It's shaping up to be a very happy new year for Christina Aguilera. According to Page Six, which apparently
has the makeup-slathered singer's obstetrician on speed-dial, she's scheduled to
undergo a C-section on Jan. 10. Of course, there's always a chance the tyke,
rumored to be a boy, could debut sooner, but the parents-to-be appear to be
well-prepared for the arrival. The paper says Christina and hubby Jordan
Bratman, who stepped out together Tuesday night in Los Angeles to celebrate the
belter's 27th birthday, have narrowed down their list of names, and they are
said to be partial to the refreshingly playground-proof monikers Max and Jackson
Jake.

Meanwhile, Lily Allen has wasted no time in turning her fledgling
relationship into a lifetime commitment. A rep for the blunt, kvetch-prone
British chanteuse, 22, confirms she's expecting an ankle-biter with rocker-beau
Ed Simons, 37, of the Chemical Brothers, whom she's been dating for three whole
months (yes, three). "The health of Lily and her child is their paramount
concern," explained her mouthpiece (via Us). "As the pregnancy is at such an
early stage, the couple will be making no further comment, but they are
obviously thrilled by the news." Allen is already catching flack over a photo
from a couple weeks back that showed her puffing on a cigarette, although her
rep insists to the London Daily Mail that she wasn't aware at the time she was
in the family way. "Lily is thrilled to be pregnant and can't wait to become a
mum," a source tells the London Sun, which broke the story. "She's a real family
person. Ed's very happy. He is really looking after her."
It seemed inevitable that Jennifer Love Hewitt, who recently made the cover of
People defending her normal-sized bod ("Stop Calling Me Fat!"), would be hit
with baby rumblings (sadly, pregnancy is one of the few times an actress is
allowed to embrace her curves without criticism). The New York Daily News
reports a "little bird close" to the no-respect-getting "Ghost Whisperer" actress claims
she's expecting a bundle of joy with newly minted fiancé Ross McCall. However,
her rep is quick to shoot down the stork whispers, pooh-poohing to the paper
that they're "100 percent false. She is not pregnant."
Is there a good reason why Fantasia Barrino has missed so many performances of the
Broadway hit "The Color Purple"? The New York Post, citing chatter in the
blogosphere, speculates the "American Idol" winner could be
pregnant. But a rep for Barrino, 23, who has a 6-year-old daughter, denies the
baby talk to Us, insisting, "Fantasia is not pregnant and the Internet rumors
are entirely untrue."
It's nice to know those circulation-slowing tights Chris O'Donnell once donned to play Batman's little
buddy Robin didn't adversely affect his procreation plans. People reports the
actor's wife, Caroline, just gave birth to their fifth tyke. Maeve Frances
O'Donnell arrived on Dec. 10 in Los Angeles, joining sister Lily, 8, and
brothers Chip, 7, Charlie, 4, and Finley, 1. "Everyone's happy," O'Donnell's rep
tells the mag. "Mother and baby are doing great."
