Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer Are Expecting Twins


Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer Are Expecting Twins! What's in the water on the set of True Blood?
A source confirms to Us Weekly that Anna Paquin, 29, and her husband of nearly two years, Stephen Moyer, 42, are expecting a double delivery in the fall!


"I'm so excited for them," the couple's costar Sam Trammell -- father to 11-month-old twins Winston and Gus with girlfriend Missy Yager -- shared with Us recently when we chatted with him about the double baby news at Planet Hollywood's Gallery Nightclub in Las Vegas. "We sent them a special gift. It's so interesting that True Blood has become, like, the 'twins' show."

And though Moyer has two children, Lilac, 10, and Billy, 12, from a previous relationship, he's been listening intently to Trammell's advice on the ins and outs of raising multiples.

"It's harder, having twins, but it's all we know. So we're trying to impart some decent wisdom," Trammell added. "I told them to hold on tight!"

But Moyer is up for the challenge. "It's always amazing," he told Zap2it in May of his wife's pregnancy. "I love my kids so much. And I think that the fact that Anna is pregnant just adds more crazy to the bundle of fun."[usmagazine.com]

Pink Shows Off Slim, Post-Baby Bod in Slinky Black Gown

Pink Shows Off Slim, Post-Baby Bod in Slinky Black Gown
What baby weight?


Pink and hubby Carey Hart stopped by PETA's Stand Up for Animals bash in L.A. together Wednesday night, where the dramatically slimmed down singer, 32 -- who gave birth to daughter Willow Sage just one year ago -- showed off her stunning figure in a slinky, silky black gown.

"They were side-by-side all night and Pink seemed like she was in a great mood. She looked slim and fabulous!" an eyewitness tells Us Weekly. "Carey was very smiley and looked dotingly at Pink."

Since giving birth to her daughter last June, the pop star has confessed she may be a little too attached to her and Hart's bundle of joy

"She is so yummy, I can't stand it. I want her with me at all times," she revealed to Cosmopolitan's June issue. "Even when Carey tries to take her, I'm like, 'No, no, give her back to me.'"

Added the singer sheepishly, "I promised Carey I wasn't going to come here and be that mom who just gushes for hours. But she just makes me so happy."

As thrilled as she is about motherhood, Pink also admitted she didn't necessarily get to experience the pregnancy "glow" so many other moms claim they do.

"I thought I'd feel like a goddess. They sell you on that s--t . . . like you'll never feel more feminine. Really, I just felt like a mess," she shared. "But I kind of enjoyed that too. Hell yeah, I gained 55 pounds. I think my baby might be part cheesecake."[usmagazine.com]

Tips How To Cope Leaking Milk

This few tips how to cope leaking milk for mother

1. Choose your bra carefully. Selecting a properly fitted support bra will decrease the amount of spontaneous discharge by stabilizing your breasts.

2. Where loose fitting tops.

3. Wear a neutral colored blouse. White blouses will actually show liquid stains more than most neutral earth tone blouse.

4. Select synthetic materials. Cotton, wool, and other natural fibers wick the liquid into the material allowing it to spread.

5. Use a breast pump to eliminate excess milk production if your breasts produce more milk than your baby consumes. Bottle feeding an infant will reduce the duration of your milk production, but many prefer the benefits of mother's breast milk.

6. Avoid public appearances in brightly lit areas. Pick times for shopping or outings when less people will be out and about.

7. For excessive leakage where conditions force you to be in public, consider using an absorbent material underneath your bra to help capture the leakage like nursing pads.

8. Keep in mind that although it may be an embarrassing situation, leakage is a natural occurrence, and shouldn't cause unwarranted anxiety.

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian: Why I Haven't Married Scott Disick Yet

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian: Why I Haven't Married Scott Disick Yet
They have been playing house for years, but the former has no intention of making things official.

When Kourtney, 33, Kim, 31, and Khloe, 27, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday, host Jimmy Kimmel, 44, asked the pregnant reality star why there aren't any wedding bells in her and Scott's immediate future.

"Do you wanna be in my therapy session?" Kourtney laughed. "First of all, I have realized that I have major commitment problems during this pregnancy. I'm really claustrophobic, and all my issues -- and I have a lot of them -- they all stem from this thing. I can't commit to anything . . but I love Scott, and he is my partner."

Kourtney added: "We are committed to each other, we are together, we have a great partnership -- I don't think I'm any different than Khloe and Lamar [Odom, 32]."

Kimmel then joked about her sister's 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries, 27. "Why don't you try it for a little while like Kim did?" (The sisters simply smiled at Kimmel's wisecrack.)

The Kardashian trio also discussed the impending birth of Kourtney's second child, due later this month. "The last time I happened to give birth . . .

They only let two people in the room because of the swine flu, so Kim was hiding in the closet and my mom was peeking out," Kourtney recalled.

Like before, Khloe will once again be in the delivery room. "I held the leg and I've been asked to do that again," she explained. Odom's wife then reminded Kimmel that when Mason was born in December 2009, "Kourtney brought her own baby out of her.

The doctor said, 'Are you ready to touch your baby boy?' and she goes, 'OK!' and grabbed him."[usmagazine.com]

Jessica Simpson Steps Out After Giving Birth to Visit Personal Trainer



Jessica Simpson Steps Out After Giving Birth to Visit Personal Trainer
She begin the great slimdown!


Over a month after giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew, Jessica Simpson was photographed out and about for the first time in Hollywood. Sitting in the passenger seat of a car alongside her personal assitant, the 31-year-old fashion designer's mission wasn't a Frappucino run or a shopping spree.

Smiling in a black top and oversized shades, the star was en route to the private gym of celeb trainer Harley Pasternak, who has worked with the likes of Halle Berry, Hilary Duff and many others.

Pasternak is the perfect coach to help Simpson with her admittedly daunting task. The 5-foot-3 star admitted to weighing 170 pounds when she posed nude and pregnant for the April issue of ELLE magazine -- and now, she's looking to fulfill a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers to shed that weight within a year.

"As soon as Jessica heals from the C-section, she is extremely determined to get back in the gym and work out," a confidante told Us Weekly shortly after Maxwell's birth. (Maxwell, Simpson's first child with fiance Eric Johnson, weighed 9 lbs 13 oz at birth.)

"She hasn't even thought about working out for a year!" the source continued last month. But if she wants this, she'll need to work out a good five days a week."[usmagazine.com]

Jessica Simpson Gives Birth to Baby Girl Maxwell Drew Johnson!



Jessica Simpson gave birth to a baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson, in L.A. Tuesday morning, Us Weekly can confirm. This is her first child with fiance Eric Johnson. "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby Maxwell Drew Johnson 9 lbs. 13 oz. 21 3/4," Simpson wrote on her website Tuesday. ""We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives!"

According to a source, little Maxwell (she takes her middle name from her maternal grandmother, Tina Simpson, whose maiden name is Drew) weighed in a 9 lbs. 13 ounces. "Mother and baby are doing just fine," the source tells Us.

After just six months of dating, Simpson, 31, and Johnson, 32, got engaged in November 2010. The pair--who have yet to set a wedding date--had planned to hold off on making it official until after their baby's arrival. Rushing down the aisle isn't a priority for the star and her former NFL player beau, anyway; during a March appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show, Simpson told the host that Johnson "feels like my husband already."

The Texas native was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 until their separation in 2005. (The duo famously documented their life together for MTV's hit reality show, Newlyweds.)

Following her divorce from Lachey, the Dukes of Hazzard actress dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo from 2007 to 2009.

In 2011, both Lachey and Romo tied the knot with their current flames; Romo's wife, Candace Crawford, gave birth to a baby boy Hawkins on April 9, and Lachey's spouse, Vanessa Lachey, is currently expecting the couple's first child.

Simpson first shared her own happy pregnancy news with the world on Twitter last Halloween.

Tweeting a photo of her wrapped in a mummy costume, she wrote, "It's true! I am going to be a mummy!"

Since then, the Fashion Star mentor and Johnson have been counting down the days 'til their little one's arrival. In December, Simpson opened up to Us Weekly about her excitement for "mummy"-hood.

"Eric and I love each other so much, and knowing that I love this baby inside of me is so amazing--I love it so much and I haven't even met them yet," Simpson gushed. "I can't imagine how much love we'll have for it once it finally comes!"

As her due date approached, the bubbly, uninhibited singer spoke candidly about the not-so-pretty parts of pregnancy, dishing on her strange cravings (buttered Pop Tarts!) and embarrassing physical traits ("I just started calling myself Swamp Ass," Simpson told Jay Leno of sweating through her maternity Spanx.)

Among the most outrageous? During a March interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Simpson made even seasoned comedian Kimmel blush when she admitted, "I feel like I have a bowling ball sitting on my hoohah. Apparently I have a lot of amniotic fluid, so whenever my water breaks, it will be like a fire hydrant!"

And speaking to Ryan Seacrest in an appearance on his radio show last month, the fashion designer opened up about her third-trimester sex drive. "I am definitely 'feeling intimate,'" Simpson told the host. "I'm kind of unstoppable right now. The Big O is, like, the biggest O ever!"[usmagazine.com]

Why Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Are Closer Than Ever After Samuel's Birth
With two kids and a newborn, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have learned to find a tender moment whenever they can -- even if it means just holding hands during an errand run, as the two did March 30 in Santa Monica.


"You steal time," Garner has said about maintaining her relationship with her husband of nearly seven years. "You steal a date, you steal a kiss, you steal a whisper."

And the arrival of son Samuel, 5 weeks old, "has brought them closer," says a source of the couple, both 39, also parents to Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3. "Ben and Jen couldn't be happier."

Their joy was evident during a recent date night at Santa Monica's Giorgio Baldi restaurant. Says an onlooker, "They really enjoyed the one-on-one time."[usmagazine.com]

Jessica Alba Gives Birth to Daughter Haven Garner!


It's a girl! 


Jessica Alba gave birth to daughter Haven Garner Warren, the actress announced on Facebook Saturday.

"She was born on Saturday, weighed 7 lbs and was 19 inches long. Healthy and happy!" Alba wrote. "Big sister Honor couldn't be more excited about the new addition to our family."

"Thank you for all of your support during my pregnancy. It means the world to me."

This is the actress' second child with hubby Cash Warren. In July, the Spy Kids 4 actress told Us Weekly that Honor, 3, was "as excited as a kid can be [about becoming a big sister], even though she doesn't really know what it means just yet."

As of last month, Alba was still getting things ready for her family's newest addition. "The nursery isn't ready. It's not even close, but I'm accumulating things," she told Us. "In the beginning the baby stays with me in the room, so you don't need the nursery ready so soon. We're remodeling our house, so it's going to take a few months. I'm really taking my time."

The actress admits she wasn't very "chill" during the birth of her first child, so she took "hypnobirth classes" to prepare for the delivery of baby number two. "It's not like the clock in front of your face and you go out and you wake up and you got a baby," she joked on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in May. "Basically my husband takes me through sort of a meditation. He'll say, 'You're relaxed, and you're floating on clouds' while you're going through labor and your contractions. I'm just concentrating on breathing and staying relaxed because it's when you get tense that makes the whole labor worse and more painful. That's all it is. It's not like a weird thing."

So what's next for the new mom? She wants to lose the baby weight -- even if that means "starving [herself]!"

"I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered," she told Lucky's September issue. "But I also work out, so basically I'm starving. It sucks. I drink a lot of water."

Maya Rudolph Has Given Birth to First Son

Maya Rudolph has become a mother to a baby boy. Through her representative, the former cast member of "Saturday Night Live" has just announced the birth of her first son with director husband Paul Thomas Anderson.

38-year-old Rudolph gave birth to her third child with 41-year-old Anderson on July 3. The new arrival, the "Bridesmaids" star and her husband named Jack, joins older sisters 5-year-old Pearl and 20-month-old Lucille. He rep added that the newborn is at home and doing great.

In late April, Rudolph admitted that she and her husband chose not to find out about the sex of their baby. She explained to Access Hollywood, "The exciting part is not knowing who's coming. You have to wait nine months for a surprise, but then it's a good payoff because it really is a surprise."

During her appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" back in May, the actress playing Verona de Tessant in "Away We Go" joked, "I make big babies." She told host Ellen DeGeneres, "Pearl was 7 lbs, 5 oz, but she was three weeks early. That's a big baby! Lucy was 8 lbs, 8 oz, so this one's going to be 20 lbs." [aceshowbiz.com]
