Here's today's Showbuzz – daily celebrity gossip straight from the Showbiz Show writer's room:
Britney and Child
"Britney Spears gave birth to a baby boy in Santa Monica Wednesday. The "ecstatic" Mrs. Federline says she plans to name her son "London," because that's where her romance with Kevin Federline began.
The couple was going to name the baby after where it was conceived, but it was too hard to say "Olive Garden Bathroom Floor.""

"Britney is on the market to upgrade her wedding band with a more expensive diamond. Of her current ring, Brit said, "I like this, but… I want something that's not so pokey outy."
Coincidentally, the poor Africans who risked their lives mining her current and new diamonds recently remarked they are on the market to find new jobs that aren't so "crappy-sh*tty."
