Baby on the way for Kristen Bell, Dax ShepardEngaged pair Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are expanding their family. A rep for 32-year-old Bell tells CNN that the couple are expecting their first child in late spring. (How we wish they taped their reaction when they found out, as we're sure it topped Bell's reaction to a sloth run-in on her birthday.)
According to People magazine, Shepard, 37, and Bell have been looking forward to becoming parents, and they're both ecstatic about the news. Bell is reportedly feeling great after having a bit of morning sickness early on, and is now back at work taping the second season of Showtime's "House of Lies." As far as their marriage plans, Shepard and Bell told CNN earlier this year while promoting their film "Hit and Run" that they definitely plan on getting hitched, but they're waiting until same-sex marriage is legal before they do so. "[We're not] punishing America by not getting married," Shepard joked. "We're not going to have a party when half of our friends ... can't do that thing we're doing. We're not going to ask them to come celebrate a right they don't have. That's just tacky! Forget like anything else, it's like really tacky for us.” |

u In ancient Near Eastern culture, at a banquet it was customary to anoint a person with fragrant oil as a lotion. Hosts were also expected to protect their guests at all costs. God offers the protection of a host even when enemies surround us. In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God. God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into his house forever.
You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!
Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home.
He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.
Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley),
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.
u When we allow God our shepherd to guide us, we have contentment. When we choose to sin, however, we go our own way and cannot blame God for the environment we create for ourselves. Our shepherd knows the "green pastures" and "quiet waters" that will restore us. We will reach these places only by following him obediently. Rebelling against the shepherd's leading is actually rebelling against our own best interests. We must remember this the next time we re tempted to go our own way rather than the shepherd's way.
u Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely helpless in its presence. We can struggle with other enemies – pain, suffering, disease, injury – but strength and courage cannot overcome death. It has the final word. Only one person can walk with us through death's dark valley and bring us safely to the other side – the God of life, our shepherd. Because life is uncertain, we should follow this shepherd who offers us eternal comfort.
u In ancient Near Eastern culture, at a banquet it was customary to anoint a person with fragrant oil as a lotion. Hosts were also expected to protect their guests at all costs. God offers the protection of a host even when enemies surround us. In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God. God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into his house forever.

You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!
Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley),
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

u When we allow God our shepherd to guide us, we have contentment. When we choose to sin, however, we go our own way and cannot blame God for the environment we create for ourselves. Our shepherd knows the "green pastures" and "quiet waters" that will restore us. We will reach these places only by following him obediently. Rebelling against the shepherd's leading is actually rebelling against our own best interests. We must remember this the next time we re tempted to go our own way rather than the shepherd's way.
u Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely helpless in its presence. We can struggle with other enemies – pain, suffering, disease, injury – but strength and courage cannot overcome death. It has the final word. Only one person can walk with us through death's dark valley and bring us safely to the other side – the God of life, our shepherd. Because life is uncertain, we should follow this shepherd who offers us eternal comfort.
u In ancient Near Eastern culture, at a banquet it was customary to anoint a person with fragrant oil as a lotion. Hosts were also expected to protect their guests at all costs. God offers the protection of a host even when enemies surround us. In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God. God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into his house forever.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley),
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Our shepherd knows the "green pastures" and "quiet waters" that will restore us. We will reach these places only by following him obediently. Rebelling against the shepherd's leading is actually rebelling against our own best interests. We must remember this the next time we re tempted to go our own way rather than the shepherd's way.
u Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely helpless in its presence. We can struggle with other enemies – pain, suffering, disease, injury – but strength and courage cannot overcome death. It has the final word. Only one person can walk with us through death's dark valley and bring us safely to the other side – the God of life, our shepherd. Because life is uncertain, we should follow this shepherd who offers us eternal comfort.
u In ancient Near Eastern culture, at a banquet it was customary to anoint a person with fragrant oil as a lotion. Hosts were also expected to protect their guests at all costs. God offers the protection of a host even when enemies surround us. In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God. God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into his house forever.

Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!
He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.

Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley),
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!
He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.
Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.
u When we allow God our shepherd to guide us, we have contentment. When we choose to sin, however, we go our own way and cannot blame God for the environment we create for ourselves. Our shepherd knows the "green pastures" and "quiet waters" that will restore us. We will reach these places only by following him obediently. Rebelling against the shepherd's leading is actually rebelling against our own best interests. We must remember this the next time we re tempted to go our own way rather than the shepherd's way.
u Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely helpless in its presence. We can struggle with other enemies – pain, suffering, disease, injury – but strength and courage cannot overcome death. It has the final word. Only one person can walk with us through death's dark valley and bring us safely to the other side – the God of life, our shepherd. Because life is uncertain, we should follow this shepherd who offers us eternal comfort.

You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!
Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley),
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!
He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.
Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.

You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!
Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley),
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

adore this couple in the pic above...hopefully they remain happy
pretty gal and they seem happy congrats
Kristen is hot, always has been.... not sure if Dax likes women, he certainly has a 'sensitive' look to him. We sure Kristen just isn't one of those single moms that don't need men but want a child and Dax is the BFF willing to do the job?? Just a thought. Wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong but the dude doesn't look straight. Either way, I'm jealous cuz he got to sample some of that Bell... mmmm mmmm mmmmmmm.
Love Dax !!! I wish them the Best 🙂
Too bad they didn't wait to procreate until their gay friends could procreate. it's only fair.
Congrats to Kristen and Zach Braff!
::?
LOL
Where do some of you folks come from???? Pullllleeeeessssse, go back!!!!
A happy colon you must have. I extremely happy for you.
Congratulations! I hope she gives birth to a human. That would be easier because diapers are made for people, you know. Unless you're a big fat one. In that case, you probably have some huge carpet cleaning bills. It always pays to clean your carpet, because you find the strangest things in them. One time, I found my wife. She thinks I'm a magician, but only because I tried to saw her in half.
Well, another baby that will be raised by nannies, and another couple who won't be together beyond the child's second birthday – and another man who made the mistake of giving a woman a child. He won't be getting any anymore. Once a woman gets her children, all she wants from the father is child support.
I'm gonna go ahead and about 75% agree with you. That is what usually happens, trust me I've seen it, but these two have been together awhile and aren't a particularly flashy, press hound couple. Let's just say congrats for now and hope they make it and have a long happy family life.
At least they can afford to raise their baby comfortably. Better than all the uneducated nitwits out there having kids in or out of wedlock so they can get more public funding to support their lazy habits.
Let me guess, you are a bitter divorcee who pays child support. I'm thinking your ex couldn't take your cynicism anymore? Sad for you.
I actually like these two people. They're funny and charming and not so full of themselves like the celebrities that people tend to worship.
You people are a disgrace to society some of you using race in these comments.. But see I would be villified if these were N______s and I said something racial well tough guess what I dont care. The rest of you dispecable sc___ Bgs making stupid comments are why I cannot stand human beings. I am praying each of you has karma come back on you for making ridiculous comments about people you dont even know and you die horrible deaths for your disgusting words. Ya'll belong in a gutter!!
who are these people?
Who are these ugly people?
Kristen Bell??? Never heard of her.
Get a TV
Oh yes. . . .the hollywood crowd pushing out another puppy out of wedlock. . . . . .while they lecture the rest of us on morality!!! Such a pillar of hope and moral guidance. . . . . . . . . NOT! Dogs.
"Christians" and "Taliban" - no difference
Well, thank goodness for people like you, Brian Coles. At least this couple hasn't resorted to name calling here. You must be incredibly proud of yourself.
Probably going to name it "Sloth".
I love them Good for them Congrats
She been in alot of movies such as Burlesque, Ht and Run,Get him to the Greek, When in Rome, Couples Retreat and many many more.
He on the other hand I know from the tv parenthood whic is a great show.
Goooood For Yoooouuuuuu
maybe he wants to do something completely different we women have to give the man space
my cousin's husband is part of the make a wish foundation then heads to the bar with the "other friends" lol
the point is the man's gotta have something he believes in...they are married 12 years and they have their
own things.
Nothing wrong with a "female" or male going forward with education. we must set people free at times so they know what's going on and talk to others. i just finished up classes, plus a photography class on saturday mornings.
my family member with 2 kids to a course in the evening
you want to learn something, go do it.
–
meet others, have normal conversations. workshops, study–legislation–tell me? what have you done?
And Kristen Bell is who? Another kinda cute white girl? Oh, OK. Not too many of those around these days so I guess this really is news.
You been living in a cave or what? I suppose you're now going to tell me you never heard of the hit TV show, 'Veronica Mars', played by Kristen. Or you probably never saw 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall,' either. You're pathetic.
another ignorant black person
@qqqqqjim ...well I've heard of Veronica Mars, but never watched or even knew who starred in it, and I've...never heard of Forgetting Sarah Marshall....some other commentators say she has apparently been in movies too but I don't recognize that face of hers anywhere so I would guess the roles were small and therefore the character somehow forgettable... Some people just dont turn on the TV anymore to avoid all the crap which is on it...
like totally! good grief – gag. Stop going to school and having careers etc – 'cause there are lots of women that can't do that either.
Your little protest will do nothing to change the situation – that's a lame excuse that's been done before. Try working on legislation etc., if you really want to change something – 'like for real'
what efforts are you making towards legislation?
Good Lord, where did she put it? She's about as big as my little finger.
Never heard of either of these people......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I guess I don't watch enough TV because I dont know them either
This is the "Entertainment" section you whining morons!
Dang!
I got her confused with Catherine Bell and was expecting to see some big ole mommy boobies!!
Thanks, I'll check her out.
Ya shes hot alright. Would love to put a mommy boobie in my mouth.
–
what kind of name is dax
Clearly, Dax is the "kind of name" that snagged Kristen Bell. I would change my name to whatever to be in that dude's place.
It is a made up name to avoid giving a child the name of the oppressor. His sister is Ladonica and his younger brother is Lashaun.
He was named after the German stock exchange. His middle name is Ka-Ching, which is the name of the Chinese stock exchange.
This reminds of Jason Mraz saying he wasn't going to marry his current fiance until gay marriage was legal. What he didn't mention was that he'd already been married in the past, so basically, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free + have a cause celebre to prop up your viewpoint?
And why do we care what any of these people stand for?
I think she does the voice of a girl on the cartoon Unsupervised.
she's completely surrounded
Get ready for a long wait cause neither president is gonna over turn DOMA.
whatever you say
....lol.....this is hilarious. The problem with America (well, one of them at least) is that crap like this is seen as important. I can't say that I don't care about this article, because I honestly do. I care about it being posted to CNN as news. The importance isn't the specific content, I mean who the hell cares if she's having a baby. The importance is actually the fact that someone being pregnant is considered newsworthy only because they have a lot of money and can be seen on television every now and then. If her child becomes the man/woman who cures cancer, then I will apologize for this statement. But I seriously doubt it. Anyhow, back to the real news stories about people who are struggling and who don't have the benefit of waking up every morning to a full bank account and the "stress" of reading from a script.
Why has CNN posted this as news? Because its in the ENTERTAINMENT section. If you didn't want to see news about ENTERTAINMENT, then why are you in the ENTERTAINMENT section? In case you didn't notice, I am trying to emphasis the word "ENTERTAINMENT". Do you go to the Sports section and complain why are there sports stories there?
If you don't think entertainment stories are new, then why are you going to the entertainment section?
Well, you can find lots of reasons to be mad at CNN, I suppose, but the happenings involving celebrities has been "news" since there has been written language. You can disagree with our tendency to like celebrity news but it isn't CNN's fault. Kristen Bell is one of my favorite actresses so I was interested in her impending motherhood. It isn't on the scale of election news or hurrican damage but all news isn't of equal importance and as another person noted, it is in the entertainment section. I wouldn't be surprised if most other media outlets report this story as well. Frankly, this post just sounds a little bitter.
not ENTERTAINMENT.
"Forget like anything else, it's like really tacky for us"
When did Dax become a Valley Girl?
Lilac: How does them getting married or not affect your life? It's THEIR decision it's and nothing you should be passing judgement on. If they're happy and can support themselves and the kid, you should also be happy.
I don't really know Kristen Bell, either, but thought Dax Shepard was great in Idocracy. So congrats to them, and all the best.
Seriously,..who is Kristen Bell and why would ANYONE care? Also is it asking too much for people to get married FIRST and then have a family?
Is it asking too much for you to read the article before commenting on it? Then you wouldn't have had to waste your time answering question #2.
Give it a rest Lilac
Because cause it is every mother's dream to have their daughter pregnant and planning on getting married. Heck, some people have "fiances" for three or four kids. What's the big deal? Me, I'm waiting for Simon and Garfunkel to reunite before I ever do laundry again.
Lilac....I couldn't agree with you more!
not really no.
Kristen Bell starred in the Veronica Mars TV series, as well as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and numerous other films. She's very talented and seems so genuinely sweet (see the link from the article regarding the sloth).
Dax Shepherd is currently on Parenthood (tv series). He used to do the Punk'd things with Ashton Kutcher in the very beginning but has been acting for several years.
If you guys don't care about these people, then why do you bother to read the article, much less comment on it. My guess is you just really want / need attention. And even negative attention is better than none.
I suggest you go volunteer at some hospital – or rather than griping about stuff you don't know about – go enlighten yourself by reading or watching TV – even if it isn't to enlighten you,, but maybe make you less grumpy.
