Earlier this week, on New Year’s Eve, new photos came out of Ben Affleck escorting a pained-looking and very pregs wife Jennifer Garner to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center which led some to believe that she was being admitted to give birth to her second child. It turns out that the doctor visit was prolly just a routine check-up cuz later on in the day, Jen was seen doing a bit of shopping at Williams-Sonoma with her firstborn child Violet Anne:

I must admit that I, too, thought for sure that Jen was gonna drop her load at Cedars when I first saw these pics of Bennifer 2.0 arriving at the hospital. 2009 will see the birth of a new Bennifer child … but just not yet.

Proud parents-to-be Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof showed off her burgeoning baby bump as they enjoyed a nice Xmas Eve dinner at Maestro’s restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA last night. Here are a couple pics of the happy family as they stopped for a few photos on their way out:

I cannot believe how big Alyson is getting already! It seems like it was just yesterday that we heard that she was pregs and now she’s already lookin’ like she’s smuggling a basketball underneath her stylish trench coat. Just think, by this time next year we’ll be talking about baby Hannigan-Denisof’s first Xmas. I’m tellin’ ya, time will fly by … that moment will be upon us faster than we care to think. I am very much looking forward to the coming year and to the coming of Alyson’s first born child.

Alyson Hannigan, her burgeoning baby bump and her Buffy the Vampire Slayer ex-costar and all around BFF Tom Lenk stepped out for a little Xmas shopping together at The Grove shopping center here in LA yesterday afternoon. Here are cute pics of the pals mugging for the cameras:

I swear, Angels in heaven must sing in joyous unison whenever ex-BtVS castmates hang out together. It is always an amazing thing to see any one of the Buffy alums out and about but it’s an even more special sight to see them hanging out together. I understand that Aly and Tom were happy to talk and take photos with fans who they ran into … which prolly made for a very fun afternoon at The Grove. Alyson’s baby bump hasn’t grown that significantly since the the last time we saw it out and about but it shant be long now until she starts getting noticeably bigger. Wee! I am just so excited for Alyson to become a mom. Her baby can’t get here soon enough for me :)

Here are a couple new photos of the happily married Buffyverse parents-to-be Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof taking their burgeoning little baby bump out for a stroll in Santa Monica, CA over the weekend. It’s only been about a month since Alyson and Alexis announced to the world that they are expecting their first child together and already Alyson is starting to show:

You may recall that Aly confessed that she is deffo planning on NOT naming her first born child Zuma and I suppose it can be assumed she’s prolly not going to name it Bronx Mowgli either. I suspect that Aly and Alexis are already kicking around possible names of the normal variety. Personally, they can name the baby whatever they like … I just can’t wait to see what their precious little bundle of joy is gonna look like. I’m telling you, this baby is going to be the cutest thing ever! I’m just so happy for them both … they look amazing :)

Jessica Simpson, big sis to pregs little sis Ashlee Simpson, paid a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday to tape an appearance and revealed to Ellen that Ash still hasn’t given birth yet. As you may recall, Pete Wentz canceled an appearance on CNN’s Larry King Live show on Friday night because, it is believed, that wifey Ashlee went into labor … and here we are 4 days later and still no baby — which means, doctors may have to induce soon:

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is so eager to finally give birth that she may induce labor, her sister Jessica Simpson says. “They’re going to have to. It’s already developing really quick,” Jessica said Monday at a taping of the The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Ashlee – described by husband Pete Wentz more than two weeks ago as due at any moment – has already tried other ways to begin labor. “Different foot massages and stuff,” Jessica told DeGeneres in the show airing Wednesday. “I don’t know. I think she’s really just jumping around trying everything right now.”

If Jessica Simpson really thinks that Ashlee is “jumping around” trying to get that baby to fall out of her uterus then she is dumber than was previously believed. Hopefully she was just trying to be cheeky instead of moronic. Being in labor for days and days cannot be fun (not that the actual birthing of the baby is any piece of cake) and I sincerely hope that little baby Simpson-Wentz comes soon. Who knows, today might be the day at long last.

Yesterday morning we learned from Pete Wentz himself that he had to cancel an appearance on CNN Friday night due to an unforeseen “scheduling conflict” and it was widely speculated that the conflict was that his wife, the heavily pregs Ashlee Simpson, had gone into labor to give birth to their first child. So, one might expect that Ashlee would’ve given birth by now, right? Notsofast … Pete updated his official blog yesterday afternoon and talked about the smell of smoke in LA (due to the wildfires burning just north of Los Angeles) and made ZERO mention of Ashlee or the baby. Here is the pic that Pete posted on his blog and the full text of his most recent blogpost:

my house smells like a fire. me and jensen were driving back from china town and there were police in riot gear on sunset. is this where we are? fucking nuts.

Just because Pete did not mention any baby news doesn’t mean that the baby wasn’t born … mebbe he’s deliberately keeping mum so that the media scrutiny will be waylaid for a few days. Incidentally, I believe the police force that Pete was talking about (and posted a photo of) were in “riot gear” in order to keep the peace as the Proposition 8 protesters took to the streets of LA yesterday. I understand the LAPD was amazingly supportive and did a great job ensuring that the protesters were allowed to peaceably and safely take their protests thru the streets of Los Angeles.

But I digress … Life & Style magazine is reporting that Ashlee did, in fact, go into labor on Friday night citing an alleged text message that Pete sent to all of his friends (and Pete’s blogpost from Friday night):

The moment is finally here: Ashlee’s having her baby! “Pete texted his friends last night that Ashlee is in labor!” an insider tells Life & Style. Plus, Pete posted Friday on his blog that he would have to cancel an interview that was intended to take place on Saturday night. “Due to breaking news and scheduling conflicts I will not be appearing on Larry King Live tonight,” he blogged. Best wishes for a safe delivery and congrats to the happy couple!

It seems likely that Ashlee did go into labor and just as likely that she has already given birth but until we get official confirmation, I guess we’ll just have to wait before sending our congrats. I hope it won’t be long until we hear of the arrival of the Ashl33n baby.
