Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon parents of twins

MusicNEW YORK (AP) -

-Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary with another milestone -- becoming parents to a baby girl and boy. Carey's representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the births to The Associated Press. The singing superstar gave birth S aturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT (1607 GMT) at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Berger says the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces (2.35 kilograms), and was 18 inches (45.7 centimeters) tall; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces (2.44 kilograms), and was 19 inches (48.3 centimeters). Berger says the couple has not named the children yet. Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said the 41-year-old Carey, who had gone through false labor, was calm, thinking that it was another false alarm. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Cannon was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was guided to the maternity ward by a nurse. 'It was like right out of an 'I Love Lucy' skit,' said Berger, referring to the 1950s TV comedy. Berger says they were listening to Carey's 'We Belong Together' after the children were born. The couple are expected to renew their wedding vows on Sunday"

White House releases Obama birth certificate - Yahoo! News

On

Wednesday morning

the WHITE HOUSE

released the president's long

form birth certificate (pdf) in an attempt to put

'birther' questions to rest.

'The President believed the

distraction over his birth certificate wasn't good

for the country.

It may have been good politics

and good T.V., but it was bad for the

American people and

distracting from

the many challenges

we face as a country,' White House Communications

Director Dan Pfeiffer

said in a statement.

The president had released his certificate of live birth in 2008,

but many 'birthers'

said the absence of a

long form birth certificate prompted questions about

Obama's birthplace of Hawaii.

In recent weeks

potential GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump

has brought birther

questions into the forefront of the media.

At a time of great consequence

for this country--

when we should be debating how

we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices,

and bring stability to the Middle East,

Washington, DC,

was once again distracted by a fake issue,' Pfeiffer said.

'The President's hope is that with this

step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to

the American people

and the future of the country.'"
