Kris Jenner is reportedly pressuring daughter Khloe Kardashian to have a baby pronto. OK, I know it’s the new sexy Hollywood thing to be pregnant. It’s like “pregnant and hot” is the new “skinny!” I mean, when you look like Claudia Schiffer, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson, I can understand the urge to bare your belly on the cover of Vogue or Us Weekly. The problem is, ladies, that babies only stay...

It’s hard to move on after losing something so precious. I should know: I lost my son. I was happy for the Travolta family after learning that Kelly Preston is expecting her third child. The death of a child is devastating and unimaginable for most parents. For John, Kelly and Ella, the loss of Jett will not be fully healed by the birth of a new child — and I am sure they aren’t expecting it to do so.

It’s not that I don’t think the changes are positive, but let’s face it: It doesn’t make them...

In asking the judge for leniency in his son Cameron’s drug-trafficking trial, Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas said that his own fame was to blame. Can living in the shadow of a parent’s spotlight be hazardous to a child’s health? On Tuesday, the younger Douglas was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of heroin possession and conspiring to sell crystal meth. In a letter to the judge,...
