Skateboarder Tony Hawk and his wife Lhotse welcomed their first child on Monday, according to his rep. Kadence Clover Hawk was born at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, Calif. The little girl, who is the couple's first child together, weighed in an 8 lbs., 8 oz., and measured 21-inches long. Hawk, 40, and Lhotse, 35, got married in 2006 in front of 80 friends and family members on the island of Tavarua, Fiji. Hawke also has three sons, Riley, 15, Spencer, 9, and Keegan, 6.

Anyone think that maybe Angelina is having more than two???? Kind of strange being hospitalized a month before twins are born and she looked pretty darn huge a month ago.

My hairdresser was put on hospital bed rest for a month before she had her twins.

I don't think it's strange-maybe her cervix is shortening early or she's having some early contractions. That happened to me and I only had one in there! Also sometimes twins usually don't stay in there until 40 weeks! I can't wait to find out when she does have them!

And she is so underweight anyway, she might be having problems nourshing them adequately. Any multiple birth has increased risks to the health of both the mom & the babies. And you never know what is going on inside the womb. Better safe than sorry.

I'm just wondering why in the world a press conference has been called about the babies. I mean, a press conference? Is she the Queen of England now?

(Now I am worried something bad has happened to them and I will look like a callous witch.)

It was said somewhere that Angelina never gives out her real due date. So they could be due now or soon or something.

The press conference updates have been breaking into regularly scheduled shows on 'E' all morning. Thing is, they're all speaking French and there's no translator, so no idea what's going on, LOL. What a circus!

This is what one article that was just updated said... "UPDATE: "Everything is normal," Angie's doc said during the press conference. "She is very well, and she's okay. ... Brad and Angelina want everyone to know that everything is going well." The babies will arrive "in the weeks to come."" Article, with new update at bottom

PUH-LEESE do we really need a press conference to let us all know that Ang and babies are doing fine? So sad that so many people really are so interested, yet they probably don't care nearly as much about their own extended families.

Good lord. I can rest so much easier now. I can't believe I am even feeding into the frenzy. I don't even like her. My dislike for her is completely irrational, but very strong, lol. I keep telling myself how silly I am because she does such good humanitarian work and I believe strongly in all of that, but she still leaves me completely cold. I would say it is just pure female jealousy, but there are plenty of drop-dead gorgeous women whom I like and admire so it can't just be that. Oh well, I've wasted enough time on this already. Next!

Yeah, ever since she decided to eliminate her father completely from her life because in his excitement about being a new grandfather, he spilled the beans about her first adoption, she has never been a favorite of mine either.

Well, I adore her. Doesn't hurt that gorgeous Brad is by her side either. I wish I were at home to see the news breaks! They are like hollywood royalty so the hysteria over these babies doesn't surprise me. I think some of us also worry because we know twins pose a special set of risks.

I'm always the Jen, never the Angelina. That's probably what it is for me. I have deep, deep psychological problems, I admit it.

After Brad appeared to dump Jennifer for her, I haven't been that fond of either of them. Brad was one of my favorites and he went down a peg or two in my book. Of course I don't really know what happened between them, but I can't get past the fact that he hooked up with Angie so quickly. Also, she really turned me off when she was married to Billy Bob and their weird habits like wearing each others blood around their necks. Ick. I did like her better w/her humanitarian work, but then the thing with Brad just blew that all for me.

I kind of agree, Brenda. I'm not over-the-top interested, but I do like her. She has a book "Notes From My Travels: Visits With Refugees In Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Ecuador". She is on it as author, but I'd say it's more about her than written by her. I have it, but haven't read it yet.

I'll have to see if the library has that book. I would be interested in reading it. I have to wonder if Jenn weren't still single and dating all over town, if she were happily married with a family of her own, perhaps people wouldn't still keep bring up her breakup with Brad. I don't judge Jolie for her estrangement with her father. We really dont know any details about it. She was very close to her mother so we know she can hold long relationships. She's also friendly with her ex's.

Brenda, it's not a big book. I have it in smallish trade form. Don't know if it was ever hardcover. I heard not long ago that things are little better between Angie and her father.

I think she went through a "phase" with BillyBob, her Dad, etc. then she grew up.

Here's my somewhat unpopular take on all this: Brad made no secret of the fact that he was deeply longing for children. He said it many times in many interviews when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Often. I, personally, believe that if Aniston had given him the children he longed for, they would still be together. As for Jolie's father, she has said that he hurt her family so deeply. She said she hasn't seen one of his movies (sorry, can't remember which one) because the woman he destroyed his family for is in it with him. Before Jolie and Pitt got together, I recall an interview with Jolie in which she said that she would never bring a man around her son, Maddox, until she knew that man would be the boy's father. I believe that it is the children that brought Jolie and Pitt together. I think it's the most important thing in life to both of them and that the bond over children is strong. Perhaps if Aniston, while still his wife, had recognized his need and fulfilled it, they would still be together. The man wanted children. Now he has them and seems to be thriving with them. ETA: In a recent Entertainment Weekly article, Jolie said that she and her father have been speaking, thanks to Brad, but they have agreed to keep it private. It was his invasion of her privacy that she took offense to because it started a firestorm of rumors...and she felt it was wrong for her own father to bring that on her when she has enough of it from outsiders.

I've always thought the same thing Beekind. Jen had a gem there -- a man who was dying to be a dad! But she was uninterested, too busy, not ready yet, whatever. Who knows if she will ever have kids. I don't blame him at all for leaving to be with a woman who wants a soccer team of kids. Women do it all the time too -- leave men because they won't start a family. P.S. I just requested that book from the libary. If it's small, there's a good chance i'll actually finish it. LOL.

I do think Brad and Angelina seem to be a better fit than Brad and Jen because of the children. That's fine and I wish them well and hope they are wonderful parents.
