Parenting With The Stars

Whether or not we’re willing to admit it, there’s just something about celebrities that triggers the impulse to gawk—especially when it comes to their parenting. While we may not look to them for sage child-rearing wisdom, we do like to know what they’re naming their babies, what diaper bag they’re carrying, where they had brunch yesterday (and did their kids behave the whole time?) and what playgrounds they’re loving these days. Here are a few of our favorite virtual spots to camp out and watch what’s happening in the lives of the rich and famous (and of course, their little cuties):—
