During an interview with the Newcastle Herald ‘Weekender’ magazine, award winning bluegrass musician John Butler, from the John Butler Trio, spoke about the enormous changes that he has undergone since becoming a father to his two children, daughter Banjo, and son Jahli (born in 2006), with wife Danielle Caruana. John says their parenting has caused a "dynamic shift" in his life slowly teaching him "the infinite potential of love."

For me it was like realising I had another vital organ. I’m a love freak, a hopeless romantic, but I didn’t really know love. When Banjo was born I experienced an intensity of feeling I didn’t know existed. You think you’re the sun and everything revolves around you. Then all of a sudden there’s this other being in orbit which you revolve around. I stopped seeing things in political ways, in tired ‘isms’. I watch the Iraq war on TV as a father and see children with no legs. I mean, what the f— just happened? I want my kids to grow up as human beings, not as political followers or religious followers.

Donald Trump made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on Friday and discussed his son, Barron William, who turned 1 last week, with wife Melania, and why he’s going to wait another 20 years before being a hands-on dad. Asked if he performs fatherly duties or just walks around saying, "Daddy’s wealthy," Donald replies,

Barron has a great mother who really takes care of him – the diapers, the whole thing, but she takes care of this child so beautifully and I figure I’ll take over when he’s 21 and he comes to work for me. Now I don’t know how I’m going to be when he’s 21.

The business mogul, 60, says that while Barron makes him feel young and he and Dave, 59, who has a 3-year-old son, Harry Joseph, have no choice but to feel young because of their sons, he does often think about raising a child later in life.

How do you feel when you or I go to school, let’s say in 10, 12 years to see the teachers? And we’re slightly older and you have the other fathers who are 25 and we’re going to be a little older, but that’s okay.

Donald also briefly mentions the Miss USA pageant and its host Nancy O’Dell, who is 6 1/2 months pregnant with her first child (Donald mistakenly says she’s 8 months along). There were rumors that Donald wanted to oust Nancy from her hosting post because he didn’t like the way pregnant women look, but he says she did a great job and looked "really fantastic."

There’s an old school when you’re pregnant, you go home and have the baby and then the modern school is when you are pregnant, you’re allowed to work until about three minutes before you have the baby, so of course I’m very much from the new school and I love that she was pregnant.

Grey’s Anatomy star Chandra Wilson told Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show last night about how she was caught by surprise when her doctor brought up her television medical roots during the C-section operation for her son, Michael, now 17 months.

When I was pregnant with my son, my doctor never mentioned to me that she knew anything that I was doing or that I was an actor. And it wasn’t until I was on the Cesarean table, wide open to the world, that she says over to her assistant, ‘You know she plays a doctor on TV?’ I was like, ‘This is not the time to discuss what I do!’

Chandra also has two daughters, Serena, 14, and Joy, 8, with her longtime boyfriend.

Do you have any crazy c-section stories?

24’s Ricky Schroder was on The Tonight Show last night and told Jay Leno a story about how he left his kids, Holden, 15, Luke, 14, Cambrie, 10, and Faith Anne, 5 1/2, with wife Andrea, shaking their heads at him. The children are big surfing aficionados and the family spends a lot of time at the beach. During one visit at the Malibu pier last year, Billabong was hosting a celebrity surfing contest in which Ricky entered and competed alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the cast of The O.C. – or tried to compete, at least.

So we all got in the water and I was the only one who didn’t get past the surf break. I got blown into the pier. My kids watched. They just shook their heads. My kids are very embarrassed of their dad right now.

It is hard to think of anyone who has more on their plate than celebrity chef, Suzanne Goin, 39. She owns two hot Los Angeles restaurants, A.O.C. and Lucques; she supports local famers by purchasing all her ingredients from them and raising money for them. Not to mention, she has won multiple James Beard: Best Chef in California/Best Cookbook Awards, and now she is expecting twins – a boy and a girl – with her husband David Lentz.

In a recent interview with The Yogi Times, Suzanne talked about her excitement for her new baby adventure. Suzanne said:

It is a little bit of a life change and I’m excited. I don’t exactly know how it is all going to play out, but we tend to do things in twos. Two restaurants, two cats and now two kids. I get to start working on my purées. It’s going to be a crazy adventure.

The couple will be opening a third restaurant in Santa Barbara, California this year called The Hungry Cat.

Howard K. Stern is going back to court Monday morning on another appeal he filed in the paternity battle over Anna Nicole Smith’s baby girl, Dannielynn, 6 months. Howard is now trying to stop DNA results in the case from ever being revealed. In the affidavit, Howard claims that Larry Birkhead’s relationship with Anna "ended well before the preceding 280th day from the birth of Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern." He also claims that Larry "maintained his own separate residence in California" and says that Anna "never resided" in that home with him.

Howard’s legal team believes the judge should not have ordered the DNA collection because Larry didn’t sufficiently rebut Howard’s presumption of paternity with evidence that he is the father. To secure the paternity test, Howard is making a case that Larry must first offer proof of evidence that he is the father. Howard will make his case in a Bahamian court of appeals on Monday.

I’m Not Obsessed has pictures of Salma Hayek arriving at her NYC hotel earlier this week. Salma definitely had that pregnancy glow going on. She also looks like she is being pretty tolerant of the paparazzi, considering they have been practically following her every move since she announced her pregnancy. Nevertheless, pregnancy is looking very good on Salma.

People Magazine has a picture of actress Natalie Portman, 25, sporting what could be a possible baby bump. This picture has gotten some buzz going lately around whether or not the actress could be pregnant. As of now it is all just speculation, nothing has been confirmed.
