Her baby, Weston, was born last September, so the Office star knows what it is about. In her interview for Celebuzz the actress spoke disparagingly of celebrity mothers’ growing trend to slim down almost immediately upon giving birth.

Fischer said that a new mom gets under so much pressure that worries over what people expect her body should be looking like in a matter of weeks after delivery oughtn’t to aggravate it. She flares up when she sees another photo of somebody striking poses in a bikini some two months after having a baby.

The thought of having given birth to a human being ought to outweigh these petty considerations, and mothers deserve a “free pass,” the 38-year-old mom asserts. It’s the time for celebrating and not for taking drastic steps to get back to pre-baby bod.

“Let me please stand in solidarity with all of the women who are not a size 2 six weeks after leaving the hospital,” Fischer told Us Weekly at the Screen Actors Guild Awards four months after she gave birth to Weston. She also accentuated that she is happy with her figure and means to stay this way “for a little bit longer.”

Another thing the actress doesn’t stand for is the breastfeeding excuse one sometimes gets from celeb moms. In her case breastfeeding wasn’t affecting her weight, she said.

Weston is the first child for Jenna Fischer and her husband screenwriter Lee Kirk, who got married in 2010.

Sunbeds are addictive and not quite harmless, as is borne out by a number of experts in the field. Talking to NJ.com, Sophie Balk, a pediatrician at New York’s Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, explained that the phenomenon of addiction to artificial sunbathing, known as “tanorexia,” gives the feeling of relaxation that many people develop a habit for. Later they may find it hard to give up the habit and even suffer from withdrawal symptoms. “They may know it’s bad but they can’t cut back,” she concluded, adding that withdrawal causes anxiety and fits of depression. Jeanine Downie, a dermatologist in Montclair, New Jersey, says sunbathing can cause addiction due to the release of dopamine, for this neurotransmitter enhances a sense of well-being. Besides, there are chronic tanners who cling to the belief that dark skin makes them look healthier and more beautiful.

By now it’s common knowledge that too much sunbed lying is fraught with health threat: the danger of developing skin cancer becomes much higher in tanorexics. The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that sunbathers run 4 times more risk of developing melanoma. Dr. Downie says it’s not surprising since tanning beds are about 15 times as ultraviolet active as the sun – therefore a chronic tanner increases his or her chances of melanoma by 75 % with every next tan. According to authorities, Ms Krentcil brought her fair-complexioned daughter with her to a tanning salon, and the child ended up with multiple burns. The girl was 5, whereas the New Jersey law prohibits the use of tanning salon to children below 14.

Ms Krentcil admits to having developed a tanning habit. On the following day the girl’s kindergarten teacher saw the burns covering the girls’ body and called in medical help. Eventually Ms Krentcil was arrested and taken to the Superior Court where she was accused of child endangerment. Ms Krentcil was heard to say before the hearing that the accusation was a “made up” affair. At the court she pleaded not guilty through her attorney.

In a while – Beyoncé says – she no longer felt primed and primped, and found consolation only in the fact that it goes for everybody. “After being pumped with all those fluids and gaining so much weight … I barely recognized myself,” the pop star confessed.

Then came hours of labor, and Beyoncé found herself worrying about her appearance less and less while her mind turned to her and Jay-Z’s “miracle.” The new mom shared she began to feel connection with her body, her power and – finally – the meaning of what was happening.

Beyoncé came through the delivery with extra 50 pounds, nearly a half of it gained during the last month of pregnancy, and she knew she had to get rid of it. As soon as she started breastfeeding her weight started to come down – and fast! The singer had been breastfeeding for 10 weeks and recommends it to all moms as the thing best for both women and babies.

After about a month had passed, the 30-year-old mom turned to workouts and diet to drop the rest of the lbs, grading up from walking to running and then to three-four workout sessions a week. A relentless counting of calories was initiated, all things delicious were rigidly excluded without exceptions and cheating… And then Beyoncé was back into her pre-baby waist.

She professed to be happy and proud of herself for that achievement that she mostly ascribes to breastfeeding – although she did own up to being some four pounds away from her previous weight. Nevertheless, she acquired a new feeling about her body, an unaccustomed softness that she thinks is due to hormones that “are still in my body.” It is a kind of unexplainable magic, shares Beyoncé, and it leaves her with sheer pride for being a woman.

The actors’ first daughter, Ramona, born 2006, now has a sister, Gloria Ray. Gyllenhaal’s rep informed PEOPLE that the girl was born in New York on April 19, Thursday.

The first news of the Sherrybaby star’s pregnancy came in November, the baby’s gender was revealed in March.

The 34-year-old mother recently shared that she had to conceal her condition, which she found a trying thing to do. She didn’t open up about her pregnancy before she was into the fourth month.

Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard have been together since 2002 and married in Italy in 2009. The actress will next appear in Won’t Back Down; her husband’s next flick is Lovelace.

The couple got acquainted in 1997 while filming a horror movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” but they began to date only three years later. After another two years, they had a splendid wedding in Mexico, and in 2009 they had a daughter Charlotte Grace.

Sarah and Freddie are very caring parents, and they even try to take turns starring in films, not to leave their daughter for a long time. In addition, the couple are known in Hollywood for still having romantic ardor:

“They still have date nights all the time and have a normal life. They both came of age in Hollywood and love working, but their home life is more important to them.”

The rumors that keep pestering the singer – who is hailed as PEOPLE’s 2012 Most Beautiful Woman – sprang up when the news of her pregnancy was unveiled. Gossip had it that Beyoncé and Jay-Z had opted to have their first child via a surrogate mother.

As the singer shared with PEOPLE, the rumor was so stupid that she didn’t even feel offended. “It was just crazy,” were her thoughts, and how on Earth people come up with that sort of utterly foolish nonsense.

Naturally, the reaction of Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, was different, with a harsher side to it. She referred to the surrogacy rumors as “diabolical.”

She admitted that she had felt pained by the absurdity of the speculations that were “unfair” and “cruel.” And while she was wondering who would want to play it up for nine months, now and then she had to deal with the rumors firsthand – like with an Australian interview that spoke of Beyoncé displaying a prosthetic bump. Knowles had to answer back explaining that it was but a fold in the fabric.

The birth of little Blue Ivy did nothing to kill off the speculations! Moreover, a new rumor rose, to the effect that Beyoncé and Jay-Z had demanded unusually heavy security measures that interfered with the hospital life. Once again the 30-year-old singer had to comment on the ridiculousness of it.

Thankfully, the stupid rumors were far outweighed by good wishes and love messages from Beyoncé’s fans worldwide, said Knowles, their support helped live down the plague of irresponsible allegations.

The Rancics have gone through infertility problems, a disastrous miscarriage and Giuliana’s developing breast cancer. Most of the bumpy ride went into creating of the Style Network reality show Giuliana & Bill with a fifth season in progress.

Rancic took her miscarriage two years ago so hard that she was on the verge of giving up on the whole idea. “I was angry at life and at God,” she said about the time, although after a while she rallied round and the family resorted to in vitro fertilization.

The keen desire made Rancic’s mind in favor of having a double mastectomy done in December, for lumpectomy and radiation therapy mean years of medication treatment which would have rendered childbearing impossible.

The Rancics are going to be genetic parents; the gestational carrier is said to live in another state, but the couple make a point of accompanying her to the doctor’s checkups.

They already know the sex of the baby, but they would like to keep it secret for a while, said Giuliana, and see how long they succeed in it!

Outrageous Lady Gaga does not just talk about planning to create a family and raise children. However, previously the singer assured her fans that this would not happen before she released ten new albums. Apparently, Lady Gaga will not keep her word: the close to the singer sources report that the star is going to give birth in the coming year.

The main reason for such radical changes in her priorities might be Lady Gaga’s new boyfriend, actor Taylor Kinney. The couple began dating in mid-2011, and by the end of the year the beloved decided to live together. And so, despite the fact that Kinney asked Lady Gaga to abandon her shocking image, which brought her success, the singer began to make plans for their future life.

A credible source told the reporters that Gaga was already choosing a name for the baby, jotting down the options she liked. She constantly talks about how pretty the baby will be, because Taylor is “just handsome”!

It is with Taylor that she wants love, marriage and family. But Lady Gaga is firmly determined first to give birth and then to get married. And the singer’s friend told that the baby had to be born as early as next year! It seems that this time the singer really has serious intentions. Previously, when Gaga dated Luke Charles, she did not think about children. And now she cannot talk about any other things!

The singer got acquainted with the 30-year-old Kinney in the summer of 2011, during the shooting of the video for the song «You and I». By that time, the actor of the “Vampire Diaries” was already thinking about how to start a family. As reported by Taylor’s friends, he remained “on cloud nine” because he had wanted to settle down and have a normal family life for a long time.

Another confirmation of the couple’s serious intentions was their joint visit to Taylor Kinney’s family in Lancaster, where they informed the family of the actor about their desire to become parents.

It is difficult to say, how the change of personal status will affect Lady Gaga’s work and career because previously the singer had said that for the sake of music she “would be married to loneliness”. Fortunately, the experience of her stage colleagues showed that having children did not hinder the career development. So, the singer Beyonce, who gave birth to a daughter Ivy Blue on January 7, 2012, is already actively working to regain her shape at the gym and plans to star in a movie again.

The daughter, the first for the couple, came into the world in Los Angeles, 9 lbs 1 oz of weight, and was named Mabel Ray Willis. According to the rep, the mother and the baby are doing fine.

Mabel Ray marks Willis and Heming-Willis’s fourth year together.

Duff, 24, successfully delivered her first child with hubby Mike Comrie, son Luca Cruz, and now hastens to catch up on her social life. First she stepped out for a dinner with a friend that came off with a gaffe that sent shellfish flying.

Describing it on Twitter on Tuesday, the actress said she couldn’t be taken anywhere right now for having sent a shrimp tail flying into the eye her dinner companion!

Eventually everything was fine, “no tears,” as the Devoted star wrote having arrived home in time for feeding her son and continuing her exploration of “this motherhood thing.”

Well, the other way round it was a little better – on Thursday Duff came round to West Hollywood hair salon Nine Zero One, to have her hair done by her dresser Riawna Capri. The visit inspired her enough to upload her photo on the Twitter, saying she was “feelin fresh.”

We’re sure, most mothers would love to have such a post-baby body as Hillary Duff has!

Perhaps the romantic parent just follows the example of some star mothers, who at various times allowed their sons to display shoulder-length hair.

The Story of Rean Carter’s Long Hair

According to Leeanne Smith, the mother of the long-haired angel, when Rean was born, his head was adorned with golden curls. The hair grew, and she just could not raise her hand to cut it. Now Rean has very soft long hair, and he is often mistaken for a girl while walking along the street. Previously, the boy would not get offended at all, he just laughed in response…

As soon as the handsome boy went to school, everything changed. The mother had to do the hair in a ponytail, and the classmates immediately thought it was an occasion for jokes. Tired of ridicule, Rean asked his mother to take him to the barber. But the lady weeps at the mere thought that she will have to cut the boy’s hair. She is sure she will just burst into tears when it happens. For the golden locks not to be wasted, the child’s parents want to give them to the cancer treatment center, where they can be used to make a wig.

Celine Dion’s Son René-Charles Used to Have Long Hair

Rean is not the only boy with long hair. René-Charles, Celine Dion‘s son, had once been known for having magnificent hair. The boy, who is now 11 years old, used to have his hair below his shoulders, and he never collected and sticked it. Oprah Winfrey asked Celine in 2008 why she would not take the boy to a beauty salon. The singer said it was the boy who decided when to get a haircut. By that time René had not voiced any of such plans, but Celine Dion was sure that once her son would have his hair cut. And a year later, René finally came with an idea to have his first haircut at the age of eight years.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s Son James Wilkie Loves Having Long Hair

Sarah Jessica Parker‘s son is another fan of long hair. James Wilkie’s reluctance to have a “haircut like a boy” does not bother his mother, but raises much discussion in the press. From time to time, tabloids appear with the headlines like “Is it time for a haircut, James Wilkie?” or “Sarah Jessica has no time to take her son to the barber?” At the same time Parker is confident that her child’s desire really matters, and if he does not want to cut his hair, let him have it.

Kate Hudson’s Son Ryder Was Against Hair Cut

But Kate Hudson still took her child to the barber, as he grew older. Ryder Robinson, Kate’s eldest son from her marriage to rocker Chris Robinson, did not want to get a haircut at first. The little boy followed the example of his long-haired father. Kate admitted before the haircut that it must have been the influence of his father. The boy just liked how Chris looked, and he wanted to be the same.

Cindy Crawford’s Son Presley Walker

Cindy Crawford’s son, as well as our first hero Rean, had been too often confused with girls just before he cut off his blond curls. Presley now looks like a man. But the beauty is still with him, irrespective of the long or short hair.

What do you think about the children’s haircuts? Do we need to take into account the child’s opinion in such matters?

“Another little McDermott is on the way,” wrote the sTORI Telling author, saying that the whole family feels blessed at the expected visit of “another angel.”

The post also contained a picture of Spelling’s naked stomach with the hands of her children touching it.

Spelling, 38, and McDermott, 45, have three children – son Liam Aaron, born 2007, daughter Stella Doreen, born the following year, and last year’s Hattie Margaret.

Duff and her husband, NHL player Mike Comrie, married in August 2010, and just a year later, last August, she let know that she was pregnant. Later the sex of the child was revealed, and finally, on March 20, she delivered a son named Luca Cruz.

The 24-year-old mom went to Twitter to announce the great news, informing that Luca Cruz was born Tuesday evening, weighed 7 lbs 6 oz, is healthy and very much welcome! Duff and Comrie “feel like the luckiest parents in the world,” she added.

Ever since she learned she was with a baby, the singer-cum-actress had been looking forward for the time when the child will arrive. Discussing the expected birth with Us Weekly in December 2011, Duff told that everybody was saying to her to get as much sleep as she could, and she invariably replied that she was only thinking of the boy, what he will look like and how they would be playing together.

What’s more, Luca Cruz isn’t going to stop her from recording – on the contrary. Naturally, spilled Duff, during the first few months she will be learning hard how to be a perfect mom, but afterwards she is going to succumb to an itch to release a new album and go on tour. “It might take a little while but I’m really excited about it,” says the With Love singer

Us Weekly reports from a source close to the actress that the Legally Blonde star and her husband Jim Toth – who have been wanting to have a mutual child from the start – are expecting an arrival, and Witherspoon is happy. They feel that “the timing is right,” the source added.

The actress, whose 36th birthday falls on Thursday, married CAA talent agent Toth almost a year ago in an unostentatious ceremony at her home in Ojai, California.

The source said Witherspoon is past her third month, and for the time being has no intention to make the news public. In her recent pictures taken during a lunch with friends in Santa Monica on Tuesday she certainly looks like one trying to conceal her growing stomach.

The couple’s first child will be Witherspoon’s third, sibling to her two children with first hubby Ryan Phillippe (they both starred in Cruel Intentions), Ava, 12, and Deacon, 8. Witherspoon and Phillippe married in 1999 and separated in 2006. It’s going to be Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth’s first child together.

Lima’s marriage to Serbian basketballer Marko Jaric, 33, began with a romantic elopement on St. Valentine’s Day three years ago, and it looks as if they aren’t going to be unmindful about children! The news came on Twitter with the model’s Tuesday message telling that she and Marco would like to share with everyone the wonderful news of her pregnancy.

Her family is happy, added the Victoria’s Secret face on the microblogging site, saying that “my favorite job in the world is being a mom!”

Valentina may well have been a good incentive for that statement, with her mother gushing to Us Weekly in 2010 that it was the first time she was hurrying home every day to see her little girl. Lima also spoke of discoveries she was constantly making about Valentina. Last August she told the New York Post that the 2-year-old was already speaking English, Serbian and Portuguese.

On March 28 we will see the happy mother’s gorgeous bikini bod in the Victoria’s Secret Swim catalog for 2012.

So her new life, as revealed Tuesday on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, is full of vigor and passion, shared happily with her fiancé, 32-year-old former NFL player Eric Johnson. The multi-platinum recording artist confessed that she was constantly what she called “feeling intimate” like never before, and in a big way! When it comes to being together, she said she was practically “unstoppable.”

And what about her fiancé? Johnson doesn’t let her down and is always there to come along with her wishes.

Also, her recent posing nude for Elle’s April issue was another idea of Simpson’s that rose from her new terms with her body. During the talk she revealed that it wasn’t the mag people who had thought of the nude cover pic, it was she who had come up with the idea – because it “just seemed a natural thing for me to do.”

The fashion designer, 31, added that she felt super-confident about appearing naked even though she was so glaringly out of shape! The very sensation of being much heavier than ordinarily (around 170 pounds) and feeling confident notwithstanding is new and invigorating to Simpson. She said she was proud of her coming motherhood and of her body in particular!

The one thing she is longing for now is for her daughter to leave her belly and come onto her arms.

The 35-year-old actor’s Twitter message said that a son was born to the couple on March 13, Tuesday. Van Der Beek acknowledges his wife’s role in the birth, but writes as if he had the child himself, so overwhelmed by feelings is he.

He further wrote that fatherhood had “heart expanding” in a way that would stop all the wars if it could be shared with the mankind.

The couple made known that they were expecting their second in October. They had been blessed with the birth of Olivia and didn’t think the feeling could be much deeper when they had become aware that Olivia’s sibling was on the way, wrote Van Der Beek back then.

The actor has his new series coming out mid-April on ABC, entitled Don’t Trust the B – in Apt. 23.

Particulars about little Henry’s life came to light last Thursday at a Bones press conference as Deschanel revealed to PEOPLE that the boy had cut two teeth – “very advanced for his age,” gushed the mother, changing it for a milder “unusual” on second thoughts.

There was also a mention of the Bones baby, the long-awaited child of Brennan and Booth in Season 7. The scene of the baby’s birth turned out to be unexpectedly more difficult as the baby peed on Deschanel and her film partner David Boreanaz.

It was actually the second time the 35-year-old star was peed on that day – and “by two different babies,” cried she saying that Henry had got there before.

Yet these minor troubles don’t detract from the fact that the actress is overwhelmed by her motherhood. “Henry’s awesome,” she shared with reporters, adding that she enjoys the experience – though it involves far less sleep!

The famous (and very lucrative!) fashion line creator and her fiancé Eric Johnson are to become parents this spring, and Simpson is wondering whether the girl will be athletic like her father or fashionista like her mother. It would be hard on her, says the 31-year-old, if she turned out athletic and would go for sports bras and Nikes. “I swear, I will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins!” Simpson exclaims.

Anyway, the name for the spring baby will be something special. They have decided upon the name, says Jessica, it won’t be anything brow-raising or ground-breaking… “When people hear it, they’ll know … why.”

Simpson’s daughter made her presence felt quite soon, her mother shares, just when she and Johnson were going on a roadtrip to Venice Beach, Calif., for a day of riding on bikes, drinking and hanging out. “I started feeling this overwhelming guilt,” the TV celeb shared.

Surprised at the feeling, Simpson figured that something wasn’t quite the way it should be – and took a pregnancy test that told her she was with a baby. It meant a radical change of her life! She had not thought that she might give up her pleasures – like scotch or Macallan 18. Also, cravings set in. “A big thing of water sounds great!”

So, pregnancy is not about comforts to Simpson! Another reason for concern is that – as the ob/gyn prediction says – the girl is going to weight around 10 lbs, just what her beloved sportsman weighed when he was born. J.S., who was 6 lbs, is hoping that it may eventually prove to be something in-between.

The 36-year-old actress let know that she was pregnant in October, but hardly did she guess that she would give birth on February 29. Well, she did! It is her first child with boyfriend Steve Rodriguez, as confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE by Cardellini’s rep. It’s a girl, and they named her Lilah-Rose!

The actress, known for her roles on Freaks and Geeks, E.R. and Return ponders now about the responsibility of having a life so completely dependent on her – therefore she feels “slightly terrified.”

The rumors first sprang up at the beginning of February, upon which Polizzi issued a public vehement denial on Good Morning America. Last week the New York Post came up with the information that the 25-year-old reality star is into her fourth month with a baby by her boyfriend Jionni LaValle. When PEOPLE asked for confirmation, Polizzi’s rep said no comment was forthcoming.

But some recent photos of the Jersey Shore star seem to bear out the rumors as she is seen sporting a different clothes style. Inconclusive evidence yet, because no bump is visible, her leopard print blouse is fairly loose – which is a digression from her former preference for tight clothing. Also – caught on film in Jersey City on Thursday – the actress was covering her stomach with a large handbag.

The baby is going to be Thurman’s third, after her two children by ex-husband Ethan Hawke, Levon, 10, and Maya, 13. While the name of the father hasn’t been revealed, there are grounds to assume it is Arpad Busson, Thurman’s businessman boyfriend with whom she resumed relations last year.

Hawke has two more children with his current wife Ryan Shawnhughes – 3-year-old Clementine and 6-month-old Indian.

Hard on the heels of the news of the actress’s engagement to art consultant Will Kopelman after about a year of dating came a photograph that can be seen on TMZ’s site – it showed Barrymore stepping out of a doctor’s office and holding a sonogram. This weekend visit raises a question whether the actress and her fiancé already have a baby on the way.

Of course the sonogram can mean other things besides a bun in the oven, and Barrymore’s rep declined to comment on the rumors, but it’s fairly well-known that the 36-year-old actress has been in a family gear for quite a while.

Five years ago, when talking to PEOPLE, Barrymore had a lot to say about family. She said she “would absolutely love to have it” in any form, be it either her own children or adopted ones. “I definitely feel the beginnings of a tick-tock,” she stated.

It was confirmed only last month to PEOPLE by a source close to the couple. They are both eager to become parents, the source said, especially Will, for whom family is very important.

The actress’s clothes preference has also undergone a visible shift. Her usually bohemian style is now replaced with loose-fitting wearables.

At a celebration of Marni’s new line for H&M past weekend, Barrymore was drawn into a discussion of her wedding dress. The question made her laugh out, and she told the reporters that it’s still being considered. She only knows that she would like it to be “something tasteful, something timeless.”

As for her going the family way, her baby bump was very much to the fore when she showed up in Manhattan at the Park Avenue Armory opening reception for W magazine’s “Ever Changing Face of Beauty” exhibit late Tuesday. She wore a tight black halter dress that played up her condition advantageously.

The 30-year-old actress has also been sporting a large diamond and platinum sparkler since last week, clear witness of a proposal from the baby’s father, actor Tom Sturridge, 26.

The British movie couple maintained a healthy relationship for more than a year. Her friends were delighted with her choice, opened up a source to PEOPLE last month. Although Sturridge is a little younger than Miller, “he’s mature and he’s a good guy.”

The source added that their friends were hardly surprised that their relationship had brought about engagement and pregnancy, for they were evidently heading that way.
