Celebrity Kids

According to her MySpace blog, former porn star and author Jenna Jameson and former UFC champion Tito Ortiz are having twins:

“Yes everyone, I can officially confirm that Tito and I are expecting twins! I had my second ultrasound today and was greeted by two big healthy babies with pounding hearts. I can’t even express the extreme serenity that came over me once I saw my children inside me. It has been my dream to have children for an exremely long time, and I truly feel like finally… the time is right and god has blessed me. I have never felt more like a woman, or more alive.”

Tito and Jenna met on MySpace in 2006 and have been together since. The twins are expected to arrive in April of 2009.

Minnie Driver posted the first photo of 4-week-old Henry Story on her MySpace music page.   Driver said she was totally okay with the  post pregnancy weight and wasn’t in any hurry to get back to a six 6.  Looks like she won’t have to worry about that. (I swear I’m not bitter…much).   Earlier this year Driver talked about what she was looking forward to as a new mommy.

“Babies are endlessly fascinating to look at and I’m obsessed about their complete and utter lack of guile. I’m looking forward to seeing life through the eyes of my own kid.”

Looks like she’s off to a good start.

While in New York for her Changeling red carpet appearance, Angelina Jolie took her three eldest kids to Lee’s Art Shop. Angelina took Maddox Chivan, 7, Pax Thien, 4, Zahara Marley, 3, the four-story mega art store. Angie and the kids typically visit Lee’s when they in the city. Wanna bet they made a trip the fourth story toy section. Angelina made her first post-twins red carpet appearance Saturday night. Her stunning appearance and upbeat attitude flew in the face of postpartum depression rumors.

“Everybody’s great,” she told People magazine. “The babies are getting big and healthy and developing personalities.” Here’s what else she had to say at the red carpet premier.

Heath Ledgers’s daughter has been awarded his $16 million estate. Heath’s most recent will, drafted in 2003, left everything to his parents and sister Kim. Kim said the family made no claim on the estate. “There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda,” Kim Ledger said.

What is in dispute is Heath’s $10 million insurance policy. ReliaStar Life Insurance wrote a $10 million dollar policy on the late actor’s life seven months before he died. The money was to be held in trust for Matilda in the event of her father’s death. ReliaStar refuses to pay on the grounds that Heath’s death was suspicious. Matilda’s legal team is already contesting non-payment.

Becoming a parent makes you grow up and own up to a lot of things. Clay Aiken has FINALLY admitted to being gay.

“Yes, I’m gay,” he reveals in this week’s People. “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”  Clay and son Parker grace the cover of the celeb friendly magazine which also garnered the big I’m-Gay cover featuring Lance Bass back in 2006. Clay became a father in early August. Parker’s mom is Clay’s pal and producer Jaymes Foster. Parker was conceived via artificial insemination.

I’ll bet Clay feels like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.  You can’t really enjoy your life when you are hiding a such a big secret.

Sidenote: Parker’s a cutie

Sharon Stone has lost custody physical custody of her oldest son 8-year-old son Roan. According to court documents obtained by ET , physical custody goes to Sharon’s ex-hubby Phil Bronstein. Court documents state that Brostein”shall have permanent sole physical custody of child. Court finds that Respondent (Sharon Stone) failed to meet her burden of proof and denies Respondent’s (Sharon Stone’s) request for modification of custody.”

This is some shocker. Courts are very mom friendly. For them to take custody away from a wealthy mother is an even bigger deal. No word on what caused the custody change yet. Sharon is also mother to two sons she adopted solo Laird, nearly 4 years-old and Quinn,2. I wonder what this means for the other boys. If one child was not fit to live with Sharon, will these children be removed from the home as well?

Celeb parents Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony only recently hired a nanny for 5 1/2 month old twins Max David and Emme Maribel. “I did it for a long time but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago,” Lopez told People recently.

“[Most days] I get up early with them. Then when the nanny comes, I can take a shower and give them their breakfast. She’s there to help me get things done.”

Though she recently completed a triathlon, she’s not obsessed with her body being exactly what it was before the babies. (I’m guessing that taking care of twins is a good start to post pregnancy weight loss. ) “The triathlon really helped get me in better shape, and snapped me back into my body,” she said. “I don’t weigh myself a lot. I still have 10 lbs., or so. [But] I don’t have any problems with it. I never felt I had to get rid of it.”

Her hubby agrees, she says, “Marc loves the way I look!”

Jennifer completed the annual Malibu Nautical Marathon which raised money for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Mark Wahlberg and his fiance Victoria Secret’s model Rhea Durhman have welcomed their third child.  According to US , the baby was born on on Tuesday in Los Angeles.  The couple are already parents to 4-year-old  Ella and a 2-year-old Michael.  Despite their growing family, they only recently agreed to marry.  They actually split afte Ella was born.

“We continue to grow in our relationship, and we have a much better chance of succeeding and staying together now,” he  said prior to the birth.

“I was not prepared to be married, no matter who it was when I was 20 or 30,” the 37-year-old actor added. “Committing to making it work and all the other things that go into building a solid foundation is where I’m at now.”

The couple worked hard to make it work. “We broke up after Ella was born. We’d been on again, off again for those few years. But we always wanted to make it work, we wanted to be together, we wanted to raise our family together. And it’s been a lot of hard work and counselling, and I think that’s the only way to make it work, to put in the time and effort.”

Congratulations to the happy couple.  I wonder what they named him?

Jada Pinkett admits that neither she nor hubby Will Smith are particularly strict with any of their three children. However, Trey, 16,(by Will’s first marriage) Jaden, 10, and Willow, 7 can always count on their Oscar nominated Dad to be the more lenient parent especially when it comes to sweets.

“He’s so lenient on that stuff,” she told People Magazine last month. “Daddy tends to [say], ‘Yeah! Have chocolate cake for dinner! It’s all right with me.’ I’ll come home and it’s just, ‘Has anyone had lunch?’ ‘Yeah, I had some Frosted Flakes!’ “

Jada said that she understands the importance of limits.

“We’re not strict but we definitely believe it’s a very important component for rearing children,” she said. “It creates safety for them. They understand that they need guidance.”

The homeschooling mom is set to star n the Lifetime series Times Heals.

Pinkett Smith will play Nancy Hawthorne, which the network describes as the strong but caring director of a nursing hospital in North Carolina, a single mother who places the pain of others first.

Lynne Spears released a memoir of sorts on Tuesday.  Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World chronicles the ups and downs of raising two daughters in the spotlight. This morning, Lynne talked with Today’s Meredith Viera about how 17-year-old Jamie Lynne revealed her pregnancy. According to Lynne, Jamie handed her a note and told her read in in her room to read it.

“I was just truly in shock and then I started to cry. And then she started consoling me at that point,” Lynne said.

She also blames herself for many of the problems her daughters have encountered. “As a mother, don’t we always blame ourselves? I mean, we’re the first one that’s gonna take the blame,” she said during the interview. “We never get the credit, but we always question ourselves and say, `What did I do? We had this talk just a month ago.’ I mean, I had no idea. I took a lot of the blame. I took all the blame.”

You can catch the rest of the interview below.
