OH BABY!
Just one day after announcing her pregnancy, Gwyneth Paltrow stopped by Ellen DeGeneres's talk show and was presented with a $2,000 custom-built Silver Cross baby stroller as she shared details about her "big news." "I don't want to harp on it because I know that you are private about it, but you had some horseplay with Coldplay," Ellen joked in reference to the father, musician Chris Martin. As for the official due date? "It's in the...in the...summer-ish," said Paltrow, 31. "But I am superstitious talking about it." The complete interview airs Monday.
BERRY'S BIRDS & BEES
Despite her split from her husband, R&B singer Eric Benet, in October, Halle Berry says she is thinking positive. "I'm learning to be happy no matter what's happening," says the actress, 37, who stars in the thriller Gothika. "Unless you're starving or have medical problems, you just have life lessons to learn." Motherhood has proved to be chock-full of teachings. "I have a daughter who's gorgeous. She's 12, but she looks 16," says Berry, who adopted Benet's daughter, India. "She's at that age where she has a hundred questions. She's noticing boys and boys are noticing her. Men are noticing her, too, and that's scary. So she needs me. Parenting is the most important thing I'm doing right now."
