Births, Deaths, and Marriages is a column about what's happening to persons of interest in Gawker society. Send us your tips about breakups, hookups, knock-ups, and everything else that completes the circle of media-life. Today: one oddly-named celeb infant, one knockup, one breakup, and rabid right-wingers in luv:

  • Births: Spiderman actor Toby Maguire's wife? Knocked up again. Whoops, we mean "with child." Congrats! [US Weekly]
    Of course, you already heard about "singers" Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's oddly-named baby, Bronx Mowgli Wentz.
  • Deaths: Donald Finkel, a respected American poet "whose work teemed with curious juxtapositions" [NYT], and Irving Gertz. Getz wrote the music—"often uncredited" for monster movies, including The Incredible Shrinking Man, It Came From Outer Space, and The Thing That Couldn’t Die. [NYT]
  • Marriages: Fox News gal Margaret Hoover ("great-granddaughter of President Herbert Hoover") just got engaged to former Giuliani speechwriter John P. Avlon. Sounds like quite the match. [P6]
  • Divorces: Jodi Sweetin—Full House child star and soon-to-be meth addiction memoirist—is divorcing her second husband. Bummer. [US Weekly]
