FIRST LOOK: The News in Brief, May 30, 2006

WORLD'S HOTTEST BABY! At long last, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcoming a baby girl, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born on Saturday in Namibia, Pitt's publicist announced. And just like that, the pecking order of A-list babies was drastically shaken (Suri Cruise, who?) as Shiloh took her rightful place on top.

THANKS FOR HAVING US: To show their gratitude toward Namibia and its people, Pitt and Jolie donating $300,000 to improve the maternity wards of two public hospitals, plus an additional $15,000 to establish a school and a community center in the district of Swakopmund. Meanwhile, Namibian officials stating Shiloh Nouvel is eligible for Namibian citizenship.

ON THE LOOSE: Michelle Rodriguez released from jail Thursday after serving four hours and 20 minutes of her 60-day prison sentence for violating her probation due to overcrowding in the Los Angeles County Jail. Guess she really doesn't stay in one place for too long.

BABY BOOM: Mira Sorvino and husband Chris Backus welcoming their second child together on Monday, a son named Johnny, People reports. We are stunned--stunned--by this oh-so-normal choice of name.

ON HOLD: Luciano Pavarotti postponing five June dates on his worldwide farewell tour due to complications from back surgery. Apparently, it's hard to say goodbye.

BRAIN PAIN: Ben Affleck rushed to a Cambridge, Massachusetts, hospital on Monday, where he was treated for a migraine and released, his rep said. Said migraine was not believed to be of the wow-I-drank-too-many-beers-at-my-Memorial-Day-cookout variety.

IRIE HEIRESS: Paris Hilton telling Hong Kong magazine Prestige that her upcoming album will be a mixture of reggae, hip-hop and pop, with the goal of having "something for everybody." She aims to please.

SADDLE UP: William Shatner promoting therapeutic horseback riding programs in Israel to benefit disabled children. The actor seeking to raise $10 million for nearly 30 riding programs in the country in hopes that his efforts will contribute to peace in the Middle East. Worth a shot, anyway.

FACE THE MUSIC: Ludacris, 50 Cent and now Ice Cube criticizing Oprah Winfrey for not having more rappers and hip-hop stars on her talk show. Winfrey trying to establish her street cred by pointing out she has a few 50 Cent songs on her iPod--isn't that good enough?

BAD NEWS: CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier critically injured and her soundman, James Brolan, and cameraman, Paul Douglas, killed in a car bomb attack on their convoy in Baghdad on Monday.

REMEMBERED: Paul Gleason, who starred in Trading Places and The Breakfast Club, died Saturday of mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer linked to asbestos, his wife said. He was 67.

CANNES DO: Director Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley winning the Palme d'Or in a unanimous vote at the Cannes Film Festival Sunday. Yes, we know you still won't go see it.
