There's nothing worse than heading back to work after a three-day weekend that went by too fast. Then again, there's nothing better than cute babies. Halle Berry took her daughter, Nahla, to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens over the weekend, and extreme adorableness ensued. I offer these photos to help brighten your day.

MLK'S LEGACY LIVES ON It's hard to believe, but the very first grandchild of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King was born Sunday in Atlanta to Martin Luther King III and his wife Andrea. "We are excited about our precious gift from God and cannot express how fortunate we feel to have our beautiful baby girl. It is truly the happiest day of our lives. I know my parents are smiling down from heaven," the new father said in the statement. They named the child after MLK's eldest daughter Yolanda, who died almost exactly a year ago.

So far in 2008, T.I. has received the sweetheart plea deal of the century and, as of this morning, delivered a brand new baby boy with his girlfriend, Tiny. Considering the fact that in 2007 he was facing 10 years in jail for illegally purchasing machine guns on the day of the BET Hip Hop Awards, things are definitely looking up for him this year. The couple named the baby Major; his big brother is named King. They just might grow up with delusions of grandeur, but as long as they stay away from the machine guns (and drug dealing, etc.) they should be good.

It turns out that Jennifer Lopez only pretended to learn a valuable lesson about letting the media into her life after her trainwreck of a relationship with Ben Affleck. Why else would she agree to star in a reality show with Marc Anthony about raising her twins?

The show "deliver a slice of [Lopez's] life that audiences have never seen before, as she takes on her career and launches a new fragrance while trying to juggle her new responsibilities as a first-time mom," according to TLC. They had to throw that fragrance mention in there, didn't they? At this point, I would like to be able to indignantly announce that I will not be watching, but we all know that's not true. [NYDN]

The Usher-Tameka baby is very real. And very cute. Here's proof. [TMZ]

Adorable twin babies you conceived with your strange husband: Priceless.

Pictures of said adorable twin babies on the cover of People: $6 million.

LUCKY BABY Not only destined for great beauty, but also filthy rich: "Halle Berry has everything she needs for that 7-pound, 4-ounce girl she and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry welcomed on Sunday. Though Halle's camp is keeping mum about the name, we can tell you that the couple has spent close to $60,000 outfitting nurseries in their three homes. Our source says Halle went for "all whites and neutrals" while shopping at Petit Tresor in L.A. And everything — from the sheets to the stuffed animals — had to be made with cotton that had never had a mist of pesticide on it. "She's obsessed with organic," says our spy. Except for that $1,200 Mia Bossi leather diaper bag."

UPDATE: The baby has a name – Nahla Ariela Aubry.

As of Sunday, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry are officially the parents of a little girl. This news is overdue, since it seems like the woman has been pregnant for over a year. That's all the info I've got, but, of course, the rep says Berry and baby are doing "great."

COVER WARS Some day about 20 years from now (Who are we kidding? Try 15 or 16 years from now), in some Hyde-like club in LA, an impossibly skinny-but-stylish Harlow Madded is totally going to drunkenly rub this in Max Aguilera-Bratmans face. Her cover of People, with mom Nicole Richie, is on track to sell 1.8 million copies, while Christina Aguilera's cover with newborn Max sold far less. Jennifer Lopez's assistants better go out and buy a million copies of her upcoming cover with twins Max and Emme to avoid an inevitable diva meltdown. [MSNBC]

WAITING FOR LAST NIGHT Jennifer Lopez finally gave birth to her twins, a boy and a girl, last night in a Long Island hospital.

The babies were born early Friday in Long Island, N.Y. The girl was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and the boy followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs.

"Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," Lopez's manager Simon Fields tells PEOPLE exclusively.

They're the first children for Lopez, 38, and the fourth and fifth for Anthony, 39.

The couple will be able to buy their new babies far more than they need with the $6 million payout they're about to pocket for exclusive photo rights.
