"She's four months pregnant, and she's having a girl," Janet Dearmas of Estefan Enterprises Inc. said Friday. "She's due the first week of December."
The 36-year-old Cuban-born singer has been trying to get pregnant since recovering from a March 1990 tour bus crash in which she broke her back.
Estefan's husband, Emilio, is also her manager.
Sioux City, Iowa, has one thing to say to David Letterman: Don't even think about it.
The CBS "Late Show" host has been hinting recently he might find another "home office."
"We've made David Letterman," City Manager Hank Sinda said Thursday. "Obviously, he wouldn't be as big as he is without Sioux City."
No local station picked up Letterman's show when it switched from NBC to CBS last August. In mock tribute, Letterman named Sioux City his home office, the fictitious place where his Top 10 list originates.
City leaders then designated the abandoned and crumbling old City Hall building the Home Office, erecting a big sign and reserving a parking space for Letterman. Local companies sent him everything from jeans to honey.
Will Sioux City try to persuade him to stay?
"Well, gee, we'll have to think about that," Sinda said. "Maybe we could give him City Hall. Of course, it is condemned."
More with a whimper than a bang, the celebrated breakup of Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds is now official.
Reynolds, star of the TV series "Evening Shade," slipped into a Stuart, Fla., courthouse through a back door Wednesday and ended the marriage. He gets the $4 million ranch in nearby Jupiter, Fla., and a $2 million waterfront mansion.
Anderson, who appeared on the show "Nurses," gets $2 million over five years to pay for her new home. She also gets a $500,000 vacation home in North Carolina and $15,000 a month in child support for their adopted son.
Custody of their son, Quinton, and the matter of who pays attorneys' fees will be settled in California.
Cab Calloway, 86, the scat-singing big band legend, has suffered a severe stroke.
"This is a massive one," his wife of 49 years, Nuffie, told the New York Daily News. "Both his neurosurgeons told me, `Nuffie, he's coming to the end of the road.' "
