Katie Holmes has been burning the candle at both ends these days, with jet setting between L.A. and New York. In L.A. she’s been attending the premiere of ‘Tropic Thunder’ and then zooming back to New York the following day to continue rehearsals for her Broadway work in ‘All My Sons’. She is seen here enjoying some swing time with her daughter Suri, and while by all appearances she is hanging on tight to the little one, it may be her marriage that she is truly trying to cling to. By all accounts the Cruise marriage is hanging by a thread due to many factors, one of which being Katie acting as an East Coaster for the time being. Katie and Tom were last seen at the premier of Tropic Thunder, and though they were all smiles, there may be bigger issues underneath. Cruise plays a small role in Thunder, and it may just be this fact that is causing a rift as we all know in Tinseltown, size matters when it comes to roles. Katie may be feeling the crunch of being the primary breadwinner in a family that expects nothing less than the best, and as her career skyrockets, Tom’s seems to be moving in the opposite direction. Add that to the fact that due to her career, Katie missed an important scientology convention in Los Angeles, and all reports indicate that control freak Cruise was less than impressed. Tom’s dwindling career combined with his scientology obsession may slowly be moving him off the A-list in Hollywood and having a significant effect on his former ‘heartthrob’ status that Katie initially was attracted to. Is Katie Holmes about to be a single mom? I know many that wouldn’t be too disappointed by that fact, and by all accounts, she seems to handle life with much more grace alone, now that she IS a big time star. Time will tell now, won’t it?

Gwen Stefani is seen here enjoying her last few days of pregnancy in the British summertime with her hubby Gavin Rossdale and little boy Kingston. The happy family went to the zoo and even as heavily pregnant as she was, Gwen looked as always, simply radiant. Now, Gwen no longer has the glow of pregnancy on her pretty face, but the glow of being a mom blessed yet again with her second child. Gwen and hubby Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second son on Thursday in Los Angeles, and the couple are getting closer and closer to building their own rock band. And it seems they think so too, as their second son is named Zuma Nesta Rock and was born at 12:46 P.M. Thursday weighing a very healthy 8.5 pounds. Little Kingston who just turned two this May is now a proud and happy big brother and the entire family is happy, healthy, and beaming from ear to ear. Will little Kingston feel left out? Not if Gwen and Gavin have anything to say about it. The two are following the advice of friends and ensuring Kingston has his own welcome home gift when the baby comes home so that he has some extra special ‘just Kingston’ attention from mom and dad. Many congratulations to Gwen, Gavin, and Kingston, and happy birthday little Zuma!

Salma Hayek is seen her enjoying some mommy and me time with her baby daughter Valentina at Taverna Tony’s club in Malibu. And yes, both of them are as pretty as ever. Salma apparently has quite a lot on her plate these days as she awaits the release of her latest work ‘Cirque du Freak’ due in theaters later this year. She also has some woes on the personal front it seems, as, after recently announcing her engagement to billionaire Francois Henry Pinault, the two seem to have called it quits. The engagement is officially off. The couple have their 10 month old daughter, Valentina together, so my guess is that parenting duties will be worked out, but they will no longer do so ‘as a team’. Their reps are both stating the official end of the engagement, but no further comment is being released. Salma has been known to say that a marriage hasn’t always been necessary, that she doesn’t see the need and that she just wants to grow old with someone, paper or no. However, the fact that Valentina’s daddy lives in Paris, and Salma and the baby do not, may be huge factors in the split. We may never know the real story, but in the meantime, Salma is picking up the pieces as a new single mom.

Here are Jennifer Lopez and her hubby Marc Anthony shopping for clothes for their little twins Emme and Max while out and about in Milan of all places. They are in Milan so that Marc Anthony can receive an award from the Milan town council in recognition of his artistic achievements. And, if you are wondering how the parents of baby twins manage to find the time for shopping excursions in Milan, you are probably guessing it has a lot to do with the celeb factor and the probability of a bevy of nannies on hand. Well yes, this is true for the most part, but J-Lo and Marc have had some issues with nannies it seems and from the sounds of it, J-Lo is ‘Boss Zilla’ when it comes to employing others to care for her kids. She spent the first 3 months of their life doting on them herself, and wanted to be hands on, but that novelty seems to have worn thin, as the nanny parade has started, and it sounds like she can’t keep help around. J-Lo has already lost TWO nannies in the short month that she’s begun hiring them. Her expectations it sounds are high. She wants one nanny to take care of both the twins, and expects 16 hour days 7 days a week. The only upside is that a nanny to J-Lo is making a sweet $2250 a week, which amounts to $117 K a year. Not bad for a babysitting job. Mind you, what are the chances of a nanny actually making it that long? Doesn’t sound good at this point….

Ah yes, just when we thought we could go a day without saying nothing about these folks, they go and deliver their little ones. Finally! Saturday night was an exciting one in Nice, France as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt saw the birth of their twins. Angelina delivered the babies by C-Section, and it was one of each for the A-listers as they are the proud parents of both a new baby boy and a new baby girl. Knox Leon is the name of their new son, and he was born weighing in at 5.03 pounds and their little princess Vivienne Marcheline was born at 5 pounds. And, per the doctor’s reports, everyone is doing very well. The birth was moved forward from its originally planned date (which was kept secret) due to some medical reasons, to ensure the babies would be born ‘in the best conditions’. Though, no details have been provided as to what any of that meant, but it does sound like an emergency C-section was the end result. These tots will make babies #5 and #6 for the couple who have Maddox (6), Pax (4), Zahara (3) and Shiloh (2). And yes, as expected there is a media frenzy around first shots. Reports as it stands now are that the couple will fetch an unprecedented $24 million for the baby pictures, though who will be the lucky recipient is still mum. As with Shiloh, it is anticipated that all funds from the baby pictures will go to charity.

It is no secret that Hollywood is one of the most competitive places on earth, and it is not just restricted to the A-listers and their wannabes. With the recent Baby Boom in Tinseltown, the competitive factor has trickled down to the next generation, with stars and celebs vying for a spot on the cutest or best dressed baby list. Seems a few have made the cut, with Suri Cruise topping the list for OK Magazine’s Hollywood’s Best Dressed Baby, where she beat out the likes of Violet Affleck and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, among many others. Shiloh ranks #2 as Best Dressed, Violet takes third place, and the rest of the top 10 company includes Willow Smith (7 year old daughter to Jada and Will), Reese Witherspoon’s 8 year old Ava, Matilda Ledger, and Harlow Madden. Of noted interest is that baby Aguilera didn’t seem to make the list, which is interesting because she’s become known as the most competitive baby mama in Hollywood. Oops, guess you need to do some shopping, Christina. But Suri has proved that her well-bred A, B, C’s – Armani, Burberry, and Christian Louboutin, have been instilled perfectly which earns her the top spot. And given that she’s seen munching on some raisins and a cereal bar, perhaps her next trophy will be for the healthiest eater as well. I gotta say, this is one little tot that gets cuter every minute, so couple that with a fashion icon mama, this is of NO surprise to me.
