Minnie Driver Gives Birth To Mega Baby
- Minnie Driver squeezed out a 9 lb. 12 oz. baby boy on Friday in L.A. Her new son's name is Henry Story Driver. In an interview a few months ago, Minnie said she wanted to give birth naturally.

Charitable (Book)Ends
Attention Harry Potter fans: J.K. Rowling is planning to publish a book of wizard fairy tales based on tales referred to in the Potter books and (here is the nice part) she is donating the royalties and profits to charity. The British charity hopes to raise around $8 million through sales of the book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which was originally "published" as seven handwritten copies (reliving some possible zine days, we're guessing?) given mostly to friends and one was auctioned off for $4 million. The charity version will include illustrations by Rowling and "commentary" from Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts. The book will be published on December 4th, through Bloomsbury in Britain and Scholastic in the U.S.. Rowling considers this her last book concerning Harry Potter's world. [Yahoo! News]

Female Fantasy Writers Accused Of Being "Simple" • Women Care More About Weight Loss Than Cancer
Guardian writer rails against critics who call JK Rowling and other women fantasy writers "simple". • Palestinian and Israeli women mingle in a special diet group to lose pounds and gain mutual understanding. • The ASPCA and other animal rights groups have filed a lawsuit against Ringling Bros. for chaining elephants for up to 100 hours. • Woman pops out baby in car, without the help of doctors or spouse. • A roving group of women are stealing flowers from graves to make crafts. • Girls in bikinis serving coffee? Awfully original. • The EEOC is launching a study into why Hispanics are so underrepresented in government jobs. • Fasting for up to 16 hours may help fend off jet lag. • Irregular periods in teens may be a sign of bulimia. • Has anyone else noticed that roller derby is really popular with rockabilly and punk girls? • Women are more concerned with losing weight than avoiding cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. • Perhaps that's because their weight could cost them their jobs! -
