Benicio Del Toro Knocks Up Kimberly Stewart

In "TMZ is having a field day" news of the day, it appears that Paris Hilton's former BFF is pregnant.  No, not Nicole Ritchie, the one that isn't famous.  Kimberly Stewart, daughter of Rod Stewart, is expecting.  Academy Award winner Benicio del Toro is the father.

In a statement released, surprisingly, by 'Life and Style' magazine, and not by representatives of either party said,
"Life & Style can confirm exclusively that Kimberly Stewart, the daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, is pregnant with actor Benicio del Toro's baby, a rep for Benicio confirms. "Kimberly is pregnant. Benicio is the father and is very supportive," Benicio's rep, Robin Baum, tells Life & Style exclusively. "Although they are not a couple, they are looking forward to the arrival of the baby." Benicio, 44, is best known for winning an Academy Award for his role in Traffic in 2001. Kimberly was most recently linked to actors Jude Law and Rhys Ifans, and in 2005 Kimberly was engaged to then-Laguna Beach star Talan Torriero, who was seven years younger than her."
Translation of the statement from Benicio's rep: "We ran into each other backstage at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.  We didn't even have dinner.  I can't believe this is happening to me.  I am entering rehab in the morning."


For those of you unfamiliar with Stewart, it's not surprising.  Her Wikipedia bio lists her as an "actress, model, and fashion designer", but she is essentially a D-list version of a Kardashian or a Hilton (daddy's rich, but I want to party).  A staple on the red carpet a couple of years ago, the following clip is what she is most famous for.



In 2005, Stewart had her breast implants removed, autographed them, and gave them to ex-boyfriend Jack Osbourne.  She was also romantically liked, at one time, to Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin, after he had broken up with her father's ex-wife/her stepmother Rachel Hunter.  That's one classy lady.

On the list of socialites/reality TV stars to be connected romantically to, the socially acceptable list is as follows:

Any Kardashian Sister
Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Nicole Ritchie
Snooki
Spencer Pratt
Gary Busey
The Situation
Flavor Flav
Girl on "Rock of Love Bus"
Kimberly Stewart

Benicio del Toro's credibility has taken such a hit, that he has moved from movie roles to the stage.  He can be seen next month in a dinner theatre presentation of 'Death of a Salesman', in Dayton, Ohio.

In other news, Sir Anthony Hopkins has been romantically linked to Puddin', from the first season of 'Flavor of Love'.
