Hugh Grant Welcomes Baby Girl With Mystery Lady

Surprise! You’re an extremely charming and apologetic dad! We have been so distracted by Jessica Simpson‘s gigantic baby bump and Beyonce‘s impeding Babyonce, we didn’t even realize Hugh Grant was having a baby! Though, from the sounds of it…we wonder if the About a Boy actor was almost as surprised as we are.

“I can confirm that Hugh Grant is the delighted father of a baby girl,” Grant’s rep told Us Weekly today. “He and the mother had a fleeting affair and while this was not planned, Hugh could not be happier or more supportive. He and the mother have discussed everything and are on very friendly terms.” While there’s no word yet on the name of Grant’s new bundle, who was born earlier this month, or the mother of said bundle, the actor was allegedly linked to Chinese actress Tinglan Hong earlier this year. So, on to the real question: can a baby be considered dashing? If so, can Hugh Grant’s baby be anything but?

Report: Hugh Grant Almost Joined Two And A Half Men—And May Still?

We’ve heard plenty of rumors about folks like Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven and John Stamos being offered Charlie Sheen‘s place in Two And A Half Men, but Deadline just revealed that Warner Bros. has been chasing far bigger game than that. According to the site, Hugh Grant pulled out of negotiations last night after nearly accepting $1 million per episode to join the show’s cast (though there is some hope he may reconsider). It’s a pretty smooth move—Hugh’s presence on a sitcom would be a lot more novel and intriguing than the established TV actors previously listed, he didn’t party with Sheen back in the day like Stamos and Lowe did, and the payday would definitely be bigger for the actor than what he’s getting for stuff like Did You Hear About The Morgans?

The buzz around Grant underscores a previously ignored issue: that the show is popular internationally, and foreign distributors might give up on the show if the producers don’t score a big star with global appeal. With all of Hugh’s recent movies making more money abroad than in the US, he’d be a dream fit—so expect Warner Bros. to try and smooth over Hugh’s current “creative differences.” With network upfronts only a week away, it’s not like they have time to chase down other celebrities of his stature.

Elizabeth Hurley And Hubby Separate Amidst Cheating Rumors

62260923

Is Elizabeth Hurley a better actress than we give her credit for? We only ask because the above photo was taken six weeks ago, and she and her husband Arun Nayar look pretty happy to be together, but according to Hurley, they have been separated for months amidst rumors that Hurley cheated.

The pair has been married for three years. While they have been seen together in public recently, Hurley announced their breakup on Twitter on Sunday, saying “Not a great day. For the record, my husband Arun and I separated a few months ago. Our close family & friends were aware of this.” She has recently been spotted with Australian cricket player Shane Warne and it’s been reported that they spent the night together at a London hotel last week, so the news is most definitely an attempt at damage control. This makes us sad, not because of the divorce but because we figured that if Hurley’s marriage ever ended, she’s obviously get back together with Hugh Grant who she’s still best pals and vacation buddies with. Hurley has an eight-year-old son named Damian from a previous relationship.

Hugh Grant And Liz Hurley: BFFs

It takes a really special type of girlfriend to see past her boyfriend’s cheating (with a hooker!) and then remain friends, nay, BEST friends, forever. But that’s exactly what Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant are, according to a new interview with Zest magazine.

Hurley says that she has several besties including her husband Arun Nayar, but qualifies them all. “My overall best friend is Hugh. My ‘current affairs’ best friend is Arun, because we speak to each other all day, every day. My sister Katie is my loyal best friend. But there is a part of my life neither Arun nor Katie understand; a career part and a different emotional level where Hugh is still my number one. We’ve been best friends for 24 years and that’s not nothing.”

She also says that Grant “virtually has a bedroom at our house” and that they are neighbors as well. She also says “He’s an excellent godfather to [Hurley's 8-year-old] Damian. He’s a part of our family - we all go on holiday together and Arun and Hugh get on incredibly well. We’re all grown up, and if I wanted to be with Hugh, we would be together.” So watch out, Arun, if Liz’s eye starts to wander, you know where she’s heading. These two are still some of our favorite 90′s stars (and look at how hot they were back in the day - they’re hot now too, but back then they were one good looking pair) and we’re happy that they’re best pals. Maybe this is how Jude Law and Sienna Miller will end up, since we have no faith in their romance.

Gwyneth Paltrow Glitters At World Sports Awards

Gwyneth Paltrow

Oh, come on! Another awards show for movie stars after the Oscars? You gotta be kidding! Well, not quite. Despite the attendance of stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Clive Owen, Hugh Grant and Michelle Rodriguez—who had her trademark leather jacket on over her gown, you go Michelle—Abu Dhabi’s Laureus Awards celebrated the accomplishments of our world’s greatest athletes, including Tony Hawk, Monica Seles and Julius Irving. Who knew Kevin Spacey and Kyle MacLachlan had such love for the game? Or, for that matter, the United Arab Emirates?

Hugh Grant Has Low Self Esteem

hugh-grant

Hugh Grant always manages to be just as charming off-screen as he is in all his romantic comedies, and because of that we have a bit of a thing for him. We always thought it was just his wit and puppy-dog eyes that we were drawn to, but after reading PopEater’s interview with him it turns out to be more than that. We love his self-conscious, slightly downtrodden attitude too. Maybe that’s just because it reminds us of most guys we’ve dated.

First, when he was asked whether he realizes how handsome he is, Grant responded, “Not even remotely. I see a sad, angry, hungover middle-aged man dreading the day. There is a mirror in the hotel where I’m staying to the side of the basin and this morning I was shaving and I looked over at the mirror but my face stayed pointing down. I thought ‘That’s a new one. That’s bad.’”

Aw, Hugh. we all start sagging at some point. He also said that his worst fear is getting “too squidgy,” and that his acting abilities are limited, explaining, “I can only do a certain tone really and not many people write in that tone and when they do it tends to be romantic comedies.” He also thinks his fellow Englishmen haven’t taken to him and he’ll never be knighted by the queen and says ” No, I’m pretty hated in my own country, sadly. I love it, it hates me.”

Who knew that he was so critical of himself? Rest assured, this country loves you, Hugh. We might not be able to knight you, but you could probably become governor of California. [Photo: GettyImages]

Drew To Hugh: I Wanna Eff You

Isn’t in sweet when two of the biggest skanks in Hollywood – prostitute-employer Hugh Grant and serial dater/wedder/divorcee Drew Barrymore – come together to suck face? It just feels so right! The former costars (from Music and Lyrics – don’t worry, we didn’t see it either) reconnected with their mouths at the Waverly Inn on Monday night. After Grant left, Drew hitched herself to Clive Owen. Apparently somebody’s got a bad case of the Brits.

Hugh, meanwhile, moved on with two ladies at a Meatpacking District Lounge on Tuesday night. “Hugh went straight to the bar and made out with a pair of girls for the entire evening,” said a spy. But the actor, who is supposedly still dating Jemima Khan, didn’t waste any time getting to know his new pals, randomly quit the kiss-fest and abruptly got up and left the club. [Photo: FilmMagic]

Guy And Jemima Sitting In A Tree?

Madonna is not the only one who can move on with a new hottie and leave her divorce in the dust. Guy Ritchie is reportedly getting hot and heavy with millionaire heiress Jemima Khan, UK newspaper The Telegraph reveals.

“They have become very fond of each other,” a mutual pal claims.

Last week, Guy and Jemima reportedly attended a party at the home of Matthew Freud, who is married to Rupert Murdoch’s daughter Elisabeth. Other A-listers in attendance included Mick Jagger, Kevin Spacey, Stella and Mary McCartney, and Trudie Styler, who ironically played matchmaker to Guy and Madonna, introducing the former couple in 1999.

Jemima was married to a Pakistani cricket player and was later connected to Hugh Grant. Although some speculate Guy is eyeing Jemima for her millions, he reportedly is going to be just fine with or without her. [Source: The Telegraph; Photo: Getty Images]

Hugh Grant Plays Cupid

Although his love life has always been tumultuous: from his 10-year off-and-on street walker infested relationship with Elizabeth Hurley to his recently fizzled out romance with heiress Jemima Khan, Hugh Grant reportedly feels qualified to play matchmaker among his friends. “He’s really into it,” laughs a Columbia student whose father has reportedly been targeted by Mr. Cupid himself.

“He’s like ‘I have great single friends. You don’t know enough women, let me set you up!’” the student reveals.

Apparently Hugh is very matter-of-fact about it, like it is a side business for him.

But what about Hugh’s own love life? His ex Elizabeth Hurley has moved on, wedding Arun Nayar last year, and Jemima has reportedly been introduced to a very eligible bachelor herself. Could his new matchmaking hobby be distracting him from his own romance troubles? [Source: Page Six Magazine; Photo: Getty Images]
