SHORT TAKES : Reba McEntire Gives Birth
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music singer Reba McEntire has given birth to her first child, a son, at Nashville hospital, a spokesman said today.

An Oklahoma native, McEntire last June married her manager, Narvel Blackstock, 33, about three years after divorcing her first husband, Charlie Battles.
A spokesman said the child, born over the weekend, was named Shelby Blackstock.
