Meet Jennifer Hudson's Newborn Son!

Motherhood definitely seems to agree with Jennifer Hudson, who gave birth to her first child, David – named after her fiancé, David Otunga – on Aug. 10.
"I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy," says Hudson. "Who better to devote my time to than my own child?"
From singing lullabies ("He can be crying at the top of his lungs and just turn off like a switch") to frequent bottle-feedings ("I’ve never seen a baby eat like he does!"), the singer (who chose not to address the tragic loss of her family members last October) offers PEOPLE an intimate look into her new life as a mom.

How hard was it keeping your pregnancy under wraps?
"David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just
thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there."

Your son was delivered via C-section, what was your recovery like?
"Everybody told me how much it was going to hurt afterwards but I think I have a different tolerance for pain than others. By that night after I had the baby, I'm like, 'Look, I can’t sit in this bed anymore. I’ve got to get up!’ I’ve been up and about since he was born. To me, the pain is no different than when you work out a muscle you’ve never worked out before and it’s sore."

Has his personality emerged yet?
"He has a lot of personality, like David. He’s always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it’s like he knows, ‘Ain’t nothing come out of here. No, I don’t want that. Where’s the real deal?’ His best friend is that bottle; that’s all he wants."

Would you be supportive if he wants to pursue a career in entertainment?
"We'll definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school. My mom always said, 'Whatever you want to do, I'll support you as long as you’re happy.' So I will do the same."

Kermit the Frog: I'm Not Dating Lady Gaga

When Lady Gaga rolled up to the MTV Video Music Awards, the world was agog at the identity of her high-profile date – America's Frog Next Door, Kermit the Frog.
After all, the movie and TV star, singer and former pollywog had long been linked romantically to frequent costar Miss Piggy. Had he gone from mild-mannered Muppet to amphibian Jon Gosselin?
Not at all, Kermit insists. He fesses up about his date with Lady Gaga (who called him, not vice versa) and his relationship with a certain pig, dispenses advice to Kanye West and hints at why you haven't seen him and Fozzie Bear out on the town together, in this special Q & A with PEOPLE.com.

PEOPLE: So how'd this date with Lady Gaga go down, exactly?
Kermit: Well, I wouldn't really call it a "date" – at least not if I don't want to end up as a coat for Miss Piggy. Y'see, I just gave Lady Gaga a ride to the VMAs, and when Lady Gaga left her credentials in the limo, I had to bring them to her. (On the off-chance security didn’t recognize her. Hey, it could happen.) Of course, after Lady Gaga and I were seen on the red carpet together, well … Miss Piggy got a little jealous. But I definitely did get a ride home – in the trunk!

So let's get down to brass tacks. Does this mean you and Miss Piggy have called it quits?
Miss Piggy and I have not called it quits, and that's because we do not have that kind of relationship. We are colleagues and close friends. Sometimes too close. Waaaay too close. We still work together all the time. In fact, in early December, you can catch us together singing with Andrea Bocelli on the Andrea Bocelli & David Foster: My Christmas, a new holiday special for PBS. Piggy was jealous I was going to sing with Andrea ... until she found out Andrea is a guy. And a handsome guy at that. Then, I got jealous!

How'd you and Lady Gaga get on away from the cameras? Is she a good kisser?
Lady Gaga is a wonderful person. In private, she is very down to earth … which is where I spend most of my time. As far as kissing Lady Gaga goes: she is a very good kisser, but it was not a romantic kiss. It was a kiss for good luck. Kissing a frog is good luck for the person giving the kiss – but bad luck for the frog if his pig finds out.

Your average guy would probably be creeped out by a woman who'd just been photographed wearing a dress made out of, well, him (or close relatives). Yet you didn't seem to have an issue with that Kermit dress she wore in Germany in July. What are your feelings about that outfit of hers?
Actually, no actual amphibians were harmed in the making of that frog coat. In fact, after she checked the coat, she gave those frogs the rest of the night off. As for what she was wearing to the VMAs – I was just happy it wasn't made from anyone I recognized.

If Lady Gaga hadn't asked you to the VMAs, who would you have liked to have gone with?
Taylor Swift. After years of working with Miss Piggy, I've gotten really good at not letting anyone else grab the mic.

Did you confront Kanye West after the Taylor Swift incident?
I didn't see Kanye after the incident, but I would have told him to do what he's been doing: apologize. It's not that easy being wrong, but if you own up to your mistake, you'll almost always be forgiven. There are exceptions, but I won’t mention her by name.

Are you and Lady Gaga going to be seeing each other again?
We don’t have anything planned, but I'm sure Lady Gaga and I will run into each other again soon. That is, unless Miss Piggy gets that restraining order against her.

Coincidentally enough, Lady Gaga was photographed wearing a black Marc Jacobs dress in September that Miss Piggy had been photographed wearing in August. Who do you think wore it better?
I have to say Miss Piggy. That isn't necessarily my answer, but since she's standing over my shoulder, it's what I have to say.

We haven't seen you hanging out with Fozzie Bear, Gonzo or the rest of the gang in a while. Should people be concerned that there's been a falling out? Will we see the Muppets ride again soon?

Kanye apologizes to Taylor Swift

Kanye West might not have stolen the show – but he did steal the microphone from Taylor Swift. After Taylor received the award for Best Female Video at the 2009 VMAs for her song “You Belong to Me”, the rapper stormed onstage, grabbed the mic from the country singer and protested in support of Beyoncé. “I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," he said. A stunned Beyoncé invited Taylor onstage to have the acceptance speech she deserved, later on in the show. Kayne knew he was “in the wrong” by taking away her moment. He took to his blog to apologize: “I’m sooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans. She is very talented!” he posted. “I’m sincerely sorry.”

Kathryn Joosten, a two-time Emmy winner for her role as feisty neighbor Mrs. McCluskey on Desperate Housewives, has lung cancer – and she plans to do everything she can to fight it. "I've got a little hang-up here," Joosten tells PEOPLE exclusively of the diagnosis she received less than a week ago, "but we're going to handle it and move forward. I'm doing great." The actress, 69, who already won a bout with lung cancer in 2001, broke the news to her Housewives producers Monday morning as she expects her shooting schedule could be interrupted for treatment. "They're totally supportive," she says. "I said, 'If you want to put it in the story line, do it! Tell anybody you want, because the public's going to know.' "Two weeks ago, the actress – who also played Mrs. Landingham, the beloved secretary to Martin Sheen's President Bartlett on The West Wing – underwent her annual physical exam during which doctors discovered a spot on her lung. Tests will determine the type of lung cancer Joosten is suffering from and her course of treatment. "I felt like the legs had been pushed out from under me," Joosten says of receiving the news. "I completely did not expect it, and was devastated. I was crying for nearly five days straight."

No, Tyra Banks isn't a last-minute addition to Dancing With the Stars.
The Top 10 dancers from season five of So You Think You Can Dance—yes, that includes winner Jeanine Mason and that adorable Evan Kasprzak—took a break from their tour rehearsals to promote season six join Ellen DeGeneres to help the shimmying funny girl kick off the seventh season of her show.

George Clooney's Getting Married (It's a Joke)

Sorry, ladies, George Clooney says he's getting hitched, and it isn't to you
At a press conference for the Venice premiere of his latest movie, Men Who Stare at Goats, Hollywood's perpetual bachelor, 48, says that special person is ... Goats director Grant Heslov.
"Grant and I are actually announcing our wedding while we are here," Clooney joked Tuesday. "I don't quite know how to answer that question, but I can read your mind again and I know what you're thinking."
Goats, which also stars Ewan MacGregor, is a comedy about the CIA's program for researching psychic powers. Clooney has been publicly seen on the arm of Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, and arrived with her at the Venice Film Festival Monday.
But that knowledge didn't stop a male reporter from stripping down to his boxer shorts and a necktie and blurting out to the star: "I'm gay, George. I want you, George! Come with me, George!"
Sometimes people take "a big chance," Clooney responded, smiling. "Only it doesn't really work."

Shawne Merriman: Tila Tequila Appeared Drunk

San Diego Chargers quarterback Shawne Merriman is fighting back against reports he assaulted reality TV star Tila Tequila, saying the media – and Tequila – are getting it all wrong.
"There have been no charges filed against me," he tells FoxSports in his first public comments about the incident. "I will continue to cooperate fully with the [San Diego Sheriff's] Department, and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."
Tila Nguyen – her real name – made a citizen's arrest of Merriman on Sunday, alleging that he choked and unlawfully restrained her at his home in the San Diego suburb of Poway.
Merriman says he didn't assault Nguyen, and was actually trying to help her.
"I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided," he says. "We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California."
After the incident, in an apparent move to cast doubt on Merriman's version of the story, the diminutive Nguyen wrote on her Twitter account that she's allergic to alcohol – thus the ironic nickname "Tila Tequila." The Tweet later appeared to have been deleted.

Regis Philbin Brithday!

Today on 25 August is the day of anniversary of Regis Philbin
Regis Francis Xavier Philbin TV-talk show host, game-show host, singer, author, and TV personality, Regis Philbin became one of the most popular talk-show hosts in America and in Canada, especially. Growing up as an only child in The Bronx, New York, Philbin went to University of Notre Dame and got a degree in sociology. Later, he would serve the Navy and went through behind-the-scenes in radio and TV before going into broadcasting.
When moving to California, Philin got his own show on KGTV in San Diego called "That Regis Philbin Show" (1964).
It was then he got his first big break as Joey Bishop's sidekick on "The Joey Bishop Show" (1961). Bishop liked to tease Philbin. But the teasing stopped when Philbin walked off the stage on a live broadcast and stayed away for several days.
On the show, Cyndy Garvey was originally the co-host. However, when Philbin moved to New York City, they both paired up on "The Morning Show". But due to low ratings, Gravey then left once again and Philbin was then joined with Kathie Lee Gifford on the show and ratings improved and changed the name to "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee"(1989). Gifford left the show, which was called "Live with Regis" until a permanent replacement could be found.
During the search, Philbin won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host, his first only Daytime award. When Kelly Ripa was chosen the same year, the show was later changed to "Live with Regis and Kelly". The pairing became successful.
Besides being a successful TV host, Philbin was also a game show host on a short-lived game show called "The Neighbors" (1975), which part of the game is that a contestant, usually a woman, would have to find out which one of her neighbors is gossiping about her. He then hosted "Almost Anything Goes" (1975). Despite both shows were failures, Philbin then hosted "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (1999/I), which became one of the most popular shows on TV before it was canceled in 2002 and came back with Meredith Vieira replacing Philbin. For his work on the show, he won his second Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host.
Philbin then signed a contract for "Millionaire's" spin-off: "Who Wants to Be a Super Millionaire" (2004). But this time instead of one million dollars, it's 10 million. However, the show was canceled within four months. However, Philbin's game show career didn't end there. As of November 2005, Philbin hosted the revival of ABC's _"This Is Your Life" (2006)_. As of May 2006, the show is in development.Also, Philbin hosted the first season of "America's Got Talent" (2006), with Piers Morgan, Brandy Norwood and David Hasselhoff as the judges.Besides being a TV personality, Philbin is also an author who has written two books: "I'm Only One Man!" and "Who Wants To Be Me?". He is also a singer, in the style of a crooner such as Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin.

Happy Birthday Regis Philbin!!

Michael’s cause of death: a dangerous amount of propofol

Two months after the singer’s tragic death, an unsealed search warrant has revealed that Michael Jackson had lethal levels of the powerful sedative propofol in his system as he took his last breath. According to the report, which became public in Houston today, the late pop star’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, told police that he gave his patient 50 mg of propofol through an IV every night for six weeks. The doctor added that he had administered a reduced dosage of 25 mg of the drug at 10:40 a.m. on the day of Michael’s death, which led to the King of Pop’s untimely demise of cardiac arrest on June 25. The document states that Michael had Valium, tamsulosin, lorazepam, temazepam, clonazepam, trazodone and tizanidine in his body as well.

Marlee Matlin Birthday!

Today on 24 August is the day of anniversary of Marlee Matlin
Marlee became deaf at the age of 18 months due to a bout with Roseola Infantum. That didn't stop her, though, from acting in a children's theatre company at age 7; she was Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz." Her deafness never held her back.
Marlee studied Criminal Justice at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois, and maintained her passion for acting after graduating. While performing on stage throughout Chicago and the Midwest, Marlee attracted notice for her performance in a production of the Tony award-winning play "Children of a Lesser God" and was cast in the movie version, Children of a Lesser God (1986). Although this was her film debut, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Her interest in the criminal justice field played a part in her on screen career; she portrayed an Assistant D.A. in the TV series "Reasonable Doubts" (1991), while off screen she married police officer Kevin Grandalski on August 29, 1993. Marlee was nominated for an Emmy award in 1994 for her performance as Laurie Bey in the "Picket Fences" (1992) episode "Dancing Bandit."
In 2007 Marlee participated in the series The L Word where he played the role of an artist Jodi Lerner
And also won this year she earned her star on the sidewalk of the stars in Hollywood

Happy Birthday Marlee Matlin!!

Jay Leno's new NBC show means less Jay, more silly young comics

Jay Leno is still tinkering with the format behind his new 10 p.m. talk show that premieres next month. But viewers should get ready for one change: There'll probably be less Jay than on "The Tonight Show."
Leno told reporters during a press conference in Burbank today that "The Jay Leno Show" will still start with a monologue tied to the day's news, and he'll still have familiar segments like Jaywalking and weird headlines. But -- in lieu of the interviews that occupy most of "Tonight" and other late shows -- Leno will spend a lot of time highlighting taped pieces by younger comics such as D.L. Hughley, Liz Feldman and Mikey Day. It's an impresario-like function that Leno believes TV used to perform in the 1960s and '70s.
"I hope we can make some stars in this," Leno said. "I hope people become famous and get offered shows. If they replaced me with a guy we discovered, I mean, that would be great."
Early taped segments will include Feldman trying to teach seniors how to use Twitter and Hughley coming up with off-the-wall ideas to help rescue California from its financial woes.
"This is a way to use young comics in a new way," Leno said. "They essentially go out and they shoot the stand-up piece they're talking about."
Viewers may notice less Jay in another way too: The 59-year-old host says he's kept off about 10 pounds he lost this summer. He said he'd even finished off a two-mile run before heading over to the NBC lot to meet reporters.

Céline Dion Pregnant with Embryo Frozen for Eight Years

Céline Dion, now expecting her second child, is "very excited," says her doctor, Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, who performed the in vitro fertilization procedure that made the 41-year-old singer's pregnancy possible. When he called her earlier this week to say the pregnancy test was positive, "You could hear her chuckling," he says. "She was very happy. So was René. They are both very thankful."
Rosenwaks, director of the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine at New York-Presbyerian Hospital/Weill Cornell Center Medical Center, implanted a embryo that had been kept frozen in liquid nitrogen for the past eight years. "She is very, very early in her pregnancy," says her doc.
Dion had her embryos frozen when she went through IVF while trying to conceive her first child, René-Charles, who was born in 2001. When she completed her performance run in Las Vegas in 2007, she consulted Rosenwaks about trying again. "She came back to have the embryos transferred back because she wanted to have another baby," he says.
According to the fertility specialist, freezing an embryo for eight years is not necessarily a problem. "There have been embryos that have been [frozen] for more than 10 years, and even more than 15 years, that have successfully thawed and resulted in a pregnancy," says Rosenwaks.
Meanwhile, the doctor says, "She is feeling well. So far, so good. I look forward to hearing the fetal heartbeat. René and Céline are both looking forward to pregnancy that is a healthy one." He adds, "There is no question she is ecstatic."
