Angelina Jolie speaks at a meeting about education for Iraqi children on April 8

Is political activism genetic? Angelina Jolie tells People she "felt kicking suddenly" while she was "in the middle" of promoting the Education Partnership for Children in Conflict program Tuesday in Washington, D.C., where she joined a panel to discuss the 1 million Iraqi children displaced by the war. "The best way to heal children of conflict from trauma is to have them focus on their future," she urged the Council on Foreign Relations (via Reuters). "Every child has a right to education and conflict is not a reason to ignore that." The fertile do-gooder, who was in town with sons Maddox, 6, and Pax, 4, (Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 22 months, stayed with dad Brad Pitt), remained mum on the contents of her bulging belly, although twin talk continues unabated. Said Jolie simply, "It is a very special time in our lives."

Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani and their son Kingston in L.A., Calif. on April 5

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale apparently prefer to be surprised in the delivery room. In a sit-down Wednesday with Ryan Seacrest, the sometime British rocker (he has a solo album coming out) says they are in the dark over whether son Kingston, who turns 2 next month, will get a little brother or sister. "We don't know [the gender]," said Rossdale. "It was a surprise last time so we're kind of working on that this time." When quizzed about potential names, Gavin said they wouldn't choose anything "too crazy," adding, "There's so much pressure on the poor guy or poor girl. Kingston set a pretty intense standard!"

In other baby name news, Star is convinced Jessica Alba wants to dub her tyke -- rumored to be a girl -- Honor, because she feels it's an honor to have fiancé Cash Warren's baby (she may rethink that after going into labor, when names such as "Agony" and "Oh, God, when will it end?" and "I hate you!" spring to mind). Meanwhile, People reports the expectant starlet received oodles of pink gifts from the estimated 40 friends and family who gathered for her baby shower last Sunday in Los Angeles.

Looks like relations between Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady remain frosty. According to Us, the exes steered clear of one another last week when the football star visited their 7-month-old son in Los Angeles with girlfriend Gisele Bundchen.

"She wants to keep everything between the baby and Tom private," a source tells the mag of Moynahan, who revealed she was pregnant two months after she and Brady called it quits.
