Gael Garcia To Be a Daddy?

Looks like we are baby obsessed this week…The latest word on the street is that Mala’s favorite hunk, Gael García Bernal, is going to be a dad. People en Español reports that sources close to Gael and the purported mom-to-be, Dolores Fonzi, say that Fonzi is 4 months pregnant.

But it seems that congratulations aren’t exactly in order. Back in May People en Español reported that Gael himself released a statement saying that he and Fonzi are only friends and that they weren’t expecting a baby. Makes me think that this latest rumor isn’t necessarily to be trusted.

Pop diva Christina Aguilera gave birth to a baby ~~something~~ boy over the weekend. According to the singer’s website, the little bundle of joy — named Max Liron Bratman — weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz.

No pictures yet, but I’m sure there will be a People magazine cover coming soon.

In the same 48-hour period, 3 other celebrity births took place in the Cedars Sinai Hospital in L.A.: In Living Color star David Alan Grier and wife, Nicole Richie, and Courtney Thorne-Smith (aka Allison from Melrose Place).

Gabriela%20037.jpg Some of you might have noticed (of course you have) that our beloved Mala has been absent lately. Well, she was on a temporary hiatus from blogging to bring you VL’s very first bebé. Wasn’t that nice of her?

La ChileRican #2, Gabriela Paula Paredes Ortiz was born on January 16th at 1:07 pm in NYC, weighing in at an adorable 6 lbs. 12 oz. and measuring a charming 20 inches.

We are happy to have our Mala back and to welcome our first VL baby into the world.

Felicidades to mami, papi, and big sis! And special thanks to El Gossiper for filling in for Mala.

Latino baby boom in post-Katrina New Orleans

When the dust had barely settled in post-Katrina New Orleans, the city was already buzzing with anti-immigrant rhetoric as a result of an influx of Mexican workers contracted to help in the clean-up efforts. Now it seems that this chain of events has led to an unexpected demographic change in the area — a Latino baby boom:

A little more than a year after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is seeing a boom in its Latino population, with many coming to help reconstruct the city.

Health officials had not anticipated the surge in the city’s Latino population, The New York Times reported.

In a demographic twist, hundreds of Latino babies are being born in New Orleans to immigrant Latino workers, both legal and illegal. In a city largely abandoned by its doctors after the storm, this new population adds a financial strain to the already struggling city.

According to UPI, physicians are struggling to meet the rising demand for their services as a result of the birth of nearly 250 new babies per month.

Latino population booms, more born in U.S.

11 May 2006

The census bureau has just released some data that shows a rise in the U.S. Latino population and points to the fact that this surge is more due to the number of children — American-born U.S. citizens of Latino descent — than to the influx of immigrant workers. From CNN.com:

Bureau figures released Wednesday show the U.S. population grew by 2.8 million between July 1, 2004, and July 1, 2005. Hispanics accounted for 1.3 million of that increase, with 800,000 attributable to natural causes — births minus deaths — rather than immigration.
