SCOTT DISICK DEFENDS HIMSELF: ‘KOURTNEY’S FAMILY KNOWS I’VE CHANGED’

Nov 18, 2009 by BabySwags

In his first interview, Scott talks to Life & Style about how the baby has changed his life
PLUS his plans for a future with Kourtney

Since news of Kourtney Kardashian’s pregnancy first broke over the summer, the baby’s father, Scott Disick, has remained noticeably silent. Now with just weeks to go until the baby is born, he’s decided to speak out. Making a dramatic surprise appearance at Kourtney’s baby shower, he lovingly sat next to his expectant girlfriend and opened up to Life & Style.

L&S: Are you grateful this happened?
Scott: The pregnancy was a blessing. It’s our time to be together and start sharing a new life.

L&S: How has it changed you?
Scott: I was a bit young when I met Kourtney. Now I know that I’ve grown as a person. I’m much more productive with my time and my life. Kourtney’s family knows I’ve changed. They know I treat her well and that I’m here for her in every way. Now the trust is all there.

L&S: Is marriage a priority?
Scott: Neither one of us wants Kourtney to walk down the aisle while she’s pregnant. We know we’ll be together forever, so getting a legal document isn’t the biggest deal in our life.

TEARS, JOY AND DRAMA AT KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN’S BABY SHOWER

Nov 18, 2009 by BabySwags

Kourtney, Kim and Khloé speak only to LIFE & STYLE about what caused the family’s big fight with Scott, the father of Kourtney’s baby—and how they all finally came together

Standing in her mother’s backyard, surrounded by a sea of blue balloons, blue cake and blue cotton candy, Kourtney Kardashian, looking stunning in a Diane von Furstenberg dress and Movado jewels, greeted guests as they arrived at her glamorous baby shower in LA on Nov. 14. Kourtney spent the afternoon enjoying bite-size burgers and mini pizzas from LA restaurant Chinois and dessert, flown in for the event from New York City’s BCake NY with 84 of her closest female family and friends. And making a surprise appearance was Scott Disick, Kourtney’s boyfriend and the father of the baby, who was greeted like family by the entire Kardashian clan!

But as anyone who follows E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians knows, Scott’s relationship with Kourtney’s family hasn’t always been so chummy. “We’re obsessed with one another,” Kourtney tells Life & Style. “If someone does something wrong to one of us, we’re all down their throats.”

“When Scott came back into our lives, it was like Kourtney was asking us to forgive and forget everything she’d said about him,” Kim explains. “We were really confused. We had to readjust our feelings about him, and sometimes we had a tough time with it.” Scott’s hard-partying behavior did little to ease their concerns. “I think he was just trying to have as much fun as possible before the baby came,” Kim tells Life & Style. “All he wanted to do was hang out with his friends. He needed to realize that Kourtney and the baby had to come first.”

“It was hard,” Kourtney admits. “There was so much negative energy. But this is the father of my baby — I needed everyone to just get over it.” In the end, Kourtney’s pleas for peace didn’t win over her family — Scott did. “He just started trying so much harder,” Khloé tells Life & Style. Case in point: “He put the crib together — no one asked him to,” Khloé says. “He’s not a manual labor kind of guy, but for him to put the crib and changing table together meant so much to Kourtney.” The transformation isn’t lost on Kourtney. The tension “was really intense for a few months,” she says. “But I feel like if that stuff hadn’t happened, things wouldn’t feel as good as they do today.”

MARLEY SHELTON: BEING A MOM IS THE BEST ROLE I’VE EVER HAD!

Nov 17, 2009 by BabySwags

Marley Shelton has taken on many personalities during 19 years of acting. But it’s her quirky role in 2001’s Sugar & Spice that helped prepare Marley for the arrival of her daughter, West, on Sept. 6. “I played a cheerleader who was pregnant with twins,” she told Life & Style in an exclusive interview at her LA home on Oct. 27. “I remember doing my research for it, so it’s funny now to be living out motherhood. Thank God I didn’t have twins!”

Instead, Marley and her husband, producer Beau Flynn, welcomed one sweet angel. “West is just full of smiles,” Marley, 35, says. “I could watch her smile for ages. She’s amazing.” As for the unusual name, well, it has an unusual story. “My husband actually dreamed seven years ago that we had a daughter, and he was calling her West,” Marley recalls. “I immediately said, ‘If we ever have a daughter, we’re definitely naming her that.’”

And the star of the upcoming films Untitled and Women in Trouble certainly feels happiest around her little girl. “I love everything about West,” Marley gushes. “She’s just scrumptious.”

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: I’M NERVOUS ABOUT BEING A GOOD MOM

Nov 4, 2009 by BabySwags

Talk about a dose of reality! Kourtney Kardashian moved to Miami earlier this year to film a show, Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami, about her and her younger sister as sexy singles in the city. But by the time they made the trek back to LA, Kourtney was carrying a little extra baggage. “It wasn’t something I expected or planned,” Kourtney tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. “It was just meant to be.”

Now eight months into the pregnancy, Kourtney, 30, is eagerly preparing to welcome a bouncing baby boy with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Scott Disick, 26, in December. “My pregnancy has been wonderful,” she gushes. “I love being pregnant. I’m excited to be a mom — but I’m nervous.” And viewers will get to see her take on the new role — and maybe even get a peek inside the delivery room — during season four of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. What they won’t see, however, is Kourt complaining about her burgeoning belly. “I’m totally excited to gain weight, and I’m embracing it,” she tells Life & Style. “I run around naked all day at home! I like that my body is changing. It’s a beautiful thing.”

And like a good teammate, Scott’s making every effort to redeem himself in the eyes of Kourtney’s family. In the past, she’s accused him of cheating, which he adamantly denies. “Scott and I have been going to different parenting classes,” Kourtney tells Life & Style. “They made me nervous at first, putting all kinds of information into my head, but they’re helpful. They’re a fun thing for Scott and me to do together.” But being a perfect father doesn’t mean Scott will necessarily make Kourtney an honest woman. “I’m 30, but I never was that girl who was like, ‘I need to get married,’” she says. “I never had a plan. Now I have so much to think about for the baby. I’ll worry about myself later.”
