The little one was born a healthy 7lbs., 2oz. via surrogate just days before Christmas Day, giving mom and dad the gift of a lifetime for the holidays. Grace and Robert wed in 1997, and renewed their vows in 2004. Mr. De Niro has six kids in all. Photo: Splashnews

Travis Barker attended the American Idol 2013 finale last Thursday (May 16) with his children Landon, 9, and Alabama, 7. Atiana Cecilia de la Hoya, 14, also went with them. Atiana is the daughter of Shanna Moakler and Oscar de la Hoya. The drummer cancelled touring with Blink 182 in Australia because he is still afraid to fly. In 2008 he survived the plane crash that claimed the lives of four passengers, including his friend and assistant Chris Baker and security guard Che Still. He wrote on his Facebook page: “I’m sorry to announce i won’t be joining Blink-182 on this Australian tour. I still haven’t gotten over the horrific events that took place the last time i flew when my plane crashed and 4 people were killed, two being my best friends. I gave the band my blessing to take another drummer if they still wanted to do the tour without me. I hope to come to Australia again some day perhaps by ship if need be. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a boat that worked with the schedule this time around. Once again I’m sorry to all the fans.”

Actress Christie Lynn Smith is inviting Celebrity Baby Scoop readers to follow along as she adjusts to her growing family. The General Hospital star and husband, actor John Fortson, welcomed their second child, son Joshua, on December 22. In her latest guest blog, the Paging Dr. Freed actress opens up about the joys of breastfeeding and her recent return to work. She goes on to describe a few “rough spots” for her 5-year-old daughter Abby who is adjusting to big sisterhood. Continue reading how Christie Lynn’s “world has completely changed.”  “I have to say life has been quite busy these days with two kids. My world has completely changed in so many ways. And I really can’t even remember or think what life was or would be like without this little fella in our lives. It seems like we were always meant to be the four of us. We are so blessed. It’s been a little while since I’ve filled you all in. Little Joshua is 5-months-old — I can’t believe how big he has gotten so quickly. After taking some time off, I’m starting to get back to work and taking meetings to see what my next acting job will be. It feels good to get back out there and I’m excited to start acting again, but while I’m gone, I can’t stop thinking if I will get home in time to breastfeed Joshua. Even though I have pumped milk for this very reason, I feel like I am in a ‘countdown mode’ when I’m gone. I’m forever checking my stopwatch app I have on my iPhone. I always start the timer once a feeding has begun and restart it once I feed him again, which really keeps his feedings on track. But when I’m away from Joshua, I really don’t need a timer to tell me when it’s time to feed him. The feeling you get in your boobs definitely lets you know it’s time to feed and I hurry home. Or when I’m out and another baby cries, oh no, the ‘let down’ begins! I try to get out of that place fast as I can. I’m sure other mommies can relate — it kinda hurts! I’m really love breastfeeding again and now he’s actually starting to look up at me when he feeds. I talk to him while he’s feeding and while he’s still holding my nipple in his mouth – careful not to let go – gives me a BIG SMILE and ‘talks’ to me and then goes back to feeding. It’s the cutest thing when he does it  – and he lets out a little giggle too! His smile really lights up my world. He’s also started to laugh. I adore that sound. It seriously turns any hard day around very quickly. And I have to say that Abby has been such a big help recently. I’m so proud of what an amazing big sister she is becoming. There have been a few rough spots. Like at Easter, Abby was determined to find all the Easter eggs first and it’s not like she had much competition. Joshua can’t even crawl yet,  but even when we pretended that Joshua had ‘found’ an egg she got upset that he was even looking at the eggs. Also Joshua touching Abby can be an issue. We try and tell her, ‘If you are going to get that close, Joshua he may try to touch you and when you put your hair in his hand, he might pull it.’ I’m sure she’ll understand cause and effect soon… I know that there will be more things down the road, but I really can see the love in Abby’s eyes when she looks down at her baby brother. And Abby gleams with joy when her baby brother ‘talks’ to her and he gives her the biggest smiles right back.” View Slideshow »» View All Photos »»

Bethenny Frankel picked up Bryn from school in New York City on Friday (May 17). Their dog Cookie also came along for the walk. No fancy dress on this outing – the talk show host wore worn overalls. Later that day she tweeted, “Kids are so smart. My 3 year old took my phone & the next minute this playlist is playing & i’ve never downloaded music. How to turn off?” Her new daytime talk show will launch in national syndication on September 9. View Slideshow »» View All Photos »»

by Sara McGinnis posted in Celebrities Britney Spears' parenting decisions are causing controversy yet again. An anti-gun group is lashing out at the singer, who is mother of 7-year-old Sean and 6-year-old Jayden Federline, for her son's choice of toy. Earlier this month the younger of the two was reportedly seen at a California hotel with a rather threatening-looking plastic gun. Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, has taken aim at Britney Spears for allowing her boys to play with fake weapons. "As parents it is our responsibility to set a good example for our children, and as a celebrity parent it is especially important," she told The National Enquirer. "Jayden was photographed not just playing with any toy gun. It looks like an assault weapon. "It is very disappointing to see Britney allowing her young son to play with such a violent toy." Britney Spears is one of many stars who didn't put parenthood off. Check out our gallery of celebs who started families before 25: Not all agree, of course. A source described as close to the 31-year-old singer explained, "Britney’s been justly criticized for some lapses in judgment as a mother, like driv­ing around with­out securing her kid in a car seat. But if letting a boy play with a toy gun is bad mother­ing, there must be millions and mil­lions of bad mothers in America." I might be considered one of them, though the only toy guys my children have had are G.I. Joe-sized. Nonetheless, I let my two boys play with them and make "pew-pew-pew" sounds. Mostly though, they collect dust. I'd draw the line at a realistic-looking or properly-sized gun, partly because I don't want them imagining shooting anything life-sized, but mostly because I wouldn't feel comfortable freaking other people out. Can you imagine if they took it to school for show and tell and I didn't realize? I'm not willing to deal with that. Where do you stand on toy guns and kids? Should another mark be made on Britney Spears' parenting record? Photos: Twitter

Brandi Glanville is doing the best she can to co-parent her sons, Jake and Mason, with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.  The reality star mom took to Twitter to share that it’s a hard and frustrating thing, but she’s trying. In frustration, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Twitter to try to get a hold of Eddie because her boys weren’t answering the phone during a recent visit with their dad.  She wrote, “I’ve been trying to get a hold of my kids 4 over an hour no response to my calls, emails or messages. Maybe twitter will work @EddieCibrian.”  She followed up with, “The kids called me 1 minute after that tweet #therealtruth I’m so sick of BS lies I tweeted EC not his wife she should mind her business.”  LeAnn had replied on Twitter that they were taking baths and doing homework. Brandi continued, “I’ve been doing my best to not engage, I have no war with anyone I just miss my babies. Co-parenting is hard I opened up a can of worms last night after reading some dishonest tweets about my kids. Lets move on today thank u.” I give Brandi so much credit for keeping her head up. Going through a divorce is hard enough, but  your husband publicly cheating (and then marrying) another well known person, that’s even more difficult.  Hopefully things calm down and the three of them can get on the same page for the boys’ sake.

The Murphy girls give the camera a bit of goofiness. Zola, Shayne, and Bria stick out their tongues while Bella shows nothing but teeth. All four girls show off their beauty as mom captures her sweets. Bria and Shayne are making their way as models since getting their start as the faces of ‘Rebel Socialite.’ The Murphy girls recently showed off their skills at the 2013 MAXIM HOT 100 Party, smiling and posing as the paparazzi captured them in all of their glamor. The MAXIM party featured 100 of the most talked about people in entertainment including Angela Simmons and April Rose. Nicole Murphy has five kids with ex-husband Eddie Murphy. She and the comedian divorced in 2006 after several years of marriage.

Our favorite fashionable pregnant celebrity, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, was spotted on the go in London this morning.  Jenna was glowing, as always, in this beige and white striped dress, with a denim top/jacket paired with a cute pair of sandals. Jenna stopped off for some fresh pineapple and then made her way over to the ultrasound clinic for a check up.   We should start making bets on when Jenna will deliver her new son or daughter!  I say within the next 2 weeks.  When we don’t see her for a day or two walking her dogs, that’ll be a good indicator!

Mom-of-three Denise Richards was spotted with her daughters Sam, 9, Lola, 7, and Eloise, 23 months at horse back riding lessons in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday (May 19). The following day, the girls were seen with their 4-year-old twin brothers Max and Bob at gymnastics class in Agoura Hills. Joined by papa Charlie Sheen’s bodyguard, the kids were seen piling into the vehicle after class. On Saturday, Denise stepped out with her daughters at Corolle’s Adopt-A-Doll event at The Grove. Our hats go off to Denise! In addition to being single mom to her three kids, the actress, 42, is temporarily caring for her ex-husband’s sons. Charlie’s third ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, 35, checked herself into rehab on May 3 for “prescription drug abuse,” the same day sons Bob and Max were removed from her home by the L.A. County of Department of Children and Family Services due to an “unsafe environment.” Rather than staying with Charlie, the twins were place with Denise, who has looked after the boys before. “You just figure it out because you don’t have a choice. You have these children depending on you,” Denise recently told Us of how she manages. “You prioritize. I had children because I want to be a parent, and I want to be there for them. I think my biggest challenge is [that] their different activities sometimes overlap,” she added, noting that she tries to attend everything. “I have a good schedule going. You just manage.” As for her relationship with her bad boy ex, Denise says they get along swimmingly. “My situation with Charlie is that we’ve gotten along for quite some time now, and it’s so much better,” she said. “There are a lot of feelings and emotions there, but at the end of the day, our daughters benefit from us getting along, and [I do], too.” “I don’t want to have an unhealthy relationship with him, something toxic with a lot of animosity,” she added. “Life’s too short for that. We actually enjoy hanging out, and we enjoy being with the kids.” View Slideshow »» View All Photos »»
