Eric Dane Rebecca Gayheart Expecting Second Child


In May, Grey’s Anatomy actor Eric Dane noted that there was no change “more dramatic” than that of a woman becoming a mother for the first time. We guess that means there are plenty of “dramatic changes” headed to the House of McSteamy.

Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart (You may know her as the “Noxzema Girl…”) are expecting their second child, loose-lipped squeals tell PEOPLE. The couple is staying tight-lipped, but Word on the Curb has it that a new arrival is will definitely be joining the couple’s 16 month-old daughter Billie Beatrice, whom Gayheart, 39, and Dane, 38, welcomed last year.

The couple, who married on Valentine’s Day 2007, already has one son, River, 4. Russell once said that becoming a mom helped make her more sensitive to the needs of children.

“You become a mom and you sort of think, ‘Is it going to change everything?’ But it doesn’t. You still like what you like,” Keri told Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford on The TODAY Show back in Nov. 2009. “But I think the one thing is it makes you very sensitive and in tune to kids. If any kid is in peril, you’re like, ‘That’s my kid!’”

Aishwarya Rai Pregnant

Aishwarya Rai Pregnant

After dozens of false baby bump reports over the years, variously triggered by sumptuous dinners, lack of exercise or a ill fitting dresses, Aishwarya Rai has a bun in the oven for real, confirmed by none other than Pa-In-Law Amitabh Bachchan.

Aishwarya, 37, and Abhishek Bachchan, 35, who celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary this April, are expecting their first child together.

"T 410 -NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!" Amitabh shared his excitement with his twitter fans around midnight of June 20.

Amitabh's next tweet said:

"The child of Abhishek and Aishwarya shall be the first Bachchan of the generation after my brother and me ..."

"Clarifying : Amitabh and Ajitabh , first generation Bachchan ... then Abhishek and Bhim and now Abhisheks and Aishwarya's ..."

Abhishek Bachchan, who can get fairly chirpy on Twitter, has so far let his father do the talking.

Aishwarya's visit at Cannes 2011 last month had sparked fresh pregnancy rumors as she had looked curvier than her usual self and had walked the red carpet in dresses with a belly covering flap.

More recently, pregnancy rumors surfaced during her appearance at the Prix de Diane Longines at Hippodrome de Chantilly in France on June 12, where her two piece dress had a loose top and she was seen frequently covering her stomach with her hand.

Aishwarya is currently filming for Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine, which rolled on June 7 on a 45 day start-to-finish schedule.

Aishwarya, who has not signed any other film, may not be seen on the silver screen for a long time following the release of Heroine in February 2012.

Lauryn Hill Pregnant Again


L-Boogie’s got another bun in the oven. Grammy Award-winning singer/rapper Lauryn Hill is pregnant with her sixth child. The former Fugee –- who already has five children, Zion David-Nesta, 13, Selah, 12, Joshua, nine, John, seven, and three-year-old Sarah with on/off partner Rohan Marley –- announced her news at the end of her concert at Detroit’s Chene Park on Saturday night.

“I keep having these children. I don’t know if I’m the most fertile woman in America. I’m going to be taking time off to give birth,” she told the crowd.

Most Fertile Woman in the Nation? Quick — someone dial the folks at Guinness!

Lauryn, 36, is reportedly in her second trimester and is expected to give birth later this year. The soon-to-be mama is staying mum about the identity of the presumably proud father, but we’re guessing Lauryn’s newly-occupied is likely the work of Rohan…again.

The soccer ace has now spoken out about their impending arrival, insisting the famous family is delighted to be welcoming a little girl at last.

“We’re still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon. Our three boys are happy and excited, and Victoria is doing well,” he said.

The couple is already parents to Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight and Cruz, five.

Natalie Portman accused of popularising premarital pregnancy


Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman, who is expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millipied, has been blasted by political commentator Mike Huckabee for getting pregnant out of wedlock. The 29-year-old who won the Academy Award this year for her role as a troubled ballerina in the psychological thriller ‘Black Swan’, was criticised for being a wrong role model for young Americans, by the former Arkansas governor on a radio show, reported Contactmusic. The Fox news host said that the actress is portraying a distorted image of parenthood as unlike her many American single mothers cannot afford to raise a child alone. “One of the things that’s troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, ‘Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having these children, and they’re doing just fine,” Huckabee said on radio show hosted by Michael Medved. “But there aren’t really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie. And I think it gives a distorted image that yes, not everybody hires nannies, and caretakers, and nurses. Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care”. The Israel born actress is believed to be expecting a boy and is due to give birth this summer

Pregnant Alyssa Milano ‘kept awake by trips to the bathroom’


Alyssa Milano has revealed that her unborn baby is already keeping her up all night. Appearing at the premier of Hall Pass in Los Angeles on Wednesday, she explained to People, “I feel really good but I’m not sleeping great because of the many trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night. “So, I don’t know. I feel good, but if there’s a time I feel like I need to slow down, I will.” She added that choosing what to wear has become easier since falling pregnant. “I’m not as body conscious or concerned with the way I look,” she said. “It’s more about what’s going to be comfortable versus what looks flattering. It’s a whole different world that I’m enjoying a lot.” With her first trimester out of the way, she said that she is planning to start preparing for the baby soon. “Everyone says don’t do anything the first trimester, because God forbid something happens,” she said. “So, I haven’t really done anything. I’m going to New York to do a part in New Year’s Eve, and I’ll be back home in three weeks, so I figure I’ll start then.”
