Daily Show's Rob Corddry Welcomes Second Daughter

Karl Erikson — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:13:00 GMT

Rob Corddry, former correspondent for "The Daily Show," and his wife Sandra welcomed their second daughter early yesterday morning. The little darling - Marlo Stevenson Corddry - has a big sister, Sloane Sullivan, who is now 2.

A rep says, "Mother and daughter are doing well."

The couple announced the sex of the baby in September and Rob, 37, joked that "Sloane is pretty set on the name 'Freeka.' She also likes 'Laurie Berkner,' but that sounds weird in front of Corddry. We may just go with 'Baby the Entertainer' in case she grows up to be a black comedian."

Rob can be seen most recently in Oliver Stone's George Bush movie, "W." He plays White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer.

Congratulations Rob and Sandra! Welcome to the world, Marlo. You've got one funny, funny daddy.

Diane Lane Happy With Blended Family

Karl Erikson — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:05:00 GMT

Single mom Diane Lane, 43, divorced her first husband Christopher Lambert when daughter Eleanor was a toddler. "It's better to be friends and be functional than a married couple and dysfunctional," Diane says.

Christoper "Highlander" Lambert is still involved in Eleanor's life...she's now 15, believe it or not. Diane equates her early single motherhood with "having a croquet mallet in one hand, a tennis racket in the other, a baseball bat in the other, and some fins on my feet." Wait, how many hands does Diane have?

Now she married to actor Josh Brolin, who is playing President Bush in the upcoming Oliver Stone movie "W." And it's a mixed family - Josh has children with his ex-wife Alice Adair. There's Trevor, 20, and Eden, 15, so it's a pretty busy life for Diane, but she's very happy.

Eleanor loves the blended family, too. Diane says that her daughter loves visiting her stepgrandparents, James Brolin and Barbra Streisand. Nanny Barbra makes gourmet meals for the holidays, and even comes to the kids' plays.

Diane's latest movie, "Nights in Rodanthe," is already in theaters. I couldn't care less about the nights. I'm much more interested in what happens in Rodanthe during the day.

Thandie Newton, 35, is currently filming the movie "2012" in Canada. Mother of girls Ripley, 8, and Nico, 3, Thandie says that acting makes her feel "more alive, more self-aware...not a bad thing for a mum," she tells the Times Online.

Little known fact: Newton turned down one of the lead roles in the "Charlie's Angels" movie because she didn't want to be "that famous." She loves acting and think is makes her a better mother. She talks about pregnancy, saying, "Every fiber of your being is alive. It's like you are conducting electricity. I'd like to give birth every year if I could, just for that experience."

Thandie is married to English director Ol Parker. And while she hates that she has to work away from home, she thinks it's great that her daughters have a wonderful relationship with their father as a result. She's enjoying a great family summer in Vancouver, taking Ripley to horse camp and shucking oysters with her and Ol. "It's pretty idyllic," she says.

The star of movies such as "Crash" and also TV show "ER," Newton is next going to be seen in Oliver Stone's biopic of George Bush, titled "W.," which comes out next month. She'll be playing Condoleezza Rice to Josh Brolin's George Bush.
