With Dad-to-Be Stuck on Plane, ‘The Leftovers’ Liv Tyler’s dad Steven Tyler cut her Son’s Umbilical Cord

Posted on December 6, 2015

Tonight is the season finale of one of my favorite shows, The Leftovers. In it, our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Liv Tyler is somewhat of a villain and I’m loving her performance on this dark and mysterious HBO drama.

(She’s on it with another fave of mine Regina King who I recently had a fan girl boast about on my hair blog.)

This Thursday, Tyler told Jimmy Kimmel ,while appearing on the show promoting her show, that her dad, rock legend, Steve Tyler of Aerosmith, cut the umbilical cord of last child , Sailor Gene Gardner, now 9-months old.

Sailor came 6-weeks early and Liv’s partner David Gardner couldn’t get to the birth in time because he was stuck on the plane so her pops stepped in! Nice! Though, I can see how some people could also find it a little icky. You know your dad there seeing his adult child push out a child. um…yeah.

Her half- sister Mia was there too.

Love is love is love reflected ANOTHER @LivTyler MOMENT (GOD WINKED AGAIN)…so proud of my Alpha Pup ???❤️? pic.twitter.com/HO0EIPvICH

The clip from Kimmel:

I used to have a 3 decades-long crush on Steven Tyler. It ended when he was serving as one of the celebrity judges on American Idol and I saw him oogling some 17-year old contestant who looked hawt. Ugh! Total turnoff. Well, it’s not like I don’t have a husband who is weirded out that the front man was one of my celeb crushes. ha!

Watch the Finale of The Leftovers tonight! I think you can catch back episodes on the website, on Hulu or HBO on Demand or HBO’s stand alone service.

These Celeb Parents Rocked the 2015 Latin Grammy Awards Green Carpet

Posted on November 19, 2015

Tonight is the the 16th Latin GRAMMY Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 19, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Roselyn Sanchez co-hosted the biggest night for Latin artists.

Before the show we spotted another Bellyitch alum Zoe Saldana looking back to her super svelte self in a cute pencil skirt length black dress.

Not a mom but another regular featured parent, Ricky Martin looked extra dapper tonight.

Sanchez did an illuminating color, white, the night before attending the 2015 Latin Grammy Person of the Year Honoring Roberto Carlos in Las Vegas yesterday. Nice!

Jada Pinkett-Smith, one of our posh mom style icon recipients, went with embroidered overlay white dress with the bodice shear and strategically placed over her breasts. She was alongside her husband Will Smith who was set to perform with Bomba Estero during the ceremony.

Inside RHOA’s Kandi Burruss’ Baby Shower

Posted on November 16, 2015

This weekend, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and her husband Producer Todd Tucker celebrated the impending arrival of their first child together, a son, at a baby shower hosted at the Zucot Gallery in the upscale Castleberry Hill in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, November 14.

It wasn’t hard to come up with a theme that vibed off of the mom-to-be’s name, Kandiland. Very cute!

Along with balloons shaped like candy, a cup cake cart, multiple candy bars and stations and other yummy delicacies, upstairs there was a gentlemen’s quarter with a safari theme that the guys could chill in, we learned from Rolling Out‘s coverage.

Our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums Phaedra Parks and Rasheeda attended along with other celeb moms we’ve featured including Tiny Harris who were among the organizers.

On site, there were gorgeous black and white family maternity portraits taken by Atlanta-based photographer Drexina Nelson.

Actually, it was very cool to see the team incorporate many ATL and other small event planning businesses like JW Exclusive Designs, Johnnie Winston catering, Balloons And Things, Blushing Berries, Cami Cakes and Exquisite Events by Tomeka who all posted photos of the event in social media, in particular, Instagram.

Here are some of the lovely photos we spotted shared by vendors, guests and the guest of honor, Burruss, herself.

Thanks @jwinston06 for the great food & everything else that you did to make our shower amazing! Go to his company page @jwexclusivedesigns to see more pics from the event.

Weekend Buzz: Get Chrissy Teigen’s Fab Dinner Look (SPLURGE & STEAL)

Posted on November 14, 2015

The web is abuzz about first-time, mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen‘s very cute look today while attending The Hollywood Reporter‘s Beauty Dinner in Los Angeles, California at The London Hotel on Wednesday, November 11 this week. The intimate event celebrated the launch of the double cover feature with one of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums Reese Witherspoon and her make up artist, Molly R. Stern and another frequent featured mom Taraji P. Henson and her make up artist Ashunta Sheriff.

the h ollywood reporter beauty issue 2015

Some style networks are saying Teigen is channeling Kim Kardashian who is known for wearing sheer clothes this pregnancy.

We love the green lace Femme d’Armes shirt over a forest green bra tucked into a pair of very smart black Farfetch by Stella McCartney pants and paired with some cute black pumps while toting a black Kotur box clutch.

We’ve curated an almost similar look which will retail for about $2,500 below:

Here is a version in a lower price point (about $100 total) for any preginistas out there that may want to replicate the fab look:

EcoFriday: DIY Tips with Mom-to-Be ‘FABLife’s Leah Ashley (VIDEOS)

Posted on November 13, 2015

So here’s what happened.

A little while ago, I got the heads up from the folks on the new lifestyle talk show FABLife about an episode where the daily show’s DIY enthusiast and Lifestyle specialist Leah Ashley did an awesome upcycle job turning a pair of baby cribs into children’s desks.

Ashley co-hosts the show along with show creator Tyra Banks and our Bellyitch Bumpwatch mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen, design stylist Lauren Makk and Fashion expert Joe Zee.

On the show, Ashley helped a mom to quadruplets go through the kids’ grandmom’s garage and pull out their old cribs and eventually convert them into two awesome kids’ desk workstations! Amazing. You can see the clip here!

Perfect for our occasional Eco-Friday segments on the blog.

On the episode with the cribs transformation, I noticed that Ashley was also preggers and naturally, being obsessed with pregnant women, I started to do some online research and landed on her Living with Leah Facebook page and soon learned that the YouTube Star turned regular DIY featured guest for several TV shows is expecting her first child, a son, Finn with her husband of about a year.

She had a baby shower on the show recently and then had one with an audience full of other expecting women.

And I also discovered that Ashley has been rocking her stylish looks on her channel and on air during the daily talk show.

And Ashley also shares some pretty cool DIY vids that moms-to-be could appreciate, like this video on how to make your own baby shower ornaments and items:

.How to make a Baby Mobile!

Ashley even took her fans into her own baby shower at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, California!

And she recently gave out Nursery tips this week!

We also dug the Baby Shower Bites that Teigen whipped up for Ashley’s on-air baby shower

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

Posted on October 29, 2015

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.

Gorgeous!

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).
