SEAN ASTIN A DAD ONCE AGAIN

LORD OF THE RINGS star SEAN ASTIN and his wife CHRISTINE are celebrating after welcoming their third daughter into the world on Friday (22JUL05).

ISABELLA LOUISE was born a month premature weighing 5 pounds, 4 ounces (2.38 kilograms), but was still well enough to join the couple and their two other children - ALEXANDRA, eight, and ELIZABETH, two - at home in Los Angeles the day after she arrived.

Astin's spokesman DAVID LUST tells People magazine, "Mom and baby are fine and everyone is very happy."

Astin, 34, and Christine, 35, have been married since 1992.
