Mayim Bialik Considers Acting Return

Karl Erikson — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:33:00 GMT

Mayim Bialik, 33, star of the 80s show "Blossom," is one smart cookie. She left acting to go for her PhD in neuroscience. But it looks like the mom of two is going to return to acting.

"I am actually auditioning and sticking a toe back into the industry," Mayim says. "I am very happy I got my degree and I worked very hard on my theses, but in terms of having kids and the family life we have, academia right now is not where I can go."

Mayim has 3-year-old Miles and 5-month-old Frederick with her husband, Michael Stone.

Joely Fisher and the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:07:00 GMT

If the Boom Boom Room was a golf course then Joely Fisher would have been in my foursome. It seemed like the two of us, our children, Heather Christie, and Kenny Johnson (with his lovely, pregnant wife), were always in the same area. That's a big foursome.

Joely Fisher was great. She posed for pictures with the vendors and made small-talk with my boys. It's like she didn't even care that I was famous, which was really refreshing.

Fisher, Christie and Johnson were among the many celebrities that attended the Boom Boom Room’s Children’s Gifting Wonderland in Century City, CA this past weekend.

Looks like "Blossom" child star Mayim Bialik has given birth to her second child! Mayim, 32, was seeing nursing her baby during her wait for husband Michael Stone and 3-year-old son Milo in LA. TMZ says the baby's name is Fred. Wow, a nice normal name for a celebrity baby. Freaky.

Mayim, by the way? She has a PhD in neuroscience, which she got last year. Now there's a smart mommy. Congrats, Mayim and Michael!

Jamie Lynn Out With Baby Maddie

Karen — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:02:00 GMT

Jamie Lynn was spotted running errands with baby Maddie, and she sure doesn't look happy that the paps are hovering. At least they are keeping their distance it seems.

Jamie Lynn took Maddie to a medical appointment, then to Wal-Mart, then they hit a Spears' family favorite: Nyla's Burger Basket.

It's interesting to see Jamie Lynn acting like a Mama Bear. She's all; "Stay away from my baby!" So so so glad I'm not famous! I'd claw the photographers faces off!

TONS OF PHOTOS AFTER THE JUMP!

More Jamie Lynn OK! Magazine Photos

Karen — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:32:00 GMT

Just think, 16 more years and this one will be having a baby too!

Oh whatever. Apparently it's really easy for teen moms!

Jamie Lynn's Delivery Room Drama!

Karen — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:32:00 GMT

Star magazine is reporting that it was quite a dramatic entry into the world for little Maddie Briann. At the center of it was an inexperienced teenager, surrounded by mom Lynne and sister Britney trying to explain to Jamie that her actions could kill her baby. But the Zoey 101 star would not listen.

"The baby's heart rate dropped every time she tried to push," a family insider tells Star. "They did an ultrasound and quickly discovered that the umbilical cord was too short." But despite the doctors' dire warnings, the 17-year-old "was adamant about having a natural delivery."

Everyone in the room at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss., pleaded with Jamie Lynn to listen to the doctors — including big sister Britney. Brit had already been with Jamie Lynn for hours, massaging her back as she endured painful contractions. "But she got mad," says the insider. She told Jamie Lynn to "just have a damn Caesarian," as she did. "Britney then ran out in tears because she couldn't bear to see what was happening."

The girls mother, Lynne, only added to the tension. "Lynne was already angry because her daughter didn't want her in the delivery room at all," says the source. "But she had insisted on being there, along with Casey Aldridge, Jamie Lynn's boyfriend. Jamie Lynn cussed and yelled at her mom, and told her to get out. She cursed Lynne for bringing her into the world to bear such pain."

I just keep shaking my head. Lynne sounds like a freaking drama-causing toolkit. I can't WAIT for her stupid book to come out. They should hand it out to every pregnant teenager with a big sticker that says EPIC FAIL.

Secrets of How Celebrity Moms Lost Their Baby Weight

Karen — Sat, 03 May 2008 18:28:00 GMT

The other day, Sassy showed you pictures of celebrity moms before and after the births of their babies.

How did they lose the weight?

Read on!

Christina Aguilera - The boobs have it! Christina credits breastfeeding, kickboxing and strength training in shedding pregnancy pounds. Not all at the same time I hope!

Nicole RIchie - often critisized before pregnancy about her possible eating disorder, now that she's a new Mama, she's not dieting at all. Richie also breastfeeds and it's not recommended that you diet while nursing.

Jamie Pressley - Hard core! She has said she worked out two hours a day, five days a week, using resistance weights. She also credits the cabbage soup diet, which consists of eating nothing else but cabbage soup for seven days. Sounds awful.

Naomi Watts - Watts credits breastfeeding and the use of a personal trainer.

Milla Jovovich - gained 70 pounds while pregnant. Jovovich turned to celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak within two months of giving birth. Pasternak had her working out every part of her body five days a week and following his 5-Factor Diet, which consists of eating five meals a day.

Mel B - concentrated on calorie control and hiking, swimming, running hills and, of course, Dancing With The Stars!

Tori Spelling - used Nutrisystem after the birth of Liam. Mmm prepackaged drywall. Why can't people just eat healthy without the use of crap like this? YUCK.

Jenna Elfman - also blames her breastfeeding for slimming down. She also walked, ate healthy, and used light weights.

Salma Hayek - has had a really hard time losing her baby weight, she says. Breastfeeding really didn't do much for her (me either Salma, since I was always sitting on the couch!), so she resorted to the only safe way: eating properly and working out.

Bridget Moynahan - says walking and cutting sugar out of her diet helped her. She also nursed her son, John Edward Thomas.

Pushing Daisies Star Was Not Pushing Herself After Baby

Karen — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:32:00 GMT

Pushing Daisies star Anna Friel denies reports that claimed she was desperate to lose post-baby weight after the birth of daughter Gracie Ellen Mary in July 2005.

"My whole family is quite petite so I have good genes on my side," Anna told Celebs on Sunday. "But I find it quite tiresome that we have to keep talking about sizes and how much weight we can lose. I was just disciplined. I knew I had to get back into shape after six weeks for the film Goal II, but I cheated in the end - I wore a corset."

"I've been labelled an irresponsible role model for young mothers, but none of it is true," she continued. "I couldn't even walk for two weeks after the birth, let alone exercise. I ate very healthily all the way through my pregnancy and afterwards. I didn't do anything extreme. There were reports of me using fat-sucking machines and all sorts of silliness. All I did was walk a lot and breast-feed."

See that's where I went wrong. All I did was utilize my license to eat when I was pregnant, and then sit on my ass and breast-feed afterwards. Damn!

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.

Naomi Watts Is Such An "After"

BadKitty — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:04:00 GMT

Naomi Watts, who looked so dazzling at the Calvin Klein show, attributed it all to good underwear and classic lines.

Who remembers this shot from right after Alexander's birth? Now look at her here, just three short months later, out and about in London. She looks amazing! That's not just underwear, it's good genes and probably a ton of hard work. Also nursing. Plus, never underestimate the value of a super cute hat.

She's an inspiration to all of us, post-partum or not.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Bares Fangs, Not Breasts, to Katie Holmes

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:05:00 GMT

Maggie Gyllenhaal to Katie Holmes: Suck on this! Breast-feeding enthusiast Gyllenhaal, who is taking over Holmes' role in the Batman series, has some thinly-veiled barbs for Tom Cruise's wife. "I’m not walking into Katie Holmes’ performance. I’m thinking of it as an opportunity to play somebody who’s alive and smart. Chris (Nolan the director) asked me to do this because he wanted me, not because he wants some generic lady in a dress.” Ouch.

My money's on Gyllenhaal in this Celebrity Mom Smackdown. Besides, Holmes is busy with things other than acting. Like perfecting her shag.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Takes A Walk, Totally Hot Brother Jake is Nowhere in Sight

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 20:35:00 GMT

Here's Maggie Gyllenhaal in Manhattan, taking a stroll with 7-month old daughter Ramona and taking precautions to keep her breasts under wraps.

You may recall Gyllenhaal made quite a stir when she had the audacity to breastfeed her own baby in public. Later she was attacked by an angry mob for other unspeakable acts like breathing and sitting on a park bench. These stars and their freakish habits.

Speaking of stars getting their freak on, Maggie's brother Jake is still hot.

Maybe Britney's Still Nursing

BadKitty — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:11:00 GMT

Because that would explain why she'd need fast access to the girls, right? Also why she's always carrying a cup - nursing makes you very, very thirsty! Yeah, and maybe she has a breast pump in her bag, and that's why she takes so long in the bathroom.

See, everyone is always hating when there is a perfectly reasonable explanation out there. Damn y'all!

Maggie Gyllenhaal Nurses in Public. Again.

Stefania Pomponi Butler (CityMama) — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 18:06:00 GMT

With the way Maggie Gyllenhaal whips her breasts out all over town, you'd think doing it on purpose just to piss people off. I mean, could her baby, Ramona, possibly need to eat that much? And in public, no less? In front of a bunch of paparazzi? You'd think she had an agenda or something. Like, is she trying to show people that breast feeding is natural and breasts are for feeding babies and if you have a problem with it, it's your problem and no one else's?

(Which is just another way of saying, rock on wit yo' bad seff, Maggie! You aaaaalmost make me wish I was still nursing.)
