JoAnna Garcia and Nick Swisher Welcome Baby Girl


Gregg DeGuire/WireImage(CLEVELAND) -- JoAnna Garcia and Nick Swisher are parents!

On Tuesday, the Reba actress and her husband welcomed their first child, a daughter, Garcia’s publicist confirms to ABC News. No other details were available.

The couple announced the pregnancy in November, about two years after they tied the knot in Palm Beach, Fla. A month later, Garcia, 33, and Swisher, 32, moved from New York City, where Swisher played baseball for the Yankees, to Cleveland. The Ohio native now plays right field for the Indians.

“I knew we were coming home in a sense for Nick,” Garcia told MLB.com. “And that felt really warm and lovely. And I’ve never felt so incredibly embraced and taken care of, from the organization to the incredible wives to Nick being embraced by all of his teammates. … It’s really been this theme here about family, and it couldn’t be more fitting at this special moment in our lives.”

As for Swisher, life in the clubhouse has already thrust him into protective dad mode.

“Oh, she ain’t coming in here, bro!” Swisher told the site.

“He’s already gone straight to imagining her dating,” Garcia responded. “He’s already in a panic.”

Funny Video: Jennifer Aniston Stars in a Mini-“Friends” Reunion


Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Living Proof(NEW YORK) -- Look who’s still, well, friends.

In a new promo for Wednesday’s episode of Ellen, Jennifer Aniston, who will co-host the talk show for a day, needs advice and a few “dumb jokes.” So, naturally, she decides to visit the home of her former Friends co-star Matthew Perry, who seems very confused by her visit.

“What? What are you talking about? We used to walk into each others’ apartments all the time,” she says, when he asks her to call before showing up next time. “We’re friends!”

“That was a TV show,” he responds. “We actually haven’t seen each other in a really long time. Like, eight years!”

After calling Perry “David” (a reference to David Schwimmer, who played Ross on the NBC sitcom), the mistaken identities continue when Courteney Cox appears from inside the house, and shrieks, “Lisa [Kudrow]?”

“It’s Jennifer!” Aniston replies.

To find out how Justin Theroux factors into the conversation, and what two other very famous women sneak out of Perry’s house, watch the video below.

Jesse James Cuts Off Part of Pinky


Joe Scarnici/WireImage(LOS ANGELES) -- Jesse James had a gruesome accident on Tuesday, the aftermath of which he shared with the entire world on Instagram.

As seen in a couple of graphic pictures he posted onto his photo-sharing account, the former Monster Garage star cut off the tip of his right pinky. In one caption, he noted that he was set to undergo surgery.

James later wrote, "Doesn't look like this little dude's gonna make it, Nice know'n you little buddy."

Sandra Bullock's ex-husband informed TMZ.com that the accident occurred while he was working on a machine at his custom car business in Texas.

"Hangover III" Star Hits Premiere with Homeless Woman


Frazer Harrison/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Zach Galifianakis turned heads when he showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie Hangover Part III this past Monday. His date was an 83-year-old woman he saved from the streets a couple of years ago.

According to the New York Daily News, when Galifianakis was an unknown comic in New York City, he used the Laundromat where Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist volunteered.  The newspaper says they became such close friends that when Zach later learned she was homeless, he got her an apartment and even paid her rent.

The Daily News says Zach has taken Mimi to premieres before, including Hangover Part II and The Campaign. He even stops by every few weeks to take her to lunch.

Hangover Part III opens nationwide May 23.

"Dancing with the Stars" Finale: Kellie Pickler Wins Mirror Ball Trophy


ABC/Adam Taylor(LOS ANGELES) -- Country singer Kellie Pickler and pro partner Derek Hough were crowned the winners of the 16th season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night.  Disney star Zendaya and partner Val Chmerkovskiy finished in second place.

Pickler, who had been a fan favorite during ten weeks of competition, reacted to the announcement by declaring, “Oh my God. This is amazing. Oh my God.”

Zendaya said after the vote that she was very proud of what she accomplished. “I’m very proud. I'm very happy and I get to leave here with an amazing experience, so I'm very happy.”

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones and partner Karina Smirnoff finished in third place.  Jones made a lighthearted comment about Smirnoff’s tough practice regimen. “Out of all my trainings that I've had, I've never had a woman push me like she did," he said.

Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and partner Mark Ballas were eliminated in the first hour of Tuesday’s season finale results show, ending the competition in fourth place.

Raisman told the audience, “This has been the best experience of my life. Thank you, Dancing with the Stars. It's been so amazing.”

Pickler, Zendaya and Jones and their respective partners had to compete in one final “instant dance” routine Tuesday before the winner was declared.  Those scores were added to the judges' scores for both nights.

Instant Dance Routines:


Jacoby Jones: The NFL star’s salsa earned uniform praise from judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Goodman told Jones he had a “naturalness” about his dance, and was full of fun and vitality. Tonioli said Jones had charisma and showmanship, adding, "I could watch you anytime." Inaba told Jones, “You are a champion. That was the dance of a champion.”  Jones earned a perfect score of 30 points, giving him a two-night judges' total of 86 out of 100 points.

Kellie Pickler: Tonioli told the country singer her jive had accuracy, precision and technique, and compared her to Julianne Hough, a former DWTS pro who is now a recording artist and actress. Inaba told Pickler that she and her partner, Derek Hough, were "like a bright ray of sunshine." Goodman offered one of his trademark quips: "You're always clean, you're precise, you're sharp, your dancing is always polished. I'm telling you, Kellie, you're the bee's knees, my mama's pajamas, my uncle's carbuncles. You're awesome.” Pickler earned 30 points, giving her a two-night judges' total of 94 points.

Zendaya: The Disney star's jive won rave reviews from the judges. Inaba told her she made every dance special, and Goodman added that, for a 16-year-old, she danced with precision and maturity and always turned in a performance, rather than just a routine. Added Tonioli: “For somebody so young you have pitch-perfect performer instinct.” Zendaya earned 30 points, for a two-night judges' total of 95 points.

When all the points were tabulated, Pickler was the star with the highest combined tally of judges' scores and viewers' votes.

Of the four finalists, Zendaya was considered the most technically accomplished, and was the early standout. She was the youngest competitor in the show's history, and her performances consistently put her at or near the top of the leader board. She earned the first perfect score of the season.

Pickler was perhaps the most surprising contestant of the pack. She seemed to get better week after week, and she, too, was consistently at or near the top of the leader board during the competition. Her moving contemporary freestyle routine Monday night brought Inaba to tears and earned her a rare standing ovation from Goodman. The judges requested that routine as Tuesday’s encore performance.

Jones' flair and showmanship gave him staying power even when his routines were less than perfect.  He improved during the course of the season, making up for technical flaws with energetic, crowd-pleasing performances.

Raisman turned in physically demanding routines that capitalized on her gymnastic skills, but the judges also said she'd shown remarkable development of her dance abilities.

Tuesday’s finale also included musical performances by Pitbull, PSY and Wynonna, who was eliminated from the show earlier this season.

There were also dance performances from the rest of the season 16 cast.  General Hospital star Ingo Rademacher was voted off the show last week. He was preceded by “Bachelor” Sean Lowe, comedian Andy Dick, boxer Victor Ortiz, comedian D.L. Hughley, Wynonna and reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump.  An injury forced figure skating legend Dorothy Hamill to withdraw from the competition in the second week.

Dancing with the Stars returns to ABC in the fall as a one-night event.

Ed O'Neill Says "Modern Family" Season Finale Deals with 'Death'


ABC/Peter "Hopper" Stone(NEW YORK) -- Ed O'Neill tells fans to expect to laugh at a usually somber topic during Wednesday night's season finale of ABC's Modern Family.

"It involves a death," he recently revealed to ABC News Radio.

O'Neill said the topic "doesn’t seem like it’s funny, but it’s a very funny show and it’s a very touching show."

The episode, titled "Goodnight, Gracie," follows the Modern Family characters as they travel to Florida to be with Ty Burrell's Phil after his mom passes away.  Sofía Vergara's Gloria finds herself having to contest an outstanding arrest warrant in Florida while Eric Stonestreet's Cameron seems to fit right in with an elderly women's group at a retirement community.

The Modern Family season finale airs tonight at 9:30 Eastern time.

CBS Earns Two Ratings Victories for 2012-2013 Season


Hemera/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- The 2012-2013 TV season will end this week with CBS again claiming the title of the most-watched broadcast network.

CBS has led the way with a primetime average of 11.85 million viewers -- exactly four million more than second-place ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter

CBS received a boost from its Super Bowl telecast, which drew 108.7 million viewers in February, though it would've topped the other networks for the season even without the help of the NFL's championship game.

This is the 10th time in 11 seasons that CBS was the most-watched network.  It also claimed its first victory in 21 years in the advertiser-coveted 18- to 49-year-old demographic.

Fox finished third in total viewers, followed by NBC.  In the 18-to 49-year-old demo, Fox was second, NBC was third, and ABC was fourth.  ABC did share a win with CBS in the demo for May sweeps, which concludes Wednesday night.

For the week ending Sunday, the CBS drama NCIS was the highest-rated program, with an audience of 18.8 million people.

The season finale of the Fox singing competition American Idol, won by Candice Glover, finished in third place for the week, with 14.3 million viewers.

CBS was the most-watched network for the week, followed by ABC, Fox, NBC, Univision, Telemundo, the CW and ION Television.

Here are the top 10 primetime programs for the week of May 13-19, according to the Nielsen Company:

1. NCIS, CBS, 18.79 million.
2. The Big Bang Theory, CBS, 15.48 million.
3. American Idol (Thursday), Fox, 14.31 million.
4. NCIS: Los Angeles, CBS, 13.52 million.
5. Dancing with the Stars, ABC, 13.33 million.
6. American Idol (Wednesday), Fox, 12.11 million.
7. Dancing with the Stars Results Show, ABC, 11.87 million.
8. The Big Bang Theory (Thursday, 8:30 p.m.), CBS, 11.84 million.
9. The Voice (Monday), NBC, 11.29 million.
10. Castle, ABC, 11.16 million.

Lindsay Lohan Sued for $5M over Clothing Line


Jonathan Leibson/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) -- The company that Lindsay Lohan sued earlier this year is firing back against the actress, claiming that she tarnished the brand due to her bad reputation.

In legal documents obtained by E! News, D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries is suing Lohan for $5 million for breach-of-contract. 

The clothing company claims that despite initial success in department stores, the 27-year-old's fashionable leggings failed to appeal to buyers who "did not want to be associated with Lohan's drug-addled image." 

The suit, which was filed last Friday, also claims that starting in 2011 "no one would touch the line."

Previously, the Mean Girls star sued D.N.A.M., claiming in her lawsuit that she and her partner did not receive the full amount in royalties they are owed from their agreement with the company.  They are seeking more than $1.1 million in damages.

Lohan is currently checked into the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., for a mandatory 90-day stint in connection with her car crash case.

Why Brad Pitt Tries to Avoid ‘Sexy Scenes’ Without Angelina Jolie


Christopher Polk/WireImage(LOS ANGELES) -- Brad Pitt is engaged to one of the world’s most beautiful women, actress Angelina Jolie – and since they met in 2004, he’s tried to avoid doing “sexy scenes” with anyone else, says his friend, Frank Pollaro.

“He’s crazy about her and she’s the same way about him,” Pollaro, Pitt’s furniture business partner, told Esquire for its June issue. “Once I walked in and Angie was standing there and Zahara walked up and said, ‘Daddy, you’re not going to start making out with Mommy again, are you?’ And it’s like that.”

But recently, the couple has had to withstand a lot. Jolie, 37, revealed last week that she had a preventative double mastectomy after learning that she was genetically predisposed to breast cancer, and her doctor added that Pitt, with whom Jolie is raising six children, was by her side for every procedure.

For Pitt, that decision was obvious. In Esquire, which hits newsstands May 31, the World War Z star, 49, said that his family is his priority.

“I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house,” he said. “There’s constant chatter in our house, whether it’s giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it.”

“I hate when they’re gone,” he added. “I hate it. Maybe it’s nice to be in a hotel room for a day -- ‘Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.’  But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life.”

That life was a long time coming. Pitt admitted in the magazine that in the years prior to meeting Jolie, he was a “drifter” who “did too much...drug damage.”

“But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity.  It was a conscious change,” he said. “This was about a decade ago.  It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities.  It was a feeling of get up.  Because otherwise, what’s the point?”

"Dancing" Champ Melissa Rycroft: The One Thing Tuesday's "DWTS" Winner Will Need


Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Last winter, reality show veteran Melissa Rycroft and her partner, Tony Dovolani, won Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars, and she’s got some advice for this season's finalists: Invest in comfortable footwear.

“My feet are still rebelling about high heels,” she told ABC News with a laugh. “I was wearing, like, five-inchers and I’m working my way up. I had a herniated disk in my neck this time. At the ripe old age of 30 my body was falling apart. I’m so not jealous [of the competitors tonight]. I don’t want to be back out there.”

In spite of her (literally) scarring experience on Dancing with the Stars, Rycroft, who also was on The Bachelor, has been watching this season. As far as she’s concerned, there’s no clear winner, at this point.

“I said from day one it’s Kellie [Pickler]‘s trophy, and I still think it’s Kellie’s trophy, but I would love to see, like, Aly [Raisman] come in there and sneak it,” she said, adding that she’s “a huge Jacoby [Jones] fan.”

“They’re all phenomenal,” she said. “I’m glad I didn’t have to go up against any of them.”

Now a spokeswoman for Banana Boat’s Unconditional Fun Sweepstakes, Rycroft has begun to think about her own summer plans, which include spending time at her parents’ beach house and going to Europe with her husband, Tye Strickland, and their 2-year-old, Ava.

One thing not on the agenda just yet? Baby No. 2.

“We’ve always talked that we want a big family, but I look at Ava and go, ‘I’m not ready to share her yet,’” Rycroft said. “It’ll happen eventually.”

Justin Bieber's Pet Monkey Now Belongs to Germany


CHRISTOF STACHE/AFP/Getty Images(MUNICH) -- Justin Bieber's abandoned pet monkey is now German property.

For nearly two months customs officials in Germany had been asking Bieber to pick up his capuchin monkey, named Mally.

Bieber had brought Mally with him on tour, but reportedly didn't have the proper paperwork to take the monkey with him on the road in Germany and was forced to leave it behind.

The German animal shelter that has been keeping Bieber's monkey has asked the singer to pay for his pet's two-month stay. Mally has reportedly racked up a bill of several thousand euros for food, housing and veterinary care.

Bieber has six weeks to contest ownership.

Jennifer Lawrence’s "X-Men" Look Revealed


BryanSinger/Twitter(MONTREAL) -- Attention, comic book fans: X-Men: Days of Future Past is already in production and now, director Bryan Singer is giving a sneak peek of what Jennifer Lawrence will look like in the 2014 blockbuster.

Reprising her X-Men: First Class role, the Oscar-winner will star as Mystique -- and from the looks of it, she’ll be fairly unrecognizable. (Lawrence, 24, has said that it took makeup artists about six hours to complete her look for the first film.)

Singer is clearly excited about the flick, and has been tweeting up a storm from the Montreal set. Many of the stars from the 2011 X-Men film will also return, including Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, Ellen Page, and Lawrence’s ex Nicholas Hoult, with whom she was recently spotted having dinner.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled to be released on July 18, 2014. The studio is Marvell Entertainment, which is owned by The Walt Disney Co., which also owns ABC News.
