ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has
died from heart failure. The man who made famous the “seven words you
can never say on television” passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint
John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.
Carlin,
who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went
into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.
Carlin
has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie
roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he
celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his
last HBO special in March, “It’s Bad for Ya.”

There is a new baby in the Spears clan! Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed a baby girl Thursday morning.
PEOPLE confirms exclusively that the baby was named Maddie Briann.
“Just the family was there,” says a source about the birth
around 9:30 a.m. at a hospital in Mississippi, near her Louisiana
hometown. “Everyone is healthy and happy.”
Jamie Lynn’s sister Britney, father Jamie and brother Bryan flew in Wednesday to be with her for the birth; her mother Lynne had been with her helping her get ready for the baby.
Since announcing her pregnancy
in December, Britney’s little sister has retreated from the bright
lights of Hollywood, opting for the comforts of her hometown of
Kentwood, La.
With her Nickelodeon show Zoey 101 already ended, Jamie Lynn went home to prepare for the birth of her baby. The actress, 17, and Aldridge, 19, got engaged in March. Recently, the couple purchased a three-bedroom home in Liberty, Miss., where Aldridge went to high school.
Over the last few months, Spears has kept busy by passing her GED exam, preparing the nursery and attending multiple baby showers.
Jamie Lynn’s Zoey 101 costar, Erin Sanders, told PEOPLE earlier this year that the actress will be a fun mother.
“She is just a very good-hearted and warm person,” he said. “We
would always hang out on the set and she is a lot of fun, so I think
she’s going to be an easygoing, fun mom.”
