We’ve all been waiting for this to happen for soooooo long, but Beyonce and Jay-Z, the best celebrity couple in the world ever, are definitely expecting their first child.
At the VMAs on Saturday night, Beyonce made it very clear that she is definitely pregnant as she posed on the red carpet in a slouchy orange dress with her hands clutching her visible baby bump, telling the press, “I have a surprise!”
The “Run The World (Girls)” singer took to the stage later in the evening and sang “Love On Top” while proudly showing off her quite evident bump to her fans while Jay-Z watched with a great big grin on his face. Ain’t love grand?
For any sceptics that may remain unconvinced (yeah yeah, we know there have been false rumours about Beyonce having a baby before), her publicist went on the record after the VMAs, telling People.com, “I’m happy to say it’s true.”
Beyonce has been talking for some time about how she’s determined to become a mother: “When you’re young – 18 or 19 – you have the energy and drive. That’s the time to work as hard as you can. Now I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.”
Congratulations, Beyonce and Jay-Z!

Lily Allen said this morning that her impressive baby bump is making her feel “like a penguin”.
The singer tweeted this morning: “I feel like a penguin, not the chocolate covered biscuity kind, but an actual penguin that waddles … now can’t stop thinking about chocolatey penguins doh! (sic).” Get the hubby to run down the road for you, Lil!
Lily must be really feeling the pregnancy now as she’s just entered the third trimester. Not long until there’ll be a little Allen running around mouthing off to everyone.. We recommend she uses her time wisely now to eat as many Penguin biscuits as she physically can.
The singer is getting into the swing of family life since marrying Sam Cooper earlier this summer, and is getting ready for the new arrival by getting handy with a needle and thread. Lily said on her new hobby: “I’m being taught how to knit. I’m so not rock ‘n’ roll anymore. I’m embroidering too. I’m actually in the process of making cushions.” Awwww.

At the CFDA Fashion Awards Jessica wore a bump-skimming maxi dress in lilac and peach. We're obsessed with this maxi - answers on a postcard for where we can find it, please
Earlier today we reported that one of our favourite celebrity mummas, Jessica Alba, had finally given birth to her second daughter – congrats to her etc etc – and in tribute to one of our most beautiful and stylish heroes, we’re taking a look over her mum-to-be style over the past few months.
Jessica has taken on the challenge of fashionably dressing a bump with determination, and we think she totally succeeded. Pregnant ladies, take note of how the actress teamed floaty, comfortable maxi dresses with costume jewellery and hippy-inspired hair for a beautifully effortless look. We particularly loved her outfit at the 2011 Costume Institute Benefit Gala (a place where we can imagine baby bumps aren’t exactly en vogue), where she teamed a gorgeous floor-skimming silver chiffon gown with romantic, soft hair for a look that was pure Midsummer Night’s Dream.
We’ve put together a gallery of Jessica’s best maternity outfits, which you can see above. The best dressed mum in Hollywood? Oh, we think so.

Congratulations to Momma Alba! The Spy Kids actress, who’s been breathtakingly pregnant for a while now, finally gave birth on Saturday to her new baby girl.
The new baby, who’s been named Haven Garner, will join her three-year-old sister Honor in the Warren/Alba clan. Jessica announced Haven’s arrival on her Facebook page: “She was born on Saturday, weighed 7 lbs. and was 19 inches long. Healthy and happy! Big sister Honor couldn’t be more excited about the new addition to our family. Thank you for all of your support during my pregnancy. It means the world to me.” Aw, you’re welcome.
Haven’s arrival into the world has been long-awaited – before the birth Jessica spoke about the new addition to the family and about how excited she was. “The idea of loving someone as much as I love Honor is something I haven’t wrapped my head around yet. But I know I will and I can’t wait. As a mother carrying a baby we get to bond while the baby is growing – reaching each milestone, feeling hiccups, kicks, rolling around. It’s the blessing I think we get for all the round-ligament pain, sciatic pain and frequent trips to the bathroom.”
We love a new celebrity baby – congrats again to Jessica Alba and her hubby Cash Warren.

30 year-old Spy Kids actress Jessica Alba has confessed that having a second baby on the way, following having her daughter Honor, has made her feel more like she is “officially” a mother.
Jessica has been happily decorating her nest and preparing a new nursery for the new arrival, but has intimated what she’s most excited about is the idea of expanding her family.
She said: “It feels like you’re really officially, really truly a mother when you have two kids. One kid you’re a mother for sure but two takes it to another level.” Yep, twice as much baby poo to clean up Jess! We’re only kidding – congratulations, girl.

Katie Holmes has admitted that she often takes inspiration from her tiny daughter Suri’s already refined luxurious sense of style.
Being the super-child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri has developed an expensive taste for designer dresses, ladylike handbags and high heels. (To be honest it’s no surprise that Katie digs her daughter’s style so much when little Suri dresses like a 40-year old PTA member.)
Katie said about her daughter’s budding love for fashion, “My daughter has been choosing her own outfits since she was two. We go to fabric stores and sew together … Suri is my style critic. I know I look good when Suri asks if she can have my outfit when she’s older. Suri is magical when it comes to clothes – she’s quite an artist.”

The super-beauty Jessica Alba, who is currently 8 months pregnant with her second baby, is already running up a plan of action for an exercise regime once the baby is born.
The new body-blitz regime will include a daily 45 minute workout session combined with a calorie limit of 1,200 calories daily. It’s times like this we don’t envy the stars – after having a baby us normal people can stay as fat as we like.
Poor Jessica has admitted that working out is not her idea of fun at all, saying, “Getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated. In the gym, I have like five things to distract me: TV, iPod, magazines. Working partners are good, too, so you can chat and not just drown in your own misery. Sorry, does that sound bad? I just hate working out.” So do we, Jess, so do we!
So it’s good to know that she is planning to make the most of the end of her pregnancy before the gruelling workout and diet plan begins. If I was her, I’d be eating from Dominos in the meanwhile at least once a day.

Rachel Zoe, one of Hollywood’s most famous fashion stylists, has surprised us all with the news that she has banned herself from wearing heels while carrying her new four-month old son Skyler. (Yes, we know… Skyler.)
The diminutive fashion power-house is well-known for her passion for ankle-breaking high heels, but has decided to forgo them for now as she adjusts to being a new mummy, with the reasoning that it’s far safer to carry your baby in flats.
Zoe said about the new heel ban: “”I had better balance pregnant than not pregnant. My rule is I do not hold my child in heels.”
Quite right, and good for her, though I bet she’s already itching to get back into her Louboutins.

I’ve always liked to think that I’m on the ball when it comes to the latest fashions and it seems mother nature thinks so too, putting me slap bang into the hottest celebrity trend of 2011 – pregnancy.
That’s right, come August I’ll be joining Hollywood’s A-listers and introducing a new addition to the Shiny family in the shape of a Cath Kidston clad little boy.
However, whilst I hope to be a yummy mummy, I can guarantee I won’t be snapping straight back into stick thin shape like Abbey Clancy, nor have I remained super skinny like Victoria Beckham.
In fact I’ve embraced my bump in the same way as Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson and Selma Blair, and even found some gorgeous maternity clothes.
But that’s enough about me. View the gallery below to see who I’m joining on the pregnancy front.

January Jones feels “lucky” with how well her pregnancy has gone.
The ‘Mad Men’ actress – who announced she was expecting her first child last month but refused to name the father – is feeling great although is a little disappointed she has not had any odd cravings.
January – who is planning to raise her baby as single parent – said: “I feel great. I haven’t had any weird physical side effects. I feel pretty lucky so far.
“Everybody is asking if I’ve had any odd cravings. I haven’t yet. It’s a bummer. I wish I had something weird to tell.”
While she is planning to be a single mother, January – whose relationship with ‘Saturday Night Live’ star Jason Sudeikis ended earlier this year – recently would like to go out with an “interesting” guy, but admitted it was tough to find love.
The ‘X-Men: First Class’ star: “I would love to find an interesting man to date but people don’t seem to date so much anymore. It’s more of a hanging out process.
“It’s hard to find romance, the kind of love story that carries you away. I would love to have that. I’m pretty idealistic when it comes to love.”

Kelly Brook is to design her own range of maternity clothes.
The model-and-actress is currently pregnant with her first child and she has been asked by British high street chain New Look to create a line of stylish clothes for mothers-to-be to wear.
Kelly – who has already got her own underwear and swimwear range with the popular store – said: “A few fun projects have come about because I am pregnant: New look want me to do a maternity range for them to come out in June and I have been designing some rag dolls for a friend of mine who makes children’s toys.
“I still work with Reebok, who have been very supportive and are looking forward to seeing me get back in shape in September.”
Despite being pregnant, Kelly is determined to be look good throughout her pregnancy and recently revealed how she dresses up more when she’s in London.
She said: “When I’m in London I like dressing up. I’ll wear lots of 50s-style prom dresses, pencil skirts, and blouses because they really flatter my hourglass figure. But right now I’m living in LA so I’m living in jeans and t-shirts.”
