Hollywood stars Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are celebrating after the actress gave birth to their first child - a week earlier than expected, according to U.S. reports.

The Mulholland Dr. star, 38, gave birth early on Thursday morning at a hospital in Los Angeles with Schreiber by her side, although the couple has not revealed the sex of the baby, reports Life & Style magazine.

A source says, "Naomi was planning on giving birth next week - her due date was early August - but since she insisted on delivering naturally, she knew there was a chance she would have the baby before the due date. That's what wound up happening.

"This is a dream come true for both of them and they've done everything in their power to make it as special as possible, right down to staying in the dark about the baby's sex right up until Naomi gave birth."

Watts is said to be resting comfortably in the hospital, close to her Brentwood, California mansion.

Nicole Richie has been speaking about her rehab nightmare after she became hooked on heroin at 13.

The hollywood "It girl" described how she knew she was addicted from the first time she tried the drug.

In an interview with Marie Claire she said: "I can remember the first time I tried it as a teenager-there was a lot of vomiting. But your body becomes physically dependent on it right away."

During her parents hostile divorce Nicole turned to heroin as an escape and soon become an addict.

After discovering the extent of the problem she was admitted into a rehab designed especially for teenagers.

"They didn't want me to quit cold turkey becuase I could have had a seizure so they gave me medication to come off it," she says looking back.

"Anyone who goes to rehab will say that they don't remember their first week or two becuase your body just goes through the shock of coming off whatever you were on." However this was nothing out of the ordinary for Hollywood and Nicole describes how there are even different types of rehab to chose from.

"There are prison ones and hotel ones, I was in under 18 rehab," she says.

The stunning actress, who is dating Justin Timberlake, is not prepared to flash her flesh on film and admits she has been overlooked for roles because of her no nudity stance.

Jessica said: "I'm sure I've lost some roles because I don't do it. The other day I read a script that required some nudity, something topless. It's probably going to be a great movie but I just don't want to do it."

Although the 25-year-old actress refuses to bare her curves, she is happy to be thought of as a sex symbol.

Jessica - who starred in the remake of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'The Illusionist' - said: "It's extremely flattering to be thought of in that way. It's nice to be wanted and desired, you think, 'I'm being accepted as a woman now.' That's kind of cool."

Jessica was recently ranked number one in Stuff magazine's 100 Sexiest Women 2007.

The Hollywood beauty reportedly called time on the couple's two-and-a-half year romance during an emotional telephone conversation, in which she told the movie producer she "didn't love him anymore".

After delivering the heart-breaking news last weekend, Jessica, 26, allegedly sent an aide to the Los Angeles home the couple shared to help Cash, 28, pack up his belongings and make sure he moved out.

A source told America's Us Weekly magazine: "The break-up happened almost out of nowhere. Cash thinks there could be another guy involved but doesn't know - he's totally devastated. But it was all her."

The pair met on the set of the first 'Fantastic Four' film in 2005, in which Jessica starred and Cash worked as a director's assistant, and their romance quickly blossomed.
