Mummy makeover story

Looks like I'm writing a story about post-baby plastic surgery holidays for one of the Melbourne weekend magazines. So. If you you or anyone you know has had a mummy makeover (or is thinking about it) or gone overseas to have a bit of a post-baby nip and tuck, please email me.

Eating for two

Charlotte Church is apparently freaking out about her weight and she doesn't want a ‘bum bigger than her bump’.

‘I’m trying hard to regulate what I eat,’ she tells the Sunday Mirror. ‘Indulging yourself is the down side to pregnancy.’

Her daughter Ruby is 11 months old. Charlotte is due in November.

Breasts are not just for babies anymore?

Brits are all up in arms because TV presenter Kate Garraway appears to be breastfeeding a calf in a promotional poster for a documentary she is promoting about cross-feeding.

'I'm on a journey to find people who believe milk has to be from the breast, people who buy it, sell it, people who give it away and people who even feed each other's babies,' said the 41-year-old.

'To many this might seem weird, but they challenge us that it's actually much weirder to give our babies cows' milk than it is to drink milk from another woman.'

Other People's Breast Milk, one in a series of female-led documentaries, will be broadcast on Channel 4 on September 9.

Offensive?

The Brangelina Bunch

Apparently Brad Pitt shot a series of photos of her and the brood for the November issue of W. He last collaborated with W in July 2005 for a series of photos of he and Ange dressed up as a 1960s married couple, very sensitively released shortly after he and Jen were splitsville.

Porn star pregnancy. No, seriously.

Porn queen Jenna Jameson, 34, is pregnant. The 'devout Catholic' says she is still in a state of shock but she and her martial arts fighter boyfriend, Tito Ortiz, are ecstatic. Strangely, there was a fake news report last month that she was pregnant after she appeared in the PETA ad above. She says she wasn't pregnant at the time but it prompted to her to have a test and she was actually pregnant.

Laila Ali in fighting form

Laila Ali is featured in the September issue of Pregnancy magazine. As the daughter of Muhammad Ali, Laila, also a professional boxer and host of American Gladiators, is planning to have a homebirth:

"Society tells you, 'You get pregnant, you go to the hospital,' and that was just naturally what I was going to do, but once I saw that there was another option, it just fit me," she explains. "I want to be fully present. I don't want any medications. I just want to be in control of the situation -- as much as I can be anyway."

Of course she's working out four days a week and trying to eat well:

"I always thought I was going to gain a lot of weight because I'm a big girl naturally. I walk around at 175 lbs, I'm 5'11", and I love to eat," Laila reveals. "I thought, 'Oh God, I'm going to be like 250 lbs and huge.' I know a lot of women have that fear. But because I'm already a big girl, I was just imagining myself to be a giant."

"I haven't had any problems, no cravings or nausea," she says. "I have gained 25 pounds, but I'm going to go back to that gym and work it all off so I'm not really worried about it."
