Liev Schreiber rushed to the aid of a fan in the audience during his performance of Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge" in New York City last night.

According to a witness, a woman in the audience started screaming for help during the play. When the lights came up, it was revealed that her husband was slumped over in his seat.

That's when, according to the eye witness, "Liev Schreiber sprung to action." He came from behind the set of the stage and ran up to the seats of the man and woman to try and help as much as he could. There was a doctor in the audience (isn't there always?) and they provided medical attention until help arrived.

Paramedics confirmed they were called to the theater and the patient was transported. There was no immediate update on his condition, but we're told the man was conscious and responsive before he left.

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber can breath a little easier now -- their son has been released from hospital after suffering from respiratory issues.



Liev was noticeably absent from Tuesday's "Wolverine" premiere in L.A. -- and we now know he ditched the event to fly to New York to take care of his ailing son, People is reporting.

Liev's rep says the couple's young son was released today and is feeling better.

Liev Schreiber went berserk yesterday, when paparazzi got too close for his liking -- and violently shoved one and chased down the rest. Liev me alone!


The frustrated and limping star of the "Scream" flicks went off on a photog after walking up the stairs of Taverna Tony's, where he set down his baby's carrier, turned around and pushed the pap while screaming, "You f**king disgust me, it's a f**king child and I have one f**king foot!" It didn't end there though -- Schreiber then chased the rest of the photogs on scene, screaming at them and making them retreat to their cars.

When Schreiber and baby mama Naomi Watts emerged from the restaurant, they were taunted by paps, with one yelling at the actor, "You better sit down before I knock your ass out!" This time, Liev remained calm and got into the car, but Naomi gave the photog a piece of her mind -- with a finger.

UPDATE: It's a boy! With a normal name! Welcome to the world Alexander Pete Schrieber.

Capping what felt like the longest pregnancy in recorded history, Naomi Watts gave birth early Thursday morning, "Life & Style" is reporting.

Watts, along with proud papa Liev Schreiber, is said to be resting comfortably. The couple did not reveal the sex of the baby -- in fact, L&S says Naomi and Liev didn't know the sex right until the birth.

Salma's next!

She's not due until August, but it looks like 5'5" Naomi Watts is ready to drop the baby that ate L.A.!

Naomi was seen yesterday waddling in Los Angeles, looking like she's had just about enough of this seemingly endless pregnancy. Big baby daddy Liev "Huggy" Schreiber, 6'3", better be buffing up to be able to lift this tot!

Miss Watts is rumored to be up for the lead in the remake of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." The giant stork bringing this enormous baby is scary enough!

In the ready-to-pop-celeb contest, beautiful Naomi Watts is clearly leading the pack!

Naomi was seen strolling away from H. D. Buttercup at Helms Furniture District in Culver City, where she spent several hours perusing the sofas and loveseats -- on sale! Watts seems to be using an oversized fanny pack to support her spectacular gestating form.

Watts and her "Painted Veil" co-star/baby daddy Liev Schreiber are expecting their first child this August.

No more "View" means no more talking about celebrity scandals, and Rosie O'Donnell couldn't be happier. Writing in her blog this weekend, Rosie expressed relief at not having to cover Lindsay Lohan's weekend DUI arrest around coffee and danish with her fellow "View" cohosts:

lindsay lohan
dui again
relief i dont have 2 discuss it
on Tuesday

O'Donnell then goes on to reassure fans that she'll be back, somehow, some way, and this time, it'll be without Hasselbeck, Behar or Babwa!

the ?s will b back soon
but no more view ones
as we all try to move on
ok

Okay!

Liev Schreiber Raises Eyebrows

Naomi Watts baby daddy Liev Schreiber has fashion and beauty tips for President Bush? The "Omen" star told Air America host Rachel Maddow he thinks that he could help the president "be cooler. I think he's working the alpha-male thing a little too hard, and I think his eyebrows are getting stuck ... so then, when he wants to switch to a light note, it's kind of hard, because the mouth goes, but the eyebrows don't. You don't trust someone whose eyebrows don't move in unison with their mouth."

Perhaps they should go to the salon together?

Cannes: Big Directors Biggest Losers

A Romanian film called "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" beat out a bunch of seasoned vets yesterday to win the coveted Palme d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival. The cheery film, about 1980s communist Romania, beat out star directors Quentin Tarantino, Gus Van Sant, Wong Kar Wai and the Coen Brothers. C'est la vie! The French filmfest did award a special 60th Anniversary Prize to "My Own Private Idaho" director Gus Van Sant -- for his new film "Paranoid Park."

Party Favors...Lisa Ling Marries her McDreamy...Ciara Now Singer-Slash-Actress...

Oprah correspondent Lisa Ling married her dreamy doctor fiancé Paul Song this past weekend in Los Angeles reports People. The pair, who have been dating for about a year, married in front of more than 550 of their closest friends. ... Singer and Missy Elliot protégé Ciara will star in the film adaptation of the off-Broadway play "Mama, I Want to Sing." Proceeds from the film will benefit a non-profit education program that works to preserve the gospel arts.

Lindsay Lohan did a little partying with Britney last night in New York ... well, Lil' Britney, anyway.

TMZ spotted the shrink-wrapped Terra Jole leaving The Box last night in her "Oops" inspired red spandex suit, saying she had a "stupendous" night, just moments before LiLo left the club after a long night in the Apple. Also at the club last night was sextape-a-booty-licious Kim Kardashian, who made a one-day trip to New York.

Lohan hit up the Maxim Hot 100 party earlier in the evening and was spotted dining at La Esquina, where Liev Schrieber and preggers girlfriend Naomi Watts also grabbed some grub.

All this and more in today's mini-me edition of Star Catcher.

We mean Sean Lennon and first daughter Barbara Bush -- and they weren't so much hanging out as coming out of the Calvin Klein event moments apart. Still -- that's one bi-partisan invite list.

Also spotted were Mischa Barton, Liev Schreiber & Naomi Watts and Michelle Trachtenberg, but somehow we can't get over seeing those two famous heirs in the same place.

Which one has the most to live up to? Son of legendary peacenik John Lennon or daughter of pro-military president George W. Bush? Now that "Death of a President" has premiered, do they both have assassination nightmares?

We hope they spent the whole evening brokering a truce between the red and blue states, but we aren't counting on it.

The wave of horror movie remakes continues next week, when the 1976 classic 'The Omen' gets a makeover. The original film tells the story of Damien Thorn, born on June 6 at 6 a.m., who is switched at birth in Rome with the murdered infant of an American diplomat.

Liev Schreiber steps into the role of Robert Thorn, who doesn't tell his wife (played by Julia Stiles) that their biological baby died after child birth. He lets her believe Damien is their own flesh and blood. Little do they know, their child is actually the anti-Christ, destined to create hell on Earth.

Schreiber believes the remake is certaintly warranted and will still resonate with audiences, saying, "I think this film freaked so many people out in 1976 and I think that it will freak as many people out again in 2006, and that is because I think it does tap into something cultural."

Mia Farrow also stars in the film, taking on the role of Damien's creepy nanny and willing servant, Mrs. Baylock. This marks a vast departure from her role in Roman Polanski's demon-seed flick 'Rosemary's Baby,' where she played the unwitting mother of Satan's spawn.

The film, which premiered Wednesday night in New York, opens June 6 (the sixth day of the sixth month in the sixth year, 666, get it?).
