Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban parents again...
Nicole Kidman and country star Keith Urban are parents again.
The Aussie couple's baby was born via a surrogate in their
adopted Nashville, Tennessee last week.
Keith and Nicole, who reportedly booked out the entire top
floor of Nashville's Centennial Medical Center so the unnamed
birth mother could deliver the child in secret, have named
the little girl Faith Margaret.
The pair made no mention of the baby when they attended the
Golden Globe Awards together in Los Angeles on Sunday, but
released a statement on Monday, which read, "Our family is
truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the
gift of baby Faith Margaret.
"No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that
we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this
process, in particular our gestational carrier."
The couple has a daughter, Sunday Rose, who was born in 2008.
Nicole also has two adopted children, both teenagers, from
her marriage to Tom Cruise.

Julia Stiles' Cuban nightmare...
Julia Stiles has told how she ended up broke and stranded in
Cuba last month after she ran out of cash during a charity
trip.
Julia flew out to Havana to help a humanitarian aid group, but
her visit ended in disaster in December as her funds ran low
and she found herself unable to access her bank accounts.
She writes in the Wall Street Journal, "With three days left
to go in my trip, I was walking around Havana flat broke... I
figured when my cash supply got low, I'd simply slow down my
spending. With funds dwindling, I realized I had miscalculated
the cost of my lodging, and forgotten about the exit fee at
the airport. Cuba is not a place where one can access American
banks or use credit cards, so if you run out of cash you
cannot get anything. You can't even get off the island."
She reveals she found out about her Golden Globes nomination
for her role in "Dexter" during the final days of her trip,
and the honor felt meaningless because of her situation:
"There I was, thrilled to have received such a professional
honor, yet still unable to barter it for cab fare."
Julia was eventually able to borrow some money to pay her way,
and she admits the experience taught her a valuable lesson.
She adds, "With all of its crumbling beauty, Havana taught me
the true value of a dollar. It also taught me that the people
you know, and the ways in which you rely on one another, are
more valuable than any paper currency."

Regis Philbin Is Leaving Live...
After 28 years and three different co-hosts, Regis Philbin says
this will be his last season on his morning talk show.
The program currently known as Live! with Regis and Kelly.
"It's been a long time, it's been 28 years since I've been here.
And it was the biggest thrill of my life," Regis, who will turn
80 in August, said on the program Tuesday morning.
He added jokingly: "Everything must come to an end for certain
people on camera, especially certain old people."
Regis's program began in 1983 as The Morning Show, a local New
York City broadcast which he co-hosted with Cyndy Garvey.
Kathie Lee Gifford replaced Garvey in 1985, and the show,
renamed Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee, went national in 1988.
Kathy left in 2000, and the show became Live with Regis for a
season. It was renamed in 2001, when current co-host Kelly Ripa
joined full-time.
"I think I can only speak for America, and all of us here, when
I say it has been a pleasure and a privilege and a dream come
true [working with you]," Kelly told Regis. "And I wish I could
do something to change your mind."

James Franco Promises Singing & Dancing at Oscars...
James Franco is no stranger to tackling new projects. So it
should come as no surprise that the actor, whose repertoire
includes soap star, PhD student, painter and Golden Globe
Best Actor Drama nominee, is embracing his Oscar hosting
duties.
"I'm just kind of going with the flow," James said.
James is co-hosting the Academy Awards with Anne Hathaway,
and is busy working on the routine. "There will be some
singing and some dancing. We haven't started choreographing
that yet orrehearsing that, but there will be some of that,"
he said.
Of Anne, James adds: "She is the youngest to ever host the
Oscars so I guess that's special in itself. She's a great
person ? great personality ? so I'm basically depending on
her to pull it off."
As for Annes's strategy for the show: "I'm here to take notes
from Ricky Gervais for when I host the Oscars," she said at
Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards.
James, however, received a tip from a veteran Oscar host:
"Billy Crystal said to wear tennis shoes, or something, but
I don't think I'm going to follow that advice."
What does he know? "I don't think I could ask for a better
co-host," he said.

This actor has put his womanizing ways to bed - insisting it
would be "undignified" to chase girls at his age...
It's Jack Nicholson...
Jack is a well known-ladies' man, allegedly sleeping with
thousands of women during his Hollywood career and having
five kids with four different partners.
But the 73 year old is adamant it's time he stopped cavorting
with beauties in public and started behaving like a mature
gentleman.
He comments, "I can't hit on a girl in public like I used to.
I never thought words like 'undignified' would come into my
own reflections on myself but I can't do it any more. I feel
uncomfortable. I don't think anybody cares what I do in these
areas but it feels a little bit off to me.
"It's good for business if people think I'm a womanizer. But
a lot of what people think of me has to do with when I was
younger.
"I did sort of burn it full blast. But I don't burn it at
both ends any more. I can't party as hard as in the past."
