- Musician Lisa Loeb, who is pregnant with her second child, shares how they broke the baby news to her 2-year-old Lyla. Loeb writes: “Along the way, our daughter said, ‘I have a baby in my belly,’ so I think the concept is still a little hard to grasp.” (People)
- How did Tori Spelling get pregnant with her fourth child a mere months after giving birth to her third? “She’s just super fertile,” explains husband Dean McDermott. Well there you go. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Here’s a cute shot of Bethenny Frankel and her daughter Bryn, but let’s be honest, the real star here is that chocolate chip cookie. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
- Is Natalie Portman secretly married? This is the question on many people’s minds as both the actress and Benjamin Millipied were spotted with some bling on their ring fingers at the Oscars. Just tell us, Natalie! I promise I won’t be mad that you didn’t invite me. (Famecrawler)
- Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted picking up twins Tabitha and Loretta from their preschool in New York City. Ridiculously adorable pictures ensue. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Mayim Bialik gets a huge feature in Celebrity Baby Scoop, in which they interviewed her about the upcoming release of her book Beyond the Sling. The interview includes such gems as, “I promise you I’m a very normal person – I clean my own toilets and everything.” (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Celebrity bikini shots are always depressing to us normal-bodied folk, but at least these ones of Bethenny Frankel in South Beach include her cute 2-year-old Byrn in a heart-filled suit. (Famecrawler)

- The first public photo of former NY Congressman Anthony Weiner with his 2-month-old Jordan have been released, and he sure looks like one proud baby-wearing dad! Sometimes, it’s nice to forget that you’ve been involved in a horrible sex scandal. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Remember when Drew Barrymore announced that she was converting to Judaism for fiance Will Kopelman and we said we hope that means they’ll make some future Jewish babies?! It might be happening already!! (And yes, we realize this is horribly invasive and we should respect their privacy, but whatcha gonna do.) (TMZ)
- Finally, Melissa Rivers opens up about her mother’s marijuana addiction. Ok, not really, but she did say Joan once got a prescription for medical marijuana because of stressful house guests. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Sometimes we like to make fun of reality stars like Bethenny Frankel, but when she opens up about the health repercussions she’s experienced after having a miscarriage–”I have a hole in my heart and my esophagus. But it’s okay — I’m feeling good”–we’ve got to give the girl some credit. (Famecrawler)

- Here’s is the part where we decide that Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s kids are Jewish: Ethan’s mom, Leslie Hawke, just married David Weiss, a nice Jewish lawyer from Boston. Also, Uma, whose father raised her Buddhist, has a maternal grandfather who was a German military officer who was jailed by the Nazis for protecting Jewish friends. So, Maya and Levon (Ethan and Uma’s kids), Clementine and Indiana (Ethan and second wife Ryan’s [who used to be Maya and Levon's NANNY!!] kids), welcome to the sort-of-tribe. (NYT)
- Well isn’t this just charming: Jewish dads Jonathon Safran Foer (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Everything is Illuminated) and Ben Stiller (you know) are teaming up to make a Jewish family comedy for HBO. The show claims to be “politically, religiously, culturally, intellectually and sexually irreverent,” so look out. (Hollywood Reporter)
- Jason Schwartzman and family took a stroll in Studio City on Monday. They did a good job covering up 1-year-old Marlowe, but you can totally catch a great glimpse of Arrow, the dog. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- And finally, the news we’ve all been waiting for: Bethenny Frankel is getting her own talk show. The reality star has stated that, “I am ready to start discussing the topics that are most important to my fans.” Now taking all bets on what you think those are. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

- Winter time brings the added bonus of bundling your kids in the cutest jackets, scarves, and hats you can find. Exhibit A, above, features Sarah Jessica Parker with her 2-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha in matching grey coats. Maybe it’s just because there’s two of them, but I find this pretty cute. (Famecrawler)
- Isla Fisher went with a matching pink sweater and cap when bundling up Elula for a trip to a children’s gym in West Hollywood. Now, I just looked up the weather for West Hollywood and it doesn’t seem to be dipping below the 60s, but it’s nice to see her get into the winter spirit, nonetheless. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- New Yorkers Bethenny Frankel and Bryn Hoppy (how did I not know that was her last name until now??) were out and about, with Bryn in a fur-lined hooded coat, red-nosed and all. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Rachel Zoe and family were all sweaters and hats and scarves in Los Angeles (again, completely unnecessary), with baby Skyler in a sophisticated patterned scarf and white knit cap. Now I may be going out on a limb here, but does anybody else think Rachel’s necklace looks like a giant dreidel? No, just me? Cool. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

- Kids in costumes! They’re the best. Apparently the Parker-Broderick clan have no problem with being Jewish and celebrating Halloween, as evidenced by the lamb and some sort of fruit or flower seen above. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Tori Spelling also joined the trick-or-treat club with her costumed kids, featuring Liam (4) as a ninja tranformer (?!) and Stella (3) as a witch. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Bethenny Frankel dresed up as Hello Kitty for Halloween, a costume that would probably be cuter on her daughter but ok, whatever, let her have her fun. (Famecrawler)
- David Arquette was the latest celebrity to be kicked off Dancing With the Stars. This isn’t particularly Halloween related, but it is kind of scary that a Jewish dad made it all the way to week 7. (CBS)

- Saul Hudson, i.e. Slash from Guns N’ Roses, renewed his wedding vows with Perla Hudson for their 10-year anniversary. It’s all very sweet and their kids London and Cash were involved but don’t think I’m going to end this sentence without pointing out THAT HAT. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Bethenny Frankel’s baby girl Bryn is officially a vegetarian at 15 months old. As some sort of reasoning, Frankel states, “As a child, I ate sushi, escargot, venison — anything and everything. I wasn’t squeamish about food, and I’m proud to say that I’ve never ordered off of a children’s menu in my entire life.” (Us Weekly)
- The lineup for next season’s Dancing With the Stars has been posted, and I spotted 2 Jewish parents on the list: David Arquette and Ricki Lake. If they dance anything like how Jewish parents dance at Bar Mitzvahs, America will have some treat on our hands. (Babyrazzi)
- Adam Sandler was spotted on wheels, with a ride-a-long carrying his girls Sunny and Sadie behind his bike. I enjoy the supplementary picture in which his wife is riding a bike while carrying what I presume to be a phone in her mouth. Mutli-tasking! (Babyrazzi)

- David Schwimmer booked it out of NYC with his wife Zoe and their new daughter Cleo, who were spotted at JFK on Thursday. Seems he was taking extra measures to shield Cleo from her first hurricane. (PopSugar)
- Bethenny Frankel took a break from filming “Bethenny Ever After” to do some light shopping at Prada in SoHo. Word on the street is that this season of her Bravo reality show may be its last, but fear not! She is moving forward with talk show plans! (Babyrazzi)
- Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig have not ruled out having kids, adding to Rachel’s 5-year-old son Henry and Daniel’s 19-year-old daughter Ella. Honestly, I had no idea the two were married, but maybe that’s because of their “very private courtship.” (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- We’ve had a TV debate here between Mayim Bialik and Neal Pollack, and now yet another TV star turned Jewish mom is weighing in: Tori Spelling. She’s not talking about letting her kids watch TV, though–she’s worried about what it does to her marriage. (LilSugar)

- Selma Blair looked awfully happy taking her new baby Arthur out for a walk in Hollywood. I’m sort of confused by this picture though–after staring long and hard, I still cannot figure out what that white thingie she’s holding is. Thoughts? Anyone? (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Reality TV star Bethenny Frankel does some mommy and me yoga with Bryn, who even has her own little yoga mat, which makes the 1-year-old officially in better shape than me. (Babyrazzi)
- Paul Stanley of KISS fame welcomed his fourth child into the world, Emily Grace. Mazel! (Babyrazzi)
- Aw, having kids really is a good idea. Tori Spelling credits her kids Liam & Stella for mending the relationship with her own mother, Candy Spelling. Tori and Candy’s feud was made public years ago, but now that the kids are old enough to ask for Grandma, they seem to be one big happy family. (People)
