Postpartum depression shouldn't be taken lightly. Here's how to head it off at the pass.
Kendra Wilkinson, the star of reality show Kendra, recently revealed her struggles with postpartum depression, a topic she plans on covering during Season 2 of the show (premiering Sunday, March 14). "After giving birth," she told OK! magazine, "I never brushed my hair, my teeth, or took a shower. I looked in the mirror one day and was really depressed…A couple of times, I even said, 'I just have nothing to live for.'"
The baby blues: It's a condition that has been gaining greater visibility over the years and, hopefully, its inclusion on shows like Kendra will convince even … 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
Cruz spotted with giant ring, meeting with wedding dress designers.
Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz have kept their relationship pretty much hush-hush since they started dating while filming Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona last year, but now sources say they may be planning to tie the knot this holiday season.

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
When you hit thirty, your biological clock begins ticking, and loudly.
Ask almost any childless women in her 30s to name five things that have been on her mind lately, and there's a good chance she'll mention her biological clock. It may not be the first thing she names—her career, the economy, saving for a house, her parents' health, the health of her relationship, finishing her dissertation, fitting back into her skinny jeans, and finding someone to share her life with may be getting more of her attention; but for a vast majority of us, the idea of having kids is something we think about nearly as much, if not more, … Read More
The Grey's Anatomy actor is ready to join his co-stars in the fine art of parenting.
New mom Katherine Heigl has inspired her close pal and former Grey's Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight, shown here with boyfriend Mark Cornelsen, to start a family of his own.

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
Singer and hubby have picked names, working on a baby.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have made no secret of their intentions to start a family since marrying last year, and now, a source tells Bossip, they're hoping to announce a pregnancy any day. "Mariah is well aware of her figure and at the present time, can't do anything about it," the catty source says, which we suppose is code for "She must be pregnant! She's vaguely three-dimensional!"
Mariah and Nick have already picked out names for their work in progress; yesterday she told Sirius Satellite Radio's Morning Mash Up, "We have to keep the name … Read More
We assume this will be the third-funniest baby on the planet.
Will Ferrell and his wife of nine years, Viveca Paulin, are adding a third child to their family in January, the actor's reps tell People. Will and Viveca, who works as an art auctioneer but made appearances in a few of her husband's films, already have two boys, five-year-old Magnus and two-year-old Matthias.
Viveca, like fellow comedy wives Nancy Walls (married to The Office's Steve Carell) and Evelyn McGee (married to Stephen Colbert), keeps a pretty low profile, living outside of L.A. and raising her kids. (She's so good at staying off the paparazzi radar that many news outlets … Read More
