#WorldBookDay: British Star Wrote a Book so she Dressed her girls as Herself

klass and girls

Yesterday, March 3, 2016, was World Blog Day. In the UK, school children dress as their favorite literary character to celebrate and commemorate books and authors. Traditionally, children dress as characters from William Shakespeare plays, J.K. Rowling, Kiplinger, Beverly Cleary or other established authors.

But one of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums, British TV host, actress and singer Myleene Klass, decided to dress her two daughters, Hero and Ava, as herself. You see, when Klass was pregnant with her first child in 2007, she wrote a journal about her pregnancy, “My Baby Bump and Me” and recently, last year, Klass released a resource book for parents called “Things to Make and Do with Your Children.”

It was cute and before, Klass shared the outfits that she planned to have the girls wear surrounded by her book. Adorbs! But…

Some of her countrymen, including the editors at Daily Mail, shaded her, saying it was narcissistic and egotistical to hold herself up with all the other established and historical book authors of the world.

After Parenting 6 Kids at Age 40, Tiny Explains Why This Pregnancy is Different

tameka cottle harris

Compared to her previous pregnancies and other kids ,VH1 Reality TV star Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris is going to raise her 7th child a whole lot differently.

And it will start in the womb, the petite mom-to-be explained in a recent interview with Rolling Out.

For one, her husband, rapper T.I. [real name Clifford Joseph Harris] is reading to the baby while in her womb and she is doing a lot more reading about pregnancy, child birth and rearing.

“It’s different,” Cottle-Harris told the site. “With all the other kids, [T.I.] was there and involved and there with me. But this one is a little different.”

She credits maturity for the growth. “[T.I.]’s not afraid to go all out the box and do things like singing to the baby and reading to the baby… So, I had to make sure I’m reading to the baby, so I went and bought all these books, and we’re just about done with those books, so I need more books.”

The former talk show host said she also plans to take her baby with her on the road and credits our other Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum, Tamera Mowry-Housley for her decisiosn.

“I went to The Real  and Tamer always has her little baby there,” Cottle-Harris said. “And I’m like, yeah, I’m going to be doing that one day, you know going to work and having my little one with me.”

She also explained to the magazine why she considers the number 7 to be lucky for her.

Well, seven is like my favorite number. For one, I’m born in the month of seven. My birthday is 7/14, so I write 7/ 7, 7, which makes up 14. It’s the number of God. And it’s my seventh child. So, you know it means a lot. I’m very big on numbers and seven is my number.

And guess what? Currently, she is in her seventh month of pregnancy! It works!

T.I. and Tiny are expecting their third child together. The couple currently parents six kids.

Jessica Biel had Anxiety about Taking her Baby to A Restaurant so she Opened a Kid-Friendly One

Though she’s built up almost a year of mommy experience, Jessica Biel says going out to eat with a baby is still an anxiety-ridden experience.

The 33-year-old actress, who gave birth to her first child Silas with husband Justin Timberlake in April 2015, dished to E! News about the inspiration behind her new restaurant, Au Fudge.

“Since he’s so little still and I’m still kind of learning how I do it in a very smooth and like elegant way, it’s terrifying,” she told E! News’ Catt Sadler of her trips for food with her young tot. “You get to a place, you want to make sure the diners around you are not being bothered, you’re full of anxiety, you’re trying to go as fast as you can—you don’t enjoy it at all.”

However, she’s quick to note that these are the same anxieties she wishes to quell for new parents at her brand new kid-friendly eatery.

“That is exactly what we want to erase from the feeling of a mom, a dad, a family, a nanny, grandparents bringing their grandkids here. It doesn’t matter. We just want you to feel stress free about it and know that they’re playing with things that are safe, that we don’t use chemicals here, that there’s not just a bunch of plastic everywhere and we’ve really tried to think very thoughtfully about your family because it’s our family, too.”

Biel elaborated on the project to E! News back in September, adding that having her first baby certainly changed her perspective on how a restaurant should be.

“When we started talking about this, I didn’t have kids and so when [my friends] would say to me, ‘We need a place where we can go and have great food and feel confident where that food is coming from and a place where my kids have fun. This is missing.’ And I’m thinking, ‘Sure I guess, I’ll come hang out,'” she explained.”I didn’t have any real understanding of how important it would be to find a place and create a space where a family can come and your kid can be happy doing something and you can be really happy doing something else or you can be experiencing it together.”

Twitter

With her baby boy turning one in just a month, will Au Fudge be the spot of a big birthday bash?

“Honestly we’ve been so busy here—I literally have no idea what we’re doing,” she admitted. “He hasn’t had any sort of sugar like that, so I don’t know. I think I probably gotta start thinking about that…I don’t even know if I have the brain power at the moment to do anything other than just get this thing off the ground.”

Au Fudge officially opens to the public on March 4.

For 1 Week, This British Singer Copied Each & Every Kim Kardashian Social Media Post

kim copy sophie

British pop singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor spent a week copying each and every one of Kim Kardashian-West‘s social media posts.

It was part of a documentary for digital channel W and she was lucky it wasn’t a week that Kim decided to post a semi nude selfie.

“Yes, she went easy on me,” the “Murder on the Dancefloor” singer said in a promo for a TV show when asked about the type of tweets Kardashian usually posts. “She had a quiet couple of weeks. There were no nude shots or anything.”

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly, Ellis-Bextor said the experiment could have gone terribly.

cladia salinger

I just came from dinner tonight with the family celebrating my kid getting into the two private Catholic schools he applied to and when our table as ready , the waitress called out “Party of Five!” It immediately took me back to the Salingers and that great TV drama of the same title from the 1990s.

I get home and start scrolling through my media feed and guess who is expecting her first child?

Little “Claudia Salinger”!!!

Well, really it is actress Lacey Chabert, who was also brilliant as “Gretchen Wieners” in Mean Girls and has done several other TV, Movie & video game voice-over roles since then.

The petite star tweeted out an adorable photo of her pooch wearing a t-shirt that read“My mom is having a baby & all I get is this silly shirt.”

Chabert captioned the photo, ”  “Kitty doesn’t seem as excited as we are about this…I’m pregnant!!!! My husband and I are thrilled & so thankful.”

 



So adorable! Chabert and her husband David Nehdar wed in LA in 2013 and this is their first kid
