Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton is reported to be "doing very well" after giving birth to a baby boy, Joshua, over the weekend.

Hamilton's partner, former Westlife bouncer Fran Cosgrove, was present at the birth.

The 20-year-old is planning to remain in the band, unlike former member Kerry Katona, who quit after she had her daughter Molly in 2001.

Katona, who is married to Westlife's Bryan McFadden, currently presents the game show Elimidate on ITV1, and is expecting her second child later this year.

Canadian comedian fools Britney

A Candian comic posing as singer Celine Dion persuaded Britney Spears to sing a bogus duet with Tiger Woods entitled Let's Make A Hole In One, for a charity event.

Marc Audette, impersonating the Canadian singer, invited Spears to Montreal during the phone prank, and rattled off a list of stars who would be taking part in the event - including golfer Woods.

The comic, who said Spears was "a good sport," added, "She didn't even realise it was a gag. I don't know why. I think she was so impressed to speak to Celine Dion."

Audette and fellow comic Sebastian Trudel - known as the Masked Avengers - are well-known in Canada for fooling famous people on their radio show.

Gibson influenced by 'supernatural'

Actor Mel Gibson has revealed how a near-death experience led him to believe in supernatural forces.

The 46-year-old narrowly escaped death 25 years ago when he drove into the path of an uncoming lorry while driving up a hazardous mountain road.

"It was a miracle that I wasn't killed...it made me realise there are bigger things than ourselves out there."

Gibson's new film Signs, currently number one at the US box office, sees him starring as a clergyman whose family is plagued by crop circles and other unexplained events.
