this baby is out, I’m just going to lose the weight super fast, because I’m going to breast feed, and everybody tells you that if you breastfeed it’s going to come out like this, it’s a lie! It’s not true.”

“Except for a couple of exceptions, the only reason people lose weight like that when they’re breastfeeding, it’s because they’re not eating and they’re breastfeeding, and this is not good for the baby. You know how they tell you it takes nine months to get it, nine months to lose it? There are shortcuts, but it’s not good for the baby. So I’m taking my time. I’ve lost a lot, most of the weight, and I’m very proud of it because it’s been really hard work studying what kind of food to eat that’s healthy for me, healthy for the baby. But I’m still losing even if it’s slow, and I’ve been working out… and the rest is going to go when it’s time to go.”

Every woman is different, so I suppose for some, breastfeeding might help in the weightloss department while it might not work for others. If you're having trouble getting back to your pre-baby figure, try JLo's method. Ha!

Keri Russell's Night Out

Whit Honea — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:30:00 GMT

When most new moms get a big night out it involves Chili's and shots of Jager. Not Keri Russell, she got all dressed up and went to the Oscars. I think the Jager is in the handbag.
