It was just a few days ago that it was announced that Owen Wilson's girlfriend was expecting…

And now, he's a dad!

The actor and his girlfriend Jade Duell welcomed their first child on Friday. And Jade reportedly went through 18 hours of labor!

What a trooper!

With the help of two midwives, their baby boy was delivered naturally via a water birth at their oceanfront home in Maui.

A source says, "Owen and Jade are thrilled! Owen has been doing a celebratory hula dance all afternoon! It's a beautiful boy and everyone is incredibly happy!"

Owen reportedly told a friend, "I was completely in awe, crying as I watched our baby being born."

Owen and Jade named their new baby boy Ford Linton Wilson.

Sounds very distinguished!

Congrats to the happy couple! We can't wait to see the little guy!

Little Fockers Pay Well!

It doesn't matter that Little Fockers got dismal reviews, if you were in that film, chances are you got paid BIG money.

The movie raked in about $105 million, but $70 million was shelled out to pay the actors' salaries.

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro earned $20 million each, $15 million for Owen Wilson and $7 million for Barbra Streisand. Dustin Hoffman negotiated a $7.5 million deal after reshoots were needed at the last minute and Jessica Alba's salaries is estimated at $3 million.

"The studio needed a hit, so the stars were able to hold them to ransom and command huge money. On top of this, De Niro takes extra cash because his company, Tribeca Productions, produced the movie," claims a source.

Another insider added:

"Universal decided on a reshoot at the last minute, and Hoffman's character was needed for some new scenes. They couldn't originally agree on terms with Hoffman, so for the reshoot he could basically name his price — which was $7.5 million for five days' work."

Wowsa!

A source close to the film said, "It's taken in close to $105 million in the US and $72 million overseas. The projections are that it will be a $300 million movie, which is a huge success."

Do U think the actors worth it?!

This would be absolutely EPIC in all of the right ways!

Owen Wilson recently revealed that he and Ben Stiller are considering none other than Lady GaGa for a part in their upcoming sequel to Zoolander!

He explains:

"GaGa has to be in it. The movie will happen soon. I just saw Ben and I think that people will be happy with some of this new stuff we have."

She would be PERFECT! We'd love to see her show off some of her comedic skills!

We imagine that she'd be great as a new Mugatu-esque villain! Ha. Maybe his daughter!

We'd be obsessed!

What do U think? Who should GaGa play in Zoolander 2?

Owen Wilson Talks Hansel and Potential Lady GaGa Role In Zoolander 2!

owen wilson talks zoolander 2

That Hansel's STILL so hot right now! At least, according to Owen Wilson, he is!

Here's what Wilson had to say about his character Hansel in Zoolander 2:

"The thing about Hansel is he can't ever imagine himself, so even if he isn't the #1 guy, I think he still carries himself as if. He'll still have that Hansel swagger."

Aside from the return of Hansel, Wilson is also excited about the possibility of Lady GaGa appearing in the new Zoolander.

Here's what he had to say about it:

"Maybe she makes a good foil for Hansel."

Yes! GaGa would be PERFECT for that role!

Are U excited for more Hansel? How about the possibility of some Lady GaGa in Zoolander 2?

Reese's New Movie Trying To Dodge R-Rating

how do you know edited for pg 13

James L. Brooks' upcoming How Do You Know starring Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson has lost its appeal to overturn an R-rating because of three little words.

And one of them is "fuck!" The other two are just repetition! According to the Classification and Rating Appeals Board, the f-word can only be used once to secure a PG-13 rating.

The film will be released on December 17th after it undergoes editing to clean up some dirty mouths.

Lame.

Ben Stiller Talks Zoolander 2! It's Getting Closer!

ben stiller says zoolander is on its way

For those of us who feel like we've been taking crazy pills after hearing so many different reports about the status of Zoolander 2, relief may be on the way!

Ben Stiller spoke up about the status of Zoolander 2, and it looks like D-Rock might be gracing us with Blue Steel, or another new pose, sooner than later!

Here's what Stiller had to say about the film's progress:

"We're working on it, we're working on it. Hopefully next year we're going to be making it. But we've been full steam ahead on it."

And for those of you who aren't up on your Zoolander-related news, here's how director/screenwriter Justin Theroux has described the plot:

"[We] start off with them (Stiller's Derek Zoolander and Hansel, played by Owen Wilson) in a pretty bad place. They're about to ring 40's bell. They have to claw their way back into the fashion industry in some way or another."

All sounds really, really ridiculously good, doesn't it Zoolander fans?
