PopSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:00:12 -0700

Ashlee Simpson changed out of her usual maxi dress uniform while going to the doctor for a checkup in Santa Monica yesterday. Ashlee seems to be growing into her personal style more and more as that baby bump gets bigger, but we're wondering whether she's planning to stick with her bright red hair. Meanwhile, Jessica just signed on for her beer spokeswoman gig, but the younger Simpson girl will probably have to wait a few more months to enjoy much of her big sister's new beverage choice.

Ashlee Simpson fed her growing baby bump with lunch at The Ivy yesterday. Pregnancy hasn't cramped her style and while the maxi dress is Ashlee's preferred maternity wear, we think she could explore some of the many other stylish options out there. Whatever she's wearing, at least she knows that Pete will love her in any outfit — this weekend he showed how much he appreciates his wife with a cute blog post.

PopSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Jennifer Garner had Violet in her arms earlier today as they made their way into a children's art class in LA. Violet seems well on her way to being one of the best-educated tots in Hollywood — she is a frequent visitor to her local library and she even has a few masterpieces to her name. As not only smart, but also creative and artistic parents, it seems like those dimples and smile aren't the only great things Ben and Jen are passing on to their kids.

Garner also spoke about how inspirational Barack Obama is, while Matt was all about change. The trip was a quick one as Jen and Ben made their way home on Sunday back to Violet.

Naomi Watts juggled her baby boy Alexander, her phone, bag and one of his toys yesterday as they packed up the family SUV for a drive. It's a good thing she can balance multiple things at once because on top of being pregnant with her second child, she has three films in the works. Naomi is set to star in a remake of The Birds, as well as an adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear and Need, alongside her best pal Nicole Kidman. It's more than enough work to keep any woman busy, but one thing Naomi apparently doesn't need to worry about is planning a wedding.
