Pop star Simpson 'has first baby'
Pop singer Ashlee Simpson has given birth to a baby boy, People magazine has reported.
Bronx Mowgli Wentz was born on Thursday night weighing 7lbs 11oz (3.5kg) and was 20.5 inches long.
"Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" a spokesperson told People.
It is the first child for the 24-year-old and her husband, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who married in May.
The pair announced the singer's pregnancy a few weeks after their Alice In Wonderland-themed wedding at Simpson's family home in California.
"I would love to have a big family one day," Simpson told People at the time.
Wentz had dismissed rumours of the pregnancy as "crazy" a month earlier.
The couple have been together since 2006.
They are having a joke with that name, surely :eek: Poor kid. :mad:
Glitter appeals against court order
Gary Glitter has launched an appeal against the court order that requires him to notify police if he intends to leave the country.
The convicted paedophile, real name Paul Gadd, was given the order after serving three years in a Vietnamese jail for sex crimes against two girls.
The current order does not prevent him from travelling abroad but requires that he inform police if he intends to stay away for more than three days.
In September, the singer was stopped by Kent police as he tried to leave the country.
He was previously placed on the sex offenders' register after being jailed in 1999 for possessing images of child abuse.
Angelina not pregnant again
Angelina Jolie has denied that she is pregnant again following American tabloid reports that she is expecting her seventh child. In Touch magazine, who broke the news that the actress was pregnant with twins earlier this year, said that Jolie announced her latest pregnancy to a waiter in a London restaurant when he tried to pour her an alcoholic drink. Despite this latest denial, the couple have made no secret that they would like to expand their family. "It's chaos in our house, but it's so much fun. We'll definitely have more," Angelina said earlier this month. SOURCE: DAILY MAIL
Bookmakers slash odds on Bruce Forsyth receiving a knighthood
The move follows a wave of bets on the 80-year-old television presenter, who has achieved renewed success on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, being named in the New Year Honours list.
Forsyth is now 2/1 odds-on favourite to be named a knight, down from 33/1 earlier this year. It is thought the current odds are the shortest ever price for a potential a knighthood.
William Hill has announced it will not take any more bets on Forsyth becoming Sir Bruce, reportedly fearing that insider information about the list, which will be published at the end of the month, could have led to large bets being placed.
Graham Sharpe, a spokesman for the bookmaker, told The Sun: "We fear some people in the know are trying to sting us. But if he gets the knighthood we will be first to say 'Didn't he do well?'"
David Williams, of Ladbrokes, told the newspaper: "A knighthood would be a rich reward for his incredible career, but the sight of Sir Brucie at Buckingham Palace would make us wince. Punters have been falling over themselves all weekend to back him. The industry could be facing a £1million payout."
A petition on the Downing Street website calling for the honour has attracted more than 5,000 names.
