Matthew Simmons/Getty Images for SBIFF(NEW YORK) — Two days after Alec and Hilaria Baldwin welcomed their newborn son, they’re ready to reveal his name. Meet Eduardo!
“We would love to introduce you to Eduardo Pau Lucas Baldwin. Born Sept 8, 2020 at 7:46pm he weighed 7lbs 8oz,” she captioned an adorable Instagram post of the baby boy swaddled in a waffle-knit blanket on Thursday. “His name means ‘wealthy guardian of peace and light.’ We love you baby Edu.”
The baby name news comes just one day after the 36-year-old mom shared the exciting news that she had given birth.
“We had a baby last night. He is perfect and we couldn’t be happier,” she wrote on Wednesday.
Hilaria spilled that she was pregnant in April with an Instagram video that captured the sound of the baby’s heartbeat after she disclosing that she experienced two miscarriages in 2019.
Eduardo is the fifth child for the couple who married in 2012. Together they also have seven-year-old daughter Carmen, five-year-old son Rafael, three-year-old son Leonardo and two-year-old son Romeo. Alec also has a daughter, Ireland, from his previous marriage to Kim Basigner.

RCA NashvilleOld Dominion could take home more trophies than anyone else at next week’s Academy of Country Music Awards, with nominations for Group, Video, Single, and Song of the Year.
“We do have quite a few of ’em…” lead singer Matthew Ramsey says humbly. “I guess that’s because we get to double-dip as producers and writers and, you know, our hands are all over this thing this year.”
The ACM’s 55th annual show will undoubtedly be unlike any other, taking place in September in Nashville for the very first time, without an audience, with performances happening at the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman, and the Bluebird Cafe.
“I think it’ll come across great on TV for sure,” Matthew tells ABC Audio. “I think that will look really good. It’s a little awkward for us as performers, you know, to get up there and really do it for no one in the room.”
“But, our performance is a nice long medley,” he reveals, “so we get to spend some time up there and play lots of different songs that we’ve had over the years. So, [we’re] excited about that.”
“Just any chance, especially these days, to play some music and get it out there into the world somehow is welcomed,” he adds.
Backstage, it’s typically like a family reunion for the artists, but that won’t be the case this year, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“They’re doing very good at making sure everyone is tested and safe and masked, and lots and lots of safety precautions,” Matthew explains. “So I don’t think we’ll really see much of anybody, honestly.”
“I think we’ll be kind of chilling on our bus, waiting to see what happens,” he laughs.
The 55th ACM Awards air Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
James Gourley/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Lindsay Lohan is in more hot water, this time with a publisher who’s suing the actress for nearly $400,000 — an advance on a proposed book it claims never got written.
LiLo and her company, Crossheart Productions, allegedly entered into a contract with HarperCollins back in 2014 for a book that was originally due a year later, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit obtained by the New York Post.
The Mean Girls star, as the suit claims, was given an advance of $365,000 but the manuscript never materialized, even after a two year extension.
Finally in 2018, the complaint alleges HarperCollins informed Lohan’s reps that they were terminating the contract and demanded she return the money.
“By failing to return the money to the Plaintiff upon the Defendants’ breach of the agreement, the Defendants have received a windfall and have been unjustly enriched,” the suit claims.
HarperCollins lawyer Jeffrey Maidenbaum tells the Post, “She did not turn in a manuscript and the book was never published.”
The troubled 34-year-old actress was slated to write a book on life, largely based on a journal she kept during her 2013 stint in rehab, according to the newspaper, which adds the book deal was said to be worth $1 million.
(NEW YORK) — A COVID-19 outbreak has rapidly spread through a Virginia jail, infecting at least 120 inmates and 20 staff members despite emergency protocols officials say have been in place since March to prevent the contagion from infiltrating the facility.
The Pamunkey Regional Jail in Hanover, Virginia, is the latest U.S. correctional institution to report an outbreak of coronavirus which has plagued thousands of jail and prison inmates across the country since the global pandemic started earlier this year.
On Wednesday, officials at the Pamunkey jail announced that 120 of the 380 inmates incarcerated at the lockup have tested positive for the virus in the six days since the first inmate case was detected on Sept. 3.
“It’s virtually impossible to stop outbreaks from occurring within facilities of these types,” Dr. Tom Franck, director of the Chickahominy Health District in Virginia, said during a news conference at the jail. “When you have a congregated setting like this and you’ve got people sharing bathrooms and sharing space together, it’s almost inevitable that you’re going to get outbreaks.”
Franck said officials have narrowed the outbreak to a specific pod at the jail, saying about 70% of the 178 inmates in that section have tested positive for the virus and that test results are pending for another dozen inmates.
While it remains unclear how the virus invaded the 127,000-square-foot facility that has 15 different housing units, James Willett, the jail’s superintendent, said two staff members tested positive for COVID-19 on Aug. 20 and a jail contractor tested positive on Aug. 28.
He said the two jail employees and a third staff member who tested positive on Aug. 31 were immediately instructed to self-isolate. Since then, another 17 staff members have tested positive and have gone into self-isolation.
Willett said the first inmate to test positive had exhibited cold-like symptoms, but most of the other inmates were asymptomatic. He said the inmates who contracted the virus have been isolated from the jail’s general population.
Roughly 200 other inmates at the jail will be tested in the coming days and that the facility has been placed on lockdown, Willett said. He added that any inmate who refuses to be tested will be placed in isolation for 10 to 14 days.
Willett said that none of the inmates who have tested positive have needed to be hospitalized and no deaths have occurred as the result of coronavirus.
The outbreak at the jail came despite stringent precautionary measures instituted at the jail in March that include medical screenings of all newly arriving inmates, who are placed in quarantine for 14 days before being moved to the general population, according to Willett. He said the jail has also canceled all non-essential visits, instituted enhanced cleaning measures of the facility and trained staff and inmates on hand-washing and proper social distancing.
Nathan Webel, deputy superintendent of the jail, told ABC affiliate station WRIC-TV in Richmond, Virginia, that all employees and inmates have been issued N95 masks and are required to wear them at all times, adding that inmates must wear masks any time they leave their bunks.
The outbreak came after Southern California officials announced they are dealing with a rapidly-spreading COVID-19 outbreak at the Santa Barbara County Jail. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that 42 inmates have the virus and are currently isolated, including three who tested positive on Thursday.
Since the pandemic started, a total of 84 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19, including a 38-year-old man who died from the virus on Aug. 11, jail spokesperson Raquel Zick told ABC News on Thursday. The jail has a total of about 450 inmates.
U.S. jails and prisons have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic, prompting the early release or home confinement of thousands of inmates in an attempt to reduce the population of incarcerated individuals.
A research letter published in July in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that between March 31 and June 6, 42,107 inmates at U.S. prisons had contracted COVID-19 and 510 had died. The research, conducted by the UCLA Law COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project, found that the COVID-19 case rate for U.S. prisoners was 5.5 times higher than the U.S. population case rate of 587 per 100 000 people.
