Oh, thank the fertility gods! A brave soul -- who is none other than rock star Pink -- has dared to reveal that, during her pregnancy, she didn't feel like a sunset, a princess, nor a blossoming flower. Nope. Pink says she felt like "a mess." 

I'm sooo happy to hear this. Listen to the sister:

I thought I’d feel like a goddess. They sell you on that … like you’ll never feel more feminine. Really, I just felt like a mess ... I gained 55 pounds. I think my baby may be part cheesecake.

It hasn't even been a month since Hilary Duff gave birth to her adorable son, Luca, but there are already people giving her grief about losing her baby weight. (For reals!) Because apparently some people are so miserable that they have nothing better to do with their time than tear apart a new mom because she has a few pregnancy pounds to shed. God forbid a celeb should take longer than two weeks to get back into her pre-baby clothes.

People on Twitter have actually made rude comments about how Hilary "waddled into Pilates," after photos were taken of her heading to class in an effort to get back into a good exercise routine. Who else wants to join me and start a club to take on these pathetic haters? (I got your back, Hil!) Because I kind of wanted to scream after hearing that she's already getting pressure to be back in tip-top shape so soon after having a baby. It's unrealistic and flat-out ridiculous.

Just when you thought we couldn't possibly discuss Jessica Simpson's weight any more, here we go again. You'd think in pregnancy at least we could give her a break, but fat chance. Instead the likes of Joy Behar has to go shooting off her big fat mouth calling Jess out for her weight gain.

On The View this week Behar flat out called Jessica "fat" in no uncertain terms. "Remember the time that Jessica Simpson was criticized because she didn't know the difference between chicken and tuna? That kind of thing is more fun to criticize than the fact that the girl is fat," she said. It was rude, wrong, and not even funny, and Tori Spelling for one is standing up to defend Jess.

Poor Jessica Simpson. She’s one of those celebrities who can’t seem to get a break under the fingerwagging of public scrutiny. I mean, the girl wore “mom jeans” and got more headline-making heat than the international dictator of the moment. Now she can’t even get pregnancy—the most natural, instinctive womanly function—right. At least not in the overly vocal opinions of armchair critics and medical professionals who haven’t actually examined her.

So she gained a little more weight during her pregnancy than some docs think is necessary. So she eats cheesecake for breakfast. So she’s blown up before our very eyes during this almost nine-month stretch of baby-making. Sooo what?! We spend too much of our time criticizing celebs. Heck, I’m guilty of it myself. But in this case, I feel compelled to stand up on behalf of Jess in this delicate time. 

Whatever happened to the whole "eating for two" thing being ok during pregnancy? Because it seems like it's sort of a faux-pas to chow down while you're expecting these days, and that's just no fun at all.

Of course, I guess the whole over-indulgence thing can catch up with you eventually, resulting in you gaining an obscene amount of weight by your ninth month, and making it virtually impossible to easily take those pounds off after your baby arrives. In that regard, it's probably smart to try and stick to a healthier diet.

But the good news is that even if you do slip a bit and give in to your favorite food cravings during pregnancy, new research shows that pigging out won't have any effect on your baby's cognitive development or IQ. Basically, you're not going to make your baby stupid because you decided to have a few cupcakes. So you might as well just go for it.

Has Jennifer Garner ever been labeled "America's Sweetheart"? Or is that title strictly reserved for Reese Witherspoon? I can't remember. Either way, right now, that honor should totally go to Jen, because she's just so damn cute and relatable.

The mother of two recently sat down with InStyle magazine and talked about her pregnancy. No, there was no waxing poetic about the "amazing" bee pollen smoothies she's been having, and there was nary a mention of the private prenatal yoga classes she'd simply die without. She talked about Doritos. And how, when she's pregnant, she just gains weight.

"I'm craving a cheeseburger."

"So let's go get one."

"But, I'm getting so fat. Look at my belly! It's HUGE!"

"It's not so bad, I promise."

"You promise?"

"I promise. You look fine!"

"I eat too many sundaes."

That was a conversation I had almost four years ago when I was pregnant with my second son. The conversation was, as you might have expected, was with my husband. The roles, as you might not expect, were reversed.

My husband was suffering from Couvade Syndrome.

In other words, he was pregnant, too.

Outspoken actress and self-described "mommy warrior and cellulite killer" Jenny McCarthy tends to either annoy or overjoy parents, but now, she's done something that will probably make most moms smirk. She's claimed in the past that she weighed 211 pounds when she was pregnant with her son Evan  in 2002. Being that most of us see gorgeous celebs like McCarthy toting around a perfect basketball and otherwise slim figure while pregnant, that number's a bit hard to believe ... until you see the photo McCarthy tweeted, which serves as "photographic evidence" of her hefty weight gain. In addition to the photo, she commented, "For anyone that doubted my 211 lbs at pregnancy here is a photo I found! Meaty meaty ass! Whoa!" Uh, yeah. I'll say! That is some baby bump!

I also love that she admitted, in an interview with Shape magazine, that she expected to be 170 when she left the hospital, but walked out of there weighing in at 200 pounds!
