Alicia Keys and Swizz “Kasseem Dean” Beatz have welcomed their baby – and it’s a boy! Swizz confirmed on Friday that the baby boy came on Thursday night. They named him… Egypt. Just like Bossip’s sources were saying weeks ago. The baby’s full name is Egypt Daoud Dean… I think Daoud is pronounced “Dowd” only you draw out the syllable more, maybe? Unknown: whether Alicia and Swizz have actually been to Egypt. Also unknown: what Egypt’s nickname will be. Egie? ‘Gypt? Gypt Dean sounds vaguely offensive.

Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Egypt Daoud Dean, her rep confirmed to UsMagazine.com. The singer gave birth in NYC on Thursday night, the rep added.

On Friday, Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean) Tweeted: “I’m so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life wowwwwww!” It’s the first child for Keys, 29; Beatz, 32, has three children from previous relationships.

The couple’s good pal Mary J. Blige offered her congrats via Twitter Friday, writing “I’m So excited 2 Congratulate my brother @ therealswizzz and @Alicia keys on their New, baby, boy!!!!!!!”

Keys, 29, and Beatz, 32, tied the knot in a private ceremony in July on the Mediterranean Sea. The two – who have been together since fall 2008 — announced their engagement and baby news to Us in May.

“She’s always glowing!” Beatz recently gushed to Us about Keys.

He added that her pregnancy has been nothing but “smooth sailing” so far. “I’m feeling amazing!”

Keys told Us she was eager to greet her little one. “The baby is going to see everything that I do, and that we do,” she told Us.

Am I so much of a bitch that I’m going to criticize Alicia and Swizz just after they welcome their baby? No, no, I’m not. I will merely state that ‘Gypt is Alicia’s first child, and he is Swizz’s fourth… that we know of. Congratulations to the happy family!

Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend David Burtka are now the proud daddies of twins! Their surrogate gave birth this past Tuesday to a baby boy and a baby girl. These are NPH’s first babies, although David is also a dad to boy-and-girl twins with a previous boyfriend. So this makes the third and fourth kids for David. NPH and David named their babies Harper Grace (love) and Gideon Scott (is the baby a Bible?).

It’s a boy and a girl! Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka are officially fathers. The actors welcomed twins Gideon Scott and Harper Grace on Oct. 12, the How I Met Your Mother star announced on Twitter Friday.

“All of us are happy, healthy, tired, and a little pukey,” he wrote.

Harris, 37, announced that he and Burtka, 35, were becoming parents in August. “We’re super excited/nervous/thrilled. Hoping the press can respect our privacy,” he wrote on Twitter at the time.

According to reports, the babies were born with the help of a surrogate.

At the Emmy Awards that month, Harris said he was getting excited about his new role – and doing research. “I’m trying to read as much as I can, and prep as much as I can,” he said at the time. “But there’s only so much you can do because each baby is super individual and totally their own person.”

[From People]

I know NPH and David had no control over it, but I’ve always thought that if you’re going to have twins, a boy and a girl would be ideal. That way, you wouldn’t have to go through the stage of dressing them alike, and you could always tell them apart. Plus, one of each is kind of awesome. Congratulations to David and Neil!

I read this on Tuesday, but I didn’t think it was true. Or rather, I didn’t think it was confirmed. But it turns out that Matt Damon did confirm that he and his wife Luciana are having yet another daughter – their third together, plus Lucy has another daughter from a pre-Damon relationship. So in another month, Matt will be in a household with FIVE women. That’s some Kardashian-Jenner junk, for real.

He’s being outnumbered! Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barrosa are expecting another girl, Damon tells UsMagazine.com. The Oscar-winning actor, who turned 40 last week, and Barrosa already have two daughters, Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2, as well as Barrosa’s daughter, Alexis, 11, from a previous relationship.

Their new baby is due next month.

“I’m thrilled,” Damon told Us Sunday at the New York Film Festival’s Hereafter premiere. “I can’t wait to meet her.”

Damon — who quietly wed Luciana in 2005 — has credited his kids with keeping him grounded in Hollywood.

“It’s pretty easy to kind of lose your way… having kids is really helpful,” he once told Parade magazine. “They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly. There’s a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I’m probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier.”

[From Us Weekly]

I don’t see Matt as the kind of man who is in any way bummed to have a house full of girls – unlike Ben Affleck, who I think actually actively wants a son. Plus, with four little girls, chances are that one of them will be a baseball-loving tomboy, right? And if not, Matt should just be prepared to be shellacked in glitter for the next two decades. There are totally worse things.

Here are some photos of Mother Superior Gisele Bundchen in Miami with her son Ben. Ben is naked on the beach! What are the rules about that, moms? When I saw the first photos of Ben running in the surf, naked as a jaybird, I thought it was adorable. He’s only 10 months old and already walking! Maybe Ben really is an advanced baby, and Gisele is the smartest, bestest mother EVER!

Now, Ben was not naked the whole beach trip. He arrived fully clothed and then Gisele took off her stuff and stripped Ben down, and then he was a naked baby for the rest of the day. Gisele and Ben played in the ocean, she sunned herself a little and then she sat in the shade with Ben… and the baby was still naked. I’m not being so anal retentive that I’m crying “inappropriate” on general public nakedness on a baby – it’s a baby. Let the baby be naked, who cares? But when you’re on a public beach, and the paparazzi are snapping photos of you and your naked baby…? Is it weird? Gisele also invited a friend to take photos of her naked baby, up close and personal. Once again, that’s totally fine. Ben is just going to be super-embarrassed when Mother Superior pulls out all of these photos when his girlfriend comes over. MOM!

Also – since Ben was diaper-less the whole time, I guess he really is potty-trained? Or maybe he’s just dumping in the ocean. Whatever is going on in these photos, though, they are really adorable. I think Ben is a mama’s boy.

There are few things more beautiful than when Bossip goes after Alicia Keys. Bossip has been one of the few sites to keep up with every little movement of the Alicia Keys/Swizz/multiple-baby-mama-drama situation, and it is always so epic. Even the headline of this most recent piece had me laughing my ass off, with the reference to “Cleopatra Keys and Swami Beatz”. You see, Swizz has been stepping out in a formal turban, of all things. And Alicia won’t stop with the forehead jewelry.

Anyway, Bossip’s sources are talking about the newest little member-to-be of the Beatz clan. Quite a clan, too – this baby with Alicia will be Swizz’s fourth baby, and Alicia is his third baby-mama. Bossip’s exclusive report claims that Alicia and Swizz are expecting a boy, and that they’re going to name him Egypt. Oh, goodness.

We’ve been ragging on Alicia “From Homewrecker To Housewife” Keys and Swizz “Philandering Father Of Four” Beatz about their noticeable nod to Egypt and even further east in their clothing as of late — including Alicia’s Indian Tikka she’s been wearing to everything lately and Swizzy’s turban. It seems the couple’s international obsession will continue with their new baby’s name! Keep reading to find out the planned name, and sex of their royal progeny!

According to BOSSIP sources the couple is having a ….

It’ll be another boy for Swizz — his third and Alicia’s first. Swizz also has a daughter. And our source says the couple plans to call the child Egypt!

[From Bossip]

Yeah – Swizz has two boys with Mashonda, and a little girl with Jahna Sebastian, over in England. As for the name… um… Egypt? Really?!? Egypt Beatz? No, that’s not his real name. His real name is Kasseem Dean, so the baby would be Egypt Dean. LMAO. It sounds like a dish Paula Deen would cook up! Egypt Deen, with butter.

In other news, Swizz is joinging watchmaker Audemars Piguet in designing a line of watches for their next collection. According to reports, Swizz recently flew to Switzerland to meet with executives and designers, and Swizz told media outlets: “I went out to Geneva and met with Mr. Audemars himself. They’re designing the next 10 years of AP (Audemars Piguet) and they want me to be on the board and design team. It (the class) was six hours and it was crazy dissecting and putting together the movement in the AP, which I have a total new respect for. Not just wearing it, but the tailor movement in that thing.” You know what this means, right? It means Swizz knocked up some poor Swiss girl. There will be a little Swiss Swizz!

The last time I checked in on Sarah Jessica Parker’s twin girls, one of them had an awesome (natural?) Mohawk. Well, it looks like little Tabitha and Marion finally have enough hair to properly style, so SJP took her girls out and about in NYC. Actually, the note on the photos says that they twins were going to a doctor’s appointment. How the paparazzi know these things, I’ll never know.

Anyway, I realize it’s a non-story, I just thought the twins were adorable. They look like Matthew, don’t they? Especially the one that SJP is holding. I still don’t know which is which, but I’m going to make a judgment call (out of thin air) and say that SJP is holding Marion, the grumpy brown-eyed one, and the nanny is holding Tabitha, the grumpy blue-eyed one. Those are the faces of two babies who are afraid of needles and are preparing for a hissy fit! I could be wrong, about all of that.

Oh, and I HATE SJP’s outfit. What happened to the fabulous Burberry? These jeans need to be sent back to middle school.

I remember reading that Isla Fisher, Sacha Baron Cohen’s wife, was pregnant with the couple’s second child, but it kind of slipped my mind because we don’t hear much about the two of them. There was some minor drama a couple of years ago about whether they would ever get married, which they did in March after Isla reportedly converted to Judiasm. It took eight years and two kids together before they made it legal. Apart from that we rarely hear about them although there are the occasional paparazzi photos of Isla out with their daughter.

Now we have some candids of Sacha, Isla, their oldest child Olive, two and a half, and a baby carriage presumably carrying their new arrival. They looked pissed as hell to be photographed out together in the photos we’ve seen. (Which we don’t have access to, you can see a photo on Celebrity Baby Scoop and another one on E! Online and People has a third.) They seem to be very protective of their family, and I guess I don’t blame them. They didn’t confirm Isla’s pregnancy and they’ve refused to confirm the new baby or even the gender. Is this a bitchy move or something they should be respected for?

Who’s that strolling in London Friday with Sacha Baron Cohen, Isla Fisher and 2½-year-old daughter Olive?

It seems as though the trio has welcomed the latest addition to their family, although a rep for the actress says they likely won’t be commenting on the birth of the new baby.

The intensely private pair prefer it that way, having kept quiet about the impending arrival of their second child as well as their March nuptials.

We last spotted Fisher, 34, and Olive out and about in Los Angeles at the end of May, but the actress and husband Baron Cohen, 38, have managed to stay undercover since!

[From People]

It’s my feeling that since they’re famous, they each make a ton of money in movies and are public figures, the least they can do is confirm the birth and sex of the baby. They don’t have to tell us his or her name if they want to keep it private. I like how Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber handle the press. They’re low key and try not to draw attention to themselves but they acknowledge their kids and will talk about them occasionally. Maybe the paparazzo is screaming rude stuff to the Cohens, though, which would explain their bad moods along with their unwillingness to open themselves and their family up to scrutiny. I’m not in that position so it’s hard to tell.

Despite the fact that Sacha can probably no longer work his character-driven shtick on the public due to how famous and recognizable he is, he’s still earning a ton of money. We heard this spring that his agency struck a huge deal for him with Paramount for an upcoming comedy in which he’ll play two roles “a goat herder and a deposed foreign dictator who gets lost in the United States.” According to Deadline Hollywood, Cohen stands to make $30 – $80 million on the deal, which offers him a significant piece of the film’s gross. He didn’t sell out his family to get there though, that’s for sure.

I wasn’t even going to do this, just because the Family Crackhead has already brought enough LOLs today, right? But at the end of the day, this story could totally be possible, and thus, it’s something we need to prepare ourselves for. According to In Touch Weekly, Lindsay Lohan wants to have a baby. Does Lindsay want a child because she’s finally grown up enough to realize that the whole world doesn’t revolve around her incessant crack drama, and she’s prepared to make a lifelong commitment to something other than a crack/fame addiction? No, of course not. According to ITW’s sources, Lindsay wants a baby because “She needs to be around someone nearly 24 hours a day. She thinks having a baby could straighten out her life.” Because that’s what babies are – perfectly willingly to work around a famewhore’s incessant need for attention and validation. But it sounds like the kind of scheme Lindsay would cook up, doesn’t it?

Despite her recent legal issues — and recent reports that while driving she allegedly clipped a stroller with a toddler in it — Lindsay Lohan wants to be a mom!

The star has confided to a pal that she’s determined to stay sober and thinks the best way for her to achieve that goal is to get pregnant. According to the pal, Lindsay, 24, hates being alone and thinks a baby would make the perfect companion. She’s seen what motherhood has done for former party girl Nicole Richie and thinks it can do the same for her.

“She needs to be around someone nearly 24 hours a day,” the pal says. “She thinks having a baby could straighten out her life.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

When did Nicole Richie become the poster girl for crackheads straightening out their life? Granted, I buy Nicole’s transformation, and I remember Nicole back in the day, when she was drinking and doing drugs and she was a nasty piece of work. I buy that Nicole is no longer that girl, and that motherhood was one (large) part of what instigated her change. Will it work for Lindsay? Eh… Nicole seemed to have some sense knocked into her when she first f-cked up. Lindsay hasn’t had any sense knocked into her, and we’re on her twenty billionth f-ckup.

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to be prepared. Lindsay is loose and looking to breed. And when she gets her baby and finds out how much actual work it is, she’ll try to return it. Or give it away. Or sell it. Or snort it.

The Crackhead has her license back, and we‘ve been warning you LA bitches to stay out of her way. Actually, scratch that, I have no idea if she actually has her license back or if she just thinks she’s allowed to drive now, in her crack-addled mind. In the less than two weeks that Lindsay has been out of her jail & rehab, she’s already been stopped by the cops once for failing to stop for a stop sign, and she’s already been back to her crackhead haunts like the Chateau Marmont. So what was next on Lindsay’s agenda? Some typical crack shenanigans – like hitting a baby. Lindsay was ALLEGEDLY driving her fancy Maserati when she was too crackheaded to LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE TURNING ON A RED. And thus, Lindsay hit a stroller that was carrying a baby. Radar has video of what happened afterward – the nanny (I’m assuming) pushing the stroller and the baby crying and people asking the woman if she was okay. And Lindsay’s Maserati driving off in the background. The video is here, and here’s Radar’s report on the incident:

Lindsay Lohan clipped a stroller holding a baby while driving her high-powered Maserati, two eyewitnesses to the incident exclusively tell RadarOnline.com. The two onlookers identified the Mean Girls star in her West Hollywood neighborhood around 5pm Wednesday, when she accidentally hit the woman and child after failing to look both ways before turning.

“There was a woman pushing a kid in the stroller, maybe a two or three-year-old, crossing the street,” witness Brayan Jaime told RadarOnline.com, in an exclusive interview.

“Lindsay took the red light and hit the stroller. It wasn’t super hard, but she made impact and hit them,” Jaime said. “Lindsay pulled to the right, stopped for two seconds, and then just kept going.”

RadarOnline.com has also obtained exclusive video taken just moments after the incident occurred in which Lohan’s luxury Maserati can be seen speeding away. At the same time, the child can be heard crying in the stroller. The woman in the video is seen looking back at Lohan’s car in disbelief as she continues to cross the street.

“I’m 100 per cent sure Lindsay was driving because I saw her with my own eyes,” Jaime told RadarOnline.com. “I asked the kid if she was okay and then asked the woman, but she was kind of shocked and didn’t really know what to say and you could tell she was scared.”

Jaime claims Lohan came out of the parking garage quickly, making only a brief pause at the red light instead of a full stop. A second witness at the scene told RadarOnline.com that the impact was minimal, so it’s possible Lohan didn’t realize it happened. Nonetheless, he insists contact was made.

“She was just driving like crazy once I started following her. She was trying to lose me, blowing stop signs and stuff,” Jaime said, who followed Lohan after being stunned at what he saw. “Lindsay was scared because she knew I saw what she did.”

But the incident doesn’t seem to have registered with Lohan, who was released from a court ordered rehab and jail sentence last month. When contacted for comment, she told RadarOnline.com, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

[From Radar]

A hit and run on a baby. This is terrible. Even if you’re pretty sure that you just “bumped” someone (especially if it’s a stroller carrying a BABY), you get out of your car and ask “Are you okay?” Beyond that, you LOOK BOTH WAYS, CRACKHEAD. Seriously, I hope this is not the end of the story. I hope they track down the nanny and the baby. I hope the cops are called. I hope there are international headlines crying “LOHAN HITS BABY, IS A CRACKHEAD.”

Generally speaking, Diane Kruger is pretty boring. She’s made a few good movies, and many not-so-great movies. She’s not really a world-class actress, but she’s serviceable and pretty, and she seems reasonably down-to-earth. The only times I’ve ever been excited by Diane were: 1) when she was rumored to be maybe-boning Brad Pitt when they worked on Inglourious Basterds, 2) when she wears something totally gorgeous or totally funky on the red carpet, as she is one of the “fashion girls” and 3) when she’s gushing about her boyfriend of many years, Joshua Jackson. Joshua and Diane aren’t really a big A-list couple, but they are solid B-list, maybe even B+. And I’ve always wondered about them – do they get really hot for each other? What’s their home life like? Does her accent ever piss him off? Well, as it turns out, Diane has no problem talking about Josh and their future plans (hint: babies!). She was interviewed in The Daily Mail over the weekend, and her quotes are very interesting (full Mail piece here):

[In] a celebrity-obsessed world that loves two for the price of one, it cannot be denied that her relationship with Joshua Jackson has done much to raise her profile. We meet at the beginning of Josh’s annual three-month break from Fringe – which is filmed in Vancouver – and the couple are about to take off on a ‘European tour’ that is clearly preoccupying Diane. The couple, who met in 2006, rarely have the opportunity to spend much time together. They live, she says, like ‘gypsies’ between a rented flat in Vancouver, her home in Paris and an apartment in LA.

‘He is in Vancouver nine months of the year, and then I am away making movies, so there are long periods when we don’t see each other and it’s hard. I am taking time off work because we promised each other this period together.’

‘[The paparazzi] do take pictures of us when we are in New York or LA, but it doesn’t bother us because we don’t have super-interesting lives for them. We don’t go out a lot and I certainly don’t go to clubs without any underwear on. We love the outdoors, we love cycling and hiking and we are both very green – not pursuits that the paparazzi tend to be interested in.’

Paris remains her favourite city and the place she thinks of as ‘home’ (she has an apartment close to her mentor Karl Lagerfeld). Indeed, for all her transatlantic gloss, she still considers herself to be European.

‘I see myself raising my children in Europe, probably in Paris. Josh loves Paris and he is cool with that, but we will see what happens when we get there – or if we get there.’

However close they are, there will not, she says, be a wedding. Diane’s marriage in 2001 – to actor/director Guillaume Canet, which ended in 2006 (he is now with Marion Cotillard) – has left her disillusioned about what she believes is ‘just a piece of paper’.

‘Because I was married I know that, no matter what paper you sign, if you want out, you get out. But that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in commitment. I think commitment is very important, particularly for me. I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love. I think for too many years I actually let that slide,’ she says, a little pensively.

She’s highly domestic (she regards ironing as therapy), loves to cook and has a vast library of cookbooks, counting Jamie Oliver as one of her favourite chefs.

‘Two weeks ago I did an eight-hour lamb. We were in LA and we had friends over on a Sunday and the lamb was in the oven and we could smell it all day – it was great. I love food.’

Diane doesn’t exactly look as if she loves food – with her slender 5ft 7in frame elongated by those shoes, she appears pretty close to a size zero, but vehemently denies it. ‘I am not size zero – I wish! I am a 2 [British size 6] or sometimes a 4 [8] – it depends. If I spend too long in Germany and eat too many cakes and schnitzel my weight goes up. But I don’t obsess about it any more. I just know I’ve got to watch it when my pants feel too tight.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Aw… she sounds nice. Surprisingly normal. She also talks about her obsession with gigantic heels, and how Josh always ends up half-carrying her through events because she can’t walk. I’d venture a guess in saying that Josh and Diane are for real, and they’re totally in love. Of course, I thought that about Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel, and now everyone is yelling at me, saying that he’s a big cheater. So maybe I’m bad at reading relationships today. Whatever.
