Well another six months has gone by and it is time for another “bump watch” alert. But before I move on to that, has anyone noticed that the stars seem to be having babies in quantity a lot more often. Seriously, how many celebrities have had twins recently. See: Marcia Cross, Angelina Jolie, Rebecca Romijn, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Dixie Chick Martie Maguire, Geena Davis … A doctor told US magazine that the chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina’s age, 33, naturally is under 1 percent. Now, while Jolie has admitted that they increased there odds by in vitro maybe a lot of female celebrities, more than are willing to admit, are using fertility drugs? A lot of celebs are having kids later in life and may want to increase their chances of getting pregnant.

Who Popped:

• Cate Blanchett has a son named Ignatius Martin. Hopefully the baby will get its looks from Mommy.
• Halle Berry and boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey had a daughter named Nahla Ariela Aubry. That sounds like the name of one of the cubs from The Lion King doesn’t it.
• Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony had their twins finally (she looked as though she was ready to get those things out of there). Their names are Emme and Max.
• Christina Aguilera and Jason Bratman had their little boy, Max Liron Bratman in January.

Who has the bump:

• I actually haven’t heard of any bump watches lately. I think America is busy watching the ones that have already confirmed they are expecting. Speaking of …

Who is Expecting:

• Clay Aiken’s female friend, Jaymes Foster is going to give birth to their baby this year. I thought this was a pretty strange story. He seems very young to be sperminating friends already. Don’t worry Clay, you will find a good man someday to have a baby with.
• Everyone can’t wait to see Pete Wentz and Ashley Simpson’s child this October. And John Mayor, Jessica’s Ex is the godfather?? Weird.

• Rebecca Romijn and husband Jerry O’Connell are having their first child children together. They announced this month that they were expecting twin girls.
• Jennifer Gardner and hubby Ben Affleck are expecting another addition to the family soon. The couple already has a daughter together, Violet.
• Amy Poehler, from SNL, and her funny husband, Will Arnett are having their first baby together.
• Matt Damon and wife, Luciana are expecting another bambino. This is the third child for them: Daughter Isabella was born in June 2006, and Luciana has a 9-year-old daughter, Alexia, from a previous marriage.
• Adam Sandler and his wife Jackie are expecting their second child.
• Jenna Jameson is finally expecting with boyfriend, Tito Ortiz, a UFC fighter. She has been open about wanting a family in the past.
• OK. Who else did I miss … Gwen Stefani, Minnie Driver, Gillian Anderson, Caroline Rhea, Lisa Marie Presley, Busy Phillips, Angie Harmon … Geez.

Update: Apparently Angie Harmon is not pregnant, according to husband.

This past week I talked to my little sister who was shopping for her a new look in her bathroom. She was trying to find a shower curtain that she liked that she could base a new color scheme around. Unfortunately she wasn’t coming up with much that she liked. I remember when I shopped for my bathroom I had a hard time finding curtains I liked and were in my price range. So I decided to help my little sis out and find some stuff she might like, that is very affordable. Hope this helps!

Ocean Shower Curtain, Target - $29.99; Sweet William Shower Curtain, Bed Bath & Beyond - $29.99; Ruffles Shower Curtain, Target - $26.99; apt. 9 Espresso Aqua, Kohls - $22.49; Larch Shower Curtain, CB2 - $29.95; Florafauna Shower Curtain, Urban Outfitters - $26.00; Duck Shower Curtain, World Market - $29.99
