World Gets on With Life Without Pregnant Brangelina]]> Congratulations this morning to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the latter of whose womb has reportedly yielded its blobby, twinsy bounty at last. We think. It's official, isn't it? The Chosen Two are here? After InTouch called it Saturday afternoon, Extra overrode it an hour later and the rest of the world simply hedged somewhere in between until Jolie's exhausted doctor fled the delivery room craving a stiff drink, we can finally, confidently move on to the postgame show. Select reactions, including an overjoyed grandfather, and a French bureaucrat with paperwork, after the jump:

—The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, went before the cameras Saturday evening with Knox Leon's birth certificate; officially carved from Jolie's belly at 6:27 p.m., he was one minute older than little sis Vivienne Marcheline.

—Jon Voight is excited, even if he apparently had to pass along his grandfatherly love through second-rate gossip conduit Pat O'Brien and has yet to be summoned to his daughter's bedside. But! "If I were called today, I'd be there," he added.

—And seriously, Jolie would have called, except she and Pitt were having too much fun in the delivery room. No, really, said Dr. Michael Sussman: "It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy. ... Saturday was a great day for us all."

—First photos of the blobs could fetch up to $20 million. We don't want to talk about it.

—Can't stand to live in a world without a pregnant Brangelina? US Weekly has just the remedy: The official "Angelina's Bump Days" memorial slideshow. And yes, Mary Hart — it's real. Or was, anyway.

<![CDATA[The Bronze Child Cometh! Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Welcome Baby Girl]]> Jessica Alba and Cash Warren apparently aren't playing along with the latest "hasty media retraction" trend in celebrity parenting, instead just blithely going along with reports that Alba gave birth this weekend to the couple's daughter Honor Marie Warren. As the actress was due in late May, however, we have no reason to doubt the Bronze Child is among us: "Alba's father was overheard saying, 'She's beautiful,' " US Weekly reported in a bulletproof dispatch from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "Warren — in a T-shirt, jeans and baseball cap — was spotted carrying food into the maternity ward Sunday."

Alba, who has yet to offload the rights to Honor's first photos, nevertheless did Paramount a huge solid by keeping the openings of both her womb and her new film The Love Guru — opening everywhere June 20! — in the closest possible proximity. Expect our first sun-kissed, blobby look that week, followed by rough calculations of how Alba's imminent thousand-year Hindu curse impacts little Honor. Here's hoping Vishnu goes light on her.

<![CDATA[Gwyneth Paltrow Re-Seeded]]> It won't be long before it's time to fire up the old birthing jacuzzi: Reports have surfaced that Her Miramax Majesty and celebrated fertility goddess Gwyneth Paltrow is once again with child:

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her musician husband Chris Martin are expecting their second child, celebrity television program The Insider reported on Friday.


The show said Paltrow, who has a daughter with Martin, was at a screening of her movie, "Proof," in Los Angeles on Thursday when actor Lou Diamond Phillips introduced her to the audience as a "pregnant woman" and asked her how far along she was.

Paltrow replied: "Far enough along to feel very cumbersome," according to The Insider.

While the notoriously baby-publicity shy Paltrow put on a brave game face when put on the spot by Phillips, the ensuing confrontation at the valet stand was several degrees less civilized, with a livid Paltrow pinning the actor by his neck, and in a tooth-clenched whisper, threatening, "Yo, Diamond Phillips, howsabouts you keep your eyes on your own uterus and I'll keep my eyes on mine. Capeesh, LaBamba boy?" before a concerned Martin pried the two apart and ushered his fierce, arm swinging mama bear into their waiting limo.

<![CDATA[Gwyneth Paltrow WombWatch: Water Birth Edition]]> Given that onetime hard-working actress Gwyneth Paltrow's baby-hampered theatrical output in 2005 was limited to Proof, one of the little movie darlings the Weinsteins quietly suffocated with a pillow before leaving Miramax for their own company, the only news coming out of Camp Paltrow involved either political musings or semi-veiled public threats of violence against those who might dare to shoot photography-retardant daughter Apple. Still, our appetite for Gwynnie-related news is undiminished, and so the desperate celebrity-obsessed press temporarily sates us by shoveling this tidbit about potential Paltrow birthing practices into our gaping maw:

Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly planning to give birth to her second baby underwater.


The pregnant star and Coldplay star husband Chris Martin are said to have splashed out on birthing pools for their homes in London and New York.

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth - who is due to give birth in May - is said to have planned an underwater delivery when having daughter, Apple, but changed her mind at the last minute.

A friend is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "It's something Gwyneth really wanted to do for her first birth but she didn't feel confident enough.

"This time she's more than ready for an underwater birth - she's done loads of research. It will be very special and spiritual."

It took months of mental preparation and special training, but Paltrow is now supremely confident that even with one hand occupied by a life-affirming clench with her husband, she can still accurately fire a harpoon gun into an overzealous paparazzo's diving goggles with the other, ensuring that any interruption of the primal spirituality of the moment will be kept to a minimum.
