Jem Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 'Dancing with the Stars' Champ Becomes a Father Drew Lachey and wife Lea welcome a baby girl to the family Drew LacheyLOS ANGELES -- Drew Lachey has a significantly prettier prize to bring home after snagging the garish "Dancing with the Stars" trophy. The former 98 Degrees member and his wife Lea became the parents to a baby girl on Thursday, March 23, according to published reports. The couple's first child was born in Los Angeles. No additional details were given. At the time of the "Dancing with the Stars" February finale, fans of the show were afraid that Lea's pregnancy would interfere with Drew's terpsichore triumph. Evidently the baby was polite enough to wait a month and not upstage her dad. Lea and Drew, both 29, were childhood and high school sweethearts who married in October 2000 in Cincinnati. Drew credits Lea, who was a dancer and choreographer for 98 Degrees, for his success in the reality dance show. Professional partner Cheryl Burke might have had something to do with it too. Drew is also the brother of fellow 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey and the soon-to-be ex brother-in-law to Jessica Simpson. Lachey will take a break from changing diapers to co-host the Miss USA pageant in Baltimore on Friday, April 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV_Paige Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Baby News 'Tiny Dancer' for Drew Lachey Drew Lachey Forget "Dancing with the Stars," champ Drew Lachey has a much more prized title now: Daddy. Lachey and wife Lea, both 29, welcomed their first child, a baby girl, daughter Isabella Claire Lachey, on Thursday, March 23, in Los Angeles, California. Lachey's representative released the "Tiny Dancer's" vital statistics as weighing in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. However, no details were released about the newborn girl's toe-tapping prowess. "Mom, dad and baby are all happy and healthy," publicist Holly Shakoor said in a statement. As are Uncle Nick and the babe's grandparents. "We are thrilled and very excited about it all!" Lea's father, Dan Urra, who flew to Los Angeles earlier this week with his wife to be with their delivering daughter, told Us Magazine. Drew Lachey as Mark in 'Rent' Drew Lachey, who formerly crooned in 98 Degrees along with big brother Nick, has known the former Lea Dellecave nearly as long before tying the knot in October 2000. The two met in fifth grade, were high school sweethearts and, unlike Nick, even maintained their romance amid a professional partnership: Lea Lachey is a choreographer and dancer who toured with 98 Degrees in both capacitites. And her coaching apparently paid off. Last month, Drew Lachey and professional dance partner, Cheryl Burke took home the coveted--if, as he noted, "ugly"--trophy as winners of ABC's second season of "Dancing with the Stars." During the competition, he even credited his pregnant wife with "helping me with my posture, my feet," per People Magazine. As for his post-victory plans, Lachey was already looking forward to some quality hoofing time with his sure-to-be daddy's girl. "In a couple of years my daughter will be cutting a rug around me," he said at the time. "I'll hold her hands, and she'll be dancing on my feet. I'm looking forward to that." Cheryl Burke and Drew Lachey Burke, meanwhile, said she expects her partner to be as proficient at fatherhood as on the dance floor. "He's going to be a great father," she told People. "He will not spoil his child, that's for sure. But he's so loving and he's going to love his baby like no other." While Lachey is priming up for a major bout of diaper duty, he will get a temporary, and likely welcome, reprieve next month. The new papa has just been named as co-host of the Miss USA 2006 Pageant on April 21 alongside "Access Hollywood's" Nancy O'Dell. The event airs live on NBC from Baltimore, Maryland.

TV_Paige Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Engagement News 'Biggest Losers' Matt and Suzy Gain Love 'Today' Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston They signed up to lose the pounds. But ended up finding love. And now, they hope it will last a lifetime. "Biggest Loser" lovebirds Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston are now engaged. Matt popped the question to Suzy on NBC's "Today" morning show on Tuesday, March 28. "Suzy has no idea our relationship is about to get a little closer, I hope," Matt said in front of the "Today" show audience, and millions watching on TV, as an unsuspecting Suzy looked on. "I have gone through a lot of changes in the last year. You've seen me at my worst and you've seen me change into a man that you love," Matt said, as he dropped to one knee on national television. "Suzy, I want to keep changing and I want you to be by my side." Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston He then opened up the ring case, showing Suzy the bling. "I've had this made for you and if you'd like to have that, I'd like to give it to you and ask you to be my wife," he said. After a short pause, a big smile crossed Suzy's face and she happily said "Yes" as she bounced around in excitement before Matt put the ring on her finger. Congratulations quickly came from the "Today" hosts and Al Roker asked the new bride-to-be if she had any idea the proposal was coming. "No," she beamed. "I'm shaking," Matt said afterwards. "Today" show host Lester Holt joked that he was worried for a moment when Suzy paused before giving her answer. "I've never been asked before," she laughed. "I wasn't sure when I was supposed to say it." Holt joked, "Usually pretty quickly." Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston "I didn't know if she was going to say yes or not," Matt smiled. Matt thinks their shared experiences as finalists on "Loser" (he won the $250,000 grand prize; she took home $25,000 as second runner-up) gives their romance a unique foundation. "We have a lot in common. Going through something like we went through is life-changing. We are not the same people we were before all this and we are both at a point in our lives where we know what it's like to be fat and miserable - and what it's like to be happy and healthy," Matt said. The happy couple recently tried their hand at acting, with a cameo on the daytime soap "Passions." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV_Paige Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Pregnancy and Engagement News First Comes Love for Gyllenhaal Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal You know the old childhood saying . . . first comes love, next comes marriage then comes the couple with a baby carriage. Good news apparently comes in twos for actors Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard. Not only is the indie movie queen expecting her first child with longtime beau Peter Sarsgaard, but they are also engaged. According to reports by People magazine, It'll be the first marriage for both actors. Let's just hope they don't go for a hyphenated last name. For spell check's sake. No further details are known; there was no immediate comment Tuesday from either actor's representative. The twosome has been together for an impressive-by-Hollywood-standards four years after meeting on the set of Steven Soderbergh's 2003 low-budget and never-released drama, "In God's Hands." Though clearly the experience wasn't a total bust. Since then, they have kept a relatively low public profile, even as their respective film careers have increasingly put them in the spotlight. Gyllenhaal, 28, has more than 20 films to her credit. She broke through to the big leagues in 2002's S&M-themed drama "Secretary," for which she received a Golden Globe. She has since starred in "Mona Lisa Smile," "Adaptation" and "Happy Endings," and has been lauded in the press as an avant-garde fashionista. Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal For his part, Sarsgaard, 35, has appeared in more than 25 films, most recently "Flightplan," "Garden State," "Kinsey" and "Jarhead," which he starred opposite future brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal. Sarsgaard earned a Golden Globe nomination for his turn in 2003's "Shattered Glass." While this has been Gyllenhaal's first public romance, Sarsgaard was previously linked with model Shalom Harlow. If a wedding to plan and a nursery to get in order wasn't enough, Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard have plenty to keep them busy in the coming months. Gyllenhaal has several films awaiting release, including the French romance "Paris, Je T'aime", set to premiere at Cannes next month, as well as the all-star comedy, "Stranger Than Fiction", with Will Ferrell, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah and Emma Thompson, due in November. Gyllenhaal also hits screens in the Oliver Stone upcoming 9-11 drama, "World Trade Center," in August. Sarsgaard, meanwhile, is of to London later this month to film "Small Tragedy," about the behind-the-scenes shenanigans during a production of "Oedipus Rex."

TV_Paige Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Pregnancy News Double Blessing for Melissa Etheridge by Stephen M. Silverman Tammy Lynn Michaels and Melissa Etheridge Melissa Etheridge and partner Tammy Lynn Michaels are sharing some major family news with their fans. "We are thrilled to announce that Tammy is pregnant, and expecting our twins sometime around this fall," the singer and the actress say in a joint statement on Etheridge's official Web site. "To answer the obvious question: We used an anonymous donor from a bank," the statement continues. Etheridge, 44, and Michaels, 31, who has acted on TV's "Popular" and "The L Word," married in Malibu in September 2003. Etheridge already had two children from a previous relationship with Julie Cypher: daughter Bailey Jean, born in 1997, and son Beckett, born in 1998. The couple makes reference to the children in the Web statement: "These are our first two babies conceived together, but not our first time mothering together," says the posting. "For the past five years, we have been parenting two children from a previous time in Melissa's life. The twins will be a joyful addition to our loving home." Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels The message concludes by saying, "We are a blessed family, and ask that no gifts be sent. Any gifts we receive we will donate to a local women's shelter. However, well wishes are more than welcome!" Bailey Jean and Beckett were conceived via artificial insemination courtesy of friend and rock legend David Crosby. But last August Etheridge said that, while she and Michaels were planning to have a child together, this time the donor would not be Crosby. "Been there, done that," she told TV's "Extra." Melissa Etheridge on stage at the Grammys Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2004 and underwent chemotherapy. She made her post-chemo stage debut at last year's Grammys, where she stopped the show with her rendition of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" and her bald head, a result of her treatment. Etheridge credited Michaels as being instrumental in her battle against cancer. "When it was over, I came home to a bouquet that said 'In sickness and in health,' and she means it," the singer told Extra in an interview. "And the love and support of someone like that is worth all the money in the world." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baby weighed in at 7 lbs. and measured 20 inches. Shields, 40, and husband Chris Henchy, 42, who wed in 2001, also have a daughter, Rowan, who will be 3 next month. Just last month, the couple celebrated the impending birth of their second child at a Moroccan-themed baby shower hosted by actor Steven Weber and his wife, Juliette Hohnen, at their Los Angeles home. "Brooke was simply glowing all evening," her friend, event planner Jo Gartin, who organized the fete, told People. Of her second go-around as an expectant mom, Shields said, "This pregnancy has been a lot easier." The actress suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her first child. She wrote a book on the subject, "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression." A very pregnant Brooke Shields on a stroll with her husband, Chris Henchy Shields has spoken out about her use of antidepressants and appeared last year as an advocate of a particular pharmaceutical company that had been instrumental in helping her get through her crisis. She was famously criticized by Tom Cruise, who as a Scientologist opposes psychiatry and prescription medication to battle depression. This time Shields, who had trouble getting pregnant the first time, did not need the IVF treatments required to conceive Rowan. "And nothing is going to shock me anymore. I am more prepared," she explained. Though, she admits, not everyone is ready for the new addition. "I said to Rowan, 'The baby is going to live in our house.' There was a long pause, then she looked at me and said, 'She is going to live in my house?'" Shields said with a laugh. "But she's been helping me decorate the room. It's been sweet. I'm glad she'll have a sibling." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV_Paige Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The irony continues in the two births. They were actually born in the same hospital and only a few doors down from one another. The only differences are their parents, exact time of birth and a few little ounces of birth weight. Here are their stats side by side: Grier Shields..............Suri Cruise Girl.............................Girl April 18, 2006...........April 18, 2006 7 lbs............................7 lbs 7 oz 20 inches....................20 inches St. John's Hospital......St. John's Hospital Santa Monica...............Santa Monica There's one other possible similarity.

TV_Paige Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Baby News Shaq and Kobe Vie on Court and Nursery Vanessa and Kobe Bryant And you thought Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal only competed on the basketball court. This morning, it was a sprint to the nursery. Just like old times, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal are celebrating. The former Lakers teammates became fathers again Monday, May 1, when their wives gave birth to daughters only six minutes apart. Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant was born at 2:03 a.m. PDT in Orange County, California. Kobe and Vanessa Bryant are already parents to 3-year-old Natalia. "The arrival of our new daughter Gianna early this morning is such an incredible blessing for me and my family," Bryant said in a statement. "We are all full of beautiful emotions after such an incredible day." Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal became parents for the sixth time when Mearah Sanaa O'Neal was born at 4:57 a.m. EDT in a South Florida hospital. It's the third girl for the O'Neals, with Mearah joining sisters Taahirah and Amirah and brothers Myles, Shareef and Shaqir, who turned three last month. Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal Both mothers and their new babies were said to be doing well. Fatherhood helped O'Neal and Bryant end the feud that led to the breakup of their pairing with the Lakers. When the Miami Heat played at Los Angeles in January, O'Neal congratulated Bryant on the birth of his daughter and the impending birth of the second one. Bryant and O'Neal are both in the playoffs. Bryant's winning shot in overtime Sunday gave the Lakers a 99-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns and a 3-1 lead in their series. The Heat and Chicago Bulls are tied at two games apiece in their series. Bryant didn't attend practice Monday or travel with his teammates to Phoenix for Game 5, to be played Tuesday night. "I told him not to worry about that, to come when he can and get the rest he needs," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "Hopefully he'll get there tonight, or if not, shootaround tomorrow. There's a huge emotional feeling about having a child that's just beyond belief. We're happy for him. The timing's right, he'll have some rest, but I'm sure it's not easy to sleep after all those things happen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Johnson's spokesman Elliot Mintz, the tyke was born at a Los Angeles hospital. The new arrival tipped the scales at 7 pounds even while measuring up at a 21 inches. Both mother and baby are said to be doing well, but the proud papa was a bit more effusive with his state of being. Mintz reports the actor was "over the moon times six" with the birth of his newest offspring. The Johnsons already have a six-year-old daughter, Grace, and a son, Jasper, who is almost four. The former Nash Bridges star also has two children from two prior marriages: 23-year-old son Jesse, whom he had with actress Patti D'Arbanville; and 16-year-old Dakota, his daughter with ex-wife Melanie Griffith. Kelly and Don Johnson It's been a banner week for Johnson, who up until recently has been in the headlines for his share--well, more than their share--of financial woes. The 56-year-old pastel-donning patriarch shelled out $14.5 million last week to ensure his newly expanded brood had a home. Johnson scraped together the pocket change to settle a delinquent debt and save his Aspen, Colorado, ranch from foreclosure. The financial problems were nothing new for Johnson, who previously averted foreclosure in 2004 by forking over nearly $930,000 to a Los Angeles bank. The same year, he was sued by an Aspen grocery store for failing to make good on a $5,740 IOU. But Johnson's not out of the legal woods just yet. He's still facing a lawsuit filed last year after he allegedly backed out of a deal to put his Aspen estate up for auction. The auction house, Sheldon Good & Co., claims it had spent upwards of $100,000 in preliminary marketing and is seeking a full reimbursement.
