Celebrity Mommy News!

*Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner welcomed a baby girl Tuesday! No name given yet, but the couple has a first child named Violet. Hopefully they will stick with normal names and not a bizarre name as seems to be the norm with celebrities lately. Ben + Jen have remained pretty low-key lately, which is great for them!

*Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell welcomed twin girls Dec. 28! This is the first children for the couple who go together after Romijn's split from actor John Stamos. The names are Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. Somewhat normal, but also a little strange. I've never heard the name Tulip on a person before.

*And in celeb mommy gossip: Kelly Rutherford from Gossip Girl has reportedly split from her millionaire husband. Rutherford, who is 3 months pregnant, was said to have filed divorce papers on Dec. 30 citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple also has a two year old son. It's unfortunate because they seemed like two sweet people and her being pregnant is not a great time for a split!

Good luck to all the celebrity mommies!

I Miss V. Mars!

I've enjoyed many a tv show in my day, but none have saddened me with their cancellation as much as Veronica Mars. I was reminded of the show today when I was listening to a mixed CD I had made that had the theme song "We Used to Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols.

Anyway, Veronica Mars was portrayed by Kristen Bell, a fine actress. The show was high quality and very stellar, but was on the CW and was one of those shows critics raved about, but didn't get high enough ratings. It's a cult classic.

If you have never seen it, I recommend renting the seasons (or buying them!) My husband and I loved it and were devastated when it was cancelled. They gave Kristen the narrator role in Gossip Girl as a consolation prize, and okay, so I love Gossip Girl too, but not nearly as much as I loved my V. Mars!

RIP to one of the best shows EVER!
