Congratulations to the Blue Lagoon Star. Weird choice of name, though.

The actress suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her first child. She wrote a book on the subject, Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression, and has spoken out about her use of antidepressants.

Last year she was famously criticized by Tom Cruise, who as a Scientologist opposes psychiatry and prescription medication to battle depression.

Now that’s he busy with his own new addition to his family, I hope that freak Tom Cruise will leave Brooke Shields alone.

Ten months after her whirlwind engagement to movie star Tom Cruise, actress Katie Holmes gave birth on Tuesday to the couple’s first child, a girl they named Suri, their spokesman said.

Mother and daughter, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces (3.4 kg) and measured 20 inches at birth, were both “doing well,” Cruise’s publicist, Paul Bloch, said in a statement.

The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning “princess,” or Persian, meaning “red rose,” the statement said.

Oh well congratulations to both the cult freaks, at least they haven’t named their daughter after some menial objects like apple or something.

No further details were revealed about the circumstances of the baby’s arrival, such as the family’s whereabouts or whether the couple adhered to the Church of Scientology’s practice of “silent birth” emphasizing a calm, quiet atmosphere in the delivery room.

Cruise said in a television interview last week that his bride-to-be, who was raised as a Roman Catholic, had joined him as a follower of Scientology. But he insisted that Holmes, 27, was free to take painkillers and “make as much noise” as necessary during the birth.

News of the birth followed a whirlwind Hollywood romance that ranked as one of the most high-profile celebrity courtships in recent memory, one that morphed into the tabloid sensation known as “TomKat.”

So I reckon this means Tom Cruise didn’t gag Katie Holmes while she was squeezing her baby out?

Michael Jackson, who has teetered on the brink of financial ruin for years, has signed an agreement with a Wall Street hedge fund to refinance hundreds of millions of dollars in loans that will save his troubled entertainment empire and his California Neverland estate – though the deal could also portend more money woes in the future.

What future? He’s probably going to die of plastic overdose and his kids are going to be poor and crazy orphans.

The refinancing, according to the insider, would pay off a $272.5 million loan to Fortress, a hedge fund that deals with distressed companies. The balance between the old loan and the new one would give Jackson “spending money,” according to the source.

Spending money for the latest face. He wouldn’t allow himself to lose out to his half-sib La Toya, if you know what I mean.

Jackson, 47, signed the deal in Bahrain, where he has been residing with his children as guests of the royal family. He was assisted in the deal by Ahmed al Khan, an attorney for Sheik Abdullah, the son of the ruler of Bahrain.

Fishy right? Maybe Bahrain doesn’t have other things on TV besides Wacko Jacko’s old concerts.

Winfrey, 52, who is reportedly worth more than $1 billion, said she doesn’t feel guilty about her wealth. “I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips,” she said. “I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me.

She said, ‘Don’t you just feel guilty? Don’t you just feel terrible?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.’

Then I said when we got home, ‘I’m going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I’ll feel good about it.’ ”

The Oprah Winfrey

Haha. Oprah’s a real class act! Yes, fook them guilty rich. If you’re so guilty why don’t you chip in more to the deserving world?

The talk-show host also discussed an academy for girls that she’s building in South Africa. “I want to offer opportunities to girls who have nothing but the will to learn,” she said.

“I’m going to be opening my school on January 2, and it will be one of the great days of my life to see 450 girls, most of them orphans who would not have had the opportunity for education in their lives, come to school.”

Way to go, Oprah. You may be a drag at time with all your Dr. Phil and love-yourself bullshit, but I love it that you contribute way much more than those guilty rich could ever find the decency to put together.
