It’s A Girl for Gymnast Dominique Moceanu

By Lolita Carrico

Olympic gold-winning gymnast Dominique Moceanu and her husband, Dr. Michael Canales, welcomed daughter Carmen Noel Canales, on Christmas Day. Carmen is their first child and was born at Cleveland's MacDonald Women's Hospital. Dominique told People magazine, "The miracle of baby Carmen being born on Christmas Day makes this wonderful time all the more special to us. This is the best Christmas present we could have ever received!"

Dominique, now 26, became a household name in 1996 when she competed, and won the gold medal, at the summer Olympics as part of the U.S. women's gymnastics team (aptly nicknamed the Magnificent Seven). Her hubby Michael, 30, is also a former gymnast and practices podiatric surgery in Cleveland.

Parents-to-Be Jessica & Cash are Engaged

By Natasha Burton

Jessica Alba and boyfriend Cash Warren are getting married. Jessica is currently three months pregnant with the couple's first child. "I can confirm that they are engaged," said Jessica's publicist Brad Cafarelli.

Rumors of an engagement swirled just before Christmas, when she was spotted wearing a large diamond ring on her ring finger. The couple have not set a wedding date yet, Jessica allegedly does not want to be pregnant while she says her vows, so the couple will likely wait until after their baby is born.

Jamie Lynn Spears: Let the Rumors Begin

By Natasha Burton

Did anyone check out OK Magazine's cover story on Jamie Lynn Spears? I got a chance to read it during my Christmas travels and unfortunately, everything in the "exclusive" article was already yesterday's news by the time the mag hit the stands.

Though I did notice that Jamie Lynn and her mom Lynne reported father-to-be Casey Aldrige's age as 18 and claimed the two teenagers were not living together, as Mommywood and other news stories initially reported. Given the 16 to 18 year ratio, Casey cannot be charged with statutory rape, according to state laws in Louisiana, Jamie Lynn's hometown, and California, where she films her Nickelodeon show. As for living together--I certainly hope that was just a rumor! Could you imagine letting your child live with another teenager?

The plot thickens this week: Now that the young star has very publicly announced her unplanned pregnancy and is appearing to be candid about the details, the tabloids are digging up dirt to see what actually isn't being said. This week, Star magazine claims to have the real story on Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, going as far to say that Casey is not the real father of the baby! They claim that the true dad is an older man who would face serious statutory rape charges were his identity leaked. Star also says that Casey is a serial cheater who got a different barely-legal girl pregnant in early 2007. The article uses "sources" to qualify information, so credibility might be a bit questionable.

Though, Star was one of the first to report two other "no way" rumors--Nick and Jessica splitting up and Brad and Angie getting together.

Money-Conscious Celebrity Moms Talk About Pinching Pennies

By Natasha Burton
Celebumoms may have some clear advantages over the rest of us -â?? money and all the hired help, beauty products, etc., it can buy -- but some are still conscious of their spending. Reece Witherspoon, for example, told US Weekly that even though she pulls in $15 million a film, she still calls up her accountant when she, "wants to rent a beach house" and doesn't just splurge on a whim.

"Grey's Anatomy" star Chandra Wilson, mom to Michael, 2, also watches her hard-earned wages. When asked on "The View" if she clips coupons, Chandra responded, "Absolutely, because that's what they are for."
