Parker, Broderick show off twins | Keaton gets a bump on the head
Published Wednesday July 1st, 2009
A week after the birth of their twin daughters, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick debuted the babies in an official family photo.
It's the first glimpse of Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick, born June 22 at an Ohio hospital to a surrogate mother.
The photo, taken Monday in New York, shows a happy family: Parker and Broderick smile, each cradling a twin - she, Marion, he, Tabitha.
Their six-year-old son, James Wilkie Broderick, is in between mom and dad, gazing down at little sis Marion.
Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, follow the lead of other celebrity parents who have publicly released family photos in an effort to stave off the paparazzi by diminishing the value of exclusive shots of their newborn children.
The couple did not profit from the photo, whereas, in recent years, celebrities have brokered million-dollar deals with celebrity magazines.

Paramount Pictures says Diane Keaton is "in good health and spirits" after falling and bumping her head on the set of her latest film.
Keaton sustained the injury Monday in New York, where she was filming the comedy Morning Glory, co-starring Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams.
Paramount publicist Rona Geller issued a statement, saying the 63-year-old Oscar-winning actress was taken to the hospital for precautionary tests. Keaton has "been cleared by doctors to return to work tomorrow."
Keaton won an Academy Award for 1977's Annie Hall. She's been nominated three other times - for Reds, Marvin's Room and Something's Gotta Give.

Zsa Zsa Gabor is back at home recovering from a flu-like illness after being hospitalized for six days.
Her husband, Prince Frederick von Anhalt, said Monday the 92-year-old actress was treated at a hospital and released, but did not provide details on her condition.
The actress is partially paralyzed from a 2002 car accident, which forced her to use a wheelchair and walker. She also reportedly had a stroke in 2005.
Von Anhalt also says he was in a car accident on Saturday in Bel Air and has a broken rib.
He adds that he finally became an American citizen on Friday, after 25 years of living in the U.S. He was born in Germany.

A Canadian singing sensation who burst onto the scene in the 1960's at the age of 15 with the hit single Unless You Care has died.
Terry Black, originally from North Vancouver, was 62 when he passed away Saturday in Kamloops, B.C., a year after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Unless You Care became a Canadian hit in late 1964 and went on to become a top seller in the United States, making Black one of the first Canadians to have a hit record in the U.S.
The record helped Black win the male vocalist of the year category at the Maple Music Awards, the forerunner of the Junos.
He had other hit records, but his solo career ended in 1970 when he married Laurel Ward and the two became a duo act, releasing several singles in the 1970's.
Veteran B.C. disc jockey Red Robinson says Black had a wonderful sense of humour and was shy but the shyness disappeared once he got on stage.

The chief of the United States' second-largest school district is fuming over comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's magazine photo shoot with high school football players.
Los Angeles Superintendent Ramon Cortines isn't amused by the GQ magazine photos shot at Birmingham High School that feature the Borat star in his new incarnation as gay Austrian fashionista Bruno.
The GQ cover story features pictures of Cohen wearing shoulder pads, tight red shorts, an athletic cup and little else as he poses with football players at the school in the San Fernando Valley.
Cortines says the district has "allowed our students to be used."
Local district superintendent Jean Brown said she's trying to determine who was responsible.
