Talk about spring showers!

On Thursday, stars showed up in full force to attend Big City Mom’s The Biggest Baby Shower Ever event in Hollywood.

Expectant mama Beverley Mitchell joined James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly to take in all the latest and greatest parenting products on the market, with fun demos and daddy duty tips from The Guncles, Bill Horn and Scout Masterson.

Glowing in a ruffled ombré maxi and white jean jacket, Mitchell admitted to feeling “a little ginormous” while waiting for the upcoming April arrival of her baby girl.

But the mom-to-be didn’t let her burgeoning belly slow her down: she toured the entire venue before mingling and sharing tidbits about her pregnancy with other guests.

A few days before baring her bump, Kristen Bell, 32, celebrated her baby’s pending arrival with an A-list bash in Los Feliz, Calif. on Saturday.

“All my best girlfriends came to my baby shower,” she Tweeted along with a photo of herself posing with House of Lies costars Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson.

Other guests included good pal Rachel Bilson and writer Kelly Oxford who shared a silly snapshot, left, of Bell wearing Isabella Oliver’s Tilda print maxi dress while opening some of her gifts (she can scratch breast pump off her list!)

“At [Kristen's] baby shower and she’s totally trying to get me to put the next baby in her,” jokes Oxford.

Although we spy a purple (and pink?) theme at her shower, one thing the expectant actress – who’s due in late spring — and fiancé Dax Shepard, 37, aren’t divulging is the sex of their baby.

With their baby boy set to arrive any day now, Shakira and Gerard Piqué shared a sexy and shirtless black and white maternity portrait with fans — and asked for their help.

“We’d like to celebrate the imminent birth of our first child with all of you,” the singer and upcoming Voice judge, 35, writes on her social media accounts.

Working with UNICEF, a charity Shakira has been a global ambassador for since 2003, the couple requests donations from $5-110 rather than gifts for their son.

The minimum amount buys a mosquito net to protect a child from malaria, while the maximum purchases a peanut-based paste that can save a malnourished child.

Happy first birthday Hattie Margaret McDermott!

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott‘s youngest daughter celebrated her special day with an Alice in Wonderland-themed birthday bash — and everyone dressed for the occasion!

Dad was the Mad Hatter and Mom was the Queen of Hearts, while Liam, 5½, was a miniature version of his father. Stella, 4, was Alice, while 8-week-old Finn dressed as the potion that causes Alice to shrink. The birthday girl stood out from the pack in a rainbow tutu and Retro Crocs.

Guests dined on a four-tiered cake and went home with goodies from Playskool, Seventh Generation, Net Nanny and Mabel’s Labels.

Happy birthday Josselyn Sydney!

On Sunday, Sept. 16, Samantha Harris broke out the balloons to celebrate her daughter’s fifth birthday with an extra-special backyard bash.

“I can’t believe Jossie is already 5! It feels like it was yesterday when I announced I was pregnant with her live on Dancing with the Stars,” Harris tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Combining two of the birthday girl’s latest faves into one eclectic celebration, the festivities included a sweet Rapunzel tiered cake with a vanilla and chocolate swirl base topped off with red velvet and cream cheese frosted layers.

“We did a mash-up of Disney princesses and Nickelodeon’s Fresh Beat Band,” Harris shares of the big day.

“We had a Tangled-themed cake and table settings with a bouncy house that had all the Disney princesses on it with music from the kids TV show The Fresh Beat Band cranked up in the background. Josselyn was in heaven.”

Who better than to throw the perfect party than Martha Stewart?

In March, the doting grandma put her superb taste to the test as the host of her granddaughter Jude‘s first birthday, held at Perry St. in Manhattan.

Owned by family friend Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the modern eatery set the scene for the whimsical celebration that toyed with a stuffed animal theme stretching from the adorable centerpieces to the personalized placemats.

Outfitted in a beige silk skirt and a gray jersey tank top, the birthday girl arrived with mom Alexis, who dressed the part in her own beige satin number.

“Mother and daughter beamed as they entered the restaurant and saw the decorations for the first time,” Stewart recalls in the October issue of Martha Stewart Living.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
