![Maya Rudolph has announced that she's pregnant with her fourth child. Rudolph and her partner, director Paul Thomas Anderson, are already parents to Pearl, 7, Lucille, 3½, and Jack, 21 months. Appearing on <i>The Ellen DeGeneres Show</i>, fellow guest Salma Hayek said, "I remember last summer [Maya] said, ‘I can’t believe I’m having three children. I’m never doing this again.'" Laughing, Rudolph replied, “It’s amazing how we forget. It’s like that light pen thing they do in <i>Men in Black</i>. Somebody [pointed it in my face] and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/04/18/4202361/maya-80x80.jpg)

![Days after announcing her second pregnancy, Halle Berry wore a fitted dress while promoting new film <i>The Call</i> in Buenos Aires on April 8. The 46-year-old admitted to CNN that the pregnancy "has been the biggest surprise of [her] life", adding, “I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it’s been a big surprise and the most wonderful."](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/04/09/4177082/halle-b-80x80.jpg)
![Kim Kardashian wore a white maxi dress to grab some frozen yoghurt with her family in LA on April 3. The star has admitted she's made the switch from wearing heels all the time to sometimes wearing flats, tweeting, "I never thought I would ever say this… But I’m wearing flats today.” Later she added, “You know what, [heels] actually hurt my back. I love high heels … Whatever makes me feel good, I want to wear. And I love wearing heels. I’m trying the flats, but we’ll see.” For more, check out our <a href="http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/photogallery/life-style/family-entertainment/kim-kardashians-pregnancy-20130208-2e3hc.html" target="_blank">gallery of Kim's maternity fashion</a>.](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/04/05/4167119/kim-white-80x80.jpg)
![Anna Chlumsky appeared on a US talk show a week after announcing her pregnancy. The <i>Veep</i> star (and <i>My Girl</i> child actress) also revealed she's having a girl in the Australian winter. The 32-year-old said she's planning to buy and wear "as [many] cheap, crazy-looking things as possible", adding, “I went on an H&M rampage the other day and bought these crazy leggings with leopards on them - not leopard-print, but leopards. I’m taking advantage of this time to be kind of insane.”](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/04/05/4167574/anna-80x80.jpg)
![Dax Shepard blogged about his last visit with his dad, Dave, who was in the final stages of his battle with cancer in late 2012. He <a href=http://daxtumbler.tumblr.com/post/45876994574/my-fathers-horniness#_=_" target="_blank">wrote that a pregnant Bell surprised the pair</a> by flying in from LA unannounced. “[Kristen] lifted her shirt up and he put his hand on her swollen stomach. He left it there for the better part of an hour. He was smiling from ear to ear, sitting contently, unable to put together a sentence, but still capable of connecting to the new family member we were creating. He wasn’t going to make it to the birth, but that didn’t get in the way of him meeting the new baby. If I live to be a thousand, I will still be in debt to my wife for giving him that one last thrill.” Dave died on December 31.](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/03/31/4153829/bell-dad-80x80.jpg)
![It's a boy for MIchael Buble and his wife, Luisana Lopilato! “We are so excited. We have just come from the hospital, and the sonogram was pretty clear - it’s a boy! We are thrilled,” Buble told Page Six. The couple had their ultrasound appointment just after learning of the selection of the new pope, Pope Francis, and Buble said, "[Luisana] said, ‘It is a sign!’ But there’s no way we are going to call him Frank, even if it did work well for Frank Sinatra." The baby is due in August.](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/03/15/4111817/buble-80x80.jpg)
![Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria have confirmed they're having a girl in the Australian winter - much to the mum-to-be's surprise. “I was convinced it was a boy. I always just thought I was going to have a boy first,” she told <i>People</i> magazine on March 11. “[But] my mother told me a week before we found out that she had a dream that it was a girl. I started to think [she was right] because my mother’s dreams are always true.”](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/03/15/4111828/hilaria-80x80.jpg)
![Jessica Simpson appeared on <i>Ellen</i> on March 6, speaking about her surprise second baby ("apparently protection was just thrown out the window") and feeling run down. "[Pregnant] with Maxwell, I felt amazing. Like, I could do everything, eat everything. Do whatever I wanted. I had a lot of energy. This time around ... I'm like, exhausted, eating Tums. That's my snack of choice!" She also said she's eating better this time around: "I'm not really craving as much and I know how hard it is to get off, so I'm trying to make healthier, wiser decisions." Simpson is reportedly having a boy she and fiance Eric Johnson will call Ace.](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/03/07/4088390/jsimp-80x80.jpg)
Jessica Simpson carried daughter Maxwell, 11 months, after having lunch in LA on April 6. It's believed she's due around the end of June.
