Jessica's Dad: Honor is the Prettiest Baby Ever!

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren�s baby girl, Honor Marie is well � an honor for the actress' father Mark. Though he had been in Florida on business late last week, he flew home immediately to California so he wouldn�t miss the birth of his granddaughter.

�She's got Jessica's complexion, her hair, her eyes. She looks like Jessica when she was a baby," Mark tells Latina Magazine. "I thought Jessica was the prettiest baby I had ever seen, but I was wrong."

Mark did admit to being a little shocked by the entire birth. �I never thought that I would cry so much. The fact that this little girl came out of my daughter's stomach, it blows my mind," he exclaimed, adding that he wasn't nearly as emotional when Jessica's brother Josh Alba's first child was born. "Somehow, this was different," he said.

He also tells the mag that baby and mother are resting at their Los Angeles home with Cash, his dad Michael Warren, Jess� mother and a nanny, while he headed back to Florida.

"This is my father's day," Mark says. "We have such a blessed family."

Bbc Resisting Scrutiny Independence Mps Say

Taxpayers' money spent on the BBC does not receive properly independent scrutiny, MPs have claimed.

The Commons' public accounts committee made the claim because the BBC is the only publicly-funded institution which decides which areas of spending are scrutinised by the National Audit Office.

The BBC Trust's ability to decide means the broadcaster "remains closed to proper independent scrutiny", committee chairman Edward Leigh said.

Instead the National Audit Office and auditor-general should be given this power, it suggests. Such a move could help boost drooping public trust in the institution following a series of embarrassing phone-in competition errors.

Efforts to achieve £75 million of savings over three years at the BBC look like proving successful, the report notes.

It says "significant" procurement savings are being achieved but warns that progress is at its most limited in the areas where the highest levels of spending are taking place.

"There is a lot more that the BBC can do to trim its procurement bill," Mr Leigh added.

He recommended making staff fully aware of the benefits of central contract buying, greater use of electronic auctions and scrutiny of procurement practices by those providing outsourced services as the best means to achieve this.
