Matthew posted this statement on his website:

“Happy Father’s Day. It’s my first, and the last 11 months with Levi and Camila have been the most rewarding adventure to date. We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father’s Day that [will] make this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother… Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time, Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows…. just keep livin, Matthew and Camila. “

PS: Good news doesn’t justify breaking dog leash laws yet again!

Following in the footsteps of T.I.’s Road To Redemption, convicted animal abuser Michael Vick is in talks to star in his own reality show that will document him trying to “make amends for his past.”

The Hollywood Reporter claims Vick may get as much as $600,000 for this show, which would begin filming after his July 20 release from federal custody.  Unless he donates some of that money to PETA, the Humane Society, or some other animal rights organization, Popsquire will not be watching.

It’s unclear whether Matt Lauer committed battery on a deer or vice versa.  Either way, Matt isn’t expected to return to Today until Wednesday due to a weekend bicycle “run-in” with a deer that resulted in his shoulder injury.
