Paris Wants a Baby Too
Paris Hilton seems to have caught the baby bug from her friend Nicole Richie, and reports say she has vowed to have a baby by the end of next year. In an interview with Elle she even said "I want kids next year, so I've got to get my body ready." Paris has taken her inspiration from Nicole, allegedly saying to a friend, " want lots of babies and a more simple life away from the celebrity spotlight. I did a lot of soul-searching about my partying and then I heard Nicole was pregnant and I decided it's time for me to grow up and take responsibility - and the best way to do that is to become a mother." Who else thinks Paris just feels left out?

Gavin and Kingston So Close - Gwen Feels Left Out
Singer, designer, and mom Gwen Stephanie has recently admitted that while the bond her husband and singer Gavin Rossdale shares with their son, Kingston (15 months), is a good thing, she still feels left out: "[Kingston is] super into his dad right now. I am really happy for Gavin, but there is a part of me that is like, 'What about me?' Kingston still doesn't sleep through the night, so his dad usually takes him for an hour or two in the morning so that I can sleep. And as soon as Gavin goes to brush his teeth, Kingston starts crying - it's hilarious."

Madonna to Adopt Again
While Madonna and husband/filmmaker Guy Ritchie's adoption of David Banda from Malawi is not yet complete, the two are already seeking to adopt a second child from that country, this time a girl. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world and it has approximately a million orphans, most of whom have lost both their parents to AIDS. However, the country is surprisingly hard to adopt from. Madonna was warned about the difficulties by a local social worker, and states, "She didn’t say don’t do it, but she just said expect challenges, and, boy, did we get them." Madonna and Guy Ritchie were granted 18-month interim custody of little David during which a Malawian government official was to inspect David's new home in London and the family's interactions on two separate visits. The couple will be granted full custody based on the official's reports after his second inspection in December. Madonna plans to adopt a 13-month-old orphan girl named Mercy from a village neighboring the one David is from. Madonna is already mother to Lourdes (10) and Rocco (7). David is almost 2 years old.
