US cyclist Lance Armstrong has welcomed a fourth child, it was reported.
Armstrong reportedly used his Twitter account to break the news of the birth of a son, named Max, with girlfriend Anna Hansen.
Armstrong reportedly wrote: "Wassup, world? My name is Max Armstrong and I just arrived. My mommy is healthy and so am I!"
He waited about 15 minutes before tweeting again to thank doctors and nurses, and saying the baby weighed in at 7lb, 5 ounces, and was 20 inches in length.
Armstrong, who has been mounting a comeback from retirement in recent months and is a survivor of testicular cancer, has three children with his former wife, Kristin.
He dated singer Sheryl Crowe before the couple reportedly split because Crowe wanted children. He is seven times winner of the annual French Pyrenees bicycle race, the Tour de France. He is reportedly intending to compete this year when the tour starts on July 4.
Nicole Richie was spotted waiting for an elevator. She’s looking so stylishly dressed for a pregnant mom to be. I haven’t seen any waif thin pregnant women in my neighbourhood wearing stilettos and clingy dresses like this outfit. She looks like she’s ready to walk the red carpet.
Joel Madden her boyfriend and father of her children tweeted last Friday:
“So Last night I ended up playing poker till 3 a.m. Thank God for my awesome girlfriend who let me sleep in today.”
M.I.A. has been booked for the second night of Coachella and will take the stage on April 18th. She’ll be replacing Amy Winehouse who will not be performing as she’s been denied a work visa due to all her legal troubles.
M.I.A. had her baby just last month, guess she’s not going to to be taking an extended maternity leave. I have to hand it to her, she worked right up to her delivery when she performed at the Grammys on her due date!
TMZ has M.I.A’s new baby’s birth certificate and, the baby’s name is not Ickitt, it’s Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman. There had been a rumour floating around on the internet that she was calling her child Ickitt and she took to her blog to dispute that matter and now we know the rumour was just that a rumour. Ikhyd is unusual, just like her.
Jennifer Lopez is pictured here walking into the Bowery Hotel in downtown NYC yesterday to have dinner with her manager Benny Medina. Seems she has done what she said she would and that was to take a year off with the babies and then get back to work. Many other celebs have stated they’ll take time off, but end up going back to work after just a couple of months.
She recently spoke to In Touch Magazine. When asked about Britney’s breakdown, Jennifer said:
“That was painful to watch.”
She went on to say:
“I understood the pressure she was going through, having been through a divorce, having money, having people depend on you. It will destroy you.”
Jennifer also revealed how she and her hubby Marc Anthony handle disagreements that come up during their marriage:
“If one of us has a complaint, the other one has to listen, no matter how difficult. We have to see if we care enough to change it and if we do care, then we have to change it.”
Yes it is true that the public pressure that celebs go through because of their fame can be difficult, but they have the wealth to help them cope. It needs to be said that non-celebrity people who don’t have the financial resources that stardom gives also face real pressure and difficulty. Many of them go through health problems, divorces, financial crisis and survive, they are not destroyed.
Kingston and Zuma Rossdale are so adorable in their knit beanies while they were at the playground having fun with mom Gwen Stefani at Coldwater park in Beverly Hills, Calif. yesterday afternoon.
Gwen and Kingston both wore black Uggs, and Gwen is wearing her own black Harakuku Lovers jackets and DSquared jeans.
Christina Aguilera and her hubby Jordan Bratman went out for a bite to eat at Osteria Mozza this past Sunday in West Hollywood.
Christina and Jordan had a backyard celebration at their home for their son Max’s first birthday last week. Little Max turned one year old on January 12th. The theme of the party was inspired by the children’s storybook, “Where the Wild Things Are.”
Among the 40 or so guests were Nicole Richie, her boyfriend Joel Madden and their daughter Harlow.
She recently did an interview where she said they both wanted to add to their family, wonder when that will happen?!
Clay Aiken got his very own caricature from Sardi’s Restaurant this past Tuesday, for his Broadway debut in the musical Spamalot. How nice for him. Receiving a Sardi’s caricature is a big deal on Broadway, so the fact that he got one must mean they feel he really deserves it. Although, this drawing doesn’t really seem to be a caricature at all. Caricatures are supposed to exaggerate some traits but this one looks über flattering.
Aiken told People:
“At the end of the day, Parker is the most important thing of the year, and of my life, without question. Having a son and that type of responsibility is obviously going to be something that I remember forever.”
“I want to spend time with Parker. He’s still uber-dependent,” Aiken says, laughing. “I’m ready for him to start talking. I’m ready for a little action!”
Congratulations on your new baby, your successful run on Broadway, and for having your caricature in Sardis , Clay.
Ashlee Simpson has gone back to blonde after leaving a hair salon in West Hollywood on Friday. I was just starting to like her auburn look… oh well. I would guess she isn’t breast-feeding her baby anymore, since I don’t believe one is supposed to get their hair dyed if they are.
USA Weekend recently sat for a chat with her hubby Pete Wentz about being a new daddy to their son Bronx, who is now 4 weeks.
He talked about his love of reading, and what stories he’ll read to his boy:
Growing up, my parents OD’d me on the library, and I was pretty loaded up when it came to children’s books. I definitely can’t wait to read some of my favorites, like “Goodnight Moons,” “The Little Prince” and the “Mr. Men and Little Miss” books. I know that we already picked up the 50th anniversary copy of “Paddington Bear,” which is a great one.”
Ricky Martin proudly shows off his twin baby boys born this past August via a surrogate mother. He is a five-time Grammy award winner who was a success as a Spanish singer who then went global with his first English album in 1999. His hit “Livin’ La vida loca”, from the ‘Ricky Martin’ album sold 17 million copies.
Here are the some highlights of the interview:
PEOPLE: Describe this time in your life
MARTIN: I’m so happy! Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing. Being a father feels amazing. This has been the most spiritual moment in my life.
How hands-on are you as a father?
I don’t have a nanny. I’m doing this on my own because I don’t want to miss a moment. I have a personal assistant who helps me, someone who takes care of me while I’m taking care of them, but I’m the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep. For any parent, the first couple of months tend to get a little bit intense.
Why did you choose to become a parent via surrogate?
Adoption was one option, but it’s complicated and can take a long time. Surrogacy was an intriguing and faster option. I thought, ‘I’m going to jump into this with no fear.’
Tell us about Valetino’s and Matteo’s personalities.
Valentino loves to sleep. I call him ‘Mr. Peace and Love’ because he’s so chill and serene. Matteo is more alert and active. He was up at 3 a.m. the other night and just hanging!
What is your philosophy on raising your sons?
I love to read books to my sons and tell them stories. I play music for them so they develop their own personalities. I want to give them information and raise them with honesty and love, and give them self-esteem and a lot of acceptance.
Ashlee and hubby Pete were the guests of honor at the Bel-Air Hotel’s Palm Room yesterday. A baby shower was held for them by big sister Jessica and mom Tina. According to Star magazine, the shindig was co-ed and there were about 40 guests.
The appetizers included: crabcakes, peanut butter and jam sandwiches, jicama salad with grapefruit and a bumble bee-shaped cake. An insider who was a guest at the party told the magazine:
“The room was decorated with yellow and orange roses, and guests were given jars of honey with custom-made labels that said ‘Baby Wentz’ and ‘Thank You For Celebrating My Life’ on them.”
The guest went on to add:
“The girls were also given bracelets that had a big bumble bee on them.”
The place must have been ‘buzzing’ with excitement!
