Evelyn Lozada, Carl Crawford Welcome First Child Together!

Evelyn Lozada and Carl Crawford are parents for the first time together. The Basketball Wives star and the L.A. Dodgers outfielder welcomed a son on Saturday! Born at 3:55 a.m., the new addition weighed in at 8 lbs. and measured 21 inches long. Crawford by her side, Lozada delivered naturally in just four pushes. “It was very quick and she is happy because she was super nervous,” Lozada’s rep said. “Baby boy is so handsome and she can’t wait to reveal him to the world.” In a Tweet posted Saturday afternoon, Evelyn Lozada wrote: “I have EXCITING NEWS ! Thank you God for my blessing!” It’s the first child for Crawford and Lozada, but her second overall, joining big sister Shaniece, 20, her daughter from a previous relationship. “I’m excited about being a mommy all over again. This is something I’ve been wanting for years and I can’t believe it’s finally happening,” she said. Although the mom-to-be initially kept the identity of the baby’s father a secret, she and Carl Crawford got engaged over the holidays last winter. She was previously married to Chad Johnson, until he head-butted her in an argument purportedly over his cheating just weeks after they married. Here’s hoping for better from Carl. Congrats to the couple!

Levi Johnston to Bristol Palin: You Hijacked Our Kid!!

Levi Johnston is sick of Bristol Palin (remember when they were a thing/!) and the fact that she absconded with their kid, moving him from Alaska to Arizona. Hilariously, he wants her held in contempt of court as a result. Levi just filed legal documents asking a judge order Bristol Palin , who’s currently going to school in Arizona, to return their son Tripp to Alaska immediately. He says all he got was a text saying she was moving out of state. In their custody battle, Levi Johnson claims both were ordered to keep Tripp, now five years old, in their home state unless they both agreed he could travel. Palin sources roll their eyes, claiming Levi’s just starting drama. Johnston dated Palin in high school, then they pretended to get engaged when he got her pregnant and her mom was named the GOP’s V.P. candidate. They split up shortly after the 2008 presidential election. In the ensuing years, they frequently sparred over their son and battled to see which one of them could milk their 15 minutes of fame more shamelessly. All the while, Tripp has lived predominantly with Bristol. For her part, she called Levi out last year for not paying child support, and he’s known forever that Sarah Palin’s daughter is going to school in Arizona. Also, Levi, who married Sunny Oglesby and has another kid (Breeze Beretta), rarely sees Tripp anyway, so him complaining about this is just ridiculous. Not as ridiculousness as these pics … but pretty darn close: 17 Ridiculous Pics of Levi Johnston Open Slideshow 1.

Snooki: Pregnant with Second Child?!

Snooki is reportedly pregnant with her second child. She hasn’t confirmed it, but it would certainly give her somthing to talk about on her book tour. The Baby Bumps author and fiance Jionni LaValle are reportedly a few months along, according to a Page Six report. Her first child is about 18 months. Snooks is reportedly trying to keeping things under wraps so it doesn’t put the kibosh on some lucrative appearances she has lined up … the irony. Sure enough, Snooki ‘s camp replied to a quote request with “no comment.” If Baby No. 2 is anything like big brother Lorenzo, she could be in trouble. “Lorenzo is always beating me up and pulling my hair,” she said. “He’s really growing his own personality. Like, he’s crazy. He’s always getting into trouble. Every time we say no, he just does it. He doesn’t listen.” Not pulling hair and beating her up in the hot, girl fight sense, either. With Snooki and also-pregnant BFF JWoww , you always have to clarify such things. Congrats to Snook and Jionni LaValle if the rumor is true! We bet it is but have no confirmation right now.

Bree Walker, Former Los Angeles News Anchor, Arrested for DUI

Bree Walker finds herself making news instead of breaking it. The former KCBS news anchor in Los Angeles was arrested early Wednesday morning on suspicion of drunk driving, according to the Anaheim police. She was pulled just past midnight after making an illegal left turn.  Sgt. Tim Schmidt says officers on the scene smelled alcohol on Walker’s breath and that the “disheveled” 61-year old’s eyes were “blood-shot and watery.” Walker was arrested after failing a field sobriety test and taken to the Anaheim police station where she submitted to a blood test and was released four hours later. Walker anchored in Los Angeles throughout 1980s and 1990s and, prior to that, she worked at Channel 10 in San Diego. 38 Scandalous Celebrity Mug Shots Open Slideshow 1.

Michael Dunn Convicted of Attempted Murder For Firing on SUV Full of Teens Playing "Rap Crap"

Michael Dunn was found guilty on four charges, including three for attempted second-degree murder, in connection with a shooting involving an SUV full of teens. Dunn allegedly got into an argument with them over loud music. He is looking at decades in prison, and yet there was no verdict on the first-degree murder charge related to the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. Michael Dunn Guilty of Attempted Murder Dunn’s lawyer, Cory Strolla, told reporters on Saturday that his client was “in disbelief … even as he sat next to me, he asked, how is this happening.” “It has not set in. I don’t think it will set in anytime soon.” The incomplete finale to this emotional, hot-button trial, largely because of the fact that Dunn is white and the teens who were shot at, including Davis, are black. For many, the Florida case echoed George Zimmerman ‘s trial for the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin about 120 miles down the road in Sanford. While the state’s controversial Stand Your Ground law wasn’t used by Dunn (or Zimmerman), his lawyers similarly argued that he fired in self-defense. Given the partially hung jury, State Attorney Angela Corey said prosecutors would press for a new trial in Duval County, Fla., on the murder charge. “Justice for Jordan Davis is as important as it is for any victim,” said Corey, whose office also famously handled the Zimmerman case in 2012-13. Dunn is not a free man , unlike Zimmerman. Nor may he ever be. Prosecutor Erin Wolfson explained on Saturday night that each attempted second-degree murder conviction carries a minimum sentence of at least 20 years. “You are looking at basically at life in prison,” Strolla said, even as he vowed to challenge the convictions. “At 47, that’s a life sentence regardless of count one.” The decision to convict on these counts, and not on murder, didn’t come easily for a jury that had deliberated for about 30 hours since getting the case. Judge Russell Healey said earlier that the jury of four white women, two black women, four white men, an Asian woman and a Hispanic man was “struggling, obviously.” “But it’s not for want of trying to reconcile all of this,” he said. “I think we’ve got some analytical people trying to do just that – trying to analyze this from every possible angle.” The lack of a murder conviction upset some, including protesters who marched outside the Jacksonville courthouse calling for Corey to lose her job. “The people united will never be defeated,” they also chanted. Yet Davis’ mother, Lucia McBath, didn’t express any anger when she addressed reporters last night. Her family, she said, is “so very happy to have just a little bit of closure.” “It’s sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment, and I will pray for him,” McBath said. “And I’ve asked my family to pray for him.” It was back on November 23, 2012, when Michael Dunn pulled into a gas station in Jacksonville, parking next to a red Dodge Durango full of teenagers. The teens pulled in for gum and cigarettes; Dunn ad just left his son’s wedding with his fiancee, who’d gone inside the convenience store for wine and chips. Dunn didn’t like the loud music – “rap crap,” as he called it – coming from the teens’ SUV. He asked them to turn it down, and what came next depends on whom you ask. Dunn says Davis threatened him, and he decided to take matters into his own hands upon seeing what he thought was the barrel of a gun sticking out of the Durango. But prosecutors asserted that it was Dunn who lost control, firing three volleys of shots – 10 bullets total – at the SUV because of the music he didn’t like. Prosecutors challenged specifically what he did after the altercation: He left the gas station and drove 40 miles away to a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine. There, Dunn walked his dog, ordered a pizza, then drank rum and cola, “stunned and horrified, (shocked how) things escalated the way they did over a common courtesy.” After learning almost six hours later that he had killed Davis, Dunn testified that he became “crazy with grief,” experiencing stomach problems for hours before napping. “My intent was to stop the attack, not necessarily end a life,” he testified. Yet his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, testified that Dunn never mentioned any weapon to her – be it a shotgun, a stick, a barrel or a lead pipe – unlike what Dunn said. In fact, police found a basketball, basketball shoes, clothing, a camera tripod and cups inside the teenagers’ Durango, but no evidence of any firearm. Dunn himself never called police, either. The first contacts he had with them were at his home in Satellite Beach, 130 miles south of St. Augustine, as he was being apprehended in the case. Arguing that he wasn’t in a rational state of mind, Dunn admitted, “It makes sense that I should have (contacted authorities). We didn’t. I can’t tell you why.”
