As she received an advocacy award from the Hope for Depression Foundation in Manhattan on Monday Brooke Shields spoke about her own very sad experience with postpartum depression.

She said, “We think and we feel that we should just be able to handle it on our own I’ve always been strong enough to get through every single difficult situation in my life. I grew up in an addictive household. My mother [Teri] had acute alcoholism. It’s in my blood. I was never going to be the one to succumb to it.”

Brooke, mom to Rowan, 7, and Grier, 3, explained that she suffered from the disease after a miscarriage and 7 IVF attempts before Grier came along.

She revealed, “I finally had a healthy beautiful baby girl and I couldn’t look at her. I couldn’t hold her and I couldn’t sing to her and I couldn’t smile at her … All I wanted to do was disappear and die.”

Luckily, Brooke got the help she needed to understand what she was going through and to get past it. She’s an incredible advocate!

Rebecca Gayheart has kept mum for months as her burgeoning belly became the elephant in the room, but she’s not keeping quiet anymore!

She finally shared with In Touch that she and hottie hubby Eric Dane are expecting their first child together. She said they are “absolutely looking forward” to becoming parents.

She said, “We’ve always wanted to be parents.I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad, and hopefully I’ll be a good mom.”

She’s having a great pregnancy and taking care of herself (and baby!) by eating right and exercising via yoga and walks on the beach.

She added, “I’m having a great, great time right now and loving my life.”

Rebecca is due in the spring.

A three-months pregnant Paula Patton appeared on The Tyra Show on Friday and admitted that she cannot wait to find out the sex of her baby (with hubby Robin Thicke).

She told the host, “The next doctor visit I find out, so we’re excited.”

As for how many children she wants to have, Paula said, “Two would be good for me. If I could have twins — a boy and a girl — I’d be done!”

But how about Robin? If it were up to him, according to Paula, he’d keep going! Paula said, “He would have five, but you know how men are…I’m like, ‘That’s gonna be with someone else, baby! That’s not gonna be with me!’”

They seem like such a cute couple!

In the December issue of Women’s Health, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who is celebrating her son’s  first birthday this week,  talks about how motherhood and marriage have changed her.

She revealed, “Pete and Bronx come first. It has humbled me. I believe in letting life happen. There’s good, there’s bad, and then there’s great. If you learn from those things, you grow. I’ve really done a lot for 25, and there’s still a lot to come.”

Even during pregnancy, she said she was “the most calm I’d ever been in my life,” and she didn’t stress about losing her baby weight either (she gained 50 pounds).

Of that, she said, “I wasn’t in a rush to get back to this body for anyone else. It was more like, ‘I wanna look good [for me]. I wanna feel good.’”

Her advice to other moms and women out there? “[W]hat defines sexy is not someone’s weight.” We agree!

Joey Lawrence (perhaps most famous for his role on Blossom, but who more recently appeared on Dancing with the Stars) and his wife Chandi Yawn-Nelson are set to welcome their second daughter on April 3rd, according to PEOPLE.

Joey shared the news with PEOPLE exclusively and joked, “I am Estrogen Man. I’m from a family of all boys, and when I told my best friend Dave that my wife and I were having a second girl, he said, ‘Look at you, my best buddy Estrogen Man!’” Joey and Chandi’s daughter Charleston is 3 1/2.

And they already have a name for baby girl No. 2: Liberty Grace. Joey said the first name is one he’s “always loved,” and the middle named is in honir of his grandmother, who recently passed away.

We hope Chandi has a great pregnancy.
