Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Hit the Trading Post

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Hit the Trading Post

While celebrities are usually spotted checking out high-end boutiques and expensive department stores, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentzwere all about being frugal yesterday (July 6).

The newlywed parents-to-be were spotted strolling around the Melrose Trading Post held at Fairfax High School, holding hands while looking for bargains.

Looking more pregnant every day, the “Little Miss Obsessive” songstress sported a black maternity tank top and a long black skirt, while her Fall Out Boy hubby stuck to his usual black t-shirt and jeans topped off with a black fedora.

Following their retail jaunt, Pete and Ashlee headed over to Toast Restaurant in Los Angeles to meet a girlfriend for lunch.  At one point, Mr. Wentz took off to give the ladies some time for girl talk.

Matthew McConaughey: It’s a Boy!

Matthew McConaughey is a proud new pop. (Although someone should probably tell him that all new babies arrive sans shirt.)

The ab-fab actor and his girlfriend, Brazilian model Camila Alves, welcomed a 7-pound, 4-ounce boy, their first child together, Monday evening, News confirms.

The youngster was born at 6:44 p.m., according to McConaughey’s rep.

But while this may cut into the Texan’s time for sojourns to Nicaragua and lazy days on the beach with Lance, the Sahara star sounds more than ready to embrace daddyhood.

“A healthy baby boy was born,” McConaughey said tonight in a statement to OK! magazine.

“Camila and I were side by side the entire time. We are both tired and elated, and are so happy to have created the greatest miracle in the worldhaving a child and making a family. Now comes the greatest adventureraising one, together.”

McConaughey first spread the good news of Alva’s expectant status on his reggae-playing website.

“My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together,” McConaughey blogged in January.

“It’s 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far. We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life.”

McConaughey’s mother added her own rapturous comments to the site a few days later:  “Just when I think life cannot get any ’SWEETER,’ Matthew and Camila fill life with more…so here I am DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER, BECAUSE MY CUP IS INDEED OVERFLOWING WITH THIS NEW BABY,” she wrote.

The child’s name has not yet been released.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy: Too Close?

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy: Too Close?

It’s always cute to see a girl sporting her man’s clothes, but the reverse situation can be a little creepy, as evidenced by Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy’s switch-up yesterday.

The “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” funnyman and his longtime blonde babe girlfriend were spotted strolling along the Malibu beach on the Fourth of July looking very much in love.

But when they returned to their beach house, things went awry, as Carrey re-emerged with a very noticeable change in ensemble, reminiscent of Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” character. 

The paparazzi and beach goers alike laughed hysterically at the comedian’s antics, making yesterday’s Independence Day holiday one to remember.

Showing off her baby bump in a snug grey top, Gwen Stefani accompanied hubby Gavin Rossdale to watch a tennis semi-final at Wimbledon in London on Friday (July 4).

The “Hollaback Girl” singer and her man sat alongside tennis great Roger Federer’s girlfriend, Mirka Vavrinec - with all three watching intently as Roger rolled through Marat Safin in straight sets to reach his sixth consecutive Wimbledon final.

According to AP reports, “Federer left Safin shaking his head in bewilderment as he switched on cruise control to clinch his 6-3 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 victory in just one hour and 41 minutes and make Sunday’s final without dropping a set.”

Besides checking out the tennis tournament, Stefani recently spoke to Look magazine about life in general, telling: “I’ve already accomplished everything I originally wanted to. Most of my dreams have come true. What has changed is that at this point in my life I also have the comfort that comes from knowing I’m making a family and that there’s a different meaning to my work. It’s a little more special now.”

She and Rossdale are expecting their second child together next month.
