In any case the couple appear to be happy and moving forward so congrats to Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari as they prepare for a family that is getting bigger plus one.

The Help star Bryce Dallas Howard and husband Seth Gabel have officially announced the birth of their child, a baby girl named Beatrice Jean Howard-Gabel.

News of the birth was tweeted by Bryce’s father, movie director Ron Howard:

“Beatrice Jean Howard-Gabel Born Jan 19 2012 8lbs 6oz Bryce & Baby B are spectacular Daddy Seth & brother Theo are beaming ear to ear “

Back in August Bryce told Jay Leno that her 4½-year-old son had predicted a girl however she found out the sex of the baby in September and kept it a secret until her dad spilled the beans immediately after the baby’s birth.

You may recall that in 2007 Bryce Dallas Howard opened up about the postpartum depression she felt after giving birth to Theo in 2007.

Among her congratulatory tweets were M. Night Shyamalan and Jennifer Connelly. .

In his message to Bryce M. Night tweeted:

“Ron, tell Bryce congratulations from our whole family. I’ll be waiting to cast Beatrice in a few years! “

Mom and baby are said to be doing great with no complications.

If you’re unfamiliar with her work here’s Bryce talking about The Help:

Congratulations to the happy couple as they celebrate the birth of their second child.

Chris Hemsworth has confirmed that a mini-Thor could be on the way. The Snow White and the Huntsman and Thor actor and his wife Elsa Pataky are expecting their first child, with his rep confirming the news to People.

Although the couple has held back from finding out the gender of their child, they won’t have to wait long to find out – the new arrival is expected in the spring. Speaking to Hola! magazine, mom-to-be Pataky said:

“Chris and I are ecstatic, very happy and excited. Since it’s our first child we don’t care if it’s a boy or girl, our only wish is that it’s healthy.”

The 35-year-old Pataky also revealed that she expected Hemsworth, who is seven years her junior, to improve his Spanish. Otherwise, raising mini-Thor may prove … confusing for the actor:

“I’m only going to speak to the baby in Spanish. I already told my husband, ‘Get ready fast with Spanish because, if not, you’re not going to be able to understand what we say.”

Pataky admitted to Hola! that pregnancy cravings have wrecked her once healthy diet. She’s even finding new ways to be unhealthy, such as pigging out on foods she never previously tried – like popcorn (how anyone gets to 35 without trying popcorn was not addressed by the mag):

“Everything healthy I used to like, I now don’t like. All of a sudden, the only things that sound good to me are all the sweets in the world, hamburgers, and french fries.”

Congrats to the parents-to-be!

No matter how rich and fabulous Beyonce is- and even if you’re covered in spit up and without the assistance of several nannies, much less one, as you’re reading this- it’s difficult not to sympathize with the chart-topping singer in light of this kind of coverage.

Bey and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, took some time out for a pre-baby date over the weekend. The pair kept a somewhat low profile over the holiday, hanging out in Hova’s native Brooklyn at the restaurant Buttermilk Channel. Reportedly dining on oysters and fried chicken, however, poor pregnant Beyonce could not stay out of the glare of nosy onlookers who made some backhanded comments about the star’s appearance to the press. (If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know such remarks get tiresome somewhere around the sixth week, and it always sucks when someone starts telling you you look good for someone who is so fat, ad infinitum.)

Tell me you don’t want to smack whoever said this:

“She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman… She looked like she was about to give birth.”

The nosy spy continued:

“She was definitely a pregnant lady that night… They sat side by side and had a cozy and intimate dinner. They seemed to be having a lovely time.”

The outing countered rumors that appeared on British tabloid sites, stating that the mom-to-be and the rap guru had been spotted around Brooklyn and that baby Z had already arrived. As of yet, Beyonce has been mum about her due date.

Despite several circulating rumors that famous singer and occasional actress Beyoncé Knowles gave birth over the holidays, the singer alongside husband Jay-Z were spotted ushering in the New Year at a Brooklyn restaurant, the singer in question still very much pregnant.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé dined at restaurant du jour Buttermilk Channel, partaking in a feast that included fried chicken and oysters. Despite looking as though she was abut to pop at any moment, Beyoncé reportedly looked simply glamorous:

“She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman,” said the source, adding, “She looked like she was about to give birth.”

The celebrity couple later retired to Beyoncé’s sister Solange’s apartment to see 2011 out properly among family and friends. Beyoncé’s bun isn’t quite ready to come out of the oven just yet, and she celebrated what may be one of her last nights pre-motherhood  alongside her husband. The source continued:

“She was definitely a pregnant lady that night. They sat side by side and had a cozy and intimate dinner. They seemed to be having a lovely time.”

Confusing reports suggesting that Beyoncé had given birth over the holidays were stoked by Ryan Seacrest, host of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2012″. Seacrest introduced a pre-taped video of the singer, clarifying her absence by saying, “Obviously, Beyoncé couldn’t be here tonight because she’s about to give birth to her first child.”

Beyoncé’s baby is one of several celebrity births scheduled for 2012. Joining her are fellow pop singers Hilary Duff and Jessica Simpson.

Seems like Beyoncé is ready to pop at any time, and we’ll be here to report on it whether you like it or not!

What’s your guess as to the baby’s birth date?

Robert Downey Jr. told talk show host Jay Leno on Monday that his wife wouldn’t let him discuss specifics about their soon-t0-be born child, telling Leno “I can’t say a word” and joking that he’s “not permitted to discuss” the sex of the baby who is due in February. Apparently that secrecy wasn’t a long lasting promise.

Seconds after shrouding wife Susan’s pregnancy in mystery he then blurted out that they were having a baby boy and then the 46-year-old actorsaid “S–. I did it.”

Joking with the talk show host Downey then revealed that his pregnancy isn’t as hard on Susan as it has been on him:

“I think actually it’s been tougher on me,” he joked. “Just the hormones and the moods stuff and the nausea, and the whole thing.”

Robert Downey Jr. then said he plans to be a very involved father before putting on a prosthetic breastfeeding device and asking the audience “Who’s first? I need some practice.”

Robert has an 18-year-old son named Indio with ex-wife Deborah Falconer.

He has to be a great father, after all what boy wouldn’t want Iron Man to be his dad? Do you think Robert Downey Jr. will be a good parent?

Maggie Gyllenhaal, 34, and husband Peter Sarsgaard, 40, have announced that they are expecting their second child.

The couple wed in May 2009 after dating for seven years and well after their now five-year-old daughter Ramona was born.

According to the actress’ rep Gyllenhaal is nearly four months along but will continue to work hard through her winter pregnancy. Maggie currently has two movies preparing to reach theaters: Won’t Back Down debuts in March while her movie Hysteria will hit theaters in May.

The couple live in the upscale Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope.

Congratulation to the happy couple as they prepare for the birth of their second child and congrats to Jake Gyllenhaal who will now be an uncle two times over.

Okay, Duggars- when God said to go forth and multiply, he didn’t mean you specifically.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have announced that despite some relatively serious complications during their last pregnancy, the mom of 19 is now pregnant again- even though the two are now also grandparents. The Duggars have a massive clan, including Joshua, 23; twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11; James, 10; Justin, 8; Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; Jordyn, 3 and Josie, who will be two in December. Eldest son Joshua and wife Anna, also 23, are parents to Mackynzie, 2 and Michael, 4.

Josie, their youngest, was born at the terrifyingly early 25-week mark, weighing in at just 1 lb., 6 oz. The tiny tot pulled through after Michelle’s bout with pre-eclampsia, but the brush with disaster did not dissuade 45-year-old Michelle from getting pregnant again. The mom of almost twenty gushed:

“It is a miracle. Josie is the most energetic, busy little almost-2-year-old. She is short, and yet she can keep up with the big girls and she thinks she is just as big as they are. We are amazed at what she can do.”

Jim Bob Duggar says his wife is healthier than ever despite her stressful last pregnancy:

“Michelle is probably in better health now than she was 10 years ago. She has been getting on an elliptical for about an hour a day and is very careful of what she eats.”

And while the Duggars may be planning a risky 20th child at the ages of 45 and 46 respectively, they’re not stupid. Michelle has admitted the pair have planned a c-section for the child’s spring birth, saying:

“I’ve never had a planned C-section… So this one will be different.”

Do you think the Duggars are flirting with disaster by adding another child to their super-sized brood?

Jessica Simpson and former NFL player Eric Johnson announced their engagement in November 2010 and recently cancelled their wedding plans after Simpson became pregnant and now sources close to the couple say the wedding will still happen…eventually.

A source close to the couple told PEOPLE on Wednesday:

“They’re really excited,” while adding, “It wasn’t something they planned per se, but it’s also not something they were trying to avoid.”

When the insider was asked about the couple’s plans to wed they said:

“They’re both still really committed to getting married, and were both really into making decisions about what kind of wedding they wanted.”

With wedding plans originally scheduled for this month it’s now anyone’s guest as to when the couple will be married.

While Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy has been rumored for quite some time it wasn’t until this past Tuesday that she officially confirmed she was pregnant by tweeting:

“It’s true. I am going to be a mummy.”

In the meantime while her wedding may be on hold Jessica Simpson is hard at work with her fashion line and upcoming judge position for the new NBC reality show “Fashion Star” for which she stars beside another former reality TV star Nicole Ritchie.

Do you think the Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson wedding will still go forward in the future.

Jessica Simpson Will Likely Marry Eric Johnson After Birth is a post from: The Inquisitr

Jessica Simpson on Monday took to Twitter for confirmation of what we were already almost certain of, the 31-year-old singer and fashion designer is with child.

On her official Twitter account Simpson tweeted:

“It’s true. I am going to be a mummy.”

This will be the first child for Jessica Simpson and her fiance Eric Johnson.

According to the Associated Press Simpson will not cut back her schedule at this time and is still expected to appear alongside another former Reality TV star Nicole Richie on the upcoming NBC reality show “Fashion Star.”

Congratulations to Jessica and Eric, although we could have made that congratulations known a month ago when Jessica Simpson’s baby bump first started showing and she cancelled her wedding but did not break up with Eric Johnson, leading to speculation that the baby was coming first.

The announcement means a second grandchild for Joe and Tina Simpson, Jessica’s younger sister Ashlee Simpson gave birth to a baby boy, Bronx, in November 2008 with ex-husband Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy).

Are you surprised by Simpson’s Twitter announcement?

Actor James Van Der Beek and his wife, Kimberly Brook, have announced that they are pregnant for the second time.

The 34-year-old tweeted the following message to announce the good news:

“Just when we thought we couldn’t feel any more blessed, it seems the universe has plans to give our daughter a sibling … #humbled.” Van Der Beek added “Also a new father, busily prepping the next act.”

Brooke and Van Der Beek had a baby daughter, Olivia, in September 2010.

In other news the Dawson’s Creek alum is getting ready to play a fictional version of himself in the upcoming ABC comedy series Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23. 

I have a feeling this is how James Van Deer Beek acted when he heard the good news about a second child:

Will you be tuning in to catch a glimpse of the new Van Deer Beek comedy when it debuts?

Singer Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay-Z are preparing for parenthood like many parents, purchasing a van to haul around their soon to be born child.

Where the couple differs from most parents comes from the type of van they purchased, a $1 million customized Mercedes that features a $150,000 audio system, a full bathroom with a shower and wiring for DirectTV and WiFi access.

The van is apparently so big that Beyonce was helped out of the vehicle by two assistance when arriving at a meeting in New York City.

It shouldn’t surprise Beyonce fans that she would spare no expense for the arrival of her little tot, she has already converted 2,200 square feet of her TriBeCa apartment into a nursery, leaving one insider to muse:

“Some people are like, ‘Won’t you be scared to leave your baby in that huge room?’”

I’m pretty sure with a full bathroom and a shower with DirecTV Chris Farley would have been more than happy to live in this van down by the river.

Do you think the expecting couple have went a little bit overboard in planning for the arrival of their first child?

Hollywood couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are expecting their third child, the couple has confirmed.

Affleck and Garner, both 39, have said they are “thrilled” about the pregnancy. The couple are parents to two girls- Violet, 5, and Seraphina Rose, 2. New baby buzz began surrounding the couple back in May, when Garner was spotted both in baggier clothing than she typically favors as well as a form-fitting black sheath dress that revealed the telltale curve of pregnancy. At the time, however, Garner’s rep denied the rumors had any merit, adding that “speculation is false, [Garner] is not pregnant.”

Britain’s Daily Mail reported:

Rumours of a possibly pregnancy first sparked when Jennifer was seen leaving a book store with Violet in late May with a noticeably fuller figure. The usually svelte star wore jeans with another baby blue sweater and held her delightful daughter’s hand as she skipped along.

She was also seen later in the month going to a business meeting in a fitted black dress that showed a more rounded stomach, which continued to set the rumour mill alight.

It could be a good time for the couple- who celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in June- to add to their family. Garner recently starred alongside Russell Brand in Arthur, and recently wrapped filming on Butter, also starring Olivia Wilde, Hugh Jackman, Ashley Greene and Alicia Silverstone. (Silverstone also just welcomed a baby, a boy named Bear Blu.)

Garner also just completed The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and appears in Backwoods and Better Living Through Chemistry, due out next year. No word on when the new Garner-Affleck collaboration will arrive.

For some odd reason women keep having unprotected sex with Kevin Federline and he keeps getting them pregnant. Britney Spears’ ex-husband and girlfriend Victoria Prince welcomed a baby girl into the world on Monday at 6:33 p.m.

Federline, 33 and Prince, 28, named their new bundle of joy Jordan Kay and told Us Magazine:

“Everything was perfect and everyone is doing well.”

The baby’s name according to Federline was chosen because they weren’t sure if they were having a boy or girl and the name Jordan works for either sex.

Federline has two children with Spears (Sean Preston, 5 and Jayden, 4) and two more with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson (Kori, 9 and Kaleb, 7).

When asked if the couple planned to wed Federline told US Mag: “I do want to get married…but I will wait until I have the courage to propose.

Federline and Prince have been dating since 2008.

I’m not a big fan of Kevin Federline but I’m a sucker for little bundles of joy with my first set to arrive in January so I’ll offer my congratulation to the happy couple.

In a one year anniversary post Duff, 23, wrote that time has flown by with her Pittsburgh Penguins hockey playing husband.

She wrote:

The news comes just after Duff recently told Access Hollywood that she felt too young to have children at this time, revealing:

“We talk about it. Yes, we’re excited to do that, but I think I want to work a little more. I’m tossing around the idea of making another record… We want it, and we’re excited for it but think it can wait a while longer… He is supportive of me. We both are excited to do that, but he knows I’m still young.”

Duff and Comrie wed on August 14, 2010. Hillary Duff for those unfamiliar with her work was the star of Disney Channel’s hit series Lizzie McGuire.  Duff later when on to guest star in several series including Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order: SVU and most recently Gossip Girl where she played Olivia Burke in six episodes of the show, she also has several movie credits to her name and continues to record and perform music under the Disney Records moniker.

Congratulations to the happy couple, sometimes the best surprises are the ones we didn’t expect until they happen.

Fantasia hasn’t had the most clean-cut post-idol experience. After a rocky run on Broadway following her AI success, the singer briefly hit the spotlight again… because her home down south went into foreclosure. Then Barrino was in the news again, this time for allegedly stealing someone’s husband and making a sex tape. It seemed, for a bit, that the drama llama may have followed Fantasia home.

Barrino stopped short of announcing that the father of her child is the still married Antwaun Cook- the boyfriend she was spotted vacationing with in Barbados back in June- when she made the following statement Sunday:

“You are the first person that I share this news with, and I share this with you because I can relate to you… And for a while I walked around figuring out ‘What will they say and what will they think about me?’ But now I tell you I don’t live my life for folk.”

…which is true- but an interesting statement in light of the fact she’d been spotted with Cook on vacation just a few weeks back, and his divorce is not yet final. Hmmm… do you think Fantasia’s babydaddy is Cook? Have you judged her for her possible role in the demise of his marriage?
