Actor Jason Lee, star of "My Name is Earl," let the sex of his unborn baby slip while being interviewed on Thursday morning's "Today" show. Lee told the talk show hosts that his baby was due in August and that it was a girl.

Lee made the announcement outside in the Rockefeller Plaza on the rainy morning, and seemed to surprise "Today" hosts Meredith Vieira, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Ann Curry. Lee's girlfriend, and mother of the baby, is Ceren Alkac.

It will be the first baby for the couple. Lee, 38, also has a four-and-a-half year old son named Pilot Inspektor, with his ex, actress Beth Riesgraf.
