    It's easy to hate people when they send you over-the-top invitations for things like weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and the like. Instead of thinking, Oh this is beautiful! my gut reaction is generally, OK, this is over-the-top and probably costs more money than my monthly rent for the lot of 'em. Which is why my gut reaction is to hate Kim Kardashian AND Kim Kardashian's baby shower invitations. OK, so maybe Kris Jenner is more to blame, because she's hosting the whole shebang along with sisters Kourtney, Khloe, and manager Shelli Azoff.

    Kim's baby shower invitation is a legitimate music box that features a spinning ballerina dancing to a lullaby version of baby-daddy Kanye West's hit song "Hey Mama." For the record, the lullaby is totally adorbs.

    Um, hello -- a music box? A ballerina? I know we have no 100 percent confirmed gender on this Kimye spawn but HELLO -- this shower pretty much screams that it's TOTALLY a girl!

They reported the 21-year-old was expecting her second child -- her first was with ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera, her second will be with husband Javi Marroquin. The reality star has been pretty mum on the subject of her alleged pregnancy, but now, the cat's out of the bag ... Kailyn had her baby shower this weekend!

    I cannot believe it! There are photos of Kate Middleton's baby shower floating around the Internets. There she is, in a fuschia dress, surrounded by Pippa, Camilla, even the Queen and her corgis. Kate holds up a onesie reading "Born to Rule." Why was I not invited?!?

    Oh -- silly me. The photos are actually just a spoof. Photographer Alison Jackson put together some Royal Look-Alikes to pose in a faux shower scene. That explains why everyone is still smiling! Kidding, just kidding. Really though, imagine all the things you wouldn't do if the Queen of England attended your baby shower.

    As lovely as they are, you have to admit that sometimes baby showers get a little boring. I mean you can only ooo and ahh over breast pumps and onesies for so long, right? Jessica Simpson's baby shower this weekend to welcome in her second child, was anything but boring, however, especially when it came to the goodie bags.

    The theme was Tom Sawyer, and by all accounts it was a lovely and grand affair. She threw it for herself, which is unusual for sure, but it's what was inside the goodie bags that may have been a first in baby shower history. They're actually more traditionally found at bachelorette parties than baby showers. Any guesses?

    Some of Jessica Simpson's giftsEvery pregnancy is exciting. Whether it's your first, second, or fifth child, it's cause for a (non-alcoholic) champagne toast. But, is it cause for an elaborate baby shower? Some think so. Jessica Simpson had her second baby shower over the weekend, and while the whole event (yes, it was an event) sounds like it was adorable, was it really necessary?

    Kate Middleton's life may be as royal as they come, but some of the simplest joys seem to allude her. First, she admitted she missed riding the subway. Now comes word that, traditionally, she's not supposed to have a baby shower. Well, screw that! Pippa to the rescue.

    Despite the fact that royal moms-to-be have rarely had showers thrown on their behalf -- neither Queen Elizabeth nor Queen Victoria had showers for their first-borns -- and baby showers aren't even all that common in the U.K., Pippa's taken it upon herself to break with tradition and throw her sister a right royal baby shower! (Maybe to prove she really can plan a party, given her dismal book sales? I kid, I kid!)

    Anyway, as for the shower details ...

    Pregnant Playboy model Holly Madison had her baby shower this weekend in Las Vegas, and in case you didn't get an invite, here are some note-worthy details: The theme was Valentine's Day; Madison sipped on a non-alcoholic drink called the Holly-Go-Lightly; and the mom-to-be didn't receive any gifts. Nope. No presents for baby at all.

    Instead of receiving a never-ending pile of swaddling blankets, burp cloths, and sleep sacks, Holly asked that in lieu of presents, friends and family members make a donation to Baby2Baby, a charity which supplies baby gear to families in need.

    Sweet, right? But what about the friends and family members who really wanted to buy Holly swaddling blankets, burp cloths, and sleep sacks?

    Shakira is the latest celeb to show off a photo of her bare baby belly. She posed in a portrait with her soccer-star boyfriend, Gerard Pique. Oh my, that's going to be one gorgeous baby. But here's what's way more interesting: Shakira also announced that she'll be hosting a virtual baby shower. And it will benefit UNICEF!

    Mosey on over to Shakira and Gerard's interactive online shower and you can purchase "inspired gifts" like a mosquito net, a polio vaccine, and therapeutic food for children all over the world. This is such a sweet idea! And it made me wonder if online showers are a "thing" now. You would think it would be, since so many of us live away from family and loved ones, and since technology makes so much possible. Here are some tips for throwing your own virtual baby shower.

    This past weekend friends and family gathered for the baby shower of Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa. By all accounts (mostly Rose's Twitter account), it was a lovely day to celebrate their son's impending arrival.

    She called it a "good ol down home baby shower." "No Papz, no booshiness just Fun, Friends, Family, Food & Good Times," she tweeted. She also posted a string of pictures that show her wearing a hat made of ribbons from the gifts, and sporting one of the ... um, most interesting maternity dresses you've ever seen.

    It was tight, white, and covered in colorful squares and letters. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was a keyboard. Yep, Rose was wearing one giant keyboard. It was definitely a bold choice, and, love it or hate it, I can't help but think how this is a last hurrah outfit for her of sorts -- whether she knows it or not. Because with motherhood comes mom clothes.
