Daily Baby: Gwyneth’s New Gig, Time’s Best/Worst Moms, Miley Taking Scandal In Stride

By Natasha Burton

GwynethGwyneth’s been busy! First a box-office hit, a TV show, and now Defamer.com reports that Gwyneth Paltrow is the new face of Tod’s, purveyor of classic high-end driving shoes and leather bags. Last week she began her first day on the new job, filming a commercial in Rome.

Time magazine put up a fun Best/Worst Moms of Pop Culture feature on its main site. The list includes such moms as Marge Simpson, Dumbo’s mother, even the mom in Pink Floyd’s “The Wall!” I found it pretty entertaining. You can check it out here.

Miley Cyrus is back to business after her sheet-wrapped Vanity Fair photo scandal. The tween just released her latest single, and in between concerts and filming Hannah Montana, she may also be gearing up to record a duet with John Travolta. “Johnny may sing [a duet] with Miley,” his wife Kelly Preston told E!. Both Miley and John are providing voices for characters in the animated film, Bolt.

Dog and Baby Gifting Suite Brings Out Star Moms and Dads

By Natasha Burton

Silver SpoonThe celebumoms and dads came out for the The Silver Spoon Dog and Baby Gifting Suite at the Hyatt Century City in Los Angeles last weekend. Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, Samantha Harris, Shar Jackson, Scott Baio, Beverly Mitchell (7th Heaven), Drew Lachey (with his wife Lea), and Jodie Sweetin (Full House) were just some of the attendees.

Tori dropped in with son Liam and husband Dean in tow. The very expectant mother picked up gifts for her new baby, including a Gita Manny diaper bag for husband Dean, who said, “Man, this is an awesome manny bag! I wish I had this when Liam was born.” There was also a bit of a 90210 reunion: Tori Spelling got to introduce her son Liam to his honorary uncle, Ian Ziering, for the first time. Ian ran up to Tori to give her a big hug and congratulate her on her next baby. They caught up over a healthy snack--Nola Ice treats.

Ian wasn’t the only Dancing with the Stars cast member to grace the event. Mom Samantha Harris stopped by the Gita Diaper display and liked the bags so much she switched her old diaper bag with a Gita bag right there, throwing her old one away at the booth. Drew Lachey also left with one of Gita’s manny diaper bags. He said “I also end up carrying my wife’s pink and purple one so I am VERY happy I have a manny diaper bag!”

Actor Scott Baio and his wife also stopped by the event, picking up Lucky Kid togs and Love Me Baby Me products for their newborn daughter, Bailey, who is six months old. Scott effused that “being a Dad is the best thing in the world.” He also grabbed some Homemade Doggy Dinners for his pooch, saying, “the Chicken Jerky Treats and Sweet Paw-tato Chips taste so good.” How does he know? He said he eats them himself! Ugh.

Heidi Klum’s Jordache Line Launches

By Natasha Burton

heidiHeidi has moved from starring in Jordache’s new ad campaign to creating her own designs for the brand. In fact, the mom of three didn’t just conceptualize the line, she was totally hands-on–-or should that be “rear-end on”?—when it came to the designing process.  “I was a fit model for all the clothes until it was the way I wanted it,” Klum told People magazine at the launch of “Heidi Klum for Jordache” at Bloomingdales in the Beverly Center mall last week. “I wanted something that was wearable, that fit great, cute tops, not too complicated. You go in your closet, you put it on, it fits, it works, it’s still cute, it’s sexy.”

Heidi also incorporated some of her past designs into this project. “All the buttons have my clover on it — I’ve been designing clover jewelry for the last five years so I wanted to incorporate that,” she explained. The collection already has its first fans — Heidi’s pals! “They have everything already! Of course, I have to hook up all my friends.” The line, which includes blouses and knits, is available exclusively at Bloomingdales nationwide, retailing for $140-$298.

Daily Baby: Heidi Divulges Seal’s Sweet Proposal, Gwyneth Heading for the Small Screen + more

By Natasha Burton

HeidiHeidi Klum reveals to People magazine how her hunky hubby, Seal, proposed marriage. Heidi said that while on vacation in Canada, Seal “had an igloo built there, and they’d brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles. Very, very romantic!”

People.com reports that Gwyneth Paltrow and long-time pal, star chef Mario Batali, recently completed filming a documentary series, “Spain . . . On the Road Again,” in which they “travel through Iberia (in a convertible – everyone shares the driving), eating, cooking and taking in the sights, along with food writer Mark Bittman and Spanish star Claudia Bassols.” The show is Gwyneth’s television debut and it is scheduled to air in the fall on PBS. Gwyneth says she decided to join Batali because, “it sounded like fun.” Check out http://www.spainontheroadagain.com for more info.

In honor of Mother’s Day, UsMagazine.com has a fun “Guess the Celeb Mom” photo quiz up on their site. See how many you can get right!
