Babble

Just because you aren't walking down the red carpet with your kid doesn't mean you can't all be stars. Thanks to this new thing called "teh internetz" anyone can gain instant fame and glory (see Chris Crocker). Okay, Suzzane Vega is an actual celebrity, but you get the idea. Babble...

Ghazala Khamis (which I think is a really cool name) just gave birth to FOUR BOYS AND THREE GIRLS via c-section.

Didn't mean to get your hopes up. The Associated Press (via Yahoo! News ) quotes Darryn Lyons of the photo agency Big...

Personally, I think you should be able to love your country without buying into the ideology of a particular person or political party. More "celebrate...

CBS News sent correspondent Steve Hartman into the field to ask people if they thought his baby was cute. But Steve did something tricky: he used a distorted image of his offspring (not the image at the right; that's Baby-faced Finster from Bugs Bunny). The idea was to see if anyone would say, "Dude...
