  • Drew Barrymore, Ciara Show Off Baby Bumps at Safe Kids Event

    Drew Barrymore, Ciara Show Off Baby Bumps at Safe Kids Event

    Drew Barrymore and Ciara showed off their very pregnant baby bellies at a Safe Kids event on Saturday.

    Barrymore and Ciara were two of many celebrities who took part in Safe Kids Day in Los Angeles. The event was essentially an educational playdate to raise funds and awareness of preventable childhood injuries.

    Malin Akerman, Tom Arnold, Piers Morgan, Giuliana Rancic, Vanna White, and Kendra Wilkinson also lent star power to the event.

    “I try to have a sense of humor about how [much] you need to learn and tackle, and how to remain fun-loving and not, like, uptight because there’s so much to care about and to learn about,” Barrymore said in advance of the Kids Safe event.

    “I’ve never been so worried in my life about making sure that something I care about more than I’ve ever cared in my life is safe and intact.”

    Barrymore’s daughter Olive Barrymore Kopelman was born in September 2012. In December 2013 Barrymore revealed that she and husband Will Kopelman would welcome another daughter to the family in 2014.

    Barrymore has said that motherhood has altered how she sees her career.

    “It used to be work first and now it’s life first … So even though I’m doing a lot, there’s a lot of things that have slowed down. I don’t make that many movies anymore. I’m not really producing right now. And I’m trying to do jobs where I can work from home or be at home by dinnertime if I do have to go out to meetings. You just sort of change your life.”

    In January Barrymore published a book of photography titled Find It in Everything.

    Blended, in which she stars with Adam Sandler, is scheduled to release in May.

    Barrymore is also the owner of Flower Beauty, a line of makeup and nail polish sold exclusively at Walmart.

    Ciara announced during a January 2014 appearance on The View that she and fiancé Future are expecting their first child together.

  • Malin Akerman Brings Comedy To ABC In “Trophy Wife”

    Malin Akerman, a Swedish actress, has been in several films over the years and appeared with brief stints on a number of television shows as well. If you have not heard her name before now, it may be just because many of her roles have been in independent films, or she has simply just been a minor character in the film.

    Her most recent project is a comedy on ABC called Trophy Wife. Previously, she has appeared in films such as 27 Dresses, Couples Retreat, and many more. She has been seen in several films, but never received much recognition for her work and perhaps turned to television as a way to remedy that. Her new show, Trophy Wife, centers around Akerman as she tries to fit in as the third wife to an older man, stepparent his three kids and deal with his meddling ex wives, according to US Weekly. Of course, a character like this would be seen as a trophy wife, as Akerman is a younger blonde that an older guy would want more than his ex-wives who are all much older.

    She is forced to keep her cool while she deals with his first ex, the other star of the show, Marcia Gay Harden. Akerman plays Kate, a reformed party girl, who finds dififculty dealing with kids for the first time. Her new husband is played by Bradley Whitford and his other ex-wife is Michaela Watkins. Akerman has always had an appreciation for comedy and gravitated toward the genre partly because of her parents and their silliness. NBC News mentions that the 35-year-old actress also recently became a mother in real life, and the news came shortly after she accepted the role.

    She has also turned to television after feeling that her slew of films was getting to be too hectic of a schedule for her, and wanted more time with her family. She said of the role, “You know what? I would love to just be home, be with my husband, be with my friends and just kind of have more of a regular schedule.”

    Trophy Wife premiered on September 24, and will continue airing on Tuesdays at 9:30 throughout the Fall season. It airs on ABC, following the new series The Goldbergs.

  • Malin Akerman Is Pregnant And Already Craving Things

    Malin Akerman, the actress perhaps best known for her roles in “The Watchmen” and “The Heartbreak Kid”, has announced that she and rocker husband Roberto Zincone are expecting their first child next spring.

    Akerman says she and her husband are enjoying the early days of her pregnancy and haven’t given much thought yet about planning, such as what the nursery will look like. She is, however, already having cravings for “the most random things — fries and grilled cheese sandwiches, and everything that’s bad for you. But it tastes so good!”

    The actress compared the cravings to the morning after a rowdy night, saying, “It’s kind of like when you are hungover…but it’s that kind of feeling where you want to eat everything greasy…so the diet is great, I love it.”

    Akerman and her husband have been married for ten years but only recently decided to try for a baby. As for finding out the sex, the actress says they haven’t decided whether they’ll do it or not.
