Randy Bresnik, 42, will not be around for the birth of his daughter. But at least he has a good excuse -- he's in space. Bresnik is on the space team currently at the International Space Station, where he is hauling cargo from the ship to the station. His wife Rebecca is set to give birth to their second child today.
Luckily, ol' NASA has been kind enough to allow Bresnik to call and check in periodically on his wife. "I think like most parents, I would prefer to be there for the birth," Bresnik said in an interview with the space agency. "But you know, we don't pick this timing and so it's to be a bit disappointing not to see her in person right when she enters the world."
This little girl is actually a miracle, as ABC reports that the Bresnik's didn't think Rebecca could even get pregnant. They found out they were wrong right after adopting son Wyatt last year. "We're fortunate enough to witness the miracle of adoption as well as the miracle of child birth all in one year," Bresnik said. "We're just amazingly blessed."

Kristen Stewart. Like the stock market, how to hang a "floating" shelf and chalupas, her popularity is something we'll never understand. We don't see the appeal of Kristin Stewart the Actress, of Kristin Stewart the Sex Symbol or Kristin Stewart the Stoner. Today, "
Did you see "Twilight?" Because I sat through half of it before giving up, and I can honestly say that this Shaker chair (left) is a far more skilled actor than Kristen Stewart. As Bella, Stewart is a blank-faced dish towel, a hollow chasm bereft of emotion. Rather than channel any feeling through her characters, she resorts to annoying facial tics -- like chewing on her lip and blinking a zillion times.






The holidays are all about spending time and spreading cheer with your family and loved ones. But sadly you can't pick your family, and awkward moments and off-the-wall comments are almost expected from at least one relative. (You have seen Christmas movies before, right?)
