The Celebrity Baby Blog was created during the Golden Globes in January 2004 when Danielle realized she knew way too much about pregnant celebrities to not do something with the knowledge.
Founder/Publisher:
A lifelong New Yorker, Danielle Friedland recently abandoned the city of her birth for greener pastures, aka Maplewood, NJ. She and her husband Josh welcomed their first child, Anya Lucia, on October 14th, 2005. She runs the Celebrity Baby Blog full-time, the best job she's ever had.
She blogs about Anya occasionally- follow her pregnancy up through the Anya updates here.
Prior to the Celebrity Baby Blog empire, Danielle toiled for the Sales Leadership, Training, and Events departments at Avon Products, which she credits for teaching her how to treat her blog like a business. She has also worked in technical support for a sexist pig who made her wear skirt suits even though she was crawling under desks all day, and as a web producer before the dotcom bubble burst.

Angela lives in Virginia and is the chair of Relay For Life in her community. Prior to becoming the News/Photo Editor, she was CBB's Sports Contributor. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her fiance (whom she's marrying in December), family, reading, and watching sports.
