At Whit's End: Maybe baby
By Whitney Schulte
September 4, 2008 | The one thing all celebrity moms
have in common isn't the crazy baby names (hello, Apple
Paltrow, Kingston Rossdale, and Suri Cruise), or the
expensive designer duds they buy in size 0-6 months.
It's that they try to keep their pregnancies a secret
from the masses for so long.
Take J. Lo for example. Whom did she think she was
kidding? She toured until she was about ready to pop,
yet still would not confirm the news that she was expecting
twins.
Why do these celebrities hide the baby news? Whom
do they think they're fooling? We can't blame any expecting
mother for wanting to wait until she is in the clear
and officially out of the first trimester of pregnancy
to break the news. But when you're a Hollywood starlet
who is being photographed every single day, eight months
is just a little too long. Many people think celebrities
hold off on confirmation until the last possible second
because they love all the extra publicity it brings
them. For example, a recent article about Katie Holmes'
possible "spermination," on perezhilton.com,
spurred readers on to leave more than 85 comments when
it was first posted.
Mario Lavandeira, more commonly known under the alias
Perez Hilton, has always been famous for "outing"
gay celebrities. Celebrity moms beware: Perez is now
outing you as well!
Hilton had been after Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
for months. He knew that Garner's bump was not just
"a
breakfast pouch" as she had previously joked
with Access Hollywood's Tony Potts. When Garner
officially confirmed the news to Access Hollywood
she said, "It always makes me laugh when people
say 'Is she? Isn't she?' It's like eventually you will
know, so just chill out for a minute."
When Hilton posted
the tidbit about Garner's confirmation on his blog,
he said, "It was so obvious, but it's good to have
official confirmation."
Another Hollywood mom who held off confirming her
pregnancy is Ashlee Simson-Wentz. There had been much
speculation of a bun in the oven even before Simpson
and Pete Wentz tied the knot. When Simpson appeared
on the Ellen Degeneres show, she stood up and asked
the audience, "Does it look like I've had a lot
of cheeseburgers? Because I don't think it does."
Although Simpson promised Degeneres that she would give
an official confirmation of a pregnancy sooner rather
than later, we still had to wait until after the wedding.
One of the newest celebrities whom Perez Hilton is
speculating about is Eva
Longoria. She has been spotted out and about in
Los Angeles recently sporting looser clothing and a
possible bump. Longoria went to Vegas last weekend for
the opening of Yellotail Sushi Restaurant and did not
eat any sushi or raw items. She also made a stop at
Pure nightclub and only drank water. All Hilton has
to say about the matter is, "Who goes to Vegas
and doesn't drink? What do U think? Is she preggers?"
However, she is reportedly gaining weight for her
role on Desperate Housewives so this "bump"
is anyone's guess. Speculation welcome!
