Minnie Driver Confirms She is Expecting Her First Baby


Minnie Driver, 38, has confirmed that she is expecting her first baby today during a taping for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after the host commented that it looked like she had gained weight from too many trips to the Hometown Buffet.

“Are you calling me fat? You’ve noticed my tummy, haven’t you?” Driver asked.

“Are you pregnant?” Leno asked.

“Yes, I am,” the actress said.

She said that she loves being pregnant, “more than anything else,” but acknowledged, “I am sick.” Minnie then joked her morning sickness is so bad it actually occurs “morning, noon and night.”

“I don’t know why they call it morning sickness. I am sick morning, noon and night, but it’s a fair trade-off.”

Tori Spelling Wants a Girl


Tori Spelling shows off her growing belly while in NYC promoting her new book ’sTORI Telling’.


The mom to be is expecting her second baby in early summer with husband Dylan McDermott and hopes to have a baby girl.

However, she is worried the tempestuous relationship she has with her own mother, Candy Marer, will repeat itself.


“Part of me desperately wants a little girl, so that I can have the relationship that my mother and I didn’t quite have,” Spelling said. “And then on the other hand, I’m scared that I’ll just kind of repeat mistakes that my mother made with me, maybe. But I’d like to give it a try.”

British Ballet Looking For 12 Pregnant Women


British ballet Company artistic director Liv Lorent believes that pregnant women are often fascinating, beautiful and serene. That is why she is recruiting 12 pregnant women to star in a dance production alongside six professional ballet dancers.

The production entitled, “MaEternal” will be performed in the northern English city of Newcastle in May. The 12 women who get through the auditions will be offered “a chance to share with an audience the beauty of what it means to carry the life of another within you.”

No previous dance experience is necessary to audition for a part in MaEternal. The only requirement is that anyone wishing to take part should be up to 32 weeks by the time of the performance on May, 14. Beyond that, she says, the risk is too high of unplanned dramas on stage.

Lynn Campbell, an active birth therapist who runs pregnancy classes said that

“Culturally we don’t always have the words to celebrate the beauty of pregnancy, and although people are often fascinated by it, they don’t know how to express that, so the say things like “Aren’t you big!” “So this is a real opportunity for pregnant women to be seen in a new way.”

Baby With Two Faces Born in India


People have begun to visit a small rural village in Northern India to worship a baby born just two days ago with two faces.

Word spread quickly among villagers about the newborn baby girl. The baby is seen as an incarnation of God and people make offerings and ask for the baby’s blessing.

The doctor who delivered her said she and her mother are healthy and doing well.

The baby girl’s parents hope the government will help them give the little girl further treatment.

This baby is more than likely still attached to her parasitic twin. Something happens inutero, at an early stage of conception, preventing the egg from splitting properly. When this happens, the baby is sometimes left with extra appendages, organs or conjoined to their sibling.

The amazing part of this story is that the village is embracing this baby’s uniqueness.
