What’s with all the over-50 celebs and the pregnancy/birth announcements recently? Here are two more exhausted granddads to add to the tally …
Hugh’s a daddy again
Hot on the heels of mature-age daddy revelations from Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, Hugh Grant, 52, has announced the birth of a second child with a woman he once described as “a fleeting affair”.
Hugh briefly dated actress Tinglan Hong before the birth of their first child, Tabitha, in 2011. It’s not known whether the pair are in a more serious relationship now that they’ve had a second child, a son reportedly named Felix Chang.
Hugh made the announced via Twitter on Saturday: “In answer to some [journalists], I am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum.”
“And to be crystal clear,” he added, “I am the daddy.”
Bryan’s a dad again at 53
Rocker Bryan Adams is a dad again too.
“Bryan Adams and Alicia Grimaldi welcomed their second baby girl in London earlier this week,” his rep revealed.
The bub is called Lula Rosylea and joins big sister Bunny, 22 months.
“Lula Rosylea decided to arrive at tea time,” Bryan explained on Twitter. “Rosylea is cockney rhyming slang in London for ‘cup of tea’ and the name Lula comes from Gene Vincent‘s song ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula.’”
Alec’s baby talk
Alec Baldwin has revealed how he found out his wife, Hilaria was expecting their first child. He told Extra: “There was a scream I heard, which is the scream that’s normally reserved if there was a spider in the house.”
He also discussed his wife’s pregnancy cravings: “She was eating troughs of pineapple. I mean like tanker containers of pineapple.”
Meanwhile, Hilaria has confessed she’s planning future pregnancies already: “I want to have at least one of each, so whatever this is going to be, I want to have the next one [be the opposite sex].”
Brad’s anti-romantic gift to Ange
Brad Pitt gave Angelina Jolie breath mints for Valentine’s Day.
To be precise, he handed her Eat Whatever, a breath-freshening product that includes one swallowable gel cap and a mint to suck on.
“It is sort of a joke – and not,” a source close to the superstar couple tells Us Weekly of the vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free product. “He always teases her that she has bad breath.”
Ha, ha … no, not getting it.
Rihanna’s envy … and green roses
Sarah’s scary cover
Eeeek, Sarah Jessica Parker looks terrifying on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar China.
Blue Ivy is such a cutie!
Here’s a still of Beyonce holding Blue Ivy from the HBO documentary Life Is But a Dream. And isn’t she adorable?
When she appeared on the screen at the premiere of Life Is But a Dream at New York’s Ziegfeld Theater over the weekend, the crowd apparently gasped and then let out a collective “aww.”
Jezebel writes: “Is she more Jay? Or is she Bey? I’m not really sure why you’re bothering to ask, because OBVIOUSLY a mad scientist has hit Jay-Z with a shrink ray and he’s probably riding around on an ant right now. Somebody get Rick Moranis on the phone.
Torvill snogged Dean!
When I was a kid I was transfixed by Torvill and Dean skating to Ravel’s Bolero. So I’m titilated to hear they had a snog on the back of a bus while on a trip to a skating event.
Christopher Dean has confessed: “We were on a coach and we had a little dabble.”
Jayne Torvill had previously claimed that they banned themselves from hooking up in case it damaged their partnership. “We decided very early on that if we had slept together we couldn’t have skated,” she said.
Brendan’s a deadbeat dad
The New York Post reports that Brendan Fraser is trying to weasel out of child support payments to his ex-wife and three sons. He reckons he couldn’t find work after The Mummy movies and is suffering financially.
“In Connecticut court last week, Fraser’s ex, Afton Smith, 45, accused the 44-year-old star of “fraud” for making the claim while allegedly hiding $9 million in new film contracts when they settled their divorce in February 2009.
“The allegation came after Fraser went to court to try to reduce the $900,000 in alimony and child support he annually pays his 45-year-old ex-wife, insisting he no longer earns enough to justify that amount.
“Afton’s lawyer noted that, as of December, the actor had $24.7 million in assets.”
Mariska is a marvel
Mariska Hargitay has a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude to her body for a Hollywood star.
“I love my curves because they scream, ‘I’m a mama!’ ” the actress tells the latest issue of Ladies Home Journal. “I’m the girl who started wearing maternity pants about an hour after I found out I was pregnant because I was so excited about becoming a mom.”
She also insists she’s fine with not having a perfect body.
“Things are sagging a bit – I’m not going to lie,” she says. “But am I going to be upset about the sag or am I going to look at my three gorgeous kids and my husband and count my lucky stars? I try to focus on who I am rather than who I’m not.”
Josh’s little chickadees
Katherine Heigl‘s musician husband Josh Kelley shared the cutest pic with fans on Instagram over the weekend. He’s pictured on the couch between their adopted daughters Naliegh, 4, and baby Adalaide Marie Hope.
“I love my little chickadee’s,” he wrote. “Everyone keeps saying it goes by so fast so I’m gonna soak it up!”
