I'ts a boy for 'Earl's' Pressly

Los Angeles -- A baby boy was born Friday to "My Name is Earl" star Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiance, Eric Cubiche, in a Los Angeles hospital.

The boy's name, Dezi James, has a bit of a running joke between the couple, Pressly told People magazine. Cubiche impersonates Desi Arnaz, calling Pressly "Luuucy" when he comes home. James is her father's name.

The couple were friends for more than nine years and dated for a year and a half before becoming engaged in October, the magazine said.
