Jessica Alba about her post-baby body.

Jessica Alba.
Jessica Alba is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but even beautiful women like Jessica have their insecurities. Jessica, 30, is pregnant with her second child. In the August issue of the American Allure she says that after she gave birth to her first child, daughter Honor Marie, she didn't manage to shed all the baby weight. She puts it as boldly as "I can’t ever get down to the weight I was before I had Honor. My body’s just different. The jeans just sort of zip up differently, and things hang differently. It’s a miracle what happens, but you definitely are different afterward. Unless you're Gisele [Bündchen]."

Now that she's a mother, she has found that the experience of being pregnant and giving birth has had an unexpected upside: it has helped her got more in touch with her own sexuality. Jessica says, "I was quite shy with it [sexuality]. It wasn’t something I embraced until I had my daughter. I saw how incredible and amazing it is to be a woman and to be able to create a life.” She continues, "There’s a reason why certain areas of the body are desirable — because it all leads to reproduction.There’s a science behind it all. It’s not just to sell whatever you’re selling on a billboard or a magazine or a movie.”

A downside of her pregnancy? The constant attention from press and paparazzi for her changing body. "My publicist said the other day, ‘You can’t just be going to the grocery store - you have to be ‘flaunting your baby bump,’” she says. “You’re pregnant. Your stomach is not going to be flat. You’re not ‘flaunting’ it; you’re just walking to the store or across a parking lot."

 Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren expect their baby to arrive in September. It is unknown whether they're having a boy or a girl. Although there is a possibility to big sister Honor already told the paparazzi the name and gender of the expected bundle of joy.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper reveal to their wedding guests: we're expecting a baby!

Lily Allen waves after her wedding ceremony. If you look closesly you can see the beginnings of a baby bump.
Yesterday was a joyous day for Lily Allen and Sam Cooper, they got married. It alsow was a joyous day for other reasons, over the wedding breakfast, Sam shared with wedding guests that they've got one more thing to be overjoyed about: they're expecting a baby!

Lily's new pregnancy comes almost seven months after the newlyweds sadly lost their son in the sixth month of their pregnancy. When Lily was photographed yesterday rumours immediately started: is that a little bit of extra room in her wedding dress? And is that little bit of room for a baby belly? Delphine Manivet, the designer of the dress (and so not Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld as some outlets report - even though it was expected that Lily would wear Chanel, she clearly did not), commented on Lily's pregnancy after news broke that Sam had shared it with their wedding guests. She said "It's beautiful that she is pregnant, and I am very happy for her. She is very happy about that - it is something wonderful." Regarding the dress she added "You can see of course the little stomach - it looked very cute with the dress."

Speaking of the dress, more details are coming out (but not regarding the flowers. Grrrr.). The dress consisted of an underdress covered with a second lace overlay dress. The lace in the dress and veil was made in Calais, France. The train of the dress was reportedly over one meter/3.28 feet long.

A double congrats is in place. I hope that I'll soon be able to report about Lily and Sam's healthy baby!
