In some positive news, the brother of Kate Hudson, Oliver, who is married to actress Erinn Bartlett, just had a baby.

Oliver proposed to Erinn with an engagement ring by Neil Lane. It’s a 3 carat stone with a platinum band.

I love the way People put the ring story:

“When he gave the ring to Bartlett, it was too big – but she loved it so much she wore the band wrapped with Scotch tape for weeks before taking it in for sizing. ”

Isn’t that sweet?

P.S. It was a toughie to see Kate’s ex BF, Owen Wilson, land in the hospital. Whatever caused the problem… I love that guy. He seems so nice and easygoing, it’s like hearing that famous Pagliacci story to imagine him tormented so…

“A man goes to the doctor. Says he’s depressed. He says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. The doctor says “The treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him, that should pick you up.” The man bursts into tears. He says “But doctor… I am Pagliacci.””

I wish him and his whole family Godspeed and a full recovery and thanks for making me laugh….
