Nicky Hilton Shares Breastfeeding Photo in Support of New Infant Feeding Campaign
The entrepreneur, 41, has teamed up with Nara Organics in support of The 2am Club, a social campaign which aims to share insight into the pressures placed on mothers during their feeding journeys and the urgent need for maternal mental health advocacy.
To announce the partnership, Hilton shared a personal photo of herself breastfeeding one of her three children via Instagram on Friday, June 6.
'Each person's feeding journey is unique, and I'm excited to support @Narababy as an investor,' she wrote alongside the photo, in which she looks at the camera as her newborn nurses. 'Their innovative baby formula, launching this spring, is something I'm truly proud to be a part of. Share your feeding confession at 2amclub.com.'
Celebrity Moms Share Breast-Feeding Pictures
Spearheaded by celebrity moms Hilton, Karla Souza, Jordan Foster and Katie Lee, 'The 2 AM Club invites all parents to share raw, unfiltered 'feeding confessions' through voice notes, short written stories, and photos, offering an honest look at what feeding really feels like,' a press release shared with Us Weekly read. 'The goal is to normalize the hard, the beautiful, and everything in between, especially during those isolating, sleep-deprived hours when self-doubt creeps in.'
Hilton shares daughters Teddy, 7, and Lily-Grace, 8, and son Chasen, 2, with her husband, James Rothschild. In her post, she shared that she breastfed all three of her children, but not without challenges.
'While I enjoyed the moments of bonding, the latching was often painful,' she shared via Instagram. 'I didn't find breastfeeding as effortlessly as I'd hoped. Plus there was so much pressure to keep going because it's what society tells us we should do. The expectations placed on mothers can be overwhelming. We're just trying our best, and feeding our children — whether through breastfeeding or bottle-feeding shouldn't come with guilt or judgment. You have to listen to your body and do what feels right.'
Other moms shared their photos and stories as well, with Souza, 39, tandem nursing two of her three babies in a photo shared by The 2am Club and Lee, 43, noting that 'breastfeeding worked really well' for her and daughter Iris, now 4.
Foster, 39, also posted a photo from her feeding journey via Instagram Stories on Friday and wrote, 'I'm grateful to have this community for round 3. As hard as newborn things are, it's the feeding I'm most nervous for every time.'
Kathy Hilton Defends Paris Hilton Against Mom-Shamers: I 'Totally Understood' the Diaper Dilemma
Jordan, the style director of Favorite Daughter and sister of Erin and Sara Foster, added that she's most jealous of 'those that breastfeed without difficulty.'
'With my third baby, I plan to introduce formula much earlier and feel relieved that I will do so without any guilt,' Jordan, who's expecting her third child, shared.

Kelly Clarkson cancels Texas benefit concert appearance after ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's death
Kelly Clarkson has pulled out of an upcoming concert appearance at an event slated to take place this weekend following the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The singer's ex, to whom she was married from 2013 to 2020, died on Aug. 3 following a yearslong private battle with melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. He was 48. Prior to Blackstock's passing, the 'Breakaway' hitmaker was due to perform onstage at Band Together Texas — a live music event created country stars Parker McCollum and Miranda Lambert.

PapCulture / BACKGRID The benefit gig, which takes place on Aug. 17, will raise funds to support those who were affected by the July floods in the Lone Star State. 'Unfortunately, Kelly Clarkson will be unable to appear at Band Together Texas as planned, due to personal circumstances,' the concert's organizers wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story, per People.

Fans split on Golden State Valkyries' new mascot
The Golden State Valkyries' new mascot was unveiled this week — and she's a cutie (to me, at least). Driving the news: Violet, easily identifiable by her round glasses and big grin, is a raven who knows how to break it down on the dance floor. Our Instagram followers reacted with divided fervor. What they're saying:"Instantly iconic," @anoyes commented, while @shaketini said, "I like her glasses!!" "I could see her visiting different areas of the Bay, learning the dances, getting to know all the cultures that make up the Bay Area," @spottedgiraffe2777 added. One of our readers, Margaret R., also wrote in enthusiastically: "I am OBSESSED with Violet. Liberty can't take up all the mascot rizz." (The New York Liberty's mascot is Ellie the Elephant.) Yes, but: Not everyone reacted with cheer. "I feel like it would have been a bit cooler to lean into the actual valkirye theme and maybe ... give her some cool armor or a weapon," @soaphia.g noted. "Too much cute," @garden22nd agreed. "Why is she portrayed as SEXY? ... And not in a cool, swaggy way, but more like in a designed-for-the-male-gaze-Dallas-Cowboys-Cheerleaders style? It's just not right for our team of strong, capable women," @goldenstatehaze commented. Between the lines: Ravens are known as Valkyries' counterparts in Norse mythology and are considered guardians of good fortune.

Teyana Taylor Talks Aaron Pierre And Health Issues As Instyle's Latest Cover Star
Source: Kristina Bumphrey / Getty Teyana Taylor is booked and busy, but she took a little of her limited downtime to talk to InStyle and appear as one of their Imagemakers covers. Taylor revealed recently that she's has to have vocal cord surgery, which happened just about the time she was scheduled to drop her album Escape Room on Aug. 22. 'I've been quietly dealing with some vocal challenges for a while now,' Taylor posted on her Instagram Stories. 'And after a lot of back and forth with my doctors, I've been told I need vocal surgery immediately. They found a noncancerous growth on one of my cords that's been messing with my voice and causing real discomfort. Thankfully, we caught it & it's treatable—but it does mean I need to pause and give myself time to fully heal.' Taylor, 34, is on a generational run with a slate of five movie and TV projects on the way with co-stars like Leonard DiCaprio and collaborators like Ryan Murphy, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Kim Kardashian. The first, One Battle After Another with DiCaprio and Sean Penn, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, comes out Sept. 26. All's Fair, a Ryan Murphy legal drama series with Kardashian, Niecy Nash and Sarah Paulson, is headed to Hulu this fall. Escape Room is her first musical project in five years, and the 'visual album's' single, 'Bed of Roses,' included some provocative shots with her rumored boyfriend, British actor Aaron Pierre whose breakthrough role in Netflix's Ruby Ridge propelled him to stardom. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. She told InStyle that she didn't want to talk much about it, but did say, 'I just go with the flow, and I'm trying things a little differently' this time. 'Just protecting my peace and privacy.' She did say that none of the crumbs dropped about their relationship, including photos from a post-Oscar party or footage from his birthday party in June, were an attempt at a 'hard launch' of their relationship. She is a little more forthcoming with Nessa Diab, the Hot 97 personality who is also (as she recently confirmed) Colin Kaepernick's wife. When asked directly if she was dating Pierre, Taylor said again that she wanted to try 'something different.' 'People are praying on your downfall,' she said. 'People are praying on the health that you are building. What me and Aaron have is very healthy. It's very gentle, and it's very soft, and it's very kind, and it's very sweet, and it's very warm, and it's one of the best feelings that I've ever had. And most importantly, it's so safe. And I don't want us to be robbed of that. He's so special to me.' Escape Room is expected to come out on schedule. One of the unique features of the release is spoken word interludes from actors including Taraji P. Henson, Paulson, Jodie Turner-Smith and Kerry Washington. Taylor says that while surgery came just as she was heavily promoting the album's release, sometimes life hands you the break you need. 'It's always easier to go to work when it's with people that you love, cherish, and appreciate, and when it's with people that don't play about you,' she told InStyle. 'I've had a lot of ups and downs within this music industry, like my love-hate relationship with music, different things like that. Escape Room is for people to escape anything .' She added, 'There are a million things that could and will break your heart. Whether it's a relationship, whether it's a business 'ship, whether it's leaving a company, anything that does not serve you, does not see you, appreciate you, value you, you must escape—sometimes even including ourselves. Sometimes we go through these stages where we're just not us. Sometimes you gotta escape back to yourself. Escape back to the best version of you.'
