INSIDE JILLIAN BARBERIE’S BABY SHOWER!

Category : Expecting Celebrities, Featured

image002-2Dressed in a nonmaternity Marchesa gown, Good Day LA host Jillian Barberie Reynolds celebrated the upcoming birth of her son, Rocco Reynolds, with a lavish baby shower at the Montage Beverly Hills on Dec. 12. “It’s been completely different this time around,” Jillian, who has a 2-year-old daughter, Ruby, with husband Grant, tells Life & Style. “I was a huge whale, but now I’m just a dolphin. I’m not as rotund!”

Guests including Sharon Osbourne and Kourtney Kardashian (who gave birth just two days later!) noshed on tea sandwiches and scones and sipped signature cocktails like the Jilliantini and Rocco Royal. The room was decked out with beautiful white roses, tulips, hydrangeas and freesias by floral design studio Mark’s Garden. After lunch, the group indulged in a vanilla butter-cream custom cake by Cake Divas by Joan & Leigh — Jillian’s favorite! Guests left with a LeSportsac silver tote filled with gifts valued at about $500.

“We’re probably done after this,” says Jillian, “although we thought we’d probably be done after Ruby and, boom, I got pregnant with Rocco. So who knows.”

Kourtney Kardashian - Expecting Celebrity

Kourtney Kardashian - Expecting Celebrity

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.”

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

Category : Expecting Celebrities, Featured

image004

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.”

It's Official: A second miracle baby for Halle Berry

Category : Expecting Celebrities

This just in!!!!
Halle Berry suffered through the disappointment of more than 30 negative pregnancy tests before finally learning she was expecting her first child, Nahla, in 2007. Luckily, she’s had more success with her follow-up attempts to have a baby: Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the actress, who turned 43 on Aug. 14, is three months pregnant with her second child. “Halle is overjoyed,” says an insider close to Halle and the baby’s father, model Gabriel Aubry. “The first time, she struggled so much to get pregnant and eventually conceived through in vitro fertilization. This time, the baby was conceived through artificial insemination.”

“She’s just ecstatic to be pregnant again,” the insider tells Life & Style. “She wasn’t sure if she’d have another baby, so she’s very happy!” A rep for Halle didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Read more about Halle’s pregnancy in the new issue of Life & Style Weekly, on newsstands tomorrow!
