After a week of silence, Chris Brown is finally speaking out about his arrest and alleged attack on girlfriend Rihanna and admitting he is “sorry and saddened” about the situation.

Brown has hired a crisis management team to help him deal with the aftermath of the altercation that occurred last weekend following the Clive Davis Grammy party in Los Angeles. Brown released the following statement:

“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired,” he said.

“I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.”

Brown added in his statement: “Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong.

“While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds.”

Earlier today Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty also spoke out about the attack and said that he hopes his daughter “will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world.”

The London-born Sri Lankan singer, 31, gave birth to a boy in Los Angeles on Wednesday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

On her MySpace Celebrity Blog, M.I.A. writes (in all capital letters) that on Sunday night, after the Grammys, “MY EARLY STAGE LABOUR KICKED IN AROUND 2 AM … MY BABY WAS BORN WEDNESDAY, HE IS HEALTHY, FINE, BEAUTIFUL AND THE MOST AMZING THING EVER ON THIS PLANET, OF COURSE IM HIS MUM!!!”

This is the first child for M.I.A., whose given name in Mathangi Arulpragasam, and her fiancé, Benjamin Brewer, lead singer and guitarist of The Exit. The pregnancy was announced last October.

Asked on the Grammys red carpet last Sunday what she most eagerly anticipated about being a new mom, M.I.A. told PEOPLE, “Everything. I think it’s going to be the best thing in the world!”

She then delivered a memorable performance of “Swagga Like Us” with Jay-Z, T.I., Lil Wayne and Kanye West.

Next Sunday, Feb. 22, M.I.A. is expected at the Academy Awards to perform “O Saya,” from Slumdog Millionaire – which is in the running for Best Song.

Kevin Costner, Wife Welcome Baby Boy

Kevin Costner and Christine BaumgartnerKevin Costner and his wife Christine have welcomed a baby boy.

Hayes Logan Costner — who weighed 8 lbs., 15 oz. — was born on Thursday night, his rep says.

As for the moniker “Hayes,” Costner recently told AP Radio he was naming his boy after “a cowboy character” in a Western he plans to film. He added that Hayes is “a great Western name.”

Costner wed his wife in Colorado in 2004.

They welcomed their first son, Cayden Wyatt, in May 2007.

Costner also has three children from his first marriage to Cindy Silva.

Last year, Costner opened up to Parade magazine about his fear of marrying again and having more children.

“Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn’t be an effective father,” he said.

He soon changed his mind when he thought to himself, “‘Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?’

“That’s all it took,” he said. “I decided that I was not going to miss out on love.”

Mira Sorvino Expecting Third Child

Mira Sorvino and Christopher BackusMira Sorvino is pregnant with her third child, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively.

“We are overjoyed at the thought of welcoming a new addition to the family,” Sorvino, 41, tells Us. “With each child, the love in our hearts has expanded beyond what we ever imagined was possible.”

The actress — who was named a Goodwill Ambassador to combat Human Trafficking by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime on Thursday — and her husband of four years, Christopher Backus are already parents to Mattea Angel, 4, and Johnny Christopher King, 2.

The couple met a friend’s charades party in August 2003. They first said “I Do” in a private civil ceremony at a Santa Barbara, Calif., courthouse, and then later in Capri, Italy.

“We spend all our time with our two kids,” Sorvino told CNN last month. “They’re our favorite people in the world. We don’t spend a lot of time partying. We don’t go out much. And we just love our children and we love each other. And we have a good life. You know, we’re sort of normal people living in an abnormal place.”

Sorvino won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 1995 for her role in Mighty Aphrodite. She most recently starred on NBC’s The Last Templar with Backus, who has also appeared on The O.C and Will & Grace.

Doctor: Usher’s Wife Had a Heart Attack Before Plastic Surgery

Usher and Tameka FosterUsher‘s wife, Tameka Foster, suffered a heart attack in Brazil before undergoing plastic surgery, the Associated Press reports.

Foster, 37, checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital on Feb. 6 for a “simple liposuction,” says Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman.

Foster went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized, “but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage,” Dastry adds.

She was then placed into an induced coma before being transferred into an intensive care unit “to avoid unnecessary complications.”

She’s currently recovering in Sao Paulo’s better-equipped Sirio-Libanes Hospital, added Dastry, who did not release any additional details.

Usher, 33, cancelled his performance at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Gala last Saturday to rush to Brazil to be with his wife. His rep told Usmagazine.com Monday that she was in “stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery.”

Foster and Usher wed in August 2007. They are parents to two-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond and Usher Raymond V, 15 months. Foster also has three sons from a prior relationship.
