Actors Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel are the proud new parents of a baby boy.  In a rare stroke of Hollywood kindness, they have given their son a completely and totally normal name — Walker.

This is the first child for this genetically blessed couple that met in the 1996 Broadway production of Rent.  Congrats to the happy couple!

Kate Walsh is one busy lady.

The newly engaged Walsh was spotted filming Private Practice, her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, with hottie co-star Taye Diggs in Malibu yesterday.

The two-hour “premiere” of Private Practice — during a special two-hour episode of Grey’s — did well for ABC, so it looks like they’re moving full speed ahead with the series.

I wonder if Ellen Pompeo is pissed. Ellen gets her own series, then gets engaged. Now Kate gets engaged and gets her own series.

If anything, Katherine Heigl must be fuming.
