I honestly never thought I’d see the day but alas, the day has come! Our super-famous, super-fabulous and super-over-the-top parents-to-be Kim Kardashian and her beau, Kanye West, have done the absolute unthinkable. The couple, who will become first-time parents in July, have asked for something so outrageous for their baby that just hearing the news actually made me dizzy.

Now, I knew the day would eventually come when Kimye finally put together a registry for their baby-to-be, but bless their hearts, I was not prepared for what would be on the couple’s list.

Perez Hilton and TMZ are reporting that Kim and Yeezy have officially created baby’s registry — and that the couple has reportedly told all of their friends, family and well-wishers that  they do not wish to receive any gifts and would instead like donations to be made to a charity. Say what?! And even though the couple apparently didn’t request donations go to any one place in particular, it’s reported that they did suggest the Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, which was where Kanye grew up.

I can’t even tell you how happy, excited and proud I am that the two-some opted to have their friends donate to charity instead of seizing the opportunity to stock up on lavish gifts. Though Kim has every right to have a registry, it’s really sweet to see her maternal instincts take over and to know they’ve giving back to other children in need. All the rest, well, it’s no surprise they can fund it themselves!

Kudos, Kimye and Kimbryo! We are proud of you!

8 Things No One Tells You About Motherhood

These royals, y’all. I can’t keep up with them. One minute Kate Middleton and Prince William are having a baby boy and the next, they’re planning to call their baby girl “Princess“. But it looks like the royal guessing game might finally be over! (Thank Heavens, ’cause my heart can’t take much more.)

Reportedly, a royal insider spilled the beans that if Will and Kate have a boy, they’ve already got a named picked out.

According to the Daily Star, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have picked Philip as baby boy’s moniker, and it’s every ounce as sweet as the reported name pick they’ve made for baby girl, should they have a ‘she’ instead of a ‘he’.

The name is, of course, a nod to Prince William’s grandfather, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, and it’s also a testament to William’s full name, too: Prince William Arthur Philip. But it doesn’t stop there, either. Will’s dad, Charles, is also named Charles Philip Arthur George. So, if baby is to follow the royal flush, his name would be: Philip William Charles Arthur, after his great-grandfather, daddy and grandfather.

I’m actually quite partial to Philip. It’s sweet, elegant, graceful and it works for a baby boy as well as grown man. It’s a name with weight and value. Though I don’t love the nickname “Phil”, I could get used to it — for royalty, that is.

And as the race for baby’s name heats up (and Kate’s due date draws nearer), the bookies are placing their own bets. Odds in England are 20:1 on the name Philip. No words are what the going rate is baby girl‘s name… but there’s still time for the bets to roll out on that one!

Place your bets, Bumpies: Do you think it will be Philip for a boy?

What Will William and Kate’s Baby Look Like?

Oh, mama! Kerri Walsh Jennings became a third time mama over the weekend, welcoming her beautiful baby girl, Scout Margery, into the world on Saturday, April 6th.

The mama, who opted for another natural birth (her third!), said that she and her husband feel “so blessed to have this beautiful new addition to our family. We cherish out lil Scout already and can’t wait to watch her as she grows in this world alongside her sweet big brothers.” Baby girl Scout joins Joey, 3, and Sundance, 2.

While mama and babe are “healthy and resting” in the hospital, mom and dad sent a special thank you to all of their fans and well-wishers, adding that they “appreciate them all so very much.” And now that mom’s brought another beautiful baby into the world, she’s got her eyes on another gold! She said, “It’s always been my dream in life to be a working mom and have this amazing career,” and since she’s got both down to a science, it’s time to focus on the 2016 Olympic games. “My husband and I want to keep playing and go for the gold in Rio,” she said. Seriously — this woman can do it all, y’all!

But let’s focus on baby’s girl’s moniker for a minute, shall we? It’s not your average name, but personally, I love, love, LOVE it. It’s sweet, timeless and a nod to one of the most powerful books ever written, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, by my girl, Harper Lee. No word on whether or not Kerri was inspired by the book, but still, I can’t help hearing the name without thinking of how courageous and ahead-of-its-time Lee’s story truly was. The novel is a story that stays with every generation that reads it — it transcends time and generation… and I think it’s the perfect match for a baby girl who’s got such strong parents raising her. Kudos, mom and dad! We love it.

In fact, we love it so much, we’ve got a few more baby names inspired by some of the most poignant novels of our time:

Corrine — “The Color Purple”

Daisy – “The Great Gatsby”

Elinor — “Sense and Sensibility”

Josephine — “Little Women”

Leona — “Love in the Time of Cholera”

Adele — “The Awakening”

Annemarie — “Number the Stars”

Lydia — “Pride and Prejudice”

Mayella — “To Kill a Mockingbird”

Pearl – “The Scarlet Letter”

Atticus – “To Kill a Mockingbird”

Conrad — “Much Ado About Nothing”

Holden — “The Catcher in the Rye”

Darrell — “The Outsiders”

Huck — “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”

Phineas — “A Separate Peace”

Archer – “The Age of Innocence”

Finch — “To Kill a Mockingbird”

Oh heavens, y’all! As if the world can handle another beautiful baby right now, Halle Berry is reportedly expecting a baby with her fiance Olivier Martinez!

The star, who is already mama to daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry, is reportedly more than three months along and is “elated” to be expanding her adorable brood! What’s more? Hal’s apparently got a baby BOY bun cookin’ in that oven!

Previously, Halle has admitted that her growing baby girl, Nahla, has been asking for a sibling, specifically a baby sister. She said, on The Wendy Williams Show, “Every night we pray to God, and she’s so sweet. She says, ‘God please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister.’ And I say, ‘I can do one of those things, I know for sure! The other one we have to keep praying on’ What do you say to her when she wants that and can’t understand why God’s taking so long, you know?” Ugh girl, I know! I’ve been asking for frog-turned-prince for ages but the delay is taking so long!

And the second-time mama-to-be has no fears about her parenting skills at age 46. She said, “I’m a much better mother at 46 or 41, when I had her, than if I were 21 or 25. I was just a little baby, just trying to figure it out, trying to figure out who I was, let alone have the responsibility of trying to help another little soul develop and grow. I’m so glad I waited.” And Halle’s right. Regardless of when everyone else thinks you should start your family, she did what was best for herself and her family and that’s really all that matters.

I’m pretty sure mama-to-be Kailyn Lowry would agree with me when I say no one — absolutely no one! — in Celebrityville can keep a secret these days. Especially when that secret is a bun in the oven!

According to Us Weekly, a multiple sources close to Kailyn and her husband Javi Marroquin reveal that the pair are making way for a baby! A family source said, “Kail is pregnant.” Well I’ll be! Baby-on-board will join Kailyn’s adorable son, Isaac, 3, from her previous relationship with ex-boyfriend, Jo Rivera.

The Teen Mom star and her husband tied the knot in September after a year of dating. The source who spilled the beans also fesses up that Kailyn and Javi are “overjoyed to give Isaac a sibling!”

Let’s face it: babymaking isn’t a breeze. Maybe it takes you a day, a week — a year — or several to see the line on a pregnancy test shift from blue to pink. But when the old fashioned way isn’t working for you and you’re considering your options, there’s one place you can look to for support: Hollywood! I know, okay? I know Hollywood isn’t the place many of us search for inspiration in these times but just hear me out on this one…

Now more than ever, celebrity couples are candidly sharing their stories with other men and women who are struggling to conceive. These Hollywood A, B and C-listers have all made their dreams of a family possible by using a surrogate or gestational carrier.

From Giuliana Ranic and Matt Bomer to Elizabeth Banks and Sarah Jessica Parker, these stars are sharing their families with us.
