Celeb birth - Gwyneth Paltrow

LONDON (Reuters) - Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow (news) has given
birth to her first child, a daughter called Apple, a spokesman said on
Saturday.

Paltrow, 31, and her British husband Chris Martin, 27, lead singer of
the band Coldplay, said they were "ecstatic" after the baby was
delivered on Friday following a long labor at a London hospital.

"We are 900 miles over the moon," the couple said in a statement
released by Martin's spokesman Murray Chalmers.

"We would like to thank everyone at the hospital who have looked after
us amazingly."

The couple named their first child Apple Blythe Alison Martin. She
weighed 9lb 11oz (4.39 kg).

"Both mother and baby are very well," the statement added. Paltrow,
who was once engaged to Brad Pitt (news) and dated actor Ben Affleck
(news), met Martin backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002.

The couple married in a secret ceremony in southern California last
December.

Friends say Martin proved a huge support for Paltrow after the sudden
death in October 2002 of her father, film director Bruce Paltrow
(news).

Martin and the quartet Coldplay have enjoyed huge global success since
their acclaimed debut album "Parachutes" in 2000. They won a coveted
Grammy Award for "Clocks" in February.

Paltrow won a best actress Oscar for the 1998 film "Shakespeare in
Love" and recently played the late poet Sylvia Plath.

Another stupid name from another celebrity. If they had just dropped
the Apple or put it somewhere else it wouldn't be so bad. I guess the
whole waterbirth idea didn't come off either.

My mom thinks Apple is "neat", no other kid will have that name. I said I
hope not. Hope it doesn't have a big round head either, I can hear the
jokes already. What a truly stupid name.

What a huge baby though.

named "Apple" already.

Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still

Why "Apple"? Do you know why any of those parents picked that name? Do
they reeeeeeeeeeeally like the computer? I just don't get it.

Thank goodness it's Apple MArtin and not Apple Paltrow.

When my 14yo heard it she said it sounded likea drink.
"I'll have an Apple MArtin and a Martini, please."

Two of the three babies are Asian - I assume that to caucasian adoptive
parents, "Apple" sounds like it might be vaguely ethnic. Maybe? That's the
only thing I could possibly think of.

You know, I never connected it to the computer before now.
