Hey, y'all! A lot has happened since Britney Spears asked her celebrity obstetrician, "Doc, if you cut this thing outta my belly right now, can I pleasepleaseplease have a smoke? Yes? Slice me up like a cantaloupe, Dr. Huxtable!" and delivered Preston Michael Spears Federline into the world via C-section. But before we dive into a brief round-up, we need to discuss something: In nearly all accounts, the baby has been identified as a "boy." Given that the newborn will grow up in a highly unstable half-showbiz/half-background-dancing household, aren't we placing enormous, undue pressure on the tyke by assigning him a traditional gender identity at this early stage? Let's allow the poor child develop an identity of its own; young Preston has enough challenges ahead of him without the public's interference with his development. On to the round-up, where blogs celebrate the happy occasion:

· American Idle flips off US Weekly, posts an exclusive first photo of little PMS-F. No wonder they needed a C-section; that fedora and bottle of Jack would've been hell on Britney's birth canal.

· "Also, to that bitch ass Justin Timberlake: Watch yo back, playa. I ain't forgot how you poked me. That's all I gotta say about that." Blagg Blogg claims a world exclusive on the baby's first words.

· On the Official Blog of Fetus Spears, 'Lil Presty expresses ambivalence about being born: "WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT WHAT GUYS CALL 'FRESH AIR' ACTUALLY TASTES AND SMELLS LIKE ASS. I PREFER MOMMY'S SMELLY UTERUS TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH....ALL YOU CAN EAT IN THE STOMACH."
