Heather Morris Baby Photo: Revealed! Cute!

Glee actress Heather Morris and her longtime boyfriend Taylor Hubbell became parents over the weekend, welcoming their first-born son Elijah. A first look at little Elijah swaddled in a blanket emerged online shortly after Heather Morris gave birth , courtesy of Taylor’s brother Adam. Take a look! The picture shows the little one, not even 48 hours old, sleeping peacefully on his bed. “The newest Mr. Hubbell #sayuncle,” the proud uncle wrote. Taylor Hubbell moved in with Heather Morris, his high school sweetheart from Arizona, in L.A. right after he graduated from the University of Louisiana in 2012. “He just finished school. He’s moving in with me,” the former Beyonce Knowles backup dancer said during a Late Show appearance a year ago. Soon after, he got Heather Morris nude and, well, the rest is history. While the pregnancy was not planned, the dancer-turned-actress made no secret of her desire to settle down with her longtime beau at some point. “I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won’t continue doing it,” she told Fitness in a 2011 interview. Morris is putting that theory into practice. She is still among the Glee Season 5 cast but has been downgraded from a main to a recurring member. Congratulations to the couple on their beautiful baby boy!

Elephant Mourns Dead Friend, Breaks Heart of Every Internet User

An elephant has once again broken the heart of the Internet. A few weeks after cameras caught a baby elephant crying because his mother tried to stomp on him, a photo has surfaced of one of these animals in Africa standing over her deceased friend. According to photographer John Chaney – who snapped the image as part of the 2012 National Geographic Traveler photo contest – the female stood guard over the corpse of her fellow creature for hours, chasing off birds and predators and eventually wrapping her trunk around her pal’s tusk. The photo was taken in 2007, but only recently went viral. As memorable and as depressing as this picture is, we can at least take solace in knowing that elephants can also know unbridled joy. Take this one playing soccer , or this elephant playing in the pool . Still, too many elephants in are being killed for their ivory (35,000 in 2012 alone, according to wildlife conversation groups), an issue Hillary Clinton hopes to do something about. The Secretary of State has announced an $80 million effort to stop this senseless slaughtering. “Unless the killing stops, African forest elephants are expected to be extinct within 10 years. I can’t even grasp what a great disaster this is ecologically, but also for everyone who shares this planet,” she said.
