Newlywed and mom-to-be Ashlee Simpson recently chatted about marriage and pregnancy with ET Canada. And by her account, all is going well.

The singer and her rocker husband, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, are busy preparing for their baby, rumored to be a boy.

“We’re getting the nursery ready,” said Simpson. “I can’t wait to be a mom and he can’t wait to be a dad, so it’s fun.”

“I have the greatest husband,” she continued. “He’s so awesome. It’s fun to have somebody that I love to do this with.”

As for advice from family, she said, “My mom and my grandmother [have] given me good motherly advice, but it’s one of those things where your mother instincts kind of kick in right away.”

As for a name, Ashlee said they’re as yet undecided: “I don’t think it’s something we’ll decide until the baby comes.”

All in all, she calls this, “the happiest moment in my life.”

“Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen and his new wife, Brooke Mueller, are expecting a baby.

Sheen, who married Mueller in May, confirmed the news with this statement: “Brooke and I are thrilled! She’s the best step-mom Sam, Lola and Cassandra could ever hope for,” Sheen said in a statement. “Seeing her love and affection with those three, I know she’ll be an amazing mom.”

The baby will be Sheen’s fourth child. He is the father of three girls, two with ex-wife Denise Richards and one with former girlfriend Paula Profit.

As to what the sex of this baby will be, Sheen says, “Unless I bat 100 percent, perhaps a boy awaits us.”

Congrats to the parents-to-be!

Michael Phelps may have won eight gold medals and has been deemed the “greatest Olympian of all-time” at the 2008 Olympic Games… but lets not forget his mother!

Jonhson’s Baby has named Michael’s mother, Debbie Phelps their “Mom of the Olympic Games!”

Johnson’s Baby Company will donate money in Debbie Phelps’ name to children’s causes. The “Mom of the Olympic Games” award came as a nice surprise to Debbie Phelps, a middle school principal, who told PEOPLE that she is, “so honored.”

Debbie is also the national spokesperson for the Facebook group ADHD Moms.

As Debbie explained, “I just felt I had a voice to be able to share with the moms online community about ADHD,” she says. “We do podcasts and articles.” Michael was diagnosed with ADHD when he was nine years old.

Michael “was non-stop, always going, always questioning,” Debbie said. “When the teachers brought it to my attention about his lack of focus in the classroom, that’s when I got concerned. When he was nine, 10, 11 years old, he would sit at the pool for hours,” she said. “That’s why when I was talking with his teachers, and they’d say, ‘He can’t focus on anything,’ I’d say, ‘Well yes he can! He can focus on the pool.’ … He was able to focus on what he loved.”

Michael and his mother were able to find help for his ADHD. Debbie Phelps is working hard in spreading information and support for mothers who need answers and support.

Congratulations to this true “Mom of the Olympic Games!”

Since having her daughter Frankie 18 months ago, Amanda Peet has become and advocate of vaccinations.  She spoke with Gotham magazine and had a lot to say about being a new mother and her struggle with post partum depression. 

On her PPD:   [after I gave birth] I had a fairly serious postpartum depression. I think it was because I had a really euphoric pregnancy.
G: So, the hormones had been working in your favor.
AP: Yes. I was like a princess and I was just euphoric and productive and I felt really sexy. But it all came crashing down the second she was born. And I was sleep-deprived beyond belief

G: You were expecting to feel good?
AP: Fulfilled, yes. And now I want to be honest about it because I think there’s still so much shame when you have mixed feelings about being a mom instead of feeling this sort of “bliss.” I think a lot of people still really struggle with that, but it’s hard to find other people who are willing to talk about it…. In a weird way, the thing that’s been the most extraordinary about being a mom is the craving that I have for her—it’s strange because I’m in love with David, but then I’m also in love with this other person.

Welcome to motherhood Amanda.
