Sofia Vergara’s Willing to have A Baby via Surrogate

 

 

Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara is the cover model for October’s In Style magazine and inside, among other topics, she talks getting a surrogate in the future. 

The 43-year old actress has a 22-year old son Manolo but is considering having a baby with her fiancé  Magic Mike XXL star Joe Manganiello.

“I’m really borderline at my age to do it. And if I’m going to do it, I would need a surrogate,” the ex-model told the magazine. “I’ll need help. But I don’t mind it; it’s fine.”

Ok. But er um… Did you resolve the ongoing dispute with your ex over those fertilized embroys you guys harvested that you want to destroy but he wants to keep?

We just sayin’

HBD to Motherhood Work/Life Balance Role Model Licia Ronzulli

 

Happy Belated 39th birthday to Licia Ronzulli, an Italian member of the European Parliament, who is well known for taking her daughter Vittoria to work with her in Parliament sessions beginning in 2010 when Vittoria was just a baby. 

 

 

The legislator, born on September 14th, has received several honors and recognitions for being a model of motherhood and work/life balance, exemplifying the notion that, with the right supportive employer, you can have it all. 

  

  

Granted, she is in a good powerful position to be able to demand flexibility, as is Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer who built a nursery near her office so she could have her baby next to her while she worked.

But still, the viral and often shared photos of Vittoria growing up in Parliament speaks to how exposure to big moments, events and places can do for a young girl in terms of her realizing there is nothing stopping her once she is determined. 

At 5-years old, Vittoria is unstoppable. 

Happy Birthday, Virgo! 

What Steve Jobs’ Widow Wants to Build to Fix America’s Inadequate Schools

jobs

Perhaps because America’s current public schools were never created with the goal of nurturing the future innovator, Steve Jobs‘ widow Laurene Powell Jobs is going to build them herself from scratch.

Today, the philanthropist announced that she has committed $50 million to the XQ: The Super School Project which is working to redefine and reimagine high school education in the U.S.

From now thru November 15 XQ will accept applications and select finalists in April 2016 with a goal to build between 5 to 10 Super Schools over the next five year period.

The purpose of the competition is to create a model of what an effective and innovative high school looks like.

“Teams will first self-assemble; then, immerse themselves in the leading thinking and research on how students learn today; spend time unearthing student needs and the changing demands of the world of work; and do rigorous systems-thinking to build their ideas into the next American high school,” the XQ website states.

Those that win will get money and expert mentor support to turn their idea into a reality.

22 Sexy & Fashionable Virgo Celebs 

 Early Adopter

As this month is a fashionable one with all the various designers unveiling their Spring 2016 and Fall 2015 collections on runways at various cities’ respective Fashion Weeks, and it being Virgo season, I thought I would highlight all the fashionable celebrity moms and designers we’ve covered in Bellyitch over the years.

Tom Ford also infamously said, “You know, the world might be a very scary place if it were only run by Virgos.” True, but every organization needs a Virgo in it to keep it running smoothly. So does the world!

ha!

I admit I am biased given my birthday was on September 6 and I myself am a proud Virgo and share a birthday with at least one spouse of a Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum  and the sign with other alums (above) including the Queen Bee Beyonce (Sept. 4), Country singer Jennifer Nettles, (Sept. 12), TV host and former model Padma Lakshmi (Sept. 1) , Songstress P!nk (Sept. 8) and powerhouse singer and actress Jennifer Hudson (Sept. 12).



Our Virgo Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums who are actual designers include Stella McCartney (Sept. 13), Nicole Richie (Sept. 21), and Rachel Zoe (Sept.1)


Male Fashion Icons and Designers I love and admire (either for their fashion sense, work ethic or a combo of both) include: my birthday mate and alum Idris Elba (Sept. 6), Tom Ford (Aug. 27), Karl Lagerfeld (Sept. 10); and guys whose S.O. we recently covered Wiz Khalifa, ex to Amber Rose (Sept. 8) and Evan Ross, spouse to Ashlee Simpson (Aug. 26).

Young and/other influential in-demand Fashionable women I enjoy seeing dressed up as fashion muses for several designers: Taraji P. Henson (Sept. 11), KeKe Palmer (Aug. 26), Misty Copeland (Sept. 10), Zendaya Coleman (Sept 1) and Angela Simmons (Sept 18).


Finally, fashion forward and super sexy Salma Hayek (Setp. 2), Jada Pinkett Smith (Sept 18) and Sanaa Lathen (Sept. 19) also rock the Virgo Virgin sign well.



And of course Ludacris (Sept 14), rounding up for pops of recent alum Eudoxie.

Happy Birthday, Virgos!

I hate canceling and I am truly sorry to my fans that have been excited to see this show. Please know that I never cancel anything unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

The affected dates are Saturday and Sunday in Vienna, VA, September 15 in Tampa, FL; September 17 in West Palm Beach, FL; September 19 in Raleigh, NC, and September 20 in Camden, NJ. 

 All tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase.

NY Fashion Week: Celeb moms on and off the runway

 

 

We are in the middle of another New York Fashion Week and already we’ve spotted some new and current Bellyitch bump watch alums and moms at shows and a few on the runways, and behind the scenes. 

 

 

Before singer Ciara, Future Jr’s mom, was a R&B pop star, she was a model and these days we’ve seen her return to her model life. She rocked casual attending the Ralph Lauren show this week. 

 

 

And posed up with another recent bump watch alum Liv Tyler (mom to 7-year old Milo and 7-month old Sailor) and her dad Steven Tyler at Givenchy. Tyler was a long-time Givenchy spokeswoman.

  

 
 

Brand new mom Emily Bustamante (Emily) from VH1‘s Love and Hip Hop was a model mom this week. Her son Rojan is a child model and walked in several shows. 

 

We saw celeb stylist-turned designer Rachel Zoe (another Virgo) supporting backstage at the Givenchy show.

  

 
 

And attend the House of Gant Fall presentation on Thursday with the designers and her hubby Rodger Bermnan.

 

 



While previously sharing on IG that she and her team are hard at work on her own show that runs today.

    
 

Current 2nd-time mom-to-be Karolína Kurková was also at the Gant show, hamming up the bump in the line’s athletic sweat pants.

 

 

  

Earlier, the Victoria Secret angel shared with her fans and followers in social media that she is a working mom model. 

  

 
 

She is having another baby boy, she revealed recently after announcing this summer that she and hubby Archie Drury are expecting again. The couple are parents to 5 year old Tobin Jack

    
 

Last, but not least, Jennifer Husdon, who is also a Virgo and celebrates her birthday today, wore Givenchy while attending and seemingly walking at Givenchy’s show.  

She joked about the long walk to her front row seat at the show.

Charlie is one lucky girl to have you as a mother @odetteannable.

Cocoa Austin compares bump With hubby’s SVU co-star Kelli Giddish

cocoa austin pregnancy

While visiting the set of her husband Ice T‘s show Law and Order: SVU recently, talk show and reality TV star Coco Austin used the opportunity to update her Instagram fans on her pregnancy and catch up with fellow preggers SVU star, Kelli Giddish.

Of her pregnancy, the buxom host of FOX talk show Ice and Coco wrote in a photo of herself in a paisley halter maxi dress cupping her belly:

So u ask where is my baby bump? Well, basically its going ALL to my boobs.LOL almost 26 weeks & there is still little sight of #babychanel

Again I feel so blessed to be breezing through the stages of pregnancy and hope it doesn’t change. I do wear less heels but honesty my feet haven’t given me problems yet! Instead of working out 3-4 times a week I brought it down to maybe twice a week but then again fitness hasn’t even been a priority..I don’t really crave food that much and have only gained 5 pounds.. I’m not usually a sweets person but I do crave a little at night right before I go to bed now and lastly she’s kicking & moving around like crazy in my belly..I always joke, she’s practicing her yoga!! Haha….. Ok so there is your update. I’m on the set of Law&Order and had some downtime to fill you in

She also posed with Giddish (Det. Amanda Rollins on the show) who is 33 weeks along and who had a less glam, and more laid back natural barfeet boho look going on.

“I love my homegirl @kelligiddish its so cool were preggers at the same time!” Austin captioned the pic.  “LaborDay weekend fun! #svu

Kelli is #33weeks I am #26weeks”.

Giddish, who married husband  Lawrence Faulborn in an intimate ceremony on June 20, is also expecting her first child…just as Austin is with hubby of over a decade, rapper and actor Ice-T.

 

Cool! Looking good ladies!
