Baby Time!

Winnie Cooper is pregnant. Well, Danica McKellar, the actress who played her on The Wonder Years, is. Danica captured the hearts of Americans  and Kevin Arnold  playing the gorgeous girl-next-door in the hit TV show which aired from 1998 til 1993. After the show ended, she went to school and ended up becoming a mathematician. Now, she is getting ready to be a mom with her hubby of one year, Mike Verta. “I’m nearing the end of my first trimester and I’m so excited  I’ve been bursting to tell people,” Danica, 35, says. But Danica originally out off confirming her suspicions that she was expecting because she was in the middle of writing her latest book, Hot X: Algebra Exposed. ”I wanted to put off the [pregnancy] test because I didn’t want any distractions. That only lasted a day  I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I caved! You can’t try to put that off.” Continue…

A perfect song by four wild girls that are tearing up SXSW right now. When I hear this song it makes me feel like I am breaking away from winter in an emotional expolsion like the last day of school. Their new album drops March 30th but enjoy the free download for now. Continue…

We’d all be, er, hanging loose, if we looked like Caio Vaz. The Billabong-sponsored surfer graced the pages of Vogue Brasil when he was just a baby-faced 13-year old. Now Vaz is the ripe old age of sweet 16 — with an i-D cover in 2007 along the way. We expect to see a lot more of the pro surfer, well, at least in the killer wave off-season. Continue…

He’s Back!

Tiger Woods is ready for his closeup. Five months after the golf great was caught cheating on his gorgeous model wife with at least 14 women, he is gearing up for a return to the links. On April 8th, after two stints in sex addiction rehab and time away to deal with mending his broken family, Tiger will be back to golfing at the Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia the course where he first won as a pro back in 1997. “The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect,” Woods said in a statement. “After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta.” Continue…

After a weekend of pounding nor’easter rain, the sun and blue sky are back on-duty. The brighter weather has us thinking of lightening up via pieces like this Opening Ceremony ruffle-front blouse. The gauzy shirting has a carefree hippie spirit but doesn’t go too far down the boho path with a clean covered placket and simple shape. Buy it oversize and pair with tailored denim, chunky clog-inspired heels and a fringed shoulder bag. Opening Ceremony ruffle front blouse, $368 at LaGarconne.com.

If we’re talking model careers here, Natasa Vojnovic has been around the block. The cool Serbian beauty has landed everything from Chanel accessories campaigns to French Vogue editorials since debuting on the international scene in 1999. Vojnovic is apparently still going strong. She fronts H&M’s spring summer 2010 magazine looking svelte as ever. Continue…

With curves officially back in demand — well at least Marc Jacob’s Louis Vuitton and Prada gave their say so — there’s a new sort of model recruiting going on. Rather than the ultra-skinny Eastern European girls, scouting has headed west and north, think the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Danish newcomer Caroline Brasch Nielsen is just that kind of model with a bit more meat on her bones (hey, it’s all relative). Nielsen is coming off a stellar fall 2010 Paris season, as in the opener slot for Valentino and walking for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and YSL. Surely with that luxury list, we’ll be seeing more of Nielsen to come. Continue…
