Latest Gossip From Around the World

After seeing recent pictures of Kate Hudson and watching video interviews for Fool’s Gold, I am convinced that she’s pregnant. She hasn’t worn a form fitting outfit at all this month from what I’ve seen and her face is looking a little more filled out. I’m not bashing her for gaining a small amount of weight if that’s the case, but she really looks pregnant to me. If she’s not, she should wear outfits that don’t make her look pregnant.
We were guessing that she was pregnant when she showed up at the premiere of Fool’s Gold last week wearing an unfortunate loose blue dress with a giant assymetric ruffle. It was a case of a couture gown that didn’t translate well off the catwalk. Her dress ballooned at the stomach, and many people attributed the bump that was seen to the wind blowing out her dress. Kate was at Madonna’s Gucci Kabbalah fundraiser Wednesday night, but she didn’t pose for photos on the red carpet was only pictured leaving, again wearing a very loose pink dress
There are some candids of Kate out with her son, Ryder, earlier on Wednesday and she’s wearing a giant striped shirt and it really looks like she has a bump. (There are more photos from this series at PopSugar.)
Outside her appearance on The Late Show last night she wore a trenchcoat and it looks like it’s pushed out a bit in the right places. I’m waiting to see the video of her interview, but how much do you want to bet she wore a loose dress again? (Update: She really looks pregnant in the video, watch it below.)
There’s going to be a lot of guessing as to who the father might be as Kate has not been linked to anyone lately, except for a rumored fling with Justin Timberlake.
On January 31, Kate’s rep responded to our request for comment with an e-mail stating “Kate is not pregnant.”
Update: Thanks so much to Redlasso for this clip of Kate Hudson on The Late Show last night. Redlasso is this incredible new video service that lets you find almost any television clip almost as soon as it’s aired.
Her interview is cute as anything and she tells a lot of stories about the dangers she faced training for the underwater scenes in Fool’s Gold. Kate has such a vibrant and fun personality.
She is wearing a really loose dress with ruffled layers. We rest our case.

It’s been thought for a while that Jennifer Lopez, 38, might be pregnant with twins, and yesterday her father confirmed that J-Lo is doubly fertile. I thought she was pregnant with twins because she might have used IVF, which increases the likelihood of multiple births. But apparently twins run in the Lopez family.
The rumors are true, confirmed by no less a source than her father: Jennifer Lopez is expecting twins. And it isn’t even a Lopez family first.
“Yes, twins,” her dad David Lopez said in an interview on the Spanish-language show Escándalo TV, PEOPLE en Español reports. “The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing.”
For David Lopez, the news means double the excitement.
“I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years,” he said.

David Lopez says that he’s bought special azabache bracelets for the babies, which are a Puerto Rican tradition. The bracelets, make out of black stone, are supposed to protect the babies from the evil eye. Though considering J-Lo’s legendary diva behavior, I’m not sure the evil eye is the kids’ biggest concern.
Lopez has been spotted buying baby supplies for both a boy and a girl, which greatly increases our chances that we may be subjected to a Marc Anthony look alike. I swear to God, if there is a God, he will give them at least 90% of J-Lo’s genes. At least of the face genes. If one or both of those kids grow up to look like Marc Anthony, we’ll pretty much be able to end the debate about the existence of God. In less frightening news, Star reports that the couple plan on naming the babies Max and Emme. Well it’s no Pilot Inspektor (a la Jason Lee) but I suppose they’ll do.

Matthew McConaughey, 38, has been open and enthusiastic about the news that his girlfriend, 24 year-old Brazilian model Camila Alves, is pregnant. He made the announcement on his blog, (link has automatic music) saying “yes, my girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together… it’s 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far… we are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God.”
Celebrity Baby Blog has an interview up with Matt and his Fool’s Gold co-star Kate Hudson talking parenthood with Entertainment Tonight. Matt revealed that Camila is about five months along and said that they aren’t going to find out the sex of the baby ahead of time. He said he overheard the doctor referring to their baby as “he” and that he had to work not to jump to conclusions about it. As for how he’s going to handle fatherhood, Matt said that he’s heard that “whatever plans you make, throw them out the window,” but that he’s “got the instincts for it.”
In an question and answer section in this week’s In Touch, Matt revealed more about how he feels about the upcoming baby, and you have to admire the guy. He’s gung ho about it, and says that having a baby makes him feel younger. He said he’s looking forward to every day, and that he’s “absolutely” going to be changing diapers. One thing that made me smile, though, is how he answers the question about how his life is going to change by saying the kid will fit right in. He’s in for a wild ride:
Do you feel more like a grown-up now that you have a baby on the way?
I actually feel younger. Even with Camilla just being pregnant now, parenthood has begun. The way I think about the future has already shifted. There’s a lot more “we” instead of just “me” and that feels good.Do you expect your life will change much?
I think there are a lot of things you don’t change in your life when you have a child. The child has to come in and be a part of the life that you have…Will you be a disciplinarian?
It’s hard to imagine myself saying things like, “I’m not going to explain it again,” or my all-time favorite, “You better get back in bed, get up on the other side of it, and get back in this kitchen with a new attitude!” I better get prepared.
What are you most looking forward to?
Every single day.Will you be changing diapers?
Absolutely. I’ve been an uncle for a while, so I know a little bit about the art of diaper-changing. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze.

McConaughey said he’s not going to stop doing stunts for his movies just because he’s a dad, and said again that he’s not making any grand plans and will rely on his instincts when the baby arrives.
I love the quote he gave about how “You better get back in bed and get up on the other side!” You can imagine his mom saying that, and it’s funny as anything. His mom recently wrote on his journal: “Drinking from my saucer, because my cup is indeed overflowing with news of this new baby!”
McConaughey has a reputation as a mellow, friendly guy who can have some wild parties when he’s inclined, but who doesn’t get in trouble and keeps himself in check with a lot of exercise. He is getting accolades for his new clean-cute look, with a shorter hairstyle and a shave, and people think that his upcoming fatherhood has influenced him to clean up his appearance. He’s about to see how much life really can change when a child enters the picture, and he seems more than happy to accept the challenge.
Matthew and Camila are shown at the Fool’s Gold premiere on 1/30/08, thanks to PRPhotos.


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be staying quiet on the issue of whether a fuller-looking Angelina is pregnant, but they’re giving away some hints here and there. Reporters on the red carpet at the Santa Barbara film festival this weekend were instructed not to ask questions about Angelina’s rumored pregnancy. This week’s OK! Magazine says that little Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who turns two on May 27, is moving to a new big girl room in the couple’s Malibu mansion, and that she leaving her nursery, which Brad and Angelina are redecorating in shades of yellow. OK! has enough specific details about the new nursery to make it seem like they do have a source and aren’t just making this up:
Angelina and Brad have been preparing for a second biological baby by moving Shiloh into another bedroom and redecorating the nursery. They tore down the current nursery in their multimillion-dollar Malibu mansion, which has been the room of 20-month-old daughter Shiloh. “Brad made floor plans to give Shiloh a bedroom with her own canopy bed,” a friend of the actor tells OK! According to an insider, “Brad drafted plans to change the nursery, which was a very modern girl’s room. They wanted a muted yellow neutral palette so they could have a blank slate for the next addition.” They moved all of Shiloh’s princess drawings, toys and powder pink curtains to another room closer to Maddox, Zahara and Pax. Shiloh is growing up, and they wanted to give her her own first “big girl” bed.
The freshly-painted nursery now houses a brand-new crib. A Jolie Pitt insider confirms, “They got a new crib, and Brad wants to completely change the nursery.”

And contrary to the reports in the less reputable tabloid magazines that we love to devour, OK! doesn’t mention twins at all. They say that Brad and Angelina considered fertility drugs because this second pregnancy didn’t come as easily as the first, but that they decided to wait it out and were ultimately successful:
Shiloh’s birth was a piece of cake, but it took some old-fashioned practice to conceive their second natural-born baby. “Angelina was really upset that she couldn’t get pregnant,” a source close to the couple confides to OK! “She and Brad even discussed the possibility of fertility drugs, but they wanted to wait because they preferred not to have a multiple birth, and the changes of that were greater with fertility drugs.”
[From OK! Magazine, print edition, February 11, 2008]
Another detail that corroborates the “Angelina is Pregnant” rumor that is that Angelina is said to have ordered more of those maternity shirts that she wore all the time when she was pregnant with Shiloh.
OK! also says that Brad and Angelina want to have another girl to hang out with Shiloh before she gets too old to pal around with another sibling, but that Pax is hoping for a little brother.
I think the twins rumor originated with a post on paparazzi photo agency X17’s blog, which was picked up and spun into “invitro treatments to save marriage!” stories by a lot of the tabloids. The details on the fertility treatments were shaky, although it does seem likely that Angelina saw a nutritionist prior to getting pregnant as so many outlets have suggested.
She’s definitely looking pregnant, and we’ll have to see now how and when she choses to announce it. It is thought that she will make a decision to reveal her pregnancy with a high-paid exclusive interview and photo session with the proceeds going to charity. She made a $400,000 donation to Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti charity with the proceeds from her first pregnancy announcement. People bash Angelina for “pimping out her kids,” but she does good things with the money, and people want to see their pictures and read about them in the glossies.
Brad and Angelina are shown at the Santa Barbara Film Festival over the weekend, thanks to Splash, and the Screen Actors Guild awards on 1/27, thanks to PRPhotos.

Some of the possible details of Angelina Jolie’s (as yet not officially confirmed) pregnancy are in the new issue of the National Enquirer. The Enquirer is a little shaky on some of the specifics are a little shaky, but according to them Angelina agreed to have another biological child with Brad Pitt before they adopted again. This was mostly at his request. However due to her weight… or lack of weight… Angelina was unable to get pregnant. The Enquirer speculates that she was truly afraid Brad would leave her, and sought the help of an in vitro specialist.
“Brad and Angelina are absolutely thrilled, but Angelina is also very relieved,” sand an insider. “She always knew having twins was a possibility, because Brad’s sister had twins. But after trying for months to conceive naturally, she also began to fear that she’d never get pregnant again. That’s when she went to the specialist. She really believes that the new babies will finally put to rest the problems in their relationship.
…the tension between them eased after Angelina agreed to postpone another adoption to grant Brad’s wish to have another biological baby, continued the insider. “Then when she couldn’t’ get pregnant, Angelina worried that Brad might leave her. Brad really is committed to the family and wouldn’t dream of leaving his kids. but that didn’t stop Angelina from feeling insecure.”
[From the National Enquirer, February 11th 2008, print edition]
The Enquirer really loves the “Angelina is so paranoid/jealous/insecure” angle. I’m not sure I buy it. She doesn’t seem to be ridiculously desperate to keep a guy, and somehow I’ve always seen her as the one who wears the pants in that relationship. I would think that if she really is pregnant, she’s doing it because she wants to be, not just because Brad wants more biological kids.
The Enquirer goes on to speculate that getting pregnant has been beneficial for Angelina’s health.
It wasn’t very long ago that Angelina had lost so much weight that her friends and family were getting really worried about her health,” said the insider. “And her eating difficulties definitely played a part in her deciding to get some help in getting pregnant. As it turned out, it was the best thing she could have done. While Angelina hasn’t been looking after herself so well in the last year or so, she will do everything she can to care for her unborn babies, so her health is sure to benefit.”
[From the National Enquirer, February 11th 2008, print edition]
Everyone is always saying that Angelina Jolie is pregnant, but the speculation really hit a high note at the recent Screen Actor’s Guild awards, for which Angelina wore a long, flowing dress that would hide any bump. For the first time in ages, she actually had some curves on her body. She and Brad couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and looked happier than ever.
Looking happy and relaxed, Angelina stuck to water at the function [the Critics’ Choice Awards], while Brad drank beer and others at their table downed glasses of champagne. Around the same time, the “Tomb Raider” mom was spotted visiting the office of Dr. Jason Rothbart, who treated her during her first pregnancy and delivered baby Shiloh in Namibia 20 months ago.
[From the National Enquirer, February 11th 2008, print edition]
While the Enquirer talks about the in vitro like it’s a fact, it’s obviously rumor unless Angelina or Brad actually come out and say it. Lots of women experience fertility problems, so it is possible. But I’d say at this point it’s equally possible that Angie got pregnant the old fashioned way - especially considering that she and Brad have seemed so touchy and grabby lately. Either way, it’ll be fun to see if we get a confirmation soon.
