Helena is such a cutie! Both of her kids are adorable :)

- Nella on

umm, I’ll take the pc of cake without the shoe on it please!LOL!! I love that all three of them have the same color of hair, and yes, those kids are dolls!

- cris on

Cute kids, but did she really need to invite the paparazzi to her daughter’s birthday celebration? At the bottom of the pics it says “Startraks”… This rubs me the wrong way.

- B.J. on

Did she invite dad to the party?

- Georgia on

BJ – I’m with you on this. It’s one thing to be snapped by paparazzi when you are out doing errands, dropping off kids at school etc. (i.e. almost unavoidable), but to deliberately expose and “pimp” your kids out like this in order to stay in the “spotlight” is shameful .

- amoryn on

Celebrities are really weird !!!!!!!!!

- deanna on

Kelly looks tired. Were anyone else at the party? At least to help? lol

- Shannon on

Adorable kids. Kelly is naturally gorgeous and I can’t help but wonder what she would look like with her hair done!

- jenny on

The kids are really cute. Kelly looks happy. She is entitled to look tired. Helena looks exactly like her dad.

- crimpe on

I’m not surprised. This woman is making money hand over fist pimping out her kids to the paps. I just pray that she’s putting at least a little money aside for them for when they are older.
She grates on me like NO other.

- Mrs. R on

I’m sure she didn’t invite paps in off the street to take photos of her birthday. It was more likely she hired a professional photographer to snap photos of the big day and then released or sold some to People.
I’d much rather take a celeb baby birthday at their house that isn’t sponsored versus the huge gala that are for the parents.

- Lorus on

Georgia- I’m sure Helena saw her dad on or near her birthday as well. :) Considering how nasty things seem to get with Kelly and Daniel it times, it’s probably actually best for the kids if both parents aren’t in the room at the same time.

- CelebBabyLover on

I always thought Helena resembled Kelly mostly, but in this second picture she’s all dad.

- Mariana on

Helena is beautiful! She’s like a babydoll come to life! lol

- m-dot on

Kelly could be in debt for fighting for herself and the rights of her children! Also Kelly could have lost money in this economy! Also Kelly’s ex husband wants money from her! Also Kelly may allow her kids to be in show business to help pay for college future houses to live in, future cars to drive! Medical expenses, Kelly may need money, People will take your picture anyway! Kelly may need to keep her face in the news for other work opportunity! Get off her back! It takes a lot of money and maybe Kelly pays her Mom for helping out! Kelly is doing nothing wrong to these kids! If you want to control things you take control as Kelly does and it makes her life better! Kelly wants to be in the position to have us write comments about her. She’s not irritate about what you say about her…. I am!!!!!!!! Ha Ha Ha

- anon on

Anon-Ok your whole rant was speculation and creepy! Get a life.
On another note, does anyone know if Helena has Down Syndrome? She looks like she may. Especially in the second picture. I’m not trying to be mean just curious. Cute kids though! :)

- Crystal on

Crystal- Anon’s allowed to comment just like the rest of us are. :) As for Helena having Down Syndrome….She doesn’t look like she does to me. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

crystal- wow, you are definitely a rude person. that is NOT something you say about a child!! i’m not insulting downs syndrome kids, but seriously, be sensitive, yeah? it’s really none of your business.

- izzy on

Happy 1st Birthday Helena! What a cutie! I can’t wait for a little girl to put in pretty pink dresses.

I think that opinions have been formed on Kelly based on actions in her past that make commenters very negative and judgemental, even nitpicky. The kids are healthy and look very happy. Kelly and Daniel are trying to figure out what it best for everyone. Everything else is irrelevant.

- Ivonne on

Izzy-I was just wondering. Geez! Lay off! “That’s not something you say about a child???” It’s not like I’m saying the child is ugly or anything. Down Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder. Not an adjective to describe a child. Your ignorance is showing. You ARE insulting Down Syndrome children. You are acting like someone having Down Syndrome is a bad/awful thing. You need to get educated on the disorder before you start to pass judgement!

- Crystal on

Crystal- I think that izzy was just trying to say that we shouldn’t be speculating about a child’s health just based on a couple of photographs. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

oh LEAVE her alone!!!!! Helena DOES NOT LOOK she has
Down-syndrome!! she just has large eyes.. if she had DS she would not be making eye contact.. and seriously that is just mean to say!!!!

Everyone else puts their parties on here and mentions the brands and who sponsored. she clearly had a nice at home party and was sharing her photo’s. she is not pimping her kids out!!! I LOVE this post and am so glad kelly is enjoying her children!!!

P.s. no one pays for pictures like they used to it is just good to have fun with your kids and be in the press when you can!

- michelle on

Crystal – I know you weren’t being mean. I have often thought that Helena looked to have a touch of Down’s. If she does it must be very slight. I never commented before because I didn’t want to get attacked (as you did) by those who misunderstood the intention. It is not an attack on the child. We are all on here peering into other people’s lives and, by doing so, and commenting on them we are ALL busybodies. Down’s has very particular facial markers that, in fact, you can note in photographs. Michelle, as to making eye contact, Down’s children and adult’s do make eye contact. I think you are thinking of Autism. Regardless, she’s lovely and I hope she’s perfectly healthy.

- Annie on

Helena is beautiful and mothers of young children can look tired sometimes, especially if they aren’t wearing make-up.
