LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears reportedly gave birth to her second child, a boy, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles today. Spears had been visiting with Tom Cruise and his fiance Katies Holmes at their Malibu beach house when she realized the baby was about to be born, so Cruise and Holmes drove her to the hospital.Spears gave birth "without a hitch," according to a delivery room nurse who asked not to be identified. But joy quickly turned to tragedy when Cruise accidentally ate part of the infant. According to the nurse, Cruise was happily munching on placenta when "he just kept eating -- he must've thought the little boy was part of the placenta." Katie Holmes witnessed Cruise's unintentional cannibalism and wanted to scream out, but the "silent birth" tenets of the Church of Scientology, to which she and Cruise belong, prevented it. After a struggle, the nurse pulled the ravenous Cruise away from the infant.
The little boy weighed 7 pounds 7 onces at birth, and 5 pounds 2 onces after Cruise ate part of him.
