Robert Downey Jr. Welcomes Son Exton Elias

Wife Susan delivered son Exton Elias Downey at 7:24 a.m. in Los Angeles, his rep confirmed. “Everyone is healthy and they couldn’t be happier,” a friend of the couple says. Baby boy weighs in at 7 lbs., 5 oz., is 20 inches long and joins big brother Indio, 18, Downey’s son from his previous marriage.

M.I.A. and Fiance Split

M.I.A. apparently has more to worry about right now than dealing with the post-Super Bowl wrath of Madonna (thunder-stealing is not cool with Queen Madge) and coughing up any fines incurred from her controversy-generating finger flipping. The British singer has called it quits with her fiancé, musician and businessman (not to mention Seagrams scion) Benjamin Bronfman. M.I.A. has been holing up in London, while their son, Ikhyd (yes, Ikhyd), who turns 3 this weekend, has been in New York with his dad (Bronfman's philanthropist mom, Sherry, is said to be pitching in on child-care duties). Another insider claims the singer, who began dating Bronfman in 2008, "sometimes goes six weeks without seeing" the tyke.

 Fresh off her Super Bowl halftime show extravaganza, Madonna announced tour dates in support of her upcoming "MDNA" album. The 53-year-old pop star will kick off the tour on May 29 in Tel Aviv and work her way through the Middle East and Europe before hitting North America in August. Tickets are expected to go on sale in the U.S. on Feb. 13. Madge will also make stops in South America and Australia, but those dates haven't been announced yet.
