Jay-Z
Just 24 hours after the birth of his daughter, Jay-Z celebrated with the release of "Glory," a song that covers everything from past miscarriages wife Beyonce Knowles experienced, to baby Blue Ivy's conception in Paris, and the new dad's love of his hours-old tot. The recording even features some sounds of baby Blue Ivy cooing in the background.

The lyrics of the song include: The most amazing feeling I feel/Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real/Baby I paint the sky blue/My greatest creation was you/False alarms and false starts/All made better by the sound of your heart/All the pain of the last time/I pray so hard it was the last time/Your mama said that you danced for her/Did you wiggle your hands for her?

Chris Martin
Following the birth of Apple in 2004, Martin got together with his Coldplay bandmates to create a fun music video about babies, fatherhood, and new mommy Gwyneth Paltrow.

Introducing the fictitious band "The Nappies," Martin sang lyrics that included: Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you frown, With your hormones bouncing up and down Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad, But it's a weird nine months that you have had, There's [bleep] going down that you can't disguise, When your boobs gone up ten times the size, The cups gone up from an A to D. It's bad for you but it's fun for me...I'll be there with you, baby, through the thin and the thick, I'm gonna clean up all the poo and the sick, I'll be there to make you happy, And keep everything clean, I'll change the nappy through the washing machine I ain't no baddy... I am your baby's daddy.

Joel Madden
Following the birth of his first daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden, daddy Joel penned a lullaby that he intended to keep inside the family. When his brother and bandmate Benji Madden heard "Harlow's Song," he insisted that it be included on their next album. Joel, who's married to Nicole Richie (together they have another son, Sparrow James Midnight Madden), later said, "I've never written a song like that. It was pretty interesting. It's like a straight love song for somebody. It's a lullaby, and it ended up being on the record. I've never really had the ability to write songs like that. So I guess my life has changed a lot."

The lyrics for the song include: I can't dream without you. When you close your eyes and go to sleep tonight, I'll be right outside your door, dreams will come and they'll take you away, let them bring you back to me. And tomorrow when you wake I'll be next to you, the protection from the day, when the tears fall down your face like morning dew, I'll be there to put a smile on your face, and I'll say?

Lenny Kravitz
When little Zoe Kravitz was born in 1988 to Kravitz and his wife at the time Lisa Bonet, the rocker dad sat down and wrote "Zoe's Lullaby," which eventually became "Flowers For Zoe." The song became a hit when it was rereleased in 1991.

Among the lyrics are: Flowers for Zoe/Love for Zoe/Angels and rainbows/All kinds of things you can call your own/Garden for Zoe/And oceans for Zoe/Jungle gym playgrounds/All kinds of things for you to explore.

Films? Stars? Who Cares. Globes' spotlight on Gervais (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) ? What will Ricky Gervais say and about whom will he say it? Those are the two most pressing questions heading into Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards, not what will win best film or TV show.

The Golden Globe Awards annually is among Hollywood's most-watched honors programs where A-list stars come out to wine, dine and rub elbows, and the trophies that are given out often bring the type of industry exposure that can lead to Oscars.

But in 2011, Globes host and Ricky Gervais ruffled the tuxedos and gowns of celebrities such as Robert Downey, Jr. and even Golden Globe organizers -- roughly 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- with jokes about their reputations.

Initially, the HFPA said he would not be invited back, but in a turnabout late last year, they and TV network NBC which airs the program issued an olive branch and invited the British funnyman to return. Now, the question is, what will he say this time.

"People say, is there anything you shouldn't joke about? I don't think there is. I just think it depends what the joke is," Gervais told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in a segment to be aired on her program on Thursday.

"Comedy comes from either a good or a bad place and I was just teasing them, ya know," he added. "It wasn't a room full of wounded soldiers. These are the richest, most privileged people in the world."

Indeed, Hollywood royalty ranging from George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep are nominated for awards, as are the casts of TV comedy "Modern Family" and newcomer drama "Homeland", who will be on hand in Beverly Hills for the awards show.

Because they are widely-watched on TV and in the industry, the Golden Globes are seen as a harbinger of which movies and stars may win Oscars -- the world's top film honors given out in February by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

A heartfelt Golden Globes acceptance speech for best actor or actress, for example, may endear Oscar voters to a star and propel them to victory throughout Hollywood's film award season.

"The Golden Globes is your Oscar audition," said veteran awards watcher Tom O'Neil of website Goldderby.com.

HOLLYWOOD'S SILENT AGE HIT

Silent-era film "The Artist," a romantic tale shot in the style of old Hollywood, heads into Sunday night's ceremony with six nominations, more than any other film, including best comedy or musical. The movie has charmed Hollywood this awards season and looks a sure pick to claim that prize, but could face competition from popular comedy "Bridesmaids."

Golden Globe voters also pick a winner of best film drama, and in that category "The Descendants," starring Clooney as a father trying to keep his family together during a crisis, has the strongest shot at walking off a victor, O'Neil said.

Among actors and actresses, Streep looks to be a good pick to claim the Golden Globe trophy for best actress in a drama for her portrayal of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady," although she could face a challenge from Viola Davis in "The Help."

Michelle Williams competes for best actress in a movie musical or comedy in "My Week with Marilyn" against the likes of "Saturday Night Live" comedian Kristen Wiig for "Bridesmaids."

Clooney with "Descendants" takes on DiCaprio for "J. Edgar" and Pitt in "Moneyball" in the best drama actor category, and "Artist" star, Frenchman "Jean Dujardin" is among the top nominees for best actor in a film musical or comedy.

While the film categories are most closely watched because of their impact on the Oscar race, Golden Globe voters pick TV favorites, too, and have a tendency to elevate new shows and fresh faces.

Psychological thriller "Homeland" is among new shows competing for best drama series, taking on other newcomers like "American Horror Story" and "Game of Thrones." Best comedy program nominees feature past favorites such as "Glee" and "Modern Family."

O'Neil said "New Girl" actress Zooey Deschanel could easily take the stage for best actress in a comedy, solidifying her status as this year's hottest fresh face on TV.

But regardless of who wins what, all eyes -- and ears -- will be fixed more closely on Gervais. Let the Globes begin.

Tokyo bourse in final talks to keep Olympus listed: report (Reuters)

TOKYO (Reuters) ? The Tokyo Stock Exchange is in final talks to keep the scandal-hit Olympus Corp listed on the bourse, Jiji News Agency reported on Monday.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange kept Olympus on its watchlist after the firm met its deadline to file its revised results on December 14, which revealed a $1.1 billion dent in its balance sheet.

A source close to the matter told Reuters on Sunday that Olympus is considering suing current and former executives for compensation totaling about 90 billion yen ($1.2 billion), while its new president is considering resigning.
