Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers Debut Their Baby Girl Harper—See the Adorable Pic!

How precious is this photo?!

Nearly one month after announcing the happy news that Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers have welcomed a baby girl into the world, the gorgeous couple revealed their first photo of the adorable addition to their little family.

Chambers posted a Flashback Friday photo late last week to share one of their happy snapshots from a photo shoot they did with little Harper, that shows the new parents flashing huge smiles at each other while holding their sweet daughter in their arms.

She captioned the pic, "#fbf to two weeks ago when the amazing @johnrussophoto came over to meet Harper and captured this gem. So leeetle! Can't believe she's almost a month old."

Chambers was slightly overdue when the baby arrived in early December, as she'd told herInstagram followers at the time that she was "#severaldayslate." She also posted an adorable photo of their puppy swaddled in a blanket to show that Hammer was practicing for her arrival. "In the absence of baby, husband has taken to swaddling the Arch. Practice makes perfect," she wrote.

Hammer and Chambers were introduced through the actor's friend, artist Tyler Ramsey. "When we finally got together, Armie really wanted to get married," Chambers told Town & Country in 2012.

"He sat me down and said, 'Look, we don't have to do this. We could just go our own ways, and then one day you'll be 40 and divorced and we'll run into each other, and we'll laugh and go out to dinner and have this same connection, and we'll wonder why we wasted all of that time. Or we could just do it now and enjoy the ride.'"

And now they can enjoy the new ride of parenthood together. So sweet!

Giada de Laurentiis' Husband, Todd Thompson, Files for Divorce After Split Announcement: Get the Details

Giada de Laurentiis' Husband, Todd Thompson, Files for Divorce After Split Announcement: Get the Details

Giada de Laurentiis's marriage is now on its way to being officially over.

The celeb chef and restaurateur's husband, Todd Thompsonn, filed for divorce Tuesday, less than 24 hours after she revealed that they had been separated for months.

To be exact, according to the petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, their date of separation was July 15 after 11 years and two months of marriage.

Thompson, who has not commented separately on the split, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakdown of their union. The fashion designer has also asked that the court not have the jurisdiction to award his future ex-wife spousal support, noting that the division of their assets is to be determined.

He and De Laurentiis tied the knot on May 25, 2003, and are parents to 6-year-old daughterJade Marie De Laurentiis Thompson.

"After an amicable separation since July, Todd and I have decided to end our marriage," De Laurentiis wrote on Facebook yesterday. "Although our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and overwhelming desire for our family's happiness has given us the strength to move forward on separate, yet always connected paths.

"Todd and I share a beautiful daughter together," the Giada at Home host continued, "and a lifetime of great memories that we both treasure more than anything. We are so thankful for our friends and family, and really appreciate the support in this time of change."

In 2009, De Laurentiis—who despite having been a celebrity tastemaker for years just opened up her first restaurant, GIADA, in Las Vegas—talked to Redbook about the ever-shifting dynamic between her and Thompson, whom she met when she was 19.

"In the beginning, I was there to help him in his career," the Food Network star recalled. "Now he's where he wants to be, and he helps me in mine. I think it's such a wonderful evolution of a relationship. And it's so cool how we can kind of divvy it up. You know, most men want to be in the limelight and have the woman take care of them. You have to balance that.

"There have to be times where it's about Todd, when I'm Todd's wife and that's just who I am at that moment. And then there are times when it's about me."

The secret to success in the Supreme Court revealed: Researchers say lawyers who DON'T have a masculine voice are more likely to win

Men who sound very masculine are less likely to win a US Supreme Court case than their gentler sounding peers, a new study has found.

Researchers analysed recording of laywer's voices and then asked volunteers to rank them.

They found that just one trait emerged as an indicator of how they would do - how masculine their voice was.

The team led by linguist Alan Yu of the University of Chicago and legal theorist Daniel Chen of ETH Zurich in Switzerland collected 60 recordings of male lawyers in the Supreme Court making the traditional opening statement: 'Mister Chief Justice, may it please the court'. 

200 volunteers rated these clips for how masculine they thought the speaker was, as well as how attractive, confident, intelligent, trustworthy and educated they perceived the voice to be.

After accounting for the age and experience of the lawyers, statistical analysis showed that only one of the traits could predict the court outcome.
