Sharon Osbourne may be dealing with personal issues at home, but nothing brings a smile to her face faster than talking about her granddaughter Pearl Clementine, who celebrated her first birthday last Wednesday.

“We had a birthday party [on the 20th],” The Talk co-host tells PEOPLE on the set of the show Thursday.

“Lisa and Jack have a lot of friends with one- and two-year-old babies, so they all came. Pearl had her first cupcake — just a little bit of a vanilla one. She went insane — it was unbelievable to see it. She was shaking with excitement.”

The milestones continue for the little one, who is the first grandchild for Sharon.

“She took three steps on her birthday — it was just amazing,” the proud grandmother tells PEOPLE, before adding that there may be more children to come.

It’s all babies, all the time for Jessica Simpson lately.

Just weeks after celebrating the impending birth of her son with a Tom Sawyer-themed baby shower, the Fashion Star mentor, 32, shifted gears from blue to pink and threw her daughter a fair-themed party Sunday to mark Maxwell Drew‘s first birthday.

Held in the backyard of the family’s Hidden Hills home, around 50 guests enjoyed face-painting, coloring tables, beach balls and a children’s band. Food stations were set up around the party, featuring hot dogs, grilled cheese, tacos, fresh fruit, lemonade and candy.

“Maxwell had a great time! Everyone was in great spirits,” a source tells PEOPLE. “All of her grandparents were there. She loved listening to the band and seeing the other babies!”

It’s fun to be one!

Country crooner Joe Nichols and his wife Heather celebrated a major milestone Sunday, they tell PEOPLE: daughter Dylan River‘s first birthday party.

Surrounded by 65 close family and friends, the proud parents rolled out the royal treatment for their princess — who officially turns 1 Wednesday — with a puppet show and festive bubble machine.

But it was the fun face-painting station that received Nichols’ seal of approval — he proudly sported a blue butterfly on his cheek!

Before digging into her celebratory smash cake, Dylan was serenaded by guests who sang “Happy Birthday” — with Dad on the guitar! — followed by a special solo performance of “That Would Be Her” by Nichols.

“1st birthday party a success!!! Smash cake = smashed,” Nichols, 36, Tweeted, sharing a sweet snapshot of his grinning baby girl covered in cake.

She may be a self-proclaimed girly-girl but at her Los Angeles baby shower Sunday, Jessica Simpson couldn’t help but gush over gifts she opened up for her baby boy.

“I’m so excited to have a son,” Simpson, 32, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “He got all these cute vintage cars and I got a lot of little leather jackets I can’t wait to try out!”

The Fashion Star mentor’s 11-month-old daughter Maxwell Drew got excited too. “She was taking over some of her little brother’s gifts!” says Simpson.

The mom-to-be — whose fiancé Eric Johnson later joined the celebration hosted by Simpson’s mom Tina and attended by sister Ashlee – celebrated her son’s impending arrival with a Tom Sawyer-themed bash created by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss, who gives PEOPLE an exclusive private tour of the party below.
