Nicole Richie was in labor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, but she had her baby already and even left the hospital with Joel Madden, and her baby according to her rep. The baby was a girl named Harlow Winter Kate Madden, and weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz. Amazing! Who leaves the hospital the same day they have a baby? Some people do.

Christina Aguilera went into labor today, and was also rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, but she’s already had her baby. Looks like Christina missed her scheduled C-Section before the weekend.

Actress Courtney Thorne Smith also gave birth to a baby boy today, and so did David Alan Grier’s wife.

Jessica Alba says pregnancy is “awesome!,” but she rarely smiles, and works out constantly to keep her pre-pregnancy body. Yeah, I believe her. NOT.

Just one day after David Beckham admitted to Barbara Walters that he would like two more children, Victoria Beckham may have had her band mate announce her pregnancy. During a Spice Girls concert on Friday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Geri Halliwell was rumored to have announced, "She’s pregnant!" during the call-out segment of "Wannabe." You know, when the girls sing, "We got G like MC who likes it on an Easy V doesn’t come for free, she’s a real lady," but instead of that last line, Ginger pointed at Posh’s tummy and made the announcement.

Victoria, who already has three kids, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5, and Cruz, 2, has said she would be open to having more kids once the reunion shows are over, she wouldn’t be the first singer to be pregnant on tour. Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, and Christina Aguilera all toured recently while pregnant.

The world needs another Beckham.

Christina Aguilera in another shot from her photoshoot with Marie Claire.

Christina Aguilera is downright giggly as she opens up for the first time about her baby boy, her marriage, and her future in the "Sexy Mama" cover article featured in the January 2008 issue of Marie Claire, on newsstands nationally December 11. Excerpts and quotes from the article include:

It turns out the pregnancy was a bit of a surprise for her and husband Jordan Bratman:

"We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take. You’ve heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here… I’m like, Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?" said Aguilera.

Aguilera figures she got pregnant when Bratman was visiting her in Georgetown, during the U.S. leg of her ’Back to Basics’ tour… Only problem was she still had a month left on an eight-month world tour where she changes costumes at least 10 times during the show, hangs from a circus pinwheel, rides a carousel horse, plays a dominatrix, and wears major heels throughout:

"I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong — somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show." So she wore a well-concealed heart monitor. She didn’t want to broadcast the news. "I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ’Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back."

Aguilera talks about her simple decision not to announce her pregnancy. Somehow it figures that the criminally uncircumspect Paris Hilton would be the one to spill the beans, at an MTV Video Music Awards party. [When asked] if Hilton’s faux pas angered her, she shrugs it off. "Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ’Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl."

Aguilera says she likes the idea of a big family, although she doesn’t have a set number of kids in mind… But the domestication of Christina Aguilera is likely to be complicated. What will it mean for someone who has treated her confrontational sexuality as both a rallying cry and a right?

"We’re so labeled. If you’re too sexual, you’re slutty. If you’re not sexual enough, you’re a prude. I like to put it out there as a topic of conversation. Why does it bother you? What’s your problem with it? Am I really hurting you? Let’s get to the root of it. I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing. Sometimes I want to be aggressive, sometimes I want to feel empowered in my sexuality and my vulnerability. I want to put all that out there."

It seems although Christina Aguilera is pregnant, paparazzi are always out to get the money shot, even when it insults the senses. There’s nothing scandalous like a foot sticking out, it’s just a vagina, or a fold of skin, or something resembling a vagina in pantihose. Even though I could have appreciated this shot much more many months ago, I guess it’s better late than never. Click the thumbnail for a bigger NSFW picture.
