A post shared by Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi (@gg_golnesa) on Apr 28, 2020 at 2:59pm PDT

“Very happy to report that last night Golnesa Gharachedaghi gave birth to Elijah Javad Gharachedaghi,” her rep told Entertainment Tonight. “The baby arrived last night in Los Angeles at 8:50 p.m., 6.5 pounds, 19.5 inches.”

The rep added: “Everyone is doing great and Golnesa is beyond excited to be a mom and start this new adventure.”

The feisty petite 38-year old was very open about welcoming her first child via in vitro fertlization and a sperm donor. She has stated in that past that though having a baby solo is frowned up on in her Persian culture, she had wanted a baby all her life and was not going to let old traditions get in the way of her dream.

On the Bravo show Watch What Happens Live, the Wüsah owner and cannabis entrepreneur told host Andy Cohen that while she’s had a “great support system” of family and friends, she endure a tough road to pregnancy.

“The biggest struggle I’ve had in general has just been having rheumatoid arthritis and dealing with the pregnancy,” she opened up to Cohen, also sharing that her doctors intended to induce her two weeks before her due date so she could go back to her intense treatment for that autoimmune disease.

According to PEOPLE magazine, “Gharachedaghi used a sperm donor and completed a round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in August, but nearly lost her life after her first successful embryo transfer in the spring led to an ectopic pregnancy that required emergency surgery and the removal of both fallopian tubes.”

“This is what I wanted my entire life,” Gharachedaghi, 37, told People. “When little girls were talking about their perfect husband and their perfect weddings, I was talking about the 10 kids I was going to have.”

She plans to skip the husband and raise her child on her own. She’s the third cast member to be pregnant following Mercedes “MJ” Javid last Spring and Asa Soltan in July 2017.

She’s totally cool about raising her baby on her own.

“I’m OK right now focusing on me and my baby,” she said. “We’re in a day and age that women are so much more independent, and we’re not necessarily relying on men in order to move forward in life. I can start a family and have my child without being in a relationship right now.”

She added that if she is lucky to meet someone, “That’s great” but she is not interested in getting married in the future or necessarily being with a “forever life partner.”

“My forever will be my child,” she said.

Gharachedaghi got hitched to her on again, off again boyfriend Shalom Yeroushalmi in 2017 but the marriage lasted 7 weeks and they divorced.

The Shahs of Sunset season finale airs Friday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Our Faves from the Tequila Casamigos Halloween Party

Posted on October 29, 2017

Amal Clooney hosted a party by husband George Clooney’s tequila company along with their business partner celeb couple Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber who throws the annual Tequila Casamigos Halloween Party.

Each year, the event is attended by an A-list of celebrities.

The 1970s/Studio 54-themed event featured several other of our fave celeb mamas we’ve “bumpwatched” in the past including: Kim Kardashian-West with one of her BFFs Jonathan Cheban dresses as Sonny and Cher.

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was there showing off her unbelievable 6-pack abs! Wowz. Molly Sims and Rachel Zoe attended wearing Mettalic gold 70s-inspired outfits.

The event was held at the Old Tower Records spot in Los Angeles, California.

“[We] serve a lot of Casamigos and everyone just kind of lets loose and has a great time,” Gerber told Entertainment Tonight‘s Lauren Zima of how he pulls in the biggest crowd in Hollywood, year after year. “It’s really the one time everyone gets to let loose and play dress up, and pretty much everyone is friends. It’s all part of the House of Friends…. Everyone looks forward to that one night of the year.”

I Love that Mila Kunis Keeps it 100 All the Time!

Posted on October 6, 2017

I love celeb mamas who keep it real, including A Bad Moms Christmas star Mila Kunis who recently opened up to ET about a variety of topics from family, the holiday traditions, to shedding baby weight and I’m here for it all!

You can catch a video of the interview here!

But among my fave parts include when she responded to the question about how she lost her baby weight after the birth of her now 10-month old son Dimitri. (She and husband actor/investor Ashton Kutcher are also parents to 3-year old daughter Wyatt). She didn’t mince words.

“Lots of gym-ing. I hate someone who’s like, ‘This is all natural.’ Bullsh**. It’s not natural.” Ha! Love it! That’s right!

Also, it was like re-living watching moments from scenes of her role in the original Bad Moms when she got stressed out about raising her fictional children to be good people when she said this:

“Yeah, we’re not gonna raise a**holes. There’s enough a**holes in this world! We don’t need to contribute. But, you know, there’s some nice people.”

Amen sister!

I too come from a inter-religious family that celebrates many holidays and my husband grew up in a country, Trinidad, that celebrates Hindu, Christian, Muslim and several other religious as public holidays, so I could dig her answer on how her family celebrates the holidays:

“I come from communist Russia, where you’re not allowed to be happy, so my holiday traditions are ‘be quiet.’ Coming to America is when you realize Christmas has a magical quality to it. In Russia, back in the day, it was a very religious holiday, so you don’t celebrate Christmas if you’re not Christian and if you’re not at Mass. So, I being Jewish, was like, ‘Christmas is not for you.’ We come to America and we’re like, ‘Christmas is so inclusive.’ We literally bought a Christmas tree. So as far as tradition goes, my family’s big on any excuse to get the family together and get drunk. Whether it’s Easter, which we’ve now all accepted into our Jewish household, or Christmas, it doesn’t matter. It’s all family time, but having kids, we’re building up our own little versions of tradition.”

Very cool.

Kunis is a woman and a mom right after my own heart! <3 Can’t wait to see her again in A Bad Mom’s Christmas! Loved the first movie so much!

Report: Janet Jackson Dropped 50lbs Since Giving Birth, Ready to Tour

Posted on June 10, 2017

Janet Jackson is making incredible progress when it comes to shedding the baby weight.

The 51-year-old superstar has already lost 50 pounds since giving birth in January in preparation for her upcoming tour, a source close to the Jackson family tells ET.

And Jackson hasn’t been taking any shortcuts. The new mom has been “training, dieting and eating clean,” to achieve the results, our source says. Jackson’s first tour stop is on Sept. 7 in Lafayette, Louisiana

“Her pregnancy and having a healthy baby were her top priority, so when she canceled her last tour, she knew that she would be making it up to all of her fans once she got on the road again,” the source shares.

As of now, Jackson has no plans to relocate from London back to the Unites States, the source adds. The “Rhythm Nation” singer has been living in London — where her estranged husband, Wissam Al Mana, is based — since before the birth of their son, Eissa. Jackson and Al Mana split three months after Eissa’s birth.

“She’ll call London home,” the source says. “She’s adjusted to life in London and co-parenting with her estranged husband.”

Not surprisingly, Jackson is “heartbroken” over the recent terrorist attacks in Manchester and London.

“She and her brother, Randy, watched the [One Love Manchester] concert,” the source says. “Her heart goes out to all the victims.”

Kim Kardashian-West: Kanye Helped Me Embrace My Pregnancy Curves

Posted on August 8, 2016

In a candid blog post recently, Kim Kardashian West opened up about embracing her curves during her pregnancy and credits her husband Kanye West for boosting her confidence. As ET summarizes:

“During my first pregnancy, I just wanted to cover up,” she writes. “I wasn’t used to how being pregnant made me feel, and I honestly had a hard time being comfortable with it. The second time around, it was easier for me to embrace the changes. I loved finding looks that showed off my pregnancy curves.”

Kim acknowledges that shedding 70 pounds after giving birth to Saint took plenty of hard work and dedication.

“After I had Saint, I decided to set goals for myself. I was motivated, but it was tough!” she says. “It isn’t easy to just bounce back. I was so jealous of women who had these cute little baby bellies and would gain 25 pounds — and then, a few weeks after giving birth, somehow look exactly like they did before they were pregnant, lol. That’s not me.”

She did have one person firmly in her corner — her husband, Kanye West.

“A big source of my confidence is my husband,” Kim shares. “I’m my own biggest critic, and Kanye is my biggest supporter. He always encourages me, and makes me feel confident about owning all my curves and showing them off.”

Above all, the mother of two strives to set a good example for North.

“As North gets older, she’ll start to be more aware of herself and her body,” she notes. “Her attitude toward her body is directly related to my own, so it’s my responsibility to make sure she understands that positive body image comes from having a healthy self-esteem.”

Keisha Knight-Pulliam Breaks Her Silence On Her Troubled Marriage

Posted on July 29, 2016

Actress Keisha Knight-Pulliam has spoken out about her marriage and husband Ed Hartwell‘s decision to file for divorce only 8 months of marriage.

A few days after the news went public, the former child star sat down with Entertainment Tonight exclusively to tell her side of the story and explain how blindsided she was by the news.

“It’s hurtful,” the Spellman College grad shared. “I knew I couldn’t be silent, because this isn’t about money. This isn’t about fame. This isn’t about social media likes or follows. This is about my character — my integrity as a woman being attacked — and that’s not OK.”

She said her husband, a former NFL Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens player, told her about filing for divorce via text message.

He noted on court papers that “irreconcilable differences” were his reason for seeking an end to his marriage. He also asked that Knight-Pulliam soon-to-be-born daughter be subjected to a paternity test after birth.

“This is his baby,” Keshia told ET. “He wanted more children. He was excited once he found out that we were having a little girl. There was never a question about that. … [At] no point after we got pregnant was there an issue of the fact that we’re having a baby.”

She also revealed said that she was the one who wanted to leave first after discovering he had cheated but she gave him a second chance after he plead with her to stay.

“Early on in my marriage when I was faced with this, I was ready to leave. It’s not OK,” Pulliam says. “In the process, I found out I was pregnant. And I had to take another hard look and decide if I wanted to try to work through this and forgive him for the sake of the child. Like, I had divorce papers ready. I presented it to him. … Once I was pregnant I did decide to give him that one last chance.”

“The part that hurt me the most when he filed for divorce was that he had asked me to give him another chance, and I was willing to do that and forgive him, for our family,” she adds.

Knight-Pulliam says she is okay with the separation but still interested in co-parenting.

“There’s a baby in the middle of this,” she stressed. “Regardless, if we don’t want to be married, that’s fine, because we agree on that. But this baby is what’s important.”

We’re thinking of her and the baby and family. Hopefully, she will pull through.

Britney Spears inspired one couple’s very creative pregnancy announcement video.

Jerrad and Machel Green parodied four of Spears’ hits in their fun announcement to family and friends about their impending arrival: “Oops…I Did it Again”, “Toxic”, “Nauseous”, “I’m a Slave For You”, “I’m Avoiding You.” and even her latest song with Iggy Azalea.

In response to the fact that their video has gone viral, the couple wrote on their Facebook Page: “Craziness I tell ya! We can’t wait to meet our little sweet pea in November! Xoxo”

The Greens own a vintage marquee sign company and have one son already. She is a gorgeous blonde and former Miss Dance of South Carolina. He won a Grammy once for drumming.

They obviously put a lot of work into this music video, and since it has gone viral, they have appeared on several national TV shows like Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition and local TV. The TODAY show and Live with Kelly and Michael were to feature clips from the video too.

Rosie O’Donnell & Ex exchange ugly jabs over daughter’s custody

Posted on May 1, 2015

Rosie O’Donnell and her estranged wife since 2012 Michelle Rounds are engaged in an ugly battle over the custody of their 2-year old daughter Dakota.

Rounds says she wants their child to lead a “normal life.”

But O’Donnell’s rep told PEOPLE magazine that Rounds wanted sole custody as a “desperate attempt to use a child for her own gain.”

O’Donnell even threw shade at Rounds and brought their daughter in the mix by Instagraming a photo of Dakota with a message, “Excuse me – do i get a vote?”

Not true says Rounds.

“Right now she has 24/7 nannies over there at Rosie’s house,” Rounds told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t want my child to have a nanny. I want her to be outside playing, I want to be with her. I want to go to all the parent conferences … and that’s just not what it’s about over there.”

Rounds says she is a better parent.

“I’m at my daughter’s every beck and call,” Rounds said. “I give her mild discipline instead of like carte blanche, do whatever you want, which is more or less how Rosie likes to do things.”

She also refuted suggestions that she is after Rosie’s money.

“I made my first million before the age of 39, that was before I met Rosie,” she said. “I don’t need Rosie’s money, I don’t want Rosie’s money. … The prenup money means nothing to me. I will walk away from the prenup if Rosie will give me full custody.”

The View alum has four other kids with former partner Kelli Carpenter.
