babysugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:01:00 -0700

Like any other youngster Malia Obama likes to make fun of her adoring parents, even if they are the potential Commander in Chief and First Lady. Maria Menounos of Access Hollywood sat down with the Obama family to discuss "pressing" issues like fashion and entertainment. Ten–year–old Malia made me chuckle as she ooh'd and aah'd over the fact that her mom joined "important" people like Angelina Jolie in People magazine, which according to her was "pretty cool."

Check out the video of the astonishingly normal and charming Obama crew - what do you think of kids on the trail?

When we last checked in on Tori Spelling, the actress had just announced her plans to launch a clothing line for tots called Little Maven. The children’s duds, which are set to hit department and specialty stores this Fall, made their debut in this month’s Cookie magazine and the manufacturer has just released the first photos of the collection.

A cross between “Hollywood chic and seaside casual,” Little Maven uses a number of bright colors, prints and patterns in its designs. Liam and Stella modeled the collection that will range from $24 to $88. Spelling said that she realizes the “need for inspired, yet accessible, clothing for infants and toddlers.”

Sarah Jessica Parker's Surrogate's Safety Compromised

Sarah Jessica Parker and her hubby, Matthew Broderick were thrilled to announce that they were expecting twin additions via surrogate last month. But now the couple, already parents to son, James, 6, fear for the safety of the woman carrying their daughters as her identity has been discovered and her computer and phone were hacked into. The pregnant woman has also received threats. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Sarah Jessica said:

"I care deeply about her, and I am incredibly outraged by the sort of extraordinary and unprecedented invasion of her privacy. I think even given the unfortunate way we live now ... it has still shocked me, and it has still really disappointed me."

This is a concern for any mother wishing to protect her children, but being that the Sex and the City star lives such a high profile life - do you think she should have been so open about her impending babes?

Over the weekend, Jenny McCarthy was singled out for raising autism awareness. The dating-show host turned author wrote Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism about her experience with son, Evan.

Jenny received the Trailblazer Award at 2008 Gridiron Glamour, a celebrity fashion show, benefit, and auction that raised money for autism research. The event was hosted by Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete, whose son, Rodney, Jr., was also diagnosed with autism.

To learn more about Jenny and Holly's work, read more.

According to Access Hollywood, Robinson Peete said:

“Someone called us the ‘Thelma & Louise’ of autism,” Holly joked of her work with Jenny. “From the moment she called me and we talked about her son, we made a game plan and said no one else is talking about this. We know there are celebrities in Hollywood who have autistic children, so we felt it was important to talk about it.”

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Raise Twins On Their Own

New mama Jennifer Lopez won't be searching for a Mary Poppins to help with the daily duties of raising three-month-old twins, Max and Emme. According to Access Hollywood, the triple threat and her husband, Marc Anthony are doing something rather unconventional when it comes to the rich and famous - juggling their careers and the tasks of child-rearing alone. He said:

“She expects me to help and she makes no bones about it,” Marc said. “I get the late shift. I get literally from 10 PM because we don’t have a nanny. It’s just me and Jennifer figuring it out. From 10 PM to 8 [AM], that’s my shift”

And, unlike many stars who hit the gym before they head to Gymboree, the actress is less concerned with her postpartum bod than bonding with her children. Marc said:

“Yeah, yes she is, but she’s more in mommy mode,” Marc said. “She has three movies lined up and she’s eager to go back to work, but the babies have been a blessing all the way around and she’s just amazing. She’s such an amazing mom and I’m so proud of her. She’s such a gem to watch.”

Do you admire the couple's decision to raise their family on their own?

Angelina Jolie has confirmed that she is with twins!

The glowing starlet confirmed that she would be delivering her fifth and sixth children, but said they are keeping the sex of the babies private.
