Tim Allen Talks About His Second Daughter's Birth

Josh loposer — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:00:00 GMT

When Tim Allen's first daughter Katherine was born, he was a nervous wreck. His second time around (March 28th), with his now 3-week-old daughter Elizabeth, he was cool as a cucumber. According to Tim, his ability to keep himself under control this time helped make his second adventure into fatherhood a "marvelous experience."

“She did all the work but she allowed me to be there, and I was able to physically help her on the back side of it. And her sister was there and a couple of her friends… I was the first one that got to look at [Elizabeth].”

I'm sure that Tim's wife Jane Hajduk Allen appreciated the fact that Tim was able to actually provide some support during labor, rather than have a panic attack or pass out. For some reason, Tim Allen seems like the kind of attention hog that would try to steal the spotlight at his own daughter's birth. I kid.

As for Jane, like other celebrity mothers these days, she's lost almost all of her baby weight after only three weeks. What's the deal? Are the personal trainers that good? Lipo?

“I didn’t feel like I needed to eat more, so I did that plus I worked out and I swam — and the man upstairs, I don’t know, gave me something…but, really, if I had had cravings I would have been eating. I knew I didn’t want to work so hard when she was born, so I thought, ‘Let’s just take it easy, let’s do this right.’”

M.I.A. Wreaks Havoc at Coachella

It only takes 9 words from a performer at Coachella to wreak havoc, yikes, those must have been some powerfully spoken words.

Oh wait, it was M.I.A. asking for her fans to come up on stage. M.I.A. called out to her fans, " Can I get some people up on the stage?" and some of the audience complied.

Oh my, the security guards must have been going crazy. They try so hard to keep everything copacetic, but she threw a monkey wrench in their carefully laid out plans.

The guards tried to keep the audience off the stage, but she yelled out, " Let 'em on".

Were you one of those who rushed the stage at Coachella? Me neither, I had a yard sale. How very grown up of me, I know.

Alison Sweeney's Post-Baby Body

Sassy Smith — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:02:00 GMT

Days of Our Lives star and The Biggest Loser host, Alison Sweeney is now a mom of two and she was able to return to work on Days just two weeks after giving birth to Megan Hope! How did the 32-year-old actress get back in shape?

Sweeney's costars were amazed at how great she looked when she returned to the Days set just two weeks after welcoming her second child. How the heck did she do it?

Alison says she was careful not to gain too much weight with her pregnancy.

"Knowing how you're going to have to work to get yourself back into shape afterward, you're a little more careful, so I didn't gain nearly as much weight" with Megan, as she did with son Benjamin.

She adds, "I had morning sickness for more than six months and it was really bad." She said some days "all I could eat was cereal. I went through Cheerios by the box."

Alison says she still has some weight to lose. "I tried to stay active and stay with my workout plan, but having two kids, it's a lot harder to get back in shape because your time is cut even more in pieces. Plus, I'm working two jobs, and I was only working one after Ben."

However, hosting The Biggest Loser helps keep her motivated.

Alison says, "It's a nice reminder every week of what commitment does and how successful you can be when you work at it. And there are no excuses."

How does she stay fit?

Alison likes EA Active fitness program for the Nintendo Wii. She said it's "been the total savior" because she's "able to do it at home, and I don't have to get a babysitter and I can include Ben in it." She tries to work out four or five days a week for about 30 minutes at a time.

"It has a lot of fun, active choices and is a good distraction from the 'chore' of working out. It's been awesome."

Alison credits The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper for her motivation as well.

"Bob said to me the other day, 'I haven't seen you in spin class lately,' and I said, 'I'm coming, I'm coming.' So there I was on Saturday morning and interestingly, biking next to Vanessa Marcil," who was surprised to see Alison there since "I had just had the baby four or five weeks earlier."

Alison does her best to stay away from tempting treats.

"At Days this morning, one of the crew guys, Jay, brought in these lemon miniature muffins that he made that looked scrumptious. Probably when I was pregnant, I would have had one without even blinking, 'cause I would say my biggest weakness is home-baked goods. I am not tempted by candy bars or anything prepackaged like that, but when someone makes something from scratch, it’s very hard to walk away from. So today, I said 'Nope.'"

Good for her! I've always liked her (I even like the evil 'Sami')!

Alison's son Ben is now 4, and baby Megan is 10 weeks.

Alison Sweeney and Her Megan Hope

Alison Sweeney gave birth to her newest munchkin on January 12 and is already showing her off.

Megan Hope Sanov has a full head of hair and is looking pretty alert already.

Alison said she gave birth looking fantastic because she went to the hospital in full hair and makeup from the set of The Biggest Loser. Of course, she didn't know that she was going to give birth that day, she thought she was going in for a checkup.

Did you put makeup on before you went to the hospital to give birth? I brushed my teeth and showered, but no makeup.
