Lamar Odom addresses the State of Khloe’s Womb

Aug 5, 2010 | Filed Under: Celebrities,Pop Culture | Tags: Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom understand that the world wakes up every morning wondering, My gawd, have Khloe and Lamar conceived yet?  I MUST KNOW! — which explains they cannot stop talking to the tabloids about how they are not pregnant.

During their most recent stop on the We Are Trying to Get Pregnant tabloid tour, Lamar told Us Weekly (once again) that — you guessed it — they are trying to get pregnant!

“When you’re married you’re supposed to try for kids,” Lamar said.

Somewhere my happily childless married friends are exclaiming, “Say wha –?!”

However, I’m thrilled to report there is a new update on their We Are Trying to Get Pregnant tabloid tour:  Khloe and Lamar already have a baby name picked out.

“Boy, it would be Luke Joseph. The girl is on her,” Lamar shared to the delight of their tour followers.

Also, when will it happen?  Do tell, Lamar!  “As soon as possible, I would think. I still want to be young when my kids are young.”  He is dad to Destiny, 12, and Lamar Jr., 8, with ex-wife Liza Morales.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update, when they unveil Khloe’s ovulation schedule and preferred sex positions in OK! magazine.

Gisele Bundchen’s Pearl of Parenting Wisdom of the Day

Aug 4, 2010 | Filed Under: Celebrities,Pop Culture | Tags: Gisele Bundchen, Pearls of Wisdom

“Some people here [in the U.S.] think they don’t have to breastfeed, and I think ‘Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?’  . . . I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months.”

–Model, potty trainer extraordinaire and breastfeeding lawmaker Gisele Bundchen to Harper’s Bazaar

Quote of the Day: Emma Thompson

“I don’t want your readers ever to think they have to have it all. I think that’s a revolting concept. It’s so false!  . . . Sometimes you’ll have some things, and sometimes you’ll have other things. And you do not need it all at once; it’s not good for you. . . You can’t be a great mum and work the whole time necessarily; those two things aren’t ideal.”

–Emma Thompson, 51, aqua-footed mum to a 10-year-old daughter and 23-year-old son, chatting to Good Housekeeping about mummyhood

Let the “Married with Children” Puns Ensue…

… Because Christina Applegate is pregnant.  Her fiance, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, is the lucky daddy-to-be.

Some welcome good news, I’m sure, after Martyn, 41, helped 38-year-old Christina recover from a double mastectomy — yikes — and the less life-altering-yet-nonetheless-tragic cancellation of her fun show Samantha Who? (even Mr. Candy was a closet fan) last year.

Congrats, you crazy kids!  And if that music career should ever fizzle, Martyn, you could always pursue an acting career playing the bad-ass European spy opposite Angelina Jolie in her next action flick.  You’ve got The Look, man.

Southern Celebrity North Carolina Pageant

:01 – Proud mama, April, tells us she has “passed [her] pageant torch” to three-year-old daughter Aniston.  “Show me how you shake your hiney,” instructs Aniston’s mom.  “I will do it REAL hard,” promises little Aniston.

Quote of the Day: Gisele Bündchen

Jun 27, 2010 | Filed Under: Celebrities | Tags: Celebrities Are Wise, Gisele Bundchen

“Give it about five minutes, and bang.”

– Gisele Bündchen on her SIX-MONTH-OLD son, Benjamin, being potty-trained and doing his business on the toilet immediately after breast-feeding every morning and afternoon (which she is pushing because “diapers pollute the environment”).  This, from the woman who also boasts that she gained only a minimal amount of pregnancy weight, had a pain-free natural childbirth and has a baby who “never” cries.
