* Actress Salma Hayek has released photos of her 2-month-old daughter with businessman fiance Francois-Henri Pinault, and she’s certainly no Ugly Betty. People.com reports that Valentina Paloma Pinault is the first child for Hayek, 41, and that Pinault, 45, has two children from a previous marriage.
* NBC picked up the new programs “Life” and “Chuck” for full seasons Monday. As ABC did with the new drama “Dirty Sexy Money,” NBC gave these programs full season pickups during the Writers Guild of America strike, which began Nov. 5. So the true length of their seasons will depend on whether the strike is resolved soon.
* Rosanna Arquette is the latest woman to be photographed with Paul McCartney. The News of the World published pictures of McCartney, 65, and the 48-year-old actress walking together in London. The ex-Beatle has been spotted with Renee Zellweger, Christie Brinkley and New Jersey trucking heiress Nancy Shevell.
* Say toodles to Twiggy. Producers of the CW’s “America’s Next Top Model” announced that international supermodel Paulina Porizkova will be replacing the British fashion icon as a judge on the model reality show. A producer quoted by TVguide.com said Twiggy is leaving after five seasons due to scheduling conflicts.
