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.

Jennifer Lopez, who has been looking like she's going to pop for about four months, and her sunken-cheeked mate, who has been looking like a strong gust of wind could blow him away for about four years, have checked into their reserved hospital room in Long Island, presumably to give birth to their twins. The birth of the long-awaited babies should bring a smile to the new parents' faces for more reasons than one, rumor has it that People is paying $6 million — a sum that could put an obscene number of less privileged children through college — for the first photos of the Lopez-Anthonys.

BLESS THE CHILD Details concerning where or when are fuzzy, but rumor has it Lauryn Hill has given birth to her 5th child — a baby girl — recently. Hill was briefly in the news last year after she launched her much-anticipated tour, during which she was accused of looking strangely and acting erratically. With Wyclef telling anyone who will listen that the woman is bipolar, I'm starting to think that she might be the lower-profile, earthier, black version of Britney Spears. And that's unfortunate.

Run's House is getting a new cast member for next season. Four-month-old Miley Justine is the newest member of the Simmons clan. She was adopted when she was one month old, after the Simmons' struggle with losing a baby and going through the adoption process was captured on film.

Says Rev. Run about the new addition:

She's brought so much energy to the house. My wife cried the other day when Miley busted out laughing. It's heaven to have this baby come into our house at this time, at Christmas.

Since Run's House fills the cheesy-reality-show opening on my TV lineup, I'm looking forward to seeing how an infant changes the dynamic. [CBB]

Tameka Foster Raymond is officially the mother of Usher's son. Sources in Atlanta say she gave birth to the tyke Monday night and the family plans to leave the hospital tomorrow.

While there's no telling who the child will take after personality-wise, one thing's for sure — no matter which parent the little one ends up favoring, he will definitely grow up to be the strong, masculine-looking type.

UPDATE: The new parents speak.

"We are so happy and proud of our beautiful son," the couple said in a statement. "What a blessing!"

Usher Raymond V was born in Atlanta, Ga. at 9:55 p.m., and weighed in at 7 lbs. 9 oz., according to the statement.

That's all? There's nothing left to do but wait until the magazines start their bidding war. I hope they know the first shots of Usher Raymond V aren't bringing in Suri Cruise/Shiloh Jolie-Pitt moulah.

A new Madonna "tell-all" book is resurrecting a rumor that circulated a few years ago — that the music icon was more than friends with another music icon, now deceased, who was in the news recently after vandals slung a noose around a statue of him. In fact, she wanted his babies.

O'Brien says Madonna, in her mid-30s, "desperately wanted children and had various relationships with unlikely men." The singer's friend Alison Clarkson recalls when she was briefly dating Tupac Shakur, one year before his death.

"She was going out with him … but homegirls were saying to him, 'I can't believe you're going out with a white girl,'" - so she got dumped!

Well, that explains why the relationship ended. When homegirls, whoever this author thinks they are, say stop dating white girls (and can Madonna even be classified in such simple terms?), black men stop. It's a known fact.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon gave birth to twin boys — Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas — last Thursday. I'm sure she's grateful to have two healthy boys and to get them the hell out of her stomach. It was starting to look really, really uncomfortable.

I rarely do "Caption This" posts, preferring to titillate bore you with my dazzling words. But this picture, spotted at Celebrity Babylon, begs a different sort of treatment. It was bad enough when a young Justin Combs was caught getting a lap dance at a kids' party, but the glint in the eyes of little D'Lila Star or Jessie James as she holds her Daddy's platinum card is proof that Diddy is breeding a generation of dangerous mini-hims.

Please, weigh in with captions. The best one wins a prize!*

*My undying respect.

Sarah Chapman, Diddy's woman-on-the-side, named the not-so-secret daughter she had with her not-so-secret lover, Chance. As in, "baby, you will have all of the "Chances" Mommy didn't, because I made sure your daddy was the third richest man in hip hop!"

Over the past year, Combs' reps repeatedly denied to us that he'd fathered the child with Atlanta beauty Sarah Chapman. Combs now tells us he'd been holding off on acknowledging Chance as his blood until DNA tests had been completed.

"At first, I wasn't sure if this was my child," he said. "Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."

Or maybe Diddy has just been holding off on acknowledging Chance until the shit hit the fan and both of his baby mama's started blabbing to any magazine or blog that would print their quotes.

The most unfortunate thing is that little Chance has two sisters who are shockingly close to her age, but it's not likely she'll ever really get to meet them. Oh well, she'll have all the toys money can buy!

Okay, Mary Louise Parker's new daughter is cute. Trendy, as I mentioned before. But cute and, I would assume, better off. Brad Pitt's probably already engineering play-dates, although Zahara looks like she might be really bossy during play time.

Looking brown but less than Foxy (check the courtroom sketch) our favorite anger management case was sentenced to a year (!) in jail Friday for her numerous probation violations. The judge didn't really buy it when the supposedly three-months pregnant Foxy — the pregnancy wasn't brought up in court and lawyers and relatives declined to comment — said she was humbled by the three weeks she spent in Rikers Island.

Nothing Foxy Brown said at a Manhattan probation-violation hearing yesterday could sway the judge, who sentenced the rap diva to a year in prison for repeatedly thumbing her nose at the criminal-justice system - including getting arrested three times in the last eight months.

"Miss Marchand," Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told the rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, "it's too little, too late."

Something that might have set the judge over the edge was the fact that, in addition to everything else, Foxy had stopped attending her court ordered anger management classes, which, if nothing else, explains that Blackberry-throwing incident. If she is pregnant, she'll likely have her child in prison. And, although I don't like to see women convicted of crimes as petty as Foxy's have to give birth in the prison hospital, I don't know what else she really expected to happen. See ya in '08, Foxy.
