Celebs that Do Co-Parenting Well and Dig Each Other Too

Posted on December 3, 2016

There are new generation of celebrity broken up couples being excellent examples for co-parenting. Some are even still secretly into each other and dating.

Trending this weekend was Kourtney Kardsashian who was rumored to be back with her ex beau and dad to her three kids, Scott Disick. TMZ clarified today that the couple are on friendly terms and travel together for co-parenting reasons though Kourt is open to rekindling their relationship now that Disick has remained clean and sober consistently for a long period of time! The couple co-parent their children together, 6-year old Mason, 4-year old Penelope and 1-year old son, Reign.

Good for them!

Also, rumored to be back together are Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck who parents to 11-year old Violet, 7-year old Seraphine and 4-year old Samuel. Some reports state that they are actually planning to add on to their brood and some say Jen is already expecting. Who knows? Time will tell, for sure!

This weekend, a long-since divorced couple showed some cordial friendly behavior: Madonna and Sean Penn co-presented at an annual charity and had playful antics on stage. Penn even joked about handcuffing Madonna on stage after he took up her challenge to bid $150,000 for a necklace in exchange for her agreeing to marry him again.

Also, during the Latin Grammy Awards in November, Marc Anthony and ex wife Jennifer Lopez gave each other a kiss after he presented her the Person of the Year award. He has since said that he is still in love with his ex wife and mom to their twins Emme and Max, according to US Weekly.

Sean “Diddy” Comb‘s relationship with his ex Kim Porter‘s son Quincy with 80s R&B recording artist Al B. Sure is ideal because he calls Quincy his son even though he is no longer with Porter and Quincy’s dad is very much alive and around.

Another great co-parenting role model is Jada Pinkett-Smith, who has helped her husband Will Smith raise his son, Trey, with ex Sheree Fletcher. They are great examples of blended families that get along.

Ask Alicia Keys, whose latest hit song is dedicated to blended families!

Celebs Who’ve Gotten Backlash over Their Parenting Skills

Posted on June 14, 2016

Parenting is hard. We all make mistakes.

Fortunately, we can learn from them, adjust and move on. Imagine if you are a parent and also a celebrity. Your mistakes can turn into a public firestorm. In this era of social media, everyone shares everything with everyone. And then, celebs are papparazi magnets. Before they know it, a wayward teen’s IG share or a photog in the bushes can land them in a bunch of hot water.

I blogged about celebs whose parenting skills have been criticized. Mode followed up with a few more. Check it out:

#WHCD/#NerdProm: All the Red Carpet Looks We Loved (PHOTOS)

Posted on May 1, 2016

I watched the red carpet arrivals to last night’s annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner held at the Washington Hilton in Washingtonl DC and I spotted several of the celebrity women we’ve spotlighted on the blog before.

Kerry Washington is a regular to the event as she is an ally of the Obama administration and has been very active on several of his campaigns and policy initiatives. She attended the event this year in a black one shoulder dress with ruffles at the trim made by another Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Victoria Beckham with a Jimmy Choo clutch and Stuart Weitzman heels, accented with Neil Lane jewelry.

Adriana Lima looked stunning in a crimson Carlos Obando dress with a significant slit and carrying a Nancy Gonzalez clutch.

I loved Neve Campbell‘s strapless metallic and teal

Savannah Guthrie looked lovely in her black criss cross bodice dress.

Regina King is a fave of mine and she looked absolutely radiant in this white gown. Her hair swept to the side like that is fab.

Wowza! Candace Cameron Bure looked stunning in this gorgeous strapless floral Badgley Mischka dress with Mambrini shoes, and jewels from Hearts on Fire Co and Effy Jewelry

Here are some of the other attendees, not just moms we’ve featured, just other nicely dressed stars at the event:

Emily Ratajowski in Monique Lhuillier gown and Brian Atwood shoes.

Emma Watson in Osman dress and trousers.

Quantico‘s Priyanka Chopra in Zuhair Murad dress and Christian Louboutin shoes.

Tracee Ellis Ross in a plunging neckline velour gown.

Tonight, @EmmaWatson at the White House Correspondents Dinner, wearing a look lovingly crafted at the Osman studio. Preserving fine artisan craft, the poppies are hand drawn and painted by Osman and finished off with 3D hand embroidery (a feat completed over the course of 10 days by a talented team of 4!). “Through the whole of my life I have been inspired by strong confident women who make things happen. And now with the clothes I make for women, I want to help create that confidence and empowerment,” says designer Osman @osmanstudio . #whitehousecorrespondentsdinner Hair: @therealdotti Makeup: @visapyyapy

Our Faves Looked Hawt Rocking the NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet

Posted on February 5, 2016

I am not gonna lie, I love awards shows for honoring talent, and the contributions of masters in their craft. But I do love the red carpet as well.

And tonight’s NAACP Image awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on Friday, February 5th did not disappoint.

In addition for mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen, and other Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums like Eva Marcille, Kerry Washington and Cree Summer, there were other fabulously styled moms we’ve covered in the past.

Jada Pinkett-Smith and Taraji P. Henson were knockouts!

So pretty was Jada Pinkett-Smith in this blue belle gown.

Posted on March 30, 2015

It was a busy weekend for celeb moms we’ve covered in the past. We’ve got photos to commemorate the weekend.

Jennifer Hudson performed her duet with Iggy Azalea outfitted in the sexy cop get-up she usually wears when performing that song. She looked great in the version at the I Heart Music awards (above) and the Kids Choice Awards (below).

Kelly Clarkson hit the night out at Muhammad Ali‘s Celebrity Fight Night XXI on Friday, March 27, 2015. Loved her outfit! Very fashion forward and hip.

Also, Friday, we spotted How to Get Away with Murder star Viola Davis and her 3-year old daughter Genesis at the Nick Kids’ Choice awards GBK gifting suite.

The next day across country, Michelle Obama received a standing ovation on Saturday at the taping of BET‘s 2015 Black Girls Rock! event at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, where she gave a powerful, inspirational speech.

The Smiths were in the house: Jada Pinkett, Willow and Will, looking like the hip ultra chic family we know and love.

On Sunday, Carrie Underwood shared on her Instagram page new picture of her and NHL player hubby Mike Fisher‘s newborn son, Isaiah Michael Fisher.

“The Predators are in the playoffs!” Underwood wrote with her son clutching a Nashville Predators hockey stick. “Just waiting to get called up! #PutMeInCoach.”

During the airing of I Heart Radio Awards, Kelly Clarkson rocked the stage with her latest single, “The Heartbreak Song.”

Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyoncé Knowles Carter reunited Deatiny’s Child briefly at the Stella Awards at the Orleans Center in Las Vegas, Nevada to sing Williams’ gospel song that features her ex-bandbates: “Say Yes“.

Ladies of CBS’ The Talk (Sheryl Underwood, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Taylor, and Julie Chen) at the CBS Network Upfront presentation at Lincoln Center on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, in New York.

Each Spring, cable and broadcast television networks trot out their biggest stars to be featured on their upcoming season shows and present them before the press, ad buyers, execs, and the industry in general. It’s also a great time for celeb watchers to gawk at some of the fab outfits the stars and cast members choose to wear.

Here is a selection of our a few of our favorite looks from Bellyitch alums, moms and other notables who hit the various red carpets before heading in to their respective event.

NBC UNIVERSAL UPFRONTS

at The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on May 15 in New York City.

Three members of the Cast of BravoTV’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The E!’s co-host of Fashion Police Kelly Osbourne who is sticking with her colorful hair but mixed it up with a cute faux hawk and deep purple lips. Tres chic and refreshing!

Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian in matching low cut black wrap dress but with Khloe going a little more demure by wearing a cami underneath hers with fab shoes!

We suppose NeNe Leakes isn’t going anywhere as rumored as the Real Housewives of Atlanta star worked the carpet in a hip black dress with lace sleeves and bodice, looking great.

E! host and star of Giuliana and Bill, Guiliana Rancic looked amaze-balls in and healthy in this smart biz dress.

The Cast of Chrisley Knows Best Savannah, Julie and Chrisley Chase.

FOX NETWORK FANFRONTat The Beacon Hotel, NY on Monday, May 12.

Our Bellyitch Fashion Style Mom icon awardee Jada Pinkett Smitt shimmers in fringe and will star in FOX’s new Batman show Gotham this fall.

Bones actress Emily Deschanel graced the event as well looking still as healthy as ever since we followed her Vegan pregnancy in 2011.

Totally stalking this African trend print blouse and mini skirt on Condola Rashad who stars in Hieroglyph. Rashad is daughter to famous TV mom Phylicia Rashad with sports TV anchor Ahmad Rashad.

Pageboy meets French Provencal. We get it. It works for Camren Bicondova who will also star in Gotham.

The Help‘s Octavia Spencer looked beautiful as she prepares to star in Red Star Society this fall.

The Mindy Project returns this fall with actors Chris Messina, Mindy Kaling, and Ike Barinholtz

.

We love that Mindy Kaling keeps it real: “I sweated through this but it was badass for a hot second!” she wrote in the caption to this photo of her Upfront outfit on her Instagram account.

Yes Leather mini dress. It works on Taraji P. Henson who stars in Empire this fall.

ABC UPFRONTS

To no surprise Scandal returns with Katie Lowes, Darby Stanchfield, and Bellamy Young

Felicity Huffman at the Entertainment Weekly & ABC Upfronts Party at Toro on May 13, 2014 in New York City. Huffman stars in American Crime this fall.

Tracee Ellis Ross returns to TV in ABC’s Black-ish this fall, seen here in sunny yellow and fab pink pumps at the Entertainment Weekly/ABC party. What an unexpected color combo! Laurence Fishburne exec produces the show that will star the daughter of the iconic Diana Ross.

Lana Parilla worked this turquoise blue jumper looking sweet and unlike the witch she portrays in her dark fairy tale show Once Upon a Time.

Viola Davis will star in How to Get Away with Murder this fall.

Minnie Driver, who will star in About a Boy, is gorgeous. That is all.

Tina Fey is back at her genius this time presenting the show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt which stars Ellie Kemper . And Black and White is still hot isn’t it?

It should be against the law for Anne Heche to look so amazingly fab though we would’ve gone with a less pale shade of pink so not to wash her out in photos like here.

CW NETWORK UPFRONT

at The London Hotel on May 15, 2014 in New York City.

Shantel VanSanten who stars in The Messengers wins in this m]Marv pencil dress that fits her to a T.

CBS NETWORK UPFRONT

at Lincoln Center on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, in New York

Yup, that’s our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Tea Leoni with her Madam Secretary co-stars Tim Daly, T Bebe Neuwirth and Patina Miller.

Original Bellyitch Bumpwatch mom Halle Berry is working it in these harem pants and returns to the small screen to star in CBS’ drama about an astronaut who returns whom after living in outer space for a year in Extant this fall. We call it the “Gravity” effect. ha!

We didn’t expect our fairly recent Bellyitch Bumpwatch mom Ana Faris to go back to looking precisely the same as before giving birth so soon, but alas, she has and does a feminine pale pink lace pencil-skirt length dress justice. She stars in the CBS show Mom.
