Talk about great timing!

Jessica Simpson, who will welcome her first child next year, recently launched a new collection for tween girls.

And it’s super cute. Full of easy tees, skinny jeans and soft hoodies in bright colors, the girlie line is perfect for the mom-to-be’s future Mini Me’s.

To help develop the brand, Simpson enlisted the help of younger sister (and fellow mom!) Ashlee Simpson to give it a fun rocker edge.

Ready to shop? The collection is available in all major department stores. To find a location near you, go to jessicasimpsoncollection.com.

Hip, hop, happy feet!

Marcia Gay Harden and her children — Eulala Grace, 13, and twins Julitta Dee and Hudson Harden, 7½ — check out the premiere of Happy Feet Two, held Sunday at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.

“There’s no balance! There’s just a constant endeavor to balance,” Harden, 52, tells PEOPLE.

“The ball’s in the air all the time, except when it drops. It used to be, when I was a younger mom, I never wanted the ball to drop. I wanted to keep it in the air all the time. And now I get it — the ball’s dropped. Bend down, pick it up and keep going.”

Busy taking 2-year-old Charlotte Grace to weekend birthday parties, the actress admits the sweet treat is sometimes just too tempting to pass up.

“Every weekend we’re at two or three parties. Now I’m not going to eat the cake at every one, but when it is homemade or looks particularly good, I’ll indulge,” Gellar, 34, tells the December issue of SELF.

“Really, how is eating a piece of cake bad? Being bad is murdering someone. That’s bad. Don’t do that.”

Christmas in the city!

Patrick Wilson and Dagmara Dominczyk pose with eldest son Kalin Patrick, 5, at the premiere of Arthur Christmas, held Sunday at Clearview Chelsea Cinemas in New York City.

The A Gifted Man star, 38, and his wife, who recently starred in Higher Ground, are also parents to Kassian McCarrell, 2.

“This was the first movie I went away for since becoming a mother,” Dominczyk, 35, recently told Entertainment Weekly.

“It shot in upstate New York. I knew my husband would commute with the boys every weekend, but this was the big litmus test. When I got to set, it was like coming home. I forgot how much I missed it.”
