Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, has given birth to her third child with husband Jared Kushner.

Ivanka Trump announced the birth of her son, Theodore James, Sunday on Twitter, saying that the family feels "incredibly blessed."

"We have an Easter Baby, which is beautiful," presidential candidate Donald Trump, told "Fox & Friends" about the birth of his eighth grandchild.

Ivanka Trump, even while many months pregnant, was a frequent presence by her father's side this year on the campaign trail.

Ivanka is a vice president at his company, Donald J. Trump Collection shirts, and markets hundreds of additional products under her own line of jewelry and clothing. She is the second of three children that Donald Trump had with ex-wife Ivana Trump.

Miley has reason to cheer

Miley Cyrus showed off her team spirit — and her enormous diamond engagement ring from Liam Hemsworth — while cheering for the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, according to MSN Entertainment. The singer-actress, 23, wore a Knicks T-shirt along with her 3.5-carat diamond ring. She'd slipped it back on her ring finger in January after she and the Australian actor, 26, rekindled their romance and, reportedly, their engagement, more than two years after calling it quits. Miley's other big news is the announcement that she and Alicia Keys will be new judges on NBC's "The Voice."

That's the way it is: "CBS Evening News" anchor Scott Pelley will receive the 2016 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism from Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The university announced Monday that Pelley will receive the award during a Nov. 21 luncheon in Phoenix. Cronkite School Dean Christopher Callahan said Pelley, who joined CBS News in 1989, represents Cronkite's values of accuracy, objectivity and integrity.

CNN's new talking head: Former NBC "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory is joining CNN as a Washington-based political analyst. He will appear primarily on "New Day," the network's morning news show. Gregory left NBC News after 20 years in 2014. The network, concerned about fading ratings on a show that dominated Sunday morning political television for years, replaced him with Chuck Todd. CNN said it has also hired political consultant Angela Rye, former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, as an analyst.

The "winners" have all been Turkeys, no matter the honor's name.

In this photo taken Monday, March 6, 2017, in San Francisco, released confidential files by The University of California of a sexual misconduct case, like this one against UC Santa Cruz Latin Studies professor Hector Perla is shown.
