Honor-able Mention

More 'OK!' magazine pics of the Alba-Warren darling
Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Last week OK! magazine published the first photos of Honor Marie, newborn daughter of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, on the cover and in the pages of their magazine and this week they unveil a few outtake photos that weren’t published in the issue:


What a doll, what a pretty family. Methinks that Honor Marie is going to grow up to be a stunning beauty, much to her father’s chagrin (Cash confessed that he is worried that his daughter may turn out as beautiful as her mother saying, “I want her to look like me, because a daughter looking like Jessica, I’d kill myself!”).

So … do we think that Honor and Levi Alves (this week’s celebrity coverbaby for OK! magazine) might grow up and be destined for one another?

Meet Levi Alves McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey's son makes his debut
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey’s newborn son Levi Alves makes his worldwide debut on the cover of OK! magazine this week. Born on July7th, this is our very first look at the baby boy borne of the beautiful Brazilian model and the crazy ex-party animal … meet Levi Alves:


For Matthew McConaughey and his longtime love Camila Alves, welcoming their first son Levi Alves McConaughey on July 7 was typical of the way the couple handles everything in their lives: easy-going and as a team. And now, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot, the 38-year-old actor opens up about becoming a father for the first time. “We found a great rhythm,” Matthew tells OK! about the delivery of baby Levi. “Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.” Levi was born at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and weighed a healthy 7 lbs., 4 oz., and Matthew tells OK! he kept a detailed diary of his and Camila’s hospital experience. “I have it all chronicled,” he explained. “Becoming a dad is something I’ve dreamed of doing since I was 10. Becoming a father felt very, very natural. We were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let’s go. She just clicked into that gear that only a woman has at a time like this. We’d been up for 40-something hours, and we went from dead tired to a really steadfast, ‘Let’s handle this … let’s stay in the rhythm. Don’t let the contraction be more than you.’” Camila, 25, wanted a natural birth and chose not to have an epidural. But in the end, Matthew told OK! it came down to what was safest for both mom and baby. “We ended up having an epidural because, on the large contractions, the umbilical cord was being compressed. They went in and tried the vacuum. This is where I learned — and no one tells you this — but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild. But the vacuum didn’t work, and the doctor said, ‘C-section.’” The Texas-born actor says he cut the umbilical cord in “one snip” and got to hold his son for the first 15 minutes while doctors worked on Camila. Both he and the Brazilian beauty — who waited to know the sex of their baby — say they were not surprised to find out they had a boy. “I said, ‘Come here, little man. I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],’ Matthew said. “It was neat to find out what the sex was because we didn’t have the doctor tell us beforehand,” Camila agrees. So who does little Levi look more like? “Everybody thinks he looks like me because of the hair and skin tone,” Camila says. “I think he looks more like Matthew every day.” Matthew adds, “I’ve pulled out some baby pictures of myself, and the resemblance is amazing. This kid has a lot to learn from us. I want him to come out being a little wiser, a little cooler and a little happier than we are.”

Awww … it’s sweet the way that Matthew refers to his son’s sex organ as a “pecker”. It’s pretty remarkable how much and how quickly Matthew’s whole persona changed once he found out he was going to be a father. It wasn’t that long ago that he was a womanizing horn dog, partying away the long nights. These days he’s about as straight-laced as they come. I had no idea that Camila was only 25 years old! To be honest, I never thought she looked that young — tho on this cover, she looks about 20. But in any event, I wish much happiness and congrats to the new family. They’ve got themselves a beautiful baby boy and I wish them much love and luck!

Meet Honor Marie Alba-Warren

'OK!' magazine scores another exclusive first
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

OK! magazine has just released our first look at Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s newborn baby girl, Honor Marie, on the cover of their new issue which hits newsstands tomorrow … and here is the little miss along with a portion of the magazine’s coverstory:


“I didn’t scream,” Jessica tells OK! in an exclusive interview and photoshoot. “It was really Zen.” And Cash could only marvel at his wife’s quiet strength when she gave birth. “She didn’t make a sound,” he says. “It was amazing.” Here, the proud pair open their door exclusively to OK!, introducing the adorable Honor Marie Warren. “It hasn’t totally sunk in,” Jessica reveals to OK!. “She dreams, she smiles, and coos and does all these things, but she hasn’t seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she’s connected to the other world, or something. There’s no other way to explain it. It’s a miracle.” The Love Guru star tells OK! that she had natural birth. “The labor was more like meditation,” she says. “I did yoga breathing. I was focused.” Jessica, who tells OK! she ate “a lot of soul food” in the weeks following Honor’s birth, says she’s just now starting to shed the pregnancy pounds. “I started working out last Thursday, but for 20 minutes. I do cardio on my own. I’m doing it slow,” she says. “Now I’m starting to eat more healthy. Because after working out, having fried chicken and mashed potatoes is a little counteractive.” So who does Honor look more like? “She looks like a girl version of me,” Cash says. “She has my nose, my eyebrows and my…” “Forehead and dimples,” Jessica finishes, adding, “She has my mouth when I was a baby. And my ears.” “Maybe Honor is a mixture,” Cash reconsiders. “I want her to look like me, because a daughter looking like Jessica, I’d kill myself!”

Aww … despite Cash’s somewhat creepy comments about his baby daughter (is he implying that he’d find a daughter that “looks like Jessica” too attractive? It’s not clear just what exactly he’s trying to say but it sounds a bit icky), I think she does look like a girl version of him. She certainly has a full head of hair … she’s adorable. I’m anxious to see what the rest of the pics look like.

OK! magazine has really scored the baby coup this summer … next up, they will be releasing the first photos of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’s baby, Levi Alves — and we still don’t know who paid the reported $11 million for the first pics of the Brangelina twins. OK! is really on a roll. Well done.

Is Everything ‘OK’, Casey-Lynn?

Ummm ...
Thursday, July 10th, 2008

The new issue of OK! magazine, which features Jamie Lynn Spears’s newborn baby girl Maddie Briann, is already showing up on newsstands around the country … and here is one of the pics from this latest must own issue which features mother, daughter and father Casey Aldridge:


I, uh, don’t even know exactly what to say … the photo isn’t the best photo of a celebrity baby that I’ve ever seen but Casey-Lynn sure do look happy. I’m absolutely at a loss for the right words to express my feelings. If any of y’all have anything inspiring to comment about this pic, I’d be happy to read them. Make sure you pick up this issue of OK! magazine (on newsstands now) to check out the full set of Maddie Briann Spears-Aldridge photos!

Meet Maddie Briann Spears-Aldridge

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Here it is … our first look at the first photo of Maddie Briann, the first born child of Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge. As you may recall, Mama Lynne Spears brokered a deal with OK! magazine late last year to sell the exclusive story about Jamie Lynn’s unplanned pregnancy, the photos from JL’s baby shower in May and the world exclusive first photos of the baby itself for a reported $1 million dollars … and here she is, the million dollar baby herself, on the cover of this week’s issue of OK! magazine, due out on newsstands tomorrow:


Since giving birth on June 19 to baby girl Maddie Briann Aldridge, Jamie Lynn Spears has taken to doing what any good first time mom would do — making sure her brand new daughter has everything she needs. And, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot, the younger sister of Britney Spears tells OK! that being away from the shining lights of Hollywood is making it all easier to learn the ins and outs of first-time motherhood. “Around here, everyone has the same focus,” Jamie Lynn tells OK!. “The focus is family, and that’s a good way to live.” The 17-year-old actress opens up to OK! about everything — from taking parenting classes to life inside the new home she shares with Maddie and boyfriend Casey Aldridge, to her first experience with labor pains. “They’d told me it would be an eight- to 12-hour labor, and I was ready to have the baby in three to four hours,” Jamie Lynn tells OK!. “I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed.” While the former Zoey 101 star and her fiancé have not yet set a date for their wedding, the couple remains closer than ever. Jamie Lynn, who tells OK! that while her labor was induced, she gave birth naturally and without complications, says that Casey was the one person she wanted in the delivery room with her. “Once I got in there, my doctor was just so calm and so good it was not bad at all,” she says. “I was just talking to Casey. And you know what’s so weird? I was asking him if he was okay. He was like, ‘Yeah.’ We were both so excited.” A baby nursery is set up for little Maddie at the other end of the house, but for now her proud parents like having her next to them at night, so she sleeps in a bassinet in the same room as Jamie Lynn and Casey. “She is very good,” says Jamie Lynn. “She’ll feed every two or three hours. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, I’ll feed her and she goes right back to sleep. There’s no screaming and crying.” The proud mama continues, “We get up in the morning, and she gets her little bath. Then I get my bath. We have a routine, and I love routines. I’ve worked one out with her, and we’re happy going about our little life.”

The full interview and the complete OK! magazine photoshoot of Maddie Briann, her first of a lifetime of photoshoots, will be published in the new issue of the mag which is due on newsstands tomorrow (but may end up in folks’s hands even sooner, depending on where in the country you are). As far as babies go, MB looks very cute and very standard baby-looking. It’s hard to determine which of her parents she looks more like … I hope the OK! photoshoot features pictures of father and daughter for comparison. And so, little Maddie’s life of celebrity kid-dom gets its official start. And, as far as I can tell, Lynne Spears’s deal with OK! magazine is fait accompli — the family provided all of the exclusive access to all things Maddie Briann up until her birth and, presumably, the mag paid up the million bucks. Hurray for Hollywood!! Alls I know is I can’t wait to get my hands on this magazine … I have to see all the pics myself.

Meet Stella Doreen McDermott

She's an 'OK!' kid
Friday, July 4th, 2008

There’s been a lot of buzz going around this week surrounding the new Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off TV series that is set to debut on The CW this Fall. Once the first rumblings started up that Shannen Doherty would be reprising her role as Brenda Walsh on the show things hit a fever pitch as excitement over the show took off. Then we got our first look at what the newly remodeled Peach Pit diner will look like and, well, it’s been a crazy week for fans of BH, 90210. We know that Tori Spelling will also be reprising her role as Donna Martin on the new 90210 but it was announced that her debut on the show would be pushed back into the season due to her recuperation period caused by the recent birth of her baby Stella. And so, let’s take a closer look at the little doll who may be effing with Tori’s career plans but is still cute as a button in her very first OK! magazine photospread:


Almost one year to the day their son Liam was born, Tori Spelling and hubby Dean McDermott got the surprise of their lives when they discovered they were expecting baby number two! Even more exciting, the couple … found out they were having a little girl, something that Tori says she thought she would never experience. Now the couple is talking only to OK! with an exclusive interview about their joyful journey. “She’s a miracle,” Spelling tells OK!. “I was on one pill and wasn’t feeling well, so I went off of it. Two days later, the doctor put me on another, and on that one day, we conceived. It was meant to be!” As OK! exclusively reported, the couple welcomed daughter Stella Doreen into the world on June 9. The infant weighed in at a dainty 6 lbs. 11 oz. and had a full head of beautiful black hair. “My first thought was, ‘My god, she’s so beautiful,’” Tori gushes. “My second thought was, ‘Oh my god, she has black hair! Where did that come from?’ [laughs] Liam has blonde hair and is very fair. She was born with black hair, very tan.” Tori continues, “I never thought I’d have a daughter. Dean’s first child [Jack] is a boy and then we had Liam and I thought, ‘Because I’m so girly-girly, I’ll have all boys.’ ” Dean agrees, adding, “When I saw Stella for the first time, I just bawled my face off out of pure joy. I’ve always heard that there’s nothing like that bond between father and daughter. There is nothing like it — you feel it that moment. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Little boys are awesome. They’re just like a little you. But having a little girl is something else. As a man, you just lose it.”

AWWW … they do make a cute little family (tho, it’s interesting about that baby girl being born with dark hair … HMMM). While I’m not at all interested in any of the reality shows that Tori and Dean have got going on on Oxygen, I am very excited about Tori’s return to 90210. I am very intrigued by what they are going to do with her character … will Brian Austin Green be reprising his role as David Silver, Donna Martin’s main man? Of all of the BH, 90210 men, he’s the one I see most prolly making a return to the show (who knows if Luke Perry, Jason Priestley or Ian Ziering were even asked?). In any event, I hope that Tori enjoys her recuperation time with her newborn daughter Stella … and that she gets back to work soon, this 90210 thing is a priority!
