I LOVE a rocker or a band tee and so do a lot of the Celeb women we have”bump watched” in the past.
Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney Kardashian, Kate Hudson and Alessandra Ambrosio have all rocked the band tee well when snapped out and about. (See above collage)
Not only are these chic t-shirts great way to pay homage to a fave performer or band of the present or yesteryear, but they are iconic fashion items that are forever in style.
Sleeveless, long sleeved, under a denim or leather jacket, with a pair of jeans or cropped shorts, they can be mixed and matched in any casual look.
I’ve Insta-shared pics of myself in band tees featuring The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones and more myself. (See collage below)
Cant get enough and my collection continue to grow.
I curated a selection of rockstar tees under $20 each for my budget conscious readers. Check it out: Powered by my partners at Shopstyle:
About 4 years ago, we blogged about how tons of celebrities welcome babies with men they ar not married to and how they, unlike most women, are not shamed for it.
Several, like Heidi Klum and Kelis break up before the baby is even born. The mention is not to bash different lifestyle choices or situations but just to point out the prevalence of premarital pregnancy in Hollywood.
Of the several dozens women Bellyitch has “bumpwatched” since its inception in 2007, the lion’s share or bulk of them were technically single (though possibly attached or engaged) while pregnant.
Also, to a certain extent, these blessings, each of them, are celebrated and cheered. Meanwhile, average non-celebrity women who have children out-of-wedlock are traditionally trashed, bashed and shamed, by society.
It’s a double standard, no doubt. But alas, these are changing times and traditional notions and norms are altering too.
Here is a list of 40 celebrity women ( from our old post in 2013, there have been many more since then) who got pregnant before going down the aisle, including some that didn’t even want a ring, and some that are still happily single (in no particular order):
1. Kim Kardashian 2. Salma Hayek 3. KimZolciak 4. Amber Rose 5. Victoria Beckham 6. Kelis 7. Emma Bunton 8. Halle Berry 9. Natalie Portman 10. Jennifer Hudson 11. Snooki 12. Lauryn Hill 13. Kristin Cavallari 14. Melanie Brown 15. Heidi Klum 16. Fantasia Barrino 17. Isla Fisher 18. Nia Long 19. Drew Barrymore 20. Yandy Smith 21. Kate Hudson 22. Jill Scott 23. Britney Spears 24. Nicole Richie 25. Kate Winslet 26. Alicia Keys 27. Jessica Simpson 28. Keyshia Cole 29. Michelle Williams 30. Lauren London 31. January Jones 32. Miranda Kerr 33. Kourtney Kardashian 34. Nivea 35. Jamie Lyn Spears 36. Adele 37. Angelina Jolie 38. Kristen Bell 39. Christina Applegate 40. Jane Krakowski
I’ve been keeping a file of my favorite Halloween costumes I’ve encountered while online this past weekend and today. I will post them there here periodically and credit where and if I can because you know viral images are sometimes hard to trace back to the originator.
Anyway, enjoy!

DJ Khaled is one of those celebrities who has a ginormous Snapchat following and has really taken off as an artist and a social media personality using that site. Recently, he went BIG when shared the birth of his son to that audience of this week when his fiance Nicole Tuck welcomed the couple’s first child.
The Internet went wild with its response!
In a series of snaps, Khaled shared vids of himself listening to Bob Marley, Arabic prayer chants and finally his own music, while Tuck labored, pushed and eventually gave birth to baby Asahd Tuck Khaled on Sunday, October 23rd. Some fans were cool with it and still others thought it was TMI.
He did give us all a heads up because he told Jimmy Kimmel his intentions back in June, Time reports!
When asked about Tuck’s thoughts on it, he said: “The key is that I’m the king and every queen should support the king. I’m going to talk to the doctor and if the doctor says everything is gonna run smooth, meaning that we wanna make sure that the queen is right and my son is right. If it’s running smooth where I can just do my thing, I’mma Snapchat the whole thing.”
Kourtney Kardashiandelivered her own baby on national TV on her reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It’s like our new normal.
Here ya go, if you haven’t seen it! One YouTube user put all the clips together and uploaded them here:
One thing those of us who cover celebrity families can expect to see each Fall are photos of celebs with their children at California pumpkin patches. E!Onlinehad a humorous take on the tradition of paparrazi stalking stars and their families.
This year, Alessandra Ambrosio, Mark Wahlberg and more recently Kourtney Kardashian and Blac Chyna (with Rob Kardashian) were spotted picking out gourds with their little ones, taking hay rides and getting their faces painted.
We did a little piece on Mr. Bones pumpkin patch in Culver City last year which is the most popular pumpkin patch for celebrity spotting!
Blac Chyna (real name Angela Renee White) is 34 weeks pregnant and celebrated her impending arrival of her 2nd child, a baby girl, with fiance Robert Kardashian at a lavish coed poolside outdoor wedding shower at a luxurious estate.
The mom to be wore a nude beaded and jeweled dress by Angel Brinks and arrived to the even in a party bus with her 3-year old son King Cairo with ex-fiance, Tyga.

Chyna’s best friend Sylvia Karapetian organized the cloud-themed event which featured decadent desserts, cloud-shaped cookies, a cupcake tower and more. The bar was stocked with Moet, Ciroc and top shelf premium alcohol for friends.
The intimate affair was attended by 80 guests including Rob’s friend Scott Disick (ex-boyfriend to his sister Kourtney Kardashian and dad to his nephew and nieces), E! Newsreported. Rob’s sisters Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall and Kim were at Paris Fashion Week.
There was a very unique 7-layer topsy turvy cake, balloons in the shape of clouds over the pool and floral arrangements in the shape of clouds. There was a photo booth for kids to
“Rob has been involved in the planning. He really wants Chyna to be happy and he has been helping with the small details so that everything is to her liking,” an insider told E! prior to the bash. “He really wants it to be a special day for her.”
Guests brought several designer and upscale gifts. (see video below). Looks like it was a success and E! News sources said the couple were very affectionate towards one another and Rob seemed very pleased to becoming a dad.
“It was such a fun party. Rob and Chyna had the best time. Rob and Scott arrived together right at the beginning and Rob was the last to leave,” a source shared with E! News. “He was so happy, very very excited about being a dad. Scott kept teasing him and saying “Bob, you are about to be a dad!”
Recall, last week, Rob had a mini melt down and tweeted out his half-sister Kylie’s number out when he mistakenly thought his sisters were planning a shower without inviting Chyna but he told On Air with Ryan Secrest.
“It was miscommunication,” Rob told Secrest on his daily radio show. “They were trying to all surprise me and do a little shower … I took it the wrong way because it was a surprise, so I thought they weren’t going to have Chyna there.”
At least Rob manned up to the very juvenile mistake.
“It was literally miscommunication and I probably shouldn’t have went on Twitter, but I did,” he admitted. “We all love each other and we’re all family and I never want to beef or argue with anybody.”
Chyna and Rob got engaged in April after three months of dating and announced they’re expecting the next month.
Check out the photos that various guests and vendors shared on Instagram, including photos of a maternity shoot they did with PEOPLE magazine.
January Jones, Kim Zolciak, Alicia Silverstone, Padma Lakshmi, Mayim Bialik and Tamera Mowry did it and now Blac Chyna will be the next celebrity to eat her baby’s placenta after she gives birth.
The future Angela Kardashian revealed this tidbit during an interview on her BFF Amber Rose’s podcast, Play. It’s Loveline with Amber Roseon Wednesday, September 14.
“I feel like with my second baby, I’m more educated than the first one,” the former model told Rose “Just reading and knowing the pros of breast-feeding for your baby, and just recently I found out some new, cool stuff about not cutting the cord and sending your placenta; you can get these pills to take them after to make you and the baby healthy.”
She will also join company with her future sisters in law Kim Kardashian Westand Kourtney Kardashian who also revealed that they took placenta pills.
Chyna is expecting her second child with fiance Rob Kardashian. She has a son named King with ex-fiance rapper Tyga, who coincidentally is currently dating her future sister-in-law Kylie Jenner. See this neat E! Chart
I give it up to Tia Mowry who ate her sister Tamera Mowry’s placenta. She gets props as the only one to eat someone else’s placenta!
Blac Chyna, aka the future Angela Kardashian, has joined the other Kardashian women in the nude pregnancy game.
The model turned fiancé of Rob Kardashian is featured on the cover of the September issue of the magazine.
Recall that this is the same mag that published the famous nude Kim “Breaking the Internet” cover.
Chyna’s future sis-in-law Kourtney Kardashian was featured naked and pregnant on the cover of Du Jour magazine a few years back.
That was around the time in 2014 that Kourt posted a side-by-side Instagram photo of her nude maternity self portrait along with one her mom Kris Jenner took over decade ago while expecting.
Kim Kardashian-West didn’t do an off so nude mag cover but she did attempt to silence haters who accused her of carrying on a surrogate pregnancy. She posted an infamous silhouette image on the gram.
Yes Celebrity Airport Style is a thing. Regular folks like you and I know that when we travel by air, we need to be comfortable so we may layer t-shirts, wear jeans, yoga or jogging pants, slip on shoes and a sweater or shawl. But if you know that you will be photographed by tons of paparazzi from the curb to the gate, you might as well look fabulous, right?
I mean, there are even Tumblr blogs dedicated to Celebrity Airport Fashion. Here are how some our Bellytich Bumpwatch alums dressed pretty chic, sophisticated and heavily over-styled for taking a flight.
Chokers are all the rage but they don’t look that great on everyone. You might have to have the right outfit, confidence and look to pull it off.
But there are less bold options out there for women who are choker-timid.
A thinner strap choker tied in a bow is dainty and less in your face choice. Source
Instead of a thick strip material, a choker that is a trio of thinner straps can work. Source
A colored choker tied in one bow rocks. I like this green one. Source
Wear your choker like a piece of jewelry. Get one with beads or jewels. Source
Here is a choker that is a combination of a the less conspicuous choker looks. It is colored, has thinner strips in a row, tied I a bow and also resembles an article of jewelry.
Kourtney Kardashian is one hot mom who wears chokers best.
Whether you dare to go bold or just admire from afar, chokers are a fab fashion trend that is here to stay!
