Heidi Klum and Seal Welcome Baby Girl!

It’s a girl for Heidi Klum!

The Project Runway host, 36, and her musician husband, Seal, 46, welcomed Lou Sulola Samuel on Friday at 7:46 p.m. Friday night L.A., Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

“It’s difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children,” Seal wrote in a statement to Us. “Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?”

He continued, “the answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter… From the moment she looked into both of our eyes it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years.”

The news comes one week after Klum filed a petition to legally take on Seal’s last name, Samuel.

The two are also parents to sons Henry, 4, and Johan, 2. Klum has a daughter, Leni, 5, from a previous relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.

Seal announced he and his Victoria’s Secret model wife would be expanding their family during a New York City concert last April.

“Heidi and I are having another baby! I mean, Heidi is doing all the work,” the Grammy-winning artist told the audience before breaking into a cover of “A Change Is Gonna Come.”

The couple — who wed in 2005 and renewed their vows in a “White Trash”-themed ceremony earlier this year — was waiting to meet their daughter before naming her.

“I’m a firm believer that she’ll pop out and tell us what she wants to be called,” Seal told Us in September.

Klum — who recently filmed the seventh season of Lifetime’s Project Runway — says her younger children love her pregnant belly.

“They always rub my tummy,” Klum told Us. “I feel like a Buddha! If I have a dress on, Leni will literally go all the way down under my dress to rub my tummy. And I go, ‘My underwear is showing, thank you very much!'”

As for getting back her post-baby bod, she’s not concerned.

“I’m not worried,” said Klum, who famously sported a bikini at a 2005 Victoria’s Secret fashion show two months after welcoming son Henry. “I know my body will go back again!”

Christina Hendricks Marries in New York

Christina Hendricks Marries in New York Christina Hendricks has married her fiancé Geoffrey Arend at Il Buco restaurant in New York on Sunday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The redheaded Hendricks, 34, and actor Arend, 31, were engaged earlier this year after being introduced through her Mad Men costar Vincent Kartheiser. Hendricks plays the voluptuous Joan on the show.

The couple exchanged platinum wedding bands made by Tacori. “The rings are simple and lovely – so much like Christina and Geoffrey,” says Tacori rep Michelle Chila. Arend’s engraved ring matches her petite platinum ring with two rows of pave-set diamonds.

When they went ring shopping earlier this year, the two knew they had a match. “They put the rings on the table,” Childa says, “and said, ‘Look, they talk to each other. They’re friends.’ ”

In July, Hendricks told PEOPLE she was planning to wear a Carolina Herrera wedding gown. “It was the first dress I tried on,” she said at the time, “and it was magnificent.”

Equally wonderful, Hendricks said she loves “everything” about Arend. “He’s considerate, he’s thoughtful, he’s smart, he takes care of me,” she said in July. “He’s very, very giving.”

Jay-Z Jumps to Eminem’s Defense

Jay-Z and Eminem
MTV released its 2009 list of the Hottest MCs in the Game and Eminem was noticeably absent, causing quite a stir on the Internet. Jay-Z, who came in at No. 1, defended Eminem in a letter to MTV News.

“MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation. Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute.

Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission. As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year. (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)”

MTV has responded to Em’s omission by saying, “Eminem is one of the best ever on the mic. His track record is undeniable. The Hottest list deals with right now, though. If the Brain Trust had compiled the Hottest list back in May, there’s no doubt Eminem would have made the Top 10.”

Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo: Back On! | Nick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo split in June, but beginning in late August, sightings began cropping up of them together at nightclubs across the country – and in some instances they were engaged in some heavy PDA.

At the time, sources told PEOPLE that Lachey, 35, and Minnillo, 25, were merely “hanging out” and they were not officially back together.

Well, things have changed. “I am happy in a relationship,” Lachey told Good Day Philadelphia on Thursday. “I was single for a minute, there, and then we’ve kind of patched things up.” Lachey also described Minnillo as “a very smart girl. She’s far smarter than I!”

A source tells PEOPLE that the relationship remains a work in progress. “They’ve always had a lot of love for each other, but they took a little break, and now they’re working on their relationship,” says the source.

Lachey is currently touring the country in a bus for reverse auction site Winnit.com, which he co-founded as part of its “Everybody Wins Tour,” benefiting Feeding America. Minnillo has yet to join him on the road, as she works on her own projects, says the source.
