Peter Sarsgaard

Maggie Gyllenhaal gave birth to a baby girl on April 19! It's the second daughter for her and husband Peter Sarsgaard, and they named the little one Gloria Ray.

Maggie's pregnancy news was announced in November and in the following months she showed off her baby bump during walks near her Brooklyn home. She hasn't debuted the family's new addition just yet, but Peter was spotted out picking up treats at their neighbourhood store Bierkraft last weekend. Congrats to the new family of four!

Maggie Gyllenhaal is pregnant with her second child! Sources have confirmed to Us Weekly that the actress is expecting baby number two with her husband, Peter Sarsgaard. According to conflicting reports, Maggie could be either four or six months along. The acting couple also have a 6-year-old daughter, Ramona. Last Friday the cute family were spotted out together at a NYC park, where Maggie covered up her baby bump with an oversized coat. And it seems as though Maggie still has a busy schedule ahead: she stars opposite Hugh Dancy in Hysteria, and has several projects in pre- and post-production stages. Congrats to Maggie, Peter and their growing family!

It's a bad sign when the opening sequence of a movie not only fails to grab your attention, but has your eyelids drooping before you even meet the main character. Such is the case for Green Lantern, and the frustratingly dull first few minutes set the tone for rest of the film, which is based on the popular comic book series.

Ryan Reynolds is the actor throwing his hat into the superhero ring this time, and he's actually a great choice. With charisma coming out of his ears and a perfectly chiselled body, Reynolds easily fits the bill as Hal Jordan, a self-assured test pilot with a taste for adrenaline. Hal's fearlessness eventually makes him a candidate for the Green Lantern Corps., a league of alien warriors that keep the peace amongst the galaxies. Seemingly out of nowhere, Hal is absorbed by a large green bubble and transported to a site where a dying alien gives him a ring that signifies his place as a Green Lantern (and provides Hal with a slick CG suit and superpowers in spades). If you think the green bubbles and purple aliens sound silly, it only gets more convoluted from there.

Ryan Reynolds suited up for the LA premiere of his new blockbuster Green Lantern at Grauman’s Chinese Theater today. He was joined on the black carpet by his onscreen leading lady Blake Lively, who subtly showed her legs in an embellished white gown with a sheer skirt and wore her hair in intricate braids. Blake, who went brunette for her role as Carol Ferris, also made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this week to promote the film. Peter Sarsgaard, who is practically unrecognisable in his role as villain Hector Hammond, also smiled for fans and cameras at the premiere. Ryan told the LA Times, “This is the movie the fans want to see. We are going to deliver.” We’ll get to see Ryan in the green suit when the movie opens in Australia on August 4.

Blake Lively broke from shooting the final episodes of this season for Gossip Girl and threw on a trench coat for a night out in Brooklyn on Thursday. She joined theatre-lovers Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, who live in the borough and are currently starring in Checkhov's Three Sisters, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's 2011 Gala. The actors gathered along with Claire Danes, Hugh Dancy and Hugh Jackman to celebrate Geoffrey Rush, the current star of BAM's Diary of a Madman production. Geoffrey is also coming off an incredible awards season, having been nominated for an Oscar for his role in The King's Speech. Blake, meanwhile, is getting used to being back in the US after a trip away to Paris, where she was fêted once again for being the new face of Chanel's Mademoiselle handbags — check out some behind-the-scenes shots from her shoot with Karl Lagerfeld.

We've been waiting forever to see Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern (the EW cover doesn't count) and the trailer gives us a nice reward: before he dons the green suit, he's practically naked. After you see the superhero body, we get a taste of Green Lantern (aka Hal Jordan)'s backstory: he's a test pilot, he's a ladies' man, and he's got a bossy co-pilot (courtesy of a brunette Blake Lively). He quips that when he's flying, "anything's possible"—and that's when the limits of possibility are stretched beyond his imagination. A dying alien entrusts a magic ring to Hal, instilling the responsibility of defending a universe he never knew existed. Though Hal is skeptical about his ability to be a superhero, his powers are as undeniable as Peter Sarsgaard's delightfully hideous villain look. The movie promises pure fantastical fun, and there's no muting the comic book origins in this one. It only took two views to get me officially pumped, so watch for yourself after the jump.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were together in San Diego on Saturday to appear at Comic-Con to promote The Green Lantern with their co-star Peter Sarsgaard. Ryan still appeared to be in top superhero shape, and Blake made quite an impression in a low-cut top. Blake is back to focusing on her big screen work after a few weeks in NYC and Paris working on the next season of Gossip Girl. She and Ryan previewed a clip from their blockbuster, and he shared about his marriage to fellow action star Scarlett Johansson—check out our earlier report from the scene!
