I hate having to change domain names but I felt it was for the best if I want to expand the blog.

Thanks for reading.

It’s some father-son bonding time for singer-songwriter Seal (47) and his two boys Henry (4) and Johan (3). The three of them went to see a game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center in Los Angeles on April 27th.

Hmm, both Seal and Johan look like they’re enjoying the game, but by the looks of it, the same can be said for Henry.

Singer, fashion designer and mom Gwen Stefani took her two kids Kingston (3) and Zuma (1) to the park Beverly Hills, California on April 27th. They seemed to have a wonderful afternoon with a picnic and toys to play with in the sand.

Birthday girl, Jessica Alba, who turned 29 yesterday continued with her New York trip this week. She headed off to the Tribeca Film Festival carrying her little one, Honor Marie on April 24th.

What is up there that scares Honor into clutching onto her mom so tight?

Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of May 3rd’s issue of Us Weekly and talked about her post-baby body and her weight loss.

On if she felt pressure to lose the baby weight:

Some people get really obsessive about it, but no, I felt really good, just blessed to have my babies. I remember my flabby belly hanging out right after I gave birth. I kind of laughed and said to Marc, “Look, baby! Isn’t this crazy?” I just didn’t care.

On what inspired her to get her body back:

You get to the point where you’re like, Where am I? What happened to me? I got to get myself together for my kids, you know? They need to know what I really look like. And that’s when you start working at it. You go, “I’ve lost what I’m going to lose naturally. Now I have to start getting back to the gym and eating right.”

On how her body is different since pregnancy:

After having children, your ribs come out just a little bit. It’s almost like they push out to make space for the babies, and I don’t know that the whole rib cage ever goes back! Before, I was always able to fit into sample-size clothes from designers, and now they have to take them out just a bit. Your body takes that toll, but it’s no big deal.

On being in better shape than ever:

I feel really proud that I was able to get back to the size I was before I had the babies. It wasn’t easy, and I don’t want anybody to think, like, “Oh yeah, I bounced right back.” No, it took work. I had to diet – which I wasn’t really used to – and I had to exercise. You have to really work at it. That’s the secret. I’m lucky I have someone to help look after the babies, so I can steal away for an hour when the twins are napping and go for a run. I’ll say, “Page me if they wake up before I’m back!” You lose your mojo when you’re pregnant, and it takes a year to get it back. Now I feel like myself again!

I always appreciate people sharing their experiences of child birth and how their bodies change. I’m not sure I believe the part about her not caring about her “flabby belly” though. She seemed to be training for the triathlon she did seven months after birth pretty quickly.

38 year-old actress Amanda Peet gave birth to a baby girl named Molly June Benioff on Monday 19th of April. Peet has been married to screenwriter David Benioff since September 2006 and this is the second child they have together. The couple already have one daughter together named Frances Pen (3).

Sometimes, celebrities really are like normal people. Mark Wahlberg went grocery shopping with wife Rhea Durham and their son Michael in LA on Saturday.

Where they deviate from the norm is the fact that Rhea only gave birth three months ago and already seems to have lost a lot of poundage.

Heidi Klum did some shopping over the weekend with two of her kids, Leni and Henry in California after picking up daughter from dance class. The three of them picked out plants of all types including some large flowering plants.

Earlier in the day, Klum carried her six-month-old daughter Lou to Leni’s dance class. That is one awesome head of hair Lou has. I didn’t have that much hair till I was six years old.

22-month-old Honor gets to see New York City as her momma Jessica Alba takes her for a stroll before having lunch (April 23rd).

I wonder what little Honor is finding so amusing while mom’s on the phone.

Jessica Alba is in New York these days to attend the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival.

The health conscious actress was spotted in a market in New York City with her daughter Honor doing a bit of grocery shopping (April 22nd).

Then later in the day, the Alba was off to the School of Visual Arts Theater where she participated on the ‘Climate Of Change’ panel during the film festival. Here’s what she had to say:

On 1GOAL the global education campaign she supports:

I was invited by Queen Rania of Jordan to participate in this campaign to basically put pressure on world leaders to make sure every child has access to education … It’s the most sustainable, real way to fight poverty for a child: to have a primary-school education. There are all these insane stats …

[It’s about] people lending their voice. Government won’t choose to make a change or make a difference unless people stand up for something, and so our campaign is to sign up and put pressure on the world leaders and force them to make a change. And so, along those lines, what we’re trying to do is educate the public.

On making her daughter more aware of being environmentally responsible:

I’m sort of obsessed with it, personally. I always have non-toxic cleaning products in my house. The only plastic she has is [from] my mom … I try to talk to my family about it. It’s tough for people to imagine that big companies and big corporations will produce things that are poisonous not only to their children but to the environment. And they feel like there’s nothing they can do, but actually you can read the label … and get behind companies that are doing the right thing. So that’s the way we live our life.
