KiM k. AnD kAnYe ArE hAvInG a BaBy!

More pregger news from the pregger strastosphere: reality TV star Kim Kardashian and boyfriend of almost a year rapper Kanye West, have confirmed that they are expecting their first child together!

During a concert yesterday, Kanye West told the audience to "Stop the music and make some noise for my baby mama,” according to a fan on Twitter who was at the show, and then reportedly pointed to his girlfriend in the audience.

Moreover, Kim Kardashian is still married to ex-husband of only 72 days NBA player Kris Humphries, which would make this situation kind of awkward don't you think? Can you imagine Kim going to divorce court with Kris, and she has a bulging belly that obviously didn't come from him?! I guess Kim is definitely showing Kris, that she's moved on and so should he.

Youngest sister Khloe Kardashian, who has struggled to get pregnant with husband Lamar Odom, wrote, “Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited!!!!! LOVE is everything!!!!”

Oldest sister Kourtney Kardashian, who just gave birth to her second child in July, also gushed, “Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!”

Kris Jenner, the matriarch and manager of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, added, “Oh BABY BABY BABY!!,” while her 17-year-old model-reality star daughter with Bruce Jenner, Kendall, tweeted, “whos excited about the KIMYE babbyyy?! :D weeee.”

On a side note: I hope Khloe and Lamar will welcome their bundle of joy soon, I'm sure it must be pretty painful to watch her sister's get pregnant and not herself. But all things in due time, and I'm sure when it happens it will be right on time. Keep ya head up Khloe!

Congrats to the happy couple, and this better not be a publicity stunt!

"RhOa" StAr PhAeDrA pArKs Is PrEgNAnT aGaIn!

Look who's preggers! "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks, is expecting her 2nd child with husband, Apollo Nida! Their 2 and a half year old son Ayden, will soon be a big brother!

This particular picture above is of Phaedra on the beaches of Nassau, Bahamas, where she and Apollo spent the Christmas holiday with a few friends (seen-r: Toya and Memphitz Wright, Kandi Burruss and boyfriend Todd, Rasheeda and Kirk Frost).

I'm sure happy to see Phaedra and Apollo are still together, because in a sneak peak preview of the next "RHOA" episode, it was said the couple were getting a divorce. I guess the "bun in the oven" suggests otherwise lol!

Congrats to the happy couple!

AcToR mIcHaEl ClArKe DuNcAn DeAd At 54

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan (seen above) who was best known for his breakout role as John Coffey in "The Green Mile", in which he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, passed away this morning in Los Angeles at the age of 54. 

The actor suffered a heart attack a couple months ago, and was found by his girlfriend and reality star Omarosa Manigault, who revived the actor by using CPR. But Mr. Duncan never fully seemed to recover from this setback.

Mr. Duncan died in a Los Angeles hospital room where he was attended by his fiance Omarosa, and her mother. Michael's rep spoke on behalf of reality TV star Omarosa, "[Omarosa] Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date."

My condolences to the family at this tragic time. RIP MCD.

SaRaH sIlVeRmAn OfFeRs To 'ScIsSoR' bIlLiOnAiRe ShElDoN aDeLsOn If hE gIvEs CaMpAiGn DoNaTiOn To ObAmA iNsTeAd Of RoMnEy!

Comedian and concerned American citizen Sarah Silverman, has made Las Vegas resident and billionaire Sheldon Adelson, an offer he can't refuse. Silverman has offered to 'scissor' Adelson, only if he gives the $100 million dollars he promised to Mitt Romney for a campaign donation, to President Obama instead. 

Sarah seems to understand how easy it is for the elite to buy presidential elections, and since she doesn't have as much money as Adelson, she decided to offer her body instead. If Adelson moves his millions over to the Obama campaign, Sarah will wear a bikini and “scissor” him “to completion.”  

I thought her offer was quite interesting, so much so, I decided to post her campaign video with the request! See video below, quite funny.

Yay! Kourtney Kardashian, has finally decided to show baby Penelope Scotland Disick, to the world! I wonder what the thought process was behind Penelope's name? I actually think it's cute. 

Penelope was born July 8 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces. Gushes the ecstatic second-time mom (who shares her new Us Weekly cover with sleepy Penelope and a beaming Mason): "Nothing could prepare me for how hard I fell in love with her."

Well, six years in a relationship with the baby daddy, Scot Disick, and two babies later. I wonder if there is a wedding in the near future? People can talk about the couple having babies out of wedlock, but I believe Kourtney is being smart about the situation. And who says you have to be married to be committed anyway?

Congrats to the happy couple!

No matter the pressure, and the stress of being under the microscope, she's humble, loving and sensitive.  Michelle, thank you so much for every single thing that you do for us.

Let's Goooooo! I'm so proud of the Heat!

Keeping it real, I am a professed Los Angeles Lakers fan and during the finals I rooted for Oklahoma City Thunder, not Miami Heat. I usually root for the under dog if my Lakers bow out, but tonight in the 3rd quarter when the Heat was up 65-54, I completely stopped watching the game. 

I stopped watching because I knew Miami Heat was going to take home the championship. After the Heat won their 3rd game against OKC, I knew they would come out with a vengeance to get the last game over with -- and can you blame them? When a team is that close to victory going hard should always be the number one option.

I'm happy that Lebron James, finally took home a win. Every since he left his previous team of 7 years the Cleveland Cavaliers, he's received much flack and degradation from his Ohio fans and especially from Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert. 

When Mr. James made the decision as a free agent to leave his team, Mr Gilbert verbally assaulted Mr. James stating that, "The Cleveland Cavaliers will take home a championship before King James." 

I wonder if someone is eating their words now?

Lebron through the burning of your Jersey, through the fans turning on you, through Mr. Gilbert maliciously tearing you apart you've remained a gentleman throughout the entire process. Obviously, you knew bigger and better things were waiting for you. 

So congrats to MVP Lebron James, and congrats to the entire Miami Heat team! You guys earned it! Miami Heat beat Oklahoma City, 121-106.

I must say, it sure feels good to see Whitney in action again -- and at her best nonetheless. We get to see her beautiful face on screen one last time. I can not wait! 

Sparkle due out this summer August 17th. Look out for it!

LeGeNdArY sInGeR wHiTnEy HoUsToN dEaD aT 48

Seeing the breaking news on CNN yesterday about Whitney, I felt like I was in a time warp. The news didn't seem real and at first I thought it was a mistake. I changed the channel and learned the story had broke on other news outlets as well.

I broke into tears and covered my mouth thinking, "No! She's to young! She has a baby! I love her!"

Growing up I felt like Whitney was a family member, that's how often her voice was present in my home. I grew up singing Whitney's songs in musicals, plays, chorus, gospel choir, church and in the shower! Most talent shows I sang her songs, and was always so proud I could hit every note!

I'm devastated beyond belief. Waking up today knowing she's really gone, still isn't sitting well with me. Although she's gone from the physical world, I'm sure she's shining brightly in heaven.

God bless you Whitney, for sharing your powerful vocal cords and beauty with us all. I pray her daughter Bobbi Kristina, doesn't let this moment in time cripple her for all her life, and I pray it makes her stronger. 

My condolences to the Houston family and friends.

WHITNEY HOUSTON SINGING "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"

Allegedly, Kobe Bryant (seen above-r) has lost three mansions and a sum of 75 million dollars to wife Vanessa Bryant (seen above-l),n their divorce settlement.

The basketball couple didn't have a prenuptial agreement in place, during their time of marriage in 2003. So as a result Vanessa Bryant, is rightfully entitled to half of Kobe's assets!

It's been reported Kobe Bryant, gave his wife what she asked for in the divorce settlement, so she wouldn't air the NBA player's dirty laundry about their ten year marriage.

Can you imagine how many publishers would absolutely LOVE, to pay Vanessa Bryant to write a book on their ten year marriage?! If there isn't a clause put in place that requires his wife to not speak about their marriage, then it leaves the gate open to a lot of problems.

In 2001, before Kobe married his soon-to-be ex-wife Vanessa, his parents were totally against it. Allegedly, Kobe's parent's felt he was to young for marriage just out of high school, and wanted him to wait awhile. 

Kobe obviously didn't listen to his parents, and as a result they didn't attend their son's wedding. If Kobe would have waited to marry Vanessa, would he have considered a prenuptial agreement? 

When singer/actress Christina Milian divorced her producer husband 'The Dream', Milian was humble -- asking one million for each year they were married and like Vanessa Bryant, Milian divorced her husband due to infidelity. They were married four years and Milian received four million in alimony. 

So should Vanessa Bryant only receive ten million, for being married to Kobe for ten years?

As the famous rapper Kanye West said in his infamous song, "Gold Digga": "Holley we want prenup...its something that you need to have, cause when she leave yo #$%$ she gon leave with half."

MARRIAGE UPDATE: Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa Bryant, are giving their marriage a second chance! Good job guys and congrats!

EtTa JaMeS "tHe DuChEsS oF bLuEs" DiEs Of LeUkEmIa

Etta James had been suffering from dementia, kidney problems and was battling leukemia. In December 2011, her physician announced that her leukemia was terminal, and asked for prayers for the singer. And now Ms. Etta James has passed.

The 73 year old rhythm and blues singer, broke racial boundaries with her extraordinary talent. The color of her skin didn't matter, but it was her raw and passionate singing ability that caught people's attention.

"Etta James was a pioneer. Her ever-changing sound has influenced rock and roll, rhythm and blues, pop, soul and jazz artists, marking her place as one of the most important female artists of our time," said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO Terry Stewart.

Upon hearing of her death Beyonce, released a statement on her website that read: "This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime."

"Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed."

Beyonce also played the late great star in a film titled, "Cadillac Records" in which she sung Etta James' songs with emotion, power and soul.

James was inducted into the Rock Hall in 1993, captured a Grammy in 2003 for best contemporary blues album for "Let's Roll", one in 2004 for best traditional blues album for "Blues to the Bone", and one for best jazz vocal performance for 1994's "Mystery Lady": Songs of Billie Holiday. 

She was also awarded a special Grammy in 2003 for lifetime achievement, and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In memory of the fabulous blues singer, below is a video of her infamous song "At Last."

Rest in peace Ms. Etta James.
