Mary Lynn Rajskub — aka 24's Chloe — on Thursday gave birth to a baby boy, Valentine Anthony. The child is the first for Rajskub, 36, and her boyfriend Matthew Rolph, 28. Following a delivery that was two weeks after the due date, Rajskub joked, "It was like an episode of 24 with the clock ticking." Per People, Valentine's gender was a mystery to the couple up until his birth — the pair kept it a surprise, and painted the nursery green. Even with her new arrival, Rajskub will be back for 24's seventh season. While little Valentine may need her, Jack does, too. — Anna DimondMore on Mary Lynn:• 24's Rajskub Cooks Up Role in Julie and Julia• Pregnant Pause: "Chloe" Awaits News on 24

Mary Lynn Rajskub is enjoying her pregnancy now, but it has not been an easy first trimester for the actress. "I felt like I had the worst hangover that I've ever had, all day and all night, so by the end of the day I'd be really crabby because it wouldn't lift," she told TV Guide at the Celebrity Hot Moms and Hot Moms to Be event in Beverly Hills. "The only thing that would lift [my mood] is drinking or eating something." Don't believe her? Rajskub's pregnancy, cravings and all, is being documented in webisodes to be posted later to her MySpace page! Rajskub goes back to the set of 24 in a month but does not know (or refuses to tell) whether or not Chloe is still pregnant.

Not even the rain could keep the Jack Bauer faithful away from the world-premiere trailer for the new season of 24 in Times Square on Thursday. An estimated 200 people congregated around the giant Panasonic screen to watch scenes from the much-anticipated two-hour Season 7 premiere that will air on Sunday, Jan. 13, at 8 pm/ET. Fox promotion winners from around the country were flown in from as far as Phoenix to attend the screening and get a chance to meet actress Mary Lynn Rajskub. “Luckily I saw the trailer yesterday because I couldn’t really focus on it with all these people,” Rajskub told TVGuide.com. “It was very exciting, I’m glad people turned out.” The trailer opens with a new setting of Washington, D.C., and Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) on trial for his interrogation methods in his past six action-packed days. However, sticking to the spirit of 24, things start going wrong very quickly when ex-colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) returns as Jac...
