Looking every bit the proud parents-to-be, Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin posed for pics at the 6th Annual Bent On Learning Inspire! Gala in New York City on Tuesday (March 10).
The pregnant yoga instructor, 30, looked beautiful in a black maternity dress at the event, which was hosted by fellow celebrity mom Bridget Moynahan.
“He’s kicking!! Must be a yoga fan @bentonlearning,” Hilaria Instagrammed an image at the event, which raised money for the nonprofit organization committed to teaching yoga to New York City public school children.
The 30 Rock star, 56, and his wife expect their second child together – a boy – later this year. They are already parents to 1-year-old daughter Carmen.

Julianne Moore covers the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar. She’s such a beautiful redhead, but I’m not sure if Duchess Kate-esque curls are her best look. Bazaar conducted this interview in the heat of the Oscar campaign – the bulk of the interview takes place on the same day as the Oscar nominees’ luncheon – but considering everyone knew Julianne was going to win, she seems at peace here. Like, she wasn’t trying to come across any particular Oscar-friendly way. If anything, I think this interview would have caused a minor ruckus if it was released before the Oscars, mostly because of Julianne’s casual use of “queer” as a pejorative. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
She hates the red carpet mani-cam: “I’m 54 years old. I can’t make my fingers walk; it’s humiliating! And a guy asked me to lift up my skirt to show them my shoes, and I said, ‘I don’t need to do that. Let’s keep some dignity.’ ”
The red carpet marathon, with kids: “It helps that the children are older. When I did this before—all four of the other nominations—my kids were babies. It’s easier doing it without an infant, put it that way. Poor Rosamund Pike. She just had a baby. It’s really tough. And she looks f–king awesome. But I’ve been there! With my daughter, I’d been nursing her almost a year, and one of my boobs conked out, so I was completely uneven.” Cutlets to the rescue? “Oh, yeah! It’s not glamorous at all, by the way.”
She fully admits she watches what she eats: “We’d all be lying if we said we aren’t watching what we eat. Of course we are! I think we’re also really stressed. I’m not a stress eater. I get nervous and I don’t eat. But, you know, I had a dress on the other day, and I said to my manager, ‘When you see my back fat sticking out, tuck it back in!’ ” Chuckle. “Be a friend.”
She uses “queer” as a pejorative? “I have great kids. I have a great husband—and I know it sounds queer! My son and daughter both play basketball, and my husband and I do our best to go to every game. We try to spend time as a family. We just try to be super involved in each other’s lives… The fact that they get involved in all of this—it’s a good thing!”
Which actresses she loves: “Ellen Page [who stars as Moore’s girlfriend in the upcoming Freeheld]. Kristen Stewart, I just love her. Emma Stone is fabulous. I love Catherine Deneuve. I love Tilda Swinton. But women are fabulous. I like our camaraderie, our similarities, how we collaborate. When my daughter was born, I looked at her in the bassinet and I said, ‘You’re one of us.’ I’m going to cry if I think about it too much. I had this little girl and was like, ‘Yup. You’re one of us. ‘”

It really upsets me that she’s using “queer” as a pejorative, like “loving my family is totally gay.” Really, Julianne? Do you think we’re going to get an apology for that, or will Julianne be able to coast on goodwill? Will GLAAD give her a pass because she’s always been so publicly supportive of LGBTQ issues?
Update: A lot of commenters feel like Julianne was using “queer” to mean “odd” or strange. I see the argument, but I still believe she was using the word like “loving my husband is so gay.”

New mom Terri Seymour shared the first official photo of her newborn daughter via Instagram Tuesday.
“Finally she’s here! We are the happiest Mummy and Daddy in the world. Words can’t express how happy we feel #TrueLove. Now back to staring at my baby,” she captioned the image of her baby girl’s bare feet.
The TV personality, 40, and British model Clark Mallon, 24, welcomed their daughter on Monday, March 9, in Los Angeles.
The Extra correspondent is remaining mum on all other birth details at this time.
Last month, Terri opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about the best baby advice she had received.
“Make the most of it, because it goes by so quickly,” she shared. “That’s been really good advice. It goes by so fast, so enjoy every second. Try to get as much rest as I can now, because obviously I’m not going to get as much sleep when the baby comes along.”
There are several updates to yesterday’s story about the leaked video of OU Sigma Alpha Espsilon members chanting a horribly offensive racist song. OU President David Boren shut down the frat house and expelled two students, who were the “ringleaders” of this scandal. Boren says these students can contact OU’s Equal Opportunity Office if they wish to appeal their expulsion. We also talked about Waka Flocka Flame, who was scheduled to perform for SAE next month. The rapper cancelled his performance, saying he was “disgusted and disappointed” in the brothers’ actions. Let’s update with bulletpoints.
* Us Weekly published an additional statement from the Waka Flocka’s management, who wishes to emphasize that he is not punishing the university: “Let our decision weld a platform of conversation rather than raise the brows of anger among those who share our distaste and disgust from such a video. This was not a disciplinary action on the innocent students, nor among the guilty that share such wayward thoughts, but a collective reminder of the stain in which remains.”
* CBS News spoke with the SAE house mom, 78-year-old Beauton Gilbow. She claimed to be shocked at the leaked video: “I heard the words. Unbelievable … This is not SAE.” Then a new video surfaced, which shows Gilbow “rapping” the n-word too.
* CBS also interviewed the fraternity’s black chef, Howard Dixon, who is now unemployed. He cooked for SAE for 14 years and “considers the students his family even though he is ‘shocked’ by their remarks.” Alumni raised over $34,000 for Dixon.
* One of the expelled students, Parker Rice, issued an apology via People, which reads (in part), “I am deeply sorry for what I did Saturday night. It was wrong and reckless. I made a horrible mistake by joining into the singing and encouraging others to do the same. On Monday, I withdrew from the University and sadly, at this moment our family is not able to be in our home because of threatening calls as well as frightening talk on social media.” Parker says he was drunk, and “the song was taught to us.”
* Jesse Williams (who has previously spoken at length on on institutional racism) tweeted about the SAE video. He starts off by linking the SAE chant lyrics to the death of a Haitian American student during hazing by the SAE Cornell chapter and goes from there:
“Hang ’em from a tree” is proud celebration of the devastating kidnap, torture & murder of Americans by actual terrorists, for fun. #SAE

#Tradition just means it’s happened for awhile. #Tradition is not a reason, it’s a pattern. Reason is your job. #Traditions kill everyday.

#NotJustSAE is highlighting the pervasiveness of anti-black & brown activities on today’s college campuses. #GoToThere #CultureOfDestruction
— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) March 11, 2015
Jesse’s first tweet references the death of George Desdunes, a Haitian Cornell student, in 2011. He pledged SAE and was found dead after a hazing ritual. Desdunes was tied up, forced to take several shots of alcohol, and left for dead. This NYT article talks about the coverup of George Desdunes’ death. As always, Jesse cuts straight to the truth of the matter, and he doesn’t want us to forget that the SAE fraternity has a damning history. This racist chant didn’t spring out of nowhere — it’s an institutional problem that must be dealt with before another tragedy happens.

Expectant mum Kate Middleton stepped out in style while visiting Margate’s Turner Contemporary art gallery in Kent, South England on Wednesday (March 11).
The Duchess of Cambridge, 33, turned to an old favorite for the outing: a $265 dalmatian print coat by Hobbs that she also wore at a similar stage of her pregnancy when she was carrying Prince George in June 2013.
Sporting a sleek ponytail, the pregnant Duchess accessorized her look with Annoushka earrings, a Mulberry clutch, and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman pumps.
The royal mum-to-be, who is now eight months’ pregnant, also wore the outfit when she named a cruise ship – her last public outing before she went on maternity leave.
This marks the second time this week that Kate has recycled an outfit. On Monday, she looked pretty in the pink Alexander McQueen coat she previously wore it at Queen Elizabeth’s birthday parade two years ago.
All eyes will be on the pregnant Duchess next week as well. On Thursday, she is scheduled to visit the set of Downton Abbey, and Friday she is joining husband Prince William to pay tribute to those who served in Afghanistan.
The royal couple – who are already parents to 19-month-old son Prince George – expect their second child within weeks.

That’s what Harrison Ford said to me when I interviewed him in a sling in 2008 in Cannes after breaking my arm:
“So you clipped your wing.”
He clipped his wing(s) too. Thanks God he’s expected to make a full recovery.
Here are some photos of Ashton Kutcher taking his five-month-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle for a hike in LA. Mila Kunis wasn’t there, but it looks like Ashton brought along a bro-friend. I realize that the paparazzi have gotten some shots here and there of Wyatt in the past few months, but these are the first pics I’ve seen where she wasn’t all covered up. Obviously, Ashton doesn’t want Wyatt to be photographed and he looked pretty pissed at the pap. But… yeah, I did coo a little bit at Wyatt’s chunky leg and her little elephant hat. Adorable.
Meanwhile, Ashton is fighting the good fight for gender equality in baby-rearing. He posted this on his Facebook this week:
There are NEVER diaper changing stations in mens public restrooms. The first public men’s room that I go into that has one gets a free shout out on my FB page! ?#?BeTheChange?
[From Facebook]
I’ve never really thought about it because A) I don’t have kids and B) I can’t remember the last time I was in a men’s public bathroom, but yes, that’s something that should change. Men should be more involved with their kids and I believe that with each generation, men do get better at splitting child-rearing duties (it’s still far from equal, of course). There should be diaper changing stations in men’s restrooms. The end.
PS… I don’t get how Wyatt is attached to that baby carrier? Is he just wearing some kind of baby harness and then holding Wyatt in his arms?
