Dancing Star gives birth: It's a boy for Marissa Jaret Winokur, of Dancing with the Stars, and her husband, comedy writer Judah Miller. Zev Isaac Miller was born Tuesday, weighing 8 lbs., 7 oz., and was carried to term by a surrogate mother. Winokur, who survived cervical cancer seven years ago, said, "I told Judah the minute Zev was conceived our lives changed!" She added, "I can't believe I am sitting here next to my baby. This is the one thing that's been missing from our lives. Now our house is really going to be a home."

Jilted bride sues fiancé:
Rosemary Shell won a $150,000 lawsuit from her ex-fiance Wayne Gibbsto on Tuesday after he broke off their engagement in 2007. Shell claims Gibbs backed out of his promise to marry her after she left her high-paying job to move to Florida to be with him and suffered financial losses when he reneged on his promise. According to Gibbs, he paid off Shell's debts and made her house payments, but after discovering she was on the brink of bankruptcy, he changed his mind. "I did more than most men would do for a woman," he testified. "I don't feel I owe her anything." Shell is keeping the engagement ring and plans to sell it.

Teen jailed for giving drugs to toddlers:
18-year-old Demetris McCoy--who was shown on a video coaxing his two nephews ages 2, and 4, to smoke pot--was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison. The video shows the boy lighting a marijuana cigarette in the 2-year-old's mouth, and laughing as the child smokes, then passing it to his brother who does the same, while their mother slept in the next room. Drug tests showed the toddlers had marijuana and cocaine in their bodies. They have been placed in foster care.

Girls and boys have equal math skills:
New research published in the journal Science shows girls measure up to boys in math from 2nd grade to 11th. When researchers analyzed annual math tests of more than seven million children, they found no difference in math score between the two sexes, attributing the rise to more girls taking advanced math classes like calculus. "Parents and teachers persist in thinking boys are simply better at math," said Janet Hyde, a University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher who led the study.
