Wolverine and the X-Men (26 half-hour eps):
The story begins as an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, Professor X. The beaten heroes, including Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Nightcrawler, walk away from it all but then they are given a rare glimpse into the future, where they see a world in utter ruin ... ruled by giant destructive robots. They discover the world has spiraled out of control because the X-Men have given up. So now the most legendary of all X-Men, Wolverine, must take the lead on the ultimate mission -- to prevent the world's destruction -- while fending off enemies Magneto and The Brotherhood.

Actress Halle Berry has named her new-born daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry. The Oscar winner gave birth to her and her French-Canadian model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry's first child in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Watts and Schreiber Married?

From:

Naomi Watts has prompted speculation she and boyfriend Liev Schreiber have married in secret in Australia, by showing off a ring on her wedding finger. The pair have been in Watts' homeland while her beau shoots new movie Wolverine there. But Australian newspapers are speculating they took time out to tie the knot during Watts' trip down under to visit Schreiber - after a snapper caught the actress "wearing a large diamond ring and another band with smaller diamonds on her ring finger" as she arrived back in Los Angeles on Monday . The couple were forced to issue a statement denying they had married in June 2007 after Schreiber joked to reporters, "We are married. You got it first. Break the story!" This time around, Watts' representative is refusing to confirm or deny the reports, telling New York gossip column PageSix.com, "I don't comment on her personal life."
