Sabrina star Melissa Joan Hart gives birth
According to People magazine, the 31-year-old actress, best known for role in 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch', gave birth to a 7lbs 3oz baby yesterday afternoon.
The couple, who married in 2003, already have a two-year-old son called Mason.
Hart previously said: "This has been a long but exciting pregnancy, and we along with Mason are excited to add to the Wilkerson clan."
New drama: Pets, Pete and Amy Winemouse
On the face of it, it's hard to guess what might link a litter of baby mice; the singer Amy Winehouse and millions of YouTube viewers. Yet the three elements have come together in a web video of the singer playing with a box of baby mice, alongside Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty.
The film shows Ms Winehouse holding up one of the rodents and using it to plead with her jailed husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, not to divorce her.
This latest disturbing display will almost certainly add to the antipathy between Winehouse's family and that of Mr Fielder-Civil. The constant revelations about the couple are thought to have fuelled anger between Winehouse's mother and her mother-in-law over who is to blame for their problems.
Janis Winehouse lays the blame for her daughter's use of hard drugs squarely at the door of her son-in-law. In a bitter outburst, she accused Mr Fielder-Civil of being a scheming freeloader who manipulates the press with a view to a multimillion-pound divorce settlement.
Mrs Winehouse, who is divorced from Amy's father Mitch, said: "As far as I'm concerned, Blake more than played his part in Amy's downfall. People I trust have told me Amy didn't start on the hard drugs until she met Blake – and I think that says it all. Don't get me wrong: I know she dabbled in drugs before. But she was always adamant that she would never touch the hard stuff.
"That all changed when she met Blake. She didn't start self-harming until Blake came along either. I know Georgette, Blake's mother, says the opposite and blames Amy for Blake's downfall, but that's absolute rubbish. I think she's fighting a good cause for her son so he gets a good payout from any divorce."
But Mr Fielder-Civil's mother Georgette, a Nottinghamshire hairdresser, says her son is being "conveniently" blamed for the singer's problems. "Janis has never said a nice thing about Blake. It's been too convenient for her to blame him for Amy's addiction. Although we are not in touch, I believe Mitch is as scared as we are about what the hell will happen to them when Blake gets out."
In the internet video the singer picks up a rodent and, in a mouse "voice", sends a message to her husband, on remand in prison accused of assault and perverting the course of justice. Doherty joins in, picking up another and saying: "If you divorce her, you'll have me to deal with."
The RSPCA said baby mice should always be left undisturbed, as "strange human smells" could lead their mothers to kill them.

Director Attacks Critics After Film Is Held Back
Controversial director Uwe Boll has hit back at critics after his new film Postal opened in only four cinemas in the US.
The movie, an adaptation of the 2003 videogame Running With Scissors, is seen as being strongly opposed to president George Bush, leading hundreds of cinemas across the US to bar its release.
In response, Boll has launched a scathing verbal broadside at his critics, saying they spend far too much time watching "escape movies", while ignoring his own cinematic efforts.
"To all of you writing now about me and the fact that Postal is not getting screens: it's okay; it's fun kicking a guy non-stop who is on the ground," he wrote on the official Postal website.
"You are all not getting it that I'm the guy who made it against the big Hollywood system and you are busy [trying to] destroy me and finish me up."
"Postal makes some very important points, but you don't want to see that Bush used September 11th to start a war against a country that had nothing to do with Bin Laden etc.
"But this doesn't matter because you are all too busy thinking that Indiana Jones or Narnia are important movies, but really they are empty shells from an industry that wants to make money and keep you watching escape movies with nothing in them."
The film version is already out in Germany, Mr Boll's home country, but no UK release date is yet available.
He continued: "In between they put some controversial movies out to show they can do also important movies, but these are not really critical and only support the system and don't show the big picture.
"And Postal shows the big picture; it nails the absurd situation with all the stupid religions, races and nations we live in. Postal is not accepting bulls**t politics."

Hulk Hogan - Bollea My Brother Saved My Life
LATEST: HULK HOGAN's daughter BROOKE has credited her jailed brother NICK for inadvertently saving her life during a car crash in Florida on Sunday (25May08).
Hogan - real name Brooke Bollea - was driving across the Bayside Bridge in Clearwater, Florida, with a friend when her vehicle was involved in a collision with several other cars.
No one has been reported injured after the smash, which is said to have occurred when Bollea's Mercedes hit the back end of another car, according to TMZ.com.
Both Hulk Hogan - real name Terry Bollea - and his estranged wife Linda, rushed to the crash site to tend to their 20-year-old daughter.
And Bollea insists she only escaped unscathed because she fastened her seatbelt - and her brother's horrific car crash last year (07) serves as a constant reminder for her to buckle up.
Nick, 17, is currently serving an eight month jail sentence after pleading no contest to felony reckless driving following the crash in Clearwater, Florida, which left his friend John Graziano critically injured.
Bollea writes on her Myspace internet page, "I truly believe my brother and John saved My life and my best friends life.... I don't know if you heard, but my friend and I got into a really bad car accident today ourselves... As I turned on my car I clicked my seatbelt. I reminded (my friend) to put it on and the minute she clicked it, a car crashed into us. It was a horrible car accident, one that most would be severely hurt in, but we had our seatbelts on and they kept us in tight. I have to thank my brother and my best friend John for teaching me an important lesson that saved our lives."

Annie Lennox axed by record label
The former Eurythmics star was reportedly stunned when Sony BMG stopped answering her phone calls just weeks before her contract was due to expire.
Lennox, 53, said she was shocked at the way she was treated by the company which once hailed her as "one of the finest musical voices of the age".
Soundgenerator.com quotes her as saying: "They totally ignored me. It was bizarre. It was a kick in the teeth. They didn't return my phone calls or emails for three weeks. I'm trying to find out what's behind it.
"Probably a good thing I'm no longer with them - mild understatement. Unless it's them trying to tell me something... Hello!"
The singer admitted she has been left contemplating her future in the music industry.
She added: "It feels like I'm spent, as if I've completely run out of energy.
"I'm going to take my time over the coming months to figure out what to do with this freedom."

The band has reportedly turned down a lucrative new deal with Island Records after a row over their image.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "McFly are a huge money spinner for Island Records, so they were desperate for them to stay.
"They offered them better contracts with a bit more money, but the lads have grown up and realise the label don't want to take them in the same direction they do."
The band will release its new album on 24 July through their new, own record label, Super Records.
