Grant, Gill welcome baby
Singer Amy Grant gave birth to a baby girl early Monday. The child is her fourth and the first with her husband, country singer Vince Gill.
Grant gave birth at 12:36 a.m. in a Nashville, Tenn., hospital, said Gill's spokeswoman Allison Auerbach. The child weighs 7 pounds and 9 ounces and is 19 1/4 inches.
Gill and Grant were married on March 10, 2000.
Grant has three children with ex-husband Gary Chapman, a Christian music singer and television host: Matt, 13; Millie, 11; and Sarah, 8. Gill has an 18-year-old daughter, Jenny, with ex-wife Janis Gill, who sings with the duo country music duo Sweethearts of the Rodeo.
Hail, Danny
Grabbing a cab in New York City may be a whole lot easier, thanks to Danny Glover.
The actor complained in 1999 to the city's taxi commission that cabbies passed him by because he's black.
"Most black men I meet in New York City thank me because now they can get a cab," Glover told about 300 Colby College students.
Speaking at the private college in Waterville, Maine, on Saturday to help celebrate diversity, Glover told students to reject divisive social, ethnic and religious stereotypes and look at the world in a new way.
"Diversity is about honoring and celebrating our interdependence, our basic humanness," he said. "It's the very best of who we are."
Kathie Lee goes bad
Playing a bad girl was a change of pace for Kathie Lee Gifford, but she says it wasn't such a stretch.
The former talk show host stars as a raging, drug-addicted sitcom actress in "Spinning Out of Control," an original movie that airs Sunday night on E! Entertainment Television.
Gifford, who sat next to Regis Philbin for 15 years as the co-host of "Live with Regis & Kathie Lee," was known for her perpetually sunny disposition until she left the show in July.
"I've played nice for 15 years," she said. "I'm tired of that."
Comeback kid
Mr. T is back, fool.
The muscled and heavily accessorized actor who helped lead television's "The A-Team" has popped up lately in TV ads for 1-800-COLLECT, Lipton foods and Nick at Nite.
"This is my comeback," he told Time magazine for its March 19 issue. "I'm here to entertain the people like no one else can. But you have to have a setback in order to have a comeback."
That came six years ago when he was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. Mr. T, whose real name is Lawrence Tureaud, kept news of the disease quiet, but soon decided to strike back.
"I decided to bring cancer out of the closet," says the 48-year-old former Army officer, bodyguard and professional wrestler. Now I wear my cancer like I wear my blackness I'm proud!"
