The Hanson drummer's wife Kate gave birth to a baby boy named George Abraham Walker on October 17, he has confirmed. "We are very excited to share the addition of George Abraham Walker Hanson to our growing family. Abraham is healthy and we are happily sharing a little down time together as a family," Zac told People.

The couple's latest bundle of joy joins their eldest son John Ira Shepherd, five, and their only daughter, Junia Rosa Ruth, two. The 28-year-old star - who found fame with his brothers Isaac and Taylor in the 1990s following smash hit song "MMMBop" - noted that the tot will go by his middle name, Abraham, and weighed 8 lb, 7 oz at birth.

Earlier this year, Zac gushed that his wife's latest pregnancy was made all the more enjoyable as his eldest children couldn't wait to meet their new brother. "It's fun this time to watch the little ones so excitedly anticipating their new sibling," he said. The latest addition brings Hanson's collective number of children to 10. Zac's eldest sibling and bandmate, Isaac, 32, has two children - Everett, six, and Monroe, four. Meanwhile, 30-year-old Taylor has five children: Ezra, 10, Penelope, eight, River, six, Viggo, four, and eight-month-old Wilhelmina.

Kerry WashingtonKerry Washington doesn't drink alcohol.

The 36-year-old star admits she only indulges in booze on special occasions as she likes to keep a clear head in every situation, and would rather steer away from the high amount of calories embedded in an alcoholic beverage. Speaking to the New York Post newspaper, she said, "I actually live quietly. Work hard. Get bored easily. Don't drink. Who needs those empty calories? I watch what I eat. I train, do pilates. I drink maybe twice a year."

While the Emmy Award-nominated actress insists she likes to maintain a healthy diet, she previously admitted she suffers from severe allergies to a lot of food types and must travel with an EpiPen - a syringe containing epinephrine used to treat allergic reactions - at all times. "Most people do not know about this but I carry an EpiPen with me almost everywhere I go because I have a lot of food allergies, like fatal food allergies, that if I eat these things, I could wind up dying in an emergency room somewhere. So I always have an EpiPen. It's not sexy, but I'm being honest, I have an EpiPen in my bag," she explained.


Russell Brand has never voted. Despite taking over political magazine New Statesman as guest editor for one issue, the comedian admits he has never cast a single vote in a UK election because he doesn't believe in the British government system.

Speaking to BBC program Newsnight, he told host Jeremy Paxman, "I don't vote. I don't get my authority from this pre-existing paradigm which is quite narrow and only serves a few people. I look elsewhere for alternatives that might be of service to humanity. Alternate means or systems." When an incredulous Jeremy questioned his capabilities to discourse on politics, Russell insisted he was passionate about finding an alternative system which wouldn't leave the working class "disillusioned" and "despondent."

After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation. Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family," Orlando's spokesperson said.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star began dating Victoria's Secret beauty Miranda, 30, in 2007. The couple tied the knot three years later in July 2010 and welcomed their son in January 2011.

Orlando recently put his Los Angeles home in the Hollywood Hills on the market for $4.5 million.

Lily Collins and Zac EfronZac Efron and Lily Collins are reportedly dating again.

The pair - who briefly dated in 2012 - have sparked rumors they have rekindled their romance after they were spotted holding hands while wandering around the grounds of Disneyland in Los Angeles yesterday. The duo were said to have been in a casual relationship last year, but split after just three months as neither of them were particularly serious about each other and they wanted to focus on their careers.

"It's true that their schedules are crazy right now, which isn't conducive to a relationship being easy," a source said previously.

The 26-year-old actor - who entered rehab earlier this year for alcohol and cocaine abuse - was spotted getting cozy with his Hairspray co-star Brittany Snow at the beginning of the month, but admitted he has been surrounding himself with women to help him forget about his troubles.


Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon with their kidsMariah Carey has likened her painful shoulder injury to giving birth.

The "#Beautiful" hitmaker has been confined to a sling since July after taking a severe fall and dislocating her shoulder on the set of a music video, and she says the traumatic experience was not too dissimilar to the pain she felt giving birth to two-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

"I feel like I have suffered the toughest experience of my life about several things; one was having twins and anybody who's ever had multiples will know it is one of the most difficult experiences ever but the reward is just beyond - I can't even explain how rewarding having these babies is for me. But yeah, breaking my rib was not festive. Dislocating my shoulder was not a good thing, either."

Earlier this month, the 43-year-old songbird lamented on her tough road to recovery, telling fans her dislocated shoulder has been the "toughest experience" of her life in an emotional open letter posted on her Facebook page. "When people expected me to go, 'Here I am, I'm back and everything's great,' it didn't happen because my hand was still in tremendous pain and it took this long for it to heal," she wrote.

Simon CowellSimon Cowell raised $1 million for charity by singing.

The X Factor judge agreed to put his dignity on the line for a good cause after billionaire Power Rangers creator, Haim Saban, offered to make the huge donation if Simon sang the show's theme tune with him. The 54-year-old British star, whose girlfriend Lauren Silverman is expecting a baby boy in February, delighted the packed room of guests after he accepted the challenge to raise money for Friends of Israel Defense Forces in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night.

Midway through his performance, Simon offered to donate $100,000 of his own money if he was allowed to stop. Saban then agreed he could stop singing for $250,000, according to video footage obtained by gossip website TMZ.com.

The music mogul was also recently persuaded to show off his vocal talents by his fellow talent show judge Kelly Rowland during auditions for the X Factor in Denver, Colorado, after being urged to show off his skills after he was less than impressed with one wannabe's attempt at singing 1940s classic "Fools Rush In."


Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan is being sued by a truck driver who she crashed into in June 2012.

The 27-year-old actress faces more legal trouble as cement truck driver James Johnson has filed a lawsuit against her, claiming he suffered numerous injuries and "great physical, mental and nervous pain" following the incident, according to TMZ.

Lindsay crashed her Porsche 911S into James' vehicle after speeding along the Pacific Coast Highway last summer. The star was trying to get to the Malibu, California, set of her TV movie Liz & Dick and exceeded speed limits by driving at over 60 miles per hour. The troubled actress - who was on probation for stealing a necklace at the time of the incident - originally claimed she wasn't driving the vehicle and told police officers her now former assistant, Gavin Doyle, was behind the wheel, however, the aide confessed to officials that Lindsay was indeed driving.

Lindsay later pleaded "no contest" when charged with lying to police and accepted a plea deal which saw her agree to 90 days of court-ordered rehab. The starlet completed her rehab stint in early August and has taken proactive steps to get her life back on track, including seeking advice and guidance from talk show legend Oprah Winfrey.
