ALYSSA MILANO GIVES BIRTH TO BABY BOY

Alyssa Milano in Toronto - September 2010

Congratulations, Alyssa Milano and Husband David Bugliari! It was just a year ago that the Actress was in Toronto filming the Television Movie Sundays at Tiffanys and today we receive the fantastic news that she gave birth to a healthy Baby Boy named Milo Thomas Bugliari. Milo, People Magazine reports, was born at 9:27 AM this morning and is 19 inches long.

Too bad they didn't add Mom's Maiden Name to the mix though, as Milo Milano has a nice ring to it, no?

FEMALE SUPERHORSE ZENYATTA ENDS A REMARKABLE CAREER IN 2010 "BREEDERS' CUP CLASSIC"

Zenyatta defeated by Blame in 2010 Breeder's Cup Classic

Remarkable.  Female Superhorse Zenyatta ended her career today in what was her 20th and final race at Kentucky's Churchill Downs.  After having become the first female Horse to win the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2009, she looked to repeat the feat again this year against male competition.  And she almost did it.  Almost.

After trailing the field distantly for most of the race, she encountered a bit of traffic in the final stretch.  As soon as she and Jockey Mike Smith found a clear path, she thundered home, making up much ground only to lose by a nose to eventual winner Blame.  The winner it was announced, also is retiring after today's $5 million race.

Smith didn't have much to say afterwards, tearfully walking off the track saying only "It was my fault.  She should've won."  The race was to be Zenyatta's 20th win, marking the finale of a career which only saw Victory. But as we all know, nobody's perfect.  Human nor Horse.

Celebrities alike shared in their adoration for Zenyatta.  John Madden Tweeted, "Poor Zenyatta.  I haven't been this depressed about a horse since Sarah Jessica Parker got snubbed for an Oscar nomination."  Author Tami Hoag Tweeted "What a run!  What a mare!  Brava!".  Both Elizabeth Banks and Bobby Flay rallied their Followers to watch her race earlier also and even Alyssa Milano weighed in on the matter, Tweeting "Zenyatta.  Oh, how I love her so."

ALYSSA MILANO IN TORONTO TO FILM SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S | AUTOGRAPH CONTEST

Alyssa Milano & Mr. Will-W.

Still gorgeous.  Teen Idol Alyssa Milano is a Survivor, after having found fame in an era where not many are standing today and still getting work in Hollywood.  Many of us who grew-up in the '80s remember her as Samantha Micelli in ABC sitcom Who's The Boss.  Many of us who grew-up in the '90s remember her as Phoebe Halliwell in The WB Network's Charmed.  Although her Film Résumé isn't cluttered particularly, she just wrapped-up filming for 2011 Comedy Hall Pass, the latest from The Farrelly Brothers.  In that film she stars alongside another Survivor Christina Applegate, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis and Richard Jenkins.

As announced previously, Milano is in-town filming Lifetime Network's Sundays at Tiffany's based on the Novel by James Patterson which is about a Bride-To-Be who is revisited by the present day incarnation of her childhood BFF. She arrived last week as per her Twitter page and has been out-and-about enjoying the city with her co-star Eric Winter, posting a photo of them having Coffee at Holt Renfrew yesterday.  

On a top-secret tip-off, I caught the Actress and Humanitarian on her way out to a late Lunch today with Winter around 3:30 PM and she was just simply amazing.  There is nothing standoffish about Milano at all and that actually is not a surprise.  One of my readers John e-mailed me a personal encounter he had with her after she had discovered that somebody was forging and selling her Autographs.  Personally, she intervened and mailed him an authentic Autograph and get this - reimbursed fans who were cheated.  Wow.

Having been a fan of hers since I was a Kid, admittedly I was a bit Starstruck seeing her in-person for the first time today and I dropped my Camera (thankfully only after we got a picture together!).  Like a Klutz, I fumbled for my Batteries one-by-one off the Sidewalk, wishing her well as she called back "Thank you so much Honey!".
