There must have been a lot of twinkles in celebrities eyes over the last few months as this week we are delighted to hear of not one, not two, not three but four pregnancy announcements!

Winning the prize for the most modern way to share this news is Radio One DJ Sara Cox who announced that she is expecting her third child though latest social networking phenomenon, Twitter.

News travels impossibly fast on this virtual super-highway, so let's hope she got round to telling all the family and friends first!

Meanwhile, rumours that Brazilian beauty Gisele and husband Tom Brady are expecting a baby have finally been confirmed with the coupe announcing that their baby is due in December.

Next up, Irish actor Colin Farrell confirmed at the weekend that he is to become a father for the second time. The Dubliner, who starred in black comedy In Bruges, confirmed his actress girlfriend is expecting the couple's first baby.

And finally, England footballer Joe Cole and wife Carly Zucker who were married three months ago, have announced that their 'honeymoon baby' dreams have come true and they are expecting their first baby in six months. Ms Zucker is already sporting a tiny baby bump.

With all these yummy mummys in waiting, we can look forward to plenty more bump-envy in the months ahead, and who knows, if all these parents-to-be catch on to the Twitter craze, we can expect to hear a lot more of the pitter patter of tiny tweets!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What did Mel B do to her daughter's hair? This, Ms B, is not a good look for most people, let alone a two-year-old. And little Angel is not the only celebrity child to fall victim to their scissor happy parents.

Much has been made of the fact that Angel Iris, Mel's second child, has been kept out of the media spotlight. Now we know why. Her mum was waiting for her unsuspecting daughter's hair to grow so she could give her this terrible hairstyle.

Some may call it funky, cute, cool, edgy. Not me. I think it looks absolutely dread-ful (sorry, couldn't resist) and leads me to ask the question, why can't celebrity children be left as children, rather than being turned into fashion statements? Why do celebrity parents insist on using their kids to try and make themselves look cool? I shouldn't think for one minute that Angel requested this style after browsing through several Celebrity Hair magazines. I doubt whether she ran squealing with delight out of the salon, checking her reflection in shop windows as she toddled by.

So we have to ask, just who is this haircut really for? Is Mel afraid of giving herself such a drastic 'do', so is trying it out on her daughter first? Or does she know that Eddie Murphy has a passionate dislike for Mohicans so has done this simply to wind him up?!

Whatever the reason, let's just be thankful that Angel has comedic genes running through her veins. With her mum giving her hairstyles like that at such a tender age, she's certainly going to need a good sense of humour.

Mercy James, the latest addition to Madonna's ever-growing brood, is reportedly settling quickly into her new, celebrity life.

As Madonna continues her Sticky and Sweet tour which will see her play in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Russia, Sweden and many other countries before finishing in Tel Aviv this September (not bad for a fifty year old!), she will be giving little Mercy a crash course in how to be the daughter of a major celebrity.

A struggle from the outset, things now seem to be settling down to normality for 'M and M' - or at least, what will become normality. A fairytale ending, we would imagine, for the little girl who, a month ago, was living a very basic existence in Africa.

In our willingness to believe the Cinderella story, let's not forget that Mercy is still just a four-year-old, whose life has been turned upside down. She is without anything or anyone familiar. In every sense imaginable, her world has changed beyond all recognition. Life doesn't come much plusher than the Ritz Hotel in Paris - Malawi must seem like a very, very long way away.

Whatever Madonna's reasons for fighting so hard to adopt this little girl, we will never really know, but something within her insisted on becoming Mercy's mum. She may have got the job, but it will take a long time and much more than a few fancy hotels for Madonna to become Mercy's mum in the truest sense of the word.

For Madonna and child, let's hope their new life together becomes old and familiar very soon.

So, the Jordan/Katie circus continues.

Not content with disgracing herself in Ibiza, Katie showed up on a night out in London this week.

As a mother, I am at a loss to understand her behaviour. In the middle of such an acrimonious spilt, what has happened to her sense of responsibility to her children? When, exactly, does she see them, apart from for a brief shopping trip in Brighton?

I'm sure this is a terrible time for her, but could someone please, please remind her of the three little children who are stuck in the middle of this whole debacle. Is it really surprising that they are suddenly very clingy? The poor little things are probably desperate for some security and stability.

Katie has, of course, defended her recent antics and insists that she is a good mum saying, "I work hard, I'm a mum, I'm a young woman and I'm going through a split. And I bet you loads of women would do the same."

Oh Katie - how naïve you really are. Actually, 'loads of women' would be much more likely to tough it out at home, put on a brave face and do everything humanly possible to make sure their children felt loved and secure at such a dreadful time for them.

To the general public, Ms Price may, first and foremost, be a celebrity. To her children, she is simply mummy. As she lurches from Katie to Jordan and back again, it remains to be seen whether, at some stage, the mother within also turns up.
