Pregnancy
Canadian curler Kristie Moore is competing, gestating in Vancouver.
Things we expected to see at the Vancouver Olympics: Shaun White winning a gold medal with a massive halfpipe run, bobsledders careening down the track at insane speeds, hilariously insane figure skating costumes, Scott Hamilton losing all perspective. Things we did not expect to see: Pregnant ladies competing. Yes, Alberta's Kristie Moore, the alternate on the Canadian women's curling team, is expecting her first child in May, and brought her five-and-half-month bump into the rink this week.
Moore, who's 30, failed to qualify for the Olympics at Canada's curling trials last fall with her primary team, so … Read More

Five reasons men in their 20's may want children as much as women.
It's a common stereotype that guys in their 20's are just interested in sowing their wild oats: drinking cheap beer, hanging out with their bros and having massive amounts of random sex. Not so true. A recent study by the Guttmacher Institute revealed that 53 percent of men in the 18-29 range (as opposed to 52 percent of women) would like to have children if circumstances allowed. Among men 25 and older, the number jumps to two thirds.
Scary fact: The study showed that a surprising number of young men didn't know much about contraception and conception.
Interesting fact: … Read More
New name, new baby, and Victoria's Secret just keeps sending her fancy knickers.
Heidi Klum made a major move to unify her family a week or so ago when she changed her last name to Samuel, which is the surname of her husband of four years, musician Seal. And along with her adorable new baby daughter, Lou, and the end of this truly tragic season of Project Runway, Heidi is living the life, man.
The Samuel family now includes Heidi's daughter with disgraced Italian Formula One manager Flavio Briatore, Leni, as well as her children with Seal, sons Henry and Johan and daughter Lou. Seal has said he plans to adopt … Read More
Is Tom's baby lust damaging their marriage?
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are at odds over whether to add to their family, and the strain of disagreement is taking its toll on the marriage. Star's completely bananas cover story today reports that Tom is leaning on Katie to get pregnant again, since he's pushing 50 and is madly jealous of David and Victoria Beckham's and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's robust broods, and that the pressure is getting to Katie, who's feeling guilty that she's depriving three-year-old Suri of siblings.
"Katie feels Tom is more wound up about this than he's ever been … Read More
Because it's better to take your chances getting pregnant than to be fat!
Not to get all TMI on you—we're all friends here, though, aren't we?—but my husband and I are thinking about changing up our birth control to the ol' pull-out method. Actually, correction: I'm thinking about it and he's biding his time, not saying too much, hoping I come to my senses before my prescription for the Pill runs out. The Frisky: MERRIme, A Web Comedy About Online Dating
But the thing is, I'm beginning to hate the Pill. While I'm not experiencing the emotional side effects that I have in the past—thank God!—I am suffering from what I call … Read More
Kardashian wedding will finally be official this week.
Khloe Kardashian and her husband of three weeks (and acquaintance of nearly two months), Lakers forward Lamar Odom, have reached a prenuptial agreement and will sign their marriage license this week, according to sources. E! threw a lavish wedding for the couple Sept. 27, but they were not legally married at that time because the prenup wasn't worked out yet. We are, frankly, a little surprised that the relationship lasted long enough for lawyers to work out all the details, what with the lightning-quick courtship and, of course, the fact that the whole thing seemed like a … Read More
Publicist says it's a miracle, but avoids the topic of baby daddy.
Top Chef's host Padma Lakshmi has revealed that she's got a bun in the oven, but remains mum on the identity of the baby daddy.
According to her publicist who released the news to Us Weekly, the pregnancy is nothing short of a miracle. The 39-year-old TV host suffered for years from endometriosis—a condition in which one's uterus lining grows in other areas of the body, which can lead to infertility.
"As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore … Read More
Kate Hudson caught looking suspiciously "plump" while on house-hunt with A-Rod this week.
Kate Hudson and A-Rod were caught on film this week house-hunting, despite denials that they plan to co-habitate together.
But the bigger shocker is that sources spotted a "baby bump" during Hudson's outing. One witness claims Kate was looking "a teensy bit plump," and the fact that the pair were out looking for digs together certainly suggests the possibility of a family on the way.
However, Kate's rep Brad Cafarelli is denying the rumors, saying no way is Kate pregnant. Some sites suggest that teensy-bit of plumpness may be due to noshing a little too much ballpark fare, but … Read More
Heidi Montag may make six figs, but Spencer's not buying into the baby thing...read on.
Yesterday The Daily Beast published the salaries of reality stars, and the figures were astounding.
Seems like Spencer Pratt may be holding something against wife Heidi Montag (wait, they are married this week, right?). Heidi makes a whopping $100K to Spencer's $65K—that's per episode—ranking her among the top-paid reality stars ever on TV.
However, money can't buy everything. Rumor's out that Heidi, 23, wants a baby, and Spencer, 26, won't have it—won't have sex—with Heidi. He's told People that he's actually considering an operation. Read what he said:
"I'm not even kidding, my wife—OK, I'm gonna get crass here—but we're barely … Read More
