Jessica Simpsons big bump & even bigger heels!

baby bump, pregnant, heels

Okay so all the other news and baby sites are running headlines about american singer Jessica Simpson being spotted out and about looking glowing and revealing that she is having girl. Yes she looks great but HELLO has no-one else noticed the massive heels she is wearing!!

I can barely walk in heels on a normal day, so I have no idea how celebrities can walk around so effortlessly in killer heels whilst pregnant, carrying all that extra weight! Ahhhhhhh!

This is what the experts say about wearing high heels whilst pregnant

‘The ligaments that control your lower back are softened during pregnancy, so they are more at risk of being stretched and damaged. The problem with high heels is that they alter your posture and put a strain on this already weakened area. This could contribute to lower back pain, which can be severe.’

But…..I would like to point out that maybe Jessica changed into flats as soon as she got in the car. I’m sure wearing heels now and again whilst pregnant is fine, personally, I just couldn’t do it as I was always scared of falling over!

Former X Factor finalist, Stacey Solomon has been axed from ‘Celebrity Mum of the Year’ competition after being spotted smoking while pregnant. Stacey is currently 7 months pregnant with her second child, which is due in May with her partner Aaron Burnham. The Queen of the jungle was caught having 4 cigarettes in the space of just 2 hours!

“I know it doesn’t look good but I only have a few cigs a day,” she told The People

“I don’t think I’ve let down my fans, but I do get a little stressed at times and a ciggie helps me calm down.”

“I desperately want to stop smoking and I don’t want to set a bad example. It’s a tough habit to break but I’m going to give it my best shot.”

Singer Sophie Ellis Bextor looked gorgeous at the Elle Style Awards 2012 last night. A few weeks ago the 32 year old labelled all maternity wear as being ‘rubbish’ but she managed to find one polka dot dress that showed off her baby bump perfectly. Sophie attended the awards at the Savoy Hotel with her husband Richard Jones. The couple announced on twitter in October that they will be expecting their third child together

‘I am having another baby. Due in Spring. A little brother or sister for Sonny and Kit. Family e-b-jones are happy and excited. It’s a lovely thing’

Both previous pregnancies for Sophie were difficult as Sonny, now 7,  was born eight weeks premature by emergency cesarean section after she developed pre-eclampsia. Kit their youngest son who is now aged 2, was also premature, weighing just 2 lb 10oz when he arrived nine weeks early.

We hope Sophie has a happy and safe birth – she is due in April

Simon Cowell comes to the rescue of a Dad-to-be by lending him his private jet!

John Hagenstede

Everyone’s favourite talent show judge, Simon Cowell, came to the rescue when he invited a member of the Britain’s Got Talent crew to fly on his private jet with the BGT judges after finding out the soundman’s wife had unexpectedly gone into labour.

Sound recordist John Hagenstede was in Edinburgh with Simon and the rest of the talent show’s team for the latest round of auditions.  On Saturday evening John received a call from his expectant girlfriend Lisa Stewart saying she had gone into labour back in Surrey – nearly 400 miles away from where John was.

John explained ’We looked up every possible option of getting me home and I was devastated when I realised the only option was waiting and getting a flight in the morning. I knew I would miss the birth of my first child.

‘Simon Cowell came over and shook my hand. He said “congratulations” and “come on, let’s do this”.

John shared the private jet with Simon and other Britain’s Got Talent judges; Alesha Dixon and David Walliams

To top it off, Mr Cowell, also arranged for a Chauffeur driven car to take him straight to the hospital after the private jet landed in Luton. John got to the hospital with moments to spare and his first child, Jude Berkeley Hagenstede, was born at 1.12am yesterday weighing 7lbs 8oz.

Congratulations!

First pictures of Blue Ivy Carter!

Proud parents Beyonce and Jay Z have released the first pictures of their baby daughter – Blue Ivy Carter.

Although this may be the first glimpse we’ve gotten of Blue, the infant has already broken records after her cries were featured on her father’s song “Glory.” Jay-Z released the track two days after her birth, making her the youngest person ever to appear on the Billboard chart.

For a superstar celebrity couple its very surprising that they opted not to sell photos of their first born to a glossy magazine . Instead the couple released five images of the 1 month old on a special site –  http://helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com/

Beyonce looking beautiful

Beyonce Knowles, Jay Z, celeb parents,

New Mum Beyonce Knowles looks amazing after just 4 weeks after giving birth!

The multi-award winning singer was out and about for the second night in a row to support her husband at a concert in New York.

Now, 4 weeks after giving birth I no-way looked like this!! We have to remember that celebrities as successful as Beyonce have a team of make-up artists and stylists helping them to look as good as they possibly can!!

Gwyneth Paltrow: Women who have children should stay at home

actress, celeb mum, chris martin

 

Multi-Millionaire actress Gwyneth Paltrow has made some Mums this morning a little annoyed (yes I am talking about myself!) with some recent comments.

Miss Paltrow, who won an Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love, said she cooks for her husband, Coldplay star Chris Martin, and bathes their children, Apple, 7, and Moses, 5. She rises at 7am and works on her website and cookery books while her children are at school, before preparing dinner for her husband when he returns from work to their £6 million home in London.

Gwyneth, 39, told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “I have little kids in school. I want to maintain my marriage and my family, so I have to be here when he (Martin) comes home.”

The super glamorous actress is telling women who want a family to stay at home. Ummm ok I wish it was this simple Gwyneth, but its not! I would love to live in a 6 million pound mansion in a fantastic part of London, with a husband and not having to work, but this is not the reality of nearly every Mum in the world! I understand Miss Paltrow has worked hard to get where she has and can therefore now afford to stay at home, but as a single Mum with no steady income coming in every month I find her comments a little ridiculous.

Miss Perfect Paltrow we love you but before you open your mouth next time, please think about the 99% of other Mums who does not live a hollywood style life.

Presenter Holly Willoughby 'Yes I have a nanny!'

celeb mum, this morning presenter

 

Finally a celebrity admits they have a nanny! The ‘This morning’ presenter said ‘Yes I have a nanny, I can’t leave a 9 month old by herself!’

Holly Willougby has always been my favourite presenter and I always wondered how on earth she manages two children, a clothing line and a full-time job hosting one of the most popular daytime shows in the UK. The yummy mummy admitted on ‘This Morning’ today that she has a nanny, the comments came after the news of Gwyneth Paltrow saying that Mums should stay at home.

Now Gwyneth is always feeding us comments on how to be the ‘ideal’ mother and wife but is she forgetting to tell us that she has help to be a supermum! (Now, maybe she has no help. If this is true I will go back to my room and cry myself to sleep thinking how I can also be a supermum like her! Read Gwyneth’s full story here)

After Holly revealing she does have help in her life from a nanny and her husband I feel so much better! Because celebrities rarely talk about hiring nannies or having childcare we are under the illusion that we should be juggling everything as perfectly as them. So, now I’m going to give myself a break once in a while. Right I’m off to eat a chocolate muffin.
