Ryan Phillippe: I'll 'Gladly' Take a DNA Test
Ryan Phillippe will "gladly" take a DNA test to determine if he's the baby daddy of a woman he had been seeing ... this according to sources directly connected to Ryan.
We're told Ryan will not submit to the DNA test until the baby is born. There are prenatal paternity tests, but there's a slight risk of miscarriage and Ryan does not want to take the chance.
Our sources say Ryan will step up and provide support for Alexis Knapp's unborn baby, provided it is indeed his.
Although there are reports Ryan and Alexis were boyfriend/girlfriend, we're told that was never the case. They had dated for a while but it was never serious.
The baby is due in June.

Huckabee Rips Natalie Portman Over Pregnancy
Fox News host Mike Huckabee claims Oscar winner Natalie Portman is a bad role model for America -- all because she got knocked up before marriage.
Huckabee went on a radio show Monday and said, "One of the most troubling things is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet that boasts of, hey look, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having children and they're doing just fine."
Portman is engaged to her baby daddy -- co-star Benjamin Millepied.
Huckabee -- a Republican who could make a run for the White House -- added, "There aren't really a lot of single moms out there that are making millions of dollars each year by being in a movie"
"I think it gives a distorted image that not everybody hires nannies and caretakers and nurses. Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and would not get healthcare."
So far, Portman has yet to respond.

Ochocinco -- I Did NOT Impregnate My Twitter Fan
Chad Ochocinco loves messing with his Twitter fans ... but the NFL superstar claims he NEVER messed around with a woman who told a Philly radio station she's pregnant with his baby.
The woman -- who called herself Paige -- went on the air Tuesday claiming she and Chad had a secret affair and she is now 3 months pregnant with his kid.
But sources close to Chad -- who's engaged to "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada -- tell us Ochocinco is adamant the woman is merely giving birth to a BS rumor ... because the two have never, ever met in person.
We're told Ocho exchanged some Twitter messages with the woman more than a year ago ... but insists nothing ever came from it.
When we called Ocho to ask about the story -- he simply told us, "Child, please."

Nicole and Keith: Why We Chose USA for Our Baby
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban could have hired a surrogate in Australia -- and it probably would have been easier for them -- but they chose the US of A because they're just not as big here.
Sources directly connected with the birth of Faith tell TMZ ... Nicole and Keith were frank about their choice -- that in Australia they live in a fishbowl and they can't do anything on the down low.
The couple told people connected with the birth that the U.S. is so "entertainment oriented," they're just two of many celebs and aren't scrutinized the way they are in Australia ... making it a lot easier to have the baby without anyone noticing.
And it worked. Before TMZ broke the story, we called some of Nicole's reps, who were totally unaware she had hired a surrogate who had given birth.

We're told the baby is home.
Yes, Nicole and Keith were both at the Golden Globes last night.
UPDATE: Keith and Nicole just released a statement to TMZ saying, "Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret.
