Battle of the Celebabies

There is one simple reason for why Nicole Richie's People magazine cover sold more copies than Christina Aguilera's: Nicole's baby is way cuter! Christina's baby Max looks sort of like Ben from Lost, but Nicole's daughter Harlow is just a little schmoopie-poo. Don't tell me you don't want to kidnap that little munchkin! That said, I'm kind of disturbed by the fact that celebrity baby photo pimping has become a competition in the first place.

Nicole Richie Pops Out a Girl

Nicole Richie popped out a baby girl! Her name is Harlow Winter Kate Madden. That's one too many names, I think, but "Harlow" is actually an adorable choice (Patricia Arquette also chose it for her daughter). I just hope Richie doesn't go back to her super-rexy figure...she looked beautiful and healthy while pregnant.

Shaking Hands and Kissing Babies, Minus the Kissing

Freelance writer Darren Garnick got a photograph of almost every presidential candidate with his 5-month-old daughter Dahlia, although there was no baby-kissing allowed (Barack Obama was the only one who attempted, and was allowed, to break the rule). Garnick even got a picture of her with Chuck Norris! Cute little Dahlia's going to be the most popular kid at preschool.

"Duh" Alert: Do Not Let Your Babies Play With Dobermans

A Brooklyn infant died today after being bitten on the head by his family's Doberman. This is obviously very sad, but come on, people! Why would you let an 8-month-old play with a dog that is bred to be a vicious killing machine??? I'm lucky my family had a golden retriever when I was a baby, because a meaner breed would surely have bitten my face off. I used to tug on her eyelashes for fun when I was a toddler, and Goldie (creative name, right?) would just sit there complacently. Meanwhile, the family cat was busy pissing in my crib.
