Kevin Perkins/Pedro Andrade/Pacific Coast News

There’s no looking back for 9-month-old Satyana Marie Denisof!

Baby girl was only interested in looking forward during a stroll in Santa Monica on Friday with her parents Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof. She is the first child for the couple, who married in 2003.

During our recent exclusive interview, the 35-year-old How I Met Your Mother star revealed the inspiration behind her daughter’s name.

“The root of her name means ‘truth’ in Sanskrit, and we added the ‘ana’ to make it go better with my husband’s last name, which is Russian,” Alyson revealed. “Her middle name is Marie after my aunt. We often call her Sati though.”

The Facinelli Five's Merry Morning!

On Christmas morning Peter Facinelli and his wife, Jennie Garth, look forward to the moment when their three daughters burst through their bedroom door around 7 a.m., crawl across the covers and announce it’s present time.

“They try to let us sleep in, but they’re so excited they can’t wait,” says Jennie. “They look so innocent, excited and full of expectation.” Adds Peter of the girls’ pure joy: “Their faces are lit up like no other time of year.”

Sarah Jessica Parker Considers Doll Shopping 'Very Exciting'

As she looks forward to her first Christmas as a mom-of-three, actress Sarah Jessica Parker says that her new twin daughters Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, 6 months, have forever changed her shopping patterns.

“I bought dolls for the first time in my life, it was very exciting,” the 44-year-old Sex and the City star tells the Associated Press.

Don’t look to Sarah Jessica to consult with a gift list, however. “Like all women across the globe,” she says while gesturing to her head, “it’s all here.”

“We don’t need to write down things. We don’t need to make lists!”

That said, there were definite plans in place for how her family — which includes husband Matthew Broderick and son James Wilkie, 7 — would be spending the holiday. “I can’t wait and get the house ready,” she confessed.

“We’re going to buy our tree on the 19th. It will stand naked until Christmas Eve, and we’ll put the children to bed and we’ll decorate the tree when the children are in bed. We’ll leave cookies and milk for Santa, and oats for the reindeer, and wake up Christmas morning and they’ll start ripping through presents.”

Sarah Jessica’s new film Did You Hear About the Morgans? is in theaters now.

I see you!

While safely in the arms of his mama Christina Aguilera, a curious Max Liron keeps an eye on the nearby paparazzi.

The 23-month-old and the songstress were spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Wednesday, making one final holiday run-through of all the shops.

Maybe they were purchasing a few last-minute gifts for dad Jordan Bratman?
