"Shark" star JERI RYAN and her husband, French chef CHRISTOPHE EME, welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named GISELE EME, on Sunday, according to People.
"Shark," starring James Woods as former defense attorney turned prosecutor Sebastian Stark, was given one of the best time periods of any new show of the 2006 fall TV season. It airs on Thursday nights at 10 p.m., following "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS' No. 1-rated drama.
"Shark" follows the personal and professional life of Sebastian Stark, a confident defense attorney who brings his unconventional techniques to the prosecutor's office. After getting a not guilty verdict for a wealthy client who then kills his wife, Stark's faith in the legal system is shaken. As a result, he takes down his shingle as a defense attorney and goes to work as a prosecutor.
From executive producer Brian Grazer ("24," 'A Beautiful Mind') comes the new CBS legal drama, "Shark," which follows the personal and professional life of Sebastian Stark, a confident defense attorney who brings his unconventional techniques to the prosecutor's office. After getting a not guilty verdict for a wealthy client who then kills his wife, Stark's faith is shaken. As a result, he takes down his shingle as a defense attorney and goes to work as a prosecutor.
As the new head of the L.A. District Attorney's high-profile crime unit, Stark is forced to work with his former nemesis, District Attorney Jessica Devlin, while leading a team of young prosecutors, to whom he teaches his underhanded methods. At the same time, Stark must balance his personal life, which includes his ex-wife and 16-year-old daughter, Julie.
As the No. 1 network, CBS doesn't have many fixes to make to its fall schedule, but there are a few timeslots where new programs will be added, with JAMES WOODS, STANLEY TUCCI, SKEET ULRICH, RAY LIOTTA, VIRGINIA MADSEN and JOE PANTOLIANO adding their star power in several new shows.
Woods is set to headline the legal hour-long series "Shark," also starring JERI RYAN. Pantoliano, who was "The Handler" in 2003, returns to CBS in "Waterfront," playing a not on the up-and-up mayor (mid-season); Ulrich stars in the apocalyptic drama "Jericho;" and Madsen and Liotta play career criminals in "Smith."
It is senior year when "The O.C." returns for its third season on FOX, Thursday, Sept. 8 at 8 p.m., and Executive Producer JOSH SCHWARTZ promises there will be a wedding, a funeral and a bar mitzvah, there will be some old faces returning and some exciting new characters.
QUESTION: How does ADAM BRODY and RACHEL BILSON's real-life relationship affect the show? Do the writers have to take that into consideration?
10) KOBE CASE CLOSED - Arrested and charged with rape in July of 2003 for allegedly forcing himself on a 19-year-old hotel clerk while in Colorado, L.A. Lakers star KOBE BRYANT's preliminary hearings became a media circus. If convicted of one count of sexual assault, he could have faced a maximum sentence of life in prison and a fine of up to $750,000. But the charges against Kobe were dropped in September when the accuser told the prosecution she would no longer participate in the case. Speculation as to why included the fact that her name had been released to the public and a ruling that her sexual behavior before and after the incident could be admissible in court. In response to the dismissal, Kobe issued a statement apologizing to the victim, yet maintained his innocence: "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter." A civil suit against Bryant is still pending, and the young woman is expected to testify in that case.
9) NICKY HILTON'S VEGAS WEDDING - A party weekend in Vegas in August turned to marriage for PARIS' li'l sis, NICKY, now 21, when she married old flame TODD ANDREW MEISTER, 33, at a Vegas wedding chapel. The Hilton sisters were in town for a Stuff magazine party at the Palms Casino Resort where they were joined by Todd and Paris' "Simple Life" co-star, NICOLE RICHIE, for dinner late Saturday night. Dinner led to an after-party at the Palms' Little Buddha and, then, apparently to matrimony, as Paris and pal BIJOU PHILLIPS reportedly joined the couple at the impromptu, early morning ceremony just a few hours later. The ET Insider was in the limo, inside their hotel room and at Caesars Palace just hours before the wedding with Nicky, Paris, Bijou, TARA REID, KIMBERLY STEWART and "That 70's Show"'s DANNY MASTERSON. We caught up with the newlyweds after they flew back to L.A. on Sunday, and, although tired from the journey, they looked very much in love. "We are very, very happy," they commented. Later, KATHY and RICK HILTON told ET they were delighted with the marriage, announcing, "Todd exudes a great warmth and personality. He is a longtime friend of the family and is loved by all of us. He is a Harvard graduate and a successful businessman and Kathy and I welcome him to our family. Kathy would have loved to plan a formal wedding, yet Nicky opted for a small quiet ceremony." Alas, three months later, the couple reportedly had the marriage annulled and remain on good terms.
Embarrassing and occasionally lurid details from "Star Trek: Voyager" star JERI RYAN's split with Illinois Republican and U.S. Senate candidate JACK RYAN are now public. Inside several hundred pages of divorce and child visitation documents are allegations by Jeri that she was pressured by her ex-husband to engage in intimate acts with him at clubs while others watched. The court papers were originally filed in 1999, but were just released Monday by a California Superior Court judge.
Tonight on ET, Jack responds to the shocking claims as we dig deeper into the Ryan marriage.

When contacted by ET for comment, a spokesperson for the actress released this statement: "Jeri's statement can be found in the original court documents and the truth has not changed in the last five years. We will not be releasing any additional statements, but Jeri does wish Jack the best of luck in his Senate campaign."
