VH1‘s Love and Hip Hop star Amina Buddafly announced she is expecting to deliver in July and recently looked super  cute in a periwinkle colored sleeveless bump-hugging dress while attending the Hollywood movie premiere of Meet the Blacks recently at the ArcLight theater earlier in the month.

Buddafly, who is married to show co-star “Peter Gunz” Pankey, announced the baby’s gender on Instagram.

“Everyone asking me about maternity pics. I’m just over half way there I got a long way to go,” she captioned a photo. “#julybaby” like big sister Cori.

The songstress recently had a gig and wore a flowing maxi dress which complemented her well. She also shared a clip from the performance, singing a tune from her latest album.

But first… Some #ivypark shopping

How TV Shows Hide Castmembers’ Pregnancies

6WalkingDead5.11

While watching the B-season of the AMC hit show The Walking Dead, my husband pointed to a scene with Alanna Masterson where lots of chairs and other objects were strategically placed in front of her belly. It made us chuckle.

We knew she was pregnant with her first child during filming and you could see a little bit of extra weight on her face and we noticed the costume designer kept her in this oversized grey sweatshirt for most of her scenes.

During a taping of The Talking Dead, the new mom talked about the strategy of hiding her bump. She was grateful for not blowing up so she could be hidden but hilariously describes waddling onto set at 9 months pregnant for filming. ha!

It reminded me of all those scenes during Scandal with the producers of that show trying to conceal Kerry Washington‘s pregnancy after it was decided to not write in a pregnancy in the script. It was the subject of many hilarious blog articles like this one by TV Guide!

TV Over Mind did a round up of a few other scenes from various TV shows where the crew and directors had to be creative to conceal a main cast members’ pregnancy.

Alos, Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother, her  character Robin was covered up with large clothing and scenes with her mainly  sitting at the bar drinking with her friends.

Her co-star Alyson Hannigan‘s pregnancy was hidden with things like basketballs and weight gain explained away by her entering a hot dog eating contest. Funny Stuff!

 

Megan Fox’s surprise Baby Bump was the Buzz at CinemaCon

 

It’s Baby number 3 for Teenage Mutant Turtle: Out of the Shadows star Megan Fox. 

PEOPLE magazine has confirmed that the gorgeous actress who had two children with her estranged husband Brian Austin Greene is expecting again. 

Before it became official, Fox caused a stir in social media when photos of her at CinemaCon on Monday, April 11th made the rounds. A very visible baby bump was apparent on the black Versace dress under a cropped leather  jacket she wore to the event. 

Fox is already a parent to sons 3/year old Noah  and 2-year old Bodhi with Green. 

The Transformers movie alum filed to divorce Green last Summer. They had been together for 11 years and married for 5.

The two, who remain good friends, have been spotted out and about together recently so it could be a baby reunion of the marriage. Who knows. It’s all speculation at this point. 

Congrats to her! We consider all babies blessings here at Bellyitch. 

Signs You’re Old: You Know None of Young Hollywood at the MTV Movie Awards

charlize theron 2

Well…it looks like I am officially old! I was checking out the red carpet coverage to last night’s 2016 MTV Movie Awards at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California and realized I recognized quite a few of young Hollywood. I mean they all looked amaze balls, many in black, looking svelte, youthful and vibrant. But other than a few “it” models, I was drawing a blank. * le sigh *

In fact, the only Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum on display was actress Charlize Theron, who also looked gorge in a black lace Alexander McQueen dress in Jimmy Choo shoes. She accented the look with Solange Azagury-Partridge jewels.

GET THE LOOK!

 

The mom to two won the golden popcorn for Best Female Performance.

I thought it was wonderful that Academy Award-winning actress dedicated her win to her daughter who she adopted last Summer.

The Mad Max: Fury Road star  also mentioned her son too in her acceptance speech.

“I want to thank my beautiful son Jackson, for putting a smile on my face every day,” the Mad Max: Fury Road star and mother of two said while accepting Best Female Performance. “He was with me when I made this film.”

Sweet!

Beyonce Talks ‘Pain of Child Birth’ in Elle Magazine

beyonce elle magazine

There’s a lot of buzz over Beyonce‘s recent Elle magazine cover interview because she addressed a lot of controversial topics in it. We noticed that she also talked a bit about the pain of childbirth and the meaning of delivering her now 4-year old daughter Blue Ivy.

“Everyone experiences pain, but sometimes you need to be uncomfortable to transform.” the “Formation” singer said. “Pain is not pretty, but I wasn’t able to hold my daughter in my arms until I experienced the pain of childbirth.”

This is not the first time the multi-platinum and multi-Grammy Award winning singer has talked about motherhood.

She also recently told Garage magazine  that out “of everything I’ve accomplished, my proudest moment, hands-down, was when I gave birth to my daughter, Blue.”

The new founder of sportswear line Ivy Park said her own mom Tina Knowles is who she gives credit for teaching her how to be a good parent.

“My biggest hero is and always will be my mother. She has taught me about caring for others, working hard and working smart,” she said. “Everything I know about being a mother comes from the examples she has shown. My mother has instilled confidence in my sister and me and taught us to always be grateful.”

Celebrity Mom and Baby Yoga on Instagram is a Trend

A couple of years ago  yoga instructor mom Laura Kasperzak and her then 4-year-old daughter Mini were all the rage on Instagram (and they still are). The duo wowed social media audiences with their fantastic yoga poses.

In the interim and since then, Elsta Patakay,  Gisele Bundchen and Hilaria Baldwin and others have shared photos and videos of themselves performing video with their kids.

Recently, Drew Barrymore trended today when a photo of herself with daughter Olive doing yoga started catching attention.

Cousins 2-year old North West & 3-year old Penelope Disick Rock Braided Hair Extensions

extensions

I think it is so cute that cousins Nori West and Penelope Disick got extensions added to their braided cornrows (or Dutch braids or “Boxer Braids” as they’ve been called or re-named in the fashion press).

Mom Kim Kardashian West shared a snapchat of her first born in the style while the entire family is on a ski vacation in Vail, Colorado.

Her sis Khloe Kardashian, who was sporting the same hairstyle,  shared an Instagram photo of Penelope with the caption, ““I made her my mini me.”

So adorbs.

Braided extensions worn on children hair has been controversial and is seen as a no-no in some communities for  a variety of reasons.

When Angeline Jolie put braided extensions on her Ethiopian-born daughter Zahra‘s hair, some said they would “put a strain on her tender locks” and create “insecurity” in her daughter and be made to think she “is not good enough,” celebrity stylist DaRico Jackson told Radar Online.com in 2011.

I disagree. Braided extensions don’t have to be installed in a way that pulls the hair and a temporary hair style once in a while does not have to have a mental negative consequence on a child or have any other meaning. I say so long as they don’t damage a child’s hair and they aren’t in there too long, go for it!

btw: don’t read the comments on Khloe’s pic of people fighting over Penelope’s hair because it will make you lose a few brain cells. I might be able to get the few I lost skimming them. ha!
