Since Jessica Simpson and her fiancé Eric Johnson welcomed their daughter Maxwell Drew on May 1, “life has completely changed,” Simpson, 31, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“From how I sleep to what I think about, Maxwell has definitely taken over everything!”

In this week’s issue, Simpson and Johnson give an exclusive interview, plus share the first photos of their little one, who’s inherited her mom’s eyes and her dad’s calm demeanor.

“We stare at her all the time,” says Simpson. “We can’t get enough!”

But becoming new parents hasn’t been without its hardships. Recovering from surgery — Simpson delivered via c-section — isn’t easy, she says, and nursing, which she does throughout the day, has become “a full-on job.”

Still, “It’s the worst if I have to pump and give Eric a bottle to give her,” says Simpson. “I miss holding her and having that closeness.”

For more exclusive details about Maxwell’s first few weeks at home — plus all the details of her birth, Simpson’s plans for a wedding and more children and first photos of the new family — pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

She may be on her fourth child, but Tori Spelling still has a rockin’ beach bod!

The expectant actress — who will deliver baby no. 4 in September — spent Memorial Day stylishly sunning her belly in a crocheted suit, orange necklace and Sanuk sandals.

Joined by husband Dean McDermott, who toted 7-month-old daughter Hattie Margaret, the pair enjoyed a holiday barbeque with elder children Stella, 3½, and Liam, 5.

“I can dispel the old wives’ tale that you can’t get pregnant while you’re breastfeeding,” Spelling, 39, joked when the pregnancy was announced.

Known for her sweet vocals and joyful personality as a season 7 finalist on American Idol, Brooke White has a bundle of joy of her own.

White, 28, gave birth to daughter London, her first child with husband Dave Ray, on Thursday, May 24 at a Los Angeles-area hospital.

“Baby London is here,” an ecstatic Ray tells PEOPLE. “Our girl came in at 6:41 p.m. and is 8 lbs., 12 oz.!”

Mother and daughter “are both healthy as well,” Ray adds.

According to Ray, the name London is a nod to his parents and family, who are all from England and specifically the London area.

Both Ray and White visited there two years ago and fell in love with the city. Also important — White is fond of the nickname ‘Londy.’

“We’re so excited,” White told PEOPLE in January.”By the time the baby’s born, we’ll have been married eight years. I met Dave when I was 19 years old and we’ve been together a really long time, and we’ve always wanted to be parents.”

A year ago, White made her acting debut in the FOX TV movie Change of Plans. This year, she continued to record music with writing partner Jack Matranga as the duo Jack and White. Their latest EP, Undercover, will be released May 29 on iTunes.

Fans can follow White’s baby adventures on her blog, Brookie Babble.

As a trainer on The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels was known for dishing out tough love to contestants.

But these days, she’s doling out tickles and hugs to her 2-year-old daughter, Lukensia – whom she recently brought home from Haiti after a lengthy adoption process — and the newborn son, Phoenix, that partner Heidi Rhoades gave birth to on May 3 in Los Angeles.

“We’re swimming in babies over here,” Michaels, 38, gleefully tells PEOPLE in its latest issue.

In an exclusive at-home interview and photo shoot, she discusses the two-year journey that led her to her daughter and reveals an incredible twist of fate: Rhoades, 31, delivered their son the same week Michaels finally brought their daughter home.

The instant family has made for long days and nights for Michaels. But she insists she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I don’t even answer email. I don’t have time to care about anything else,” she notes. “I want to be really present and enjoy all the nuances of their growth and development. I don’t want to rush any of it.”

For details on Michaels’s new life as a mom and to see more images from our exclusive family photo shoot, pick up the June 4 issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

On-the-go mom Charlize Theron keeps son Jackson close while out and about in Madrid, Spain on Thursday.

The actress — who is currently doing press rounds to promote her latest flick, Snow White and the Huntsman — later ditched her chic mommy duds for a hip-hugging red number while posing for photos alongside costar Kristen Stewart.

Theron, 36, and her globetrotting 6-month-old were spotted kicking off their European travels with their arrival in Paris last week.

It’s a day of dress up!

After being named one of the top 100 most creative people in business in 2012 by Fast Company, Jessica Alba poses with her daughters — Honor Marie, 3½, and Haven Garner, 9 months — for an ultra chic photo shoot.

While the adorable sisters donned girlie pink and white dresses, Alba looked stylish in a melon-colored blazer, white top, super short cobalt bottoms, thigh high socks, and black patent heels.

Later, the mom-of-two swapped out her sexy get up for a glamorous black and white printed dress while her baby girl looked oh-so sweet in her ruffled bloomers.

The actress was recognized for co-founding The Honest Company, a line of eco-friendly baby and household products.

“You spend more time changing your kid’s bum every single day than anything else,” Alba says of the colorful yet chemical-free diaper collection. “Why not have it be more pleasant?”

And while Alba admits the family market was already full of products claiming to be equally as eco-conscious as her proposed plan, she was one of the few to follow through on her promise.

“I was sick of people saying, ‘This is our green line, it costs a dollar more,’ but it’s the same stuff that’s in everything else,” she explains. “They deleted one fragrance, but it still has tons of carcinogens. Like, really?”

We hung out at the ranch and enjoyed being outside with our animals and nature.”

The Avengers may be blowing up the box office but Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the action-packed superhero film, is likely more interested in baby rattles than any magical hammer.

The actor and wife Elsa Pataky, who welcomed a baby girl last Friday, stepped out with daughter India Rose on Wednesday.

Married since 2010, Hemsworth, 28, and Pataky, 35, look as happy as proud new parents can be as they made their way through London’s Notting Hill neighborhood.

“I always liked Indie or Indiana for a boy, and she liked India. We went, ‘Oh well, whether it’s a boy or girl, that will decide.’ It just seemed to fit,” Hemsworth has said of their name choice.
