Next Celebrity Home Birth: Selma Blair

Bump Watch 2011!   Guess who is still pregnant?   Celebrity Selma Blair, who I honestly thought was due before me, but I guess not!

I was watching and waiting for her and Pink to pop before I did, but they are still holding in, and our daughter is almost a week old!

But this week I learned a new neat piece of information about Selma Blair and her plans for her birth. She is planning to give birth at home!   Another in a recently growing list of celebrities opting for out of hospital deliveries, which most recently even includes Owen Wilson.

Blair was spotted this week in Studio City leaving a home birth service office after what we can only assume was a prenatal care appointment.

Blair is due any time with her first baby with boyfriend Jason Bleick.

The couple has also decided to keep the gender of the baby a surprise until birth. Any guesses?  I say a little boy!   It seems like there has been a huge boom of little boys recently, heck my daughter was one of the only females delivered while I stayed in the hospital!

I am excited to hear about, and read about Selmas home birth!

Sole Collector Celebrity Sneaker Watch

If there's one thing I've noticed while putting together these posts, it's that the Air Jordan III is quite easily the shoe I see most frequently. However, that doesn't come as too much of a surprise, considering the long-term popularity of the model. In today's Celebrity Sneaker Watch, we see the elephant-printed classic on the feet of four celebrities, including DJ Khaled's new album cover. Diddy has been wearing a lot of Jumpman lately, while Soulja Boy Tell 'Em is going the Supra Footwear route. Smoke DZA is apparently a big fan of green and Kanye West can't stop wearing the Air Yeezy 2.

Check out all of these kicks and more in this installment of Sole Collector Celebrity Sneaker Watch.

::BREAKING NEWS::

 Were chucking out the old and bringing in new blood people… after Ady’s flight to Moscow (BAD breakup!), Eve’s embezzlement charges, Pebe’s drunken brawl at Buddha Bar, I, Sean have decided to … lets say… remove them!
They will still be a part of FETCH, as guest writers along with Marius who’s currently having a scandalous affair with his literature professor *sigh* and George will continue to do his thing but as I said before were bring in the newbies!

Another 90210-er may be making a stop in the Twilight zone.
I'm hearing that filmmakers have been considering the idea of casting 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming New Moon, the much-anticipated sequel to Twilight.
Heidi isn't a major character in the book, but McCord definitely has the gorgeous looks to pull it off.
The character is a "fisher" who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She's also known as "bait" because of the way she uses her stunning looks to attract humans. In her brief appearance in the book, Bella describes Heidi as having "exceptional, unforgettable" beauty. She has stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes.
Sources tell me McCord has auditioned for the role. "It's not a big part," one of the sources said. "Heidi would be more like a cameo."
McCord should feel pretty comfortable on the set. Her 90210 costar Kellan Lutz—and rumored real-life boyfriend—played Emmett in Twilight and will return for the sequel.
McCord's rep did not immediately comment nor did a rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment.
Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting the flick with Robert Pattinson & Co. next month in Vancouver and Italy with a Nov. 20 release date. Summit has yet to make any major new casting announcements for New Moon. However, as I exclusively reported, Dakota Fanning is in serious talks to play Jane.

Celebrity Watch Spotting: Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side"

I still haven't seen "The Blind Side" yet, but it's on my list for holiday movies. I love stories like these and I remember hearing about this when I lived in Texas. It sounds like a great heart warming and inspiring movie for the Holiday's.

On the watch related side, there's been a lot of buzz about the white wrist watch Sandra Bullock wears in the movie.

We're not totally sure of the watch, but we have a few ideas and a few pics from the movie stills. It looks like a version of the Chanel J12 Automatic to me.

Oversized watches for undersized wrists

                                                    

I wore a watch even before I knew how to tell time.

Strawberry Shortcake looked sweeter than her name implied on my wrist, and that was all that mattered. Once I mastered telling the big hand from the little hand, Mickey Mouse trumped Shortcake, then some nameless girl with pigtails followed, Betty Boop, a big Flava Flav like backpack with a big clock on the back, a Swatch here and there, and now I'm finally all grown up and ready for some big girl watches.

The most multi-functional of accessories, watches clue you in on the time and sometimes the date, all while making a bling'ed out fashion statement. Never a fan of digital watches, I'm all about the Swiss movement. Celebs love their watches too, just take a look at Jaime King, Sophia Bush, Kristen Bell and Hayden Panetierre at a recent launch party for A/X Watches in Los Angeles. Looks like they're having a time.

My brother gave my Dad a sweet designer men's watch from Fossil for Father's Day, and it reminded me how much I love the look of a big, chunky men's watch on a small dainty, feminine wrist. Here is a quartet of my favorite stylish timepieces for summer...I'm sure the ladies above would approve.

Casio is making a big SPLASH in the hip-hop world with the Bape G-Shock.

Among the forefront of G-Shock ambassadors is the one and only Kayne West. Not many people can get away with sporting all white or all pink watches, but Kayne certainly pulls it off with style


Casio makes some of the toughest watches around. Checkout our post on the G-Shock Toughness Tests and you'll see what I mean. Besides their unique style and coloring, G-Shocks can take a licking and keep on ticking. A good mix of style and quality that will last.

Precision Time is an authorized Casio dealer and carries a wide line of G-Shock watches.
