Beckham tweeted,

“Mummy and baby Harper are very excited for fashion week!!!”

The former Spice Girl and her husband Stephen Belafonte have released the name of their daughter: Madison Brown Belafonte.

Mel B is also known for snapping back to her former svelte figure in no time. Spy Kids actress Jessica Alba hopes to do the same. Alba gave birth to her second daughter Haven Garner Warren last month and she’s eager to drop the baby weight. She shared with her twitter followers,

‘My doc told me I could start after 2 weeks. I’m going light, stationary bike and elliptical.’

‘I did my first day of workout since I had the baby, just cardio for 40 mins – it’s a start.

‘Anyone else starting a fitness regimen?’

Is the need to drop the weight so soon after pregnancy such a prevalent issue in Hollywood?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
