Orbit Baby G2

There is quite a buzz about the Orbit Baby G2. The stroller just premiered at the ABC Kids Expo. First off, it's red. Finally something other than grey or beige. It is also a stroller that you can use from birth if you aren't interested in the car seat. Orbit has introduced what they are calling 3D Rotation. The stroller now reclines, forward and back. Even though I don't understand why you would want to tilt a baby forward. And no more air pump, they replaced the old tires with foam tires and gave them 4 shock absorbers per tire. Then they gave the stroller a hard footrest that can be adjusted as your child grows. And on hot days you can unzip a vent in the back of the stroller for increased air circulation. There are also some cosmetic changes like, a newly designed cupholder, and a covered snack tray for the kiddies.

Expect it around January 2010. There isn't a price listed yet, but expect it to priced similarly to the first generation toddler stroller which is around $600.

And did you see that sweet red carrycot in the background. And the beige cover on the stroller, also in the background, is probably Orbit's new organic fireproof seat covers. I'll try to get more information on those for later.

I do have a complaint, not about the Orbit, but about the Kids Expo. Why not have it during the summer? A lot of people have kids in school during September and can't attend. Most of the publicity for this thing comes from blogs, so why not make it easier for parent bloggers to attend.

Update: Pish Posh Baby has the stroller for preorder. It says $900, but that seems to be a misprint. The price will remain around the same.

Lauren London Has Given Birth

It is being reported that Lauren London gave birth to a 7lb 12oz baby boy in Los Angeles on September 9. Serial baby's daddy, Lil' Wayne was by her side the whole time. (Question is did he sign the forms that California require for a man to acknowledge paternity, or will there be a paternity test.) Hotlanta Buzz also has unconfirmed reports that the little boy, who looks like Mommy, is called Lennox Samuel Ari Carter.
Update: The man clearly has never heard of a condom. In addition to his 10 year old daughter, Reginae , he has an 11 month old son, Dwayne III. So he knocked up Lauren right after having that baby. And then there is the baby he is expecting with Nivea any day now. Sounds like someone is a bit of a slut.

Poor Sparrow

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are the proud parents of a baby boy, PEOPLE confirms.

"In the middle of night, the very early hours of September 9, 2009, Sparrow James Midnight Madden (What if this kid wants to do something normal? In thirty years little Sparrow will probably be going by the name James Madden.)was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. He weighs 7 lbs. 14 oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes," the couple wrote on Richie's Web site.

The newborn joins older sister Harlow Winter Kate Madden, born in January 2008.



"We're very, very blessed," Madden, 30, told PEOPLE on Aug. 6 of the approaching event. "We've already had one healthy kid, and that's all you can ask for as a parent – healthy kids."

Richie, 27, who's enjoyed a new low-key lifestyle at home since the birth of Harlow, still keeps active with various business projects, including a maternity line for A Pea in the Pod (So bland that the stuff at Target is more exciting. I expected something more exciting.) and her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line.

The couple also run the Richie Madden Children's Foundation, which they launched in 2007 to provide grants to health-care and education nonprofits.

"I don't think you can plan anything about having a child," Richie told PEOPLE back in October 2008. "It's something completely new, so you just have to go with whatever works for you. There's a million different ways to be a mom."

Jon Gosselin Needs To Shut Up

Jon Gosselin needs to sit down and shut up. We all know that Kate is a media hungry bitch, he doesn't need to go on television and say it. These interviews will be around forever, and someday one of those kids will track them down. Everyone thinks he's a douchebag because he's acting like a frat boy instead of a dad. You do that kind of crap in private.

More bombshells from Jon Gosselin.

On Tuesday's ABC special Primetime: Family Secrets, the father of eight, 32, says estranged wife Kate, 34, would only agree to one kind of therapy: With celebrity Dr. Phil.

"I was very hesitant," Jon says. "I was like, 'What the heck is this?'"

Jon says the session with Dr. Phil was more about fixing the image of their hit TLC show than their broken marriage.

"We talked about the brand and corporate things and making the brand work," he says. "I felt it was weird. I was like, 'Why am I here? I could be snowboarding.' It wasn't helping."

In a statement to ABC News, Dr. Phil said, "I respect the Gosselins' privacy, I have no comment on their marriage."

Jon previously admitted in the Primetime interview that Kate refused to go to any other kind of therapy to make their marriage work.

"I have a $22,000 therapy bill," he says. "I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go."

Michelle Duggar Pregnant With #19

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Michelle Duggar, not content to let Anna have the spotlight, is pregnant yet again. Sooner or later her uterus is going to fall through her vagina in an attempt to end this madness.

Make way for more Duggars!

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of Tonitown, Ark., who have 18 children and one grandchild on the way, are expecting a new addition to their household – baby No. 19 will arrive in the spring.

"We are so thrilled," says Michelle, 42. "We just couldn't believe it is happening." Jim Bob, 44, agrees: "This never gets old. We are so grateful for each child. We are looking forward to our first grand baby and our 19th child."

Oldest son Joshua, 21 and his wife Anna, 21, are expecting daughter Mackynzie Renée next month, so she will be older than her new aunt or uncle.

"I think it is going to be awesome, it is going to be great," says Josh about the news that his parents are expecting. "We have been looking forward to the arrival of my little girl and to now get to celebrate for my parents, it's a wonderful thing."


The families often get to see one another and are looking forward to the babies' births.

"I love all of this, it is so fun," says Michelle. "Anna and I will have babies five months apart. My mother and my sister were pregnant at the same time and it was really wonderful. The kids were really close and still are. I have a nephew who grew up with me, we're just three months apart."

The Duggars live debt-free in a house they built themselves with their kids, all whose names begin with J: after Josh there are twins Jana and John-David, 19; Jill, 18; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 13; Joy-Anna, 11; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 10; Jason, 9; James, 8; Justin, 6; Jackson, 5; Johanna, 3; Jennifer, 2, and Jordyn-Grace, 8 months. Their lives are featured on TLC's 18 Kids and Counting, airing Tuesday nights.


Despite being pregnant 18 times before, Michelle says this pregnancy came as a shock, although her daughters wondered why she was eating more pickles than usual.

"I was wanting pickles and the older girls were saying, 'Mom, you only crave these at the very beginning of being pregnant, You kept it from us before, now tell us. Are you?'" Michelle says. "And I kept telling them I wasn't. I just wanted some pickles." (What a stupid cliche.)

But when she couldn't lose weight on her diet, she became suspicious.

"I was in Weight Watchers with Jim Bob (I wonder if they are on the Weight Watchers' payroll.) and I wasn't losing any weight," she says. "I couldn't figure it out. I was doing what I should. And the baby, who was nursing, was fussy. I kept thinking, 'This isn't right. She isn't teething, she doesn't have an ear infection. I'm not cheating on my diet, I should be losing weight.' Then, I put two and two together and wondered if I could possibly be pregnant."

She took out one of two tests she had in the house and it was immediately positive.

"I told Jim Bob and he couldn't keep it in, he was so excited," she says. "The kids were outside playing on a water slide and he gathered them together and had to share the news. There was all this screaming and yelling."

The Duggars recently renewed their wedding vows – they've been married 25 years and one month – and say that the ceremony was a wonderful way for their own children to understand the commitment of marriage. (As much as I make fun of the Duggars, this is one marriage that I don't think will fall victim to the reality television marriage curse.)

"We got married when Michelle was 17 and I was 19," Jim Bob says. "We were married in the hallway of a church because at the time they had no sanctuary. There were plastic chairs and crepe paper. So, when we renewed our vows, we did it in that same hallway and we splurged to make bows out of a plastic white table cloth this time, but we still had plastic chairs. I think it is important to have the kids see that commitment themselves."

Michelle says that since she was 36 years old, her doctor has given her and Jim Bob pamphlets about prenatal testing since there is an increase of risk of health problems in babies with older mothers. But, she says they don't worry about those risks and don't take the tests.

"We know what could happen," she says. "We read through the information. If the Lord chooses to give us challenges along the way, we know His grace will be there, so we don't opt to do the testing."

As far as her own health, her doctor told PEOPLE when her last child was born that Michelle's health was excellent: "Some women are made to have babies, and Michelle is to the nth degree," ob-gyn Amy Sarver told PEOPLE in December. "She is in terrific health without any strain on her uterus."

Michelle says she's just glad for every day that she gets to enjoy being with her kids, even as she endures a 19th round of morning sickness.

"I'm feeling nauseous right now," she says. "And, I'm tired. I am happy for the feelings of morning sickness and I'm happy for every day I get to play with my kids. We don't know what tomorrow holds and so I try to enjoy every moment."

Already, names are being discussed in the Duggar household: Jessa, 16, has printed up a list of J-names for boys and girls that have yet to be used by a Duggar, Michelle says.

"We'll hopefully find out whether it's a girl or a boy at 20 weeks," says Jim Bob. (Michelle is almost at the 12-week mark now.) "That will narrow the list down some."

And Jim Bob says he'd welcome a little assistance: "We'd love to hear from the readers at PEOPLE.com to come up with a special name for this child."
