Call them the Fantastic Four! With the arrival of their second child – another daughter – congratulations are most definitely in order for spouses Jessica Alba and Cash Warren. After giving birth on Saturday, Jessica making the announcement on her Facebook, complete with the beautiful baby girl’s name and vital stats: Haven Garner joins Jessica, Cash, and three-year-old Honor Marie! “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. Haven Garner Warren was born on Saturday, weighed 7 lbs and was 19 inches long. Very healthy and happy!” Jessica Alba, who is gearing up for the premiere of Spy Kids 4 , says she can’t imagine having more than two kids … yet. Never say never. Best wishes to the happy family!
Talk about a great first wedding anniversary present! While marking a year of marriage to NHL player Mike Comrie, Material Girls star Hilary Duff announced Sunday they are expecting their first child: “I can’t believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you’re having fun!” she wrote . “We also want to share the exciting news that… BABY MAKES THREE!!! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives.” Days before Duff’s big announcement, Hilary, 23, hinted to us that she and Mike, 30, were ready to start a family in the not-so-distant future. “I think it was important that we had a year to just do whatever,” she said. “Maybe longer than that because we enjoy having so much freedom.” “But we’re definitely both thinking about it.” Guess she was serious. Congrats, you two!
Everyone is really stepping it up (or at least trying) on The Real Housewives of New Jersey this week. THG recaps it all in our +/- review … Teresa’s doing photo shoots for her second book and the entire family is involved. Between Joe complaining, Teresa whining, the kids screaming, and the parents looking somewhere between bored and annoyed, it’s the photo shoot that just won’t end. The photographers earn a Plus 9 because I’m guessing they had no idea what they were getting themselves into and they still managed some decent shots. Rich is an idiot. Victoria is 16 and Rich is telling Kathy not to talk to her about sex. Personally I think that shouldn’t be one talk but an ongoing conversation and either way it’s completely overdo. Rich seems to think that if Kathy talks to her about sex, that will put the idea in the girl’s head. Minus 15 for taking naivete way too far. Then Kathy decides to have said conversation with her daughter in the middle of a store. Oye. Minus another 5 for not making this a private conversation. And those dresses Victoria’s trying on for her junior prom are terrible. They’re either too tight, too short, or completely gaudy.
Last week’s eviction of Lawon and return of Brendon could’ve spelled certain defeat for Daniele and Kalia unless the former somehow came through to win HoH. Amazingly, with a boost from Jorff and Brenchel’s inability to count, she did. But what she did in her second reign as Head of Household came as a surprise. THG recaps Sunday’s Big Brother installment below … Minus 8 for having to relive this moment again at the start. Minus 5 more for Shelly’s blatant celebration of Brendon’s return, which – spoiler alert – she may come to regret depending on how this week progresses. “Why?!? Why, America?!?!” Kalia whines about the voting that sent Brendon back into the house. Um, probably to see this exact reaction on TV? Plus 4 . For the second time this year, Dani knows that if she doesn’t win HoH, she’s toast. But then Brendon, Rachel, Jeff and Jordan all go down hard! Plus 7 . Plus 2 for Jeff’s overly enthusiastic narration, in general. When Porsche’s home state came up, she cannot BELIEVE it is represented by olives (in a martini glass to symbolize nightlife, her career field ). Instead, she suggests … alligators. GREAT idea for a counting game. Plus 6 . Plus 3 more because whenever we see her listed as VIP Cocktail Waitress, we can’t help but think of Tiger Woods. She’s even from Florida, too! Daniele triumphs with a consistent set of ballpark guesses. If nothing else, the girl backs up her tough talk and will never say die. Props. Plus 9 . Shelly’s machinations finally caught up with her. About time. Minus 12 , because you can’t play all sides for so long AND act so indignant after it backfires. At least be somewhat self-aware and own your mistakes. Plus 6 for Jordan’s “job interview” with her, though. Porsche’s an airhead, but she’s not totally inept, making her more of an idiot savant than, say, Lawon, who was purely an idiot. He asked to be evicted! Plus 2 . While Brenchel’s word must be taken with a boulder of salt, they made a nice pitch to Daniele. First, they sabotaged Shelly nicely. Second, they admitted that they, too, are targets. No one would see this alliance coming … Plus 9 . Adam to Daniele: “If I win HoH next week …” Sorry, we stopped paying attention, since we focus only on plausible scenarios here. Plus 3 for trying though. “I will never let her take my class away from me.” – Shelly. No words can do it justice, but Minus 17 for the amazingly clueless, absurd nature of this quote, on top of the nonsense about not being “cool enough” to hang with Dani. At least Adam (like Dominic) realizes he sucks. Plus 5 . Daniele surprisingly puts up Shelly and Adam. Wash . Seems like she’s overthinking it, rather than going with her gut and gunning for Brenchel. Then again, the back door strategy is in play, and Shelly is the worst kind of floater – a dangerous one. EPISODE TOTAL: +14. SEASON TOTAL: +4. Did Dani make the right call with her nominations?
