Katie Holmes wants another Tom Cruise baby

Forget all the bother about the baby bottle -- 2-year-old Suri Cruise may have a younger sibling in the works. E! Online says Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been talking about calling the stork for another visit, according to the ever-present close source.

"She said she's got the itch," a friend said. "Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister."

Yes, she needs help if she's to topple Brangelina's wild bunch in a rumble. What does Tom think?

"He said if Katie wants to make another baby, she doesn't have to ask twice," the source said. "He always wanted more. It was Katie who has been holding off. Until now." How ominous that sounds.

Should Suri Cruise still be using a bottle at 2?

Once again, our resident mommy member weighs in: Us magazine reports the shocking truth: Suri Cruise is still using a bottle at age 2. Tsk, tsk, the Parenting Police are saying -- that is so not cool, she must be a tyrant toddler who rules the house.

After the age of one or at least 18 months, all nipples (except for Mommy's of course) should go in the trash, and baby should be using a sippy cup or a straw or something that doesn't look like a child in need of a fake comfort object when in public.

Tom and Katie's constant traveling is considered a possible sticking point, since her schedule and sleep can be upset by all the schlepping and she could "regress" into self-comforting behavior, the baby doc quoted by Us says. And don't even get them started on kids who are still nursing at 2. Oh wait, we just did.

So, dear readers, we are buckling up our child-safety belts to protect our nether regions and asking: Should Suri still be using a bottle or should Katie be hitting the bottle more to deal with attacks like this? The comment board awaits.

Amy Poehler, Will Arnett expecting first baby

Just in time for her movie Baby Mama to take the top spot at the box office, SNL's Amy Poehler has announced she's pregnant with husband Will Arnett's baby. At least, we think it's Arnett's baby.

The 36-year-old actress' people confirmed to People that their first child is due in late fall (Arnett is 37). That's the perfect publicity trifecta for Poehler, whose Nickelodeon show The Mighty B! also debuted.

That's such nice change from the usual divorces, DUIs and drug charges we see from folks. Maybe they can make a sitcom about people in their mid 30s having babies for the first time. They could call it Your Life Is Over.

Joe Simpson wants pic deal for Ashlee's baby

We'll let the "is she or isn't she?" talk about Ashlee Simpson's supposed pregnancy slide for now, because the New York Post's Page Six says papa Joe Simpson is already pimping his daughter's baby out to celeb glossies.

"Joe is contacting all the weeklies and asking them to pony up $1 million to put Ashlee on the cover," a magazine insider said. "The deal would include photos of Ashlee -- taken by Joe, of course, so he can make more money -- an interview and photos of the baby when she has it."

He's all heart, ain't he? But a million is a lot to ask, and no one is putting up that kind of coin.

"$60,000 maybe -- but definitely not a million," one nameless editor says. "The timing is a little suspicious. Her album (Bittersweet World) is dropping next week, and there was little to no interest until now. Ashlee's lucky she got pregnant, frankly."

Hey, Joe knows exactly what he's doing. Seriously, look how wildly successful Jessica is lately.

Ashlee Simpson pregnant with Pete Wentz's kid

Why the big rush to get married for Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz? If you believe Us, it's because the 23-year-old is pregnant with their child.

The magazine says a source confirms to them that the duo are having an old-time shotgun wedding, which must be at the insistence of creepy papa Joe Simpson. The engagement was confirmed by the couple just last week, but Wentz called the pregnancy rumor a "witch hunt" in a statement to MTV News on Monday.

All we can do is thank the powers that be her sister Jessica hasn't yet reproduced.

Jodie Sweetin also has a baby, but no one cares

In much less important (?) baby news, Full House's Jodie Sweetin, a.k.a. Stephanie Tanner, is all growns up now that she's birthed a daughter. People reports the 26-year-old actress and husband Cody Herpin welcomed 8-pound, 7-ounce baby girl named Zoie on Saturday.

"Jodie says that she and her husband and family are absolutely thrilled and in love with baby Zoie," a rep told the magazine. The baby's first words will no doubt be, "How rude!"

Cate Blanchett has another baby boy

Can you believe Cate Blanchett has two children? wait, what's that? She has three now? Well, let's welcome the new babe, 7-pound, 9-ounce Ignatius Martin, who was born Sunday night at a Sydney hospital, according to Australia's WHO magazine.

The 38-year-old actress and her husband, writer-director Andrew Upton, already have two sons, Dashiell, 6, and Roman, 3, which means there's lots of shouting and running in their home. Just two days before the birth, Blanchett had attended her younger sister's university graduation, which just goes to show she's not going to let much of anything interrupt her plans.

Giada De Laurentiis' c-section: Good or bad?

Once again, our resident mommy member adds her two cents: Giada De Laurentiis' va-jay-jay is up for debate over at Celebrity-Babies.com. While some of the mums are miffed at the picture of the perfectly made up new mother, which no real woman looks like in the delivery room (see it here, courtesy of People), the maternal rage is directed at how daughter Jade Marie was delivered via c-section on March 29.

There's lots of c-sections in Hollywood, with the rumor being celebrity moms will only have a kid if they go out through the window instead of the door to prevent any tearing ... you know ... down there.

Christina Aguilera told Hello the reason she asked for a caesarean section: "I didn't want any surprises. Honestly, I didn't want any (vaginal) tearing. I had heard horror stories of women going in and having to have an emergency c-section (anyway). The hardest part was deciding on his birthday. I wanted to leave it up to fate, but at the same time I was ready to be done early!"

Victoria Beckham was dubbed "too Posh to push" by the British tabs when she had her 1999 C-section for her son Brooklyn and is said to have kicked off the trend. She said the kind cuts for her two other children were medically necessary, but she's widely regarded as having had them done to preserve her famously skinny figure. Others on the c-section greatest hits: Angelina Jolie, Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears.

So tell us, Juice*heads, since you had such spirited opinions on Jennifer Lopez's thoughts on breastfeeding, what do you think of all this vagina vanity?

Halle Berry working out, selling baby Nahla

Are you hoping to see Halle Berry's new baby Nahla plastered all over celebrity mags? Don't hold your breath. Berry and Gabriel Aubry are still looking for that multimillion-dollar deal their spawn deserves, The Scoop says.

"Photos are being shopped, but nothing's been settled," one magazine editor says. Whether a deal is struck before the Halle Berry Celebrity Golf Classic on April 27 is anyone's guess.

But at least we'll get to see Halle's post-baby bod. A source tells Us "she's thrilled to start exercising again" and has taken to yoga, swimming and light weights. But until some mag offers here a gajillion dollars for access to the babe in question, that's all we're getting, looks like.

Heath Ledger love child rumors are so untrue

Don't go trust Australian reports that Heath Ledger had a love child with a 25-year-old woman when he was 17 just yet. Ok! magazine (the same one being deceptive about its Britney Spears diet coverage) says that's not the case. The husband of the unnamed woman has said it's all so much B.S., and the couple will submit their daughter to a DNA test to prove it.

"The whole thing with Ledger being the father is not true. No way. No can be. We knew it would flare up and that is the point of my talking and the simple thing is we will do a DNA test," he said. "I'm the step-dad, but there's nothing to hide and if I asked the mother I'm sure that she wouldn't mind having a DNA test."

Of course, neither this man nor the woman in question -- who refused to answer questions, except to say "There's no background, there's no grounds, there's no nothing" -- are named, so as far as we know the whole thing was made up by Sydney's Daily Telegraph to sell newspapers. Who knew media outlets would spread rumors without verifying them?

Jennifer Love Hewitt is soooo not pregnant

Jennifer Love Hewitt is like a chained-up pit bull: You know she's gonna bark, so all the kids will tease her. So now she's facing a round of pregnancy rumors. Why? Well, that unfortunate dress she wore during last weekend's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, for one.

People says that overdose of baby doll yellowness (plus some paparazzi pics of her all covered up while running errands) have added fuel to the baby bump fire. But oh no, it appears she's not pregnant after all. So says her people, who issued the statement: "She is not pregnant." So there.

J. Love's got to be awfully mad she keeps getting fat comments like these after that row with her bikini last year. Maybe it's time for her to take that Ghost Whisperer money and hire a fashion consultant, hmm?

Giada De Laurentiis gives birth to a baby girl

Food Network's Giada De Laurentiis finally birthed her baby over the weekend, the first for her and her husband.

"De Laurentiis and husband Todd Thompson welcomed their first child, a healthy baby girl, on Saturday March 29 in Los Angeles," her representative told People. "Jade Marie De Laurentiis Thompson weighed in at 5 lbs, 13 oz."

Three pounds of that must have been from her baby's assuredly gigantic head (jokes, people, jokes!). The 37-year-old cook/chef has been married to Thompson since 2003, so he must love her outsized cranium.

Heath Ledger may have secret Aussie love child

Apparently a sufficient amount of time has passed since Heath Ledger's death that all the atrocious stuff associated with celebrities kicking starts to come out. To wit: Australia's Daily Telegraph says Ledger may have fathered a secret love child.

A 17-year-old schoolboy Heath allegedly had an affair with an older woman who was living with another man at the time. After Heath and the woman broke it off, she discovered she was pregnant with a daughter, the paper claims.

"There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father," Heath's uncle Hadyn Ledger said. If true, that means estate claims would have to be split with Matilda Rose, Heath's two-year-old daughter with Michelle Williams. Of course, we wouldn't be surprised to hear this is some grand money-stealing scheme launched by the dreadful, outcast Ledger uncles, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Jennifer Lopez thinks breast feeding is no good

From The Juice* collective’s resident mommy member:

The mommy bloggers are tsk-tsking over People magazine’s slobbering piece with pictures of the palace that is the nursery for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s twins.

It’s not the Dolce and Gabbana fur wraps that have them throwing down their sippy cups of chardonnay, it’s her shrug over the whole idea of breastfeeding: “My mom didn’t breast-feed, and I think that was the thing for me. You read and figure out what’s the best thing for them.”

Um, what exactly has she been reading? Because even the side of a bottle of formula bottle reads “Breast is best,” because breastfed infants have lower rates of hospital admissions, ear infections, diarrhea, rashes, allergies and other medical problems.

The People profile also talks about how she’s now training for a triathlon, working out a couple hours a day. “I want my babies to be proud of me,” she stated.  Whaaa? How are babies going to be proud of you for getting your body back in record time? They are still trying to find their toes at the moment. Just admit you have tremendous pressure to look good in show biz and be done with it.

Jamie Lynn Spears just might be engaged

While her big sister Britney is basking in the warm glow of helping How I Met Your Mother garner its highest ratings ever with her appearance on the show Monday, Jamie Lynn Spears may be working on an old-fashioned shotgun wedding.

People says the knocked-up 16-year-old has been sporting a new rock provided by 18-year-old baby's daddy Casey Aldridge.

"She's got an engagement ring," a source says. "She's been showing it up, talking about it."

Of course, the source doesn't mention the stone in the ring is bright red, the size of a golf ball and tastes like black cherry, but we digress. Really, it's awesome to see another teen pregnancy overshadowed by doomed nuptials.

Here's Jennifer Lopez's babies, Max and Emme

If you've been craving a first look at the prince and princess of North America's Spanish-laguage pop dynasty, check out the new ish of People.

The mag features the first pic of Max and Emme, the twin offspring of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Seeing as how they will only be a month old on Saturday, it's not surprising that they basically sleep through the whole shoot. Don't get used to that, J. Lo!

And we'd just like to thank the eagle-eared Juice* reader who pointed out Max and Emme are also the names of two Hispanic characters on Dragon Tales. If Jenny and Marc didn't know before, they will in about, oh, two or three years.

Meanwhile, Will Smith, Jada look to adopt baby

Forget the Scientology stuff: We've heard rumbling for some time that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett were looking to adopt a baby, but now the folks at NPR and Newsweek are saying yes, in fact, that's the case.

"They're in the process of adopting at this particular point and the word is that they're adopting a Chinese baby, a baby from china," Newsweek's entertainment correspondent Allison Samuels told NPR's Ferai Chideya. Nice that she specified that Chinese babies are, in fact, from China.

Samuels also discussed the fact that such a move would result in a black couple trying to raise a baby from Asia instead of a baby with the same skin color, and that may cause problems for some.

"It's going to be a challenge for them, and I do think, you know, people will sort of question exactly what they were doing," Samuels said. "And maybe they'll change their mind; maybe they'll  go ahead and adopt an African child."

Or, it may just be possible that the unfortunate racial hangups Americans have just might not be genetically programmed into babies' brains, and everyone could just get over it and let them be happy. Either way, audio of the interview is here.

Very pregnant Halle Berry has a baby girl

Halle Berry finally pulled the pin and had a baby girl Sunday night, People reports, and not a moment too soon. Girl was getting so big it looked like the defensive line for the New York Giants was going to pop out.

Berry's publicist, Meredith O'Sullivan, told People the 41-year-old actress is "doing great" with her first child, who was born at Cedars-Sinai in L.A.

We'll provide more details about Halle and model daddy Gabriel Aubry as they become available, but for now all we can do is await the babetastic throwdown that will result when this child and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt team up to overthrow Suri Cruise as the cutest celebribaby in the known universe.

Kate Beckinsale really is one 'Mean' mother

Kate Beckinsale is getting plenty of exposure these days, with interviews in magazines aplenty in advance of her upcoming flicks Winged Creatures, Whiteout and Nothing But the Truth, in which she plays a reporter who goes to jail to protect a source.

But what strikes us as interesting (besides Kate's various states of undress in those photo shoots) comes from her statements about parenting in the latest copy of Mean.

"I don't understand how more people don't drop children out of windows," she says. "I remember turning up on the set of Pearl Harbor and all the boys had been to boot camp and I had a 14-month-old baby, and had been told that I had to be in the gym four hours a day.

"On top of the not sleeping and all this physical activity, the boys kept saying, 'Wow, it was so tough, you have no idea.' I remember thinking to myself, 'You went for five days, I haven't slept in 14 months. You want to go toe to toe?' "

Jamie Lynn Spears will appear on ABC show

Jamie Lynn Spears could be back on the tube very soon, since TMZ reports the pregnant teen is going to be on ABC soon. Spears will have a guest spot on the appropriately titled Miss Guided as a “troubled student who gets some exciting news from college.”

We wonder if art imitates life, since the would-be actress just set a great example for trashy kids everywhere by earning her GED. And since mama Lynne is reportedly going to ruin raise the baby, that leaves Jamie Lynn a chance to go to college.

Britney Spears pregnant with Adnan's baby?

Did we mention Star has their own cover storky — uh, story — about a big name possibly being pregnant?

The rag says that only weeks after heading to Mexico to exchange worthless wedding vows with photographer Adnan Ghalib, the spotlight hog with the Brazilian chin wax has been telling folks Britney Spears is pregnant with his baby. That crashing sound is the world falling down around your ears.

The evidence, as they call it, is Britney’s ever-growing midsection bulge, despite days of classes at the Millenium Dance Complex in La-La Land.

“Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he’ll be made for life,” a friend adept at stating the obvious says.

But while the 35-year-old shutterbug is glad he’s opened an account at the First national bank of Britney, her fam is obviously nonplussed. “Her parents know she can’t handle more children,” another master of the apparent says.

You know, “is-she-or-isn’t-she?” stories like this are a dime a dozen, but for the sake of all that is good and just, we hope Star is dead wrong.

Is Katie Holmes pregnant? Don't bet on it

If nothing else, Ok! knows how to sell magazines as evidenced by devoting most of their cover to a speculative story on whether Katie Holmes is pregnant.

The rumor-filled fires were stoked by Katie’s recent penchant for loose clothing at the Costume Designers Guild Awards and the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.

“She has that special glow that only pregnant women have,” an “eyewitness” tells the magazine. “I would say there is a strong possibility that she’s pregnant.”

There’s also a strong possibility that Natalie Portman might call us and ask us for capital for her microloan project, but that doesn’t mean it will happen.

But the unnamed sources continue: “To be honest, she’s giving up the pipe dream of wanting an Oscar for now. She wants to focus on being married and happy, and giving Suri a little brother or sister.” Yeah, we think that dream of wanting an Oscar would have to stay a dream anyway. Did you see Mad Money?

J.Lo has J.Twins

 

Say goodbye to that Honda parked beneath Jennifer Lopez's dress, because the "actor"-"singer"-"dancer" has finally given birth. People.com practically screamed the news from the rooftops at 2:10 a.m. EST, saying Lopez and Marc Anthony are now the proud parents of a 5-pound, 7-ounce girl born at 12:12 a.m. and a 6-pound boy born at 12:23 a.m. "Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," said Lopez's manager Simon Fields. Congratulations, Anthopez!

Jessica Alba is having twins, J.Lo-style

Not to be outdone by Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba will have herself a pair of babies to sell to the tabloids for twice the price.

Citing an exclusive in the National Enquirer, Starpulse says a friend has dished about the twins, and said Alba’s due on June 8, which gives us plenty of time to knit another set of booties for her.

“Knowing that she’s going to have twins has turned Jessica’s life upside down,” a friend says. “She and Cash (Warren) have had to scrap plans for a one-baby nursery and start all over again.” Gee, with the credit markets in turmoil, where will they ever find the cash for that?

Well, at least they know if it’ll be boys or girls, right?

“They’re not sure whether they want to know the sex of the babies now or wait to be surprised,” the friend says. Great, that means we might have to buy baby clothes in yellow and green.

Nicole Kidman finally shows off her baby bump

We've been hearing rumors for months that Nicole Kidman is pregnant, and by the time she got around to confirming them, Helle Berry, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Lopez and everyone else in Hollywood pencilled in visits from the stork.

But finally, at a Tokyo press conference Wednesday for the Japanese release of The Golden Compass (coming March 1, if you're flying into Narita), we've gotten visual proof of the long-awaited baby bump.

At this rate it will either be the world's tiniest live birth, or Nicole will be pregnant for 26 months.

Jennifer Lopez checks into the baby hospital

It’s officially Jennifer Lopez-watch at The Juice*, since the New York Post’s Page Six says the diva has finally checked in to her private room at North Shore University Hospital. The tabloid had previously reported that the room had “been sitting empty for two weeks,” complete with a leather couch brought in especially for Mrs. Marc Anthony.

An unnamed patient from the hospital was sure to tell the rag that the staff was starstruck, murmuring “J.Lo is here!” in hushed tones usually reserved for the pope or Brangelina. The J.Lo camp isn’t talking, so stick with The Juice* for updates — but not photos, because we don’t have 6 cents, let alone $6 million.

Jodie Sweetin pregnant with elephant herd

A while back The Juice* brought news (and photos) about Jodie Sweetin, the one-time methhead who used to play little Stephanie Tanner on Full House. Well, she’s all grown up now — and grown out, since she’s due to give birth to a daughter in April.

“I’m ready to go,” she told Us. “It’s a scary thing but I’m kind of scared of how much bigger I’m going to get!” Judging from that picture, it is indeed a frightening thought, considering she has about two months to go. The 26-year-old says she and husband Cody Herpin haven’t decided on a name for their daughter yet.

“We want something different, something cute and girly, but not too girly — a little funky,” she said. “We’re not naming her after any fruits or electronic devices or anything like that. She’s going to have a fairly normal name.” But Kimmy Gibbler still isn’t allowed to come to the shower (boy, Jodie’s probably sick of jokes like that).

Jennifer Lopez will have a boy and a girl

There’s only two weeks to go before Jennifer Lopez bursts open and two future pop sensations emerge, but PageSix.com says Mrs. Marc Anthony dished the biggest news yet at the Marchesa show Wednesday.

“I’m having twins: a boy and a girl,” she allegedly said, waddling nine-months-pregnant among designers like Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig.

We won’t have to wait long to find out if that’s the 100 percent truth, though. New York magazine says J.Lo has confided in a friend that her due date is Feb. 23. “Two weeks! I’m freaking out!” she said.

Not nearly as much as the celeb glossies will if she decides to charge them twice the price for baby photos.

Matthew McConaughey loves babies, trailers

Matthew McConaughey tells USA Today that girlfriend Camilla Alves found a novel way to tell him he was going to be a daddy.

“I got a card with an ultrasound,” he reveals. “Awesome. Awesome. If she told me she had some news to share with me, that would not have been in my Top 10. It’s much better.” For the record, ladies, with Valentine’s Day coming up, be sure you know how your man would react to such a stunt.

But as Matty prattled on, he discussed his predilection for living in trailers in Malibu with his girl. “It’s by choice. It’s fine living. We’re working on a house, but don’t have that yet,” he says. “Got two more trailers in production. I’m either going to plant those in spots and travel around the world, or have a bit of a compound of Airstreams. I’d love to have an Airstream bed-and-breakfast one day, Airstreams in a circle.”

Yeah, who needs silly amenities like in-ground plumbing and not having to make sure the blocks on the wheels are set?

Your afternoon film and TV roundup

• Sylvester Stallone will keep making movies, signing a two-picture deal with Rambo producer Danny Dimbort, the Hollywood Reporter says. Next up: Marion Cobretti and Lincoln Hawk.

• Jurassic Park III director Joe Johnston has stepped in to take over filming The Wolfman from Mark Romanek, who quit over creative differences, Variety says. The differences must have included whether star Benicio Del Toro needed makeup or not.

• Scrubs actor John C. McGinley and his wife, Nichole Kessler, are the proud parents of a new baby girl, Billie Grace, E! Online reports. It was Nichole’s first baby (McGinley has a son from a previous marriage), but since she’s a doula — a nonmedical birthing assistant — we’re assuming everything went just fine.

Christina Aguilera wants a solo baby cover

Christina Aguilera may be a mama now, but that doesn’t make her any less of a diva. MSNBC says Xtina is furious that Ok! wouldn’t guarantee a solo shot of her and baby Max Liron on the cover of the new issue, so she’s refused to let the mag show them at all.

Why the stubborn publishing problem? It’s all about numbers, baby. “The Ok! wedding cover didn’t sell as well as they hoped, and even her recent Marie Claire cover underperformed, all things considered,” a source says.

And lest Christina forget she was second banana until Britney Spears went to Crazytown, an “industry insider” lays it down proper: “Christina has an inflated sense of her own value and seems to expect an extortionate amount of money for these baby pictures. I’m not sure Ok! or much of the industry thinks is a dollar figure that’s worth it. … She hasn’t proven to be a real seller.”

All this because Aguilera doesn’t want to share a cover with Nicole Richie and Harlow Winter? For the rumored $1 million sources say they’ll both get, Christina should deal with it.

Jolie for sale, Oprah for scale, Dog sets sail

• Angelina Jolie remains coy about whether she’s pregnant or not, with Us magazine saying she may sell the official confirmation to the highest bidder and give the money to charity. But Ange, honey, you see, every gossip glossy out there is already saying you are, so who cares?

• Artist Daniel Edwards, famous for his sculptures of Britney Spears giving birth and a certain hotel heiress being autopsied, has created a bronze sculpture of a “curvaceous and robust” Oprah Winfrey called “The Oprah Sarcophagus,” TMZ reports. It’s no Skinny Elvis stamp, that’s for sure.

• And finally, Duane “Dog” Chapman is free from extradition efforts after a three-judge panel in Mexico ruled criminal charges for bounty hunting can’t be reinstated against him, the AP reports. If only he could get his TV show back on the air ...

Gwen Stefani pregnant with second child

Gwen Stefani will be taking some time off her clothing line, perfume-selling and HP commercials to gestate a second child, the U.K.’s Sun swears. The 38-year-old singer has confirmed she is 13 weeks along with husband Gavin Rossdale’s child, the paper says.

“They found out at California’s Cedars-Sinai hospital and couldn’t wait to share the news with everyone,” a source tells the tabloid. That’s funny, because just last week her rep was denying pregnancy rumors.

We understand that’s normal until the first trimester is over, but our favorite Orange County girl is just playing with our emotions at this point.

"They and the whole family are delighted," Gavin's pop Douglas told People. And in case you're wondering, her son, Kingston, will turn 2 in May.

Angelina Jolie wears loose dress to SAG Awards

Rumors are running rampant after last Thursday’s report by X17online.com that Angelina Jolie is once again pregnant — with twins! — and her appearance with Brad Pitt at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards sure didn’t help. Instead of the usual close-fitting gown most celebs wore, Angie opted for a long, flowy vintage Hermès dress that would hide any tell-tale baby bumps.

“She is glowing,” a source told Us. “In great spirits and totally beaming.” Jolie was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role in A Mighty Heart, but didn’t win. She’ll just have to let her four current children cheer her up.

Angelina Jolie might be pregnant with twins

It’s Friday, so it must be time to start pregnancy rumors about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Star has “confirmed” the pouty lipped goddess of glamor has not one but TWO buns in the oven, according to the source.

The evidence the magazine cites for this? The 32-year-old was looking much healthier during her Jan. 7 appearance at the Critics’ Choice awards (right), and while Brad downed some brewskis, Angie stuck with good ol’ hydrogen hydroxide (that’d be water).

This would bring their brood to a total of six, and almost evens out the adoptees and biologicals. “Brad and Angelina are absolutely ecstatic,” another source says. “But I still think there will be more adoptions to come.”

Jessica Alba is scared of breastfeeding baby

That Extra sure has its finger on the pulse of what celeb-watchers want — Jessica Alba’s breasts. The actress told the TV show that while she’s thrilled about the prospect of her baby with Cash Warren, she’s been dreaming about something that’s been bothering her.

“It had to do with breastfeeding, which is the only thing I’m paranoid about, more than giving birth,” she said. Alba said she’s worried about gaining weight from the pregnancy, and tries to eat as healthy as possible. “As long as I don’t’ gain too much to fast, that’s the key.”

But what’s the biggest change thus far? “Definitely a lot more emotions!” she said. “Anything could make me incredibly angry or break down crying, and that’s not something I’m used to.” And after watching her movies we can confirm that, no, emoting is not normally her strong suit.

Jamie Lynn Spears is (sorta) giving up her baby

In a turn that simultaneously fills us with equal measures joy and horror, Jamie Lynn Spears has decided she’s going to give up her baby after it’s born. Unfortunately, it’s for her mother Lynne to raise. What is this, Desperate Housewives?

Star says the 16-year-old will hand over the babe so Lynne can care for it in Kentwood, La., while Spears continues her career in Hollywood. What a message to send to the kids!

“After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mum Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do,” the ever-present anonymous source told the magazine. “Lynne says Jamie doesn’t understand the life long consequences of having a baby.”

So even though Jamie’s rep says the baby’s mama’s mama is not completely taking over the responsibilities, she will help out a lot. A lot.

“She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career,” Star’s source continues. “So she’ll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter.”

And that, dear readers, is the kind of attitude that made her kids such screw-ups in the first place.

British singer Lily Allen suffers a miscarriage

British pop singer Lily Allen has unfortunately suffered a miscarriage, the U.K.’s Sun reports. The 22-year-old had just returned from a trip to the Maldives earlier this week with her boyfriend, 37-year-old Chemical Brothers cohort Ed Simons.

“Lily and Ed are in a state of shock,” a source told the paper. “The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are absolutely heartbroken. Lily’s entire outlook on life changed after she found out she was pregnant. ... She had turned her back on her party girl image and had turned over a new leaf.”

A spokesman confirmed the news, saying the couple will not be making any further comments on the matter. Allen had only confirmed the pregnancy about a month ago.

'Playboy' Playmate: David Spade knocked me up

In further proof that there is no justice in the world, 22-year-old Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace is saying David Spade (of all people) has impregnated her, TMZ reports. Does she really want that story getting around?

Grace, who was Miss March 2005, says she had a fling with Spade, and que sera, sera and all that.

“I had a brief relationship with Jillian Grace,” Spade told the site. “If it is true that I am the father of her child, then I will accept responsibility.”

We’re guessing that means fat paychecks for child support, which may be what Grace had in mind all along.

Matthew McConaughey's got a baby on order

While Matthew McConaughey’s new movie with Kate Hudson, Fool’s Gold, is readied for its big-screen release, the actor announced on his Web site that he’s gonna be a daddy. The lucky mom-to-be? His three-months-along girlfriend, Brazilian model Camila Alves. Is every woman from Brazil a model?

“Got some blessed news ... a celebration of life and bounty ... a newborn concieved (sic) ... yes, my girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together,” McConaughey wrote. “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 a mother and a father. Wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution.” That last bit oughtta scramble Bill Foster’s eggs for awhile.

Aguilera, Richie, somebody else have babies

The stork was pretty busy out in La-La Land over the weekend, with Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie both popping out their little bundles of joy.

"Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman are proud to announce the birth of their son Max Liron Bratman," a message on Xtina's Web site read. "He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy." The baby was born Saturday night and weighs 6 pounds, 2 ounces, the AP reports. Something tells us Aguilera will avoid the parenting pitfalls Britney Spears has suffered.

Meanwhile, People said celebutante Richie birthed new daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden on Friday. "We are very blessed she's healthy and beautiful and so good already," daddy Joel Madden told People. "We are very happy." Let's hope they manage to keep certain members of the HIlton clan away.

And finally, Courtney Thorne-Smith has given birth to a baby boy, Jacob Emerson Fishman, her publicist said Sunday. We're sure hubby and new father Roger Fishman is very happy, but this kid won't get a fraction of the exposure the other two will. Maybe that's for the best ...

Ricki Lake opens wide for documentary

Prepare to see a side of Ricki Lake you’ve never before experienced. The New York Post reports her new documentary on childbirth, The Business of Being Born, features Ricki buck naked in her bathtub and giving birth to her second son. The explicit footage, made in 2001, will be screening at the IFC Center in the West Village. Afterward, the actress and TV host calls the experience “empowering” because she didn’t use drugs — although the same cannot be said for audience members.

Dennis Quaid and wife slam Cedars-Sinai

Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly, denounced the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over a “lack of candor” about medical errors they believe caused their newborn twins to receive overdoses of a blood thinner.

The couple said they were particularly upset to learn what really happened from a state investigation. The report’s findings released Wednesday by the California Department of Public Health conflict with the hospital’s initial report that the children each received one vial containing 10,000 units per milliliter of heparin instead of the common dosage of 10 units per milliliter. The report found that the children actually received two of the vials.

“We find it outrageous and totally unacceptable that we are learning for the first time... exactly what transpired,” the actor and his wife said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. “The hospital’s lack of candor has left us with the uneasy feeling that we may never know the whole story.”

Pamela Anderson pregnant! Well, maybe not.

Just when we were ready to ship her a set of silver implants to celebrate the news that Pam Anderson is pregnant with her skeevy soon to be ex-husband Rick Salomon, Pammy issues a terse NO on her personal blog to squash the rumors. The divorce, however, is still gestating.

But with TMZ and other internet outlets trumpeting the news that a future sex tape star was on the way, Pam's personal blog posted the date and "No" as the day's entry, which is assumed to be rumor control and not her answer to the Church of Scientology.

See? We told you Nicole Kidman is pregnant

At last, Nicole Kidman stopped being coy and admitted that yes, she is pregnant with Keith Urban's baby. Can we get a little water over here? The denial marathon has finally ended.

Kidman's publicist, Wendy Day, told London's Daily Mail "The couple are thrilled."

The paper says the couple told their families over Christmas that the child is expected in the summer. All the Urbans, who travelled to Sydney from Nashville and points beyond, were told there was a reason why Kidman had planned on winding down her film career.

Kidman has just finished filming Baz Luhrmann's Australia and, as reported in The Juice* yesterday, she's has withdrawn from The Reader.

No, really, Nicole Kidman might be pregnant

Nicole Kidman may be in the middle of denying she's pregnant every other week, but the New York Post is pointing fingers again after reporting the actress is dropping out her next movie.

Later this month Kidman was due to start shooting The Reader, a post=World War II drama directed by Stephen Daldry, but is so concerned about her pending baby bump she's decided to let the movie go, leaving co-star Ralph Fiennes twisting in the wind.

"I am being told that the status on The Reader has not changed." a Weinstein Company rep told the paper, but didn't elaborate on whether that meant a Kidman replacement had been found.

Just last Friday Kidman refused to answer an Australian reporter whether she was pregnant, but the Post's source says, "Of course, everyone knows she's pregnant and lying about it."

Furthermore, the Post says Vanity Fair is talking about moving up her photo shoot for the magazine. "It's because the costumes she's set to wear won't fit her much longer," another source said.

Keep your eye on the tummy to find out.

Nick says 'Zoey 101' is staying on the air

Despite Internet rumors to the contrary, Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 (starring Jamie Lynn Spears) hasn’t been canceled, Nickelodeon says. The U.K.’s Sun quoted an insider as saying, “Nickelodeon bosses are still undecided whether to air seas
