Courteney Cox's 49th birthday celebrations in LA over the weekend were a star-studded affair. She was joined by her famous pals, Isla Fisher, Busy Philipps, Laura Dern and Jennifer Meyer, who is Tobey Maguire's wife, for festivities at Giorgio Baldi restaurant. Courteney took to her Twitter account to document the fun surrounding the special occasion, which would not be complete without her daughter, Coco Arquette. She shared a photo of herself and her daughter during the party writing, "Every birthday is perfect with my favourite girl." Courteney also shared a group shot of pregnant Busy, Isla, Lauren and Jennifer with the caption, "Dancin with my girls." Busy sent her wishes on Twitter too writing, "Happy Birthday to Courteney Cox! One of the greatest ladies I know!"

Exciting times this morning, with news that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have welcomed their baby girl a month early! In honour of the new mum, we're taking a look back at the pregnancy through her eyes. From the swollen feet she pushed into the most stylish of shoes, to the incredible maternity clothing choices she made (we're talking Lanvin, Mugler, Valentino and many more), Kim didn't skip a beat when it came to updating us all on her chic mum-to-be style. Beauty-wise, Kim's already-glowing skin went to a whole new level, her hair embarked on many adventures and her lips became legends of their own. It's all in this Instagram gallery (thanks, Kim), so click through to check it out! And big congratulations to the happy couple.

Brad Pitt and his son Pax departed from Seoul, South Korea, yesterday after arriving earlier in the day as part of Brad's promotional efforts for World War Z, which hits cinemas on June 20. Over the weekend, the father-son pair visited Sydney, where they rode on a police boat in the harbour. Brad had Pax by his side when the two arrived in Sydney on Sunday morning for the Australian premiere of World War Z following a whirlwind trip across the United States to attend various film showings at five different cities. Brad didn't travel with Pax when he was in the States, but he did have all of his children with him when he celebrated Angelina Jolie's birthday in Germany last week. Angelina was in Europe to support Brad as he premiered World War Z in London, Paris and Berlin. She made headlines when she walked the red carpet at the film's London premiere, as it was her first public appearance since announcing that she had gotten a preventative double mastectomy.

Beyoncé Knowles took to her personal blog to post a series of cute beach photos on Friday. She shared snaps while biking, hitting the beach, and relaxing in a spa bath with her 1-year-old daughter, Blue Carter. While Beyoncé's sunny locale hasn't been confirmed, it could be that she and Jay-Z headed south to Miami for some NBA Finals fun this weekend — the two are noted basketball fans, and Jay-Z is especially fond of watching his pal LeBron James on the court.

Beyoncé has been enjoying some downtime in the States after hitting the stage at the Chime For Change benefit concert in London last week. She and Jay-Z had a sweet date night in NYC, followed by a stop to support their pal Pharrell Williams at the 10th anniversary party of his Billionaire Boys Club clothing line. She'll be picking things back up when the North American leg of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour kicks off June 28 in LA.

A few of NYC's most famous mums and dads grabbed their little ones and headed to Central Park for the 2013 Baby Buggy Bedtime Bash yesterday. Mariska Hargitay met up with her fellow NBC star Debra Messing and rode a train together with Mariska's two children. Meanwhile, hosts Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld played around with their gang of boys while Garcelle Beauvais rested on a park bench with her little ones. Molly Sims also stopped by the bash with her son, Brooks, who will celebrate his first birthday this month. The event raised $500,000 for Baby Buggy, a charity started by Jessica that provides families in need with essentials for their babies.

There's not much time left before the royal baby arrives, and Kate Middleton and Prince William have been getting their practice in with lots of sweet kiddie time. A big part of the duke's and duchess' duties are working with children and carrying on the legacy that Princess Diana left with her extensive charity work. Over the years, they've visited hospitals, schools and orphanages, and shown just how great they are at interacting with their smallest fans.

We couldn't be more excited for the royal baby, and as Kate and Will prep for parenthood, we're taking a look at their cutest moments with children all over the world. These photos are sure to make you smile — click through to see them all now!

When Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced that they had named their newborn daughter Everly, we couldn't help but remember that it sounded similar to Cam Gigandet's daughter's name, Everleigh. It turns out Channing and Cam aren't the only stars who have kids with similar names. Angelina Jolie, Ben Affleck and Gisele Bündchen have all given their children the same names as some of their Hollywood peers.
