Sheryl Crow Adopts

Posted May 12th 2007 3:09AM by TMZ Staff

It used to be that all she wanted to do was have some fun, but yesterday Sheryl Crow announced that she adopted a 2-week-old boy from the United States. Crow named the child Wyatt, after her father. "We are enjoying some very private family time," Crow wrote to fans on her website.

Crow's rep told People magazine that she'll be taking some time off from touring -- to be a full-time mom. Crow most recently finished a rabble-rousing 11-city Stop Global Warming tour with "Inconvenient Truth" producer Laurie David.

More Trouble for "Hills" Jason

"Hills" bad boy Jason Wahler was charged yesterday in Seattle with assault, criminal trespass and underage drinking, after his arrest at a Seattle hotel on April 8. Local prosecutors want to hit Lauren Conrad's ex-BF with 10 days in jail, a $4,500 fine and chemical dependency treatment, according to Seattle attorney Ruth Bowman.

Wahler's already in hot water stemming from a slew of other arrests. He faces two charges in Greenville, North Carolina, for underage drinking and resisting arrest, and he's currently in rehab as part of a plea related to a September 2006 assault case.

Sacred Hollywood Spot to be Shuttered

TMZ has just learned that Morton's Restaurant, which hosts the biggest Academy Awards party each year, is set to become the West Coast branch of Manhattan's oh-so-exclusive Soho House Club. Nick Jones, the founder and CEO of The Soho House Group plans a $5 million dollar refurbishment of the spot, which will open as a private members club in 2008. And with it, a piece of Hollywood history will disappear.

Party Favors ... Leo Sued Over B-Ball Court ... Black Eyed Pea May Pay Small Fee

Leo DiCaprio's neighbors filed a suit against the "Titanic" star over his backyard basketball court. Seems his neighbors believe that Leo "maliciously" crossed onto their property to erect the court back in 2004, destabilizing their deck and pool. ... Black Eyed Peas rapper Taboo is facing a fine for being found by LAPD with a small amount of marijuana on him back in March. At most, the rapper-real name Jaime Luis Gomez will face a $200 fine and no jail time.

2. I for one am glad it is a child from the USA. Congrats again!!!

Throw Wahler a$$ in jail and leave him there for a while. Maybe he'll learn something.

3. If this is so 'private', why are trying to generate public publicity.

Hypocrite!!

PS: wondering if she's use just one square of toilet paper to wipe the baby's ass with! LMAO!!!

4. #1: Maybe Sheryl Crowe cannot have children of her own! Did you ever stop to think about that??!! You shouldn't judge others when you don't know their situation!

5. I'm also happy she adopted a child from the US. I don't know why someone would say she just didn't want to get fat. She's not married & never has so I think her age had something to do with it since she's 45. Is she suppose to wait another 5 yrs in case she will meet a future husband, I don't think so.

6. Being a birthmother myself, I wonder just how much money was paid for the child. It's sad that babies are being purchased instead of being given birth to, by women who are quite capable of having one on their own.

The life-long trauma and sadness of a birthmother who has lost her child to adoption is unending.

Adoption leaves a permanent and uneraseable scar on a birthmother's heart. It's something we deal with every day of our lives.

7. Sheryl's kid better get used to only using one square of toilet paper after taking a dump. It's gonna be rough! poor kid.

8. CONGRATULATIONS, SHERYL! You've said for years that you'd wanted to be a mom, and I am happy that you finally are. Wyatt is a fortunate child and will be greatly loved by you and your entire family and all of your friends. I'm sure that he's beautiful as well!

9. I am glad you could get a baby. People she fought breast cancer she can't have a baby. And if she finally got to get a baby good for her, Do not judge.

10. With Sheryl's breast cancer, she is not a candidate to become pregnant because those kinds of tumors feed off Estrogen, and a pregnancy will take her out of remission and the cancer will return because of the high levels of Estrogen while pregnant.

11. Sheryl is 45 yrs old and a cancer survivor, Im glad she has a baby, shes wanted one for a while, and she didn't put it on the news, she posted it on her website, so her fans would know first., Im also glad she adopted from the USA.

12. Congrats on the new baby!
It's wonderful that you chose a baby from the United States also. Way to go all around!

13. Who cares where the child is from? Have to laugh at some people who think it's probably more 'patriotic' to adopt an American-born child. (Our maniac Prez supporters, no doubt.)

Sheryl will make an excellent mother.

14. 5. FLBMom, get therapy if you're so harmed.

And stop being jealous of Sheryl Crow. If anything, she's someone you should admire for adopting an unwanted child and one that'll undoubtedly have far more advantages than what the birth mother could have provided. That's something to celebrate, not criticize.
Besides, YOU have no idea what Sheryl paid to adopt this baby.

15. Congratulations and best wishes. You will be a great mother.
