Mom-to-Be Kandi Burruss Isn’t Slowing Down, From Ebony Cover Story to New Family Restaurant

kandi burruss update

Second-time Mom-to-Be Kandi Burruss, star of BravoTV‘s Real Housewives of Atlanta, is also in the running for the hardest working preggers celeb.

The entrepreneur already has a successful adult toy individual franchise company (Bedroom Kandi), a popular late night web show (Kandi Koated Nights), a clothing boutique in Atlanta (TAGS) and a rising music indie label, all while balancing several reality TV shows, to add to her decade career penning chart toppers for music industry’s biggest names.

She recently announced that she and her husband Entertainment Producer Todd Tucker are planning to open a family restaurant.  “My hubby & I are putting together our family restaurant & getting some tips from @chefjaaion. #coming2015 #ILoveToEatSoYouKnowItsGonnaBeGood #Foodie,” the former 90s girl band singer captioned a photo of herself with Tucker and friends on Instagram recently.

The Grammy-award winning multi-platinum songwriter also just wrapped a family maternity shoot with Atlanta-based celebrity photographer Drexina Nelson.

“My girls @latashawright @gochasalon & @shunmelson got me & my family right for our photoshoot with @drexinanelson. #BabybumpPics,” the pretty preginista captioned the photo of her glam squad who hooked her up for the photo shoot.

This phenomenal-looking shoot was right after appearing with her entire family in the infamous Ebony magazine “Black Family ISSUES” edition with the controversial photo of a shattered image of The Huxtables from the famous 80s show The Cosby Show on the cover.

“I finally got my copy of the new #EbonyMagazine family issue that includes my family!” Burruss captioned the IG photo collage of the images of her family in the magazine. “Our family discusses the topic of blended families. Thank you @kiernamayo for including us in this issue! Wow I can’t believe my family is included in the issue with the Obama family & the controversial cover of the #Huxtables. #CosbyShow #RHOA #FirstFamily #Presidential #Obama”

Fab!

Burruss also recently supported another one of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums, Rasheeda, who recently launched a boutique herself called Pressed, also in the ATL. Good Stuff.

“I stopped by to see my sis @rasheedadabosschick. Got a few goodies for @rileyburruss at #Pressed while I was there. #FriendsSupportFriends #RasheedaAlwaysBusy #BossChick”. Nice!

Counting down to Baby Tucker. No word still on the gender. Burruss and Tucker each have one daughter from previous relationships, Riley (Burruss’) and Kayla (Tucker’s).

Why ‘Gawker’ has Been Trolling Kristin Cavallari for 500 days 

Third-time mom-to-be Kristin Cavallari is actively promoting the imminent release of her first book “Balancing in Heels” while waiting to soon deliver her first daughter with husband, Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler.

On the caption to a recent Instagram post, the shoe designer, most famously known for her role on the cast of the heavily scripted MTV reality TV show The Hills, wrote:

“It’s hard to believe I will be a mom of 3 in just a few short weeks…I owe so much to my babies…they have changed me in so many ways for the better.” 

Cavallari, who has had bit acting parts in a few TV series (CSI:NY, The Middle and The League)and has been a TV host (The Fabulist),  first announced the book‘s release to E News back in January.

She revealed then that the book will also cover fashion, beauty, health, fitness and cooking.

Also since then, Gawker‘s “Defamer” blog has been trolling the pretty blond with its “500 Days of Kristin Cavallari” series.

Periodically, Gawker writer Allie Jones posts a little trollish tidbit about Cavallari counting down the days until the book is released.

We suspect it has to do with Cavallari’s controversial stance on vaccinations which she thinks causes autism.

It’s free publicity for her but something tells us that after the book is published, the trolling will continue into the context of the book.

Oh boy!

?

The snarky coverage hasn’t stopped the football wife from pushing her various projects.

Cavallari has also been promoting the Fall Fashion Campaign for her shoe imprint with Chinese Laundry.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight this month promoting the new season’s fashion, the Laguna Beach alum admitted that having three children scares her but that she is excited about having a baby girl.

She said she is already getting the nursery ready and “getting all the pink and purple clothes.”

Fun! Keep on, keeping on, Kristin!

How Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld are Helping Needy Families and Promoting Fatherhood

jessica seinfeld baby buggy bellyitchblog.com

We love when we see celebrities using their fame for good.

Nationwide, the need for diapers is great with nearly one in three U.S. families not able to afford an adequate supply.

Jessica Seinfeld, who we’ve previously reported for her work promoting her charity Baby Buggy which gives gently used essentials and other goods to families in need, recently announced the success of the “Change for Good” initiative.

It was a partnership with Seventh Generation brand and Whole Foods which led to a donation of 1.5 million diapers for families in need. For every pack of Seventh Generation “Free & Clear” diapers purchased at Whole Foods Market between May 1 and September 30, 2015, Seventh Generation donated a pack of newborn or size one diapers to Baby Buggy, who distributed them to families in need across the country.”

The diaper donations have helped families in countless ways, from a father in Southern California who can now send his child to daycare with real diapers instead of the makeshift homemade diapers he once created, to the expecting, low-income military families in the Seattle area who welcomed diapers in advance of their babies’ arrival, a press release from Seventh Generation read. The donations provide a necessity for babies and peace of mind for parents, as illustrated by the young mom living in a group home in New York who can now focus on reading to and playing with her baby when she gets home from her job as a store clerk, instead of worrying about how she will squeeze enough out of her paycheck to buy the diapers she needs. She can now be the type of mom she wants to be and that she never had.

“Diapers are an essential and relentless need. There are very few state or federal child safety-net programs that allocate dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers, and yet a pack costs approximately 1.5 hours working minimum wage for low-income families to afford,” said Dr. Laurel Parker West, Vice President National Programs, Baby Buggy. “This program is especially critical to families we serve who often have to choose between buying food and buying diapers, and we are so pleased to be making this national distribution to families in need.”

Awesome news!

These wins come on the heels of a recent launch of the organization’s “Baby Buggy Fatherhood Initiative” this past June, led by Jessica’s hubby famed comedian Jerry Seinfeld.  The goal of the initiative was to get dads involved in their children’s lives by expanding support and assistance to them as well, especially those in low-income families.

Good stuff! Kudos all around!

This is the Pumpkin Patch that Celebrities Take their Kids to Each Year

celebrity pumpkin patch 2015

This is the last week and weekend before Halloween to hit up the pumpkin patch and score yourself a rad pumpkin to carve or set up on your porch. Out in Hollywood, Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in Culver City, California is a favorite spot for celebrities.

Each year several celeb fams head out to the patch and are either photographed by the papps or share their own photos in social media.

Bellyitch Bumpwatch we spotted this year include alums Heidi Klum, Kendra Wilkinson, Tamera Mowry-HousleyGwen Stefani , Kourtney and Kim Kardashian and Rachel Zoe at the patch with their kids. We also saw first time mom-to-be The Walking Dead star Alanna Masterson, who plays “Tara Chambler” on the hit AMC show posing a patch; and late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel and his daughter Molly.

Fun times!

Inside Ciara’s Surprise Superhero Themed 30th Birthday Party (PHOTOS)

 Kim K wasn’t our only Bellyitch Bumpwatch babe who had an epic celebratory birthday weekend. Songstress Ciara did too!

Several of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums including Beyonce and Kelly Rowland gathered in person and via satellite to celebrate her 30th birthday on Saturday, October 24 in Los Angeles, California,

The “Body Party” singer’s beau Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw the model-actress-songstress the surprise by tricking her into thinking she was meeting with friends for dinner, according to PEOPLE magazine’s source.

She was instead driven to the Warner Brothers studio lot where she was greeted by Wilson outfitted in a Batman outfit standing next to the Batmobile from the upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Another Bumpwatch alum Jennifer Hudson sent birthday greetings via satellite as did Missy Elliot, Ludacris, Joe Jonas and Michael Strahan.

The star NFL player then gave her a body-hugging Cat Woman outfit for Ciara to change into. She was then whisked to another location where about 100 of her closest family and friends were waiting. 

 Comedian Jeff Dye, dressed as Marvel anti-hero The Punisher, captured a photo of himself with Bey as Storm, which he shared on his Twitter account.    

 Five years ago, for her 25th birthday, Ciara dressed as Storm as well.

Fast forwarding, this weekend, her 2-year old with her ex Future, son Future Zahir was there too looking super cute in an awesome Superman costume. 



  Actress Lily Collins (Phil Collins‘ daughter) posed with the birthday girl.

There was an awesome #Squad photo behind a green screen featuring Bey, Rowland as the super hero Black Canary, Lala Anthony as a female Captain America, World Tennis  champ Serena Williams not in costume but made up for it by her assistant Val Vogt dressed as Harley Quinn and Bey’s cousin/assistant Angie Beyince.

Jennifer Hudson sent birthday greetings via satellite as did Missy Elliot, Ludacris, Joe Jonas and Michael Strahan.

Only two years ago, Rowland and a few other celeb friends joined Ciara as she threw a surprise 30th birthday party for Future. Aaaah….what a difference two years make.

Check out the other photos of the event shared in social media by Ciara and guests.

Inside Coco Austin’s Baby Baby Shower thrown by David Tutera

Mystery solved!

Celebrity designer David Tutera taped another episode for his WE TV show David Tutera CELEBrations Thursday night at New York City’s Cedar Lake Events which was a pre-birthday party for Coco Austin and IceT‘s soon-to-be born baby girl Chanell Nicole. This will be the couple’s first child. Austin is 8 months along but hardly looks it.

The black and white cake in a signature Chanel quilted print featured in the official WE TV photos was super cute.

I love the red, black and white-themed decor. The event looked elegant and can be viewed more during this season of Tutera’s show!

Celebrity blogger B.Scott has loads of pics from the event on his blog which you can check out HERE!

It was not an official baby shower because her mom and sister threw her that a week prior in Arizona. Love the Chanel shower cake and her dress is super cute in the photo Coco posted on her Facebook account.

Evangeline Lilly Trending for Her Post-Birthing Baby Bikini Bod Annoyed a Few People

evangeline lilly ant-man http://bellyitchblog.com

Lost alum Evangeline Lilly was trending all day today because of an E!Online report announcing the now mom-to-2 was spotted on a beach wearing a bikini two months after giving birth to her second child in Hawaii.

Backtrack, Lilly is great about not announcing her pregnancies. It wasn’t until she was 8 months along before a wayward member of the paparazzi spotted her in Hawaii where she lives often with her longtime partner Hawaii born Norman Kali, a production assistant she met on the Lost set.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies star announced the second pregnancy by showing up this summer to the red carpet for her movie Ant-Man‘s première.  She was already 7 months pregnant.

And even now, the Canadian-born managed to avoid the press for two months after giving birth, having not released a statement about the birth of her second child at all. If it wasn’t for the papps again, we’d still not know she had the kid.  Lily and Kali are parents to 4-year old son Kahekili Kali.

The fact the news of the bikini was the reason she trended upset some in social media and the blogsphere. We’ve discussed often on Bellyitch before how pop culture and gossip media’s obsession with the post-body celebrity can be dangerous for the message it sends to current and future new moms, and to society in general.

Blogger Jenny Rapson of  Mommin It Up vented on For Every Mom today:

“I understand celebrities are newsworthy, and I am not saying a celebrity having a child isn’t news,” Rapson penned. “I am perturbed at the PRESS for making this NEWS.”

She then went on to highlight three things why this actress’ body being newsworthy upset her:

“And herein lies my issue: why is this news? Why the excitement about a beautiful mom showing some skin after having a baby? Is it because…

  • GASP! Women’s bodies are certainly ruined by children and they should never show them!
  • OH THANK GOD SHE NOW LOOKS PERFECT—AS IF SHE NEVER HAD A BABY! PRAISE JESUS SHE ESCAPED HER TERRIBLE MOM BOD FATE AND CAN
  • WALK AROUND IN PUBLIC WITHOUT PEOPLE RUNNING AWAY SCREAMING!

See, Moms? You can look hot after having a baby! You can achieve the ultimate goal of beauty in life AND be a mom, too. Now hit the gym!”

Well, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

And Rapson wasn’t the only one. Here are some of the reactions we captured of folks in social media .

Word!

Whose ‘No Pay’ Craiglist Ad for A Comedian to Gig a ‘Celebrity’ Baby Shower is This?



Ok. No seriously, who is throwing a baby shower for a celebrity in the Chelsea district on New York City and trying to recruit a comedian last minute to come work for free…on Craigslist?

We got questions.

Did somebody’s intern dropped the ball?

Who squandered the entertainment budget on donuts?

Or did we miss the memo? Are we booking celebrity events on Craigslist now?

Is this a thing?

In the ad, under the category “gigs” listed yesterday, October 23, the anonymous requester brazingly announces the gig is for “No Pay”.

Huh? Where they do that at?

 And here we thought people in the category of “celebrity” had money or at least had friends who could afford to pay for the entertainment at a shower thrown for them.

Guess not.

Yet, the ad is judging potential applicants, saying  essentially don’t apply unless you’re CREDIBLE.

Hmmm like as credible as a craigslist ad for a celebrity baby shower?



And then it goes forward to demand that anyone seeking the job have performed at “legit clubs” and ideally on Comedy Central. 
 So the ideal candidate worked his or her butt off and eventually appeared on a national cable show dedicated to comedy but sucked so bad, s/he’s back combing craigslist for no

pay gigs? 

If the exchange for the pay is exposure, then isn’t being on Comedy Central a bigger resume booster than gigging at some possibly D-list celeb’s baby shower?

And you got to send “a reel and a resume” but can’t contact the cheap party thrower for unsolicited offers.



Um…if you’re advertising on Craigslist, it seems to us that you probably need a wider pull of services so you should be taking these offers.

just sayin’.

Maybe we’re just being snarky and this is totally legit and common.

If so, then, “wow”, that means it’s damn hard being a comic in 2015.

Anyway it was great comic relief for this Friday morning.

TGIF, everyone!

ps. We’ll find out soon whose celebrity baby shower this was for…stay tuned or ping us if you got answers.

Social Media Buzz: MTV Teen Mom2 Star Leah Messer loses Custody of Twins

leah messer kids and jeremy

Last week, Leah Messer star of MTV reality TV show Teen Moms 2,  lost custody of her twin girls, Ali and Aleeah to their dad Corey Simms. The couple were awarded 50/50 joint custody in 2013, according to reports. However, Simms cited plead for full custody and won it, according to reports. The judge revoked all custody after the girls’ school records indicated consistent tardy arrivals.

Messer was initially on the show 16 & Pregnant and then went on to become a full cast member of Teen Mom franchise that spun off from that and has been on Teen Mom2 for several seasons.

I don’t follow the stars of this show much, but it was trending on Twitter and Facebook all day today, so I figured I should mention it for those of you who don’t keep up with trending topics and have been following the behind the scenes lives of these folks in the off season. We last featured her when she gave birth to her third child, daughter, Addie, with then husband Jeremy Calvert (above).

Reports indicate he will be seeking full time custody of now 2-year old Addie.

Tough break. I do hope this jolt will be the kick she needs to improve her life so she can regain some custody. That’s got to be hard on a mom.
