Nanny or No:  No,  Baby Apple is cared for by Gwyneth and family

Why we love her:  She is so affectionate with Apple, quit her movie career to stay at home, takes the baby everywhere, named Apple after her two grandmothers, and best of all she is such a baby trendsetter!

Rumors, rumors…

No, not more Britney rumors.  She could pregnant with septuplets and I still might not care.  Why won’t she just go away? 

According to the Daily News, Elizabeth Hurley is telling friends she is almost two months pregnant with businessman boyfriend Arun Nayer‘s child.  However, her London rep denies she is expecting what would be her second child. But an insider says the model and "Austin Powers" actress has told her family she is almost two months pregnant.   Hurley already has a son, Damien, 2, from a brief relationship with American playboy Steve Bing.

Also, rumors are afloat about Sarah Jessica Parker being pregnant with her second child with husband Matthew Broderick.  Apparently, they have been trying to give two year old son James Wilke a sibling since Sex and the City ended.  A source told British magazine New!: "She’s not said anything but quite a few of her friends have noticed one or two tell-tale signs of good news on the way.  She’s made no secret of wanting another baby, a girl this time, and Matthew is very keen to have more kids. She wanted to take time off for her family then pick up her career later."

Breastmilk, anyone?

Experts say that "breast is best."  The following celebrity moms agree!

Tori Amos said: "An ounce of breastmilk is even more potent than the finest tequila." 

Erykah Badu said, of her son, Seven: "When I first had the baby, I was breastfeeding for two years straight, so we were together for two years of his life – every day, all hours of the day. So I was two people, and I eventually morphed back into one. Now he’s part of me. He’s very independent as a result of it. I thought it was going to be the opposite."

Elle McPherson

Jodie Foster‘s son Charles is a big eater: "I just couldn’t stop losing weight with the breastfeeding.  I ate as much as I possibly could, but I kept losing. You’ll see why when you meet Charlie. He’s a stocky guy."

Jerry Hall was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair and Leibovitz’s book, Women, breastfeeding her son Gabriel.

Faith Hill took breaks from shooting music videos to breastfeed her daughter.

Karenna Gore Schiff juggled her third year of law school, breastfeeding son Wyatt and working on her father’s 2000 presidential campaign.  She’s very political about the subject, saying, "we have to do a lot more as a society to accommodate working mothers. Breast feeding in itself is a real challenge. I had this vision of breast feeding lounges or something. I’ve found that since I’ve had my baby I find that other mothers are the most helpful."

When Catherine Zeta-Jones had her son Dylan, she told OK! Magazine, "I’m going to do it as long as I can. …there is something so intimate about it. For that one hour or 45 minutes it’s just wonderful. It’s wonderful bonding and you know they’re getting these antibodies."
