"Up In The Air" actress Vera Farmiga, who looks stunning in the film, says she needed the money so badly that she started filming for the movie only two weeks after welcoming son Fynn.

Supermodel Giselle Bundchen, who is married to Tom Brady, gave birth to son Benjamin in December 2009. The Brazilian beauty, who gained 30 pounds during her pregnancy, is set to show off her post-baby figure on the cover of the April issue of Vogue.

Alba, married to Cash Warren, looked stunning as she posed for OK! magazine with six-week-old Honor Marie.
She said at the time: "I do cardio on my own. I'm doing it slow. Now I'm starting to eat more healthy. Because after working out, having fried chicken and mashed potatoes is a little counteractive."
