			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Fergie, who spent her new year&#8217;s eve at the grand opening of the Mirage&#8217;s 1 OAK in Las Vegas, enclosed there being a possibility of pregnancy.</p>
<p>At the prompting of <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/03/showbiz/celebrity-news-gossip/fergie-baby-possibility-ppl/index.html" target="_blank">PEOPLE</a>, Fergie said “Maybe, who knows?” but expressed the desire to spend time with her husband of almost three years, Josh Duhamel. She said “I want to spend time with my husband, watch football, watch basketball. I&#8217;m going where the day takes me &#8212; having days where I have no schedule. That&#8217;s going to be nice and refreshing for me &#8230; a definite change”.</p>
<p>Fergie certainly had a busy 2011, from appearing in Dr. Pepper Cherry commercials to the unveiling of her wax replica a la Madame Tussard in Las Vegas.</p>

<blockquote>“My pregnancy has been an interesting ride so far. I was warned about the sickness, exhaustion, sore breasts, and need for sleep. What I wasn’t warned about was the sadness. Because of my nausea and fatigue, I found myself saying “no” to almost every social invitation I received. I hibernated in my house, feeling lonely and frustrated that I didn’t feel more like myself. I am an extremely social person. One of my favorite things to do is throw big parties at my house, or hang out with friends. All of those qualities left me during my first trimester. I would hang out with a few good friends and was forced to leave after an hour because I became so tired. I threw a B-B-Q for my husband and found myself crying in the bathroom about two hours in from sheer exhaustion.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Patti Stanger <a href="http://popbytes.com/huffpo?entryid=935066">failed again</a>.  One of the famous matchmaker&#8217;s millionaires dumped his pregnant girlfriend just four months after the birth of their son, after the pair met on Stanger&#8217;s show &#8220;The Millionaire Matchmaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>Access Hollywood reporter Laura Saltman thought the Millionaire was the right one for her, but as soon as she got pregnant he was in and out of her life, according to popbytes.com.</p>
<p>“We dated about four months before I found out I was pregnant,” Saltman told Popbytes. “He was in and out of my life during my pregnancy, choosing not to tell anyone about our son until after he was born. I felt like a teen mom at 39 years old.”</p>
<p>The pair got back together immediately after their son was born, but the Millionaire disappeared shortly after when Saltman learned he had been in contact with his former fiancée.</p>
<p>Now, Saltman is left battling with her ex over child support and custody, all while raising a newborn.</p>
<p>“I’m a working mom, shouldering 90 percent of the financial responsibility,” Saltman tells me. “He’s paying virtually nothing, yet he acts like it’s going to bankrupt him. I don’t think a guy who paid that much to get dates is hurting for money.”</p>
<p>Stanger charges a hefty sum, which Saltman believes to be more than $20,000. to join her club.</p>
<p>Stanger told Saltman to get a lawyer immediately, and then proceeded to scold her for not using birth control, in true Stanger style.</p>
<p>“She told me to get a lawyer pronto and of course, being Patti, yelled at me for not using birth control. At least I followed her rule about being in a monogamous relationship. But her screening process leaves a lot to be desired,&#8221; said Saltman.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>According to People, Christina Applegate, 39, gave birth to a baby girl. Applegate and Martyn LeNoble, 41, became engaged last Valentine&#8217;s Day after a 3-year relationship. The pregnancy was announced last July.</p>
<p>Her rep.,  Ame Van Iden said in a statement, “Actress Christina Applegate and fiancé, musician Martyn LeNoble, welcomed daughter Sadie Grace LeNoble on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011 in Los Angeles. Mother and daughter are doing great.” </p>
<p>Applegate told people in August, “I&#8217;ll probably be a little bit hippie and a little bit Type A. I&#8217;ll take from what my mother did, which was way hippie and like, ‘Do what you wanna do,’ and bring some things that I know from watching my friends raise their kids. An amalgamation of sorts.”</p>
<p>Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and had a double mastectomy, followed by reconstructive surgery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Yes, it is official. Even though Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey’s husband, was always denying the rumors, he finally said on his 92.3 Rollin&#8217; With Nick Cannon radio show Thursday morning, “We are having twins.”</p>
<p>And he revealed the main reason why he suddenly ended up admitting the rumors.</p>
<p>He talked about some unexpected story that while performing at TNT&#8217;s Christmas in Washington 2010 on Sunday, Carey ran into President Barak Obama and first lady Michelle Obama backstage. Cannon said on the raido, “They, ironically enough, questioned my wife about, you know, ‘So, what are you having, are you having twins?’And at this point she hadn&#8217;t told anybody anything because doctors advised us to keep it to ourselves until we get further along. And because of the excitement, because of the emotion, she was overwhelmed (and) she shared with the president and first lady that we are having twins.”</p>
<p>So, obviously everyone was very curious about their babies.</p>

<p>DeGeneres also tweeted tonight, “Pink is on the show tomorrow. Does she have big news? Baby. Did I say baby? I meant maybe. I just love her!” </p>
<p>Considering why Pink did not publicly admit that she was pregnant at first, she said, “I didn&#8217;t want to talk about it because I was just really nervous and I have had a miscarriage before.” Additionally, she explained that it (pregnancy) was planned and it worked out. </p>

<p>&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not true. Not right now. I&#8217;m looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have five or six grandchildren,&#8221; she said. “I heard that, but I&#8217;m here to clear the rumors up. The truth is that it&#8217;s not Beyoncé that&#8217;s pregnant, it&#8217;s me. I&#8217;m kidding ya&#8217;ll. I&#8217;m 56.”</p>
<p>OK, so what is the truth?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>At least, according to some outlets! “Single Ladies” singer Beyoncé Knowles and her “Empire State of Mind” rapper husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child, US Weekly magazine reported on Wednesday.</p>
<p>According to the magazine, the 29-year-old R&amp;B diva was surprised to learn she is in her first trimester of the pregnancy. She wanted to finish another album but was overjoyed, sources told the mag.</p>
<p>Beyoncé&#8217;s younger sister, Solange, who has a six-year-old child, said, “She&#8217;s got the most beautiful heart. She&#8217;ll be a great mom.”</p>
<p>As the one of music&#8217;s most influential and wealthy couple, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 40, were married in a secretive ceremony in New York in 2008.</p>
<p>The rapper is set to release a memoir in November called “Decoded,” while Beyoncé earlier this year completed a world tour promoting her 2008 hit studio album, &#8220;I am&#8230;Sasha Fierce.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[New Hampshire woman turns pregnancy into a body of art]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pregnant1.jpg" rel="lightbox[42915]" title="pregnant1"><img src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pregnant1-265x300.jpg" alt="" title="pregnant1" width="265" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-42916" /></a>Paola Dias&#8217; pregnancy resulted not only in the beginning of a beautiful new life but also the birth of a successful new business. She and her husband, Mike, moved from Northern California to bucolic New Hampshire recently. </p>
<p>&quot;We live on a farm in a rural area,&quot; Dias said. &quot;There aren&#8217;t a lot of jobs here, you kind of have to create your own. It&#8217;s a place where you just get really imaginative.&quot;  </p>
<p>When Paola found out she was expecting, opportunity came knocking, organically. With the original goal of tracking the growth and shape of his wife&#8217;s belly month-to-month, Mike started tracing her bump against the wall, like parents do with their children to track their height. Both Paola and Mike grew up in creative families; Paola paints and Mike&#8217;s mother is an artist. For these two parents-to-be, pencil wasn&#8217;t enough.  </p>
<p>&quot;Tons&quot; of art supplies made the trek with them across country and so they began to utilize what they had around the house and kept the creative juices flowing. &quot;First of all, we started to make a mess,&quot; Paola laughed. But with some Japanese &quot;shumi&quot; ink that they had, what was created was &quot;â€¦so beautiful, it was this graceful outline.&quot; They then experimented with ground earth ochres mixed with water, which produced vibrant colors. Calligraphy brushes painted polished lines.  </p>
<p>Paola wasn&#8217;t particularly fond of the idea of her nude body decorating their home, so baby belly photographs weren&#8217;t an option. </p>
<p>&quot;I wanted something I could frame and put in my baby nursery or around the house, something more subtle,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So we decided to pursue it.&quot; The couple realized that the quality of their supplies was directly linked to the beauty in the product, so they ordered paper from Thailand, all-natural ochres, and calligraphy brushes.  </p>
<p>Paola and Mike were so thrilled by their results that they decided to design some &quot;kits&quot; for some friends who were also expecting. </p>
<p>&quot;We put them together because we thought we had come up with a great idea.&quot; Eventually, people they didn&#8217;t even know were asking for kits and the Dias&#8217; realized they had stumbled upon something beautiful, with just a bit of creativity and some household supplies.  </p>
<p>Not exactly the next Picasso? Doesn&#8217;t make a difference, according to Paola. &quot;It&#8217;s really easy,&quot; she said. People who have never done it before paint amazingly and each woman expresses her creativity differently. &quot;It was so great to see it with other people; they all have the same reaction, like â€˜Oh my gosh, that is my body.&#8217;&quot;  </p>
<p>Not only does &quot;Art Bellies,&quot; the official name of Paola and Mike Dias&#8217; business, give you a tangible and visible memory of your pregnant belly, the physical act of creating the art enables the expectant mother to be more open and at peace with her body. </p>
<p>&quot;When parents find out they are having a baby, everyone rushes out to buy stuff, not many people create,&#8221; Dias said. &#8220;It&#8217;s nice to slow down, be more mindful and love your body. It gets you grounded with your body. That&#8217;s something that is really joyful for us to see.&quot;  </p>

<p>Art Bellies kits have been a success as a baby shower gift and/or game. Dias said women love to help each other create a beautiful outline of their bellies. A lot of parents, after the baby is born, stamp the baby&#8217;s footprint on the belly sketch, which makes for a special keepsake. Paola has seen women display the prints in offices, nurseries, and living rooms. They even had some silhouettes on display in the maternity ward of a New Hampshire hospital. One of the OB/GYN doctors loved them so much he took one home for his office.  </p>
<p>Paola and Mike Dias are very optimistic about the future. Having started the business during one of the toughest economic times this country has seen in years, they feel fortunate to have created a business from simply doing something they love. They hope to expand Art Bellies as any small business might grow, focusing on the here and now.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re currently working on the packaging, making it more retail specific. Each Art Bellies kit comes with one white handmade paper, a color paper of choice that goes with the elements (air, earth, fire, water), all made of recyclable material, as well as the calligraphy brushes and ochres.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Britney Spears will have another baby in her life, and it will make her an auntie. Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney´s 16-year-old sister, is pregnant. The star of Nickelodeon´s Zoey 101 show confirmed the news to a celebrity magazine which hits stands Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was in complete and total shock and so was he.&#8221;</p>
<p>The father is Spears boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, a 19-year old actor with whom she lived during the summer. Spears is 12 weeks pregnant and learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and a subsequent doctor visit.</p>
<p>The teen star told the magazine that she kept the news to herself to, &quot;work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone&#8217;s opinion affect my decision.&quot; After taking two weeks to herself and thinking over her decision, Spears told her mother, Lynne, before Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Spears says that at first her family was &quot;very upset,&quot; but that after digesting the news they became supportive.  Spears and Aldridge began dating in high school and had reportedly known each other for years.  The mother-to-be plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana, &#8220;so it can have a normal family life.&#8221;</p>
<p>The news of the pregnancy came as a shock to show producers and family members alike, specially since Spears is seemingly a tame celebrity. Nickelodeon released a statement saying they respected the star&#8217;s decision to take responsibility for her situation, claiming their primary concern is that of Spears&#8217; well being.</p>
<p>Zoey 101 will conclude its third season this January. The show will end with a dilemma where Zoey (Spears) must decide to leave Pacific Coast Academy or move to London with her parents. Producers said filming for the fourth season had already been completed.</p>
<p>Now in the shoes of her older sister, Spears has had to realize that every action has a consequence. When asked about premarital sex she says teens are better off waiting.</p>
<p>&#8220;I definitely don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s something you should do; it&#8217;s better to wait,&#8221; she told the magazine. &#8220;But I can&#8217;t be judgmental because it&#8217;s a position I put myself in.&#8221;</p>
