Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Jessica Alba - all of them are expecting. Christina Aguilera and Nicole Ritchie just popped some out. They’re glowing. They’re beautiful. They manage to lose the weight instantly after they give birth. That’s wonderful. But I am burnt out over A-list pregnancies.

People get pregnant every day. I just saw a pregnant woman in a Juicy Couture tracksuit the other day - but it’s not like I am peeing in my pants out of excitement. Sure, she isn’t a celebrity, but you get my point.

I am not depriving their privilege of bearing a child. It’s a human right. I am proud of them. It shows that they’re human. But c’mon - do we have to keep track of every single moment of a celebrity’s gestation period? I can handle an announcement of a pregnancy alright - but to be hit over the head with all these updates of star studded pregnancies is just jarring (click here for proof.)

Just announce the pregnancy and then the birth. That’s all we need to know.

Glossy magazine covers for this month are SMOKIN’ HOT!

A very pregnant Christina Aguilera graces the cover of Marie Claire this month a la Demi Moore - and it has just the right amount of “Dirrrty.” That jacket is very flattering for any pregnant lady who walks around naked.

I am so proud of X-tina, as opposed to her fellow Mouseketeer alumni Britney…click here to read her latest news. Apparently, she is NOT pregnant. Or is she? Who knows - I think the world is jaded by her antics. Just leave her alone and then maybe she’ll stop acting so crazy.

But who cares? X-tina is pregnant and still HOT!

Celebrities Christina Aguilera, Sharon Stone, Courtney Cox and Jessica Alba will all be making an appearance at the W Hotel in San Francisco on Oct. 19 - but it may not be exactly what you think. A-listers have donated and autographed their luxe purses for Breast Cancer Emergency Fund’s 3rd Annual This Old Bag: The Power of the Purse.

Presented by Kaiser Permanente, the event will feature over 200 designer and celebrity-donated handbags that will be up for auction. Fashionistas and celebrity fanatics will have the opportunity to walk out the door with a bag that someone like Vanessa Williams used.

In addition to the aforementioned names, the list of bags reads like a red carpet roster: Brooke Shields, Naomi Campbell, Minnie Driver, Christina Applegate and the list goes on.

In the past, the event carried baggage from those domestic divas on “Desperate Housewives,” a handbag from comedian Kathy Griffin and even a purse from the queen herself, Oprah Winfrey. Last year’s event raised $105,000 and with the looks of the purse roster this year, they may be on their way of surpassing that amount.

All the proceeds from the reception and auction will fund BCEF’s program of providing emergency financial assistance to women with breast cancer who are too sick to work.

“Of all the fundraisers I have been involved with, this is the most timely and most important. BCEF helps women in crisis,” said event co-chair Bella ‘Queen of Nob Hill’ Farrow. “Who doesn’t need one more handbag, especially if it helps a good cause?”

The event combines fashion and philanthropy in the funnest way, but if the purse included the amount of money each celebrity made in a year - that is a whole different ball game.

I think that their next project should be “Celebrity Wallets and Murses” for all of us fashion-hungry guys. I would be all over that. Imagine what Brad Pitt’s wallet would look like - or better yet, what about Pete Dougherty? I shudder to think.

The event is from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the W Hotel, 181 3rd St., San Francisco. Tickets are $125 and are available at www.ThisOldBag.org or by calling 415-558-6999 ext 8.

It’s nice to see Christina Aguilera come out of the woodwork to come perform at the Emmys with legend Tony Bennett. Since the confirmed pregnancy, it seems like X-tina looks more beautiful than ever as she keeps in line with her classic “Back to Basics” look. She’s uses her new addition to her body with a flattering gown that gives her that glow that everybody talks about - but I’m not too sure about that ribbon in the front. Let’s just be glad she didn’t bring back those buttless chaps.

Here’s the best (and worst) of fashion and pop culture news from the week of July 2, 2007….

Kelly Clarkson’s new CD My December has been getting a beating from critics, but in all honesty, it is NOT that bad. Sure, it may not be good as Breakaway, but give the girl a break. Perhaps people are focusing too much on what’s been going on with the politics of her artistic integrity. Nonetheless…the girl can sing and she looks FABULOUS in that crimson dress on the cover:

Available at Amazon.com for $9.99

Christina Aguilera sure loves her Christian Louboutins. I think it has to be the only pairs of shoes she owns. Check out all the red soled action in all these pics:

She should be the poster child for these fabulous shoes - not like that would be a bad thing. I just wish they would make some red-soled goodies for men.

She even goes as far to wear them in her latest USO themed, sure-to-cure-your-sweet-tooth video, Candyman:

I wonder if she actually has to pay for all these shoes. Or if they are just given to her. Either way, one pair is the equivalent to one paycheck for me - but I GUESS they are worth it. I only say that because I HEART CHRISTINA.

It’s official – with all of the Grammys she snagged last night, Mary J. Blige is the queen of R & B. I am so in love with her – and she shimmered in this Michael Kors gown cinched with a elegantly sporty wide belt – and I think the tattoos give her that “Blige” attitude that we have all grown to love.

Ok, I’ll be honest. I do not like Christina Ricci as an actress – but I hope her upcoming film Black Snake Moan will change all that. She did, however, garner extra points with me last night. I absolutely ADORE this gown she wore on the red carpet. The print is whimsically appropriate and the draping train flatters her petite figure. Well done Wednesday Addams.

Soft-spoken songstress, Corrine Bailey Rae showed up in a simple strapless dress – shimmering with all the angelic pleasure associated with her voice.

I swear, if I hear that song, “The Hips Don’t Lie” one more time – I am going to bore my eyes out – but if I did that, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy this lovely Carolina Herrera gown that Shakira wore as she belly danced her way down the red carpet.

Pink wore this keyhole number by Herve Leger. I like the dress, but her little faux-hawk thing murders the femininity of the entire look. It looks like she’s about to kick some ass in this dress – but I guess if she’s going for that tough femme look – then it works. And if Pink is actually reading this – please, don’t beat me up for criticizing your dress.

Wow. There’s finally another American Idol who has won a Grammy – but Kelly is still my favorite. Nonetheless, Carrie Underwood was an absolute knockout in this nude-colored Badgley Mischka. It doesn’t matter that I don’t know a single song by her (except for that rendition of Heart’s “Alone” she did whilst in A.I. competition – I have that on repeat on my iPod) – all that matters is that she looked SO sexy in this gown.

Yeah, yeah, yeah…you bought sexy back – big deal. I really liked the song the first time I heard it. Then the second time I was still bobbing my head – then by the hundredth time, it sounded like a droning synthesizer demo of a wannabe Prince track – but I digress. Despite my scathing commentary on the overplayed SexyBack, I like Justin Timberlake’s cleaned up sleek, Euro, “I am a serious artist” look – but I am growing tired of the whole vest trend (even though I have a couple). This gray Prada suit is something I would definitely steal from J.T. if I were his personal assistant.

Ummm. Ok. This is like some freaky “Eyes Wide Shut” kind of fashion. I would like personally thank OK Go for giving me nightmare material.

Ooooh girl! Mandy Moore be lookin’ a little rough! She ,may look like she just rolled out of bed, but the dress, despite some Mrs. Roper qualities, is fairly decent.

It’s rare that I see gentleman standout on the red carpet. When they do, I get really excited because it’s really appreciative when these male celebrities look like they put thought into their wardrobe - Ludacris being one of them. He looks positively dashing in this three-piece Yves Saint Laurent suit. I especially like the wide-leg trouser, which are wide, but not too wide. The splash of color via the pocket square and tie is a great way to change the male red carpet color palette of black and white.

I love the music of Imogen Heap- but there is no excuse for this crack-induced Mary Poppins get up she wore on the red carpet. None at all.

Ciara looked really adorable in this Roberto Cavalli baby doll dress – and when I say adorable, I don’t mean it in a “gag-inducing girly” kind of way – I’m saying it within in the context of “youthful, elegant and fresh” – and those shoes! Those are definitely a pair of “GOODIES.”

And the winner for look of the evening is…Christina Aguilera! Ever since she traded in her buttless chaps for vamping Hollywood glam gowns, she has impressed me over and over again. She has truly transcended the boundaries of a popstar and is nothing but BEAUTIFUL in this Ungaro gown. Even so, her new look has gotten me a little bit scared. For her next image metamorphosis, will she do another 180 and go back to her “dirrrty” ways? One can only guess. But whatever - I am an Xtina-ite till the day I die.
