The babies’ names are (drum roll ….)
Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick (5 pounds and 11 ounces)
Tabitha Hodge Broderick (6 pounds)
Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker’s side.
This would be Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s babies, BTW.

TweetNJ Housewife junkie? Read all about Danielle…
On Tuesday, The Smoking Gun website published federal court documents detailing Real Housewives on New Jersey “star” Danielle Staub’s sordid past.
The papers show that Staub, 46 (then known as Beverly Ann Merrill and sometimes as Angela Minelli) “was arrested by FBI agents in June 1986 for her role in a kidnapping plot that grew out of a cocaine deal gone bad.” Also involved was Daniel Aguilar, a guy she met while she was working for an escort service.
The papers reveal that she and Aguilar “sought to extort a $25,000 ransom from a man whose son they were holding.” The son — whom they “threatened injury or death” — “was blamed by Merrill and Aguilar for the botched drug deal, which cost them a kilo of cocaine worth about $24,000,” according to the papers.
When they were arrested, “agents discovered six kilos of cocaine and about $16,000 in cash,” according to the papers.
Staub “was charged with eight felonies, including extortion, cocaine possession and narcotics conspiracy.”
Along with Aguilar, she later became an informant and pleaded guilty to “a single felony count.” She was sentenced to five years’ probation (Aguilar got 15 years behind bars) and was ordered into a drug treatment program.
In other NJ Housewife news, Jacqueline Laurita tells US magazine that she and Danielle no longer speak.

TweetJon & Kate: Separated for two years?
If anybody needed any more proof that what we see on TV is not reality — in any shape or form — here’s some more evidence, courtesy of Jon - Kate + 8.
Apparently, the couple’s divorce papers, filed Monday in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County Court, feature Kate Gosselin describing her marriage ias “irretrievably broken” — she also checked a box that indicated she and hubby Jon have been “living separate and apart” for at least two years.
Don’t know about you, but I feel cheated. Played the fool. Not really, because does it really matter? But still.
“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate said in a statement Monday.
E! Online reports the following:
But while both parents were spotted earlier (Tuesday) playing with their kids outside their spacious home — where Jon and Kate will take turns caring for the brood in the future — in an affected stab at normalcy, their divorce filing reveals that they have not been able to agree on how to divide their assets. According to divorce attorney Jennifer Brandt, who is not involved with the Gosselins, Kate’s two-year separation claim could be money-related. In Pennsylvania, any income an individual makes between the time of separation and divorce belongs solely to him or her, and Kate has reportedly been raking in the dough from book deals and speaking appearances, in addition to what she’s earned from her TV show. After two years of separation, a spouse can file for a no-fault divorce, which puts the relationship on the fast-track to dissolution. Kate will have to prove that she and Jon were living like roommates rather than a married couple during the two-year stretch of being “separate and apart,” Brandt tells E! News. “I mean, we’ve all seen them on TV acting as they’re married,” she says. “[Kate] would have to come out and say that was just a facade, and that realistically, they weren’t really together.” “If she’s successful in her claim that there has been a two-year separation, she’ll be able to move this divorce forward without even waiting for [Jon’s] consent.” If the Gosselins find common ground and sort out their financial and custody issues outside of court, Brandt says, they can avoid going before a judge and airing their dirty laundry in public. After all, she adds, “this is not something that they want in front of a judge.”

TweetNick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo break up
Grab your handkerchiefs.
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have broken up, according to People.com and about a thousand other gossip Web sites.
A publicist for the actress and former MTV VJ confirmed to E! News that she and the 98 Degrees alum “have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another.”
Minnillo, 28, started dating Lachey, 35, in 2006 after meeting during a shoot for his music video for “What’s Left of Me.” She had just ended her three-year romance with New York Yankees star Derek Jeter, and he had just gotten divorced from singer Jessica Simpson.
