It’s A Boy For Susan & Robert Downey Jr.!

Susan and Robert Downey Jr. welcomed a baby into their lives on Tuesday.

Susan, 38, gave birth in Los Angeles to the couple’s first child, a son. The couple have named their 7 lb., 5 oz. baby boy Exton Elias Downey and he joins the Iron Man star’s 18 year-old son Indio, from his first marriage to Deborah Falconer.

“Everyone is healthy and they couldn’t be happier,” a friend of the couple tells People magazine.

Although Robert told Jay Leno in December the couple was expecting a boy, he had expressed his desire for a baby girl earlier this year:

“I think we should probably try to have a girl because I don’t want another male entity to have to compete,” he said during the Due Date promo tour in August. “I don’t want Indio to feel there’s another boy in my life.”

Although he did get another son, I imagine the actor is thrilled to have a healthy child and a beautiful newborn in his life.

Madonna Says Lady Gaga’s Single “Born This Way” Is “Reductive”

Much has been made of the similarities between Lady Gaga‘s “Born This Way” and Madonna‘s “Express Yourself” and now Madge herself has weighed in on the controversy.

The 53 year-old musician and director told 20/20 she thought it was “flattering” overall but found Gaga’s song to be “reductive.”

“She’s a very talented artist,” Madonna said. “I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and well done.”

“[Her songs seem to be a] statement about taking something that was in the Zeitgeist, you know, 20 years ago and turning it inside out and reinterpreting it.”

Speaking specifically about BTW:

“When I heard ['Born This Way'] on the radio… I said, ‘That sounds very familiar.” When interviewer Cynthia McFadden asked if she found it annoying, Madonna replied “It felt reductive.”

While Madonna may not love everything the “You and I” singer does, Lady Gaga has expressed nothing but love for the “Material Girl.”

She told Jay Leno in February that she was a huge fan “personally and professionally” of Madonna.

Madonna has announced the name of her 12th studio album – MDNA – will be released in early spring. She is also the performer for the Super Bowl’s Halftime show on February 5th.

Photos of Madonna from the premiere of her latest film W.E. are under, along with the vids of her 20/20 interview.

Kristen Stewart Lands Balenciaga New Fragrance Campaign

Kristen Stewart‘s love of edgy couture has paid off for the young star.

Twilight‘s Bella Swan has landed the campaign for the Spanish design house soon-to-be-announced new fragrance and will front the forth coming ads for the scent.

“Balenciaga has always stood out to me,” Stewart said. “Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga.”

“It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now,” she continued. “The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.”

Creative Director Nicholas Ghesquière is fascinated with Stewart and says her personal style “embodies” the new perfume.

“Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence,” he said. “From her early appearance in Panic Room to her independent choice of Welcome to the Rileys, I’ve always sensed her progressive character.”

“In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.”

Stewart has three films for release next year. The adaptation of Jack Kerouac‘s On The Road with Garrett Hedlund, Snow White and The Huntsman with Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron and of course, the final installment of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2.

Jennifer Aniston Named ‘Most Desirable Body’ – Again!

Jennifer Aniston‘s still got the goods – at least according to one survey.

The 42 year-old Just Go With It star was named as Hollywood’s Most Desired Body in the Hollywood’s Hottest Looks poll.

The info is compiled by Beverly Hills plastic surgeons Dr. Richard Fleming and Dr. Toby Mayer who report Aniston over-taking the top spot from last year’s winner Gisele Bundchen. Aniston was also the top vote-getter in 2009.

She topped stars like Bar Refaeli, Shakira, Katy Perry, Penelope Cruz and Amanda Seyfried.

For the gents, Chris Hemsworth is the Hollywood guy other men want surgeons to sculpt their bodies like. The Australian hunk was followed by Taylor Lautner and Chris Evans.

Here’s one list that reality stars haven’t invaded.

Drew Barrymore Tells InStyle She’s ‘Super Happy’ In Her Relationship

Drew Barrymore covers InStyle magazine for the February issue in a form-fitting white MaxMara dress and Dolce & Gabbana bracelet.

The Big Miracle actress talks about her life as she edges closer to 40, her engagement to Will Kopelman and how she feels about plastic surgery:

On aging and how she’s changing: “I’m pushing 40. I feel like those things that I always aspired to are finally being realized. I used to be afraid to let go of the intensity. I thought the work would suffer. But the lesson is, No, it’s still good, and I’m a lot happier—and less of a nervous kid.”

On her fiancé Will and their relationship: “He’s lovely. He’s very, very nice. It’s really positive. I’m super-happy… We go on group trips and spend holidays together — there’s a lot of love! And that is really nice and very different from the way I grew up, which was more unstable and inconsistent, with a lot of highs and lows. It’s funny, when I was younger, I used to say I’d hate a flat line—that I want the ups and downs, the roller coaster. But I’m actually really enjoying the flat line.”

On whether she’ll consider plastic surgery: “I say, don’t fight the rings on the trunk of a tree. Just keep counting ‘em. The idea of not looking like myself scares me. I just think a person’s character is what’s interesting… I look 10 times better after an exercise class than I do at any other time of the day.”

Drew’s issue of InStyle is on newsstands now. Her film, Big Miracle, opens on February 3rd.

Molly Sims Is Pregnant With Her First Child

Molly Sims will join the mommy club this year.

The 38 year-old model and her husband, producer Scott Stuber, are expecting their first child.

Sims already feels the that “pregnancy glow”:

“There are simply no words to describe the feeling,” Sims posted to her official website. “I finally get what they mean when they say pregnant women glow.”

The Project Accessory host said she chose a unique way to let her husband know she was pregnant – a fortune cookie message!

“I hijacked a fortune cookie and typed a new message so that when he opened his cookie at the end of the meal, he found out he was going to be a daddy,” she wrote. “You can only imagine how nervous I was during the entire meal — I think I ate a total of two bites — but the look of surprise and pure joy on his face was priceless.”

Sims has said in the past she planned on both biological children and adopted.

“I will adopt and I definitely do want to have my own children,” she told Aspen Peak magazine. “Absolutely, my biological clock is running. I find if we start with our little ones, it may not be where the most improvement is, but it’s where the most hope is.”

Sims and Stuber were married in September. She is due in June.
