  • Egyptian woman gives birth to septuplets because she wanted a boy

    Ghazala Khamis (which I think is a really cool name) just gave birth to FOUR BOYS AND THREE GIRLS via c-section. She has three daughters and had undergone fertility treatments because she wanted a boy. Well, now she has four of them. The septuplets – my heart skips a beat whenever I look at that word...

  • Birth inspires lottery ticket purchase

    I'm a little superstitious. I prefer the number 7 to the number 13, for example. So if I had a child that was born on August 8, 2008 at 8:08am and weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces, I would probably do what the staff at Lake Region Hospital in Minnesota did. Buy lottery tickets. Lots and lots of lottery...

  • Ohh, Baby - Orgasmic Birth Video

    Some things go great together. Chocolate and peanut butter. Milk and cookies. Childbirth and orgasms. What, you disagree? You think that it's unbelievably weird to be thinking about sex while your child is being born? What are you, a stiff? There's a scene in Edward Albee's play " The...

  • Mr. Gwen Stefani wants to feel more manly

    The other day on the streets of Manhattan I saw a sign advertising Gavin Rossdale's new album . Who, you may ask, is Gavin Rossdale? You might know him by his married name: Mr. Gwen Stefani. Back in the dark days of the 1990's, Gavin was actually more famous than his now-wife; he was the lead...

  • Before and after baby pics from TMZ

    TMZ has a gallery of before and after pregnancy photos of various celebrities; I won't list the names because in our gossip-fueled media, you probably know who they all are. Whenever I see something like this I think of an interview that Ricki Lake did with David Letterman a few years back. Ricki...

  • BROKEN NEWS: Angelina Jolie, Do We Have Babies or What?

    Hey, is this another one of Angelina Jolie's " jokes ?" She's a funny one. Hell, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the Jack Black thing was a set up, too ( his mouth , not his baby - or his yak ). There is so much confusion and conflict in France right now I'm afraid...

  • Milla Jovovich Gives Birth, Was In Labor For Ever

    The only time I appreciate the freaky names stars give their kids is when it presents endless possibilities for stupid puns. Milla Jovovich and her fiance, director Paul Anderson, had a daughter on Saturday and named her Ever Gabo Anderson. Best name Ever ? Ever need a diaper change? I could go on, but...
