As you might expect, Matthew McConaughey herded up his little family and took them out for a day of relaxation at their home-away-from-home — the beach! Here are pics of Matthew, a very pregs Camila Alves and their first born child Levi Alves at a beach in Malibu, CA yesterday afternoon:

Labor Day or not, the McConaugheys really love spending time at the beach so it’s not really surprising in the least that they would make yesterday a beach day. It is always really fun seeing photos of Matthew spending time with his baby boy … they make an adorable couple. Very soon, Camila will be bringing forth the fruit of her loins and their little family will be a wee bit bigger and, most likely, a whole lot cuter. Aren’t they just the cutest?

Over the weekend we saw photos of Matthew McConaughey and his first born son Levi Alves enjoying a day at the beach together and today we get to see a couple more beachy pics but this time with mama Camila Alves and her burgeoning baby bump. Here are pics of Camila, Matthew and their 1 1/2 kids in Malibu, CA yesterday:

While none of them look all too happy, they still make a very cute family. I’m still amazed at how much Matthew has settled down since he started his family with Camila. Seeing him carry around his son is just the cutest thing … and it’s very nice seeing Camila growing another baby in her womb. All this baby makin’ going on … I wonder who’s next.

In late June, Matthew McConaughey announced to the world on his official blog that he and babymama Camila Alves are expecting their second child together. As you should be well aware, Matthew and Camila welcomed the birth of their first child, Levi Alves, in July 2008 and now the couple are expecting baby #2. Here are a few pics of our first look at Camila out and about showing off baby bump #2:

As you can see, Camila has a tiny little bump … so she must be pretty early in her pregnancy. I seem to recall that she got kinda big when she was carrying Levi last year. I imagine she’ll be blowin’ up soon ;) Matthew and Camila have a great track record for making cute babies so I can’t wait to see the fruits of this new labor. Wouldn’t it be great if they had a little girl? But, to be honest, my guess is they’re having another baby boy. I get the feeling that Matthew McConaughey’s seed will bring forth lots of male children. Whatever the case may be, I’m looking forward to keepin’ a close bump watch on Ms. Camila Alves.

Congratulations are in order for Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves who, according to a new blogpost published on Matthew’s official website, are expecting their second child together. As you may recall, the couple welcomed the birth of their firstborn son Levi Alves last Summer (who we first met on the cover of OK! magazine) … and Matthew used the occasion of Father’s Day yesterday to break the news to the world that Camila is pregs with their second child. Here is a pic of the happy couple together earlier this month and the full text of Matthew’s announcement blogpost:

“Happy Father’s Day. It’s my first, and the last 11 months with Levi and Camila have been the most rewarding adventure to date. We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father’s Day that makes this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother … Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time. Camila and are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows, and we thank you for all the well wishes you send out way. Viva la evolucion, naturally, and in the mean times and all time, just keep livin, Matthew and Camilia.”

Aww … well good for them. I suppose it shouldn’t be too surprising that all of these celebs are spawning so soon after the birth of their first children (Gwen Stefani did it, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are doing it … now Camila and Matthew) so that their children can grow up close in age. I know that many of our parents had their children very close together in age … it’s just a bit weird to know all the celebs are doing it, too. It looks like the celeb baby boon is still very much alive … congrats to the expecting happy couple!

Yesterday we saw a couple pics of Matthew McConaughey doin’ a bit of workin’ out in Malibu, CA this weekend and I commented on how it’s been an ice age since Matthew decided to ditch the shirt and let see how all that workin’ out has been, well, workin’ out for him. It seems as if the gods above heard my comments cuz Matthew got inspired to take his family to the beach … and leave his shirt behind:

Now that’s more like it. Sure, in the good ol’ days of his bachelorhood, the sight of Matthew’s shirtlessness would be a very common occurrence … but now that he’s all settled down, that doesn’t mean he can share the beefcake every once-in-a-while. The pics of Matthew with babymama Camila Alves and firstborn son Levi Alves are really adorable. They make a very cute family. But cute family or not, I hope this shirtlessness is but a start of a long, happy and fleshy Summer to come ;)

Matthew McConaughey, his babymama Camila Alves and their young son Levi Alves made their way to the Malibu Pier in Malibu, CA over the weekend to attend The MaliBLUE Art & Music Festival as a happy little family. As you can see from the photos, Matthew let Camila carry Levi for most of the time most likely because little Levi likes to pee on his father every chance he gets:

Matthew McConaughey’s son loves peeing on him. The ‘Ghosts of Girlfriends Past’ actor claims nine-month-old Levi – his son with his Brazilian girlfriend Camila Alves – is always delighted when he manages to squirt him with urine at changing time. He said: “Yes, I’ve changed diapers and yes, Levi has peed on me – more than a few times to both. He gets the joke when he pees on me. He laughs. He laughs his butt off! I think I am good at changing diapers. I could have a race-off with some other dads out there.” Despite his son’s penchant for soaking him, Matthew loves being a parent. The 39-year-old actor says becoming a father has helped him find joy in life, explaining just seeing his son smile makes him happy. He revealed to People magazine: “The coolest thing I’ve learned from Levi is kids really remind you of your sense of humour. Like I was just saying, they pee on you and they’re just laughing and all of sudden you’re reminded of having a sense of humour about everything. You can watch Levi, and everything he sees is for the first time, so you see the wonder in something we see every day.”

LMAO! But I gotta say, I bet this isn’t the first time that Matthew has been peed on before … but it is prolly the first time he’s admitted as much in the press. In any event, I love seeing new photos of Matthew out with his new family … Camila and Levi have really sorted out his partyboy behavior.

Altho I’m not a Country Music fan by any means, the 2009 Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV last night attracted their fair share of non-Country Music folks to get my attention … and also clued me into the fact that the amazing Carrie Underwood (my Oklahoma homegirl) had herself a pretty spectacular night at this year’s ACMs (as did Taylor Swift, whose talent also impresses me). Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals last night (you will note that LeAnn Rimes showed up all by herself as her hubby was nowhere to be seen … Miley Cyrus was also flying solo, leaving manfriend Justin Gaston at home) along with a couple photos of Carrie and Taylor proudly hoisting up their two ACM awards in the press room last night:

The 44th Academy of Country Music Awards swung political, personal, playful and patriotic on Sunday and ultimately opted for popular in bestowing its top honor on “American Idol” winner Carrie Underwood, naming her entertainer of the year over veteran male performers George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban. “I’ve had a lot of good moments in the past four years,” the Oklahoma-born Underwood said at the climax of the three-hour event at the MGM Grand Arena, “but this one takes the cake.” The award was determined for the second year by popular vote during the show at CBS.com instead of being determined as it had been in past years by the performer who sold the most concert tickets during the previous 12 months, which would have given a fifth title to Chesney. But the ACM, in striving to boost ratings and make the event more interactive for fans, opened the voting for entertainer and new artist to the public. That helped TV-friendly faces such as Underwood and former “Dancing With the Stars”-turned-country singer Julianne Hough, who took home the new artist trophy. It was a big night as well for Internet-savvy teen phenom Taylor Swift, who sold more albums in 2008 than any other artist in any genre, passing 5 million. Her overwhelming success contributed to her sophomore album, “Fearless,” which has topped 3 million since its release in November, being named album of the year. The giddy singer and songwriter from Pennsylvania clapped her hands over her mouth and danced in her signature cowgirl boots upon learning she’d been chosen by the academy’s 4,000 voting members over Strait, Underwood, duo Montgomery Gentry and newcomer Jamey Johnson … The CBS telecast also looked to give more fans … to latch on to with a performance by Miley Cyrus, timed to plug the new “Hannah Montana” movie, even though the daughter of country singer and actor Billy Ray Cyrus wasn’t nominated for any awards. Tough economic times coupled with strong sentiment over the war in Iraq figured into two of the night’s most powerful musical performances. John Rich, half of the duo Big & Rich, sang a solo version of his new single “Shuttin’ Detroit Down” that elicited cheers several times from the 11,000 fans in the MGM Grand Arena as he railed against federal bailouts to troubled corporations while family farms continue to fail by the thousands. U.S. troops got a salute from Trace Adkins as he was joined by the West Point Glee Club with a new song recognizing what soldiers have sacrificed from the Civil War through the ongoing fighting in Afghanistan. The ACM announced that proceeds from the downloadable version of the performance will go to Wounded Warrior, a Florida-based organization the helps injured troops once they return home. Jamey Johnson’s “In Color,” an homage to those who weathered the Depression, fought in World War II and sustained long-term marriages, was named song of the year. Johnson’s album “That Lonesome Song,” which has drawn comparisons to the work of Waylon Jennings and others of the ’70s country Outlaw movement, had been chosen 2008’s best by a poll of country music critics. Reba McEntire hosted the show for the 11th year.

While I do not consider myself a Country Music fan per se, I still have a small place in my heart for the genre due to my years spent living in Oklahoma. Down there, you can’t escape Country Music so it’s best to just enjoy it for what it is — emotionally driven, heartfelt songs that have a pretty good way of tearing at heartstrings in order to illicit a response. I’m not ashamed to admit that I have my fave songs. I am prolly Carrie Underwood’s biggest fan who doesn’t own any of her albums. I have a few tracks but I’m most impressed with her singing abilities overall. She is truly the best thing to come from American Idol since Kelly Clarkson. I’m so happy that she continues to enjoy so much success. She’s a woman who works hard for what she has, it’s great to see her being successful. Taylor Swift, as well, strikes me as a very talented girl. The thing that I prolly like most about Country Music is that it is a genre that’s really driven by talent. Many of the biggest Country Music stars can play instruments … which cannot be said for a lot of pop/rock or rap musicians.

While all eyes were on the Country Music stars on the red carpet, there were quite a few celebs who showed up at the awards that have nothing at all really to do with Country Music as a craft. As you can see above, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves were in attendance and I understand that comedian Carrot Top was there as well. Additionally, new celeb couple Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy chose the ACM Awards as their official coming out party as a couple:

I find it curious that they were both wearing all white … could they be trying to tell us something? The night wasn’t without it’s own drama as well … Tim McGraw ended up pulling out of performing on the show at the very last minute due to reported “problems” with production. See, even Country Music has their own divas. In any event, much congrats goes out to all the winners at this year’s ACM Awards!
