Former E.R. beauty Julianna Margulies and her husband Keith Lieberthal have a brand new baby boy. The couple were married in November and this is their first child.
According to People.com, Julianna's mom has this message playing on her outgoing answering machine message: "A beautiful baby boy has been born to us. All is well. His name is Kieran Lindsay Lieberthal. Is that poetry? Do a little dance. Love this day! All is well. God bless! Can't wait to hear from you."
It's pretty obvious this grandma has gone ga-ga. Congrats!
So here's your afternoon update on what's happening with Britney Spears, since she's been committed to UCLA medical center for treatment of her bipolar disorder.
According to TMZ.com, there has been scene after scene inside the hospital. First, it was Britney's parents against Sam Lufti, both trying to get the doctors to listen to them. Jamie and Lynne Spears reportedly think that Sam is trying to control Britney and want the shady character out of their daughter's life. In the end, the doctors have decided to cooperate with Mama and Daddy Spears (thank G-d!), but, if the battling keeps up, a judge will have to sign an order as to who has control.
In other Britney news, a source says the pop star was on Adderall, a stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder, and was taking up to ten laxatives a day.
Ten laxatives a day? That's crazy. I eat a bowl of Kashi for breakfast and that's my fiber limit for the day. Maybe that's why she's always stopping at gas station bathrooms!
Britney reportedly also accused her mom of "sleeping with my boyfriend." She didn't say which one, but does it really matter? Finally, Britney, who was said to be extremely calm when getting to the hospital, flipped out and "was hurling profanities at her parents and staff."
And there you go.

Matthew McConaughey stepped out with his two favorite women, at last night' premiere of his new flick, Fool's Gold. On Matt's arms were pregnant girlfriend, Camila Alves, and the actor's mom, Mary.
They're not a bad looking trio, huh? Their happiness just jumps out of this photo.
Michelle Williams isn't letting anyone off the hook, even in her time of mourning.
The actress says that Us Weekly's cover story, about Michelle driving Heath Ledger to a rehab facility, where he refused to get out of the car, is a complete lie. The mag also claimed that Michelle insisted Heath get drug tested before he visited with their daughter, Matilda.
"Much of the tabloid reporting is inaccurate," Mara Buxbaum, Michelle's rep, tells CelebTV.com. "This fabricated story of Michelle Williams attempting to bring Heath Ledger to rehab is just one lie among many. The speculation is heinous. Let this family grieve privately."
Chalk one up for the celebrities, as a sneaky paparazzi photographer was arrested after getting a bit too close to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Hollywood home.
The man, who claimed to be a "freelance reporter" was picked up by police, after one of Brangie's housekeepers performed a “private person’s arrest” on the pesky pap.
Way to go Mrs. Garrett! Brad and Angelina know to pick their staff, huh?
If you were Britney Spears's stylist, for the past few months, would you ever admit it? Me neither. But fashion consultant Nancy Rosu is getting her name out there, suing Brit for over $50,000, claiming she hasn't been paid since last August.
According to papers filed in a Las Vegas court, the stylist has bought and sent clothes for Brit and her boys since August '06, and says he is owed $40,000 for the goods, plus "an amount in excess of $10,000" for damages and court costs.
"As a young business owner, my client has been stressed out over keeping everything together. There is over $40,000 of debt, and she just wants to be made whole again," Nancy's lawyer said. "I feel there's just a disconnect here. [Britney's] accountant told us the checks were written and that Britney just needs to sign them."
Well, good luck getting that done. I'm sure, with Britney hospitalized in the mental ward, the first thing on her mind is to sign that stylist's checks.
She's in the psych ward! And she dresses terribly! Just go away, lady!
Oh, Paris!
If there is ever the tiniest bit of attention to get, Paris Hilton will get it. The socialite's latest eye-popping behavior has her lovin' it up at Tenjune in NYC, with actress Elisha Cuthbert. According to an onlooker, the girls were "all over each other and making out."
Paris and Elisha co-star in the new movie House of Wax, and I'm sure this little public display of affection wasn't so that more people would go see it, though Elisha's rep denies the incident took place at all.
I would be so much more interested in this story if Paris wasn't so obvious.
Uma, Baby. Baby, Uma.
I wonder if that's what the scene will be like when Uma Thurman meets ex-husband, Ethan Hawke's, new little one. The actor and his girlfriend, Ryan Shawhughes, who was Ethan & Uma's former nanny (yikes!), are expecting their first child together. It's actually baby No. 3 for Ethan, who has two other kiddies with his ex.
"I can confirm and they are thrilled," Ethan's rep tells the Associated Press. "No further details will be made available."
By further details did she mean, like, how pissed Uma is?
Britney Spears was taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center last night and was put back on that 72-hour hold, indicating that medical professionals feel she could be a danger to herself or someone else. It was another big scene outside her home, as mobs of paparazzi and police lined the streets.
Earlier online reports claimed the pop star had attempted suicide, but TMZ.com says it's just not true. Britney willingly went to the hospital, after a visit from her new psychiatrist, who has been treating her for bipolar disorder. According to reports, Brit's doc was convinced to send her to the hospital after another bout of "reckless driving" and what was said to be "erratic behavior" from Britney. The psychiatrist felt her condition had deteriorated in the past few days.
At Britney's home, during the all of the hoopla, was her mom, Lynne, Sam Lufti and Alli Simms. Brit's boyfriend, Adnan, was around, too, as he and Lynne drove to the hospital together. Sources say Lynne was very upset that Britney was getting committed.
Upset? She should be thrilled -- obviously this is the only way.

The couple were spotted at a very non-Hollywood place, Ye Coach & Horses in LA, trying to fly under the radar. A spy for the Los Angeles Times described their interaction as "canoodling."
Last we saw Christina she was making out with her ex-husband, Jonathon Schaech. Guess that reunion didn't go over well.
Anyway, we think Zach is super cute -- back in September we picked him as one of our Sexy Guys of Fall TV.
I guess Christina agrees.
This new photo of Gwen Stefani totally reminded me of my days working at Soap Opera Digest. How I loved to see the shows would hide an actress' burgeoning baby belly, when the writers decided against writing the pregnancy into the story. All of a sudden, women who never went to the supermarket a day in their lives were carrying bags and bags of groceries, or lugging colorfully wrapped, giant presents to someone's house. One soap character was tied, face-down, to a bed for months, while the actress' belly was sitting in a hole that the set designers cut out of the mattress!
So, this must be Gwen's homage to the world of soap operas -- hiding her brand new baby belly under mounds of bags and clothing. Thanks for the giggle, Gwen!
Spies say the two were having a spectacular time in the Bahamas, doing all those things that hot Hollywood couples do. "He has a house down there, and they were frolicking on the beach," says a witness. "They were definitely smooching."
Scott totally has that sexy thing going on, but I always wanted Felicity to pick Noel. He was just a lot more sensitive and a lot less stupid. Not that any of that would matter to Cameron.
