Nicole Richie Gets A Parenting Award

Only four and a half months into motherhood and Nicole Richie is already getting awards for it!  Babytalk magazine is presenting her with their "prestigious" Golden Pacifier Award. 

Why is Harlow's mommy worthy of such an honor?  Babytalk's editor-in-chief, Lisa Moran, explains:

“Honoring Nicole Richie with a Babytalk Golden Pacifier Award might come as a surprise to some, but we felt that she deserved some recognition for her turnaround since becoming a mom.

“She’s grown up a lot since the arrival of little Harlow, and her creation of the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation has demonstrated her efforts to set a good example by shining a spotlight on important issues affecting today’s families."

Hmmm.  Well, I'll give her this: she does seem to be the most stable of the celebutantes.  I mean, Paris is skanky and Lindsay's just a mess, so in comparison?  Nicole does seem almost Mother Theresa-like.  Sort of.  I guess.  It's Friday--give me a break, people.

Angelina And Brad Argue Over Baby Names

Angelina and Brad aren't breaking up--for the thirty-fifth time if you believe the tabloids--but they are fighting.  About what, you might ask?  Well, about what to name their unborn twins.  Supposedly Angie wants to name them...Castor and Pollux, which is the name of the twins in her Gemini birth sign.  Brad is against it because he thinks Pollux sounds too much like "bollocks," which is UK-slang for nonsense, but which literally translates to, well, the family jewels.

OK, so THAT'S why he's against it?  Not because they're stupid names?  I mean, Castor?  As in oil?  That's not bad?  I really don't believe this story.  And are these supposed to be girls' names or boys'?  I'm so confused.  Besides, then they'd have Maddox, Pax, and Pollux.  That sounds like an accounting firm.

I'm filing this under R for random stories that the press is pulling out of their buttocks (hey, that could be baby number seven's name!) because they just love the Brangelina gossip--even if they have to make it up.

Angelina Jolie: The Belle Of The Cannes Ball

Angelina Jolie Confirms: It's Twins!

After months of speculation, Angelina Jolie officially confirmed today that she is, indeed, having not just one, but two more of Brad Pitt's babies.  It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

In an interview in Cannes that will air tonight on "Access Hollywood," Angie broke the news while promoting "Kung Fu Panda" with Jack Black.  Well, actually Jack sort of opened his mouth first--which totally sounds like something he would do.  He joked that:

“You’re gonna have as many as (the) ‘Brady Bunch’ when you have these."

The interviewer must've practically peed herself at the notion of getting a scoop and asked if it was really two.  Angie responded:

“Yeah, yeah, we’ve confirmed that already.  Well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.”

Just to be sure the interviewer asked Angelina again and she nodded yes.

I love it!  They're well on their way to their own football team.  She also said they know the sexes but want to keep that to themselves. 

Countdown to Jennifer Aniston dry-humping John Mayer in front of a wall of paps starts now.

Gwen Stefani: How Much Longer?

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale took Kingston to the zoo this past weekend.  Giving The King a little more one-on-one time until he's officially the big brother.  There's something about that kid that amuses me so.  Maybe it's that combo petulant/mischevous look he always has on his face.  For my money, the cutest celebutot from the class of 2006.  Suri may be a super-being and Shiloh may be the pretty, pretty princess, but this kid has the makings of a superstar. 

As to Gwen, baby #2 looks like he or she is percolating along nicely.  They haven't said when she's due--much like her friend, Angelina--but if I had to guess I'd say end of June/being of July.  I hope this one's a girl.  I wanna see an infant rocking Gwen's trademark red lips.

Katie Holmes Wants Another Baby

Wow, Tom Cruise is really in defensive mode.  How do I know that?  Well, besides the ubiquitious appearances on Oprah and him dragging his Stepford Wife all over NYC to prove his love, comes a story that Katie has now decided she's ready to bless the world with another Cruise baby.  Ewww, she must need the pay bump.  Er, I mean, awwww...how sweet.

Supposedly, close friends (read: Tom disguising his voice) told E! that it's baby-making time for Katie.

"She said she's got the itch.Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister."

Of course she would!  Because Super Suri is a wonder child!  She loves everything.  When contacted, Suri had no comment but "sources" say she's thrilled as she's tired of handling all Daddy's p.r. needs on her own.

As for Maverick?  Well, he's all for it, naturally.  Because that man likes nothing better than having sex-ay time with his lady.

"He said if Katie wants to make another baby, she doesn't have to ask twice.  He always wanted more. It was Katie who has been holding off. Until now."

Funny, you know what I just realized?  It's May.  Do you know what happens nine months from now?  Tom's doomed "Valkyrie"--or as I like to call it, "My God, People, I'm Trying To Kill Hitler Here--Will You Cut Me Some Slack"--is set to be released.  What better way to get the uber attention Tommy so desires than to time another miraculous birth to coincide with a movie opening.  And, besides, it's not like Katie has anything else going on to take up her time.

A Baby Girl For "The Office"'s Angela Kinsey

Angela Kinsey, who plays Angela on "The Office," is mom to a baby girl born on Saturday, People reports.  Isabel Ruby Lieberstein weighed in at a petite 6 lbs., 14 oz.--which is actually more than little old me weighed at birth, thus disproving that all small babies become small adults.  But given Angela's a teeny little thing maybe Isabel with get lucky.  I mean, no judgments--I'm not putting her on Atkins yet or anything.  Just an observation.

At the hospital with Angela when little Izzy was born were her husband, TV writer Warren Lieberstein, her mother, and castmate and friend, Jenna Fischer.  Who's a really annoying character but a really good friend, I'm sure.

Now get back to work, Angela!  I want you and Dwight back together next season.

Father of Madonna's Adoptee Says He's Been Cut Off From His Son, David Banda

Pop singer Madonna has reportedly been cutting off contact between David Banda, the Malawian boy she adopted, and his biological father.

The Times Online reported that David's father, Yohane Banda, says that Madonna has severed all contact between him and his son, causing him to regret ever placing his son up for adoption:

"I feel robbed. I should be able to see my son and say hello. I don't know how he is growing, what person he is turning into. This pains me because it looks like he is not my son any more."

Banda said Madonna initially agreed to allow him to maintain regular contact with his son after she informally adopted him in 2006:

"I told her that although I was giving her my son she should look after him well. I told her that she should raise him, educate him and make sure that he does not forget me and Malawi."

The Times said the adoption is expected to be approved formally next month in the Malawian capital of Lilongwe.

Gwyneth Paltrow Says She Suffered From Post-Partum Depression

Gwyneth Paltrow told Vogue magazine she suffered from post-partum depression after giving birth to her now 2-year-old son, Moses.

"I didn't know I had it until after it was over. I just didn't know what was wrong with me."

Us Mag says Paltrow told Vogue she suspects her depression stemmed from skipping her "usual habits," like acupuncture, before she gave birth to her second child.

"I felt really out of my body, I felt really disconnected. I felt really down...I felt pessimistic."

Paltrow, who won an Oscar for her work in "Shakespeare in Love," will be seen next month in the big-screen action-adventure flick, "Iron Man," alongside Robert Downey, Jr.

Figuring Out When Nicole Kidman Is Due

Because I'm like a dog with a bone, further evidence that this rumor that Nicole Kidman isn't really pregnant, rather has a surrogate, is total bunk.  Check out this side-angle photo of Nicole arriving at the CMT Awards the other night.  Yeah, great fake belly--right down to padding her butt, too, I see. 

It would be nice if pictures like this would put an end to the couple of instigators wafting around cyberspace, but I doubt it.  It seems like there's a small faction that won't be satisfied unless they are in the delivery room when Nicole gives birth.  For some reason, Nicole inspires this hatred.  Is it because she won't cop to shooting her face full of Botox?  Because, really, if that's the criteria it's pretty weak.  Maybe it's because she was married to crazy Tom Cruise for 10 years.  That's understandable--but she's out now (which is more than I can say for Tom...).  Give the Aussie a break.

Now, as to when Nicole is due, she gave a clue when Maureen "Marcia Brady" McCormick interviewed her for "Access Hollywood" before the show.  Besides saying she had awful morning sickness, she mentioned she was "waiting for the third trimester to start."  Based on when she announced--early January--and that clue, the little Urban looks to be due in almost exactly 3 months, around July 20th. 

So that's my guess.  Let's see how close I get!
