Alba: Daughter is love of my life

Jessica Alba has described her new daughter Honor Marie as "the love of my life". "Everything is cute, everything is fun," the actress told People.com. "Including the explosive diarrhoea - the best ever. She's the love of my life. The love is profound. She gives everything more meaning." And it seems that having her first baby has brought the actress and her husband Cash Warren even closer together. "It brings family together. It brings friends together. It makes every decision that you make that much more important," she said. However, Jessica and Cash have had to face a few sleepless nights with the new baby. "It depends on what you think sleeping through the night is," said the actress. "She gets a few bottles a night, yes. But she doesn't wake up and want to hang out." Since Honor was born in June, Jessica has worked hard to get her svelte pre-pregnancy body back. "I worked out - not for hours, but I definitely had to work out," she said. "And I ate, not a lot of sweets and not a lot of cream. I kept a pretty simple organic diet, which I do now anyway."

No more kids for Stiller

With two children already a handful, Ben Stiller isn't planning on having any more kids any time soon. "I'm happy where we're at right now," Ben, 42, told OK! Magazine. "Two is a handful. I feel very fortunate and blessed." "Two is enough for now. Three's off," confirmed his wife Christine Taylor, who is mother to Ella, six, and son Quinlan three. "They're incredible," said Ben. "They're ridiculously cute at six and three, and every moment is a joy and a wonderful challenge that people who have kids can only understand. It's the best." And Christine is also enjoying being a mother. "It's the most selfless thing ever, and it takes me out of all the craziness in my own head," she said. "I can put it on my children, and hopefully not put the crazy in them."

"It's the greatest city in the world," JT said. "It's good for everything. It's good for food. There is good fashion. There is mostly good weather except for (rainy) today. And it's the realest city in America." Justin, who may move in to his new pad with steady girlfriend Jessica Biel, was speaking en route to the 5th Annual Black Ball for the Keep A Child Alive charity, which was founded by singer Alicia Keys to help HIV/AIDS children and their families in Africa. "Alicia is a great friend of mine. We both got to talking about this event. We talked about how we had both been to some of the same places in Africa, and how money in the right places can actually help," said Justin.
