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 The Hottie and the Nottie, 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?
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.
Everyone was so looking forward to getting a glimpse at Amy Winehouse at the Grammys, either to see the huge improvement she's made since checking to rehab, or to witness the train wreck on live television. But Amy's dad says, if he has it his way, you won't be seeing his daughter at all on music's big night.
"I'm not sure the Grammys are going to happen," Wino's dad said. "I don't want her to go - I think it might be a bit too soon for her."
The singer is nominated in six categories, and was slotted to perform, but her old man thinks the pressure may break his daughter -- even though she is currently getting help.
"She's not well - that's why she's in rehab. But she's doing OK. She is getting good treatment."
What do you think? Should Amy show?

Ah, a story as sweet as pie!
American Pie star Jason Biggs has gotten engaged to girlfriend Jenny Mollen. "It happened recently," Jase told UsMagazine.com. "He asked me over and over again ever since we met!" the actor's lady laughed. "I asked her the first night we met," Jason admitted.
Awww.
Jason and Jenny have been dating since the summer, and just recently worked together on the new comedy My Best Friend's Girl.
"I had never dated an actor before, so I'd kind of hoped to steer clear," Jenny said. "I was sort of on the fence, and he sort of won me over."
That Jason. He's got a way with women. Let's just hope they don't serve apple pie at the wedding.
I'm sure this is just the first of many magazines that will have Heath Ledger splashed on the cover.
Us Weekly is taking the "Secret Struggles" route, claiming that Heath had been battling an addiction to alcohol and drugs, including cocaine, heroin and "a variety of pills," and that Heath's ex Michelle Williams had begged him to get help. The mag says she even drove him to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, but Heath refused to get out of the car, making his own promises to Michelle that he would get clean for her and their daughter, Matilda.
Many recent reports say that Heath had gotten sober before his death, and that he was all about spending time with his child and taking his work very seriously. Hopefully, when the autopsy reports come back, we'll know for sure.
Jake Gyllenhaal is said to be completely devastated by the death of his best pal Heath Ledger.
The actor, who was filming a new movie in New Mexico at the time of Heath's death, was back in L.A. this weekend, seeking comfort from girlfriend Reese Witherspoon. Jake, who is godfather to Heath's daughter Matilda, "is taking this harder than most people," said a source close to the Brokeback Mountain star.
Jake's had to work only a bit on his new film, since getting the news of his friend's death, as the director is doing his best to work around the actor while he grieves. "He was there, but he wasn't with us," a source revealed, of Jake's time at the set. "It was obviously a major trauma. These guys were very close. [Jake] was sitting in the director's chair staring off into space."
Poor Jake. At least he has Reese by his side.
Sources say that actress Jessica Alba and her boyfriend Cash Warren are going to be parents of a bouncing baby boy. Jess was shopping at the very chic Petit Tresor in L.A. (doesn't anybody in Hollywood got to Babies R Us?), where she purchased a set of baby furniture in a nautical theme.
Still not convinced? Maybe they just like boats?
Well, Jessica also picked up a blue Huddy Buddy onesie reading "I'm a Boy" on her way out of the store, so, unless she's messing with us, we're thinking she's definitely got the baby blues.
More and more I believe that, it's not that James Gandolfini is such a great actor, but was that he was simply playing a version of himself in the The Sopranos.
The surly actor copped a major attitude yesterday when a fan greeted him in the airport. Granted, the Tony-lover was a bit annoying, asking over and over again, “Can I be a Soprano, baby?” but did it call for a violent reaction from James? I think not.
According to PageSix.com, after the super fan asked to be party of the family for a second time, James "grabbed the guy around the collar and got up in his face before tossing him aside like a rag doll."
Jeez, man.
Inside of running for his life, like I would have done, the guy whined, “Yo, why’d you hit me? I’m here to greet you, congratulate you on the SAG award; I’m just trying to figure out how to be a Soprano. You whacked me.”
To which James shot back, “That’s how.”
Okay, then. I'm officially terrified of him.
Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham is getting naked for a cause. Imagine?
Posh is working with her pal Marc Jacobs to support the NYU Skin Cancer Foundation, which has become much more important to her since moving to sunny Los Angeles.
"Since we moved to California I have realized how important it is to practice safe sun for myself and to keep my three boys’ skin well protected as well," Vicki said. “Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc’s initiative.”
Get your collector's item now! The shirts, autographed by Posh, will be on sale in Marc’s shops next week.
Sean Young hasn't acted in anything popular in ages, but the road that led her to enter rehab yesterday is slightly amusing.
The actress attended the Directors Guild of America Awards and reportedly heckled people on stage after getting wasted! According to Access Hollywood, when Julian Schnabel, director of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," was speaking onstage Sean began yelling, "Get on with it!" and "Move it on!" She also reportedly yelled at a video clip of George Clooney and had an outburst in French directed at Marion Cotillard. The director reportedly shot back, "Have another drink, honey."
How embarrassing -- but funny. I mean she was expressing what everyone in the room was probably thinking.
The actress admitted herself into a facility, according to a statement released by her rep, which read: "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."
So, I'm happy to hear Sean's getting help -- and, though, her career is pretty much washed up, at least she's getting lots of publicity from her latest drunk rant.
“I still battle with my deeply boring diet of, essentially, yogurt and breakfast cereal and granola bars. I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the 'right' size. I’m hungry all the time. I think I’m a slender person, but the industry apparently doesn’t. All actresses are hungry all the time, I think.”

Finally! Somebody in Hollywood is telling the truth. Love her. Now go get yourself a cheeseburger, girl!
