Cate Blanchett arrives at Australia 2020 summit with her new born son
Cate Blanchett took an extra participant along to the Australia 2020 summit today - her newborn son.
Blanchett will co-chair the creative meeting, less than a week after giving birth to her third child Ignatius Martin Upton.
A beaming Blanchett posed for photos with six-day-old Ignatius this morning as hundreds of delegates filed through the doors of Parliament House.
Actor Hugh Jackman praised Ms Blanchett on his way in to the talks.
"I have given her my kids - she is looking after them for the weekend."
"Cate Blanchett is superwoman ... she is amazing on every level, I think she is flawless as a person and I am thrilled that she is leading our stream."
Actor Rhys Muldoon - known for his role in the ABC kids show Play School - then joked about the "superwoman" tag.
"She has just had three kids more this morning, so there will be four little kids at the summit with her."

Victoria's jeans are not selling
The blogosphere has been buzzing with reports that Victoria Beckham’s dVb denim line is being dropped from several top retailers, including L.A.’s famous Fred Segal and Kitson boutiques.
Turns out that while the line isn’t dropped from Kitson, it’s definitely not performing up to expectation — and that’s being attributed to Posh’s laissez-faire attitude.
Kitson owner Fraser Ross tells People:
“She’s not supporting the line. It’s not good for her brand and not good for her endorsements. In a tough economy, you need to be in partnership with the people that are selling your line to your fans. That’s the bottom line.”
And it’s not like she’s not nearby. Ross says:
“Victoria lives fifteen minutes from the store. That’s just bad business.”
But, he hasn’t given up hope in reviving the line and is in talks with her people to prop up the ailing sales.
“We haven’t dumped it. Hopefully there will be some kind of resolution.”

Cage hits back at Turner
Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage has hit back after Kathleen Turner accused him of behaving like a diva when they starred in 1986 comedy Peggy Sue Got Married.
The film - which earned Turner a Best Actress Oscar nomination - was directed by Cage's uncle Francis Ford Coppola and Turner insisted the actor went to great lengths to disobey his famous relative.
In her forthcoming autobiography, Send Yourself Roses, Turner, writes:
"Everything Francis Ford Coppola) wanted him (Cage) to do, he went against to show that he wasn't under his uncle's wing. Which was ridiculous. Oh, that stupid voice of his and the fake teeth! Honestly, I cringe to think about it. He caused so many problems."
She also went on to accuse the National Treasure star of getting in trouble with the police while they were filming.
She adds:
"He was arrested twice for drunk driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He'd come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket."
But Cage, insists the 53-year-old's book is inaccurate. He tells New York Post gossip column PageSix:
"While I recall Kathleen Turner being a great lady and wonderful actress, the credibility of her biography and her memory is at stake . . . Fact credibility should have been exercised on (her) part."

Beckham in Sierra Leone with Unicef
David Beckham has appealed for the world not to turn a blind eye to "shocking" child mortality rates in developing nations as he returned from a visit to a poverty-stricken west African country.
The England midfielder said tens of thousands of young children were dying every day across the world, mostly from preventable conditions.
His remarks followed his visit as United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) goodwill ambassador to Sierra Leone, a country where more than a quarter of children die before their fifth birthday.
He said:
"We can't turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of young children who die every day in the developing world mostly from causes that are preventable."
"In Sierra Leone, one in four children dies before reaching their fifth birthday - it's shocking and tragic especially when the solutions are simple - things like vaccinations against measles or using a mosquito net to reduce the chance of getting malaria.
"Saving these children's lives is a top priority for Unicef and as an ambassador I hope I can help to draw attention to this issue across the world."
The star, who is a father of three, arrived in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, on Friday, before travelling to Makeni, Bombali District, in the northern province of Sierra Leone, which has the highest number of under-five child deaths in the country.
During his four-day visit, he spent time at a health clinic learning about the most common causes of these deaths, such as malaria, diarrhoea, malnutrition and vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and TB.
Unicef UK executive director David Bull said:
"We are grateful to David Beckham for shining the spotlight on the unacceptable number of young children who are dying often needlessly in Sierra Leone and other developing countries.
"Everyone can play a role in changing this situation governments, donors and the public."

Casey Aldridge is not the father
The father of Jamie Lynn Spears baby is not boyfriend Casey Aldridge, according to shocking reports from the U.S.
News that Britney’s sister was pregnant at 16 - under the legal age for sex in the U.S. - forced 18-year-old Casey into hiding.
But now Star magazine insists that the teenager may not be the dad - and that Spears’ friends and family think it is an older man who would face statutory rape charges.
Friends have said that Jamie Lynn was no longer even seeing Casey - and family members told Star that they believe the real father is a much older executive at her children’s TV show ‘Zoey 101′.
“Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified,” Star magazine insists.
They say the real reason is that an older man could be charged with statutory rape if revealed to be the father of an under-aged girl’s baby.
But in Jamie Lynn’s home state of Louisiana, Casey would escape charges because a 16-year-old can legally have sex with someone less than two years older than her.
