Introducing baby Bing!

Kate Hudson and hubby Matthew Bellamy have given the glossy scandal sheets a wide berth, opting to share the first snap of their newborn son on Twitter instead.

The Muse rocker and proud papa posted a picture of his fiancée, 32, holding the couple's first child, Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy, via Twitter on Sunday.

Captioned "Family life!" the snap shows a relaxed Hudson cradling their 5-week-old son, who appears to be fast asleep for his first photo op.

Hudson, who is also mother to 8-year-old son Ryder with ex husband Chris Robinson, gave birth to Bing in Los Angeles on July 9.

Hudson and Bellamy, 33, met last year at a music festival and announced their engagement in April.

The singer explained the baby's name shortly after his arrival.

"For those wondering, Bingham is my mum's maiden name," Bellamy wrote on Twitter.

"Bing Russell was also Kurt [Russell's] dad. Family connections all around!" Hawn is the surname of Kate's movie-star mother, Goldie Hawn.

He added: "Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!"

Whirlwind wedding

Now that's what you call a quickie!

Actress Tara Reid gets engaged and married...in one day.

After an engagement that lasted mere hours, American Pie star Reid, 35, married Zack Kehayov in Greece on Saturday.

Reid took to Twitter to share the news.

"I just got engaged!" she boomed. Hours later, she added: "Just got married in Greece. I love being a wife."

Initial reports suggested that Reid had in fact got hitched to her former beau, Danish businessman Michael Lilleun. The star later took to Twitter to clarify: "His name is Zack Kehayov."

Wedding snap here. And obligatory finger bling snap here.

Reid was previously engaged to Internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann, but called it off in 2010.
