Shakira
Pregnant in heels! Shakira wore black leggings, a black blazer and stiletto heels while out seeing the new James Bond movie Skyfall with her boyfriend Gerard Pique in Barcelona on November 14.
This is the first child for the Columbian singer and her soccer star boyfriend. It was recently reported that Shakira was going to name her baby boy Biel, however it sounds like she has not quite settled on a name.
“Concerning the name, we just haven’t been able to decide,” she told the radio station RAC1. “There are ridiculous names, like Ulisito, that came out of the press’ need to report nonsense. There was also Biel, which we like, but I don’t think it will be that one either, or Gerard. We’ll see.”
The 35-year-old singer said she is enjoying being pregnant. “I’m very excited,” she said. “I’ve experienced [the pregnancy] with the same ease with which I try to live everything. Although everyone tells me that will change when he’s born because my life will be different.”

Pregnant actress Claire Danes wore a coat paired with boots as she walked the streets of Toronto, Canada on November 17. The Homeland star and her husband Hugh Dancy are in town as he shoots his new movie Hannibal.
This is the first child for Danes who is due early next year. She told Kelly Ripa that she is “feeling good and balanced” — however kept mum on the sex of the baby.
“It is a human being, which is a profound relief,“ she said.
Danes said they are not writing her pregnancy into Homeland, so they had to do some tricks to hide her “soccer ball.”
“It’s now getting to the point where I’m looking a little knocked up,” she said. “'They haven’t written it in, but they’ll be able to manipulate it in post and do some CGI trickery and make Carrie not so pregnant.“

Lisa Ling
Journalist and Our America host Lisa Ling showed off her baby bump in a blue dress at the Women’s Media Center’s 2012 Awards. She is six months along and expecting a baby girl with her husband, Paul Song.
Ling, 39, suffered a miscarriage two years ago, and said she is feeling excited, but nervous about this pregnancy.
“I’m finally going down this road and it’s scary,” she told People. "I’m really excited but more nervous than anything.”
“I’m nervous about all of it. I’m nervous about how my life is going to completely change. I’m nervous about how I’m going to actually carry the baby. I’m nervous about changing diapers. I’m not someone who likes to be nervous. I’m someone who is always in control,” she continued. “But I feel very fortunate. My husband and I are very, very lucky that this is even happening. I’m really excited about investing our emotion and love in another person. I’m finally ready for it.”
As far as pregnancy symptoms, Ling says she hasn’t really experienced any! “I didn’t have any morning sickness at all and feel pretty normal other than getting this belly!” she said.

“Today is my and Pasquale’s one year anniversary! I’m so lucky to have met someone so wonderful! I love you, Baby Bear!!” she wrote on her website. “We’ve been having a blast staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was my first time staying at this resort and I loved it! One of the coolest things about the Lodge is you can see animals roaming from your balcony. My favorite were the giraffes!”
Madison and Rotella are expecting their first child together, a baby girl. She said she hasn’t yet decided on a baby name, but they want something very unique — similar to Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple.
"I don't want to say what the names are, but I will say that they're very unusual,” she said. ”Kind of Apple-ish, along those lines. I don't like common names at all. If I've heard it before on somebody more than one time, it's out!”
