Billie Piper is expecting her second child with husband Laurence Fox.

A spokesperson told Digital Spy that the couple are "delighted" to be expecting another baby.

The former Secret Diary of a Call Girl star was reportedly worried that her pregnancy would affect her role in Neil LaBute's play Reasons to be Pretty.

London's Almeida Theatre's artistic director Michael Attenborough, who also directs the play, revealed news of the new arrival, telling the Daily Mail that Piper was upset at the prospect of disrupting the previews.

"She was upset and told me she was pregnant," Attenborough said, adding that the actress had "very generously offered to withdraw" from her role.

"However, she was Neil LaBute's and my first choice for the part - and fortunately the character is pregnant - so with a bit of judicious rewriting we're all delighted she'll be with us."

He continued: "I told her that I'd love her to do it and she just wept on my shoulder. She thought that was it. She was thrilled."

Piper and Fox, who married in 2007, are already parents to 3-year-old Winston.

The Love Actually star, who is rumoured to be dating Chinese actress Tinglan Hong, has reportedly become a father for the first time.

A source told Us Weekly that the actor welcomed a daughter in early October, adding that Grant was "thrilled" by the birth.

"He's going to be a great dad!" the insider said. "He's beaming about his daughter. He's not with the mum anymore but he's absolutely thrilled."

The 51-year-old confessed last year that he was "dreading" turning 50, joking that he would commit suicide on the special day just to avoid getting older.

Grant was taken to hospital in March after complaining of feeling faint, dizzy and short of breath.

The actor previously dated actress Elizabeth Hurley and British writer Jemima Kahn.

Steven Gerrard and wife Alex have welcomed a third child.

The Liverpool footballer's wife gave birth to a girl at 4pm this afternoon (Tuesday), weighing 7lbs, 15oz.

Both practising Catholics, they named the girl Lourdes after the French town to which pilgrims travel every year.

In a statement, a spokesman for the couple said that the baby is "doing well", adding: "Steven and Alex would like to thank the media for respecting the privacy of their family at this time."

The Gerrards, who married in 2007, have two older daughters - 7-year-old Lilly-Ella and 5-year-old Lexie - together.

News of Alex's pregnancy was revealed in May.


If they are practicing catholics, should they not have waited to have children until after they got married? :hmm: Anyway, congratulations to them

Howards' Way star Dulcie Gray has died from bronchial pneumonia, aged 95.

First finding fame in Gainsborough Pictures' melodramas in the 1940s, the actress became best known for her role as Kate Harvey in the BBC One series from 1985 - 1990.

She regularly appeared on stage, television and film opposite her actor husband, the late Michael Denison.

The actress also had a second career as a novelist, penning almost 20 books about dogged sleuth, Inspector Cardiff.

Several of her short stories were published in Herbert Van Thal's Pan Book of Horror stories.

Gray had been living at the actors' residential care home, Denville Hall, in west London, at the time she died on Tuesday.

Born in Kuala Lumpur in 1915 where her father was a lawyer, she trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, where she met Denison.

They appeared in more than 100 productions together during their 59-year marriage, including their joint Broadway debut in the first New York production of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband in 1996.

They were both awarded CBEs for services to drama in 1983.

Following Denison's death in 1998, Gray returned to the stage to appear in adaptations of The Ladykillers and The Lady Vanishes.

She last appeared on screen in 2000 in an episode of BBC drama Doctors.

RIP Dulcie :(

Demi Moore has announced that she and husband Ashton Kutcher are to divorce.

The 49-year-old married the actor in September 2005, but their relationship came under scrutiny in recent months due to rumours that he had an affair.

Moore cited "sacred values" as one of the reasons for her decision to divorce the Two and a Half Men star, in a statement released to The AP.

"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton," she said. "As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.

"This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation."

Kutcher said in a blog post: "I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi.

"Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK."

The actress was previously married to Bruce Willis, and had three daughters together - Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle - before their divorce in 2000.

Ashton Kutcher recently handed over ownership of his highly-followed Twitter account, following comments made about Joe Paterno.

His wife Celia Walden, 34, has given birth to a baby girl, according to the Daily Mail.

Morgan and Walden, who married in June last year, have named their first child together Elise.

Morgan's spokesperson has declined to comment.

The CNN news anchor has three sons from his previous marriage with Marion Shalloe, which lasted until 2008.

Lily Allen has reportedly given birth to a baby girl.

The 'Not Fair' singer is believed to have welcomed her first child with husband Sam Cooper, after a friend alluded to the happy occasion on Twitter.

Her ex-boyfriend Seb Chew wrote earlier tonight (November 25): "sending out love to lily, sam and mini cooper...... YES."

A close friend told the Daily Mail that the birth was "all good".

Cooper announced Allen's pregnancy during their wedding reception back in June.

The couple lost a baby in November 2010, six months into Allen's pregnancy.

She previously miscarried the child she was expecting with Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons in January 2008.
