Reese Witherspoon welcomes 3rd baby

Reese Witherspoon welcomes 3rd baby

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Reese Witherspoon has given birth to her third child, naming him after a place close to her heart.

Meredith O’Sullivan Wasson, Witherspoon’s publicist, said Thursday that “Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth welcomed Tennessee James into their family today. Both mom and baby are healthy and the entire family is thrilled.”

The 36-year-old “Legally Blonde” and “Walk the Line” star lived in Tennessee when she was young. Witherspoon is already a mom to Ava, 13, and Deacon, 8, from her prior marriage to Ryan Phillippe. Toth is an agent for Creative Artists Agency.

Lil Wayne tops Elvis Presley’s record

NEW YORK (AP) — Lil Wayne is not only making rap history, he’s making rock ‘n roll history: the rapper has surpassed Elvis Presley as the male with the most entries on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

Lil Wayne now has 109 songs on that chart with Thursday’s debut of Game’s song “Celebration,” where he is a guest alongside Chris Brown, Tyga and Wiz Khalifa. Of his 109 charted songs, only 42 are led by Lil Wayne; 67 are songs where he is the featured act.

Thursday is the rapper’s 30th birthday.

Presley totaled 108 songs on the Hot 100 since it launched in 1958. Presley’s career kicked off before that and several of his songs — like “Heartbreak Hotel” — could not be included in his total number.

The “Glee” cast has the most Hot 100 entries with 204.
