Baby Watch

Kourtney Kardashian was set on a natural water birth until a few days ago when she witnessed one first hand ... and now when her water breaks she's making a beeline for Cedars ... TMZ has learned.

Our Kardashian sources tell us ... Kourtney and baby daddy Scott Disick heard water birth is better for the baby because it's a less shocking transition from the womb. Water births are often done without administering drugs ... which some experts believe is also safer for baby and mom.

Kourtney has a friend who gave birth a few days ago and she allowed Kim's sis to witness the blessed event. So Kourtney was ringside when the mother screamed like a mutha as she reared back and pushed in a tub of water.

Kourtney told friends it was "horrific" ... "looked brutally painful" -- and that was all she wrote.

So KK has decided to give birth Beyonce/Jessica Simpson style -- in a mega-suite at a fancy hospital.

Kourtney, who is due any day, will deliver her baby epidural style at Cedars-Sinai. And speaking of deliveries, Jerry's Deli is right across the street.

Pastrami on rye ... hold the water.

Just because she's carrying an unborn baby inside her and not downing tequila shots doesn't mean anything has changed for Snooki ... as the pint-sized mother-to-be once again stumbled to the ground in Seaside Heights on Thursday.

Rockin' a pair of maternity platform sandals, the unmarried "Jersey Shore" star lost her footing and took a sober tumble on to the sidewalk yesterday. Luckily, she was uninjured, quickly got up and went on her non-alcoholic merry way.

George Clooney's GF Stacy Keibler just proved there IS something inside her belly ... six pack abs!

While rumors have been going wild over whether Stacy has a baby bump or not, the 32-year-old just tweeted a pic of her sweaty, gorgeous, ripped, flat stomach during a workout in Italy on Wednesday.

Besides the toned tummy proof, sources close to Keibler are scoffing at the suggestion she's with child ... telling TMZ the rumors are "100% false."

With her adorable puppy in tow, Nick Lachey's second wife Vanessa Lachey did her best Jessica Simpson and showed off her bulging baby bump as she left some hoity toity pet spa in L.A. on Monday.

Rockin' some maternity workout wear, the 31-year-old looks to be keeping fit during her pregnancy.

Vanessa is due at the end of the summer with her first child with hubby Nick.

The world will continue to wait for a baby Clooney ... because Stacy Keibler is NOT with child.

The rumor mill began to churn after photos surfaced showing Stacy on a boat in Lake Como this weekend ... sporting what people have interpreted as a baby bump.

But sources connected to The Keib tell us ... the rumors are "100% FALSE."

Plus, Stacy was seen drinking wine with George and friends last night -- not concrete proof ... but a pretty good sign there's no baby on board.

A rep for Stacy had no comment on the situation.

Perhaps too pregnant to deal with the arduous task of walking, Snooki rode an electric scooter around Seaside Heights with fellow "Jersey Shore" cast member Deena, who managed to not get arrested during the outing.

Khloe Kardashian wants a baby bad, and we've learned she's undergoing fertility treatment.

Sources connected with Khloe and Lamar Odom tell TMZ ... they have tried in vain for months to get pregnant. So Khloe went to ART Reproductive Center in Bev Hills Monday ... to start the process.

With Kim Kardashian by her side for moral support, Khloe gave up some blood so the docs could evaluate her hormone levels. She's waiting for the results, and will then get a stylized treatment program.

Our sources say fertility treatment has been a long time coming -- they were going to start the process while living in Dallas, but distractions with Lamar's BB career put everything on ice.

It's been months since she revealed she's carrying a little guido inside her, but Snooki's bulging baby bump at long last made an appearance through her t-shirt in Seaside Heights on Tuesday.

With the "Jersey Shore" back filming for the summer, Snooki's plus one could be ready for his first GTL closeup in the very near future.

The 24-year-old mom-to-be -- officially belly up.

Snooki isn't taking any chances filming "Jersey Shore" this season with her unborn child -- moving into a shack of her own yesterday ... RIGHT NEXT DOOR to her old stomping grounds.

TMZ broke the story ... the mama-to-be is taking her pregnancy extremely seriously, choosing to live next to the "Shore" house rather than in it because of her loud, boozy ex-roommates.

But Snooki isn't moving far -- in fact, her old digs are mere feet away from her new parenting pad ... a cozy single-family home directly adjacent to the "Shore" house that rents for about $2,000 a month.

Snooki announced she was knocked up in February, and could pop while they shoot Season 6 -- so she wants to be prepared.

As for other big changes this season -- Situation's sober!!! Get ready for an exciting summer.

The male goombas of the "Jersey Shore" cast continued their integration back into the wilds of Seaside Heights by riding a roller coaster on the boardwalk this weekend ... perhaps the only instance anyone will be seen getting high this season.

Mother-to-be Snooki, thank God, did not partake in the ride ... choosing to soberly walk the streets with her fiancé/baby daddy instead.

As TMZ first reported, with Snooki pregnant and The Situation on the wagon ... the gang enjoyed their first night at a bar, but no one touched a drop of alcohol.

Snooki is no stranger to losing her balance and falling on the floor, but this time alcohol wasn't what caused her to almost bite it ... it was her huge platform wedge heels.

While arriving with all her crap to the infamous Seaside Heights crib -- where she won't be living this season -- the pregnant "Jersey Shore" star lost her footing, but luckily recovered avoiding any sort of injury to herself or her unborn baby.

Jessica Simpson is now getting paid for being fat -- the singer just announced ... she's the newest spokesperson for Weight Watchers.

Jessica made the announcement moments ago on her Twitter, writing, "So excited to be a part of the @WeightWatchers family!'

Jess don't come cheap neither -- the Weight Watchers deal is reportedly worth $4 MILLION.

The singer reportedly gained 65-75 POUNDS during her recent pregnancy -- and Weight Watchers must be waiting for a big reveal ... because Jessica hasn't been photographed in public since she gave birth.

WW also released a statement, saying, "We’re thrilled that Jessica Simpson has chosen to join Weight Watchers to adopt a healthier lifestyle and inspire others to do the same."

Season 6 of "Jersey Shore" just dropped another major bomb, TMZ has learned ... Snooki will NOT be shacking up with her fellow castmates this summer -- instead getting her own private nest nearby.

Sources tell us ... the mama-to-be is taking her pregnancy very seriously, choosing to live NEAR the "Shore" house rather than IN it because it's not worth it to be surrounded by boozy, loud roommates while pregnant.

If you recall, Snooki announced she was knocked-up in February -- when she was already 3 months along -- which means while filming this summer she'll be in prime popping position ... all the more reason to have a pad of her own.

The guidette's absence is just another in a slew of "Shore" changes this year ... which includes a sober Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (who just got out of rehab) and the possibility of adding a Snooki-baby to the cast.

It's shaping up to be the most boring BEST season ever!

Rachel Uchitel really is a mother -- she gave gave birth to a healthy baby girl Tuesday evening in San Francisco.

TMZ's learned Rachel and husband Matt Hahn welcomed their daughter -- 7lbs. 1oz. -- at 5:04PM PT.

Just a couple weeks ago, the 37-year old former Tiger Woods mistress one-upped Demi Moore's famous Vanity Fair cover by posing in a sheer sheet ... and while flashing a thong.

Four months after giving birth, "The Help" star Bryce Dallas Howard was spotted exercising her post-pregnancy legs on a walk with her adorable baby daughter Beatrice in L.A. this weekend.

The 31-year-old -- who also has a 5-year-old son with hubby Seth Gabel -- kept it casual on her mother-daughter afternoon excursion in a pair of comfy sweats and slippers.

Bryce -- who's currently nominated for an MTV Movie Award for "Best On-Screen Dirtbag" -- knows raising two kids is a total workout.

Miami Heat superstar Chris Bosh has a NEW biggest fan ... his brand new baby boy ... who cheered on his famous dad from his hospital room yesterday ... just HOURS after he was born.

Bosh had a helluva Thursday ... with his wife Adrienne giving birth to little Jackson Bosh around 3 AM ... and then having to play in the NBA playoffs against the NY Knicks.

But Bosh made it happen -- hopping on a private jet in Florida and arriving over to Madison Square Garden an hour before the game.

With his son decked out in custom Heat gear ... Chris scored 9 points in the win over the Knicks ... and then hopped BACK on the jet to return to his family ... completing a 2,200 mile round trip in less than 24 hours.
