A Ringer

Red Carpet Mom Sarah Michelle Gellar (daughter Charlotte is 16 months) is making a return to television. Or at least, she is trying to. The "Buffy" star is part of a CBS pilot called "Ringer" which is hoping to get picked up for next year. Gellar will play twins in this thriller. Gellar has laid low the last few years, but it sounds like the Red Carpet Mom is ready to go back to work.

Stage Mom Extraordinaire


Red Carpet Mom Jada Pinkett Smith (stepson Trey is a teenager, son Jaden is 12 and daughter Willow is 10) is stepping behind the camera again, with one of her children in front of it. Willow Smith will be taking on the role of orphan Annie in a new film being developed by her parents, Will and Jada. The Smithes are joining Jay-Z to produce the musical, which will undoubtedly put a new spin on the classic tale. The Smiths helped make their son Jaden an international superstar with the well-received remake of "Karate Kid."

Penelope is a Red Carpet Mom!


Penelope Cruz is officially a Red Carpet Mom! The actress and husband Javier Bardem welcomed their first child into the world yesterday at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. The couple has not revealed whether it is a girl or a boy ... stay tuned. We are thrilled for the couple!

A Serious Evening


Red Carpet Mom and First Lady Michelle Obama (daughter Malia is 12 and daughter Sasha is 9) was at last night's State of the Union Address. Guests in her box included the family of the late Christina Taylor Green , the 9-year-old who was shot in Tucson. The First Lady looked elegant in what the "New York Times" is identifying as a dress by Rachel Roy (pictured here). Overall, the night had a serious tone, with the President focusing on the idea that both political parties need to work together if things are going to get better in the United States.

J Lo on AI


Red Carpet Mom Jennifer Lopez (twins Max and Emme are 2) made her debut as one of the "new judges" on "American Idol" last night. Season 10's premiere showcased Lopez and Steven Tyler as the new judges alongside Randy Jackson, the veteran. Lopez proved to be a big softie, having trouble telling contestants they did a poor job, or telling them they were not moving on. We felt for Lopez!!

Nominated and Not

Red Carpet Mom Michelle Williams (daughter Matilda is 5) received a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a drama for her role in the independent film "Blue Valentine." She is up against mom-to-be Natalie Portman, Red Carpet Mom Nicole Kidman, Red Carpet Mom Halle Berry and first-time nominee Jennifer Lawrence. As much attention as Williams is getting for her Globes nom, she is also getting a lot of attention for being overlooked for a SAG Awards nomination. The actresses nominated for a SAG (in a comparable category) are Kidman, Lawrence, Portman, Red Carpet Mom Annette Bening and Hilary Swank.
