Jason Priestley’s a dad

Premiere Of Paramount's "Flags Of Our Fathers" - Arrivals
Brandon Walsh and his oddly angular wife have become parents for the first time. God I hope their kid looks like him; if it looks anything like this picture of his wife, the baby’s going to be all corners and right angles.

US Weekly has reported that Jason Priestley’s wife Naomi gave birth to a baby girl on July 6th. I probably shouldn’t make fun of her, supposedly she’s a pretty good wife.

“Priestley, 37, met his makeup artist wife in London in 2001, about a year before the avid racecar fan was nearly killed after smashing head-on into a wall at 180 miles per hour during a practice session at Kentucky Speedway. Naomi Priestley, née Lowde, was by the actor’s side throughout his lengthy recovery from a fractured spine and other injuries.”

Their daughter’s name has not been released. This is the first child for the Priestleys.

I’m really not cool with this. I mean I’m happy for them and everything, but I had really specific plans to marry Jason Priestley when I was in fourth grade. Then divorce him and marry Luke Perry, all while living in Beverly Hills. So it’s kind of messed up my plans, but whatever. Priestley just wrapped the movie Termination Point with Lou Diamond Phillips. He stars as a scientist who has been working for the government on secret time travel experiements, but disappears with the technology. So it’s one of those movies based on a true story I guess. Aside from this stellar film, I think Priestley’s most famous recent appearance was cheering from the sidelines for Ian Ziering on “Dancing with the Stars.” That kind of makes the pain go away.
