Have they stopped having babies in Hollywood? So far, 2010 is proving to be one of the slowest years for new celebrity babies since we started keeping track more than four years ago.

Still, there is some hope that 2010 won’t be a total bust. Celebrities expecting babies include Kevin Costner (any day now); Céline Dion, who’s expecting twins in November; John Travolta and Kelly Preston; Alicia Keys; Jessica Capshaw; Matt Damon (again!);Amy Poehler; Jeff Gordon (boy coming in August); Danica McKellar (Wonder Years star, due in fall) and Chris Daughtry (twins in November).

Meanwhile, Sheryl Crow adopted a second son in early May. Levi James joins 3 year-old Wyatt at Crow’s home, according to her website.

When I saw that four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon and his wife, Belgian-born actress/model Ingrid Vandebosch, are expecting a boy in August, it reminded me of how they announced the arrival of their daughter Ella Sofia back in 2007. They put a birth announcement on Gordon’s website, and included Gordon’s upcoming racing schedule at the bottom.

This time around they released the news of their upcoming baby with no commercial interruptions at all.

Gordon fans loved the name Ella Sofia last time around, so I wanted to get out in front on this one. What do you think would be a good name for the new boy in the Gordon household? What would go well with Ella Sofia? We’ve got til August to come up with some ideas!

It’s been two weeks since we last posted, so here’s a roundup of new celebrity baby names since Kevin Costner went all Western:

Actress Constance Marie, 43, who starred as Angie Lopez on ABC’s George Lopez, is a new mom. Her daughter Luna was born February 5 in Santa Monica.

Spice Girl Melanie Chisolm, 35, welcomed a baby girl on February 22. The baby is named Scarlet, and is the first child for Chisolm, and her boyfriend Thomas Starr.

Supermodel Niki Taylor, 33, and her Nascar-racing husband, Burney Lamar, became the parents of a baby girl named Ciel on March 4.

Celebrities who are expecting a bundle include Mira Sorvino; Charlie Sheen (twins); Josh Turner; Nicole Richie; Tommy Hilfiger; Julie Bowen, and Nicole Sulivan.
