Her Scrubs alter ego is a mother, but 42-year-old Judy Reyes is expecting her first child in early December.

"Just two weeks ago, I started getting into the physically uncomfortable and emotional oh my- gosh-she's-coming place," Reyes told Life & Style Weekly during her baby shower at Santa Monica's Casa Del Mar hotel on Nov. 1. "I live in the Hollywood Hills, and I pass the Wonderland Avenue School with all the moms and dads bringing their little girls to school in their little outfits. That's going to be me!"

Indeed, it's a girl for the actress and boyfriend George Valencia, and they couldn't be happier. "I wouldn't know what to do with a boy," Reyes said. "Dressing her is going to be a lot of fun!"

Celeb Moms Sounds Off on Karl Lagerfeld's Recent 'Fat Mum' Comments



Top fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld sparked outrage when he bashed fat mothers - and now celebrity moms -- Emme Jacob, Sharon Osbourne, Nicole Sullivan and Sarah Shahi -- are fighting back!

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has never been known for his tact. But he completely crossed the line when he recently moved from bashing healthy models, like Heidi Klum, to insulting real, everyday women - especially mothers.

"No one wants to see curvy women," said Lagerfeld in response to German magazine Brigitte's decision to use real women instead of models in its pages starting with the Jan. 2 issue. "These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly." This is about "dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women," he said in an interview with Focus magazine.

Of course, as the creative director of Chanel, Lagerfeld, 71, is responsible for perpetuating the size 0 model stereotype in his Paris fashion shows. "Runway models are thinner than ever, and that's because it's what's in demand by the designers," Harold Mindel, director of NYC's Click Model Management, told Life & Style. Ideally, runway models are 5-foot-10 or 5-foot-11 and wear size 0 to 2, a nearly impossible standard. "Designers, fashion photographers and casting agents have always wanted a thin body to show the silhouette of clothes," said Mindel.

Actress Holly Robinson Peete: I Wish John Travolta Had Spoken Out Sooner

Ten months after son Jett's death, John Travolta finally admitted during an extortion trial that the 16-year-old had suffered from autism. Actress Holly Robinson Peete, whose 12-year-old son, Rodney Jr., also has the disorder, says she wishes John had spoken sooner.

"Were there times I said to myself, Ooh, if somebody that A-list comes out, what could he do for the movement? Yeah, I wished that," the former 21 Jump Street star tells Life & Style.

Still, she says, "I don't blame the Travoltas for not talking about it. I would never tell someone what to say about their kid."

Along with her husband, former NFL star Rodney Peete, Holly founded the HollyRod Foundation, which raises money for families dealing with autism and similar conditions. She says it was a family decision for the Peetes to go public with Rod Jr.'s condition, and she hopes John can find solace in doing the same.

"The fact that posthumously he had to say that on the stand, I wasn't glad about it," she says. "But I was relieved he was able to have closure."
