Friends and Family: Jamie Lynn Will Be a ‘Great Mom’
Jamie Lynn Spears’s hometown of Kentwood, La., was buzzing with the news she gave birth, with friends and relatives expressing surprise, relief and confidence the 17-year-old will be a good mother.
“She’s awfully young to be a momma,” says distant cousin Margie Busby. “But that’s what they make [grandmothers] for. They have to help. That’s the way it is with our circle of friends.”
Second cousin Janet Bridges acknowledges, “I didn’t even know she had the baby,” but gives a thumbs up to the baby girl’s name. “Ooh, I like ‘Maddie,’” says Bridges.
The birth was the talk of Kentwood. “I’m really happy for her and her family,” says Jennifer Pike, who works at the corner store where the Spears family often shops.

Orion Christopher Noth was born Friday and weighed 7 lbs., 10 oz. “I am happy to confirm that Chris Noth and Tara Wilson are the proud parents of a happy and healthy baby boy,” his rep tells Us. “Chris and Tara are thrilled and all are doing well.” The couple (who co-own the café Once Upon a Tea Cup in Windsor, Ontario) announced the news in November.
Matthew McConaughey to be a dad
Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves are expecting a child, the actor announced Tuesday on his website. “My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together,” McConaughey writes. “It’s 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far. We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life.” McConaughey adds: “Wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution. Thanks for being fans of me and my work and now this new and miraculous chapter in my life, as me and Camila and our child do our best to just keep living.” He signs his message, “Wow, McConaughey.” McConaughey, 38, met Alves, 24, a Brazilian model whose family moved to L.A. when she was young, more than a year ago. Since then, they have been together constantly – and often in the ocean – riding the waves last year from Australia, where he filmed Fool’s Gold, to the Bahamas, where he shot the comedy Surfer Dude. “He is euphoric. He couldn’t be happier,” says his rep Alan Nierob. Longtime McConaughey pal Mark Gustawes, who is producing Surfer Dude, says the couple are “incredibly happy.” “I can only hope that one day the love I have with the woman carrying my child is equivalent to the love Matthew and Camila share,” says Gustawes. “That’s a tall bar. In my opinion, the child will be raised with more love than it knows what to do with.”

Jessica opens up about pregnancy
With fiancé Cash Warren by her side, Jessica Alba can’t help gushing about her impending baby joy. “It’s awesome,” she said Thursday in L.A. at Glamour magazine’s kickoff for V-Day’s 10th Anniversary. “It’s the best time ever. I have two movies coming out, a baby, a fiancé – everything.” The 26-year-old actress, who’s due in early spring or late summer, said the pregnancy has been smooth so far. But, she admitted, “I’m more tired, more hungry than normal.” Alba – who also recently announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Warren, 28, the baby’s father – also said she’s enjoying a rare break from acting. “I don’t know if anyone wants me in their movies [when I'm] six months pregnant,” she joked. “I’ll get the fire and I’ll want to work again, but right now it’s a time to relax and sit back.” For now, the actress is focused on a more personal project: “I bought a new house a couple weeks ago. I’m in nesting phase.” Later, Alba joked about her growing baby bump as she performed “My Short Skirt,” a scene from Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues. “I hope [my dress] won’t pop while I’m up here,” she said. “And if it does, you’re all women, and I think you’ll understand it. [When you're pregnant], your breasts are engorged and your stomach is getting bigger. . . . And the ass, too, that’s getting bigger by the second!”
