All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
- Did you know there’s a Spice Girls Musical going on in London? And that the Beckhams were at the premiere looking flawless? I can’t decide if I wish I was in this family, or if I fear this family. (Suri’s Burn Book)
- Pink and her daughter Willow, 1, looked adorable leaving a toy store this week. Do we think Pink feels weird about the fact that she mostly wears black and her daughter mostly wears pink? (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Mark Feuerstein was raised Jewish, but here’s a picture of him and his three kids with Santa. This makes me kind of uncomfortable, at least partly because this is the least convincing Santa I’ve ever seen. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- I always love pictures of Liev Shreiber carting Kai 4, and Sasha, 5, around NYC on a bike, though I wish Liev would sport a helmet, too. (People)

All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
- Tori Spelling, her husband Dean, and their five kiddos, Jack, Liam, Stella, Hattie, and Finn, spent Thanksgiving at a hotel on the beach. Looks like they had fun, but it seems kind of sad to spend Thanksgiving in a sterile hotel (even if it is on the beach). (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Bethenny Frankel went for a swim with daughter Bryn, and shared a story about how Bryn serenaded the people on a recent plane trip with the ABCs. When she finished they all clapped and cheered. Awww. (Also: people being nice to kids on an airplane? This sounds made up.) (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- New mom Drew Barrymore and her Jewish husband Will Kopelman brought newborn Olive out for her first doctor’s appointment. Adorbs. (US Weekly)
- Pink and her one-year-old daughter Willow were out on a playground this week. I am most jealous of how not cold it looks in these pictures. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
- Pink and her daughter Willow wore matching striped pants this week. I did not have Pink pegged as a matching clothes mom, but then, I also didn’t know she had a kid until ten minutes ago. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Elizabeth Banks, who converted to Judaism to marry her husband Max Handelman, just had their second child via a surrogate. Magnus Mitchell Handelman joins their 20-month-old son Felix, also from a gestational surrogate. (US Weekly)
- Party of Five actor and Member of the Tribe Scott Wolf and his wife Kelley Limp just had their second son, Miller William Wolf, who joins Jackson, 3, in the family. (US Weekly)
- And finally, controversy-prone Alicia Silverstone was out on the town with her son Bear Blu this week. His face was adorably messy, and both were all smiles. (Hollymoms)

I just read Melissa Langasam Braunstein’s defense of pink and purple, and it got me thinking about my own fear of dressing my baby girls in pink. When I was pregnant, the thought of having girls terrified me. I rode the subway to work every day and cringed at the young girls headed to school wearing skin-tight jeans and low cut shirts. I watched girls who couldn’t be more than 12 or 13 wearing makeup, flipping their hair, trying to look hot. I remember wearing sweatpants to school and spending entire summers with my hair in a ponytail. That is what I wanted for my daughters. Or at least, some sort of a balance. I would sit there and agonize about how we were going to keep our girls from feeling like they have to dress provocatively to be noticed. Should we just raise them in a bunker upstate?

I wasn’t one of those people who wanted to wait until the day my baby was born to find out the gender. So the day Lila was born was exhilarating–and exhausting–but the birth drama never included the doctor’s calling out, “It’s a Girl!” The delivering doctor didn’t need to, since we already knew. And since that time, I’ve made an effort to ensure everyone else knows, too.
Last spring, I invited pink and purple into our home in a big way. I know another mother who is glad she had a boy, so she doesn’t have to live amidst a pink explosion, but I rather like it. Read the rest of this entry →
