Lily Allen welcomes baby number two

Lily Allen welcomes baby number two

Congratulations to Lily Allen and Sam Cooper! The pair have welcomed their second child, a girl named Marnie Rose Cooper.

Lily is said to be overjoyed with the arrival, not only because she has a new bundle of joy, but also because her new daughter shares the same birthday as her musical heroes David Bowie and Elvis Presley.

The 27-year-old, who gave birth on Tuesday night, is said to be in good health and enjoying time with both her newborn and her 14-month-old daughter Ethel.

“Marnie is a real cutie. Sam and Lily are ecstatic about adding another girl to the family. A little sister for Ethel is brilliant news to lift the January blues for the family,” a source told UK newspaper The Sun.

Shortly before the birth, Lily was trying to bring on labour by eating curry, posting to her Twitter account, “third curry this week”.

She also tweeted that she was going to give birth while listening to heavy metal music.

“My husband is currently making me a Pantera mix cd to take to the birthing suite. #cute”, she posted.

Rosie O’Donnell welcomes her fifth child

She surprised the world when she announced she had tied the knot, and now Rosie O’Donnell has done it again, revealing that she and wife Michelle Rounds have welcomed a baby girl.

Announcing the news via Instagram, Rosie shared the first shot of their adopted baby girl.

“We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our daughter Dakota,” she wrote alongside the image.

“Mums and baby are healthy and happy,” a representative also confirmed to the MailOnline.

Rosie, who has four children with her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter, married Michelle in a secret ceremony last August.

The little arrival is certainly happy news for the pair, who have both undergone significant health scares in the past year. Michelle was diagnosed with a rare cancer and, not long after, Rosie suffered a heart attack.

The pair, who are now back in good health, have excitedly welcomed their new daughter and are planning a bigger wedding before family and friends later this year.

Zara Phillips

She is positively glowing and wearing a series of suspiciously baggy outfits, but Zara Phillips has denied she is expecting the next royal baby.

The Queen’s granddaughter is on the Gold Coast promoting the Magic Millions racing carnival and her radiant complexion and aversion to figure-hugging clothing had reporters falling over themselves to ask if she was pregnant.

“No,” Zara emphatically answered. “When you’re going out, everyone is ‘When are you getting married’, then it’s ‘When are you having kids’. In the future we’ll see what happens.”

Hilarious retro exercise equipment

From a sauna suit that promises to help you “lose inches in moisture” while doing the housework to air shorts that “massage” the body into a slimmer shape, 1970s fitness equipment was vastly different to the treadmills of today.

Instead of working up a sweat jogging, 70s men and women preferred to perspire in plastic clothing while doing no physical activity at all.

When it came to exercise machines, they favoured modified sun loungers and gadgets that promised to jiggle their excess flesh away, resulting in “rapid slimming” without a diet.

The sauna suit: ‘Just slip and wear while you work or play!’

Jiggle those love handles away.

‘Take inches from the stomach with exercise or diet.’

Air shorts: ‘Great for shedding body moisture.’

Turn your session in the sun into a workout with this modified lounger.

‘Provides same stimulating exercise as expensive equipment used in health clubs.’

This early exercise bike advocated some odd positions.

Drew Barrymore: I’m not worried about baby weight

Drew Barrymore: I'm not worried about baby weight

While most celebrity mums launch themselves into a weight-loss plan not long after giving birth, Drew Barrymore isn’t one of them.

The 37-year-old first-time mum has vowed that she won’t succumb to the Hollywood pressure placed on new mothers to bounce back after having a baby.

Drew, who welcomed daughter Olive with husband Will Kopelman on September 26, told Good Housekeeping that she has never had a bikini body, so is in no hurry to lose her baby weight.

“I’m still working on it, but I’m not worrying about it,” she told the magazine.

“We live in a society where everyone’s like, ‘Look how amazing she looks two week out [from giving birth].’ I don’t want to be on that hamster wheel; that’s hell.

“I’m never going to have the kind of body that makes me excited about bikini season. I’ve never had a ‘beach body’. But I want to feel like I’m showing up and doing my best. My goal is to be nice to myself, gentle toward myself, during this process. It’s such a sacred time.”

While she is happy in her own skin, Drew says she still feels guilty when someone with a perfect figure brags about how easy it is for them.

“I think that being happy makes the biggest impact on your physical appearance,” she said.

“Of course I want to look good in clothes. And it never makes me feel good when somebody who has an insane figure tells me, ‘I eat whatever I want.’ I’m like, ‘Thank you so much for making me feel like crap’.”

Drew says that she doesn’t believe in being perfect and does what is right for her.

“I know if I eat whatever I want, I will not look amazing. So it’s all about balance for me. But I don’t want perfection; I don’t actually believe in it. What I’ve learned along the way is, work with what you have; embrace what you’ve been given. Don’t fight against it,” she said.
