Ivanka Trump is about to pop. However, the 30-year old Celebrity Apprentice judge managed to step out last Thursday evening, only one day before her due date! She told reporters at the Snow Flower and the Secret Fan screening, that she's "trying not to think about" the delivery.

"My breathing exercises are going to come in the form of screams and panic," Ivanka jokes. "I have enough anxiety about the type of mother I’m going to be and the nuances of being a parent. [Therefore] I haven’t focused too much on the actual delivery part, which is seriously terrifying," she adds.

Any day now Ivanka and Jared's daughter will arrive.

Widespread criticism on David & Victoria Beckhams name choice.

David and Victoria Beckham.
Her name has caused people to think that she was born at 'half past seven', but there are many, many more reactions to the name of the newest Beckham in town: Harper Seven. The Telegraph has even dedicated an entire article on Tweets about the newborn's name.

There are several theories regarding the origin of the name Harper, guesses go from novelists to Harper's Bazaar magazine, @Martin_Carr tweeted "are we assuming that's after Harper Lee? [the writer of To Kill A Mockingbird] Seems a bit literary for them..." Whereas @sarah_robbo tweeted "erm, I usually like weird celeb' baby names, but HARPER SEVEN? Literally Harpers Bizarre?!"

Some people think that the name is cute and quirky, with @ladysov tweeting, "I actually think the beckhams daughters name "harper seven" is kinda cool." Others come with societal criticism, @camillalong tweeted, "doesn't Posh know the Harper Seven were a group of climate change activists jailed for bombing a juice bar in San Francisco?"

In my opinion, Harper isn't that unusual anymore. To Kill A Mockingbird is a classic and has become a must-read for students. Seven isn't unique either, Erykah Badu and Andre 3000's son is named Seven Sirius. That people hear it as 'half past seven' is quite amusing. Let me put it this way, I'm just happy that they didn't name her Jermajesty.

David and Victoria Beckham welcome a little girl.

David and Victoria Beckham.
The girl that everyone knows and expects to become a future fashionista has finally arrived.

David and Victoria Beckham welcomed a daughter into their family this Sunday morning at 7:55 a.m. in Los Angeles at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Already parents to three boys, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8 1/2, and Cruz, 6 1/2, the couple were surprised to be welcoming a girl. The couple announced that they were expecting a girl in March, David then said "Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon."

Baby girl Beckham weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz./3400 grams. Her name hasn't been made public yet.

Congrats to the Beckham family!

UPDATE: The British DailyMail reports that the newest Beckham has been named Harper Seven. David Beckham updated his Facebook status. It reads "I am so proud and exited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx"

The DailyMail quotes a friend of the Beckhams with regards to their name choice, "Harper is an old English name, something Victoria has always liked. Seven is a very lucky number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month." Sports fans will also immediately notice that number 7 was David's jersey number  for Manchester United and the English national team.

The DailyMail also reports that little Harper was born via a Caesarean section, just like her older brothers. Also, the girl reportedly is the spitting image of mum Victoria, when she was a baby.

Denise Richards has added to her brood. The actress, 40, has domestically adopted a baby girl.

Her rep says "Eloise Joni Richards is named after Denise's mom (Joni), and Denise and her daughters Sami and Lola chose the name Eloise. Denise and Eloise's big sisters couldn't be happier and feel incredibly blessed."

When the news of the adoption broke, Denise received many congratulations and well wishes via social media. She tweeted "Thank you all for your sweet messages. The girls and I are over the moon and so is my dad Grandpa Irv...xo"

Lola and Sam Sheen.
Denise is already a mom of two girls, Sam, 7, and Lola, 6, from her marriage to Charlie Sheen. The Sheen-Richards marriage went south very publicly and quite a gruesome custody battle over the girls took place, but the former couple seems to have patched it up for their daughters. Luckily!

April 25th, 2011, Ian Ziering and his wife Erin welcomed daughter Mia Loren Ziering into the world. June 11th, 2011, they showed her to the world by showing up as a family at the Britax Baby Buggy Event in Sherman Oaks, California. Ian, 47, looked ecstatic showing off his almost 1 1/2 month old daughter to the crowd, she does look cute, especially with that little pink headband!

In April, right after Mia was born, he took to Facebook where he wrote: "Well, it's official, I'm a dad!" and a little while later "As I sit holding Mia, Erin sleeps the most beautiful sleep. My thoughts race with visions of a brighter future, only made possible by what happens today... or, last night! God bless us all."

Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connely welcome daughter Agnes Lark.

Okay, okay, I'm late posting this. I was actually going to wait until there was a photo of Agnes, but I can't really wait anymore :P

Jennifer and Paul had their daughter May 31st, in a planned at-home water birth. She joins older brothers Kai, 13, from Jennifer's relationship with David Dugan, and Stellan, 7 1/2. Paul and Jennifer met in 2003 on the set of 'A Beautiful Mind'.

There are no reports on the idea behind naming their daughter Agnes Lark. I love it, especially Lark (don't ask me why, I just really like it!).

Congrats to the entire family!

Meet Martha Stewart's first grand child: baby Jude.

The journey for Alexis Stewart, 45, was a long one, but March 8th, 2011, daughter Jude was born. Finally one could say, because it took five years and the help of a gestational surrogate to fulfill Alexis's ultimate dream of becoming a mother. Alexis says 'Getting Jude was lucky. I'm happy, but this has been rough'. Rough being an understatement: Alexis has seen several doctors over the years and at one point spent up to $27.000 a month on IVF procedures and an additional $6.000 on medication. Thanks to her current physician she was able to cut back her payments to about $5.000 a month, but more importantly, she welcomed her daughter into the world.

A daughter she is planning on spoiling rotten, but in a decidedly different way. Alexis spent last winter taking ice skating lessons, so that when Jude is older they can go ice skating together. 'I want her to do everything'. Now that would be a nice way to spoil your child!

She's gorgeous, just like her daddy. #beyondblessed"

Congrats to Pink and Carey! I can't wait for a photo to see if she really looks like Carey!

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are expecting a girl!

Let's hope that Cash Warren likes pink! According to a 'friend' (why do celebrities always have 'friends' that like to blab to the tabloids?) Jessica and Cash will welcome another girl into their family later this year.

Almost 3-year old daughter Honor is living proof that the couple make adorable girls, but if their 'friend' is wrong, I'm sure that they'd make adorable boys too!
