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!”

Nicole due this week
The countdown-to-baby has begun for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Their first child is due “sometime in the next week,” Madden’s older brother Josh told reporters at the FUZE/Resolution Slenderize bash in Hollywood Wednesday night. Just don’t expect the eldest Madden to dish any secrets on the impending arrival. “That’s all we know,” he said. “We don’t know what [gender] it is. We don’t know any names. I’m being completely honest, I swear!” Josh – whose next gig is DJ-ing at a Sundance Film Festival party with younger brother Benji – said he’s recently logged some quality time with both brothers and, of course, Richie. “Christmas was awesome,” said Josh, whose younger sister Sarah also recently gave birth. “Nicole couldn’t fly, but we were all there. My sister’s baby was born on he 20th, so it was right before.” And yes, the proud uncle has already picked out his baby present. “I got them some clothes, that’s what I’m into,” Josh said. “We’re very excited.”
Is Pam pregs?
Canadian bombshell Pamela Anderson is reportedly pregnant with her third child. If so, it will be the first child for her and current husband Rick Salomon, whom she married in October. However, she quickly changed her mind last month and filed divorce papers, just to call it off days later. Now, sources say the 39-year-old actress plans on going through with the divorce. The couple was married in Las Vegas on October 6. Anderson suffered a miscarriage while pregnant with Kid Rock’s child in November of 2006. Anderson posted one word on her online journal early this morning: “No.”
JLo opens up about pregnancy
Two months after announcing her pregnancy at a Miami concert November 7, Jennifer Lopez — who is seven months along with twins — opens up to Harper’s Bazaar in her first interview since sharing the happy news. “I do realize people want to know [about the pregnancy] because they’re interested, but this is the first time I’m going through this,” Lopez, 38, says of staying mum for so long. “I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway.” So why the secrecy? The singer says husband Marc Anthony, 39, was a factor. “He made me realize you can be an artist, and have credibility and success, without your life being on public display,” she says. “This is my experience and my husband’s experience, and we get to hold that for a little while.” As for how her little ones will handle the media scrutiny, the star insists her kids “will be whatever we are. . . . Private when it comes to that stuff.” Post birth, Lopez is still unsure of whether she’ll be a working mom. “I don’t know — and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years,” she reveals. “Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down.” For now, the singer is following that instinct. “Jennifer’s taking it easy,” a pal says. “She’s just thrilled to have the babies coming.”
Nicole and Keith confirm baby news
Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are expecting their first child, her rep confirms. “The couple are thrilled,” Catherine Olim says in a statement. For Kidman, this will be her third child. She and her former husband, Tom Cruise adopted two children during their marriage: Isabella, now 15, and Connor, 12. As for where Kidman and Urban, who will be a first-time parent, may bring up their impending arrival, the couple, though both from Australia, purchased a farm near Leipers Fork, Tenn., a half-hour southwest of Nashville, in 2007. The couple, who have been married 18 months, wed, after a yearlong courtship, on June 25, 2006, in a candlelit ceremony at Sydney, Australia’s Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick’s Estate at Manly. Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch. Before the couple even started dating, Kidman made her desire for more children clear. In April 2005, she told reporters that her biological clock was ticking. “I have got hormones running through my system,” she said. “That is why I sit wriggling, saying I want to have a baby.”
Nicole drops out of film; baby rumors continue
Nicole Kidman‘s rep has spent the last week tirelessly shooting down reports that the flame-haired actress is pregnant as “unreliable gossip” – but we’re not buying it for one second, and here’s why: Page Six has heard from extremely well-placed sources that the Oscar-winning Aussie – who’s suffered miscarriages in the past – not only has a bun in the oven but is so concerned about the welfare of her unborn child that she’s taking a break from her film career and has dropped out of director Stephen Daldry’s post-World War II Germany drama “The Reader,” which she was supposed to start shooting this month. The movie is based on Bernhard Schlink’s prize-wining book about a man who carries a longtime sexual obsession for an older woman who’s later prosecuted for war crimes after it emerges she was a member of the SS and a guard at Auschwitz. But the Weinstein Company, which is producing, will now have to get another leading lady to join Ralph Fiennes and Bruno Ganz and a largely German cast, sources said. Weinstein flack Matthew Frankel said: “I am being told that the status on ‘The Reader’ has not changed.” He declined to be more specific. On Friday, a reporter for Daily Telegraph in Sydney, Australia, asked Kidman point blank whether she was in the family way. She “refused to answer,” the paper said. But our insider said: “Of course, everyone knows she’s pregnant and lying about it.” Another source says a Vanity Fair editor was recently overheard talking about pushing up Kidman’s photo shoot for the magazine’s annual Hollywood issue. “It’s because the costumes she’s set to wear won’t fit her much longer,” the spy said.
Gabrielle Reece welcomes second child
Volleyball star Gabrielle Reece and her husband, surfer Laird Hamilton, welcomed son Brody Jo Hamilton on New Year’s Day in Hawaii, their rep confirms. Brody, who was 8 lb., 2 oz., joins the couple’s first child, 4-year-old sister Reece Viola. Hamilton, 43, who also has a 12-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, has said Reece Viola faces some adjustments. “She is the center of the universe right now, and when the next one comes along it’s gonna rock her little boat a little bit,” he said in August. “But it’ll be great. … It will be great for her.” Reece, 37, stayed in top shape during her second pregnancy by playing competitive beach volleyball last summer and swimming.
