Nascar driver Elliott Sadler and wife Amanda are expecting their first child. The baby is due in early March 2010 and Elliott says he “couldn’t be any happier,” He continued:
“Amanda and I want to have a big family with three or four kids, so we figured it was time to get started. We’ve known for a little while now, but thought it’d be special to share the news with friends and family this week as we head to Richmond.
This is very special for us and something we both knew we wanted to happen soon. We are expecting the baby sometime in March and have a special plan for sharing the sex of our baby with our families.
We are going to have the doctor put the sex of the baby in a envelope and not tell anyone, then take everyone out to dinner and open the envelope as a group so we all share the experience together.”

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck may be among the busiest actors in Hollywood, but their first-born daughter Violet Anne, 3, has her own ideas about what her parents do for a living.
“The older one thinks that I work in a trailer. She thinks that my work is getting hair and makeup done,” Jennifer, 37, told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival press conference for her new movie Invention of Lying.
Violet also thinks mum’s job is to bow to audiences.
“If you ask her what I do, she’ll say she remembers me bowing on stage when I did a show in New York, and so she’ll say, ‘My mum sometimes will bow on stage and sometimes she gets her hair and makeup done. It’s a great job!”
The actress has yet to bring Violet or her little sister Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 8 months, to Take Your Daughters to Work Day.
“She’s never seen a set, but she will at some point. She has made it to the trailer and to craft service. She gets M&M’s when she comes.”
And can Violet expect to see her parents – who last appeared in the same movie six years ago, in Daredevil – onscreen together again?
“The question keeps coming up, and we have literally never spoken about it. He’s a beautiful director and such a gorgeous writer but, you know, to go to work with him, I would just be like, ‘I need to go home to the kids.’ “

Since becoming a teenage parent, Whale Rider Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes is relishing the role of a lifetime – costarring her daughter.
“I absolutely love being a mother. It’s been a blessing. It’s fun and it’s hard, but it’s absolutely amazing.”
At the age of 17, Keisha gave birth to daughter Felicity-Amore, now 2, with boyfriend Bradley Hull. Since then, she’s chosen to be out of the Hollywood spotlight to focus on taking care of her toddler, who is blossoming into a mini version of herself.
“Felicity’s just like me. All trapped into a little body. It’s quite full on. She’s got lots of energy and quite dramatic. She’s picked up quite a few dramatic tendencies from me, which is good and bad. But it’s very exciting to watch her personality develop.”
As for being a teenage mum, the youngest female star ever to be nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award – she was 13 – says:
“It’s no different for me than any other mum in the world. I can be a little stressful and tiring, but it’s the most rewarding thing.”
While critics called her too young to become a mother, Keisha said she respectfully disagrees.
“I was in a very different situation when I had her. I was in a loving and stable relationship with her father, who I’m still with. I had quite an established career and so the decision to have her was very easy. Once I found out I was pregnant there was no decision really. I was shocked but it was just like, ‘Okay, we are having a baby. That’s great.’
“I’ve lived a fast-paced life, but I had the best childhood. I didn’t miss out on anything by having my daughter at a young age … If I would go back and change things, I would not. I can’t imagine living my life without her.”
And what does she think of boyfriend Bradley’s parenting skills?
“He’s very present in her life. He’s a fantastic father who absolutely loves her. He’s very gentle and very loving with her. He does every with her and is the perfect dad.”

It turns out that Angelina Jolie‘s recent goodwill mission in Kenya was also a homecoming for one member of the Jolie-Pitt family.
While Angelina, 34, and Brad Pitt, 45, were “on a trip to Kenya with their children, Angelina stopped in Dabaab Refugee Camp, and also flew to Ethiopia with Zahara and Shiloh for two days.” says a close family friend.
“The girls’ trip was “the first time Zahara had been back home since her adoption. The trip was about keeping up that culture for her.”
One priority for them on the trip was looking for a place to build a TB and AIDS clinic in Zahara’s name, which would be similar to the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project in Cambodia, an organization that helps impoverished and ill children.
While the girls were away, Brad and the rest of the family – Madddox Chivan, 8, Pax Thien, 5, and 1-year-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline – stayed behind in Kenya.
“The family has been having a wonderful time on this trip. The children are having so much fun.”

“I am so proud of Nicole and Joel,” boasted second-time grandfather Lionel Richie, at the UNSF’s An Evening of Stars on Saturday, September 12th, honoring the legendary singer, just days after his daughter Nicole Richie 27, and Joel Madden, 30, welcomed son Sparrow James Midnight into the world.
“[Nicole] is the happiest woman ever. She is just in total control. I’m the one that’s nervous!”
And how is Sparrow’s big sister Harlow Winter Kate adjusting to her new baby brother?
“Harlow right now is enjoying the baby until she finds out its staying,” jokes Lionel. “He looks just like Harlow. All babies sort of look the same as their siblings, but this is identical.”
Continuing his spoiling tradition, the singer says he already brought the baby a “football helmet and cleats.” But admits that he’s a little ahead of the game. “They told me it wasn’t time yet,” he says with a laugh. “Sparrow may not be the football playing name, but he’ll get bruised somewhere in the game.”
Though his excitement peaked when becoming a grandfather the first time – “When I hear the words Papa or Popi, forget about it,” he says of Harlow’s names for him – his second grandchild has him feeling “just over the top!”

Coronation Street actress Jane Danson has revealed that getting back to her pre-pregnancy shape was down to stress and worry over the mystery illness that was surrounding her youngest son Sam Alfie Robert, now 5 months. She said:
“He really did suffer and I was very worried about him – all he did was cry the whole time. He would literally cry all day from the second he woke up.
“I filmed it on my mobile phone to prove to the doctor how bad it was. I couldn’t wind him and I couldn’t feed him properly – it was a terrible time.
“I went backwards and forwards to the doctor and the hospital. It went on for three months. But as a mum you know when something’s not right and you’ve got to stick to your guns.”
