Why are people giving Mila Kunis a hard time about her interviews?

“Leave Mila Alone!”
Star-Ledger reporter Stephen Whitty had some not-so-nice things to say about a recent 25 minute telephone interview he had with mom-to-be Mila Kunis while she was promoting her latest project, Third Person.
According to Whitty, Kunis assumed when he asked her in the beginning of the interview how she was feeling, he was referring to her pregnancy. The question led her to quickly shut him down, “I don’t talk about that for publication.” And it went downhill from there, he says.
The Philly Tribune summarized:

“Every question I ask over the next 25 minutes seems to strike her as either dull, insulting or burdened by some sort of agenda,” he writes. 

Kunis appears less than impressed with the questions that follow – from her immigration to the United States as a child (“It’s the most mundane subject possible”) to her string of dramatic roles (“People have this misconception that comedy’s easy”). Then they touched on what made her take up acting in the first place (“There was nothing else to it. I don’t know if that’s the answer you’re fishing for.”) Ouch.

Some lay blame on the snippy interview on pregnancy hormones and another on the fact that there was another quasi-unflattering Marie Claire  interview that released that same day as the Whitty interview.
Which reminds us that the Jupiter Ascending star who is expecting her first child with fiance Ashton Kutcher did reveal to loving her new boobs in that Marie Claire piece. 
“They’ve tripled in size. I was a 34A; now I’m a 36C. I’m so excited! I’m telling everyone I know, ‘Go ahead, touch them!’ Without being an asshole, I have to say, I love being pregnant,” she mused.
About the type of children she wanted to raise, she said, “I just don’t want my kids to be assholes. I feel like so many kids nowadays are. Both of us just want to have well-behaved, honest, nice children who people meet and say, ‘That’s a good kid.'”
Perfect answers if you ask us!

PRESS PLAY!!

 Again, Leave Mila ALONE! ha!

Cool and Congrats if true!

Court-ordered Forced C-Section in London stir controversy

This week, London officials had their courts force an Italian woman living temporarily in that country to have a C-section delivery of her child even after she expressed fear of labor and delivery. 
The decision by a British Court of Protection declared the woman was suffering delusions and under Britain’s Mental Health Act was ordered to deliver her baby via C-Section at a Hospital in Essex, east of London.
News reports say the mom of 4 was deathly afraid of hospitals and surgically-assisted child birth and had her children’s father deliver her last child using barbecue tongs at home.  Officials are coming under fire for taking the baby away from the woman instead of leaving it in the custody of the grandmother. The father of the child is a Senagalese man living in London who has not been involved. 
Investigations continue as to why an Italian woman was forced to stay in London for 6 weeks and then forced to give birth, USA Today  reports.
Last month, a Daily Beast piece discussed the case of a New York woman and mother of three who was “forced” to have a C-Section delivery of her 4th child without prior consultation and over her objection.1  
It all leads to new questions about a woman’s right to control her body over the safety and rights of the fetus she is carrying. Also, there is new questioning, also under the light of new US Supreme Court cases about women’s access to employer-funded health insurance, about contraception.
What are your thoughts on these cases?

5 Essentials for a Maternity Wardrobe

You are pregnant, and starting to show.  The urge to run off to buy those adorable baby clothes, that have been beckoning you since the day you thought about starting your family, is hitting you.  But before you pick up that beautiful little baby hat, it is time to think about you and your new figure.  Which means that now is the right time to begin buying your maternity wardrobe.  UGH! The thought of buying elastic waist bands and oversized shirts and pants does not seem very exciting.  I remember putting on my first pair of maternity pants when I was only 4 months along.  At that time I thought, “These are Huge!  I will never be this BIG!” Oh how I was wrong, when 7 months rolled around, I wasn’t able to even fit in those pants that were supposedly too BIG.  

I found this advice later in my pregnancy and now I am going to pass along the tried and true methods of maternity fashion of all the celebrity moms.  First off before you start piecing together your maternity fashion finds, begin with these five essentials –
Dark Wash Jeans
Maternity jeans have come a long way from the baggy, bulky things of the past. Today’s jeans are made with shape and style to get you through your pregnancy. Look for jeans with a dark wash and a straight leg or bootcut to help minimize your widening hips. Skip the mom jeans that come up over your entire stomach, instead find jeans that will hit you just above your hips for a flattering look. Remember, you will also wear these jeans after your baby is born while your body readjusts, so choose a pair or two that will look great no matter what.


Maxi Dress
A long, maxi dress looks great on pregnancy curves and is so comfortable to wear. Choose a long dress in a neutral, solid color that will look good no matter what. You can mix it up with a bold sweater, bright jewelry, or a funky diaper bag to get lots of wear out of your dress. A flowing maxi dress will also be very forgiving to your shape post-baby.


Empire Waist Tops
The empire waist top is perfect for pregnancy. The flowing look of these tops show off a growing pregnant belly at all the stages. You can wear them with basic jeans or more dressy maternity slacks for a look that fits in any occasion. The shape of these tops also makes them very flattering on the bust as it grows and changes during pregnancy.  One of the great benefits of the empire waist is that it stays in style and is very flattering for your recovering post-baby figure.


Elastic Waist Skirts
Skirts with stretchy elastic bands are a definite must-have for pregnancy. They are comfortable to wear no matter how big you feel, and the stretchy waist means no need to buy new skirts every other month. Grab a few skirts in various colors that will work well with any top.  



Nursing Bras
Pregnancy can do a number on your breasts, making them feel uncomfortable in regular bras. Nursing bras are designed to be softer, stretchier,weight bearing with comfortable straps and much easier for tender and growing breasts. Even if you are not yet sure about breastfeeding, stocking up on nursing bras is still an essential for your maternity wardrobe. These will help reduce your back strain from the increasing load on the front.  This bra will be your mainstay of your wardrobe throughout your nine months and even beyond, so consider the quality that can last for at least two years for each pregnancy.
Now that your maternity wardrobe is planned and ready, you can go back to thinking about the world of flowered baby headbands, layettes, and nursery decor.

Savannah Guthrie on pregnancy weight gain: We don’t need another heaping of guilt

Yesterday, we got into celebrities who manage to remain pretty skinny even while pregnant and their role in contributing  to an unhealthy trend of pregorexia – women who purposefully starve themselves so not to gain too much weight.
In TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie‘s blog, she addressed the stress of gaining too much weight while pregnant and shared how she found herself teetering on “the Pregnancy Weight Gain Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Gain More than 25-30 pounds during pregnancy.”
But through her piece, she talks about coming to a resolution with herself that the pressure is overwhelming and too stressful.  It helps that her OB/GYN told her to not sweat the guidelines too much! Yahoo! Anyway, in her blog, Guthrie writes:

I know we shouldn’t pile on the pounds during pregnancy. It isn’t healthy, and we don’t want to dig a weight gain hole so deep we can’t Jazzercise our way out of it. But let’s keep it in perspective. It is just a recommendation. If we look and feel healthy, can’t we give ourselves a break?

At this stage of pregnancy, the average baby weighs 2-3 pounds. The other 28 pounds is boobs, clearly, and who knows what else: blood and fluid and placenta and what have you. You know what we don’t need? Another big heaping serving of guilt weighing us down.

Agreed! Amen!

30 Blogs with Family Photos organization tips

Whether you’re a traditionalist with piles of photographs or a tech-savvy fiend with a penchant for capturing special moments digitally, it’s easy to amass a collection of images that’s downright overwhelming in size.

Once you’ve cleaned out your photos you’ll be able to store them in a more suitable manner.

Photo Boxes
Hastily stuffing printed or developed photos into a shoe box isn’t an entirely effective organizational method. There are, however, dedicated boxes designed specifically for photograph storage. Utilizing these can make it easier for you to manage prints when you’ve thrown out the ones you don’t actually want, but still have far too many on your hands. These five blogs help you to sort, organize and manage your photos by using photo boxes to get the job done.

These five blog entries offer advice for halting the degradation of your cherished memories and pointers on how to properly store them in order to prevent future damage.
Happy Memory Preserving!

Celebrities who were cheated on while pregnant

Sadly, the rumor mill is reporting that Hank Baskett Jr may have cheated on our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Kendra Wilkinson while she was carrying the couple’s second child.  They initially denied the reports until the woman (who happens to also be transgendered) who claims to have had a torrid ongoing affair with Baskett kept giving interviews that revealed some intimate details and Wilkinson allegedly discovered credit card charges for meals with two persons that her hubby could not explain, according to web reports.

This week, Perez Hilton‘s parenting site Perezitos featured a gallery of 11 celebrity  women whose partners or spouses allegedly cheated on them while pregnant. We saw some of the women from on our 2010 post about 6 celebs who broke up before their baby was born on the list and noted it missed Brit personality Katie Price, who we blogged about last week.

Price told a British talk show that she felt her husband Kieran Hayler cheated on her because she gained too much weight while pregnant.

Yikes!

Anyway, we’d add to Perez’s gallery which includes Lauryn Hill (Rohan Marley), Nivea and Lauren London (both by  Lil Wayne), Christina Milian (The Dream), Kelis (Nas), Shar Jackson  (by Kevin Federline) ,Heidi Klum (by Flavio Briatore), Bridget Moynahan (Tom Brady), Mary Louise Parker  (Billy Crudup) and Wendy Williams (Kevin Hunter).

Add from our post: Alexis Knapp who may have been cheated on by Ryan Phillipe while she was pregnant with their child; Ginny Barber who was pregnant with Tiki Barber‘s twins when the two broke up, allegedly because he was cheating on her; and January Jones who may have been cheated on by her son Xander’s dad – whoever that is, possibly Jason Sudekis or Ashton Kutcher. 





Generally, most men stick by their women’s side while she is carrying their child but not all area able to stay faithful during a time when his woman may not be in the mood to have sex,  may experience a change in her body she may not like and embrace; and may just be bitchy to her dude. The strongest can sustain their love and relationship through it all.

Study: Working Moms’ kids come out same as kids of stay-at-home moms

Phew! A recent study reveals that children of working mothers born since the mid-1990s are not different in behavior or social skills than children of stay-at-home moms.
The University of London Centre for Longitudinal Study found that changes in maternity leave, greater availability of quality childcare and flexible work hours make it easier for mothers to have balance.
Further, Pew Research data notes that although women work more outside the home than 50 years ago, they still spend more time with their children that moms from the 1960s, and twice as much as fathers today. 
“Look at the things your child is getting because you work: They’re getting a role model; they’re getting exposure to other environments and other care-givers; they’re getting the confidence that they will be OK without their mom being there every single second of the day,” Bethesda, Maryland pediatrician Dana Kornfeld told WTOP.com.
So there you have, it ladies. No need to feel guilty about having to go out to bring home the bacon. Your kids will be and are fine.
