A week after the birth of their twin daughters, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick debuted the babies in an official family photo.

It’s the first glimpse of Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick, born June 22 at an Ohio hospital to a surrogate mother.

Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, follow the lead of other celebrity parents who have publicly released family photos in an effort to stave off the paparazzi by diminishing the value of exclusive shots of their newborn children.

The couple did not profit from the photo, whereas, in recent years, celebrities have brokered million-dollar deals with celebrity magazines.

Drea de Matteo is moving to Wisteria Lane.

Aime Wolfe, the publicist for ABC’s Desperate Housewives, confirmed De Matteo will join the cast for the sixth season. Wolfe did not have further details, although EW.com quoted sources as saying that De Matteo will portray an Italian matriarch whose husband is a landscape designer.

De Matteo recently got engaged to country singer Shooter Jennings, with whom she has an 18-month-old daughter, Alabama.

De Matteo met an ugly end as Adriana, Christopher’s girlfriend-turned-FBI informant on The Sopranos. She later starred on the short-lived NBC sitcom Joey.

Last season, Desperate Housewives killed off original housewife Edie, played by Nicollette Sheridan.
