Nicole Richie is IN LABOR. Send some push vibes over to Cedars Sinai hospital...which is also where Christina Aguilera might be having her baby right now! Sources are reporting that she entered Cedars last night, but no news of spawn just yet. • Jamie Lynn Spears's rep claims that In Touch was off the mark when it published a story that sperminator Casey Aldridge dumped her. "They are still together and he has not asked for a paternity test," a Spears crony tells Us. [Us, ONTD, Us]

Love the title of the post ("Loose Lips"). You Jezebel editors should be ashmaed of yourselves!
I realize I'm super lame for knowing this, but wasn't Nicole Richie supposed to have a c-section? I don't know how this whole labor thing works, but does she have to push now or can she still get one? Why do I care? So many questions...
@langtry: Ewwww! Just got that...long day and I'm sloooow.
WOO baabies!
*hormones out of control naturally*
Gosh, my pregnancies lasted like FOREVER but theirs are over in an instance. How dat?
If that woman is actually pushing out that baby, I will be flummoxed.
Isn't that the hospital where Dennis Quaid's kids were given the wrong meds and ended up in baby ICU?
My sister had a baby yesterday. Must be in the air.
All the best to you Nic and Chris!
paternity test???? oh, mama spears. epic fail.
I want to see Xtina with a baby sling.
Is anyone besides me skeeved out that there might be a question of ASKING for a paternity test for a 16 year old kid?
Cedars Sinai! Did no one tell her about Dennis Quad and Britney Spears' experiences? Or is this a status quo hospital, like Promises Malibu?
Please please please don't let her lose any more than ten pounds of that baby weight! She's so pretty and healthy right now, and I'll have to go back to hating her if she becomes a skeletor again.
@hamsterpants: Not so much skeeved as questioning the "father's" naivity.
My money is on Nicole for picking out the more pretentious and cringe inducingly stoopid name for her child. Something like Paxton Seaweed.
@amandahugnkiss: 'Tis okay - it's Friday! Now or later, laughs are always appreciated, aren't they?
@hamsterpants: Skeeved is a good description... YES!
Wow. Why is she getting a c-section, again? Nothing like setting up your planned c-section only to have your baby make other plans.
Best wishes to both of them.
The lawyer in me is saying that hell yes, he should ask for a paternity test, especially in light of the rumors that it's not his. But the lawyer in me is a heinously raving bitch who trusts practically no one.
Actually, that might just be me.
@amandahugnkiss: I think CA scheduled a C-section.
@amandahugnkiss: My boyfriend's mother has told me how after he decided to come out ass-first and with an umbilicle cord wrapped around his neck, the doctors pushed him back up and then did a C-section. It's doable, but probably as a last-resort type of procedure.
Also, gross that I know all of this - right?
Thanks paps for letting us know where our celeb-u-tards are heading in real time!
Is it like a rule, that if you're a celeb you have a pre-scheduled C-section at Cedars-Sinai?
@PantyWaist: when you're anorexic and don't get your period anyway you can be pregnant a long time before knowing it?
OOooo. Another human woman births a baby. Amazing! Can you read my sarcasm?
@ArmCandy: Wow! I was born with the cord around my neck and my sister was born ass-backwards and we both were just kind of yanked out of there. Having a baby shoved back in reminds me of that "South Park" where Cartman shoots the satellite out of his ass, then the scientist pushes a button and it gets sucked back in. Ouch.
@Archetype: do you mean C*A*A?
Sorry, Christina Aguilera. I was being lazy.
Too Posh to Push!
Oh...wait..that was Posh...
*ducks*
@amandahugnkiss: reminds me of an episode on ER. when they shoved the baby back in I think I screamed at at the TV, "you can't do that! can you? oh god, I hope not" then I crawled under a table and curled in a ball.
if they're not having c-section, one word: episiotomy.
@ArmCandy: Status quo hospital. When Jackie Collins' characters have heart attacks and OD, that's where they're rushed.
(Don't judge! 'cause I know that.)
@PantyWaist: haha I thought the exact opposite. According to my calculations Nicole Richie has been pregnant for at least 17 months.
Apparently they had a girl and named her Harlow. I can't decide if I think it's adorable or annoying.
@funnyface: I'm going with it's a good name. Not traditional but not weird.
e@funnyface: all kinds of wrong- for me at least. when i think Harlow- i some how thing Ho.
dunno why- and she has like 7 names.
christina had her "citrus fruit" (to quote michael k) too.
@sirsnarksalot:
harlow winter kate madden, according to people.
it COULD be worse.
but it's still kinda...yikes.
Yup...Harlow Winter Kate Madden (I think). I like Harlow, but Winter? Really...because it's winter? They probably think they're very clever. Kate, however, is the most beautiful name there is :)
I think Harlow is kind of pretty. Could so easily be Harlot, however, in the schoolyard.
@Trixie from Toronto: do kids use the word harlot these days? Maybe in college! Not that these folks go to college. Or finish high school, for that matter.
Its cool all these folks are having their babies today. Stella Mucca yesterday. And Toni Collette today. Allegedly Christina had the baby, just no announcement yet.
I was doing the same thing 17 years ago--Jan 11. My kid turned out awesome. Good luck to them all.
They're popping out babies all over the Wood - David Alan Grier's wife, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Aguilera, and Nicole Ritchie. The maternity wards are hopping at Cedars-Sinai!
Ritchie and Madden take the strange name award with Harlow Winter, but Harlow is a beautiful name. Grier takes it for weirdly wonderful with Luisa Danbi - Danbi meaning "sweet rain" in Korean. Of course, that's without knowing what Aguilera named hers. Thorne-Smith's got the most normal with Jacob Emerson.
Whatever happened to normal celebrity baby names like Moon Unit and Dweezil Zappa? Wait, was Frank Zappa a celebrity? Maybe my dad is the only person that liked him...
Le sigh. Nicole Ritchie stole one of my baby names.
@Miss_Sarah: My dad liked him too. He wanted to name me Zeta Moon. My mom won out with the ubiquitous Sarah.
@QueenCanada: Dangit! Nicole used the name I wanted for my next dog! Gah! Now people will think I copied. ::pouts::
I think this XML schema needs work
At 6lbs, 7oz, that's not that far off from what Nicole weighed before she got sperminated (ba da bum!)
But seriously, folks, unless he gets her act together concerning her own weight, I'm very worried about the habits she'll be passing onto that little girl.
I fear that Harlow will only add to the inevitable playground teasing this little girl is bound to get. Despite the lack of originality, I do like the Winter Kate part--cute!
Didn't Patrica Arquette already name one of her kids Harlow? It's kind of weird, yet unoriginal.
@hamsterpants: @gerbilsinlove: Seems there may have been some hanky panky with a producer [www.crazydaysandnights.net]
This guy sounds like a real piece of work too. Ewwww!
[www.crazydaysandnights.net]
Oh and the boyfriend...[www.crazydaysandnights.net]
Ah, who the hell knows? 16 is just too young in my book, regardless.
Um....is it just me, or did 9 months fly by that quick??
i just read that christina had a boy.
[afp.google.com]
This might be crap, but it bugs when women who aren't married & haven't yet taken the man's name give a baby the man's last name. Which is a huge point of conflict here on Jez in the first place.
Was Nic always a Richie? Maybe one of those half dozen names was an old name of hers.
Anyway, that always bugs me. I feel like damn, lady, you had a bun in yr oven for months. Give yourself some credit.
christina naming her son max instead of maxwell stirs up a stupid pet peeve of mine that hates it when parents name their children nicknames (i.e. jenny, katie, max, sam, etc.) my sister kate has had to spend a significent time of her existence explaining to people that her name isn't short for katherine/kathleen/kaitlin.
@bess marvin, girl detective: Max is a Latin one for greatest and in Latin America is not treated as a shorter version of Maxwell or Maximillian. A bit like Sandra is supposedly a shorter version of Alexandra but in LA is a completely different name. Neither of them are nicknames.
