Minnie Driver Gets a Baby, Loses a TV Show

Minnie Driver is getting plaudits in the media for posting a sweet, unposed photo of herself with adorable new son Henry on MySpace, instead of creating a tabloid bidding war for the first baby pics.

And she seems awfully happy -- so it probably doesn't matter so much to her that The Riches has been canceled.

Ironically, word of the show's demise also came from MySpace, when actor Tod Stashwick posted it on his blog.

We can't say we're surprised. While the FX drama -- which also starred comedian Eddie Izzard as the head of a con-artist clan that takes over a wealthy family's lives -- started strong, its second season was a little dull. As with so many shows based on a unique concept, it must have been hard for the writers to keep things going without repeating themselves.

So, anyway, sorry, Minnie -- and congratulations!
