Sheryl Crow is a mom again.
“I have some exciting news to share with you guys,” the musician announced on her official website, “Wyatt has a new little brother!”
Crow, 48, adopted now 3-year-old Wyatt in 2007, and also tells fans, “Levi James was born April 30.”
“Just wanted you all to be the first to hear the good news!” says the single mom’s website.
Crow, who formerly was engaged to Lance Armstrong, split with the bicyclist in 2006.
Armstrong, who had three children by a previous marriage, was believed to be unable to father any more children because of undergoing chemotherapy for testicular cancer.
In December 2008, Armstrong announced that his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, was pregnant with his child. In April 2010, Armstrong, using Twitter, announced that he was having a fifth child, to be born in October.
Right after her split from Armstrong, Crow was also treated for cancer.
Crow announced on her website in 2007, that she had adopted 2-week-old Wyatt Steven Crow. The child was born on April 29, 2007.She, Wyatt — and now Levi — make their home on a 154-acre farm outside Nashville, Tenn.
Charlie Sheen may not be serving 30 days in jail — just 30 nights.
An official in the Aspen jail tells TMZ Sheen is eligible for work release — meaning it’s possible he could get a job in Aspen where he would spend his days, and come back to the jail to sleep at night.
When Sheen goes to court on Monday to plea bargain his case, the judge can declare him eligible for work release. Then apparently the sheriff can decide if Sheen meets the criteria for work release, which includes working at a productive job in the community. If the criteria is met, Charlie would get a daytime pass.
Sheen is expected to plead no contest to 3rd-degree misdemeanor assault stemming from his fight with wife Brook Mueller and accept a 30-day sentence. He’ll serve only 17 days if he’s well-behaved behind bars.
British actor Orlando Bloom has revealed he’s dyslexic.
Speaking at the Child Mind Institute in NYC, he called it “an ongoing struggle,” according to the New York Daily News. “I have more trouble studying scripts and memorizing lines than most (other actors).”
Growing up, Bloom, now 33, said his mother inspired him to confront disorder.
“My mom used to tell me, ‘If you read 50 books, I’ll get you a motorbike,'” he laughed. “So it inspired me to read a lot and work through . But I never quite got to 50. And I never got that motorbike!”
Dyslexia didn’t alienate him in high school.
Asked if having a girlfriend made him less distracted when he was younger, he blushed and laughed before blurting out, “No.”
A judge has rejected claims by a nanny that she was mistreated by Paul McCartney‘s ex-wife, Heather Mills.
Sara Trumble told an employment tribunal in southern England that she was hired to look after Mills and McCartney’s daughter Beatrice, now 6, but was relegated to domestic chores after returning from maternity leave in 2008. She also claimed that Mills forced her to work long hours without extra pay.
Tribunal judge Steven Vowles dismissed Trumble’s claims for sexual discrimination and unfair dismissal, saying he “did not find the claimant to be a persuasive witness.” “The claimant’s account of the respondent’s alleged animosity towards her pregnancy, maternity and childcare responsibility was not supported by the surrounding facts proved by the tribunal,” the ruling said.
Mills had denied the claims, saying she had treated 26-year-old Trumble like a daughter. She said the relationship turned sour when she refused to give the nanny money to pay for breast enlargement surgery.
A spokeswoman said Mills was delighted with the ruling.
Mills and McCartney married in 2002 and divorced in 2008.
