Cohn, Vargas welcome new baby boy to family
ABC newswoman Elizabeth Vargas and her husband, singer Marc Cohn, are parents again, of another boy.

Vargas and the baby, named Samuel Wyatt, are “doing incredible,” said ABC representative Alyssa Apple.

Vargas and Cohn's other son is 3-year-old Zachary.

Cohn has two children from a previous marriage.

In May, Vargas, 43, stepped down as the co-anchor of ABC's “World News Tonight” to take maternity leave.

Charles Gibson became the sole anchor, replacing Vargas and Bob Woodruff, who was injured in Iraq earlier in the year.

Depp goes from pirate to murderous barber

Johnny Depp is reuniting with director Tim Burton (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) to play the title role in a film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical “Sweeney Todd,” about a 19th-century barber seeking bloody revenge over his wrongful imprisonment.

The star of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,” this year's biggest hit with a domestic gross of $400 million, is expected to do his own singing, said Marvin Levy, spokesman for DreamWorks, which is co-producing “Sweeney Todd” with Warner Bros.

Gentry aims for prison after shooting pet bear

Troy Lee Gentry, of the country singing duo Montgomery Gentry, has been accused of killing a tame black bear that federal officials say he tagged as killed in the wild.

Gentry, 39, of Franklin, Tenn., and Lee Marvin Greenly, 46, of Sandstone, appeared Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson in connection with a sealed indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Minneapolis.

Authorities allege that Gentry purchased the bear from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide, then killed it with a bow and arrow in an enclosed pen on Greenly's property in October 2004.

You might be a redneck if you're the lucky winner

Expecting a baby around Labor Day weekend? That bundle of joy could mean big bucks if your timing is right.

CMT will award $50,000 to the mother of the first baby born in America during the premiere of Jeff Foxworthy's new sketch comedy series, “Foxworthy's Big Night Out,” on Sept. 1.

The winner will be the earliest delivery during the local premiere airtime.

In the event of a tie, a random drawing will be conducted, the network announced Monday.
