Just looking at paint colors for your new baby’s room can feel overwhelming.
There are dozens of variations on pink and blue, and don’t even get us started on the neutrals!

The Sugar Ray frontman is proud papa to 5-month-old twins Lydon Edward and Hartley Grace, his children with fiancée Carin Kingsland, as well as the new host of Don’t Forget the Lyrics!, airing weekdays on VH1 and in syndication.

Impending motherhood “became a lot more real” for Lily Allen when she learned the sex of her baby-on-the-way — a boy!
“You start to think of names, and then you can go shopping, and it all feels like it’s happening,” she confesses in the October issue of Stylist.
As for just what Allen, 25, and her construction worker boyfriend Sam Cooper will call their firstborn, due in January, mums the word. “I’ve got a really stupid list of names, but I won’t show you,” she teases, before promising that their choice won’t make headlines.
“Sam is way too straight and traditional for that sort of thing,” she says of unusual baby names. “He’d get the piss taken out of him on the building site.”

The toughest thing about being a rock star? Being away from their newborn sons, say OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder and guitarist Zach Filkins.
“It’s hard,” says Filkins, who welcomed his first child, son Leighton, with wife Lindsay in June. “You reach a point where the more you see them [in online video chats], the more you want to go home.”
Adds frontman Tedder, who welcomed son Copeland Cruz with wife Genevieve 11 weeks ago: “We try to cap our time away at three weeks, whereas in the past we’d do six weeks. You don’t understand until you have a family — you can’t physically do that anymore or it tears the whole fabric apart.”
