Jennifer Garner is pregnant; third baby with Ben Affleck

Jennifer Garner is pregnant again, expecting her third child with husband Ben Affleck.

The couple said Monday that they are "thrilled" to have a third baby on the way to join daughters Violet, 5, and Seraphina Rose, 2. Garner and Affleck, both 39, released no additional details to the AP about the pregnancy.

Another baby will mean one more child on Garner's mind when she's doing the working-mom thing she described to People after her youngest was born:

"[I] feel like half my brain is somewhere else all the time," she told the magazine. "But when the camera's rolling, I pull it together and focus for two minutes, and then I kind of turn back to a ditz again. I have a split personality."

Also, unfortunately, it'll presumably be one more tot to lure paparazzi lenses -- photogs have been a problem in the past outside Violet's preschool.

Hilary Duff is pregnant, expecting a baby with Mike Comrie

Hilary Duff is pregnant, expecting a baby with Mike Comrie, her husband of one year.

"I can’t believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you’re having fun! We also want to share the exciting news that ... BABY MAKES THREE," she wrote in a wedding anniversary post on her official website.

"We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives."

Wait, wasn't it just May when Duff was telling "Access Hollywood" she and Comrie thought that a baby could "wait just a little while longer," so she could record a new album? Guess the couple has now defined "a little while." 

"Wow! I am just overwhelmed by all of the wonderful messages everyone is sending!," the 23-year-old said on Twitter a few hours after the announcement went up. "Thank you so much! Big hugs! Xxo."

Comrie, a 30-year-old free agent most recently with the Pittsburgh Penguins, announced last week that he'll be taking time off from hockey to allow full post-surgical rehab on his hip.

Singer Jewel and hubby Ty Murray have a baby son

Jewel and her bull-riding husband Ty Murray are the parents of a new baby son as of Monday evening.

Kase Towne Murray arrived weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces at 7 p.m. Texas time, the couple announced on the singer-songwriter's website Tuesday.

"We are overcome with happiness," they said. "It really is as great as everyone told us it would be -- better even!"

Jewel had a scare in her hometown back in March when a volunteer firefighter's truck crashed into the passenger side of her car. After a trip to the hospital for tests, the mom-and-baby-to-be were said to be "doing fine."

Murray and Jewel, who married in 2008, live on a working ranch in Stephenville, Texas, southwest of Fort Worth. "Dancing With the Stars" fans will remember the "King of the Cowboys" making it into the final four on the show's eighth season, when Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson won the mirror ball trophy.

The 36-year-old has been getting into mom mode for a while now, recording an album of children's music to be released next month and spending the spring converting a room into a nursery. Any bets on what the new parents will be listening to in the car?

Victoria Beckham's baby arrives to the name Harper Seven -- and why not?

Victoria Beckham and husband David Beckham finally have a baby girl to go with their boys, and they've named her Harper Seven Beckham.

Posh delivered in L.A., welcoming the 7-pound, 10-ounce, little lady at 7:55 a.m. Sunday.

"Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister," Becks said late Sunday on his Facebook page, where he revealed his daughter's name.

Harper Seven joins brothers Brooklyn Joseph, 12, Romeo James, 8, and Cruz David, 6.

Why the middle name "Seven"?  Speculation is tying the name to the baby's weight at birth, in the seventh month and seventh hour; to her dad's old soccer jersey number; and even to Harper's future search-result success when she's ego-Googling.

We prefer an old standby, however: "Because we can," from the "Why not?" school of nomenclature.

Kate Hudson gives birth: It's a boy!

Kate Hudson gave birth on Saturday night in L.A., delivering an answer the question she decided to keep a surprise until the last minute: It's a boy!

The baby is her first child with fiance Matt Bellamy of Muse and a brother to Ryder, her 7-year-old son with ex-husband and Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson. Hudson's rep confirmed the birth Sunday morning.

The new parents reportedly plan to some spend time together in London, where Bellamy is recording a new album.

Time to break into those gender-neutral shower gifts! Seems the "pendulum test" she discussed in April -- the test that indicated a girl was on the way -- might need a little recalibration.

David Beckham posts a sneak peek at Victoria Beckham's baby bump [Picture]

Not everyone looks ravishing with a nearly done baby bump, but David Beckham wants fans to know his wife Victoria Beckham is one of the lucky ones -- the soccer star has posted a picture of a very pregnant Posh on his Facebook page.

"Took this pic of Victoria while she wasn't looking," Becks wrote Thursday. "She looks amazing, so close now to the baby being born."

While she wasn't looking, hmm? Nice house dress, lady! Incidentally, Victoria told People earlier this month that she would not be baring that bump for anyone but her husband.

“I’m not really one of those people that likes to go out and pose and flaunt being pregnant," she said. "Not like there's anything wrong in that."

Apparently hubby agrees.

Rumors that baby girl Beckham had been born on the 4th of July did the Twitter rounds over the weekend, but alas, the bun's still in the oven.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper tie the knot

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper tied the knot Saturday in the romantic English countryside.

The intimate nuptials, with fewer than 100 guests, were held at St. James the Great Church in Gloucestershire. Dad Keith Allen gave the pop singer away, reports the Telegraph.

Lily, 26, glowed (pregnancy rumors are already starting) in a French designer gown by Delphine Manivet, featuring lace sleeves and a fishtail skirt (click the photo to the right to see a larger image of the dress). As she left the church in Cranham village, she carried a bouquet of white roses, People said.

The singer has been busy tweeting about her big day too, telling one friend Wednesday, "I'm GREAT, I'm getting MARRIED EEEEEK !!!!!"

An unnamed wedding guest leaked Allen's wedding plans to the media in March and even provided a copy of the save-the-date card. Despite the privacy breach, the couple went ahead with their plans.

Lily's new hubby Sam is a decorator and business owner. He proposed to the songstress on Christmas day last year, giving the couple a reason to celebrate after recent heartbreak.

Kate Hudson showered with baby gifts by Courteney Cox, Rachel Zoe

While a raucous award ceremony rolled out a world away in L.A. on Sunday, expectant mom Kate Hudson was quietly showered by famous friends and family in Malibu.

The Academy Award-nominated actress was toasted at a private estate in the beach community with around 80 guests, reports People, including pals Courteney Cox, stylist Rachel Zoe, Jessica Capshaw and Jennifer Meyer Maguire. 

"She looked amazing and kept giggling while mingling with friends, nibbling on food and playing games," a source told the magazine. "She seemed to have the best time."

Hudson, pregnant with rocker-fiance Matt Bellamy's baby, is due in July. She's reportedly requested not to learn the little one's sex, so guests brought gender-neutral gifts.

After the girly bash, Hudson threw on a flowy black evening gown to attend a benefit for Chanel and the Natural Resources Defense Council's Ocean Initiative. Bellamy was by her side all evening at the affair, held at the home of Ron and Kelly Meyer (Jennifer's parents and Tobey Maguire's in-laws).
