Would-be Dancing with the Stars champ Laila Ali is a mommy! (She was robbed, I'm telling you!) Ali and her husband, footballer Curtis Conway, welcomed a six pound, eight ounce, nineteen inch son into the world this past Thursday. Little Curtis Muhammad Conway is named, in part, for Ali's famous boxing champ father Muhammad Ali (real name Cassius Clay, a name I would have LOVED to see her incorporate, but Curtis rocks equally well).

People Magazine is reporting, in conjunction with Ali's website, however, that the labor did not go the way the American Gladiator star, 30, thought it would, and that her birth plan was altered. Uhm, yeah--it's not like doctors actually pay attention to those things anyway! Frankly, they do whatever it takes to get the kid into the world as quickly, easily, painlessly and safely as possible! No word on how the birth plan was changed, but if there's anything I can attest to, it's that the baby, and not the mommy, calls the shots in pretty much everything, including how he gets here!

Congrats to Laila and Curtis, who must be over the moon. Ali noted that Conway, who has two children from a previous relationship, had been picking up a lot of slack during the pregnancy and that he was going to be great with the baby once he/she arrived. Ali also noted that the child was sure to be an athlete given the awesome level of athleticism on both sides of the family. Good luck to little "CJ" as they're calling him, in everything he does, sports-wise and otherwise!
