Robbie Williams has become a father for the first time.
The singer's wife Ayda Field gave birth to Theodora Rose Williams on Tuesday afternoon (September 18).
A message to fans on the star's official website read: "Praise be, it's Theodora Rose Williams, affectionately known as Teddy...born 3.33pm on 18.9.12, 7lbs 4oz...
"Baby, Mummy and Daddy are all rockin...Thank you for your best wishes...xxxx."
It had previously been claimed that the 'Candy' singer had pulled out of plans to be part of the Olympic Closing Ceremony in order to be with his wife in the later stages of her pregnancy.
He recently quipped that he had been feeling the effects of his wife's pregnancy almost as much as she had, saying: "I got fat. Isn't it incredible? She has to eat for two, but I've gained her weight.
"It must be the empathy. I read about it and it says that sometimes husbands suffer same effects during the pregnancy as their wife... if she was sick, I was. If she had bad mood, me too. This happened during the first three months."
Congratulations to them :cheer:
Delighted for Robbie and his wife and a lovely name as well congrats to them
Beyoncé has been facing rumours that she is expecting a second child with husband Jay-Z.
The 'Love On Top' singer, who gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy back in January, has been the subject of intense speculation after sporting an apparent baby bump while dining out in New York this month.
http://i1.cdnds.net/12/39/showbiz_beyonce_bump.jpg
MediaTakeOut has reported that Beyoncé is around three months along, while Hollywoodlife claims the pregnancy has been confirmed to them by a source close to the star.
The latter website also published a photo from the pertinent night out of Beyoncé wearing a leopard-print dress that clings tightly around her stomach.
A representative for the 31-year-old has said they "will not comment on her personal life", while the musician's mother told Access Hollywood that another baby is "gonna happen when it's time, but not right now".
Beyoncé recently stated that she and Jay-Z "love" every aspect of being parents to Blue Ivy, including changing diapers.
The veteran actor's most famous role was as fed-up and irritable Charles Dreyfus, the boss of Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau
Veteran actor Herbert Lom, fondly remembered for his roles in the Pink Panther films during his half-century of movie appearances, has died at the age of 95.
The Czech-born, London-based star appeared in more than 100 films including classics such as Spartacus, El Cid and The Ladykillers.
He died peacefully in his sleep this morning, his family said.
During his career, Lom portrayed Napoleon Bonaparte on two occasions, one of which was the screen adaptation of Tolstoy's War And Peace.
But his most famous role was as fed-up and irritable Charles Dreyfus, the boss of Peter Sellers' bumbling character Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther films.
He first appeared as the police chief in 1964's A Shot In The Dark and, as the films went on, became increasingly mentally unstable as a result of Clouseau's incompetence.
During his career he appeared with such stars such as Kirk Douglas, Sir Alec Guinness and Charlton Heston.
Prague-born Lom moved to the UK before the Second World War and worked as a newscaster with the BBC's overseas service until his acting career took off.
The twice-married actor's first major screen role was as Napoleon in 1942 film The Young Mr Pitt, although his swarthy good looks led to him regularly being cast as a suave villain.
His son, Alec Lom, said: "Like many actors, he never wanted to be pigeon-holed in a particular role and, after having played the role of East European gangster in many films, it was a delight to him later in his career to be cast by Pink Panther producer and director Blake Edwards in a comedy role opposite Peter Sellers, and he hugely enjoyed that move.
"He had many funny stories about the antics that he and Peter Sellers got up to on the set. It was a nightmare working with Peter because he was a terrible giggler and, between my father and Peter's laughter, they ruined dozens and dozens of takes.
In the early 1950s, Lom had huge stage success as the King of Siam in the original London production of musical hit The King And I at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, opposite Valerie Hobson. The part had been made famous by Yul Brynner on Broadway, who also starred in the film version.
Other movie work included the title role in The Phantom Of The Opera in 1962, and Lom also featured in horror hits such as The Murders In The Rue Morgue and as Van Helsing in the 1970 chiller Count Dracula, which starred Christopher Lee as the famed vampire.
Lom - whose real name was Herbert Karel Angelo Kuchacevic ze Schluderpacheru - also made a number of TV appearances, which included playing a psychiatrist in the British TV drama The Human Jungle.
In addition, he had guest roles in popular US series such as The Streets Of San Francisco and Hawaii Five-O.
Earlier in his career he had been denied entry to the States and was unable to take up a seven-film Hollywood contract. Despite having taken British citizenship in the mid-1940s, he was denied a visa to enter the US in the following decade because he was suspected of being a Communist sympathiser.
He later recalled: "Everybody had Communist leanings. But I was not a lover of Communist regimes. And I admired America greatly, yet for many years I was not allowed in."
The visa problem was also in danger of scuppering his lead in The King And I as he was unable to take up the invitation to audition in New York. However, the writers, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, agreed to head over the border to Canada for the casting.
"They sent me a ticket, and I met them in a hotel in Toronto. A piano was pushed into the room, I sang the first verse of A Puzzlement and Oscar said 'Stop, welcome aboard'."
Lom had three children. In addition to Alec, he had another son, Nick, and a daughter, Josephine, named after the French Empress and wife of Napoleon.
Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are separating.
The 67-year-old actor and the 'Cheers' actress - who met in 1970 and tied the knot in 1982 - are splitting after 30 years of marriage, a representative for the couple has confirmed to gossip website TMZ.com.
Danny and Rhea, 64, met when she went to see off-Broadway play, 'The Shrinking Bride', which the 'Twins' actor was appearing in.
The couple - who have three children Lucy, Grace and Jacob, together - founded production company Jersey Films, which is behind 1994 crime movie 'Pulp Fiction' as well as 'Garden State' and 'Freedom Writers'.
In 1996 fantasy film 'Matilda' Danny starred as Harry Wormwood with Rhea portraying his on-screen wife Zinnia Wormwood.
Danny and Rhea are both known for their short statures and the 'Batman Returns' star previously admitted his five-foot height may have felt like a disadvantage when he was a teenager, but it made him learn other skills to impress ladies.
He explained: ''I learned how to dance real good. I had to, because [girls didn't want to] slow dance [with me].''

Russell Crowe has split from his wife Danielle Spencer, according to reports.
The break-up between 48-year-old Crowe and Spencer, who he's been married to for nine years, is said to be "amicable", reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Crowe and 43-year-old singer Spencer have two children together, 8-year-old Charles and 6-year-old Tennyson.
The pair met while filming the 1990 film The Crossing, and are both said to be "committed to protecting their boys" during this "tough time".
No reason has been cited for the reported split, but Crowe is said to be "throwing himself into work" following their break-up. He is currently filming Noah, a biblical film with Emma Watson.
People reports that earlier in the year, photographs emerged of Spencer with her arms around Damian Whitewood - her partner on Australia's Dancing with the Stars.
However, there has been no confirmation that this contributed to their separation.
Adele has reportedly given birth to a baby boy.
The 'Rolling in the Deep' star, who announced her pregnancy back in June, welcomed her son with partner Simon Konecki last week, The Mirror reports.
"Adele and Simon are ecstatic at their new arrival," a source said. "She was over the moon that they were expecting their first child together."
Konecki previously teased that the couple's baby is "coming so soon".
It was recently reported that Adele is renovating a home in Hove to live a low-key life with her new family.
"Neither she nor Simon wants to bring up the baby in London. They want to keep a low profile when the baby is born. I think we'll see even less of her then," an insider explained.
"Despite her millions, she is going to give the baby the most important thing of all - love. The baby is very special to have such a special lady as its mother."
A spokesman for Adele declined to comment on the reports, saying they have no plans to release a statement at this time.
Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she recently had a double mastectomy.
The former X Factor and America's Got Talent judge said that she underwent the operation after finding out that she has a gene which increases the risk of breast cancer.
"As soon as I found out I had the breast cancer gene, I thought, 'The odds are not in my favour'," she told Hello! magazine.
"I've had cancer before and didn't want to live under that cloud. I decided to take everything off and had a double mastectomy. For me, it was a no-brainer."
Osbourne - who successfully fought colon cancer in 2002 - added that she didn't want to be pitied, saying that having the mastectomy was "a decision I made that's got rid of this weight that I was carrying around".
The Talk co-host explained: "I want to be around a long time and be a grandmother to Pearl. I didn't even think of my breasts in a nostalgic way, I just wanted to live without that fear."
Osbourne's granddaughter Pearl was born earlier this year to parents Jack Osbourne and Lisa Stelly.
David Walliams is expecting his first child with wife Lara Stone.
The British comedian announced his model wife's pregnancy on Twitter this afternoon (November 15).
"Some wonderful news. My beautiful wife Lara is pregnant," he wrote. "We are having a baby!"
He added: "It is due next year and we both couldn't be happier."
The Britain's Got Talent star married the Dutch model in May 2010.
In September 2010, Walliams commented that he had hopes of having daughters with Lara Stone.
Walliams is said to have signed a deal worth around £800,000 to return to Britain's Got Talent in 2013.
Congratulations to David & Lara on their joyous news. I adore David he's so mental.
Jack Klugman who starred in NBC medical drama Quincy, has died at the age of 90.
Klugman's sons Adam and David confirmed that the Emmy award-winning actor passed away on Christmas Eve afternoon (Monday, December 24) in Los Angeles. His wife Peggy was at his bedside.
"He had a great life and he enjoyed every moment of it, and he would encourage others to do the same," Adam Klugman told The AP.
"His sons loved him very much. We'll carry on in his spirit," added David Klugman.
Born Jacob Joachim Klugman on April 27, 1922 in Philadelphia, he enjoyed a long career, taking up acting following his discharge from the US Army at the end of the Second World War.
In addition to his portrayal of tenacious and principled medical pathologist Dr Quincy, Klugman is probably best known for playing laid-back sports reporter Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple on Broadway, and in the subsequent 1970s ABC sitcom of the same name.
Klugman also appeared in shows such as The Twilight Zone, Diagnosis Murder, The Defender and The Fugitive. He was a Tony Award nominee, a triple Emmy winner and ten-time nominee, and received a Golden Globe in 1974 for his work on The Odd Couple.
He lost a vocal chord as a result of throat cancer in the 1980s, but taught himself to speak again and returned to acting in a Broadway revival of Three Men on a Horse in 1993.
Klugman is survived by his wife, his two sons from his first marriage to Brett Somers, and two grandchildren.

He is said to have died peacefully in his sleep at midday today (December 26).
Anderson's son Jamie Anderson wrote a tribute to the man who was also behind Captain Scarlet and Stingray, saying on his blog: "I'm very sad to announce the death of my father, Thunderbirds creator, Gerry Anderson.
"He died peacefully in his sleep at midday today (26th December 2012), having suffered with mixed dementia for the past few years. He was 83."
Diagnosed with mixed dementia two years ago, Anderson had moved into a care home in October, after his condition worsened.

Sir Elton John and David Furnish have become parents for a second time, it has been confirmed.
Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John was born in Los Angeles via a surrogate on Friday evening (January 11) and weighed 8lbs 4oz.
John and Furnish told Hello: "Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable.
"The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way.
"It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."

They were reported last week to have welcomed a second child, but the claims were swiftly denied on Friday morning - at which point Elijah had not yet been born.
The pair were rumoured to have purchased a new Los Angeles mansion in October to make room for the new addition to their family.
The 'Candle in the Wind' singer said last summer that he "definitely" wanted another child as a brother or sister to Zachary.

He died in Blackpool's Trinity Hospice last night (February 17) after recently becoming ill on holiday in the US.

"He would do interviews with prime ministers and he could also talk comfortably to the lady next door. It was a great skill which he had."
Batey worked as a consultant and wrote some of the questions on the 2008 reboot of the show fronted by Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield.
The assistant controller of programmes for Border Television also hosted chat show Look Who's Talking between 1973 and 1985.

Peaches's first child Astala was also due to be born on April 24 last year, but the date was brought forward after Peaches needed a Caesarean.

Journalist and broadcaster Alan Whicker has died at the age of 87 after suffering from bronchial pneumonia.
His spokeswoman said he died in the early hours of Friday morning at his home in Jersey.
With a TV career that stretched nearly six decades, he was best known for his long-running documentary series, Whicker's World.
The show, which ran from 1959 to 1988 on both the BBC and ITV, saw him travel all over the world.
The series featured Whicker reporting on the unusual and bizarre, interviewing all types of people from millionaires and monks to gangsters and dictators.
He once said he counted himself one of the luckiest men in the world because he enjoyed his work so much.
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/image...0_68697119.jpg
Alan Whicker
Whicker was made a CBE in 2005
After joining the British Army at the end of World War II, it was his stint as the editor of the British Army newspaper that whetted Whicker's appetite for a future in journalism.
He joined the BBC in 1957, where he became a correspondent for the flagship current affairs show Tonight.
There he was credited with bringing interview techniques like walking to camera and cutaways to television.
But it was Whicker's World, a perennially popular ratings winner, that made him a household name.
The show even inspired a famous Monty Python sketch about Whicker Island, a mythical place populated by Alan look-alikes awaiting that "inevitable interview".
Whicker moved to Jersey in the 1970s after visiting many times in the '60s, saying the slow pace of life attracted him to the island.
I loved his programmes, RIP Alan :(
Lynda Bellingham has confirmed that she has been diagnosed with cancer.
The actress and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant has postponed her appearance in Kay Mellor play A Passionate Woman to focus on her treatment and recovery.
Bellingham said: "I'm devastated not to be able to honour my commitments to the play this year. But having toured many times before, I'm aware of the sheer stamina needed and I need to prioritise my recovery.
"That said, nothing's going to stop me coming back next year, and I can't wait to be 'a passionate woman'."
No further details about the former Loose Women panelist's condition have been released at this stage.
Sheffield Theatres artistic director Daniel Evans, whose company were due to host the first stop on the tour at the Lyceum theatre this September, added: "A Passionate Woman is an extraordinary play about an extraordinary woman, and that woman is Lynda Bellingham.
"She is the heart of this production, and it's inconceivable that we would do it without her. Our priority is to Lynda and her health, and we look forward to welcoming her back soon."
Bellingham rose to fame through appearances in TV dramas such as All Creatures Great and Small and became synonymous with Oxo's TV advertising campaign, where she played the mother of a suburban family.

The Strictly Come Dancing star said of her marriage in April: "To be honest with you, it is really difficult. We just haven't seen each other.

She denied rumours her marriage was over earlier this year after being spotted alone on several holidays.
The pair met when Mead was a contestant on Any Dream Will Do in 2007, which the presenter was judging.
