Gwen Stefani

Today is Christmas, but for many of the stars we know and love, the best present ever came earlier this year. We are talking, of course, about celebrity babies!

Here's a delightful photo sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Check out this poignant moment with Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and their daughter, Honor ...

Jessica and Cash are just two of the new parents of 2008, of course.

Jamie Lynn Spears became America's hottest unwed teen mom when she welcomed little Maddie Briann (below, left). Bristol Palin may compete for that title, but hasn't given birth quite yet - though Sarah Palin welcomed baby Trig in April!

Elsewhere, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves pooled their remarkable genes and created Levi, while many big stars, such as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Nicole Richie and Nicole Kidman, became first-time mothers.

Nothing like a little celebrity baby news to start the day! Gwen Stefani and eldest son Kingston Rossdale, a.k.a. the Coolest Chick Alive and Cutest Celebrity Baby Alive, goofed around after grabbing a bite at La Bread in Los Feliz, Calif...

While son Kingston feels up Ruby Maguire, Gwen Stefani is showing off two-month old Zuma to the world.

The pair visited a library in Beverly Hills yesterday.

Zuma's dad, rocker Gavin Rossdale, describes the baby as "amazing" and "very sweet," adding:

"He hangs out. He's got his neck together. He's gone through with the floppy stage."

In just 24 short years on this planet, Ashlee Simpson has had her father purchase a singing career for her, had some bad plastic surgery, become a celebrity gossip mainstay, then gotten knocked up by and hitched to Pete Wentz. Not a bad life!

Here's a little photo tribute to Ashlee on her birthday today. Click to enlarge ...

She's not the only star turning another year wiser (she can only go up) today. Oh no. Other celebrity birthdays include someone even more worthless, Brandon Davis (a.k.a. Greasy Bear), as well as the coolest chick alive, Gwen Stefani! Pics below ...

In her new, pathetic reality show, Paris Hilton is searching for a new best friend.

This useless socialite won't find it, however, if she keeps ganking outfits from other, more fashionable celebrities.

In the match-up below, Hilton and Gwen Stefani are wearing the same Diane von Furstenberg dress. Study them carefully and let us know:

Who looks better?

Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second child – a baby boy named Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale – at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. Thursday, a rep for the couple confirms. Congrats to Gavin and Gwen!

"Mother, baby and family are all happy and healthy," the rep said.

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, who we've known as Gwen Stefani's baby bump for months, was born at 12:46 p.m. PST, and weighed in at 8.5 pounds.

Stefani, 38, and Gavin Rossdale, 40 — who wed in in London in 2002 — welcomed son Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, back in May 2006.

We know how Kingston turned out. If that's any indication, Zuma will surely be one of the cutest celebrity babies ever! What a sweet family.

Seriously, how does she even walk around with that thing? Kingston Rossdale had better start working out, for his unborn sibling is going to start kicking his ass in a matter of weeks, from the looks of this photo ...

A pregnant Gwen Stefani is just about ready to burst.

Gwen Stefani is known as a trend-setter, a fashion maven, a stylish role model.

We're big fans of the singer, but if the next trend will be gigantic, colorful sunglasses, we hope it's one that doesn't get firmly set on society.

Study the shades on Stefani below and let us know what you think of them:

Gwen Stefani sports the latest in ugly eyewear.

We hope you don't mind how many photos we've posted of Gwen Stefani and her family.

But when Kingston Rossdale in this adorable, how can anyone mind?!?

Another baby will be added to the brood any month now. You didn't think Stefani was just getting fat, did you?

Now that Jessica Alba has given birth, the club of knocked up celebrities has lost one its better looking members.

Still, a number of beauties are expecting kids over the next few months. Leading the charge? Matthew McConaughey's underrated girlfriend, Camila Alves.
