Jessica Simpson Celebrates Husband’s Birthday With Maxwell, Writes Blog About Motherhood

Jessica Simpsons Blogs, Celebrates Eric Johnson's Birthday

Jessica Simpson‘s husband Eric Johsnson celebrated his 33rd birthday over the weekend and his wifey just posted some pictures of the celebration. Their daughter Maxwell was the center of attention, clearly. Jessica tweets linked to her website and the first one read, “Last year at Daddy’s party, Maxwell was in my belly. This year she’s in my arms!” Another tweet followeed by, “Daddy’s 33rd Birthday!” The two photographs you see above were attached to these messages and we couldn’t help but coo over  them. How adorable is little Max’s bow! Jessica’s been a busy mom this week as she also wrote a column for iVillage on motherhood. It’s the five points Jess has learnt since having Maxwell. One of them is, also seeing Eric in a new light as a did. She gave him major props, by saying, “Watching him as a dad is probably one of the sexiest things I have ever seen. There is something about having these big hands on this little baby that is, by far, one of the sexiest things in the world.” She also revealed that she’s become a germophobe, writing, “I’ve never been germ-a-phobic at all. And when we were on the plane and I was wearing socks and normally when I get up to go to the bathroom — I know it sounds bad — but I don’t put my shoes on. I just have socks on. And this time I was like ‘That is SO disgusting!’ My daughter’s going to be sitting in my lap!” There’s the Jessica TMI we know and love so much, right?

Shakira Announces That She’s Pregnant, Will Drop Out Of Music Festival

Shakira is joining the ranks of celebrity moms, as the Colombian singer announced this afternoon that she’s expecting her first child! Unfortunately for her fans, it means that they won’t be able to see her perform in Las Vegas at the iHeartRadio Music Festival this Friday, but we have a feeling that they’ll be more than forgiving! The 35-year-old is well on her way to starting a family with her boyfriend, soccer player Gerard Pique.

The lovely blonde with the truthful hips released the following statement on her website today:

As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby! At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days.

This means I will not be able to be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I’m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there!

I’d like to thank Clear Channel and my fans for their constant love and understanding.

Big kiss!
And will see you very soon!
Shak.

Congrats to the soon-to-be mom and dad! Will this affect her role as a newly minted judge on The Voice this winter alongside Usher? We’ll have to wait and see!

Swizz Beatz’s Baby Egypt Is Too Cool For School And For New York Fashion Week

Swizz Beatz brings son Egypt to Fashion Week

We’ve been to New York Fashion Week, and we spent most of these experience being scared out of our damn minds, worried that our outfit was as out of style as a powdered blue leisure suit and that we’d be spat at by uber hip dudes in front of fancy models and assorted celebrities. Thankfully this did not happen, but it was still pretty nerve wracking. But little Egypt Dean didn’t seemed to mind it much that much. In fact, he seems right at home!

The little tyke showed up with dad Swizz Beatz for a front row seat at the Jeremy Scott show at Milk Studio last night. With his sweet tie-dye kicks and too-cool sunglasses, the kid could have been on the runway himself. He even found time to chat up Paris Hilton, before checking his (maybe his dad’s) iPhone. Stock prices, perhaps? Or maybe he was sending a quick email to his mom Alicia Keys. Man, we wish we possessed the self confidence of this one-year-old. You rock that pacifier, kid! Check out all the cuteness and coolness in the gallery below!

Nick Lachey And Vanessa Minnillo Have A Baby Boy

Nick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo Have A Baby Boy

The last we saw of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, the lady was rocking a gigantic baby bump. Seriously bumpin’ in a bandeau top and she looked positively glowing and lovely! And that was a month and a half ago. We’re just surprised she didn’t pop earlier. But Vanessa has finally given birth to a lovely little baby boy, who made his big appearance in the evening yesterday. The couple have already given People a statement, which has also revealed the name of their newborn son! Their announcement reads, “We are incredibly proud to announce the birth of our beautiful baby boy, Camden John Lachey. Born today at 6:54 p.m., he came into this world at 8 lbs., 9 oz. and 21 inches. Love has truly been redefined for both of us.” The couple announced Vanessa’s pregnancy back in March when Nick was guest-hosting Live With Kelly where he revealed, “She started to feel a little different, not herself so she went to the store, got a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. So we are having a baby! I’ve had a chance to do a lot of great things in my career and my life but this is the one thing that, more than any other, I look forward to. The fact that it’s actually here, it’s overwhelming.” And now it’s really, really here. What awesome news. We wish the new parents love and luck!

Giuliana And Bill Rancic Show Off Baby Edward Duke In Life & Style

Bill, Giuliana and Edward Duke Rancic

In the latest issue of Life & Style, Bill and Giuliana Rancic aren’t exactly saying anything earth-shattering about their first couple weeks of being brand new parents to baby Edward Duke — “I had always heard that when you have a baby it completes your life — and it’s true,” she said; and he added, “Every day he’s changing — it’s just remarkable to see.” But in the few quotes we’ve seen from the magazine debut of their son, you can also tell that their happiness is heightened by how long and desperately they’ve worked and waited for this moment. Fertility treatments, breast cancer, getting gestational carrier, reality TV — it’s taken a whole lot to get them to this point, so it’s sort of like they have a right to appreciate this more than your typical celebrity parents. No offense to typical celebrity parents.

“I couldn’t believe that all those years of struggling and the tears actually paid off,” Giuliana told the mag. “Every shot, every doctor’s visit — in the end, when you’re holding your baby in your arms, you forget it all, and it’s worth it.”

Apparently, Giuliana even enjoys changing diapers. “I’d never changed more than a diaper or two in my life,” she said. “Now it’s like the littlest things that make me happy — happier than I’ve ever been.”

Anna Paquin And Stephen Moyer Welcome Their Twin Vamp-Babies!

Since that other vampire baby is currently dealing with her parents’ de facto trial separation (ohhhhh, can that be the plot of the fifth Twilight book? Which we assume will be called Around Brunch Time? That would certainly be a twist, wouldn’t it?), let’s all dedicate our supernatural squeeing to Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer‘s brand-new baby twins! “We can confirm that Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer recently welcomed their twins into the world,” the reps for the True Blood costars told Us Magazine this afternoon. “The babies were born a few weeks early, but are in good health and both Mom and Dad are overjoyed.” No word as to whether Anna Paquin had to be turned into one of the undead in order to avoid an untimely death during vampire childbirth, but hey, we all know how it works. It’s just undead science!

The no-doubt adorable vamp-babies are Paquin’s first children, while Moyer has two kids from previous relationships. Though the world has known about the incoming Paquin-Moyers since April, the names and sexes of the newborns have yet to be announced. Fortunately for Anna and Stephen, Sookie is technically a unisex name. Bill, not so much…

Snooki’s Baby Lorenzo Makes His Adorable Debut On People

Snooki and baby Lorenzo Dominic LaValle

Wearing Italian flag booties and a onesie with a chain printed on it, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle and his mama, Snooki, grace the cover of this week’s People. Not that you’re really paying attention to his outfit at first, ’cause that mug of his is distractingly cute. Which makes up for the fact that most of the quotes Snooki gives about motherhood sound exactly like every other magazine interview with a first-time mother.

“It’s a different kind of love that I never felt before,” she told the magazine. But she also made a promise that pretty much explains why the Jersey Shore is ending at just the right time, following the upcoming season: “When I got pregnant, everything changed. The partying is long gone. I’m a new person.”

Fiance Jionni LaValle and Snooki also explained the origins of their son’s name: Jionni knew a kid in his hometown named Lorenzo, and Dominic is the name of Snooki’s late uncle. “I did it for my dad,” she said.

Another adorable photo of the happy family is available on MTV News.

Tori Spelling Gives Birth To A Baby Boy!

Tori Spelling Gives Birth To A Baby Boy

And that’s number four for Tori Spelling and hubby Dean McDermott. Tori gave birth to a baby boy yesterday and we know that he decided to make his grand entrance into the world at 5:39 in the evening and weighed in at 6 lbs., 6 oz. and is 20 inches long. How do we know all of this? Because an ecstatic Tori released the news on her website yesterday, and through it, also gave us the name of her newborn son. “Please join us in welcoming Finn Davey McDermott,” the message read adding all details of the time of birth and his vital statistics and signed off with “Love, Tori, Dean, Liam, Stella, and Hattie.” We love the name! There’s something old-school and charming about it, isn’t there? Little Finn joins his older siblings — Liam Aaron, 5, Stella Doreen, 4, and Hattie Margaret, who is only 10 months. That’s right, Tori announced her fourth pregnancy just five months after giving birth to Hattie! But hey — this looks like one very happy, burgeoning brood. We’re sending out major congratulations to the whole clan! Yay for baby Finn! We can’t wait to see a picture soon. We’re hoping Tori or Dean (or both) tweet one ASAP!
