"Finally!" was the standard reaction to Jessica Simpson's baby news on Twitter Tuesday.
The singer, 31, gave birth to her first child, Maxwell Drew Johnson, with fiance Eric Johnson, 32, Tuesday morning. "We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received," Simpson wrote on her website. "This has been the greatest experience of our lives!"
While some celebrities wrote tweets of congratulations, others couldn't help but crack some jokes over Simpson's long-awaited birth announcement.

Pregnant Jersey Shore star Snooki (real name: Nicole Polizzi) tweeted, "Congrats to Jessica Simpson for having a beautiful baby!!! So exciting!" She recently backtracked on dissing Simpson after she said she "would die" if she were her size and explained, "I love the girl and her hot ass bump."Â
