Constantine Maroulis and Angel Reed
Constantine Maroulis has someone new to idolize him – his brand-new baby girl.
The American Idol alum, 35, and Angel Reed welcomed their first child, Malena James, on Thursday at 11:06 p.m. She weighed 6 lbs., 11 oz., and measured 19 inches long.
"Sometimes Christmas comes early and we're so lucky to get the greatest gift a few days early," Maroulis tells PEOPLE. "Angel and I are thrilled to welcome our perfect baby girl into the world today. Mom and baby are healthy and I couldn't be more excited to ring in 2011 this way."
The new parents met last year while they were starring in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages.
Maroulis shared with PEOPLE his excitement over impending fatherhood last July.
"It's a beautiful thing," he said at the time. In preparation for being a dad, he said he was, "just living every day right now, trying to do good work and provide for family long term – so I'm looking forward to the road ahead, definitely."
Maroulis is currently reprising his Tony-nominated role as rocker Drew in the Rock of Ages national tour.
Camille Grammer and Kyle Richards
On Thursday night's episode of the Bravo series, fellow Housewife Taylor Armstrong played hostess, throwing a lavish flapper-themed bash. Despite uncertainty over whether Grammer would once again collide with Kyle Richards – or if the two ladies would show at all – no one was roaring at each other at the Roaring Twenties affair.
"From this night on, I want to put it all behind us," Grammer says in the episode.
And while not all the castmates were buying into their kiss-and-make-up routine, Grammer says she's done with the dramatics – a change of pace from her earlier statement that she had "no interest in making amends with Kyle," whom she described as "awful and vile."
"I always take the high road – I try," she says. "That's my motto here."
And when Richards approached Grammer at the party, there was no mention of the text message Grammer sent her before the run-in. In the message, Richards said Grammer put the breaks on their friendship and her business relationship with Kyle's husband, Mauricio Umansky, a high-end realtor.
Although Richards said she would "never be able to trust [Grammer] again" prior to the party, she later offered up an analogy to explain their rocky relationship.
"If we were being set up, we would never go on a date again," Richards says. "But since we're not on a date, we can give it another shot."
Lindsay Lohan
Looks like somebody had a change of heart.
Dawn Holland – the former Betty Ford Center staffer Lindsay Lohan allegedly assaulted – is dropping her criminal complaint against the starlet, reports TMZ.com.
Lohan, 24, was under police investigation for battery against the former rehab worker, who was fired by the clinic for violating confidentiality guidelines. But Holland's lawyer, Keith Davidson, says no further action will be taken because "a crime has quite simply not been committed by Ms. Lohan."
"Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution," Davidson says.
Davidson says Holland – who alleged that Lohan was "out of control" earlier this week, causing a sprain in her right arm and hand – sympathizes with Lohan. The two share a similar struggle: They're both recovering addicts.
Davidson adds that Holland does not want "in any way shape or form to do anything that would violate Lindsay's probation or cause an arrest."
