Penelope Cruz and her longtime partner, Javier Bardem, are expecting their first child, sources have exclusively revealed today.

“Penelope is about four months pregnant,” the source said. “She’s really healthy now and will be a great mother.”

While Cruz and Bardem – who have appeared in three films together over the years – are happily in love and about to go into parenthood together, don’t expect the couple to tie the knot any time soon.

Cruz told the August issue of UK’s Psychologies magazine, “When I [have babies], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”

Well, she’s got that last part down-pat, at least. Congratulations to Penelope and Javier!

Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban have rejected “several multi-million dollar offers” to publish the first pictures of their newborn daughter Sunday Rose, The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting.

According to the newspaper, Kidman and Urban are still “undecided” as to whether or not they’ll even release a publicity spread featuring their baby girl, but if they do, they’ve insisted that it will be for free.

“They don’t think it’s appropriate to make deals,” a source said. “They are still deciding how they feel about [it] – if and when they will release a photo at all. But they realise there is enormous interest from the public and they are grateful and appreciative of that.

“Nicole and Keith have been enjoying their first few days at home with their firstborn tot – Nicole is thinking about things like breastfeeding right now.”

Other new celebrity parents haven’t been as accommodating to the press and Nic and Keith, with Matthew McConaughey taking a cool $3 million for the first pictures of his new bundle of joy, and Hollywood power couple Brangelina reportedly holding out for a whopping $20 million before they’ll release any photographs of their newborn twins.

Another celebrity baby, another multi-million dollar “first” pictures deal!

It’s been a little over a day since news of the birth of Matthew McConaughey’s son Levi first broke, and already the Fool’s Gold actor has brokered a deal with OK! magazine.

According to a source, OK! has paid $3 million for the first pics of baby Levi. However, the source has it on good authority that the deal includes not only his newborn pics, but also a juicy little spread of Levi’s first Christmas. Two for the price of one: what a bargain!

But that’s not all, folks! As well as the baby pics, Matthew and Camila have reportedly given OK! the exclusive “first” rights to their wedding album — assuming they actually do tie the knot. Of course, if they want to print those photos, the mag will have to pay handsomely again..
