Sarah Michelle Gellar is pregnant! It is unclear when the new addition will join the family, but autumn/fall 2012 is expected. Sarah, 35, and husband Freddie Prinze Jr, 36, are already parents to one of the cutest Hollywood babies on the block, 2-year old Charlotte Grace.

The Ringer and Buffy the Vampire Slayer star met her Prince Charming whilst filming I Know What You Did Last Summer. They co-starred again in Scooby Doo. Freddie got down on one knee in April 2001 and Sarah and Freddie tied the knot in 2002 in a destination wedding that was plagued by a hurricane and an earthquake. They waited seven years before becoming parents, of that Sarah said right after the birth of Charlotte "You need to be at a point in your life where you can give up anything and everything for a child. Every day I look at her and I am in awe."

Tamera Mowry is pregnant!

Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry-Housley is expecting her first child. The actress told People Magazine, "Adam and I are excited about having a baby and the blessing that he or she will bring to our lives and to our family an friends. We can't wait to meet this little miracle!"

Tamera, 33, and Adam Housley, 40, were wed in a ceremony last May. The actress and the National and International correspondent for FOX News initially said that babies weren't in their immediate future. However, during a trip to South Africa the newlyweds changed their minds. "It's just so beautiful there and you get a whole new perspective on life, the things that really matter. Adam and I looked at each other and said, 'Why wait?'"

The new addition to the Housley family is expected in early November. The Tia & Tamera star describes this time as the "happiest" of her life. "The first trimester was a little rough. I was extremely fatigued and had morning sickness - more like evening sickness. Luckily, it has subsided in my second trimester. I feel great as of now - more like myself."


The expectant parents are planning on finding out the sex of the baby and even though Tamera has a twin sister, she is hoping for a boy. "I want a boy because I have two brothers whom I love and adore. I helped raise my brothers so I have somewhat of an experience raising boys. I haven't the slightest idea about raising a girl. It's like the unknown." Twin sister Tia's first child, Cree Taylor, is a boy. Whether or not he'd like a boy or a girl as a playmate, I don't know.


For now, all Tamera wants is be the best possible mother to her baby. "I don't want to be too strict and I don't want to be too lenient. It'll be a balance. I also have to make sure I don't spoil my baby, because I naturally love to do so. I'll probably cry at everything - every mileston, every achievement. I hope I will be a great mom. Every mom-to-be says that and they say if you're thinking that you will be."

The couple are already parents to 3-year old daughter Naleigh, she is originally from South-Korea.

She also said, "My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born. I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea."

I wonder what name the new member of the Kelley family is given!

Femke moved from Dokkum (Friesland) to Gijsbert's farm in Abcoude (Noord-Holland), she and her son Romke have settled in the village. Now almost two years after they first met, the couple has happy news to share with us: they're expecting a baby brother or sister for Romke!

She writes that the couple is overjoyed and that little Romke is hoping for a little brother to play with, he's even taken it upon himself to come up with a name for his future playmate, although the names he comes up with are very 'cartoon figure'-style.

Congrats!

Johnny Depp performs with Marilyn Manson

Johnny Depp is an awesome actor and, as lots of us know, he's also a musician (showing his skills on guitar and drums with multiple bands such as Oasis). Yesterday he took to the stage with friend Marilyn Manson. Johnny, 48, played guitar during the entire Marilyn Manson performance at Revolver magazine's Golden Gods Awards at Club Nokia in L.A.

Being his usual ubercool self, Johnny rocked the guitar and wasn't recognized (or perhaps the audience was too baffled and didn't believe their own eyes). However, at the end of Sweet Dreams, Marilyn Manson said "If you don't recognize my personal friend... my personal savior... my personal guitar hero... Johnny Depp" and the crowd showed their appreciation by screaming and clapping.

When you weren't there to see it live (like me *sigh*), Johnny plays guitar and drums on the Marilyn Manson song (and Carly Simon cover) You're So Vain from the upcoming album Born Villain.
