PopSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 04:03:40 -0700

Jennifer Garner worked out on Saturday before spending her Sunday out in LA with a bearded Ben and big girl Violet. The trio stopped for lunch at the Giggles N Hugs restaurant and as usual Violet looked like the happiest kid in Hollywood. Besides her growing family, Jen has another reason to be smiling right alongside her daughter — her participation in Friday night's Stand Up To Cancer telethon helped the event raise over $100 million for their cause.

Batman Beckham Celebrates Turning Six With Bluebell

PopSugarUK — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Romeo Beckham aka Batman celebrated his sixth birthday yesterday, with a smattering of cute celebrity offspring among his guests. Mum Victoria led the caped crusader into his party at the Hard Rock Cafe, alongside his little brother Cruz who looked awesome (if a little grumpy) in a red Power Ranger costume. Gavin Rossdale left Gwen and new arrival Zuma at home, taking Kingston along to party it up with his friends. In his white wifebeater and jeans, perhaps he was going for the Ryan Atwood look?

Gorgeous Heidi Klum brought little Leni and Henry along, and Victoria's ex-bandmate Geri Halliwell brought beautiful redhead Bluebell too. I bet this event was far more fun than adult celebrity parties!

Kiddie Wellness: Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

lilsugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:00:39 -0700

We normally associate aches with elders so sometimes parents dismiss young children's complaints as growing pains. But that isn't always the case. Actress and mother of three, Jennie Garth, recently talked about a three month scare that she and her husband, Peter Facinelli, had with their five-year-old daughter. Lola. She said:

"It turned out to be a form of JRA [Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis] and we treated her and it's in remission," says Garth. "It was tough, but she's better now."

JRA can be caused by an overactive immune system, a virus or infection or genetics. To learn about the symptoms,

Naomi Watts looked like she didn't want Summer to end in her hot pink dress and white sunglasses out in NYC with her son today. Just like Naomi's baby bump, Alexander is getting so big — and in a few months we'll get to see him as an older brother. Exciting new job for the little guy, just as his mom is taking more on her plate as the face of Thierry Mugler's cosmetics line. Naomi's 40th birthday is coming up in a few weeks, just adding to everything the Watts-Schreiber family has to celebrate.

Christina Has Max To Light Up Her Life

PopSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 07:05:00 -0700

Christina Aguilera stepped out of her hotel in NYC yesterday matching Max who was snuggled up to her, with Jordan right behind. She's getting back to career mode with her new fragrance and album, but Christina gives her son credit for making life even sweeter. She recently said, "[He is] amazing, incredible. He just lights up my whole world every day with his laughs and his smiles. I definitely want to expand our family eventually, but for now, Mommy's going to work." Between her rumored VMA appearance and preparing for her album to hit the shelves exclusively at Target, this busy mommy seems ready to step back into the spotlight.

Museums Are a Playground For Max Bratman and All Babes

lilsugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:00:07 -0700

There's a period of time after a babe is born when some parents are at a loss over how to entertain the infant. The wee one may be old enough to venture out on daily outings, but too young to hold themselves up in the sand or on a swing, making trips to the playground a lil awkward when you don't have an older child or friends with kids. If buggy rides and "mommy and me" classes have you in the doldrums, consider one of the finer things in life — museums.

Songbird Christina Aguilera and her hubby, Jordan Bratman, recently took their mini me, Max, to his first exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

It was his first museum experience. It was the last day they were showing their superhero exhibit. So I wanted to catch that, actually," says Aguilera, 27

The seven-month-old is at a good age to take in the colors and patterns of artwork. Give your child some culture and take him or her to your local museum — many offer family memberships and discounts. Babies are not usually charged admission.

Violet Helps Jennifer Get Ready for Baby

PopSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:02:00 -0700

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck spent another of their girls-only afternoons together yesterday in LA. The pair swung by a children's clothing shop to stock up — with a soon-to-arrive fourth member of the Garner-Affleck clan there is shopping to be done. Even if there's another girl on the way, it looks like Violet's not about to make her favorite dress into a hand-me-down anytime soon.

Isla Is An Olive-aholic and A Big Screen Shopaholic Too

Molly — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:30:45 -0700

Isla Fisher was back with her matching mini me Olive on her hip on the way in to the Children's Gym in LA yesterday. The twosome is all over these days — lucky us — and even more exciting is that the trailer for Isla's Confessions of a Shopaholic is out! Check it out here. The movie looks like as much fun as a trip to Neimans (well, almost) and I can't wait to see Isla carry a movie all by herself. She certainly has more than enough charm for it.

Molly — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:45:00 -0700

Heidi, Seal and their kids are back in the states after their European Summer vacation and getting right back to the American attractions like Disneyland. The family trekked down to Anaheim for a day at the happiest place on earth including a spin in the teacups and the always popular Dumbo ride. Tell you one thing, it's a step up from an afternoon with Mickey. Of course Seal had his trusty camera along for the trip to capture yet another memorable day for what just may be one of the most fun-loving families in Hollywood.
