Gwyneth Paltrow,singer are parents
LOS ANGELES -- Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has given birth to her first child, a baby girl named Apple Blythe Alison Martin. The baby, weighing 9 pounds, 11 ounces, was born in a London hospital Friday after what Paltrow's husband, Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, described as "a long labor." Mother and daughter were said to be doing fine.
"We are 900 miles over the moon, and we'd like to thank everyone at the hospital who have looked after us amazingly," Martin said in a statement released by spokesman Murray Chalmers.
Paltrow announced last December that she and Martin, 26, were expecting a baby. The couple, who have been scrupulous about maintaining their privacy, were wed in December during a private ceremony in Santa Barbara.
The 31-year-old actress, who won an Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love," is the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and the late director Bruce Paltrow. She hinted during an interview with W magazine earlier this year that she may do as her mother did and put her acting career on hold to rear her child.
"My mother turned down every fantastic movie there was," said Paltrow, who starred opposite her mother in last year's film "Sylvia." "She turned down these amazing things that would have made her a huge movie star."
Moore will 'tell all'about Disney clash
CANNES, France -- Michael Moore said he will eventually "tell all" about his clash with Walt Disney Co., which stopped subsidiary Miramax from distributing his anti-President Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." Moore was at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, where the film was to premiere Monday in the main competition.
Film critic Roger Ebert, who moderated a panel with Moore, asked Moore if he thought about making an Eisner-related movie called "Michael and Me."
The question was a reference to Moore's first film, "Roger & amp; Me," which chronicles Moore's attempts to confront General Motors chief Roger Smith about the automaker's plant closings.
"I have a lot to say about Disney, and a lot that hasn't been reported," said Moore, who won an Academy Award for his scathingly funny "Bowling for Columbine," an indictment of America's gun culture.
Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who run Miramax, have said they plan to buy "Fahrenheit 9/11" and find a different distributor.
Julio Iglesias to wedlongtime girlfriend
NEW YORK -- To all the girls he's loved before, Julio Iglesias has a message: He's going to love only one girl from now on. The Spanish singer plans to marry his girlfriend of the past 14 years, Miranda Rijnsburger. The couple has four children: Miguel, 6; Rodrigo, 5; and twin 3-year-old daughters, Victoria and Cristina.
He and Rijnsburger had discussed waiting to wed until their children were old enough to understand that they were doing it for love, not a sense of obligation.
This will be Iglesias' second marriage. His first to Isabel Preysler, mother of singers Enrique Iglesias and Julio Iglesias Jr., was annulled.
