Octavia Spencer laments Her ‘Eggs Are Expiring on the Shelf’

June 2, 2018 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

During a press tour to promote her new film, A Kid Like Jake, actress Octavia Spencer laments that her chances at achieving biological motherhood are dwindling but she hasn’t given up hope on motherhood.

“I had always seen myself as a parent of three.,” the Shape of Water actress shares.“Since we haven’t found Mr. Right, my eggs, you know, they’re expiring on the shelf. Those days are dwindling,” she admits. Still, “There are avenues. There are other ways to have children now, so I’m not saying I’m never going to be a parent. But I probably won’t be a biological [mom].”

Spencer adds that when and if she becomes a parent, she hopes to be as understanding as the husband and wife characters, The Wheelers, played by Jim Parsons and our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum and currently second-time mom-to-be Claire Danes who must confront the challenges of raising a little boy who prefers dolls and ballet tutus to trucks and toy soldiers.

Spencer plays Jake’s pre-kindergarten school teacher who encourages Jake’s gender nonconformist play and pushes The Wheelers to apply to private limited admission schools as they simultaneously deal with other students who are not as understanding, and their friends challenging their approach to the situation. Watch the Trailer below. It is quite moving:

Claire Danes is Expecting Baby #2!

April 19, 2018 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

Claire Danes is going to become a mom again!

The 39-year-old Homeland actress revealed to Howard Stern on the X-rated Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM on Wednesday that she is expecting her second child with husband Hugh Dancy. Danes, who shares a 5-year-old son, Cyrus, with the actor, said she is currently in her second trimester.

“I’m pregnant,” she said on the Howard Stern Show. “I’m seriously preggo. I’m deep into my second trimester.”

“You look so thin,” Stern said.

“I’m seated,” Danes replied.

When asked about the sex of her second child, the actress said, “I’m going to keep that to myself.”

Danes and Dancy have been married since 2009.

15 Celebrities Caught in Cheating While Pregnant Scandals

September 17, 2017 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

This weekend, comedian Kevin Hart came clean about having some indiscretions with a woman who is not his wife and recently tried to extort money from him in exchange for keeping a sexually-explicit video she took of him secret. He chose to fess up and apologize to current expectant wife Eniko Parrish and his children with ex wife Torrei Hart instead in a video posted by TMZ.

Good for him for not succumbing to an illegal extortion attempt. While it is disappointing that he strayed at a critical time in his wife’s life carrying their first child together, hopefully, they can overcome this incident.

Hollywood has a little history of male celebrities stepping out on their spouses while pregnant. And female celebs too. For example, actress Claire Danes reportedly cheated with her Stage Beauty co-star Billy Crudup who left his then 7-months pregnant wife Mary Louise Parker for her before Danes and Crudup too eventually split up.

Some end up in brand new unions. In 2010, former NFL great and ex TODAY show Sports commentator Tiki Barber cheated on his pregnant wife Ginny Barber with 23-year old intern Traci Lynn Johnson while Ginny was pregnant with the couple’s twins. He is currently married to Johnson and the two of them have children.

Actress Shar Jackson was pregnant with her third child with longtime beau and backup dancer Kevin Federline, when he started an affair with Britney Spears.

Then there are the “duh” incidents common with athletes and rappers.

Lil Wayne had two women, singer Nivea and actress Lauren London pregnant at the same time. So obviously somebody was getting cheated on at some point.

A-Listers get burned too.

Actress Salma Hayek broke up with her French billionaire fiance François-Henri Pinault 11 months after the couple had their first child. There was speculation he may have started an affair while she was still pregnant.

Finally, Bones Star David Boreanaz cheated on his wife of eight years, Jaime Bergman, while she was pregnant, reportedly — and of all people with Rachel Uchitel, the same NYC events planner who boned a married Tiger Woods!

Keep your chin up, Eniko! From the looks of recent photos she has posted on Internet, she seemed to be having a pretty fun pregnancy up until now.

When you look good, you feel GREAT!?? My goal is to keep going until I can’t go anymore! ?? Happy #31weeks.. ? #WeGotThis ??

Look Back at the 2016 Tony Awards Red Carpet Moments

June 15, 2016 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

This Sunday’s 70th Annual Tony Awards was overshadowed a bit by the news of the horrific shooting inside a nightclub in Orlando Florida the night before it was held at The Beacon Theatre on June 12, 2016 in New York City. Several presenters and award recipients acknowledged the victims as did the host Late Night TV’s James Corden.

The styles on the red carpet were super glam yet not too over the top. Fitting for the somber’ish mood. We spotted our Bumpwatch alum Jane Kracowski perform a number with her co-star from the play ‘She Loves Me’. Other “Bellyitch Bumpwatch” alums attending the event that we also saw on the red carpet included singer Thalia, models Liya Kebede and Jourdan Dunn and actresses Keri Russell and Claire Danes.

2015 Prime Time Emmy Awards Red Carpet and Winners

September 21, 2015 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

Watching the red carpet to the 67th Annual Primtime EmmyAwards at Microsoft Theater tonight, I must say I was really loving all the creative and different silhouettes, daring cutouts and experiments with texture on the styles of clothing.

Early photos I saw revealed a lot of prom and pageant-like dresses, and very full skirts and structured boring looks we’ve seen before on the Miss Universe stage, but then when I began to dig deep into the photo galleries and I was wowed by Amy Poehler‘s midriff revealing black Michael Kors Collection dress with spaghetti halter straps. Grrrrr!

And January Jones‘ emerald Ulyana Sergeenko jumpsuit with a starfish brooch at the hip was to die for!

Kerry Washington did not disappoint this time in a silver metallic Marc Jacobs with futuristic cap shoulders, Casadei pumps and Harry Winston jewels. Love Love!

Mad Men‘s Jessica Pare brought out the color in her pink Monse halter dress, accented with Fred Leighton jewels and Christian Louboutin heels.

Many were nominated and several took home awards like Julia Louis-Dreyfus who won again for the 4th straight year in a row as the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Veep.

And Congratulations to Viola Davis for her historic win as the first African American woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role in How to Get Away With Murder tonight. Bravo! She rocked this stage in a righteous twist-out fro complemented nicely in a white with black print Carmen Marc Valvo gown, Stuart Weitzman shoes, and Neil Lane jewels.

Congrats also to Regina King who played a protective Muslim mother in the mini-series drama American Crime and for her role on that version of the series nabbed the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series of Movie!

She took her son Ian to the ceremony and acknowledged him in her speech for a win she really didn’t expect, as she explained to ET!

.@ReginaKing was SO surprised about her #Emmys win. Congrats! #ETEmmys pic.twitter.com/fYWkXLPkdp

— EntertainmentTonight (@etnow) September 21, 2015

These were big wins given the fact that historically in the US, there are not that many roles written and cast for black women to play so they can outshine their contemporaries at the time and earn wins.

Very Cool.

King looked nice though the color and frame of the dress was underwhelming for her powerful and strong body. The back was banging tho. Owww!

Maggie Gyllenhaal did the ball gown thing in Oscar de la Renta with Fred Leighton jewels. I don’t have enough words for Heidi Klum‘s dress and I found the fit of Claire Danes‘ Prada dress a bit off for her tonight.

Veep‘s Anna Chlumsky brought some glam in Bibhu Mohapatra and Chopard jewels and Sofia Vergara did the usual old Hollywood glam vixen figure-hugging fishtail look. Seen it before. It’s her signature and works for her I guess but she really should change things up.

Celeb Moms Rocked The Producers Guild Awards Red Carpet

January 22, 2014 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

We’re in the homestretch of Award season at Celebrity moms were representing on the Red Carpet of the 25th annual Producers Guild Awards at The Beverly Hilton hotel this Sunday, January 19,

Claire Danes looked stunning in Christian Dior, Julia Louis-Dreyfus stunned in Max Mara and Gillian Anderson rocked Dolce & Gabbana.

Next Week: The Grammys!

2013 Golden Globes: 10 new moms radiate on red carpet

January 14, 2013 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt

The Golden Globes are on and in full swing at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California. And on the red carpet moments before were some of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch newest moms, including Adele, above, who looked gorgeous and confident in a lacy Burberry dress and Cartier Jewels. Good for her for going with a British designer. Adele gave birth to her son with Simon Konecki in October and has kept a low profile ever since. This show marks her first big public outing and she looks amazing, wouldn’t you say?

Congratulations to new mom Claire Danes who won for the Best Actress in a TV Series/ Drama!! She looked radiant in Versace and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. She stuck with her signature smoky eyes that she wore during the Emmy Awards. Cute. I love that dress! The hair? meh.

Another new mother Megan Fox dazzled in a body hugging nude lace Dolce & Gabanna gown accented with Lorraine Schwartz earrings. Smoking! I like how everyone wore their hair all old Hollywood deep wave swept to the side.

Other Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums looked fab on the red carpet too such as:

And Kate Hudson looked smoking hot in this Alexander McQueen dress. I love the cutout and think it looks edgy but still radiant. The hair looks a bit wispy and a mess and the consensus among my Facebook friends is that she should have worn it up and better coiffed.

And mom to one-year old Milo, Alyssa Milano, got plenty of face time during the broadcast of the show. She gives good face and looked gorg in her mustard colored Grecian drapery dress with turquoise jewels, and too much of it, that she could’ve left off. The earrings are too heavy for the weighty gown. And pick one: either the bracelet or ring. With that belt, the excessive other jewelry overwhelms the look. I don’t like that color clutch at all either. It’s too much of a contrast with the dress.

And Bones actress Emily Deschanel rocked it, I think, in a Badgley Mischka crepe gown and jewel crusted cuff. The mom to 1-year old Henry and is our celebrity vegan pregnancy spokes momma.

New mom Sienna Miller in Erden‘s Spring 2013 collection. Oh my?!?! What was she thinking. No words.

Heidi Klum usually looks well styled but I am not feeling this one shoulder Alexandre Vauthier dress at all with the jeweled embellished collar. I love the chandelier earrings and the cuff jewels. The gold shoes are all wrong. The color not flattering. And overall, a little too heavy on the bling. And again, we see the deep waves to the side look which appeared to be the signature for these 70th Golden Globe Awards.

Not so new mom, but original Bellyitch alum from the site’s first year in 2007, Nicole Richie who looked totally old Hollywood in a Naeem Khan floor length number, paired with Brian Atwood heels and her very own House of Harlow 1960 Jude clutch. The Fashion Star mentor accessorized her look with jewels from Arunashi, Sylva & Cie, Elahan and House of Harlow 1960.

She is channeling a Sophia Loren look here. I like but think it ages her a bit, even though it is cute.

And finally, show host Tina Fey, who became a new mom again recently to 1-year old Penelope Athena Richmond, looked sophisticated and smart in her black and white strapless L’Wren Scott dress, Fred Leighton jewels, Roger Vivier clutch and Salvatore Ferragamo pumps.

She and co-host and SNL and Baby Mama co-star Amy Poehler totally killed tonight! Congrats

Great looks overall, from our Bellyitch Alums! Keep it rockin’ mamas!
