Fresh off her marriage to Cash Warren, Jessica Alba has given birth to a baby girl. The baby is named Honor Marie Warren and she was born June 7th. This is the first child for the couple who met while working on the set of Fantastic Four. Alba starred in the movie while Warren was a director's assistant. The couple became engaged in December and married on May 19th in a low-key courthouse ceremony in Beverly Hills.

As far as I can tell, Alba has the right idea about being a mom. When asked by Fit Pregnancy magazine what type of mom she planned to be, Alba said, "I don't want to be my child's best friend. I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it's going to be about treading that line." Dina Lohan, are you listening?

There is good news for Camp Swayze after word that the star is responding well to his cancer treatment. After being seen out and about at a Los Angeles Lakers game earlier this month, Patrick Swayze has now received word that his next project is on its way. A&E network has green lighted his summer project, "The Beast."

In the show, Swayze will play FBI agent Charles Barker. Barker and his rookie partner (played by Travis Fimmel) solve crimes while being investigated by the Department of Internal Affairs. Swayze said of his character, "I have searched for quite a long time to find a character that is this multi-layered, unpredictable and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting edged." The show will begin filming this summer in Chicago and premiere in early 2009. Swayze has said, "Chicago is an amazing, untapped city. I can't wait to get to work on."

Hmm... maybe now we know why Jessica insisted that she get married BEFORE giving birth. I suppose it was the HONORable thing to do.
