Just another celebrity baby to add to the masses that seem to be populating 2008 – but it’s still nice news.

Singer Lemar is celebrating after his long-term partner gave birth to a baby girl. Charmaine Powell gave birth to Nyiema Obika at London’s private Portland hospital on Saturday night, weighing 7lbs.

A spokeswoman for the 29-year-old singer said: “Lemar is overwhelmed on the birth of his beautiful daughter. Mother and little baby girl are both doing fine.”

Lemar, whose full name is Lemar Obika, first came to fame on BBC talent show Fame Academy in 2002. After finishing in third place, he launched a successful music career, winning two Brit awards and three Mobos for his blend of soul and R&B.

Another celebrity baby has been born. A fat and healthy baby boy just entered Usher’s life, as his fresh wife gave birth.

The couple is thriving with joy, and Usher is content with his new found fatherhood. His wife, Tameka Foster, has already 3 children, this is her fourth. A late child for Tameka as she is already 37 years old, in contrast with the young singer who is only 29.

Their whole marriage is wrapped in mystery and no one really know if they got married just because he was pregnant or if the couple really intend of spending their lives tighter. That is for us to see and maybe comment on in the future, for now let’s all welcome usher’s new baby boy.

We first saw Sheryl Crow do it with adopted son Wyatt, then we saw Liv Tyler do it with her son and her father and now we have Gwen Stefani. For the last concert of The Sweet Escape Tour on Saturday at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, California, the platinum blonde singer brought out her 17-month old son Kingston on stage with her.

Kingston wore the same kid-friendly noise-canceling headphones that the other babies did when they were brought on stage. A video of his on-stage appearance has made it onto YouTube. There was an ‘aww’ moment when the littly tyke started banging on the keyboard on stage. How cute!
