Brooke Burke’s House Rule: Always Knock on Closed Doors

Balance may play a role in Brooke Burke‘s poise on the dance floor, but when it comes to parenting, the mother-of-four isn’t concerned.

“When I was a new mom, I used to think that life was going to be balanced, and I strived for that,” the Dancing With the Stars host, 39, tells Redbook in its July issue. “I gave up on the expectation that everything was going to be picture perfect.”

She adds: “Balance is a joke.”

That’s not to say she doesn’t make time for her fiancé, Baywatch alum David Charvet. She has two children with Charvet — Rain, 4, and Shaya, 3 — and two older kids — Neriah, 11, and Sierra, 9 — with ex-husband Garth Fisher, but Burke says the couple makes sure “to escape once a week.”

Jessica Alba makes a splash in a custom, color-blocked Diane von Furstenberg as she attends the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards, held Monday at Lincoln Center in New York City.

The expectant actress had just returned from Connecticut, where husband Cash Warren celebrated his 10 year reunion at Yale.

“Cash told Honor, ‘You’re going here.’ He showed us his dorm, because he lived on campus the whole time. It was cute,” Alba, 30, tells PEOPLE.

“[Jessica Simpson and I] were like outsiders, but the boys were so happy. They’re buddies. Everyone gets really close, which I think is lovely about that school.”

We’re big fans of the Affleck girls’ adorable, yet low-key mini style.

So when we spotted Seraphina, 2, in a pair of fun slip-ons while trying to score a drink from mom Jennifer Garner in Santa Monica, Calif. on May 3, we just had to find out who makes them.

After a little digging, we discovered they’re the Elephant Canvas Classic ($29) from Tiny TOMS.

Unfortunately, her style is no longer available, but the Earle Canvas Classic ($34) are just as cute.

Meet Alexis Stewart’s Daughter Jude

She’s been trying for a baby for five years, but on March 8, Alexis Stewart‘s dream of being a mom finally came true when she welcomed her daughter, Jude, via gestational surrogate.

“Getting Jude was lucky,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’m happy, but this has been rough.”

And how: since deciding she was ready for a baby in her late 30s, Stewart, 45, has seen several doctors and at one point was spending up to $27,000 each month for IVF procedures and an additional $6,000 for medications.

However, after meeting her current physician, Dr. John Zhang at Manhattan’s New Hope Fertility Center, Stewart was able to cut back on the drugs and reduce her monthly spending to about $5,000 for treatments.

“This is my other job that I don’t talk about,” says the host of the Sirius radio show Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer. “But if you’re lucky enough to be able to afford it and you have time, what’s the downside?”
