Tori Spelling Hopes to Give Children ‘a Normal Life’

Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

Ever mindful that fame is “fleeting,” Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling are striving to give their two children “as normal a life as we can,” the actors tell Babble.

“At this age, I don’t think it’s necessary” for son Liam Aaron, 3, and daughter Stella Doreen, 22 months, to stay grounded, Spelling explains before pointing out that “obviously, they realize there’s a lot of things going on around them that’s not like other kids.”

At the same time Spelling, 36, says it’s important for her children to realize “you’re not anyone based on what you’re born into.”

“We’re both on the same page in not taking any of this for granted,” McDermott, 43, adds. “We want to teach them how to be normal.”

BumpWatch: Luke Bryan Debuts Caroline’s Belly!

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin

Sunday proved to be a big night for Luke Bryan!

The country star, 33, took home Top New Artist and Top New Solo Vocalist prizes at the Academy of Country Music Awards — and also showed off wife Caroline‘s baby bump!

The couple are expecting their second child in August — a little sibling for 2-year-old Thomas ‘Bo’ Boyer — and have already starting preparing their toddler.

“When he wants to play around and jump on Caroline we’re like, ‘You have to be careful. Mama has a baby.’ And he’ll put his finger on her belly and point and say, ‘Baby.’”

Jennifer Lopez Hands Off Her Pregnancy Pillow – to Marc!

Devan/INF

When Jennifer Lopez delivered twins Emme Maribel and Maximilian David in 2008, husband Marc Anthony received a whole lot more than two beautiful babies! The singer also inherited Lopez’s much-loved pregnancy pillow.

“Carrying twins was really uncomfortable because you lay on one side and you feel there’s a baby, and you lay on the other side and you feel there’s a baby,” The Back-up Plan star, 40, tells PARADE.

“I actually had this really big pregnancy pillow … that I used at night and Marc still sleeps with it to this day.”

Having just celebrated their second birthday in February, Max and Emme have become increasingly aware of their surroundings.

As a result, Lopez notes, she is determined to consistently double up the love — and treats! — she dishes out.

“It’s like if I give one a little bit of candy or food or whatever, I give the other one a little bit too. If I kiss my daughter I go, ‘Oh, I don’t want my son to see me kissing her without kissing him,’” she says. “So you just have to make sure that they both feel equally loved.”

Spotted: Gwen Stefani’s Bottle Babe

SNAP/GSI

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale hitched a relaxing ride on mom Gwen Stefani‘s hip Saturday, as the duo — plus Gavin Rossdale and elder son Kingston — headed to Long Beach, Calif. to visit friends for the day.

While Zuma, 19 months, kicked back with a bottle, 3½-year-old Kingston munched on an apple while hanging out with dad.

Splitting the parenting duties with Rossdale makes life easier, the No Doubt frontwoman, 40, admits.

“I always thought he’d be a good dad,” she said, quoting her hit “Simple Kind of Life.” “And he has basically lived up to that and beyond, beyond.”

Buzz: Baby No. 2 for Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen?

Tom Vickets/Splash News Online

Do we spy a baby bump?

Isla Fisher and her husband, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, are known for their steady silences when it comes to confirming personal news — they kept quiet regarding daughter Olive‘s birth, as well as their recent nuptials — but after Sunday’s photos, there seems to be little doubt that there’s a sibling on the way for their 2½-year-old!

The actress, 34 — who has kept her belly under wraps in recent days, covering it in loose tops, as well as her purse — stepped out in West Hollywood sporting quite the bump.

When contacted for comment, reps for the couple remained mum.

What do you think — is there a second baby on the way for Fisher and Baron Cohen?
