It’s another girl for Australian presenter Jessica Rowe and television journalist Peter Overton! The couple welcomed daughter Giselle Charlotte Overton on Thursday, April 9th. She weighed in at 6 lbs., 8 oz. “Mum and baby are doing really well and Peter is thrilled,” according to Channel Nine spokeswoman Heidi Virtue. Little Giselle “came slightly early” which caused Peter to end an interview that he was conducting for 60 Minutes after Jessica called saying “right, we’re on.”

Giselle is the second daughter for Jessica and Peter, who are also parents to Allegra Penelope, 2. The couple announced the pregnancy in October.

Motherhood is the ‘Most Profound Experience’ for Toni Collette

Many believe that motherhood is a life-changing event and actress Toni Collette would have to agree with that statement! Welcoming daughter Sage Florence last year was “the most profound experience of my life … I don’t even know whether I can articulate that to you,” she reveals in a new interview with The Advocate. It has been such an overwhelming experience for Toni that “I don’t think anything I could say could actually really explain how it feels. Until you become a parent, there’s no real understanding.”

The United States of Tara star has been a hit in the gay community since her turn in Muriel’s Wedding, and was asked by the magazine what her reaction would be if Sage, 13 months, came out when she was older. “I wouldn’t care, as long as she’s happy,” Toni replied.

“Look, life is short, so why limit it? I accept people and their decisions no matter what they are. In fact, I think that’s the biggest problem in the world: People want others to align themselves with their beliefs. If people were more accepting of differences, it would be a much more peaceful planet.”

Toni’s series The United States of Tara has been renewed for a second season on Showtime. Sage’s father is Dave Galafassi.

After revealing that she’s hoping to expand her family with country singer Keith Urban even further, the rumors that Nicole Kidman is already expecting another baby were swirling after her appearance at the premiere of her new movie, Australia. The 41-year-old actress immediately denied the claims, saying she simply has "a little tummy" and blames the speculation on family genetics! "I think I’ve always had a little tummy, though, it runs in the family. My sister does, my mum does, my grandmother did…We affectionately refer to it as the ‘little tummy,’" explains Nicole. However, despite her willingness to offer an explanation, the new mom is quick to remind everyone that none should be needed — she just gave birth!

"My god, I just had a baby four months ago — give me a break!"

As more children are not in the immediate future, Nicole is focusing all of her energy on her 4-month-old daughter Sunday Rose. "Completely besotted with [Sunday]," Nicole — who can’t stand to be away from her baby girl — shares that her daughter has "just discovered her voice," making the proud mama privy to many private performances.

"She was singing up a storm this morning. She’s high and low. Other people may call it screaming — but not to me!"

In addition to Sunday, Nicole also has daughter Isabella Jane, 15, and son Connor Antony, 13, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Australia opens November 26th.
