Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber Breathe Easy After Son's Health Scare
INFdaily.com
What with all the fuss over Mel Gibson and his red-carpet arm candy, Liev Schreiber's absence at last night's X-Men Origins: Wolverine premiere almost went unnoticed.
Though not by his ailing son.
Schreiber, who plays nemesis Sabretooth in the comic book flick, was in Los Angeles to attend the screening, but ended up a no-show after learning his 21-month-old son with Naomi Watts, Alexander, was hospitalized in New York for respiratory problems, according to People.
The 41-year-old actor immediately flew home and pulled bedside duty with Watts and their 4-month-old son, Samuel, though luckily not for long.
Alexander—who goes by the Russian version of his name, Sasha—was monitored by doctors for the night before being released.
"Sasha got home today and is feeling much better," said Schreiber's rep, Ina Treciokas.
Talk about a Hollywood ending.
Post-Oscar, Penn Is Fair Game, Watts Doubles Up

Not that Sean Penn hasn't been writing his own ticket for years, but it's nice to see winning his second Best Actor Oscar hasn't made him lazy.
The Milk star is in talks to join the cast of Fair Game, about the government-orchestrated outing of former CIA agent Valerie Plame, per Variety. Penn would play Plame's husband, Ambassador James Wilson, who penned a series of op-eds discrediting the Bush Administration's argument that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass distruction.
Doug Liman is set to direct and Naomi Watts is attached to play Plame, one of two projects on tap for the mother of two.
