Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are "so happy" after becoming parents for the first time.
The 'Black Swan' actress - who started dating her former 'That 70s Show' co-star in 2012 and got engaged to him earlier this year - gave birth to a "healthy" baby girl at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (30.09.14) and a friend told Us Weekly that the couple are thrilled with their new arrival, whose name has not yet been revealed.
Meanwhile, a number of stars have sent their congratulations to the couple.
Robert Downey Jr. - who has sons, Indio, 21, from his first marriage, and Exton, two, with wife Susan - joked it seemed as though the actress had been pregnant for "three years".
Speaking at the premiere of his film 'The Judge', he told 'Entertainment Tonight': "When you're in the public eye, it seems like you're pregnant for three years.
"So I'm glad that she's finally past that point . Congrats.
His wife, who is expecting the couple's second child together, added: "I hope it all works out well. It's tiring, but it's the best thing ever.
And his co-star in 'The Judge', Billy Bob Thornton - who has three adult children, two sons and a daughter from previous relationships, and 10-year-old Bella with current partner Connie Angland - warned the new parents they will be very protective over their little girl.
He said: "Way to go Mila, that's awesome. My daughter is 10 years old and the apple of my eye, the centre of my universe. Girls do something to you. You stay very protective."

Jennifer Garner had head lice when she first met George Clooney.
The 42-year-old actress - who has children Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and Samuel, two, with husband Ben Affleck - had been trying to rid her family of the pesky parasites ones evening when her husband insisted they attend a Hollywood party and she admits the first impression she gave the 'Monuments Men' star wasn't great because she gave off a distinctive pungent smell from the chemical treatment she had put on her hair.
She recalled: "We all got lice. It's making me itchy just to talk about it. This was years ago.
"They have people like the Lice Lady, and they come over and they comb painstakingly through your hair, and then they put something on your hair...It looks like the put Crisco in your hair but you smell a little bit like a mixture of sulfur and rosemary. And you do it everyday for a month!
"Ben had gone early and he'd showered. He came out and he said, 'Hey, um, there's a party. I wanna go. Let's go.' And I said, 'I can't. I need to shower.' I mean, I'm in, like, cargo pants. I'm nasty in a thousand [ways]. He's like, 'Come on! I mean, we have a babysitter. I want you to come with me.'
"So, I get in the car and I go with him because he acted like I was going to be high maintenance. I don't ever want to be called high maintenance. I am not a high maintenance chick! So I'm like, 'What's the big deal? No one's gonna notice.
"We show up and the first person I see is George Clooney, and I'd never met George Clooney. I was kind of like, 'Ah, he's so handsome! Like, oh, my God!' So, I see him and I walk up to him and I'm chatting with him, just trying to act like it's cool...and I can see that he smells me, you know? But he's trying to be polite."
And the 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day' star jokingly claimed her lice problem was the reason why she and her husband weren't at George's wedding to Amal Alamuddin in Venice, Italy, over the weekend.
Speaking to talk show host Jimmy Fallon, she laughed: "So, anyway, people keep asking why we weren't at George's wedding and we were both 'working' but I think he didn't want Licey there. He's like, 'No, we don't need the Afflecks. We're OK!' "

Sir Michael Caine no longer gets drunk.
The 81-year-old actor hasn't got inebriated for years because he is too much of a "control freak" to enjoy the experience.
During his 'A Night Out With... Sir Michael Caine' show at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Wednesday night (01.10.14), he revealed: "I'm a control freak. That's why I never get drunk. I've been drunk, but that was before I knew I was a control freak. I suppose it's just me, it's who I am. I love to be outside and I love to be casting an eye over everything."
The show featured Caine being quizzed by Jonathan Ross about his career and the retrospective included performances of incidental music and theme songs from the actor's impressive filmography by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Joss Stone took to the stage to sing 'Alfie' from the film of the same name and Caine's long-time friend Quincy Jones conducted the orchestra when music from 'The Italian Job' - the movie the super-producer scored - was performed.
Stars in the sold-out audience included Jerry Hall, Simon Pegg, David Walliams, the Oscar winner's wife Shakira and his friend Sir Roger Moore.
Speaking on the red carpet beforehand, Caine insisted he wasn't nervous and was just happy the event had sold-out because all the money raised was going to the NSPCC charity to help disadvantaged children.
The 'Zulu' star - who has revealed he was mistreated as a young boy when he was evacuated from London and separated from his mother during World War II - told BANG Showbiz: "No I'm not nervous about this, they're not paying me and they can't fire me!
"I'm doing it for the NSPCC, my favourite charity, it's a charity I love and I know I'm helping children by doing something for them. I've given more money to this charity than any other. I think it's amazing that anyone turned up and we sold all the tickets! When they told me it was the Royal Albert Hall, I thought, 'Oh my God!' It's not like playing at a theatre where there's a few hundred seats, there's 6,000 seats in there. Anyway we sold the seats and we'll make a load of money for charity which is why we're here."
When asked how he felt to be a national treasure in Britain, he laughed: "Well, you don't know what to do if you're a national treasure. There are no restaurants you can go to that are just for national treasures! There's no course in it. I just live my life, that's all."

Kris Jenner would do anything for her children.
The showbiz matriarch - who has kids Khloe, Kourtney, Kim and Rob Kardashian with late ex-husband Robert Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner with estranged spouse Bruce Jenner - finds it "hurtful" when her parenting skills are criticised and even though she is also her children's manager, she says being their mother will always come first.
Speaking in a forthcoming episode of 'Beyond Candid With Giuliana', she said: "As hurtful as it might be, no one knows what's going on.
"When someone starts criticising your role and your ability to be a good mom. I prided myself my entire life...my most important role in my life is being a mom. There's nothing I wouldn't do for my kids."
And the 58-year-old star isn't immune to criticism from her own family, admitting she gets "tortured" by her daughters over the way she treats their brother.
She said: "I often get tortured by Kourtney, Kimberley and Khloe about it, and Kendall and Kylie, because they think I baby Rob."
The family shot to fame on reality show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' and Kris admits she has always advised her loved ones not to read what people say about them online, insisting much of what is published is "absolute lies".
She said: "One of the things that I told the kids when we first started was don't get on the internet, don't read the crap out there, there's a lot of haters.
"At some point, you can't control what really ignorant, nasty people are going to say about a family that they really nothing about personally. 99.9% of the stuff that's printed is absolute lies."
Elsewhere in the interview, Kris wept as she spoke about her ex-husband Robert's death, admitting his passing in 2003 was "probably the worst thing that I've ever been through".
She added: "To watch my kids have to suffer through it was horrible, a horrible experience."

Robert Downey Jr has suggested he will continue to play the role of Iron Man in the Marvel films.
The 49-year-old is contractually obliged to play the iconic character in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' - which he's already completed filming - as well as another 'Avengers' flick.
And Downey Jr hinted he will continue to play the role thereafter, telling The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm sure we'll ride that thing. You've got to surf that all the way in to shore."
He added: "I think I was at the forefront of something that was coming into being, and I think it has carried me as much as I have informed it.
"That's the healthy way to look at it. It's so easy to become inflated by the successes, but what they really are are long, strong trends. It's just another wave."
Downey Jr assumed the role of Tony Stark - who is more commonly known as Iron Man - for the first time in 2008.
He has since appeared in two additional 'Iron Man' movies, grossing more than $2 billion worldwide.
However, in an interview conducted with Variety last month, Downey Jr was asked whether there are plans to make a fourth 'Iron Man' movie and he said: "There isn't one in the pipe. No, there's no plan for a fourth Iron Man."

Sir Michael Caine thinks Ben Affleck will do "very well" playing Batman.
The 81-year-old actor - who portrayed butler Alfred Pennyworth opposite Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy - is sure Affleck will do The Caped Crusader character proud in new movie 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
When asked how he thought Affleck would do in the superhero role, Caine said: "I think he's going to do very well because it's a different outlook and he's a very good actor, Ben Affleck is a wonderful actor."
Caine is so sure the 'Man of Steel' sequel will be great he's going to go to the cinema to watch it.
He added to BANG Showbiz: "I think it will be a really interesting film, I'll definitely go and watch it."
The movie icon is very proud of his work in his three Batman films because they introduced him to a whole new generation of fans.
He said: "There's a whole generation of kids who know who I am because of Batman. I've gone from Alfie to Alfred. I've got new fans."
Caine was speaking before he appeared at The Royal Albert Hall in London on Wednesday night (01.10.14) for 'A Night Out With... Sir Michael Caine', a retrospective of his career hosted by Jonathan Ross to raise money for the NSPCC charity.
During the Q&A, the movie legend revealed Nolan personally delivered the script for 'Batman Begins' to his house and wouldn't leave until he read his part as Alfred.
The actor recalled: "It's amazing when you're an actor, things happen. One Sunday morning there's a knock at the door, and there's a guy standing there who I've never met and I don't recognise and he's holding a script and he says, 'I've got a script for you.' So I said, 'OK, thank you very much.' He goes, 'Can I come in and talk to you.' I thought he was just delivering it, but I suddenly got a feeling this guy was quite important. So he comes in and introduces himself and he's got the script for the first Batman. 'I want you to play the butler,' he tells me. I said, 'So what do I say? Dinner is served? Would you like a beverage with that?' He says, 'No it's better than that Michael.'
"He's a very secretive director. So I said, 'OK leave it with me, and I'll get my driver to send it back to you tomorrow.' He said, 'No, I want you to read it now. I'll wait and you tell me if you like it.' And of course it was an incredible part, of Alfred the butler. He wasn't just a butler he was Batman's foster father. And so began a thing with Christopher."

Rita Ora and Ricky Wilson have been flirting on 'The Voice'.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker and the frontman of the Kaiser Chiefs are currently filming for the new series of the BBC One talent show - alongside fellow judges Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am - and are reportedly already very comfortable with each other.
An audience member at a taping for the show in Manchester told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was very flirty, but to make sure it wasn't taken the wrong way he then kissed Tom Jones on the cheek too.
"They had a chat in between takes where they were holding on to each other's arms, too. They've clearly hit it off."
Ricky kissed the 23-year-old singer - who is making her debut as a judge on this series - on the cheek after she lost out on an act she turned her chair for during the show's blind auditions.
It is unlikely for anything more to happen with the pair though as they both have partners. Ricky has been with TV producer Lesley Williams for five years and Rita is currently dating Tommy Hilfiger's son, Richard.
However, Rita - who split from Calvin Harris earlier this year - did admit that she had massaged Ricky with oil to help him "relax".
The 36-year-old 'Ruby' hitmaker was branded "such a flirt" by Rita after he told a contestant about their backstage antics.
Ricky said: "You should have seen me before I came out, Rita was putting oil on me. She said 'smell this' ... She was putting oil on me."

'Emmerdale' actress Laura Norton has sore knees from 'slut-dropping'.
The actress - who plays the character of Kerry Wyatt in the ITV soap - regularly has aching knees from performing the racy dance move because the writers of the show seem to constantly find excuses to include it.
Talking at the Inside Soap Awards, where she won the title of Funniest Female, she told BANG Showbiz: "I did a slut drop in the show about a year-and-a-half ago and ever since I did it, every time I open another script I have to do another slut drop!"
The pain in her joints has now got so bad the 31-year-old star thinks the only escape from her signature dance move will be a serious knee injury.
She continued: "My knees are really sore, I've absolutely done my right knee in now, so I'm going to have to try and do it really badly so they stop writing it in!"
Despite the pain, the Geordie lass has confirmed her love for dancing, and has teased upcoming 'Emmerdale' scenes where she's at it again, this time wearing a wedding dress.
She explained: "There's something coming up actually on Halloween where we've got us back in my wedding dress for fancy dress and I end up doing a few slut moves, slut drops."
"Although I'm moaning I'm always dancing or doing something."

Ben Miller believes female comedians are out performing their male counterparts.
The 48-year-old comedian-and-actor - who is one half of double act Armstrong and Miller - has praised the "amazing" women who are currently on the comedy circuit.
He said: "Well I think female comedians are leaving male comedians behind at the moment, there are so many amazing, amazing female comedians coming through.
"Every show that you look now there's another brilliant female stand-up. I think that's the big change that I have noticed since I started doing comedy."
Meanwhile, Ben credits women for changing stand-up comedy, making an impact on the industry and helping comedy to be more "detailed [and] emotional".
A survey conducted by Ticketmaster showed that sales for female comics had trebled since 2011.
Ben said: "In the 90s it would be like the black market 'Do you know any funny women?' and you would pass round names, and you would go and see somebody; there might have been a handful of women who were doing comedy but now many, many more and they are all so brilliant.
"I feel they've really moved joke-telling on. There is a change in stand-up comedy being less brash, more kind of thoughtful, more detailed, more emotional. The great insights that women have are now finding their way into comedy and I think it's a great thing, a great thing."

Ben said: "In the 90s it would be like the black market 'Do you know any funny women?' and you would pass round names, and you would go and see somebody; there might have been a handful of women who were doing comedy but now many, many more and they are all so brilliant.
"I feel they've really moved joke-telling on. There is a change in stand-up comedy being less brash, more kind of thoughtful, more detailed, more emotional. The great insights that women have are now finding their way into comedy and I think it's a great thing, a great thing."

Frankie Bridge has suffered an ankle injury while training for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 25-year-old pop star and mum-of-one hurt her left ankle practising moves on the dance floor alongside her professional partner Kevin Clifton.
The Saturdays singer revealed the news on her Instagram account, which featured a picture of Kevin, 31, applying ice to her ankle and with a caption reading: "Ouch!! My 1st Strictly injury."
The 'What About Us' star is among the favourites for this year's competition, but the light-hearted nature of Frankie's message would suggest her participation in this weekend's show is not under threat.
Frankie recently revealed she has to take motion-sickness tablets before her 'Strictly Come Dancing performances.
However, the brunette beauty claimed gruelling rehearsals have left her feeling fitter than ever.
She told OK! magazine: "When I'm spinning, I get really bad motion sickness so I'll have to take travel sickness tablets.
"Every part of my body aches but my body feels toned and I feel fitter than ever. With touring on top, this is the most exercise I've ever done so I'm eating what I want."
What's more, Frankie spoke of her excitement at the opportunity to change her appearance on the show.
Frankie - who is married to former England footballer Wayne Bridge - said: "I tried to be different and have long hair last year but it didn't really suit me.
"Everyone changes their hair each week on 'Strictly' but I can't, so the hair and make-up guys were like, 'Oh we have wigs.' I'm never going to get to wear wigs any other time so I might as well give them a go."

George Clooney asked an unknown singer to perform at his wedding.
The 'Monuments Men' actor and his new wife, human rights barrister, Amal Alamuddin, decided against asking a well known pop star to sing at their nuptials in Venice, Italy, on Saturday (27.09.14), preferring to shine the spotlight on the daughter of their family friend.
According to People magazine, Nora Sagal - the daughter of Warner Brothers executive David Sagal - performed during the couple's romantic Venetian ceremony and even serenaded them as they took to the dance floor for their first dance.
George shared: "[She] sang 'Always' during the ceremony."
She then sang a cover of the Cole Porter song, 'Why Shouldn't I?' for the first dance.
George and Amal also included a sentimental nod to the actor's parents, Nick and Nina, by starting the ceremony off with an Irving Berlin song, the same song his mother and father danced to at their own wedding.
The Hollywood hunk previously praised Nora as "insanely talented" after asking her to record 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' for the 'Monuments Men' soundtrack.
He said: "[Nora] is just an insanely talented singer. She recorded that song and we just used it."

Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks the key to her labour going smoothly was feeding her husband snacks.
The 'Criminal Minds' actress gave birth to daughter Autumn 10 months ago and says spouse Brian Hallisay was "great" in the delivery room - because she ensured he was well fed and content throughout the long process.
She said: "This is the thing, too, if you are in labour, feed your husband and they are wonderful. He can't be hungry -- you need them!
"If he passed out or something bad happened out of being hangry, then I don't get what I need, which is my rock. I had pudding for him and snack bars ... it was great!"
The 35-year-old star says her husband was so "solid" during her labour, he should consider a new career helping women deliver their babies.
She told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: "He should be a male doula. I was really worried that I was going to get that face -- 'Mmm, what's happening here?' -- and I'm not good at the faces so I would've been like, 'What does that mean? What does that mean!' But he was just like, 'This is great. I am so proud of you right now. This is awesome, you look beautiful.'
"I was really proud of him. He's that guy anyway, so he's impressive in that way, but he was great."
Autumn has already taken her first steps and her famous mother is nursing many bruises as a result - because she can't get to grips with the temporary gates installed around their home to keep the youngster contained.
She explained: "I have bruises everywhere from falling over [the gates].
"You're holding the baby and you have to lift up and then swing it ... it's impossible!"
