Crow has ‘love to give’ for more children

New York – Sheryl Crow says she thinks her infant son, Wyatt, will be the first in a “whole troop” of children in her life.

“I’ve always wanted to adopt. Even if I’d had my own kids, I would have adopted,” she tells OK! magazine in its latest issue, now on newsstands. “I love the idea of adopting. I always thought I had an immense amount of love to give.”

Wyatt Steven Crow was born April 29. “I flew to where he was, which was in another state, and I took him home a day later. He was 1 day old,” the Los Angeles-based singer-guitarist says.

“I went through the proper channels and did it just like everybody else does it,” she says. “They don’t put you at the front of the line just because you’re a rock star.”

Crow, 45, underwent breast cancer surgery in February 2006, the same month that she and cycling champ Lance Armstrong announced they had broken off their engagement.

She calls Wyatt her “main man.”

“I’m very happy where I am and don’t feel any pressure to get married,” she says.

Bindi Irwin says new TV show will be ‘a stack of fun’

Beerwah, Australia – Bindi Irwin wants her new TV show to continue the educational and conservation work of her father, the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin.

“I’m proud to be showing kids that conservation and helping wildlife is a stack of fun,” the 8-year-old Bindi said Friday at the Australian launch of “Bindi: The Jungle Girl.”

“It’s just the most amazing thing that we could ever do,” she said.

Producers say the show will feature Steve Irwin in scenes shot before he was killed by a stingray last fall while filming one of his popular television documentaries.

Irwin’s widow, Terri, said her husband would have been proud of his daughter’s debut. The series will air on the Discovery Kids Channel in the United States and the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

“I think he would have said, ‘Crikey mate, I couldn’t wait for Bindi to take over,”‘ Terri Irwin said.

“Bindi: The Jungle Girl” premieres June 9 on the Discovery Kids Channel.

Bindi will also host “My Daddy the Croc Hunter,” a one-hour special to air June 8 on the Animal Planet.

Newman says acting career at end after 50 years

New York – Paul Newman says he’s given up acting.

“I’m not able to work anymore as an actor at the level I would want to,” Newman, 82, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday. “You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that’s pretty much a closed book for me.”

Newman, star of films such as “Hud,” “Cool Hand Luke” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” added: “I’ve been doing it for 50 years. That’s enough.”

He has other plates spinning. Newman plans to focus on the Dressing Room, his new organic restaurant in Westport, Conn., and his Hole in the Wall Gang camps for critically ill children.

His Newman’s Own brand has raised more than $200 million for charities.

Newman, who won an Oscar for his leading role in 1986’s “The Color of Money,” was last seen – or heard, rather – as the voice of Doc Hudson in the 2006 animated feature “Cars.”

No charges for O’Neal in brawl with older son

Los Angeles – Prosecutors declined Friday to charge Ryan O’Neal with assault with a deadly weapon for firing a gun during a brawl with his older son earlier this year.

There was insufficient evidence “to prove this case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to a report from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.

O’Neal, 66, was arrested Feb. 3 at his Malibu home for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was freed on a $50,000 bond.

The actor has said he fired a warning shot to scare his 42-year-old son, Griffin O’Neal, who had attacked him with a fireplace poker.
