Be Well,

Hugh Grant welcomes his fifth child at age 57
British actor Hugh Grant is reportedly a dad of five.

The 57-year-old star recently welcomed another baby with girlfriend Anna Eberstein, according to Grant's ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley.

"I'm very lucky that 31 years into our friendship, he's still my best friend in the world," Hurley said while discussing her friendship with Grant on E!'s Daily Pop. "He's a really great guy."

"You know, he's now a father of five; he has five kids and he's a great dad," she added. "Yeah, he will remain my best friend for life."

Hurley later said on Thursday's episode of Watch What Happens Live that Eberstein gave birth last week.

"He had another one last week. He has five," the actress told host Andy Cohen. "He was over 50 when he spawned them all!"

"He's actually an enchanting dad -- really, really sweet," she said. "Having these kids has transformed him from a very miserable person into a fairly miserable person. It's improved him. He's gone up the scale."

Grant already shares a son and daughter with Eberstein, and is also dad to two children with ex-girlfriend Tinglan Hong. He and Hurley split in 2000 after 13 years of dating.

"He's still my best friend and he's very important to me," the actress said in a 2016 interview with Lorraine.

Colin Firth and wife confirm separation, reconciliation after affair report
British film star Colin Firth and his wife, producer Livia Giuggioli Friday confirmed Giuggioli engaged in an extramarital affair with a man she has since accused of stalking.

"A few years ago, Colin and Livia privately made the decision to separate. During that time Livia briefly became involved with former friend Mr. Brancaccia. The Firths have since reunited," the couple's representative said. "Subsequently, Mr. Brancaccia carried out a frightening campaign of harassment over several months, much of which is documented. As a consequence of his stalking, threats and refusal to desist, the legal complaint was lodged with the Italian authorities."

The couple's personal lives were dragged into the spotlight recently when La Repubblica published details regarding the police investigation into Giuggioli's accusations.

"The reporting this week on this case is understood to be the consequence of a leaked court document," the pair's publicist said. "This is greatly to be regretted. It does not serve the interests of any of the parties involved."

Marco Brancaccia, a 55-year-old ANSA journalist, told the British newspaper The Times Giuggioli made up the allegations against him to hide their 2015-16 affair.

"We were romantically involved. She wanted to leave Colin for me," he said, further remarking Giuggioli's marriage to Firth had "been over for years."

"My 'stalking' consisted of two messages via WhatsApp after she ended our relationship in June 2016, and an email," Brancaccia said. "I wrote an email to Colin about my relationship with Livia, which I now regret sending, and she filed a complaint against me for stalking out of fear that I could go public with what she had revealed to me about her marriage and work. In a year, she sent me hundreds of messages of love, photos and videos, even a diary."

Firth, 57, and Giuggioli, 48, exchanged wedding vows in 1997 and are the parents of two teenage sons. Firth also has an adult son named Will from his previous relationship with actress Meg Tilly.


Rick Ross home after health emergency
Rap mogul Rick Ross is home from the hospital after a recent health scare.

Ross, 42, was released after four days and received further treatment at his house, the Los Angeles Times reported.

He reportedly had been rushed to a hospital after he fell unconscious and woke up "slobbing at the mouth." Ross, who has a history of seizures, was treated in the medical facility's intensive care unit, but he has not confirmed what type of medical emergency sent him there.

"Ain't nothing like home," he wrote in an Instagram post Thursday. "I love y'all."

The message captioned a black-and-white photo of Ross with his back to the camera. He is wearing a jacket that reads, "Black Bottle Boys" and has one hand on a concrete block wall. In the other hand is a bottle of a rosé champagne he promotes.

TMZ said Ross left the hospital Monday and was spotted shopping with his family in the Miami area Friday.


??? Guess Who ???
Which 'Back to the Future' star joined Instagram, posts pics with Kiefer Sutherland?

Family Ties, Back to the Future, Teen Wolf and Spin City alum Michael J. Fox joined Instagram this weekend.

His first post featured a photo of him clowning around with Kiefer Sutherland on the set of ABC's political thriller Designated Survivor.

Fox, 56, is guest starring in a five-episode arc on the series. He plays Ethan West, a powerful, Washington attorney appointed special prosecutor to investigate a former president's alleged leak of classified information. Sutherland, 51, is the show's lead, playing the President of the United States Tom Kirkman for two seasons.

The image Fox shared Saturday shows Sutherland with his arms around Fox's shoulders and Fox holding Sutherland's leg up.

"If 30 years ago these 2 Canadians knew they would be working in the Oval Office, they would have been on better behavior. Thanks Kiefer," Fox wrote. "This is now, swipe for then."

A second photo shows the pair as much younger actors during the days when Sutherland was starring in movies such as Young Guns, The Lost Boys and Stand by Me.
