NICOLE 'SNOOKI' POLIZZI: "Jersey Shore" reality TV star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi gave birth to a 6-pound 5-ounce baby boy and is "so in love" with him, she said on Twitter.

"I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic! I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs! HE'S MY WORLD!" she wrote on Twitter, then added a heart icon.

Polizzi, 24, and fiance Jionni LaValle had their baby shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J.

A Polizzi representative told MTV, "Nicole, Jionni and Enzo are doing great!"

LaValle wrote on Twitter Monday he didn't know "what I enjoy more, watching my fiance sleep or watching my son sleep," adding "Both are amazing! #Lafamiglia"

ROSIE O'DONNELL: Rosie O'Donnell secretly married Michelle Rounds two months before the date they first set, the U.S. comedian, actress and TV personality said.

"We married in private before her surgery, just the 2 of us," O'Donnell wrote in her usual free-form style on her blog Web site.

O'Donnell, 50, who announced her engagement to Rounds on her TV show Dec. 2, had agreed with Rounds to have a wedding in August.

But they moved up the date to June 9, five days before Rounds' first of several surgeries to remove gastrointestinal desmoid tumors, O'Donnell representative Cindi Berger told People magazine.

O'Donnell pointed out in her bog that changing the marriage date was fortuitous, "as i was in ICU" on the couple's originally planned wedding date.

O'Donnell suffered a heart attack Aug. 14 and ended up having a mesh tube called a stent inserted into one of her heart's arteries after doctors discovered it was 99 percent blocked.

"When it rains ... things grow, like love and flowers -- humans too," O'Donnell wrote.

DR. PHIL: Dr. Phil's classic 1957 two-door Chevrolet convertible was stolen from an auto shop in Burbank, Calif., gossip Web site TMZ reported.

The 61-year-old host of TV's psychological-help show "Dr. Phil" and a friend had tried unsuccessfully to repair the transmission of his meticulously restored and maintained V8-engine black car with white and silver trim, so he had it flat-bedded to a Burbank repair shop from his Beverly Hills home, the site said.

But a few hours later, Dr. Phil, whose full name is Phillip Calvin McGraw, received a phone call from the shop saying the car, which TMZ said was worth an estimated $100,000, had been stolen.

McGraw reported the theft to police.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ the thieves "smashed a roll-up door at the shop to get at the car," which has a red leather interior.

The Christian Post, which reported on the theft, said McGraw may now "be having some mental issues of his own."

TONY SCOTT: The family of late British filmmaker Tony Scott has created a scholarship fund to support future filmmakers' careers, the family said in a statement.

The Tony Scott Scholarship Fund through the American Film Institute seeks "to help encourage and engage future generations of filmmakers," the family said in the statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

The family held a private funeral for Scott in Los Angeles Friday, five days after he died.

The reason Scott, 68, took his own life is unknown.

He jumped 185 feet to his death in Los Angeles Harbor from a suspension bridge around 12:30 p.m. Aug. 19.

He left a wife, actress Donna Wilson Scott, and their 12-year-old twin sons, Max and Frank.
