    • Lynne Spears took time off from writing her book to focus on troubled daughter Britney. - VWR-Bope-MBF/X17 OnlineRight around the time when it was announced that Lynne Spears was penning a book about bringing up her two famous daughters, Britney's life was continuing to unravel and 16-year-old Jamie Lynn got pregnant. Not exactly the best PR for a book on parenting! As a result, plans to release it were put on hold.

      Now a rep for Lynne's publisher tells People that "Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" should be in bookstores this September. Like many folks, I rolled my eyes when I heard that Lynne Spears was writing a parenting book. Why in the world would I ever want to pick up mothering tips from her? Fortunately, Thomas Nelson Inc., which also publishes inspirational works and Bibles, insists that "Through the Storm" is not about parenting, but a "story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. She wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes."

      I obviously have no idea what growing up in

    • Carnie Wilson Expecting Baby No. 2!

      Carnie Wilson and her husband Rob Bonfiglio can't wait to become parents for a second time! - Ron Wolfson/WireImage.comCarnie Wilson and her musician hubby, Rob Bonfiglio, are expecting their second child in June. The former Wilson Phillips singer/reality star, who shed 150 pounds after undergoing gastric-bypass surgery, shared the good news with OK! magazine.

      While her 3-year-old daughter Lola is hoping for a baby brother, Carnie tells OK! she can't stop thinking about twins. "My sister had twins; my grandmother was a twin, and my grandmother's aunt had twins," she reveals. "I had my first ultrasound and we only saw one sac, but it's not confirmed that it's not two because one could be hiding in back of the other. We'll see!"

    • Laid-back parents Cash Warren and Jessica Alba do some shopping at the Century City mall. - INFDaily.comBeing a new mom is stressful stuff, but Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren claim they're going to take a laid-back approach to parenting their month-old daughter Honor Marie.

      "Kids' personalities have so much to do with the parents and their mentality," the 27-year-old actress told Britain's Sunday Express for their S Magazine. "If you're a little more laid-back and make your kids responsible for their actions, you'll probably have an easier time with them. I guess I'll find out." Indeed.

      When she's not out shopping, the "Fantastic Four" star has been researching children's health issues and has taken a stance against vaccinations.

      "I've been reading a lot about kids and infections, autism and vaccinations," explained the actress, who reportedly suffered from health issues as a child herself. "I've come to think that perhaps I was a product of my environment or the vaccines or something my mother took when she was pregnant."

      Next week, Goddess will feature an interview with

    • Ashlee and Pete’s Bronx Baby

      Will Pete and Ashlee's baby boy grow up to be a rock star or a senator? - Kevin Mazur/WireImage.comAshlee Simpson finally gave birth on Thursday night! It seemed like she had been pregnant forever. Anyway ... everyone in my office was waiting with bated breath to find out what she and her hubby Pete Wentz would name their first child. A few weeks ago, the Fall Out Boy told Ryan Seacrest that he and Ashlee didn't want to name the baby 'til they met him, but they were planning to pick a moniker that would be fitting for "a rock star or a senator, so he'll get work either way."

      If that's the case, then why did the couple end up naming their son Bronx Mowgli? They named him after a New York City borough and the kid who was raised by wolves in the "Jungle Book"! I know David and Victoria Beckham named their first-born Brooklyn, which is kind of cute, but Bronx?

      Maybe I could understand it if Pete and Ashlee were native New Yorkers and wanted to honor their old 'hood, but Pete grew up in Chicago, and Ashlee is from Texas. Oh, well. celebrity baby names certainly give us something to talk

    • Katie and Suri’s Day at the Park

      Katie Holmes took a break from rehearsing for her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" to spend an afternoon playing with daughter Suri in a New York City park. The chic mom was sporting her new Rihanna-esque cut. I was on the fence about the new 'do, but in a casual setting it's totally cute, not to mention very practical for a mom with a toddler. I'm not too sure about the rolled-up jeans, but I guess 80s fashions are back.

      Suri, as always, is cute as can be. This little girl's got some style! I love the gold ballet flats. But uh-oh, there's that bottle again. Back in May we asked if you thought Suri, at 2 years old, was too old to still use a bottle. With over 100,000 votes, more than half of you think it's time for her to ditch it.

      I just think it's cute to see a mom out enjoying a summer day with her kid.

    • Nicole and Harlow Take Manhattan

      Nicole Richie bundled up her baby girl Harlow for a day in the big city! - Jackson Lee/Tom Meinelt/Splash NewsAlthough Nicole Richie was busy making the rounds at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, she did make some time to hang with her baby girl Harlow. According to "The Insider," the dynamic duo was spotted hitting up a McDonald's drive thru before heading off to the Chelsea Piers gym. Gotta work off that Happy Meal!

      The adorable 1-year-old has quickly become one of my favorite celebrity tots. When I look at this picture of Harlow in her fuzzy hat and furry coat, it just makes me smile.

    • Gwen and Her Boys Hit the Slopes in Style

      Oh how I love the Stefani-Rossdales! The always stylish Gwen (in Dior ski boots) and her husband Gavin were spotted on the slopes this past weekend giving their son Kingston a ski lesson. I guess 3-month-old baby Zuma must have been enjoying a cup of hot cocoa in the lodge!

      The family was in Utah because Gavin was performing at the 17th Annual Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest. The event, which brings stars from television, film, and the Olympic games together, also raises funds for the Waterkeeper Alliance and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team.

      You can check out highlights from the fest December 21 on CBS, but for now just enjoy the photos of Gwen and her men.

    • Kimora and Her Kiddies

      It looks like Kimora Lee Simmons' daughters Aoki Lee and Ming Lee have welcomed Djimon Hounsou into their family with open arms. - Anthony Monterotti/PacificCoastNews.comExpectant parents Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons took her daughters Ming Lee (9) and Aoki Lee (6) shopping at the Century City mall in Los Angeles the other day. Although the little girls are very close with their dad, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, they seem to have taken a liking to their mom's boyfriend Djimon. That's a good thing since he's going to be the father of their new baby brother or sister! (Rumor has it that Kimora is expecting a boy.)

      When Usmagazine.com caught up with the "Life in the Fab Lane" star during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Simmons revealed that one of her pregnancy cravings has been pizza. "On the way to the [Barbie] show, I had to have a slice of pizza -- New York pizza," she noted. "I think I'm going to have another one after the show, too." And why not? She is eating for two these days!

    • Heidi and Seal’s Day at Disneyland

      Heidi, Seal, and their three children take a spin on the tea cups at Disneyland. - PacificCoastNews.comHeidi Klum and Seal took their three adorable children -- Leni (4), Henry (who will turn 3 on September 12), and Johan (19 months) -- to Disneyland on Tuesday. The supercouple must really love the theme park as they celebrated Seal's 45th birthday in February at the Happiest Place on Earth as well. Perhaps they have a season pass?

      The family gets the VIP treatment from a Disney tour guide. - PacificCoastNews.com

      This time around the family opted to get a VIP tour guide, which is the only way to go when you're Heidi Klum and Seal. I can't imagine how crazy it must be to hit up a theme park as a celebrity, with fans coming at you from all directions, but I suppose you do what you've got to do for the kids. In spite of their hectic work schedules, Heidi and Seal really do seem to put their children first and I admire them for that.

    • Tori Battles Post-Baby Bulge

      Tori Spelling looked fab at a recent event in Los Angeles. - Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic.comI've been a Tori Spelling fan ever since the bells of West Beverly High rang for the first time back in 1990. Now she's become one of my favorite Hollywood moms! The actress has two children: Liam (19 months) and Stella, who was born June 9 of this year.

      Growing up as the daughter of one of the richest and most powerful TV producers ever, it's surprising how down-to-earth she seems. If you've ever seen her reality show with hubby Dean McDermott, then you know she doesn't live the ultra-luxurious lifestyle one would expect from a Spelling.

      In her typical, self-deprecating style, Tori opened up to In Touch Weekly and revealed how hard it has been for her to lose the 40 pounds she gained while pregnant with baby number two. So what's the most shocking thing about her weight loss plan? She's doing it like any other mom who doesn't have the means to hire a personal chef, a team of nannies, and a personal trainer. Check it out:
