Naomi Watts

Good news, Naomi Watts finally popped and gave birth to a baby boy. And it is good news, not just because I get to write about something other than jail, drunk driving, and general Hollywood idiocy, but it’s also good news because I was really starting to worry about Naomi. That girl was huge! Sure, sure she was all glowy and maternal, but that chick looked like she swallowed a small planet.

Anyway, Naomi and her fiancee/baby daddy Liev Schreiber are the proud parents of Alexander Pete Schrieber who weighed in at 8 lbs., 4 oz.

Congratulations to the whole family.

Actress Naomi Watts married her long time boyfriend Liev Schreiber in a secret ceremony last week. The two are expecting their first baby and they managed to beat the stork to the altar.

From The Daily Mail:

Both Naomi and Liev are intensely private people and wanted a very private, personal wedding. They decided relatively recently that they wanted to be married before the birth, in keeping with their traditional, family-centred backgrounds. Nothing’s been confirmed, but they’ve discussed the possibility of having a far more lavish do in the wintertime, or even early next year, where everyone can let their hair down and toast their nuptials in style.”

Naomi is of course the lovely and talented Oscar nominated actress from such films as 21 Grams and King Kong. Liev is…hmmm…well he’s the guy who knocked up Naomi Watts and then married her.

Naomi Watts and baby daddy Liev Schreiber are in a race to the altar. The preggers Naomi and Liev are reportedly anxious to get hitched before the little one shows up and asks what “illegitimate” means.

From The New York Post:

Naomi Watts and her boyfriend, Liev Schreiber, have decided they don’t want their unborn child to be illegitimate. The couple once planned to marry after their first child is born. But now Watts wants to tie the knot with Schreiber, 39, before she gives birth in late summer. “There’s not enough time to plan a big wedding,” an insider told In Touch. “They’ll have just 25 guests for the nuptials in her hometown of Sydney, Australia, with a lavish wedding reception for all their stateside friends after the baby is born.” Watts’ rep declined comment.

I like the old fashioned sentiment. It’s a nice change from the current we don’t need to get married/use a sperm donor/buy a kid from Africa path to parenthood in Hollywood. Besides, pregnant brides are so cute the way they waddle down the aisle and then ask for a potty break half way through the ceremony.

Naomi Watts is going to be a mama. According to In Touch Weekly, Naomi and boyfriend Liev Schreiber are going to be buying diapers and maybe diamond rings. A source revealed to the magazine:

“This wasn’t planned, but Naomi and Liev are thrilled.” The Australian actress, 38, and Schreiber, 39, have been dating for almost two years. “They’ll probably be married before the baby is born,” the source said. No official statement has been released by the couple.

I have to admit, I took me a minute to actually remember who Naomi Watts is. Where has she been? The last time I saw her she was sitting next to Heath Ledger at the Oscars a few years ago and then…poof, Heath’s got a new blonde on his arm and Naomi has vanished. Sure it was probably a little embarssing to get dumped for Michelle Williams, but this girl was Witness Protection Program off the radar.

But nothing says comeback like a baby and a wedding…except for, you know, an actual comeback.
