Rebecca Romijn: changed by motherhood blah blah blah

It was only a matter of time before the magazines started to bid over Rebecca Romijn's baby photos...and strangely enough InStyle is the winner. In the June cover feature, the Ugly Betty actress says motherhood makes her feel 'whole' and 'like I understand the meaning of life'. Seriously, gag me. I get so nauseated by the endless celebrity gushing about how amazing motherhood is. Anyway, I was interested by her comments about her post-baby body:

"I feel as sexy as I have ever felt," says Romijn. "I'm a jeans size up from where I usually am, but there's nothing about it that freaks me out—I've always said that sexy is having a really strong sense of yourself and never taking yourself too seriously."

Rebecca Romijn drops baby weight

Surprise, surprise. Rebecca Romijn has lost 60 lbs after giving birth to twins four months ago. Apparently, she says it was all due to breastfeeding:

"It's like you have to eat 5,000 extra calories a day or you can't produce enough food for them. So, that's been fun as well". [You only need a few hundred extra calories, but who's counting, right?)

The actress hasn't been exercising either:

"I think within the first three weeks, I took off like 35 lbs. without doing anything!" says says. "I haven't been able to work out that much because I have twins. It's impossible to get back into a regular schedule."

But she does acknowledge, "I'm not pretending to be back to the shape I was in beforehand anyway. I still have a ways to go. We've got Spanx underneath almost everything."

If only it were that easy for everyone else....

Rebecca Romijn welcomes twins

Rebecca Romijn, 36, has given birth to twin girls, Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip.

Romijn has been on bed rest for the last few months. She told Page Six magazine in November that she was ready to give birth.

'I can't move anymore...I'm a beached whale!' she said. "I have not been without a bra this entire pregnancy. I refuse. I'm not taking any chances. I'm determined to keep the puppies up!"

Men: missing all logic and reason

In the immortal words of Jennifer Aniston as she spoke of her philandering ex-husband Brad Pitt, it seems that Jerry O'Connell (hubby to Rebecca Romijn) is missing a 'sensitivity chip'.

O'Connell went on Conan O'Brien on Friday to say that Rebecca was 'huge' and that he told her this regularly. Right. Well, twins will do that to a gal.

He's now issued an public apology:

"I regret calling my wife 'huge. I meant to say that there are specific areas of my wife that are larger than normal and growing every day. All other portions of my wife are quite petite. I apologize to her and will be coming home with flowers."

A dozen roses per baby?

Totally off topic: No photos of Rebecca Romijn have surfaced as yet. Interesting.

Mixed bag of pregnancy lollies

Information that you probably could probably do without. Sometimes it amazes me that these things are considered 'news' items:

Angelina Jolie did not conceive her twins through IVF:

"If they had been conceived through IVF, we would have been happy to discuss it," she says. "But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems."
