Name Trains: Get On Board For High-Quality Train Toys

My 3 ½-year-old son, Finn is completely train obsessed, and I worry about the nasty lead paint and many product recalls associated with his wooden trains. Maple Landmark, a Vermont company, uses only non-toxic finishes and sustainable hardwoods in its cute Name Trains ($5 per car).

They also have accessory cars and emergency vehicles that Finn loves. I’m partial to the leopard-print caboose. They run smoothly on his train tracks and even come in feminine pastel colors. It feels good to get back to basics and support this home-grown company. Besides, their products are so cute!

Heidi Klum & Seal Expecting Fourth Child

WENN

Supermodel Heidi Klum is pregnant with her fourth child, Seal confirmed at his concert this evening. “[The] topic of debate outside our hotel is, ‘Is Heidi having another baby?’” he told the audience. “Heidi and I are having another baby!” The Project Runway host and her singer husband expect their new arrival in the fall.

The baby will join siblings Leni, 5 next month, Henry Günther, 3 ½, and Johan Riley, 2.

This latest addition to the family shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. Last year, Heidi herself hinted that she might still want more kids. “So many people say, ‘I am so done.’ That hasn’t come out of my mouth, and it hasn’t come out of Seal’s mouth either,” she told Redbook magazine in July. “I feel like we still have one coming.”

The news was first reported by In Touch Weekly, with E!’s Mark Malkin confirming with his sources last evening.

Nancy O'Dell Says Ashby is Motivated by Chocolate


Richie Buxo/Splash News Online

Spending Easter in a New York City hotel room with a small child is not for the faint of heart! ”It’s a little hard to find places to hide the eggs,” Nancy O’Dell lamented during a Monday visit to Live with Regis and Kelly.

Fortunately her daughter Ashby Grace, 22-months, didn’t seem to mind — so long as the eggs contained a certain treat! While baby girl doesn’t understand the origins of Easter, “she totally understands the concept of chocolate,” Nancy said.

“We kind of use that as a bribing mechanism. ‘If you do this, chocolate will come.’ I don’t know what we’re setting her up for later in life.”

Along for the trip was Carson, Nancy’s 9-year-old stepson with husband Keith Zubchevich. Carson’s 13-year-old brother Tyler stayed behind in California, having recently returned from a school trip to Costa Rica. Nancy beamed with pride while showing off a picture of her family of five; When host Kelly Ripa commented on their collective good lucks, Nancy concurred, but admitted that she might be “a little biased.”

The appearance was in promotion of her new book Full of Life Mom-to-Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant, a collection of advice and anecdotes for expectant moms. There was no shortage of material for Nancy, 43, to work with; “Literally, when I was writing the book, the publisher was like ‘Okay, you don’t need to write this much,’” she recalled.

Revealing that “so many things” caught her off-guard while pregnant with Ashby, Nancy says that women often feel frightened, or embarrassed, (or both!) — and are left wondering “what is going on with my body?” One of those moments for Nancy took place as she prepared for work one day at Access Hollywood. She recalls,

“Nobody told me that head lights were a sign of pregnancy. So I’m standing in the shower at like six in the morning, and I’m like, ’I can’t possibly be aroused at 6 in the morning, what is going on?’…There I go to the set of Grey’s Anatomy, looking just way too excited to see McDreamy and McSteamy. If my friends could have just warned me I could have worn a thicker bra.”

And — by her own account – a bigger one! Complaining that nobody told her “how quickly things get large,” Nancy said her breasts became “borderline pornographic.” So much so, they were ultimately to blame for her pregnancy becoming public, after her Access Hollywood co-host Billy Bush zeroed in on the evidence! “He said, ‘Okay, so either you had an upgrade overnight, or you’re pregnant,’” Nancy recalled with a laugh.

Matthew McConaughey: Jose Cuervo Was Not an Option

John Calabrese/Gaz Shirley/Pacific Coast News

With Brazilian-born Camila Alves giving birth to her first child in Los Angeles, it was important to have a feeling of home in the delivery room. The sense of familiarity for the 26-year-old came in the form of music, with her partner Matthew McConaughey in charge of the playlist. While the actor admits that Camila was the one who had requested the tribal tunes, her strong contractions — lasting 14 hours — certainly kept Matthew on his toes! “Oh [your partner will] snap,” he tells Elle.

“She was also really quick to say, ‘Skip that f–kin’ song!’ So here I was blazing through this playlist while she’s nodding her head yay or nay, and I’m like, ‘This next song better have that groove or I’m going to have to run across the bed and change it.’”

Following a labor to be remembered, the happy couple welcomed their son Levi, now 9 months. Despite speculations early in the pregnancy about their name choice, Matthew shares that the two “wouldn’t dare compete” with his brother Rooster, who famously named his son Miller Lyte. “Like calling [our baby] Jose Cuervo?” jokes Matthew. “[Rooster's] got a daughter coming, and I think her name is going to be Margarita. I’m serious.”
