Will Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Punk Us with Another Gender-Bender Baby Name?

Posted on October 9, 2016

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have selected a name for their soon-to-be-born 2nd child, a baby boy and we at the Bellyitch offices are hedging bets on whether they’ll flip the script on the gender bender celeb baby naming trend.

Kutcher confirmed that he and his wife are expecting a baby boy after the two gave their first child, a daughter a male name: Wyatt.

In 2013, we blogged about the then celebrity -name trend of giving girls boy or unconventional objects names. Back then, the celebs on the list included:

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian : North

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon: Monroe

Lisa Ling: Jett

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson: Maxwell

Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z: Blue

Toni Collette: Sage

Gwynth Paltrow: Apple

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves: Vida

Then we updated that post in May 201 and noted that even more celebrities were naming their baby girls, traditional boy names:

Haylie Duff named her daughter Ryan

CaCee Cobb named her daughter Wilder a

Sara Gilbert has a daughter Sawyer.

Savannah Guthrie named her daughter Vale

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis named her daughter Wyatt

Kristin Cavallari, Bristol Palin and Liv Tyler named their respective daugher, Saylor/Sailor

We also pointed out others that we missed

Rebecca Gayheart named her daughter Billie

Heidi Klum named her daughter Lou

Soleil Moon Frye has a daughter named Jagger Joseph

And recognized that the trend really isn’t that new given older celebs have “been” giving their baby girls boy names

Diane Keaton’s daughter is named Dexter

Teri Hathcher’s daughter is called Emerson

Michelle Branch‘s daughter is Owen

Melissa Etheridge’s daughter is named Johnnie

Rebecca Romijn‘s dauhter is Charlie

Angie Harmon is a rebel all three of her daughters have male names; Avery, Finley and Emery

Will the Kutchers join the likes of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz who named their son Genesis or Shakira who names her son Sasha? Time will tell.

Posted on September 19, 2016

The stars came out in droves for the 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards held on Sunday, September 18 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. Among the celebrites attending the 2016 Emmy Awards were several of our Bellyitch “Bumpwatch” alums and other celeb moms we’ve featured on the blog.

Several were nominated including Kerry Washington for an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Movie or Series for her role as Anita Hill in HBO‘s Confirmation; Viola Davis, Claire Danes and Taraji P. Henson for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for their role as Annalise Keating in ABC‘s How to Get Away with Murder, as Carrie Mathison in Showtime‘s Homeland and as “Cookie” in Fox‘s Empire, respectively.

Winners included Regina King who took home the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role as Terri Lacroix in the ABC drama American Crime.

During a red carpet interview, she reflected back 20 years to working in Jerry Macguire alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. right after giving birth to her son. The recalled how supportive everyone was on the set to her and allowed her time to breastfeed.

“Honestly I just had my son the month before we started shooting and just being able to be in an environment that embraced a new mom,” the Southland and 24 alum said. “And they took breaks when it was time for me to nurse and that’s what I remember. I remember being able to be an actress and still be a mom and that’s special.”

She now stars on the hit HBO show, The Leftovers, and has directed several episodes of Scandal, Being Mary Jane, The Catch and other television projects.

Here’s Our 2016 MTV VMA Run Down

Posted on August 29, 2016

Did you catch the MTV Video Music Awards held at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night, August 28th?

It was heavy on performances including a lengthy set by our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Beyonce, who sang many songs off her latest album “Lemonade”.

She also won the biggest award of the night, Video of the Year, for her song “Formation.”

Two of our Bumpwatch alums, Kim Kardashian West and Alicia Keys introduced performances.

Meanwhile, Keys tributed Martin Luther King, Jr.on the 53rd anniversary of his “I have a Dream” speech. She read a poem that ended in a song while looking flawless in no make up.

Kim showed off her super slim down shape in a sheer curve hugging slip dress.

Other alums, Heidi Klum, Amber Rose, Jennifer “J Woww” Farley and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi also attended and looked great on the white carpet.

Britney Spears did a superb job during her comeback performance, singing her hit song “Make Me” with rapper G Eazy.

And one more thing: we also noticed that black and very sheer was a trending look on the carpet as well.

Here’s Our 2016 CFDA Red Carpet Rundown

Posted on June 8, 2016

The 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards went down at the Hammerstein Ballroom this past Monday, June 6, 2016 in New York City. Several of our blog alums were present including Beyonce who took home the Fashion Icon Award. She shined in a glittery box cut pin-striped suit with a wide bring black hat.

“I want to say thank you to every designer who works tirelessly to make people think they can write their own story. Y’all are fairy godmothers, magicians, sculptors, and sometimes even our therapist,” Bey said during her speech (via Vogue). “I encourage you to not forget this power you have or to take it lightly. We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection. Soul has no color, no shape, no form. Just like all of your work, it goes far beyond what the eye can see. You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, and to show people how to embrace their complications, and see the flaws, and the true beauty and strength that’s inside all of us. Thank you so much for this incredible award, I’ll never forget this night. God bless you all. Thank you.”

Her daughter Blue Ivy walked the red carpet for the first time with her mom and dad before the event.

Other of our “Bellyitch Bumpwatch” alums spotted on the red carpet included: Heidi Klum in Rolan Mouret, Jennifer Hudson in Prabal Gurung, Alessandra Ambrosio in Michael Kors Collection, Olivia Wilde in Rosie Assoulin, Claire Danes in Calvin Klein Collection, Jourdan Dunn in Jonathan Simkhai, Ciara in Roberto Cavalli, Adriana Lima in Marc Jacobs and Alicia Silverstone and Selma Blair, both in Christian Siriano, who attended the event with his design muses.

2016 Billboards Awards Red Carpet Style, Tho Adele Who Wasn’t There Won the Night

Posted on May 24, 2016

Bellyitch ‘Bumpwatch’ alums Jessica Alba, Kelly Rowland, Eudoxi Agnan, Ciara, Britney Spears & Idina Menzel at the 2016 Billboard Awards

Sunday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 2016 Billboard Music Awards saw some of our fave Bellytich Bumpwatch alums take the pink carpet in some fabulous fashion creations. And as usual, we poked around to discover who wore what.

However, the night belonged to Adele who took home 5 awards (second to The Weeknd who won 7). She nabbed the Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album for “25“, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Female Artist and Top Selling Song for “Hello” Awards. She wasn’t even there to accept the award in person because she is on a world tour but she did beam in via satellite.

Two more blog faves, Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell walked the carpet with Kathryn Hahn their co-star from their new TV show Bad Moms. (Which also stars Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate).

Kunis was in Zuhair Murad couture and Hahn wore an Altuzarra top and skirt. I love loved Bell’s Jonathan Simkhai jumpsuit. So cute!

Another blog regular Kelly Rowland went va va voom, almost too good for the Billboards, in a shimmery, sheer Labourjoisie gown.

Meanwhile, dressed in all black were Bumpwatch alums Jessica Alba businesswoman’s Zuhair Murad dress, Heidi Klum in Alfredo Villalba and Idina Menzel in a Michael Costello dress (Alba, Klum and Menzel presented awards) with host for the night, rapper Ludacris‘, wife Eudoxie Agnan.

Ludacris’ co-host was the super svelte Ciara who walked the carpet in a very revealing Phillip Plein gown. Wowza! She did too more sheer and material dresses during her hosting duties.

Britney Spears performed and before rocked the pink carpet in a black lace showgirl outfit dripping in Jacob & Co jewels and Schutz boots.

30 Celebrity Moms We’ve Profiled Who Have Since Split with their Kid’s Dad

Posted on February 10, 2016

Breakups happen! When it comes to several of the celebrity women we have ‘bump watched’ over the course of the 8 years of this blog’s existence, they’re not interested in sticking it out for the baby when the relationship heads south.

And thus, not only is BellytichBlog an institution that chronicles celebrity births, it also is a memoriam, of sorts, to relationships that once were. A significant number of pregnancies we’ve bumpwatched from pregnancy through birth were part of unions that have since dissolved.

The most recent is Idris Elba and his make up artist Naiyana Garth who reportedly just broke up. The couple welcomed their first child together in April 2014.

And the breakups aren’t always pretty.

Just this week, songstress and model Ciara filed a $15 Million defamation lawsuit in response to comments her ex hip hop artist Future has said about her in the media, traditional and social media.

Last week, Amber Rose found herself caught in the middle of a Twitter beef between Kim Kardashian‘s husband Kanye West and her ex Wiz Khalifa. West mentioned Rose and Wiz’s son Sebastian and Rose had to go off on him, revealing some intimate deets about their sex life when they were together, obviously to embarrass him and teach him a lesson about dragging her into his social media fights.

“I wouldn’t have said anything if it was just between him and Wiz,” Rose said on theAllegedly podcast. “That’s two grown men hashing it out. That’s their business. I would have kept it cute and just minded my business, but you don’t bring in my baby. That’s so corny.”

She and Kim posted the same “usie” on their respective social media accounts to signal the truce.

Here is a list of 30 of our past featured women who have since parted ways with their respective significant other who they procreated a child with.

Last Summer was a big heartbreak time with the breakups of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, Charlize Theron and Sean Penn and Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.

Some celebs have broken up before the baby was even born: Christina Milian, Kelis, Heidi Klum and January Jones and many more split with their respective partners before they even gave birth.

Or shortly thereafter…. A couple of year ago, Ciara, Eva Marcille (nee Pigford) and Amber Rose split with their partners before each of their babies turned 6 months old. A few years ago, Selma Blair and her ex Jason Bleick split up 14 months after welcoming their first child together.

No matter what happens, most children grow up in wonderfully co-parenting situations and survive and thrive!

Co-Existing: Breastfeeding, Motherhood and Glam Squads

Posted on February 3, 2016

In Hollywood (and Bollywood) getting pregnant and having a family can disrupt a woman’s career but not so much anymore.

Motherhood isn’t halting opportunities and production can and do work around a star’s pregnancy. In recent years, many celebrity parents are showing their social media fans that they don’t let motherhood interfere with their work either. They can do both.

Gisele Bundchen‘s famous breastfeeding while getting glam shot was controversial because vanity and glamity aren’t supposed to co-exist with motherhood and breastfeeding, socially.

But they can co-exist and since Bundchen’s photo, other celebrity women like Lily Aldridge, Molly Sims, Kim Kardashian, Ali Larter, Terri Seymour and most recently, Kandi Burruss have shared photos of themselves tending to their babies while getting glammed up for an event.

Perfect and just in time to update last year’s list of celebrity glam squads. Last year, I hunted down the various glam squad photos celebs have posted on Instagram, WhoSay and Twitter. This small team that help get a celeb woman ready for an event, award show or other red carpet moment consist usually of a hairstylist, a manicurist, a stylist, a make-up artist and a personal assistant. They work in tandem and sometimes simultaneously and the glam squad photo shows them in action.

Of course, most of the glam squad photos are staged. Let’s be real. I wouldn’t want to be having my hair hot curled while my head is being maneuvered and shifted by the make up artist. Ouch. I’ve had a curling iron dropped on me before and I have the scar still to prove it.

Also, showing off your glam squad is another way of telling your followers and fans that you are that special that you can’t get dressed on your own. This is not shade. I’d hire myself a team in a hot second! And you know this because even famous stylists who once were glam squad members are now celebrities in their own right. (think June Ambrose and Rachel Zoe)

These days, you can even rent one. Companies like Miami-based GlamSquad (pictured above) will bring a team to you starting at $75. Not bad!

Last fall, Her Campus ranked some of the squad members of the biggest celebrities whose work we see on the faces and hair of influential women.

Here are some of the glam squads we’ve seen posted on social media recently.
