Jamie Lynn Spears debuts baby Maddie in OK!

Posted on 12 July 2008 by JoyCeleb

Jamie Lynn Spears appears with little Maddie in the next issue of OK! Magazine. It includes the kind of glowing “everything’s great” interview that also includes some details about her day to day life with the baby. OK! reports that Jamie Lynn had a natural birth and didn’t have a c-section as some outlets reported. It also sounds like she nurses her baby, but she only hints at that. I’m only going on what the website has, though, and it’s possible there is more concrete information in the print version.

Around here, everyone has the same focus,” Jamie Lynn tells OK!. “The focus is family, and that’s a good way to live.”

The 17-year-old actress opens up to OK! about everything — from taking parenting classes to life inside the new home she shares with Maddie and boyfriend Casey Aldridge, to her first experience with labor pains.

“They’d told me it would be an eight- to 12-hour labor, and I was ready to have the baby in three to four hours,” Jamie Lynn tells OK!. “I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed.”

While the former Zoey 101 star and her fiancé have not yet set a date for their wedding, the couple remains closer than ever. Jamie Lynn, who tells OK! that while her labor was induced, she gave birth naturally and without complications, says that Casey was the one person she wanted in the delivery room with her.

“Once I got in there, my doctor was just so calm and so good it was not bad at all,” she says. “I was just talking to Casey. And you know what’s so weird? I was asking him if he was okay. He was like, ‘Yeah.’ We were both so excited.”

A baby nursery is set up for little Maddie at the other end of the house, but for now her proud parents like having her next to them at night, so she sleeps in a bassinet in the same room as Jamie Lynn and Casey.

“She is very good,” says Jamie Lynn. “She’ll feed every two or three hours. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, I’ll feed her and she goes right back to sleep. There’s no screaming and crying.”

The proud mama continues, “We get up in the morning, and she gets her little bath. Then I get my bath. We have a routine, and I love routines. I’ve worked one out with her, and we’re happy going about our little life.”

The baby sure is cute and Jamie seems like a devoted and caring young mother. She’s only 17 but she manages to sound mature in the interview and like she did her best to prepare for motherhood. It’s a great idea to have the baby sleep in the same room with you and we did that when my son was born. We got a lot more sleep than having him in another room.

This week’s National Enquirer reports that Jamie Lynn wasn’t happy with her mom’s deal with OK! for the first photos of Maddie. Lynne made the reported $1 million deal with OK! back when they shockingly announced then 16-year-old Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy in the magazine. Jamie Lynn is said to want to keep Maddie out of the spotlight because she wants to avoid the media circus that surrounds her sister, Britney, and her two sons. It was too late to back out at this point, though, so she did her best with the interview and photo shoot. Jamie Lynn and Lynne are also said to be fighting because Lynne plans to return to LA soon to help Britney.

Anthony Kiedis and the mother of his baby break up

Posted on 12 July 2008 by JoyCeleb

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, 45, and his girlfriend Heather Christie, 22, have broken up after three years together. The two have a nine month old son, Everly Bear, and are said to have been living apart for over a month. In her statement acknowledging their breakup, Christie called Kiedis a great dad and added a little thinly veiled dig at the end:

The Red Hot Chili Peppers singer, 45, and Christie, 22, a former model, recently ended their relationship of more than three years and have been living apart since June, according to sources.

The former couple have a son together, Everly Bear, who was born last October.

“Anthony is a great dad and I will love him forever for giving me the gift of life,” Christie tells PEOPLE. “I really hope he finds what he’s looking for.”

[From People.com]

They’ve been dating since Kiedis was 42 and Christie was just 19. That’s a huge age difference and it’s not like that relationship was going to last anyway. I wonder what she means by “finds what he’s looking for” though. Kiedis is into Kabbalah and it’s possible she’s referring to that, but it’s probably just a standard breakup issue like he’s been looking for companionship elsewhere or they drifted apart and have different interests now. In photos I found of Keidis from May he wasn’t wearing the red string, so he may not be that into Kabbalah at this point anyway.

Venus Williams Wins Fifth Wimbledon Crown

Posted on 06 July 2008 by JoyCeleb

Venus Williams Wins Fifth Wimbledon Crown | Venus WilliamsIt was every Williams for themself.

Venus Williams finally got the upper hand over younger sister Serena, defeating her in two sets – 7-5, 6-4, to win her fifth Wimbledon singles crown.

Saturday’s championship battle marked the seventh time the sisters had opposed one another in a Grand Slam final, with Serena, 26, winning the last five of those matches.

After sealing the victory, Venus, 28, hugged her sister at the net and later credited her as a touch competitor. “She played so awesome so it was really a task,” said the now seven-time Grand Slam champion of Serena, as reported by the BBC

.

As for her win on one of the sport’s toughest – and most prestigious – venues, the lawns of the All England Club, Venus said: “To know every time I come back, I have the chance to make history… I love this place.”

Despite losing, Serena called the day one of celebration for her family. “I’ve been working really hard and I’m so happy at least one of us was able to win,” she said.

Venus needs one more Wimbledon singles title to match Billie Jean King’s record of six, behind only Steffi Graf (seven) and Martina Navratilova (nine).

The two sisters will play later today – this time on the same side of the net – in the women’s doubles final.

Nick Cannon: Marriage Is the ‘Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me’

Posted on 06 July 2008 by JoyCeleb

Nick Cannon: Marriage Is the 'Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me'   | Nick CannonThe honeymoon may be over, but Nick Cannon is enjoying the married life even more.

Although his wife Mariah Carey wasn’t in Las Vegas with him, the “Wild ‘N Out” host said his marriage to the singer is anything but rocky, despite Internet reports to the contrary.

At the opening of Las Vegas’s Christian Audigier The Nightclub Friday, Cannon said his marriage is “amazing.”
“It’s the best thing that ever happened to me,” Cannon, who was sporting his wedding band, told PEOPLE.

Arriving just before midnight, Cannon quickly made his way to the club’s turntables where he began a two-hour set, spinning hip-hop, techno and rock.

At one point, he put on Shawty Lo’s “Dey Know.” Bobbing his head to the song, Cannon raised his hand high in the air and shouted the lyrics “Big ups, to all my haters.”

Carey and Cannon met on the set of her video “Bye Bye,” and after a whirlwind courtship tied the knot in May.

Guy Ritchie Lands in New York

Posted on 01 July 2008 by JoyCeleb

Guy Ritchie Lands in New York | Guy Ritchie, MadonnaGuy Ritchie arrived in New York from London Monday evening amid reports of trouble in his marriage to Madonna, who is in the Big Apple rehearsing for an upcoming tour.

Around 6:30 p.m. the director, who was accompanied by two bodyguards, entered the Upper West Side building where he and Madonna own an apartment.

Rumors that their seven-year marriage is in trouble have been circulating for some time. Adding fuel to the talk, Ritchie, 39, and Madonna, 49, spent the weekend apart – she with their three children in New York, and him in London. Neither of them wore wedding bands.

Madonna’s spokesperson, Liz Rosenberg, said, “Madonna has rarely worn a wedding band over these last six years, so there’s no secret message about that.”

Last week, the Daily Mirror reported Madonna met with divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney and Prince Charles in their respective divorces.

Jennifer Aniston Waits Backstage at John Mayer Concert

Posted on 29 June 2008 by JoyCeleb

Jennifer Aniston Waits Backstage at Mayer Concert | Jennifer Aniston, John MayerJennifer Aniston and John Mayer continued to keep their romance firmly off the radar Saturday.
Slipping unnoticed into the musician’s backstage area at the Hard Rock Calling festival in London’s Hyde Park, Aniston stood quietly in the wings while the “Georgia Calling” singer ran through a 45-minute set in front of an audience of ten of thousands.

But the actress wasn’t just there to lend moral support: wearing a black-and-white floral halter-neck top and faded flared jeans, Aniston busily snapped away with her camera to record Mayer’s on-stage performance.

It was the second time in two days that Aniston had joined Mayer for one of his gigs. On Friday, she took a seat in the upper level of the gritty south London venue, the Brixton Academy, before leaving with Mayer at around 11:30 p.m.

Earlier this week, the couple united in Amsterdam, where she was promoting the upcoming Marley and Me (with Owen Wilson) and Mayer was performing.

In keeping with the low-key theme of her London visit, she never once ventured into the Hard Rock VIP area and quietly left the show without anyone noticing.

Even the paparazzi camped outside her London hotel were left guessing.

Mayer later appeared on stage at the end of the show alongside headliner Eric Clapton and Aniston’s close friend Sheryl Crow. But again Aniston was absent.

Mayer is due to perform at the Glastonbury Festival on Sunday. His European tour then moves onto Copenhagen.

Paris Hilton Making Music with Benji Madden

Posted on 28 June 2008 by JoyCeleb

Paris Hilton Making Music with Benji Madden | Benji Madden, Paris HiltonIt’s good to have a musical boyfriend.

Benji Madden has already recorded a song about Paris Hilton, and now the Good Charlotte guitarist is helping her with her own music.

Hilton, 27, told E! News that she and Madden, 29, are hard at work on the theme song to her upcoming MTV reality show My New BFF.
“Benji and I have been working hard on it,” she said. “He’s helping me write the lyrics for the song and then I’ll sing it, too.”

The couple, who’ve been dating for four months, are laying down the track at a studio located, conveniently enough, in her Beverly Hills mansion.

Premiering later this year, My New BFF will follow the former Surreal Life star as she chooses a new shopping buddy from 20 contestants.

Hilton also plans to start working on the follow-up to her 2006 debut CD Paris. “I’ll have another album come out, for sure,” she told E! News. “I just don’t know when yet. I only have the summer off, then I’ll be taping another season of BFF. But an album is something I’ll do.”
