Aishwarya Rai Pregnant

After dozens of false baby bump reports over the years, variously triggered by sumptuous dinners, lack of exercise or a ill fitting dresses, Aishwarya Rai has a bun in the oven for real, confirmed by none other than Pa-In-Law Amitabh Bachchan.

Aishwarya, 37, and Abhishek Bachchan, 35, who celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary this April, are expecting their first child together.

"T 410 -NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!" Amitabh shared his excitement with his twitter fans around midnight of June 20.

Amitabh's next tweet said:

"The child of Abhishek and Aishwarya shall be the first Bachchan of the generation after my brother and me ..."

"Clarifying : Amitabh and Ajitabh , first generation Bachchan ... then Abhishek and Bhim and now Abhisheks and Aishwarya's ..."

Abhishek Bachchan, who can get fairly chirpy on Twitter, has so far let his father do the talking.

Aishwarya's visit at Cannes 2011 last month had sparked fresh pregnancy rumors as she had looked curvier than her usual self and had walked the red carpet in dresses with a belly covering flap.

More recently, pregnancy rumors surfaced during her appearance at the Prix de Diane Longines at Hippodrome de Chantilly in France on June 12, where her two piece dress had a loose top and she was seen frequently covering her stomach with her hand.

Aishwarya is currently filming for Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine, which rolled on June 7 on a 45 day start-to-finish schedule.

Aishwarya, who has not signed any other film, may not be seen on the silver screen for a long time following the release of Heroine in February 2012.

Natalie Portman accused of popularising premarital pregnancy

Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman, who is expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millipied, has been blasted by political commentator Mike Huckabee for getting pregnant out of wedlock. The 29-year-old who won the Academy Award this year for her role as a troubled ballerina in the psychological thriller ‘Black Swan’, was criticised for being a wrong role model for young Americans, by the former Arkansas governor on a radio show, reported Contactmusic. The Fox news host said that the actress is portraying a distorted image of parenthood as unlike her many American single mothers cannot afford to raise a child alone. “One of the things that’s troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, ‘Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having these children, and they’re doing just fine,” Huckabee said on radio show hosted by Michael Medved. “But there aren’t really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie. And I think it gives a distorted image that yes, not everybody hires nannies, and caretakers, and nurses. Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care”. The Israel born actress is believed to be expecting a boy and is due to give birth this summer

Pregnant Alyssa Milano ‘kept awake by trips to the bathroom’

Alyssa Milano has revealed that her unborn baby is already keeping her up all night. Appearing at the premier of Hall Pass in Los Angeles on Wednesday, she explained to People, “I feel really good but I’m not sleeping great because of the many trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night. “So, I don’t know. I feel good, but if there’s a time I feel like I need to slow down, I will.” She added that choosing what to wear has become easier since falling pregnant. “I’m not as body conscious or concerned with the way I look,” she said. “It’s more about what’s going to be comfortable versus what looks flattering. It’s a whole different world that I’m enjoying a lot.” With her first trimester out of the way, she said that she is planning to start preparing for the baby soon. “Everyone says don’t do anything the first trimester, because God forbid something happens,” she said. “So, I haven’t really done anything. I’m going to New York to do a part in New Year’s Eve, and I’ll be back home in three weeks, so I figure I’ll start then.”

Pregnant Mariah can`t stop cooking

Singer Nick Cannon fears putting on more weight than his pregnant wife Mariah Carey as she can`t stop cooking.

The couple is currently expecting twins and Cannon revealed that he is in more danger than his wife of putting on weight during the pregnancy because she keeps cooking food and then refuses to eat it, a website reports.

“I think she`s figured out brilliantly that when she craves stuff she doesn`t necessarily have to eat it. When she cooks, she cooks everything from scratch and then the cravings go away. So I get stuck with eating all the food. I`ll be gaining weight during this pregnancy,” he said.

Cannon is in awe of his wife and admitted she is handling expectant parenthood much better than he is.

“She`s holding up beautifully. To see this strength! It`s a different type of strength to carry around two babies. She`s not even concerned with her aches and pains which I`m sure are great. She`s so nurturing right now. It`s wonderful. It`s amazing to see.”

“I`m extremely excited about bringing new life into the world. It`s a journey every single day. It`s something new. I`m nervous. I`m excited. We`re just taking it one day at a time,” he added.
