Dawson's Baby

The actor who will forever be known as Dawson Leery is now adding daddy to his resume. After divorcing Heather McComb last summer, James Van Der Beek has clearly moved on in a big way. The former Dawson's Creek actor is expecting his first child with girlfriend Kimberly Brook this fall.

Continuing the trend of bypassing publicists for Twitter, Van Der Beek tweeted, "Yes, it's true - the woman I love and I are expecting our first child. Currently experiencing joy on levels I never knew existed."

Congrats Dawson! Maybe your former on-screen love interest Katie Holmes can offer your baby mama some Scientology advice for her pregnancy and labor. Or better yet, arrange a personal shopping date for your baby with Suri! Ah, the life of a celebrity.
