Congrats to Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber!
The couple are proud to announce the birth of their first child – a baby boy.
Alexander Pete Schreiber, who was born at 3:59 p.m. in Los Angeles, weighs 8 lbs., 4 oz, and is 22.5 inches long, according to a rep for Watts.
The couple first began dating in February 2005.
Liev stayed out of picking the babies name. All he wanted was for the baby not to be named after himself as he says his name, Liev, is probably the most mispronounced name in show-biz.
Wordless Wednesday
Ashley Olsen was in Mexico this past weekend and here’s a few photos of her doing one of the strangest workouts that I’ve ever seen.
Feel free to send us photos of your own strange exercise routine.

In the latest issue of Oprah Winfreys magazine she reveals that she was shattered when a relative, in 1990, told the world that she had a baby at the tender age of fourteen. Winfrey is writing about her “First Betrayal” as per the February issue’s theme “My first”.
The relative that Oprah feels betrayed her had told the National Enquirer that Winfrey had given birth to a baby who later died in the hospital a few weeks later. The associated press identified the blabbing relative as Oprahs half sister Patricia Lloyd. Oprah says her relative “sat in a room, told them the story of my hidden shame and left their offices $19,000 richer.”
When Oprah found out, she writes “I took to my bed and cried for three days. I felt devastated. Wounded. Betrayed. How could this person do this to me?”
Before the article came out, she says, “Only my family and closest friends knew. I would tell no one until I felt safe enough to share my dark past: the years I was sexually abused, from age 10 to 14, my resulting promiscuity as a teenager, and finally, at 14, my becoming pregnant.”
“I imagined that every person on the street was going to point their finger at me and scream, ‘Pregnant at 14, you wicked girl … expelled!’ ”
She came to find that “No one said a word … not strangers, not even people I knew. I was shocked. Nobody treated me differently. For 20 years, I had been expecting a reaction that never came.
“And I soon realized that having the secret out was liberating. … What I learned for sure was that holding the shame was the greatest burden of all.”
I would never have thought a star would look on the internet for love, but Alec Baldwin has said he might dip into the online dating scene. At least that’s what he said when being interviewed for the February issue of glamour.
“I could post my picture and say, ‘People tell me I look like Alec Baldwin.’ They’ll go, ‘Oh, I hate him’ or ‘Who the hell is he?’ ”
Badwin, 48, has been linked to various women since his break up with his ex Kim Basinger. Some of the women include Kristin Davis and Lawyer Nicole Seidel.
“You meet people who are great, but they’re not who you want to turn the lights out with,” he says of life as a single man. He said that he’d like to feel the kind of love that he had with Basinger, even though he’s now in a custody battle with her over their 11 year old daughter Ireland.
“I would love to marry. I want to be in love again,” Baldwin says. “I was in love when I was married, I’m not ashamed to say. I used to wake up in the morning and just look at (Kim) and say, ‘What do you want for breakfast, baby? Special K with blueberries? Let me go get some.’ ”
When asked if he’s interested in having more children with the right woman “Yes,” he replies. “The only time I’m truly happy is with my daughter. I can’t think that this is my only shot at fatherhood.”
I don’t think I’ve told my readers here that I write several blogs. One of the blogs that I write is called “Watching House” and it’s on the 451press.com network of blogs.
I just found out that they are having a comment contest. I believe it started on January 8th and runs through to the end of the month. You could win $500 just for leaving a comment on any of the 451press blogs – with the exception of the main 451press.com blog itself.
You see, 451press is a new network of blogs. I believe the network began in October with a call for writers for various blog topics. I answered a call for new bloggers in late November and I was signed on to write my Watching House blog that discusses the TV show House M.D..
I do write ups of House, show recaps, discuss various aspects of the show and the stars that play each character. I also spend a lot of time writing about the gorgeous Hugh Laurie and his life outside of the show.
I’m not quite sure just how many blogs are in our network now but I believe it’s well over 100 blogs. I’m sure that if you come to visit you’ll find several blogs on topics from your favorite TV shows, Favorite Celebrities, Home and Garden, Books, Sports and leisure and many other categories that you’d be pleased to read and leave a comment on for your chance to win $500.
All you need to do for a chance to win is to leave a quality comment on any of the 451press blogs. You need to write a comment that contributes to the blog, or the post in particular on which you are leaving your comment. Every qualifying comment made on the 451 press blogs between now and January 31st will be entered into a random drawing for prizes. Every comment that you leave will count as an entry. Just remember you comments must be of quality – not just a “hello, great site” as that won’t count.
Here’s a list of the prizes:
We will award six prizes to the six randomly chosen comments from this month. There will be one (1) $500 cash prize and five (5) $100 cash prizes. We will contact the winning commenters using the email address they enter with the comment. Comments made through January 31st will be entered in the contest and the winners will be announced on February 1st.
So what are you waiting for? Start at my Watching House Blog and then scroll to the bottom of the page that you’re on to see the wide variety of blog categories and visit another one of my fellow 451press bloggers sites and leave them a comment too.
