Matthew McConaughey to be a dad

Hello I'm Rebecca Field with a UPI entertainment update on this Wednesday, the 16 day of January 2008.

Matthew McConaughey is trying out a new role, as a dad. On his website, the actor says his girlfriend, Brazilian model Camilla Alves is pregnant. She's apparently three months along. The actor says they are both very excited to be parents. McConaughey and Alves met more than a year ago...they've been seen together constantly since then.

Hollywood has lost a young star. Actor Brad Renfro died yesterday at the age of 25. He was found dead in his Los Angeles apartment after spending a night with friends. The cause of death is not yet known but Renfro has a history of drug abuse. The actor is best known for his childhood role in "The Client"...he starred along with Susan Sarandon. Renfro recently finished filming a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and Winona Ryder.

"High School Musical" star Zac Efron is recovering from an appendectomy. His rep tells People magazine he was rushed to the hospital yesterday to get his appendix removed. Efron recently signed on for the third installment of the "High School Musical" series, along with the rest of the original cast.

Kevin Federline is speaking out about his problems with his ex Britney Spears. He tells Interview magazine his struggles with the pop star are really no different than anyone else's. But Federline says the media attention makes their situation unique. He tells the publication he thinks it makes people feel normal to watch the woes of public figures. Federline has been in a heated custody battle with Spears for months now. He currently has sole custody of their sons...Spears has no visitation rights.

A star-studded cast hit the red carpet last night for the L.A. premiere of a new romantic drama. Sarah Michelle Geller and Brendan Fraser star in the film "The Air I Breathe." The two attended the event along with other stars like Andy Garcia. The movie also stars Forest Whitaker and Kevin Bacon. "The Air I Breathe" was first released in Greece last month.

That's all for now. To find more of today's news and updates go to upi.com. Thanks for watching.

my neighbor had a baby last week. He wasn't on the news... the fact is that Matthew McConaughey's baby doesn't change the quality of the air we breathe, or the rising oil prices, or how much you get paid at work... the only one who can change that is you.
