Pete Wentz 'Doing Great' Flying Solo With Bronx, Ashlee Says

INF

The wildfires which continue to ravage Southern California certainly have livened up Pete Wentz‘s first solo stint with son Bronx Mowgli, 9 months. With Ashlee Simpson-Wentz on the East Coast promoting her upcoming turn on the CW’s new Melrose Place, the 30-year-old Fall Out Boy rocker was on full-time diaper duty last week — in the dark!

“The house blacked out where we live, because of the fire and everything, but he managed to get through it,” Ashlee revealed during a recent visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, noting “It’s actually Pete’s first time being home alone with him.”

“He’s doing so good, he’s sending me so many pictures and he’s doing great.”

Some of the snapshots left even Ashlee confused, however. “I got a picture of my son holding a Vita Coco,” she bemusedly said before clarifying, “He doesn’t drink Vita Coco, though. Just formula.”

Melrose Place debuts tonight at 9 p.m. on the CW.

Alicia Minshew: 'I Can't Wait To Be a Mama'

Michael Simon/Startraks

For actress Alicia Minshew, 35, motherhood was never part of the plan — until she met the right guy! “This is all his fault,” she jokes in the August 25 issue of Soap Opera Digest of husband Richie Herschenfeld. “He made me want babies!”

Recalling an earlier interview in which Alicia — now in the third trimester of her first pregnancy, a baby girl due in November — said she “wouldn’t want to have kids” if it weren’t with Richie, the All My Children star says that she “still stand[s] by that.”

“Eight years ago, it would have been a different story, but now I can’t wait to be a mama.”

The couple kept the pregnancy a secret from Alicia’s co-workers until she was five months along. “Some people said that they had suspected it,” she notes. “I mean, I’ve gained 10 pounds already and on a little body…If you see me every day in tight things, every now and again you see a little something and you’re like, ‘Hmmmm. What is that?’” Still, others were caught completely off-guard by the news. “It was really cool because I got such a mix of reactions from people, from total shock to people going, ‘Yeah, we thought so,’” she says.

Co-stars Thorsten Kaye and Cameron Mathison “knew very early on,” Alicia shares. “They were so great and so supportive and they totally kept my secret from day one, those two, and I love them for that.” AMC icon Susan Lucci was also one of the first to know. “She jumped out of her chair like a little girl and she must have hugged me 10 times,” Alicia recalls. “It was a really special moment, exactly why I had wanted to tell her before I told other people.”

Concealing her baby joy on set was particularly tough given the subject matter for her character Kendall Hart; For two weeks, Alicia kept a crib-side vigil over her fictional baby Ian, who was battling a heart problem. “I was in the first trimester and I was so nauseous and so uncomfortable and nobody knew,” she says. “It’s my first time, newly pregnant, and I was so afraid that going through this emotional stuff was going to hurt my baby, which is why I ultimately felt like I had to tell somebody, and I told Cameron.” Instantly, the actor, a father of two, quelled Alicia’s fears.

“He was like, ‘No no, no. Babies are resilient.’ He calmed me down. He said ‘You’re going to be fine, just take care of yourself.’ But it was a challenge man!”

Baggino Diaper Bag-N-Changing Belt: Perfect for the Organized, Traveling Parent

The Baggino Diaper Bag-N-Changing Belt ($129) is a diaper bag designed like a tool belt and perfect for the extremely organized user. It appears to be a standard messenger style diaper bag but quickly and easily converts to a “changing belt”  around your waist!

The Baggino never needs to sit on the dirty bathroom floor nor will your valuables, such as wallet and cell phone, be left unattended while tending to your child.

At first I thought the bag would be a bit complex for my taste but until I watched the 10-second instructional video on the Baggino website. After that, I stocked the compartments of the bag and was off to the pool where it worked very well.
