Stars pregnant with anticipation (DailyNews)
Instead of “Who are you wearing?” it seems that “When is the baby due?” has become the most burning question in Hollywood these days.
Jessica Alba just gave birth to her first child and Tori Spelling her second. Vin Diesel became a first-time dad and Nicole Kidman, Gillian Anderson, Ashlee Simpson and Minnie Driver are all in various stages of pregnancy. Heck, even such unlikely guys as Clay Aiken and David Spade are expectant fathers and celebutante Paris Hilton has been the subject of pregnancy rumors!
She may just be bloated.
Anyway, the pregnant star who has gotten the most attention is – no surprise – Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, pregnant with twins fathered by Brad Pitt, with whom she already has four children – three of whom were adopted.
A very pregnant Angelina braved the madness at the Cannes Film Festival last month to promote her films “Kung Fu Panda” and “The Changeling,” but has been keeping a low profile in France ever since.
“It’s all just so nice,” she told Entertainment Weekly in its current issue. “You just really can’t complain about anything as long as you know the babies are looking healthy. The only thing that’s hard for me now is with twins and having four kids, there’s a lot of the doctor saying, `Stop picking them up as much.’ But we’ve worked out a system where Brad just lifts them to me every time they want to come up.
I just don’t bend down. I’ll scream, `Honey!’ and he’ll come running and lift them up. Or they climb on chairs, so it’s not as big of a lift. So we’re trying to follow doctor’s orders, but I’m bending them a tiny bit.”So how will they handle being the parents of six kids under the age of 8?
“Well, we weren’t expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly,” she said. “But we like a challenge. We really don’t know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately, we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can. The only thing for us when a new child comes home is just balancing the others. Our real focus now is, How do we make sure that the babies’ coming is not upsetting to other kids and makes them feel included. … Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they’re at.”
Swayze ready for series work
It’s so awfully good to hear that Patrick Swayze, currently being treated for pancreatic cancer, is well enough to go back to work.
The star of such films as “Dirty Dancing,” “Ghost” and “Point Break” is planning to begin filming the A&E drama “The Beast,” which casts him as an FBI agent. He had already filmed the pilot before his cancer diagnosis. He will continue to be treated for the cancer during the filming. He said in a statement to People mag: “I can’t wait to get to work on this.”
The series is set to air early next year.
