C.C. Dyer Rivera, wife of Geraldo, gave birth to an 81/2-pound girl, Simone Cruickshank, Saturday in Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital.

Martin Ciccone, Madonna's brother, has been in Oakland County (Mich.) Jail for more than 11 weeks for want of $2,500 bail. He was arrested July 9 in Pontiac and charged with drunken driving, fleeing the scene of an accident and driving with a revoked license after his car crashed into an oncoming vehicle.
