Babies, babies, babies! Read all about it. No, we're not talking about young Aaron Johnson, we're talking about genuine newborns - Amanda Holden's had one, Rebekah Brook's had one, and Sam Taylor Wood has had one. Congrats, all.

If you thought the sound of third degree tearing (look it up) or crapping in your midwives face was bad enough, spare a thought for poor Amanda Holden who had an absolutely harrowing birth. According to reports, the Britain's Got Talent judge gave birth to a daughter but encountered serious complications, with her rep saying:

"Hollie Rose Hughes was born on 23 January 2012. She is healthy... but Amanda has been in a critical condition for the past three days. She is now stable and we expect her to make a full recovery very soon."

Poor Amanda, we hope she's much better very soon.

Meanwhile, Rebekah Brooks and husband Charlie Brooks, no relation to Janine from Eastenders, have become parents after a surrogate gave birth to Scarlett Anne Mary Brooks yesterday.

And finally, Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson are parents again after the artist/director gave birth to their second daughter. The pair, who met on the set of Nowhere Boy and caused controversy because she was in her 40s and he below the voting age - despite the fact Sam's ex husband had a fling with the equally younger Lily Allen and no one batted an eyelid, are expected to marry later in the year. 

Good old babies, with their little faces and hands and legs and toes.
