10 Pregnant Celebrities: Maternity Style Trends Update: Jessica Alba's Plush Push Present
| Jul 28, 2011 by KIRSTIN MIRTICH |
Update: In response to the below article on a reported push present, Jessica Alba took to Twitter to set the record straight:
@celeb_babyscoop -don't believe everything you read - It's completely fabricated," the expectant mama wrote.

Push presents are taking Hollywood by storm these days and Jessica Alba, 30, sure isn't willing to be left out!
Rumor has it that handsome hubby Cash Warren, 32, knows of the hand-picked push present Jessica wants to receive when she gives birth - a $54,000 gold and diamond Frank Muller watch!
A friend tells In Touch that "Jessica picked out the watch and told Cash to get it for her."
The Valentine's Day hottie, who is already mother to the couple's 3-year old beauty Honor, has asked her husband to engrave the watch with a special message to read once she receives the gift.
The soon-to-be mom-of-two recently appeared on The Tonight Show and discussed her pregnancy, parenting style and current cutie pie, Honor.
She told Jay Leno, "My girlfriend asked her, ‘Are you excited about being a big sister?’ and she’s like, ‘Yeah, because I’m going to be a grownup, I’m going to drink vino and drive!’ So that’s what she thinks,” Jessica laughs. “We’re great examples as parents!”
We are looking forward to the couple's exciting birth announcement!

You'd think it would be a lot more rewarding to donate some of that push present money to those two little boys whose parents were killed in their vehicle when a mini-van swerved into their lane. Those poor little souls will never walk again, paralyzed from the waist down. Justin Bieber is helping out and good for him.
I really don't understand this new fad. Isn't your gift at the end of labor a brand new baby to love? That's better than any kind of bling.
I agree. I find the whole idea of 'push presents' really distasteful... Personally, I feel privileged to be female and to be the one to carry the baby for nine months and give birth - both are incredible experiences, even taking into account some of the not-so-pleasant aspects. I find it odd that you'd need any gift for giving birth beyond the gift of a beautiful, healthy baby...
Thank you. This whole push present thing reeks of privilege and excess. And what of women who have to have a c-section? Are they not worthy of a present? It creates some kind of hierarchy of birthing methods. And while vagina birth is definitely a better option, if possible, that doesn't mean mothers who don't/can't use that method are unworthy or something. I really do not like this trend.
Yeah, I think the idea of a push present is kind of tacky and certainly $54k would go a long way to help those in need, but the bottom line here is this - it's none of our business how Jessica's husband chooses to spend Jessica's money;)
The phrase "push present" is just awful. And the way it is described here is awful too. She picked it out and told him to engrave it? Wow, can't he think of anything himself?
Anyway, I wouldn't want to wear a 54000$ watch!
I never heard of it called a PUSH present... That itself sounds kind of gross and degrading.... However, my husband gave me a new diamond in my engagement ring after I had our son (3rd child 8-10 years younger than older too.) He said it was an upgrade since we married so young he wanted me to have a bigger rock. But I joke and say it was my gift for giving him the boy. My sister in law just received a huge telescope that she wanted from my brother when she had his baby. She is really into watching birds and such... So I think it just may seem tacky because of the way they are discussing it and yes a 54K watch sounds a little excessive but its is their money. They earned it and they have right to spend it.
Jessica already tweeted saying that this story is completely false.
It would be nice if they updated the story saying so or posted a new one, I think.
I think everyone should re-read the article, which contains phrases like "Rumor has it..." and "A friend tells InTouch...".
C'mon! You're going to put down the woman for something based solely on innuendo and rumors? On top of that, let's decide how they should spend their money, and as a final blow, let's insult her leaching husband. All of this because some "friend" told a tabloid an as-yet unconfirmed story.
the concept of a man giving his girlfriend or wife a gift like that after having a child isn't new so get over it. nor is ingraving jewlery to mark a milestone moment in ones life. Franco Nero did the same thing for Vanessa Redgrave after their son Carlo was born in 1969 with a diamond and Sapphire locket and nobody complained about it then
"and nobody complained about it then"
How in the world would you know if NOBODY complained about it? With the invention of the internet we have access to more information (gossip, fact, fabricated or otherwise) than we ever have before. But even now no one could make a statement like one you made. That's even more true for 1969.
I thought this story sounded bogus and it was. Claws are retracted. I just thought it might be nice for the money to go to charity.
Now that I read it again, it sounds like a company was trying to get free advertising for their product. So they fabricated this dumb story.....they can't go much lower than this.
When I read the story I had a feeling it wasn't true. She seems like such a great mother. She didn't smile this much before she had Honor. Love the family and Honor is so adorable. Anyway, I wouldn't believe anything negative I read about Jessica Alba.
True or not, who has the right to tell anyone what they can and cannot do with their own money. Why should the fact that they may have more privileges than most of us, be reason for them not to do as they please.
I get really embarrassed by my gender with the catty comments, "oh it's tacky...", " that money could go to charity...", etc. Who the hell gives any of us the right to judge what anyone feels is appropriate for their situation.
If Jessica gets a $60,000 watch how does that make her any less of a good mother or good humanitarian.
Your comments are spot on! +1000
I hope she does get a 60K watch! helluva-lot better than a bouquet of carnations and baby's breath. It's their money. They've earned it, and they have the right to do with it as they please, just like we do.
I'd like to know how much Tazina and Anonymous donated to those boys or any other charity. You don't have to be rich to donate and help other people and WE ALL earn more than some, and less than others. Unless you're Bill Gates. Ha.
Hope noone wants my gifts to go to charity. I like presents. And since a person's charitable donations are their own
business what they get as a gift is also their own business.

WTF?? Who has time to think about a push present or whatever you want to call it, when the delivery and upbringing of a baby consumes a mom for the first several months if not years?? How vain and ungrateful for a time that's so precious. And it's one thing to ask for a nice treat or gift, but to ask for something that costs more than the child's college tuition is ludacris. And yes, c-section is just as heroic and challenging. I had a c-section and it was one of the hardest experiences ever...and my friends and family were to generous to help wherever necessary. That's plenty and more rewarding than any materialistic gift could ever bring.
They are millionaires. 60K is not that much money to them. Besides, she said it was untrue.
There's really nothing to comment on here anymore - she issued a denial on this rumour and regardless, she is a multi-millionaire and if her husband chooses to spend her money on an expensive gift for her, that's his perogative.
Get off your little high horse.
I hate how some mothers are so judgmental about other moms and their choices.
I see nothing wrong with a father buying the mother a present after their child is born! What in the world is wrong with a gift? Maybe you are jealous you never got anything.
Yep. They're just jelly of the price tag. They'd be jealous of a 60K bday present too. Occasion doesn't even matter. Then they try and cover their jealousy with self-righteous comments. Blah blah blah.
I hope the rumor is true and Alba does get the watch. She shouldn't have to apologize for her success/fortune to anyone. I think it's awesome.
