The movie "Knocked Up" starring Seth Rogan and "Grey’s Anatomy’s" Katherine Heigl is still getting huge buzz at the box office and epitomizing the new hot trend in Hollywood: having babies.

In the past couple weeks, it seemed like Hollywood OB/GYNS were doing nothing but delivering "celebribabies." Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder’s third child Henry Daniel was born; Tiger Woods’ wife Elin delivered their daughter Sam Alexis; "King of Queen’s" star Kevin James and wife Steffiana had their second child, Shea Joelle; and Jeff Gordon and wife Ingrid welcomed their new daughter Ella Sofia to the NASCAR family.

These privileged babies not only make headlines, but some even follow in their parents' footsteps of becoming a star; "Law & Order: SUV" star Mariska Hargitay’s baby son, August, appears in the latest "Got Milk?" ads with her.

Want to turn your new bundle of joy into a celebribaby look-alike? Here’s where you can pick up designer duds that have Hollywood mommies excited:

  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt dressed baby Shiloh in the brown duck-print onesie ($24) from infant line Rusty Bumper (RustyBumperWorld.com); they are also huge fans of Crib Rock Couture (CribRockCouture.com) – a line that carries adorable nursery rhyme-themed baby and infant clothing (avg. price $25).

  • Denise Richards’ daughter Sam is always rockin’ her "Little Ladies" ladybug-print socks ($6) from Monkey Toes (monkey-toes.com). They have frog, piggy and bumblebee ones available, too.

  • Wry Baby (WryBaby.com) is the line of choice for Britney Spears and Jennifer Garner/Ben Affleck’s children. They carry great baby snapsuits with funny expressions like "Photo With Baby – 25 Cents" and "I Might Barf" printed on the front ($24 each).

  • Life Size Kids (LifeSizeKids.com) is another secret shop where celebs have been going for years to get baby and kid-sized versions of their own favorite designers: tiny Paul Frank sweatshirts (Celine Dion); infant Juicy Couture suits (Lisa Rinna; Madonna; Cindy Crawford); teeny pairs of Uggs (Kate Moss); and itty-bitty Diesel jeans (Kate Winslet). This site is even cute to look at if you don’t have kids – the clothes are literally miniature versions of runway clothing designs!


    • Don’t think the recent rush of deliveries means the end of the celebribaby craze. All due this summer: Naomi Watts, Bridget Moynahan, Salma Hayek and "Bachelorette" Trista Sutter. And rumored to be pregnant…Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie.

    Recently Spice Girls creator Simon Fuller posted a memo to the ladies warning them that if they wanted to have a reunion tour this fall – "No Getting Pregnant!" Maybe even he’s caught on to the fact that being pregnant is even hotter in L.A. than fitting into a size 0.
