What a Christmas it will be around Chris O’Donnell’s house—Santa’s going to be spending extra time there this year now that he has a seventh stocking to fill.
According to news reports, the Grey’s Anatomy alum and his wife just welcomed their fifth child, a daughter they named Maeve Frances O’Donnell.
O’Donnell’s rep says Maeve was 8 lbs. and 21½ inches long when she was born December 10th in Los Angeles. She joins sister Lily, 8, and brothers Chip, 7; Charlie, 4; Finley, 20 months.
CNN anchor Campbell Brown and her husband Dan Senor will have a Christmas they won’t soon forget now that their first child is here.
The former “Weekend Today” anchor gave birth to a boy yesterday.
According to Brown’s rep, Eli James Senor was born at exactly 10 a.m. and weighed 8 lbs. He is named in the memory of his grandfather, James Senor.
The first time parents were married in April 2006 and earlier this year Brown announced she was jumping ship from NBC to CNN to anchor her own primetime news show.
The 39-year-old new mom kicks off a mini baby boom at the all news network: morning anchor Kiran Chetry is expecting her second child early next year.
And The Sun is now reporting that British singer Lily Allen is expecting her first child with boyfriend Ed Simons. The 22-year-old is reportedly due to give birth next summer.
Allen and Simons, a member of the musical group The Chemical Brothers, began dating three months ago.
Finally, Michael Douglas has just given birth to new role that he says will be part of his legacy as a celebrity.
The 63-year-old actor-producer is the new voice of NBC’s “Nightly News” intro. (He’s the voice introducing anchor Brian Williams.)
For 25 years that job belonged to Howard Reig who introduced the broadcast live each night. Since Reig retired two years ago “Nightly News” had been using tapes of his voice. That was until Williams phoned Douglas and asked for his assistance.
“I appealed to Michael’s sense of romance and sentimentality and his love of the industry,” Williams said. “I called him and said, ‘On top of all you’ve done as an actor, producer and Academy Award winner, this will mean a small slice of immortality in our industry. It also means wherever you are on Earth, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, you’ll know your voice is on the air.'”
It worked and now Douglas is filling a role that on CBS is handled by Walter Cronkite, whose taped voice introduces Katie Couric each night.
