“Concerning the name, we just haven’t been able to decide,” she told the radio station RAC1. “There are ridiculous names, like Ulisito, that came out of the press’ need to report nonsense. There was also Biel, which we like, but I don’t think it will be that one either, or Gerard. We’ll see.”

The 35-year-old singer said she is enjoying being pregnant. “I’m very excited,” she said. “I’ve experienced [the pregnancy] with the same ease with which I try to live everything. Although everyone tells me that will change when he’s born because my life will be different.”

Journalist and Our America host Lisa Ling showed off her baby bump in a blue dress at the Women’s Media Center’s 2012 Awards. She is six months along and expecting a baby girl with her husband, Paul Song.

Ling, 39, suffered a miscarriage two years ago, and said she is feeling excited, but nervous about this pregnancy.

“I’m finally going down this road and it’s scary,” she told People. "I’m really excited but more nervous than anything.”

“I’m nervous about all of it. I’m nervous about how my life is going to completely change. I’m nervous about how I’m going to actually carry the baby. I’m nervous about changing diapers. I’m not someone who likes to be nervous. I’m someone who is always in control,” she continued. “But I feel very fortunate. My husband and I are very, very lucky that this is even happening. I’m really excited about investing our emotion and love in another person. I’m finally ready for it.”

As far as pregnancy symptoms, Ling says she hasn’t really experienced any! “I didn’t have any morning sickness at all and feel pretty normal other than getting this belly!” she said.

I love you, Baby Bear!!” she wrote on her website. “We’ve been having a blast staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was my first time staying at this resort and I loved it!

"I don't want to say what the names are, but I will say that they're very unusual,” she said. ”Kind of Apple-ish, along those lines. I don't like common names at all. If I've heard it before on somebody more than one time, it's out!”

It looks like celebrity morning sickness is the latest trend after Kate Middleton was hospitalized with hyperemesis gravidarum earlier this week. Now, pregnant Holly Madison is suffering from complications from her morning sickness ailment close to her third trimester.

The 32-year-old was hospitalized and treated with an IV to pump fluids back into her system. The former Hugh Hefner girlfriend tweeted out photos of her IV, her floral pajamas and her Converse high-tops while she was being treated at the hospital.

She shared the hospital trip with her followers, stating, "Almost seven months and morning sickness took hold! Glad to be otherwise OK, though."

The Playboy Playmate is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, a Las Vegas party promoter. While Madison is concerned about her health and delivering her first baby, her boyfriend is in quite a bit of hot water.

Rotella has been embroiled in a legal mess stemming from two people who died at one of his events earlier in the year. In addition, he has been indicted on charges of embezzlement, bribery and conspiracy in a theft case from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Those charges could land him in jail for up to 14 years.

The Girls Next Door star didn't seem fazed by her hospital visit nor her baby daddy's legal issues as she tweeted out thanks to all of her followers.

She responded to her fans' messages for good health with, "Thank you for all the get well wishes! Keeping me entertained -- forgot to bring a book with me."

Madison is due to give birth in March.

HG isn't just for princesses

Severe morning sickness for kate

As the world was buzzing about Kate Middleton's hospitalization for hyperemesis gravidarum — severe morning sickness —  in the very early stages of her royal pregnancy, Holly Madison announced she, too, was suffering from it in her seventh month.

Is "severe" morning sickness real, or is it the new "exhaustion" for the rich and famous? Let's face it, many moms-to-be have HG — it's just not headline news. You don't have to be a princess or a Playboy model to suffer from this all-too-real — and pretty miserable — pregnancy condition.

If news of Kate Middleton's hospitalization for severe morning sickness had you running to kiss the toilet — if you even made it that far — you're not alone. Many moms suffer from morning sickness — nausea and sometimes vomiting during pregnancy .

When is Kate Middleton due? >>

Morning sickness 101

No one knows for sure what causes morning sickness, but there may be triggers. Miriam Erick, a registered dietician and author of the book, Managing Morning Sickness, says, "In my experience there are some background triggers which seem to make NVP worse — smells, motion, noise, hot humid climates, cold damp climates — have to close windows so smells stay in — bright lights, constipation, fatigue/sleep deprivation, altered electrolytes and hunger."

Any kind of morning sickness can be a drag, but if you have hyperemesis gravidarum it's much worse, and can pose risks to you and your baby.

HG — yes, it's real

And it's really miserable — not just the disease itself, but how people may just brush off severe morning sickness as being all in their head while telling her to eat a couple of crackers, drink some ginger ale and get on with the day.

More about hyperemesis gravidarum>>

Kimber MacGibbon, RN, director of education for the Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation, explains, "Women are not exaggerating when they say they vomit endlessly until dehydrated, despite their best attempts to drink and eat. When women are this sick, they do not need to be pushed to eat, continue working full- or even part-time, or to try and tough it out or will it away. You know that is simply not possible. Fighting HG only worsens it. They need those around them to rally support and ensure proper medical care so the mother can rest and have the best chance at surviving HG with a healthy baby."

What to do if you think it's HG

Don't be embarrassed. Don't shrug it off. Call your doctor and midwife — it's not all in your head. If you're unable to keep any food or drink down, the nausea and vomiting won't stop, and you've lost more than 5 percent of your pre-pregnancy body weight, it's likely HG. Just like Kate, you may need to go to the hospital to receive IV fluids, and possibly be admitted for a few days or more. "There is no substitute for fluids," Erick says.

When HG is no longer in the news

Now that the Princess is out of the hospital — and hopefully not experiencing severe morning sickness as much anymore — people shouldn't forget about hyperemesis gravidarum. "We hope she will be open about her experience and care so that when the beautiful baby is born healthy, women will feel more confident requesting needed treatment from their health professionals, and health professionals will take the initiative to learn more for the benefit of their patients," says MacGibbon.

“Fun in the sun…,” pregnant Jessica Simpson tweeted, with a link to this photo of her showing off her famous curves in a red low-cut swimsuit cover-up and cowboy hat.

Simpson vacationed with Eric Johnson and their baby Maxwell in Oahu, Hawaii over the holidays. The singer actually announced she is pregnant again while enjoying some time in the tropical spot.

“There are little things that you kind of obsess over. I never knew how protective I was until I had my own child. I’m already thinking about intruders coming into the house and what our escape route would be,” she told People.

Besides her sense of security, she also said her personal style has changed.

"I find myself going for more sophisticated looks, but I do think that’s kind of trendy right now — just a classier-looking woman,” Simpson said. “I love to show off my curves, but being a mom, I guess I do it in a little bit more classy way, even though for Halloween I was a milkmaid — but there are moments.”

Pregnant Kim Kardashian wore black spandex as she left the gym and headed to Jamba Juice to pick up a snack and drink in Los Angeles on January 3.

Kim is reportedly early in her second trimester and doesn’t seem to be showing much yet, despite reports that claim that she is expecting twins.

“Staying fit and healthy during my pregnancy,” Kim tweeted.

The reality star wrote that Gwyneth Paltrow’s trainer, Tracy Anderson, is working with her during her pregnancy.

“Tracy Anderson is keeping me in shape!“ she wrote on her website. “She is helping me make the adjustments necessary to keep me feeling happy, healthy and most importantly create a workout plan that is safe for the baby. It’s really important for me to have a fitness routine that works for my body and my schedule and I’m really happy with the workout plan Tracy is working with me on.”

Kim and Kanye have reportedly turned down an offer of $3 million for the first pictures of baby Kimye. Why would they turn this huge offer down?

"We're told they're aware public demand will only increase over time -- and still might consider offers in the future," a source tells TMZ.

The couple are also saying their baby will not be appearing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

“We're still debating it,“ she said. “We know that it's coming up to that point when you can, so I think it's going to be a last-minute decision.“

And as far as baby names? “That's done,“ she said. “We started that years ago and we finally came to an agreement for both sexes.“

Holly Madison's beloved dogs are at the center of a battle between the mom-to-be and her Home Owner's Association. It turns out having the mega-sized pink doghouse of her dreams built has been nothing but trouble!

"We're selling this house," Madison vented to Las Vegas Weekly. "We thought of renting it, but we're finished here... The HOA here is so bad, I don't even want to deal with them."

Celeb bump day: Holly Madison gets painted, and more>>

The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, who is now dating Pasquale Rotella, the father of her baby-to-be, continued her vent:

"They've come after me about the dumbest things... I built this ridiculous, human-sized doghouse behind my house, and when I went over it with my contractor, he consulted the HOA on all their restrictions and whatnot... It's possible you could see the roof from the street, but you can't see any of it from the street, actually. My thought is, if you can't see anything in my back yard from the street, then who is peeking in my back yard?

Nonetheless, the dog house only Madison and her house guests can see is racking up hefty fines. The 33-year-old, "mom" to fur-babies Napoleon, Josephine and Louis Le Premier, explained, "They keep fining me for having it painted pink!"

"It's a temporary structure, so it's not even under their jurisdiction... a hundred dollars a month, or something like that," she added. "I haven't been paying it. I just keep sending them nasty letters."

Madison admits that although she's willing to pay big bucks to keep her puppies living in style, pet-ownership isn't without its problems. On Jan. 11, she tweeted, "The dogs have started sh**ting all over. Not sure if they are protesting the baby or move to a new house, but it ain't workin, kids!"

Lisa Ling

Pregnant journalist Lisa Ling looked adorable showing off her baby bump in a flowing top paired with a blazer at the Boom Boom Baby Room event, which featured the newest baby products. What was on her wish list?

“This is honestly my first introduction to the whole baby product thing, because I have been working the whole time,” she told Celebrity Baby Scoop. “I’ve been blown away. It’s definitely overwhelming, but there have been incredible products. I was really excited about the chemical-free detergents by Molly’s Suds that you can use on adult clothes as well. I am definitely going to be purchasing a lot of that stuff.”

The 39-year-old TV personality is expecting her first child with Paul Song and has been open about the fact that, due to a previous miscarriage, she has been nervous throughout this pregnancy.

She told the Huffington Post back in November that this pregnancy has made her appreciate all that women go through. “Even though I’m seven months along, because I’ve miscarried, I’m still nervous every day. I’m constantly feeling my stomach to make sure she’s moving.”

“She’s really active, so it’s like, ’Is she moving, is she moving today?’ You live in these months of fear. There is just so much more pressure on women. I’ve gained more of an appreciation for all of the challenges women have to deal with: Pregnancy, fertility, juggling what’s professional and personal,” she said.

She told TheBoot.com that they don’t know the sex of their baby, but have already started a list of baby names.

”If it's a boy, there aren't very many girl names that could be boy names. But if it's a girl, there's a bunch of boy names on the list that could technically be girl names. I'm hoping I can at least cut it down somewhat, because there's a lot of names to choose from and a lot of really cute ones and family names that are important to us. So, it's a tough decision.”

She also said she plans on including the sound of the baby’s heartbeat on one of the tracks of their newest album!

”That's definitely something we're going to try to capture, and it was Charles' [Kelley] idea,” Scott said. ”I walked into the studio and we had just had the doctor's appointment and I was like, ’Here's the heartbeat, it's beating 158, really strong and fast.’ And he goes, ’We have to do something with that!’”

I want to paint flowers on the wall.” She said her Los Angles nursery will be mostly pink. Both nurseries, however, will have plenty of storage.

”You get into these rooms and there's just so much baby junk,” she said. ”You need a lot of storage space.”

You're just saying that to get me to do everything for you.’“

“I know it's probably true, but I like to joke about it and she hates it,“ he continues. “I'll go to the store to pick up shakes or give her 1,000 foot rubs. A foot rub now through the nine months if I have to, just to keep her happy and comfortable.“

“I’ve been depending heavily on stretchy Roberto Cavalli dresses for evening looks lately. Most people probably think prints are a no-no during pregnancy, but I figure I’m going to look like a beach ball no matter what so I might as well have fun with it!” she recently wrote on her blog.

Pregnant Holly Madison has not yet given birth, but she is already planning for after the baby is here. In fact, Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend is hoping to recover as quickly as possible, and she is planning to do that through her diet. Sort of.

"This might sound gross, but I'm totally plannng on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth," Madison wrote on her blog on Celebuzz. "I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can!"

The former Playboy model added, "Have any other moms out there done this?"

According to E! News, Madison is not the first Hollywood mom to consider this. And in fact, some women swear by it.

January Jones is another actress who has said she consumed her placenta as well. Her son Xander was born in September 2011.

"It's a very civilized thing that can help women with depression or fatigue," Jones told Glamour, according to E! News. "I was never depressed or sad or down after the baby was born, so I'd highly suggest it to any pregnant woman."

Madison is focusing on expecting her baby, and doesn’t expect to start planning her wedding to boyfriend Pasquale Rotella until after she gives birth.

"One thing at a time," she told People. "We totally want to [get married], probably in late summer. We're going to wait until the baby comes and we get moved in to the house before I start planning any of that."

The 33-year-old has been thinking about an important part of her future though — what kind of mom she will be.

"It's hard to say because it's my first time," she said, according to E! News. "I don't want to be too strict because I think kids can get rebellious, but I hope to raise my daughter to be passionate about doing good things—about pursuing real things and real hobbies and not just frivolous material stuff."

Madison and Rotella's baby is due March 5.

Holly Madison is on her way to becoming a first-time mother. In fact, she told the Las Vegas Sun that she was planning on checking into a Las Vegas area hospital on Monday in preparation for her new arrival.

The former Girls Next Door star told Robin Leach, "It’s time now. We have decided to induce the delivery if necessary. I will go in Monday afternoon or early evening. It still might take up to three more days, though."

Her official due date is on Tuesday, but the mother-to-be is clearly eager to meet her little girl. However, don't expect her to give every detail of the birth on various social media outlets.

Madison said, "You’ll know when the baby is born, but I’m not going to be tweeting during the delivery."

Madison and her fiancé Pasquale Rotella, CEO of an electronic concerts promotion company in Las Vegas, have planned an Alice in Wonderland nursery for their new bundle of joy. The Peepshow star was pretty hands-on in terms of the decor, doing most of the painting herself.

What will the baby's girl's name be?

Well, the former Playboy Playmate is keeping that under wraps for now.

"We have her name picked out, but that has to remain a secret for now," she told the Las Vegas Sun. "It’s such an unusual and difficult name I have a feeling we’ll add something simpler once she’s arrived safely in our world."

Her baby girl will also make her debut in a magazine exclusive, but she did not mention the publication.

Madison has already raised a few eyebrows with her announcement that she was planning on eating her placenta to ward off possible postpartum depression. Many mothers swear by the remedy.

After giving birth, her next project will be her upcoming nuptials to Rotella. They are planning a summer wedding.

For now though, she's focused on the next few days and her baby girl.

Madison shared, "I’m feeling very relaxed, very, very happy, contented, yet a little restless with anticipation, but all is good. I’m ready now for the delivery. I can’t wait to be a mommy, although I’m not giving up my career."

She continued, "Everything is wonderful. These are the happiest days of my life."

There's nothing better than a joyous mother-to-be!

Holly Madison’s new baby girl has a name, and it’s quite creative. Madison and her boyfriend Pasquale Rotella have named their new daughter Rainbow Aurora Rotella, and she's sharing why she chose the name.

 “I wanted to give my daughter a unique name,” Madison told E! News. “Growing up, there was a girl in my school named Rainbow and I was so envious of that name. I thought it was so pretty and unique!”

Rainbow is now three days old, having been born on Tuesday, and both parents fell in love with their new baby right away.

"I've never been more in love than I am today as, after months of waiting, I finally was able to hold my daughter for the first time,” Rotella told In Touch. “I'm truly the luckiest man in the world."

Madison has been thinking a lot about parenthood, and recently talked about what she hopes she'll be like as a parent.

“I know I will be an incredibly loving, supportive and involved mom,” she told In Touch before the birth. “My hope is I can help my kids find their passions and give them — within reason — what they will need to follow their dreams. I will try to accomplish this by being the kind of mom who builds a strong and solid family life and support system.”

Madison said she hopes to get back to work very soon, but knows that her Playboy days are over.

"Having a child changes your perspective," she said. "You want to do things that will make them proud of you.”

Holly Madison teased in a recent interview that she would exclusively debut her baby girl in a magazine. The cover story for In Touch is out now and the world gets to see the first photos of newborn Rainbow Aurora.

The photos were taken one week after Rainbow was born and the magazine talked to Madison about being a new mom.

The Playboy Playmate swears that giving birth was a piece of cake, "Even the delivery was easy — I was actually laughing as I was pushing!”

While most moms might not agree with that statement, apparently the epidural helped ease the process of giving birth.

Madison reveals, “I had an epidural, so it was fun. She made it easy on me.”

The birth might have been easy, but is life going to be easy for a child with such an unusual name? The former Girls Next Door star weighs in on the moniker controversy.

She said, "If getting teased about her name is the worst thing that’s going to happen to her, bring it on.”

The reality star's inspiration behind the name came from a childhood classmate. The new mom shared, “I was always envious of her name!”

Madison and her boyfriend Pasquale Rotella are enjoying parenthood immensely even when Rainbow is fussy.

The former Peepshow star blissfully shared, "Like all babies, she has her moments. But I’m so in awe of her that I even think her screams are cute!”

While this is the first baby for Madison and Rotella, don't expect it to be the last. She has big plans ahead!

Madison tells In Touch, "We want Rainbow to have lots of brothers and sisters. I’d love to have six!”

It sounds like the reality star is ready to have her own Brady Bunch brood.

Congratulations, Holly!
