Celeb Binge

Britney Spears needs her father’s permission to return to her hometown.

The troubled singer, who went to Kentwood, Louisiana, recently for her younger sister Jamie Lynn’s baby shower, had to ask her dad Jamie if she was allowed to make the trip.

A friend of the star said: ‘He has to give her permission to travel, and the money to do it. It’s not that he doesn’t want her there for her little sister. It’s just that he thinks it’s best to keep Britney close to home right now.”

The friend also revealed Britney - who hadn’t visited Kentwood for 16 months before the shower - is planning a second trip after promising Jamie Lynn she would be there for the birth of her baby.

The source added: “At the baby shower, she told her little sister she wanted to be there for her the entire time. I’m not sure how Casey is going to feel about that. But Jamie Lynn seems pretty excited.”

Britney’s father Jamie is currently co-conservator of her estate, meaning he has control of her business and personal affairs. Jamie Lynn and boyfriend Casey Aldridge are expecting their first baby on June 29.

Halle Berry and baby daddy Gabriel Aubry welcomed a baby girl on Sunday. Now, the baby’s name has been revealed. Ladies and gentleman, join me in welcoming Nahla Ariela Aubry.

The name “Nahla” means “honeybee” in Arabic. Halle says, “We didn’t have a name picked out until just before we left the hospital. For us it was hard to name the most important person in our life until we met her.”

Jennifer Lopez reportedly spent a staggering $1.4 million on giving birth.

The ‘Do It Well’ singer paid $700,000 to reserve a luxurious birthing suite at Long Island’s North Shore University Hospital, where she delivered her twins on February 22.

The $175,000-a-week suite - which included brown leather couches, a large Apple computer monitor, two plasma screen TVs, wooden flooring and a private kitchen - was also reserved by Jennifer and husband Marc Anthony three weeks before the star’s due date.

Jennifer and Marc also paid $300,000 for private doctors and nurses, $300,000 on security and a further $100,000 on personal assistants before the birth.

A family insider said: “Jennifer is doing so well but we have gone through a lot of tissues. Everyone is crying many tears of joy.”

I’d be crying too if I had spent that much!

Christina Aguilera is reportedly fuming about the lack of interest in her recent People magazine cover that she has fired her manager, her PR firm BWR and an assistant. The cover which features Christina and 5-week old son Max Liron has apparently only sold about 1.3 million copies which is less than their usual selling amount. According to reports, “She went crazy and had a massive tantrum. It was astonishing. She was absolutely furious and blamed her staff for the way everything had been handled. She decided BWR had to go, then gave her day-to-day manager and one of her assistants their marching orders too.” If she was married to another big-name celebrity then maybe there’d be more interest.

Christina Aguilera has returned home with her baby boy.

The award-winning singer, who gave birth to son Max Liron Bratman; her first child with husband Jordan Bratman; at Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai Medical Center on Saturday 12th January is back at her Beverly Hills mansion and feeling ’sore’ after giving birth via Caesarean section.

A friend of Christina’s revealed: ‘She is still really sore as a result of her scheduled C-section. It was more painful than she thought.’

Although it is taking some time for the 27-year-old singer to recover from the birth, she is already using her musical talents to bond with Max. The source added, ‘Her voice is fine. She is already singing to Max.’

Lucky Max.

Paris Hilton has apparently caught the baby bug. She’s dreaming of a child who can grow up to be best friends with Nicole Richie’s soon-to-be-here baby.

She tells People, “Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old. I was just telling her, ‘I want a baby so that our babies can play together.’”

Problem is – she doesn’t even have a boyfriend right now! Although, with stars going to other countries and bringing back swarms of children, it may just be easier to do than she thinks. All she needs is a visa and enough money to bribe a small country – oh wait, she has that already doesn’t she?

I’m sorry, but I’m having enough time seeing Nicole as a mommy – can you actually see party-girl Paris settling down? Well, chances are, she’ll beat out Britney for “Mom of the Year”.

Being a mother myself I know all to well how forgetful you can get during pregnancy. Seriously, you are lucky if you remember your own name most days and if you find the car keys in the freezer and the butter in the oven you are having a good day.

But surely forgetting your underwear is a little on the extreme side? Especially for celebrities like Christina Aguilera, who must have an entourage of people around her to remind her of such necessities? But no, obviously knickers must be a rare commodity in Hollywood as she joins the growing list of stars leaving their underwear at home whilst out on the town.

Our pregnant star once slammed Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton for such behaviour, but we have pictures to prove she is now a full fledged member of the panty-less crew. Whether she will remember it or not I am sure someone will be happy to remind her…

Britney Spears spent some quality time with her boys this past weekend. When I say quality time I mean she left her kids in the car with a supervisor while she left and did some chandelier shopping. Wherever Britney goes with the kids, it’s always places where the paps are the craziest. I remember the picture where her eldest son is just freaking out from all the photogs. brit does this to herself, and decides to immerse her kids into it as well. She should be at home getting acquainted with her kids. And I will bet anyone it’s either the monitor or paparazzi that is making brit’s sone smile. Sure as hell wouldn’t be brit, cause she’s busy shopping. But tell you what guys don’t we too leave the kids in the parking lot for a few minutes at times so that we can save some precious time and get some munchies for them while they are listening to some music.

Poor Britney! She doesn’t KNOW she’s missing her undies and flashing her cooch because she’s got post-partum depression! Don’t you people understand?!??! When you’ve got post-partum depression, you don’t KNOW you’re supposed to wear panties!! She probably doesn’t even own any panties … because she’s got post-partum depression!!! When I had post-partum depression, I flashed my cooch all over the place!! In the grocery store, at church, everywhere!! And all the men were so understanding and nice to me because I was flashing my cooch … I mean, because I had post-partum depression!! Give her a break already!!! You’re all just jealous because Britney’s cooch can sing and dance and is more famous and richer and prettier and smarter than any of your chooches, and her cooch has post-partum depression!!! Your lazy cooches, that have never had a problem of the same magnitude that Britney’s cooch has, are just sitting there behind your computers eating Ding-Dongs and hating!!!! And Britney’s cooch’s new song rocks!! I’d like to see YOUR cooches try and be as good as hers!!!

Congratulations! It’s a girl!

Former Mexican soap star turned pop star and entrepreneur Thalia, along with her husband, music mogul Tommy Mottola, welcomed their first child on Sunday. They are now proud parents of a bouncing baby girl they named Sabrina. She weighed in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces. Thalia was said to be in labor for about 20 hours! Wow! Mom and baby are now resting comfortably.

I wonder if Sabrina would turn out like her mama. Let’s hope she inherits all the talent and all that beauty her mom has. And of course, all the money her papa has. Lucky girl.

Rather than jockey for a front row seat for the shows at Paris Fashion Week with her friend Posh, Katie Holmes was spotted shopping at Armani Junior in Milan over the weekend. Suri is always best dressed of the Celebrity Baby brigade. You that’s what I love to see in a celebrity mom, it’s not just about being a mother and flash your baby’s picture for the magazines and strike a deal with Hello! Or Elle or someone else and rake in the Benjamin’s to fill up the bank accounts. It’s more of being able to maintain that super celeb look on yourself and your kids and then take them out to fun places and sacrifice what other stupid moms would rather generally be expected to be doing. I know that we she were at the Paris Fashion week some paps would be flashing at her appearances and telling kudos of her looks and her style but that would not rank as being a good mom. She goes out to buy some new duds for Suri and still gets reported and has the kudos as well.
