Mazel Tov: Jewish Stars Talk Royal Baby
Royal baby frenzy is in full swing as the British — and for some reason, everyone else on the planet — await the birth of the future heir to the throne.
If you manage to pry your eyes away from the live baby cam that The Telegraph has pointed at the doors of Saint Mary’s Hospital where Kate Middleton is reportedly in labor (in the hopes that sheer eagerness will force them to burst open, perhaps?), here is what Hollywood had to say about the impending birth.
UPDATE: IT’S A BOY!
So pleased to hear that William and Kate had a baby boy. Long live the future king. MBB

I mean now you almost have to name the baby “#RoyalBaby“. Hashtag and everything.

Congratulations to Kate & William on the birth of their baby boy! So relieved that his name won’t include the words Ivy or Apple.

8lbs 6oz. Interesting that babies are always in imperial units not metric…

Meanwhile, during #BabyWatch…
If the #RoyalBaby is a girl, I’m putting the name ‘Michelle’ into the mix. #MichelleObamaWouldApproveToo.

Labour has never been so popular. My guess is that it will be a baby.

I too had a royal baby this morning, after my morning coffee.
