Moore, who starred in "Indecent Proposal" and "Ghost," gave birth Thursday in Los Angeles to her third girl.
"Both mother and baby are doing fantastic," said Paul Bloch, a spokesman for Willis, the star of the "Die Hard" movies.
Rumer is 5, and Scout is 2.
Don't bother calling "Rescue 911." It's too late for the paramedics. Boldly going where so very many celebs have gone before, William Shatner and his wife, actress Marcy Lafferty, are heading to divorce court after 20 years of marriage. And the split is that rarity of rarities in Hollywood: amicable.
Making a rare return to Washington to refly the flag of the Reagan Revolution, Ronald Reagan accused President Clinton and the Democrats of stealing his ideas while trying to discredit his record.
The very sight of the Capitol, "bulging with new tax revenues," made him instinctively reach for his veto pen, he said in a nostalgic speech to a huge audience of Reagan loyalists.
What brought the former president back Thursday night was a $1,000-a-plate Republican Party dinner - attended by 2,300 and expected to raise $5 million - and a chance to observe "the 44th anniversary of my 39th birthday."
On Sunday, five years out of office, he turns 83.
Reagan kidded about his age, but he showed it, too. He spoke more softly and slowly than when he was president. His voice cracked. He walked to the rostrum stiffly.
Celebrating with him were ideological soulmate Margaret Thatcher, the "iron lady" who is former prime minister of Britain, and wife Nancy Reagan, his lady in red.
Gwendolyn Brooks, 77, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and author who has more than 70 honorary doctorates and awards to her name, has been awarded yet another accolade.
She will deliver the 1994 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, which Sheldon Hackney, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, called "the highest award the United States government gives for distinguished intellectual achievement in the humanities."
Brooks will deliver the lecture, which is sponsored by the endowment and carries a $10,000 honorarium, on May 4 at the Kennedy Center in Washington and again on May 11 at Chicago State University in Chicago, where she is a writer-in-residence.
