Celebrity Baby: George and Amal Clooney Welcome Boy & Girl Twins!

On June 6th, George Clooney and wife Amal became celebrity parents to twins, Alexander and Ella! The celebrity couple discovered they were expecting last February and were very excited when they received the news. Sources told People.com that the actor suggested that he was going to be momentarily absent on the set his upcoming movie Suburbicon. Mr. and Mrs. Clooney will be enjoying the presence of their little boy and girl!

These celebrity babies were long-awaited, and the tabloids are buzzing. What are some ways to prepare for twin versus a single child?

Cupid’s Advice:

Twins come with additional choices to consider when getting ready for children. Consider these parenting tips before your twins arrive:

1. Buy different outfits instead of matching: It is common to see twins in matching outfits, but this is one fashion style that is often expensive. Your best option for daily outfits is to buy different clothing for your twins instead of matching. This gives them collection of choices to wear. Matching clothes are best saved for family photos and special events!

2. Select stroller that is best for you: A baby stroller for twins can come in multiple styles. The side-by-side stroller is a traditional option that has the twins sitting next to each other. A tandem double stroller will have your twins sitting front to back. A double jogger styled stroller has the similar make up of a side-by-side, but are more durable for rocky paths and exercise. Each stroller has their special features, but you need to decide which make the most sense for your lifestyle.

3. Become a list person: Before your little ones come into the world, become a list person. Start writing down your goals in how you plan to organize their nursery, meals, and supplies. One you have your list of tasks, break them down into categories and each month try to tackle what seems ideal for your current schedule. Once your twins come, you’ll already be prepared for their arrival and have a new list ready for parenting them!

2. Candlelit dinner at home: This is something your partner definitely won’t be expecting when he or she gets home from work! Instead of the typical “server yourself” get-up in the kitchen, consider setting up a special candlelit dinner for your partner. You can discuss the day as your faces are glowing.

3. Plan a trip: Whether it’s a trip you eventually tell your partner about after it’s booked or a trip he or she doesn’t even know they’re going on until they get to the airport, a surprise getaway is always a good idea. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with your partner’s work schedule, and be sure you bring clothes for them!

Famous Couple George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin Enjoy NYC Food Tour

By Jenna Bagcal

In celebrity news from People.com, married celebrity couple George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin have recently been dining at some of New York City’s best restaurants and eateries. This famous couple have been eating their way through the city at high-end places such as Cipriani, Morandi, and Babbo to name just a few off their list.

Famous couples eat famous food! What are some creative things you can do as a couple to explore a new city?

Cupid’s Advice:

Whether you and your partner are visiting a new city for your honeymoon, anniversary, or a simple vacation, getting to know the food, sights, and general aura of each place will help you to get the most out of what each city has to offer. Gain inspiration from this famous couple and explore cities in a fun and delicious way. Here are three of Cupid’s tips for creative things you and your significant other can do when exploring a new city.

1. Go to their local market or grocery store: Eating a city’s local cuisine is one of the best ways to connect to each place on a deeper level. Visit a city’s outdoor market if they have one, or even grocery store and check out their fun and unique food. Sample a little or a lot of the local fare, and buy a few of your favorite snacks to stash into your luggage on the trip home.

2. Ditch the hotel: Instead of staying at a fancy hotel during your vacation, stay with a host family, or try a service like Airbnb to rent out someone’s home or apartment. Living how the locals do will help you and your partner to get an authentic feel for living in any particular city.

3. Walk around without a map: Once you and your partner have seen the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, or the Sistine Chapel , take some time to wander aimlessly around the city and explore to your heart’s content. Go into small shops or boutiques and practice your language skills with the shop owners. Buy a souvenir or two to take back home with you.

George Clooney and Celebrity Love Amal Are Installing Panic Room in Home

By Rebecca White

The latest celebrity news and gossip has us all a little curious. According to UsMagazine.com, celebrity love birds George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are installing a panic room in their England mansion. The famous couple spent their celebrity honeymoon in the home after tying the knot in September 2014, choosing to focus on their relationship and love life rather than a celebrity vacation.

George Clooney wants to keep his celebrity love Amal safe at all costs. What are some ways to protect your loved one in everyday life?

Cupid’s Advice:

If you live together, install a security system so you don’t have to worry every time you go out of town. These protective measures will make you aware as a couple, so you’re always prepared for the unexpected.

2. Check in regularly: When you and your honey are at work all day, or go out of town separately, make sure that you check in with them regularly, through texting and calling. There’s no need to keep tabs on one another, but just make sure you know where your partner will be and call them every night to make sure they’re safe.

3. Defend them: Sometimes you don’t only need to protect your loved one from emergencies, but from the everyday people in their life. If you two are at a social gathering, or the family is putting pressure on them, defend your significant other and protect them from the judgment.

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin Get Marriage License in London

By Shannon Seibert

The wedding bells are ringing! George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin snagged their marriage license in London at Chelsea Town Hall. The pair has been engaged since April and the actor and lawyer power couple is planning their wedding for this fall. According to UsMagazine.com, a source says that this is the happiest relationship that Clooney has been in, and the pair have a healthy, and wonderful love.

What are some ways to know you’re ready for marriage?

Cupid’s Advice:

Marriage is THE commitment. This isn’t something you do just for fun, because your parents want you to, or because you’re feeling pressured to. This is all about you and your man, so you want to make sure this is the right man going into it. Take these thoughts into consideration before you say “I do”:

1. There is nothing holding you back emotionally: It is only normal for everyone to come with some sort of emotional baggage from past relationships. Before heading toward the altar, take a moment to breathe. If you don’t find yourself drowning in other entanglements, secrets, or reservations, it’s safe to say you can take this step forward with your love.

2. It’s not about the wedding, it’s about being married: As we grow up we are instructed about how our lives are supposed to go. You go from being a child to being in school, then graduating, getting married, and having children. This is supposed to be sufficient by societal standards but this is the person who is going to stand by your side forever. If you’re just looking forward to wearing a white gown and the honeymoon, then marriage isn’t for you. This is going to be hard work on both ends, and nothing will be easy from this point forward.

3. You’re 100 % sure about your partner: If you can say wholeheartedly that you trust your partner with your life, then you’re in safe hands. he’s your knight in shining armor, who has been there for you through your ups and downs, has seen you in both positive and negative lights, and still finds you wonderful. You deserve eternal happiness, and you have to find that with someone who makes you feel good about yourself. There is no room left for doubt within a marriage, so don’t take any into it.

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin Attend Her Cousin’s Wedding

By Sanetra Richards

Aside from planning their own, George Clooney and fiancee Amal Alamuddin attended a wedding last Thursday, July 10th. According to UsMagazine.com, the bride-to-be was actually the officiant of her cousin, Tarek Miknas’ nuptials, which took place in Chianti, a region known for its wine making outside of Florence, Italy. The 36-year-old attorney was dressed in a gorgeous purple gown as she officiated the nuptials at the Villa Mangiacane. The ceremony’s location was designed with sweeping views, giving a beautiful sight of 600 acres of vineyards and olive groves. A guest also commented on Clooney’s character, saying the actor “was affable and polite with those he met and made a big impression on those involved in the wedding.” After the wedding, the soon-to-be married couple took a few photos with the bride and groom. So, when will be expecting the wedding for the future Mr. and Mrs. Clooney? A source says Clooney would “marry her today . . . but he wants to give her a dream wedding.”

What are some advantages to marrying at a place with sweeping views?

Cupid’s Advice:

When planning a wedding, the location is definitely key. Not only do you want the place to be memorable, but you also want it to be mesmerizing and close to breathtaking. If you are looking for both of these qualities in a venue, a setting with sweeping views will definitely do the trick. Cupid has some pros to choosing a place with a stunning view:

1. Amazing outlook: No need to fret, the attention will still be on you during the ceremony. However in the meantime, give the guests something to admire while waiting for you to grace the aisle. They will be in complete awe at the surrounding scenery – whether that may be the beautiful nature or antique buildings.

2. Less time on decorations: Although you will have to add a special touch to the venue, a backdrop provides great detail to the place. With an outdoor wedding, the sweeping view is a part of the decoration. Focus on how to bring that out more so than the actual decorations surrounding the guests.

3. Sweet serenity: Admit it, the thought of marrying your love in a stunning venue with a nice background has you on the verge of tears. If not, by the end of ceremony you will be. Not only will the emotion piled up from the nuptials wet your eyes, but also knowing you are marrying the love of your life in such a remarkable place will also do the trick (and make for great pictures).

George Clooney is Granted Protection Laws in Lake Como Pre-Wedding

By Laura Seaman

George Clooney is taking some extra precautions before his upcoming marriage to Amal Alamuddin. The actor has been given two protection laws making it illegal for fans and paparazzi to come to close to his residence in Lake Como, Italy. These laws state that it is illegal to stop on the road outside Clooney’s house or the water in front of his villa 24-hours a day. “It’s a question of traffic and security,” the town’s mayor tells UsMagazine.com. “It is very dangerous and it’s also an issue of privacy.” The new laws will be in place until September 30.

What are some ways to prevent wedding crashers at your reception?

Cupid’s Advice:

It’s easy to understand why you don’t want uninvited guests at your party, and even more so when the party is celebrating one of the most important events of your life. However, it does happen, and trouble usually follows. Here are some tips from Cupid to keep party crashers at bay, whether they’re unruly friends, relatives with family issues, or just strangers who happen to show up:

1. Make it clear to guests that it is a private occasion. This might mean adding a small note to the end of the invitation or going so far as to call each guest and explain the situation, but if it’s really important you will make sure all of your partygoers understand. If it’s not clear, they might try to invite more people or accidentally blab to an uninvited friend or relative about the time and location.

2. Pick a proper venue. If your reception is outdoors or in a popular public space like a park or pavilion it might be a bit difficult to ensure that nobody crashes. Private, indoor locations are easier to secure and less likely to catch the attention of hopeful party crashers.

3. Pay for the extra security. You don’t have to go to the extent that George Clooney did, but a little extra security can go a long way. One or two workers at the door checking the guest list are much more likely to catch an uninvited guest. It’s not your job to monitor the party; it’s your job to have fun and make memories!

1.Ask them to give another chance: There’s nothing wrong with asking your family to give your beau another chance. Perhaps their first meeting or interaction happened under bad circumstances, so try arranging for you, your significant other and your family to get together under better settings. If the people you love truly care about your happiness they should be willing to do whatever necessary to see that you will be happy.

2. Be patient: Maybe your family doesn’t agree with your engagement right now, but maybe they will over time. Every relationship takes time to build, that includes your lover’s relationship with your family, so let things develop on their own gradually as time passes. If you try to force a relationship between your love and family it will put too much pressure on you and them and it may seem like you’re trying to hard to prove your relationship.

3.Share your love with the family: You don’t have to dish out all the private and intimate details about your love life, but it won’t hurt sharing little things about it. If your family can get a glimpse of the two of your’s love for each other, it will help them better understand why the relationship works. So, try next time you are together with your family sharing all the ways your honey make you happy or tell them stories about some of the fun things you’ve done.

Celebrity Couple Predictions: Mary-Kate Olsen, Eva Mendes and Amal Alamuddin

By Shoshi

For today’s column, let’s take a look at three celebrity couples that are on top of the media’s radar– whether it’s because of an odd pairing, an on-and-off-again relationship, or a surprising new coupling:

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy: The former child star turned fashion designer is rumored to be engaged to the banker, although she has yet to officially confirm the news. When this engagement was first announced, there was a collective “ew” heard around the world.

Olsen is 27 years old, while Sarkozy is 44 years old — but one can say that Olsen has experienced a lot in her 27 years. Therefore, their 17-year age difference shouldn’t be a major factor in this relationship. It’s the visual of seeing them together that makes people stop and ponder a bit. She’s a petite youthful-looking pixie, while he’s over a foot taller than her and looks every bit of his four decades. In other words, he looks more like her daddy than her fiancé. Seeing the two of them with his teenage daughter definitely makes you do a double take!

Since Sarkozy and Olsen have been together, she seems to be completely drama-free. The two already live together in a six-million-dollar home in New York City, and the fashion designer has shown how she will be as a stepmom to Sarkozy’s two children. So the next step appears to be marriage. I can see them getting married secretly and having a baby together before the relationship hits a major bump.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling: Are they together or not? That’s the question. The two of them haven’t been photographed together for over three months. In the midst of the break-up rumors, she has been seen walking his dog, while he has been seen driving her car and peeking over her fence. One report even had the actor rekindling his relationships with his The Notebook co-star Rachel McAdams, who he admitted was his first love.

Maybe the twosome are just having fun and like to keep us all guessing. It could also be a way to get people interested in Gosling’s directorial debut How to Catch A Monster, which Mendes stars in.

In looking at their relationship energy, I feel like these two can’t figure out what they’re doing. Either they commit to each other 100 percent and get married or buy a house together, or they split and move on. Part of why they’re staying together is their comfort level.

Also, might I add that it looks like things in the bedroom are quite fabulous. Let’s keep it real: Good loving will make anyone stay around a little bit longer!

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin: It has finally happened: Clooney is dating a woman who has beauty and brains. This isn’t to throw any shade at the lovely ladies he has dated in the past, but his new girlfriend has some major girl geek credentials. Alamuddin’s resume includes a career in international law, fluency in French and Arabic, and a degree from Oxford. Plus, she’s an author.

Some say that she’s way out of Clooney’s league. While the actor is no Oxford grad, he is deeper than some of his former dating choices. Let’s not forget that he normally makes his intellectual statements in the movies that he produces and directs.

There is speculation that he staged the recent photos of the couple in New York because he’s upset that his ex Stacy Keibler got married and is expecting a baby less than a year after their break-up. I won’t go so far as to say that Clooney cried over Keibler’s big news, but it bruised his ego a bit. He’s used to his exes looking a little pitiful in the press when he drops them, whereas the beautiful blonde rebounded with a win.

His relationship with Alamuddin will have a typical Clooney run. She will accompany him to events, vacations, and other high-profile outings. However, she will bore of him versus him getting bored with her. She’s a woman of many layers; Clooney picked a lady who will give him a run for his money.
