A hard moment for any parent!
Serena Williams and fiance Alexis Ohanian left their newborn daughter Alexis Olympia at home for the first time to have an adults-only outing at the farmer's market in Florida, and the tennis star couldn't help but miss her baby the whole time. "We miss her already. We miss Olympia," she wrote on Snapchat along with video of the pair.
The athlete recently penned a letter to her own mom after realizing what a huge responsibility motherhood is, and she made it clear she plans to raise her little princess to be a strong woman.
"I've been called man because I appeared outwardly strong. It has been said that that I use drugs (No, I have always had far too much integrity to behave dishonestly in order to gain an advantage). It has been said I don't belong in Women's sports -- that I belong in Men's -- because I look stronger than many other women do. (No, I just work hard and I was born with this badass body and proud of it). But mom, I'm not sure how you did not go off on every single reporter, person, announcer and quite frankly, hater, who was too ignorant to understand the power of a black woman," she wrote.
"I am proud we were able to show them what some women look like. We don't all look the same. We are curvy, strong, muscular, tall, small, just to name a few, and all the same: we are women and proud! You are so classy, I only wish I could take your lead. I am trying, though, and God is not done with me yet. I have a LONG way to go, but thank you. Thank you for being the role model I needed to endure all the hardships that I now regard as a challenges--ones that I enjoy. I hope to teach my baby Alexis Olympia the same, and have the same fortitude you have had," she added.

She's trying to do her part.
Beyonce dropped a surprise new single and corresponding music video on Thursday, and announced that the proceeds from song sales will go to hurricane relief efforts. The tune is a remix of J. Balvin and Willy William’s “Mi Gente," and it may be even catchier than "Despacito."
"I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands. To help go to Beyonce.com/reliefefforts," she wrote. To build hype, the songstress released a bunch of colorful Instagram snapshots to promote the track, and you'd never know she gave birth to twins just a few months ago!
Queen Bey has been hands-on with disaster relief since the devastating hurricanes in Houston and Florida. She taped a video message for the Hand To Hand telethon, she passed out food at food banks in affected regions, and she's planning a benefit concert with husband Jay-Z in NYC in October.
"During a time where it's impossible to watch the news without seeing violence or racism in this country, just when you think it couldn't possibly get worse, natural disasters take precious life, do massive damage and forever change lives, leaving behind contaminated water, flooded hospitals, schools and nursing homes. We need to come together in a collective effort to raise our voices, to help our communities, to lift our spirits and heal," she has said.
This makes us like her even more than we already do!

Get well soon, girl!
Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth arrived at LAX today to catch a flight back to their native Hawaii, and poor Beth couldn't speak because of her recent surgery to remove a plum size throat tumor. She was so sweet and gracious with photographers, despite feeling very under the weather. We asked her when she is expected to get her voice back, and sadly it won't be anytime soon. "A while," she mouthed.
Beth announced she was battling throat cancer in a letter to friends and family, and she's trying to keep a positive outlook despite the scary news.
"As most of you know, I’ve spent a lifetime facing tests and challenges I didn’t see coming and certainly never expected. I’ve been dealt my share of unexpected blows over the course of my almost 50 years but nothing as serious as the one I heard from my doctors two weeks ago when they uttered those dreaded three words, ‘You have cancer.’ After months of a nagging cough, a routine checkup resulted in a diagnosis of stage II throat cancer. I have what is referred to as a T2 Tumor in my throat that is blocking my breathing. My doctors are suggesting immediate treatment and surgery before the disease progresses," she wrote in the note obtained by Radar.
"To be certain, I’ve stared down the devil more than once in my life but I’ve never faced a real life or death decision. My life has never been easy, and I surely don’t expect it to start now. Still, I’ve never been a victim and I won’t let cancer beat me. I realize the road I am about to travel will be rocky, full of unexpected twists and turns. But I know one thing for sure. A bend in the road is not the end of the road. There is no quick fix and no appealing options for treatment. Yes, cancer sucks. While I know my diagnosis, until I come out of my surgery, I do not yet know my prognosis. If all goes well, my doctors will be able to get the tumor," she continued.
"I will fight every step of the way. My husband and children are counting on me to be there for years to come. I am so very grateful to be surrounded by family and friends who have given me incredible support during this very challenging time," she concluded.
As if things weren't rough enough, Beth is devestated by the sudden loss of her beloved dog. "As I’ve been begging my Dr.’s and my friends to let me go home my very precious baby died. She just waited and waited but mommy never came. I’m sick with grief from the loss of my fur baby Delilah… you were a good ol’ road dog girl I’ll love and miss you forever," she posted on Facebook Wednesday.
Clearly we're not working with the most intelligent people here, so this kinda barely makes sense, but we're all about Kylie Jenner baby news, so here you go!
Tyga previously claimed -- or kinda seemed to claim -- in a now-deleted Snapchat, that Kylie's unborn child is HIS. Well now he seems to be reversing that claim ...
In a video with Keke Palmer for her "For The D" challenge, the rapper spits a line: "The baby mine? Hell no, for that pussy." Of course fans immediately assumed it was a comment on his previous paternal claim to Kylie's baby and that this is absolute proof he's NOT the father. All signs seem to point to Travis Scott being the baby daddy but damn is this confusing!

This can't be an easy situation for the actor's new lady love!
Jennifer Garner spent the morning taking her kids to school with Ben Affleck's mom, and it's pretty clear the two are still super close after the mother-of-three's split from her A-list hubby. Rumor has it the Oscar winner's mistress-turned-girlfriend is nervous to meet his family, and we can see why!
"Lindsay’s been avoiding this so far, but meeting Ben’s mom, his brother Casey and the extended family is something’s she’s going to have to face. She’s terrified at facing their questions on how she and Ben met and fell in love. But she’s starting to run out of excuses – and Ben’s family members are beginning to wonder what’s up," a source dished to Radar.
As far as Jen is concerned, she's so over her former spouse that she doesn't even care if Lindsay spends time with the kids!
"Ben asked Jen if it would be OK if he brought Lindsay to the kids' school events. Jen told him she had absolutely no issue with it. Ben kept asking Jen if she truly meant that it was fine. After everything he put her through over the last couple of years, she just wants to be done with the drama. She no longer cares about whatever he has going on in his life as long as the kids are happy and healthy," another source told Life & Style.
Jen G is the perfect example of how to handle a breakup with class!

She's happy taking it one step at a time.
Khloe Kardashian has been vocal about wanting to marry boyfriend-turned-baby daddy Tristan Thompson, but now that she's pregnant, a wedding is lower on her list of priorities.
The reality star has been "crying tears of joy" ever since she found out she was expecting, and her famous family couldn't be happier that all her dreams are coming true with a good man.
The Revenge Body star went off birth control six months ago, after a fertility doctor told her that if she continued to take contraceptives, it was highly likely she wouldn't be able to have children. All things considered, it happened pretty quickly!
We've said it before but we'll say it again... she's going to be the BEST mom! She must have taken a lot of selfies before her baby bump popped, because she just Instagrammed a promo for her Good American line, and we don't see a belly!

Not the news we like to hear.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus announced today that she's been diagnosed with breast cancer, and she took the opportunity to shed light on the importance of health care for all. Apparently, the Veep star found out just one day after her historic Emmys win.
"1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I'm the one. The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let's fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality," she wrote in a note on Instagram.
The actress and husband Brad Hall are parents to sons Henry, 25, and Charlie, 20. She gave no other details about her treatment or prognosis, so we're praying for her.
