Seems like sporting a little bump on the belly is popular nowadays, and I don't mean the kind of bump a big meal creates. Teen idol Britney Spears is four months' pregnant, Ben Affleck's fiancee, Jennifer Garner (star of Alias), is rumoured to have a bun in the oven, Bond girl Denise Richards (who is in the process of divorcing husband Charlie Sheen) is about to give birth to her second child and, locally, Miss Hong Kong 1995 Winnie Yeung Yuen-yi gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday.
And there's plenty more locals wanting baby action. Singer Kelly Chen Wai-lam, 31, (left) told reporters if her boyfriend of more than 10 years doesn't ask for her hand by the time she's 38, she'll propose to him. 'I want to have kids before I'm 40,' she said. It's no secret that 35-year-old Sheila Chin Suk-lan's (aka Lan Tsee) biological clock is ticking itself off the mantel. The radio personality is on the prowl for a man to settle down and start a family with. 'OK, it's getting to the point where I don't even need the man to stick around,' she joked. 'The most important thing is to get me pregnant!'
Across town, Miss Hong Kong 1990 Anita Yuen Wing-yi (right) said she wants kids by the time she's 35. That gives boyfriend of 12 years Julian Cheung Chi-lam a year to propose and another to get his boys swimming.
