  • Kelly Clarkson Reveals Sex Of Baby- It’s A…?

    Kelly Clarkson announced, via Twitter, that she was expecting her first child with her new hubby Brandon Blackstock, on November 19. “I’m pregnant!!! Brandon and I are so excited! Best early Christmas present ever :),” she tweeted.

    Before tying the knot with Blackstock in October, Clarkson admitted that they wanted to have children. “Like soon! Brandon, he’s a great dad and we wanted to make sure it’s cool with [his kids], but they are really pumped about it,” she said. “We actually, probably, want two more, and he’s got two, so four total. [The oldest] will be in her teens, so that’s kind of like a live-in baby sitter.”

    Blackstock already has two children from a previous marriage, and Clarkson says that is what made her want to have kids of her own. “We have two kids. And they’re so great,” she said. “I never wanted kids before, but now I want, like, five.”

    Now, Clarkson has revealed the sex of the baby. Drumroll please…it’s a…GIRL!

    Clarkson had predicted that she would be having a girl, shortly after announcing her pregnancy. “I’m totally gonna have a girl,” she said. “I’m manifesting it! And when I have a girl, you’re gonna be like, ‘That chick knew it!’”

    Again, she made the announcement via Twitter. “We just found out we’re having a girl officially! I knew it! Only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting ha!” she tweeted the exciting news.

  • Ke$ha’s Eating Disorder Almost Killed Her

    Ke$ha’s Eating Disorder Almost Killed Her

    Earlier this month, pop superstar Ke$ha checked herself into a rehab facility to get treatment for her eating disorder. Aside from that, we didn’t get much information on the subject…until now.

    During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Ke$ha’s mom Pebe Sebert opened up about her daughter’s extreme weight loss methods, and how they almost killed her.

    “I’ve watched my beautiful, self-confident, brilliant daughter be berated and ridiculed for her looks and weight to the point that she almost died,” Sebert says. “The doctors told me her blood pressure and sodium levels were so low, they’d never seen it that low except with someone who’d had a heart attack or stroke. They said it was a miracle she hadn’t already dropped dead on stage.”

    Ke$ha, who is now 26-years-old, has apparently been battling her body issues since she was in middle school, but Sebert said they got increasingly worse when she signed with producer Dr. Luke and her former manager David Sonenberg. “One time on a conference call, Sonenberg was screaming, ‘You need to lose weight! I don’t care what you do … take drugs, not eat, stick your finger down your throat!’ ” Sebert recalls. “Ke$ha was just weeping. She drove around afterward thinking about killing herself.”

    Sonenberg wasn’t the only one criticizing Ke$ha for her weight. “He [Dr. Luke] has just always been very disrespectful about her weight. He’d say it in certain ways, like ‘Why don’t you try running?’ She was doing everything and not getting thin fast enough, and that’s when she first became bulimic.” Obviously, Sonenberg and Dr. Luke both denied the allegations.

    Dr. Luke even had his rep release a statement on his behalf. “These statements and allegations concerning Dr. Luke are completely false,” the statement reads. “It is unfortunate that at a time Ke$ha is suffering immensely and trying to heal at a treatment center, her mother is taking this approach with the media. I give Ke$ha my utmost support and well wishes for a quick return to health.”

    Upon entering the rehab facility, Ke$ha released a statement of her own. “I’m a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself but I’ve found it hard to practice,” she wrote. “I’ll be unavailable for the next 30 days, seeking treatment for my eating disorder … to learn to love myself again. Exactly as I am.”

  • Harry Connick Jr. Cradles ‘American Idol’ Contestant

    ‘American Idol’ is, by all indications, trying to change its narrative this year. It (the year) might well be different, funnier, kinder, and more entertaining if Harry Connick Jr. gets his way at the judges table.

    ‘Idol’ viewership and rating plummeted last year and this may have prompted the changes witnessed in this year’s 13th season that kicked off on Wednesday night.

    Harry Connick Jr. was the new judge, bringing his charm and honest critiques to the panel. He seemed to take the fact that many of the contestants hardly knew him in stride. “Can you Google him right now?” someone asked, and another one called him “Tony Connick”

    When asked about what he did last night, he told judge Keith Urban that he went to the bar to drink “because nobody knew who I was.”

    But one fan, MunFarid Zaidi, recognized him and even told him that he reads his Wikipedia page every day before going to bed. The guy got out of his seat and picked up the 19-year-old Zaidi and cradled him.

    http://youtu.be/5azsTW4oxcE

    Connick was open about his approach and assessments of the auditions, “I don’t know what kind of judge I’m going to be other than to say I have to be honest.” He acknowledges that sending someone out of the room crying is one of the most terrible feelings, but he would do that if it is the right thing to say.

    It remains to be seen whether this year will be an improvement, but why not? The judges don’t seem to hate each other, Randy Jackson is out of the picture, tickets are smaller, and now we have Harry Connick who has raised the stakes on his Première.

    “American Idol’” continues next Wednesday and Thursday and viewers can catch the show on Fox at 8 p.m.

  • Chris Brown And His Bodyguard Will Not Take Plea Deal

    Singer Chris Brown on Wednesday declined a plea deal which would have reduced the charges facing him and his bodyguard to just one simple charge.

    The singer appeared before a Washington judge alongside his bodyguard Christopher Hollosy to face assault charges following an incident that took place outside the W Hotel on Oct. 2013. The 24-year-old star is accused of breaking the nose of a man who tried to take photos of him.

    Since no video surveillance from the incident has been entered into the evidence bank, Brown and Hollosy’s lawyers feel they stand a better chance with the case, at least for the time being.

    Both sides have agreed to meet again on Feb. 20 after their legal teams have reviewed the evidence. The time leading up to their next meeting will also give the legal teams ample time to negotiate a deal.

    Brown’s attorney Danny Onorato has requested a waiver of appearance for the singer for the Feb. 20 date because Brown is currently under anger management rehabilitation after he attacked his girlfriend, Rihanna. Appearing in court will force the singer to miss 3 days of treatment, hence delaying his completion of the program.

    The judge will decide whether Brown’s current charges will influence his jail term if found guilty. If convicted, Brown could face up to 180 days behind bars and a fine of not more than $1,000.

  • Chris Brown Is Back In Court, Rejects Plea Deal

    Chris Brown Is Back In Court, Rejects Plea Deal

    Chris Brown is certainly no stranger to acts of crime in his time as a popular celebrity. He has been making headlines again for his assault case that was brought about last October.

    The Grammy-winning R&B singer was brought into court in Washington D.C. in relation to his assault charges that he was previously given.

    During the trial, prosecutors offered the singer a plea deal in which they would bring down his misdemeanor assault charge if he plead guilty to simple assault.

    Brown and his bodyguard were both arrested at the time of the assault, and he was arrested early on the morning of October 27th outside of the W Hotel in D.C.

    They were arrested for getting into a fight with another man, and while they were both charged with felony assault originally, the charges were later reduced to misdemeanors.

    However, Chris Brown continues to assert his innocence and was unwilling to accept the plea. TMZ reports that Mark Geragos, his lawyer, refused the deal because Geragos believes his client did nothing wrong and is waiting to see surveillance footage obtained by police of the alleged incident.

    Law enforcement had surveyed the area looking for surveillance video capturing the run-in, and while they found nothing at first, they may have a video with important evidence that they have not yet turned over to Geragos.

    Brown did not speak during the hearing, and it only lasted for 10 minutes. When Chris Brown was arrested in Washington D.C, he was already on probation for an attack on Rihanna in 2009, his girlfriend at the time.

    As a result of the new charge, a judge in December revoked Brown’s probation in California, but the ruling didn’t alter a requirement that Brown complete rehab and community service including roadside cleanup and graffiti removal.

    Chris Brown is due back in court on February 20th in order to set a tentative trial date in the case. However, Geragos said that his laywers plan to ask for him to be able to miss the hearing in Washington because he loses three days of treatment by making the trip.

  • Carly Rae Jepsen Is Making Broadway Debut

    Carly Rae Jepsen Is Making Broadway Debut

    Grammy-nominated pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen will be making her Broadway debut, this coming year, in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Jepsen will be taking over the part of Cinderella from Laura Osnes, and will complete the 12-week run of the musical.

    “Broadway has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl,” said Jepsen, 28, “and I look forward to working with this incredibly talented cast to tell this classic tale.”

    Jepsen participated in musical theater in high school and then attended the Canadian College of Performing Arts after she graduated.

    “It was essentially musical theater training with studies in singing, dancing and acting,” she said by email on Sunday.

    “My favorite part of the school year was our trip to New York, where we met Broadway performers and toured the theaters.” She said her love for the fairytale is what made her decide to choose Cinderella for her debut. “It’s so hopeful and inspiring,” she said. “I’ve always been one to believe in the impossible, so I relate to her character completely.”

    Jepsen is also working on a new album that is scheduled to release sometime next year. Her last album Call Me Maybe was a worldwide hit, and sold over 10 million copies in 2012

  • Dolly Parton To Renew Wedding Vows For 50th Anniversary

    Dolly Parton’s 50th wedding anniversary is two years away, but the country music legend is already planning on how she will celebrate. Parton has revealed that she and her husband Carl Dean will be renewing their wedding vows to celebrate 50 years of marriage.

    “We’ve talked about that—we might do it all over again!” Parton told Closerweekly.com. “Another big wedding.” Parton and Dean were married May 30, 1966 in Georgia, when Parton was only 20 years old.

    The couple currently resides in Tennessee, and that is where Parton says the wedding will take place, seeing as though Dean doesn’t like to travel. “We will probably be at our big old plantation home. We love it there,” she said. “Carl doesn’t like to fly,” she revealed. “Once many, many years ago, he went with me to Hawaii, and he enjoyed that, but he never wanted to go anywhere else. He’s happy staying home and I’m happy traveling,” she explained. “We’re both pretty much old mountain goats.”

    Before Parton walks down the aisle again, she has a packed tour in store, that starts in January. The Blue Smoke World Tour will start in the United States and then will continue through Australia and Europe. “It’s always great to perform at home in the good ol’ USA. We’re kicking off our Blue Smoke World Tour right here at home. I love traveling all over the world; but it’s true, there’s nothing like home,” she said.

  • Kellie Pickler Does Duet With Fans In Afghanistan

    Donning camouflage leggings and sparkling boots, country music singer Kellie Pickler took to the stage in Afghanistan on Christmas day to sing to U.S. troops.

    The 27 year old “American Idol” finalist and winner of “Dancing With the Stars” is among America’s favorite current country singers. As troops spend their thirteenth Christmas in Afghanistan, Pickler visited them for the holidays to show her appreciation. While there, she shook hands, handed out gifts, took pictures, and even got a few of the fans involved in the singing while she performed for them:

    But blonde bombshells and virgin eggnog in the midst of war aren’t all that struck U.S. soldiers as surreal during their stay. The bases of which the troops are in charge are slowly disintegrating; the U.S. is planning to withdraw them imminently and the chances of spending another Christmas there are reduced – especially if an agreement is signed with the Afghan government. Meanwhile, those who arrived ready for war, found themselves in a far different scenario than anticipated.

    While waiting in line for Kellie Pickler on Christmas Eve, Spec. Jeremy Kortuem shared with the Washington Post, “We came here for the war, but we arrived just in time for it to be over.”

    Spec. James Pegram also was surprised to arrive in the middle of more commercialization and less combat. “I was expecting more bang-bang and less TGI Fridays,” he admitted, referencing the surrounding fast food establishments, athletic arenas, and miscellaneous shops.

    However, for the families of Americans who have lost their lives in the past ten days alone – like the six who perished in the Zabul providence helicopter crash, and for those involved in the U.S. embassy that was hit by rockets on Christmas morning – this deployment likely seems a bit less anticlimactic.

    In the midst of such extremes, a country singer did what she could. She arrived to offer American troops a temporary escape from the painful reality of war, and they certainly were grateful. Perhaps not everyone present knew Kellie Picker’s name prior to her scheduled arrival, but they definitely do now.

  • Taylor Swift’s 5th Album Will Debut Next Year

    Taylor Swift has won countless awards, and has even been nominated for several Grammy awards, this year for her fourth studio album Red. While Red was a huge success, Swift talks about how she wants to make her next album, due out next year, even better.

    During recent interviews with Billboard and Entertainment Weekly, Swift opened up about her ideas for her fifth album, and how she is really enjoying collaborating with different artists.

    “I’m really loving collaboration right now,” Swift told Billboard . “I see it as a bit of an apprenticeship. I want to be around people who love writing songs and have done it for years. Every time I’m in a studio I’m learning, like how to build a drum track, and getting a new perspective on things. It’s so thrilling to keep learning on your fifth album.”

    Swift describes each of her albums as a reinvention, and says she likes it when the fans don’t know what to expect. “As soon as (an album) comes out I’m figuring out what the next one will be. It’s gotten to the point where each one is a reinvention, which is what I like best. I like it when it sounds new and people don’t know where you’re going to go next.”

    While Swift doesn’t give many details for her upcoming album, she did hint around at what her inspiration, for the album, will be this time around. “At the core of what I do, it’s always going to revolve around a confessional storyline and filling my fans in on what my life has actually been,” Swift explains. “It’s become this lifeline between me and my friends and they know that no matter what they read in some magazine, they’re going to hear the actual accounting of it when the album comes out. I’ve always written songs for the same reason — to sort through my emotions. As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing — hopefully.”

  • Tessanne Chin: Season 5 Winner Of “The Voice”

    Tessanne Chin couldn’t be happier after winning the 5th season of NBC’s “The Voice” in Tuesday night’s live two-hour finale. Chin, a 28-year-old member of coach Adam Levine’s team and former singer for legendary reggae artist Jimmy Cliff, also wins a recording contract. ‘A better coach for me I could not find,’ Tessanne told coach Adam moments before the win.

    http://youtu.be/gHKPV9eMs-E

    The runner up was 16-year-old Jacquie Lee from coach Christina Aguilera’s team while Will Champlin finished third. Champlin was a member of coach Adam Levine’s team as well and his dad was a Chicago band member.

    For Tessanne, the win means the Jamaican native will finally realize her dream of becoming an international singer. According to Tessanne, she did not expect to win especially after she almost gave up on her dream of becoming a singer before trying out for the competition.  “I feel like, is this really happening, you know? This can’t be real. Like unbelievable. Unbelievable.” she said. “I was literally at the end of a road, you know, and coming to a place in my life where I was like, am I going to keep doing this and feeling like I’m not getting anywhere? Or am I going to give this another shot? And thank God, thank God I was able to give it another shot.”

    It appeared as though no one was more proud than her couch Adam Levine, who now adds a second win to his record on the show. Adam said he had to change tactics in order to win this time. His new approach was to downsize  his other commitments so that he could devote more time to building his team’s confidence.

    The evening was also graced by performances from Lady Gaga who performed “Do What U Want” and Celine Dion who sung “Incredible” from her latest Album “Loved Me Back to Life.”

  • Erykah Badu Is New Face Of Givenchy

    Erykah Badu Is New Face Of Givenchy

    Erykah Badu has been selected to model for Givenchy’s Spring 2014 campaign. The brand’s creative director Riccardo Tisci has a creative eye when he casts the models for the photo-shoots, and calls the singer/songwriter one of the most stylish women he has ever met.

    During a recent interview with Style.com, Tisci explained his ideas for the new campaign, and why he chose Badu as the newest face of Givenchy. “She’s an icon — come on!” , Tisci said. “What I want to do with my advertising campaign is spread the love. Already now it’s been three seasons that I’ve been using people that express something — they are great artists, or beautiful women, or stylish women, or models that I really believe in. It’s kind of a family portfolio.” Tisci continued: “She’s one of the most stylish women I’ve met in my life. She’s got such a good sense of proportion, of colors.”

    For his latest campaign, Tisci has decided to only use women of color for the photo-shoots. “It’s 2013. Everybody’s being so cool about Instagram, about Facebook, any media — everybody’s being so open. At the end of the day, why are not so many black girls or Latin girls in shows? When you have an American president who is black! When I see this happening, it’s quite sad, I think. People can be so avant-garde, so advanced, but actually not, because people are still making differences between skin color.”

    “My family portfolio concept is carrying on. This season, I decided to invite my dream icon, the respected Erykah Badu, to my stage,” Tisci explained. “As well as the young beauty Asia Chow, talent of tomorrow. And my new discoveries: Black goddesses Maria Borges and Riley and model Dominik Bauer. I am very happy, we did our job while spending good family time.”

  • Fergie Says She Wants Another Baby

    Fergie Says She Wants Another Baby

    While hosting the Wet N Wild and Walgreens event on Thursday, December 5 at Tao Downtown in New York City, reporters caught up with Fergie to discuss her plans to extend her family and give her baby boy Axl a sibling.

    While still a bit overwhelmed by the new life of motherhood, Fergie admits that having another child, especially a daughter, would be amazing. “Of course, that would be amazing. I’m still trying to find my footing,” Fergie explained. “I’m still figuring out how to balance it all. I’m kind of walking like this,” she said. “But I think that’s something all new moms can relate to.”

    Fergie’s husband, Josh Duhamel, is singing the same tune. “Yeah, I think we definitely want more kids,” Duhamel said. “Especially after as well as this one has gone — the pregnancy, and now that we have this beautiful little boy, we both definitely want to have another one.” However, he says there is no rush…that it will happen when it happens.

    Both parents have already found out that their sweet little boy is a genius. “He’s starting to try to talk to me and sing with me,” Fergie said. “I’ll sit there and I’ll sing songs to him and he’ll just look at me and he’ll laugh and he’ll try to chime in. He makes these really weird sounds! And I’ll just clap like the proud mama I am.” “He’s reading!” Duhamel laughed. “Three months, that’s pretty early! I mean, I have to read him the book and he kind of spits up and loses interest after a minute, but other than that he’s reading.”

  • Susan Boyle Reveals Her One-Year Battle with Asperger Syndrome

    Scottish singer Susan Boyle says she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome last year after visiting a specialist for more serious matters surrounding brain damage she allegedly sustained at birth.

    The misdiagnosis has been a bit of relief for the 52-year-old who was told that complications at birth caused the non-existent brain damage.

    “It was the wrong diagnosis when I was a kid,” she says. “I was told I had brain damage. I always knew it was an unfair label. Now I have a clearer understanding of what’s wrong and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself.”

    As a child, Boyle was the victim of bullying in school because she was viewed as “different.” Now, her newfound awareness has given her a better perspective of the many emotional roller-coasters she has endured over the years.

    Although her voice has captivated many, the singer’s tendency to lash out hasn’t been too appealing.

    Asperger’s, a higher form of Autism, affects social interaction, communication skills and the ability for a person to form relationships. For Boyle unfortunately, her mood swings and anxiety sometimes make it hard for her to get along with those around her.

    However, her IQ is above average; so the odds are not completely against her.

    Boyle initially made her way to fame following her TV appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009. Her rendition of the Les Miserables number, “I Dreamed a Dream,” has earned her worldwide fans.

    She recently released her fourth album, Home for Christmas, and will soon debut her role in The Christmas Candle.

    Despite her struggles, Boyle will not let this stop her from going forth with her performance career.

    “Asperger’s doesn’t define me,” she said. “It’s a condition that I have to live with and work through, but I feel more relaxed about myself. People will have a much greater understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do.”

  • Stevie Nicks Talks American Horror Story: Coven

    Stevie Nicks has had quite a career as a singer/songwriter. Through her work with Fleetwood Mac, and her own solo career, she has sold over 140 million albums worldwide. Despite her extensive singing career, she says that her appearance on American Horror Story: Coven, is one of the most interesting things that she has ever done.

    When Nicks first got the script for the episode she would appear in, she says she was “horrified and terrified”. “I got there on Saturday, I got the script on Saturday night. My assistant Karen read it out loud to me,” Nicks said. “I was horrified and terrified and scared because it’s such a scary thing,” Stevie continued. “I was really terrified and scared because I was reading it at Saturday night at two or three in the morning and I was supposed to go in there on Monday and have some idea of what the script had said.”

    Nicks also took the time to explain the thought behind her role in the show. Lily Rabe’s, Misty Day, character is obsessed with Nicks and her music. “[Ryan] saw my music as Lily’s muse he saw this as this girl in the swamp, who was obviously raised by wolves or somebody and didn’t know anybody and had never met anybody – ever, in her life – and she was just out there in the swamp healing people and animals. And she had an 8-track of a bunch of Fleetwood Mac records and Stevie Nicks records and that’s all she listened to. So when she was upset, kind of like we all do, if you’re having a bad day, you put on your favorite artist and listen to them and they cheer you up,” she explained.

    Nicks had previously worked with Ryan Murphy, the series creator, on his other show, Glee. Nicks pitched the idea of a possible cameo on American Horror Story: Coven, not realizing that she would quickly be on a plane headed to the set for filming her part. “‘If you want me to just do a walk-thru, I can wear a really long black dress and look stunningly tall and fantastic,’” she told Ryan. “The next thing I know, I’m going to New Orleans.”

    In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ryan informs us that Nicks will be back for another episode, although he doesn’t give us much inside into the episode.

    “We have Stevie for another,” Ryan said. “Stevie will be in episode 10 and then we have Stevie for another one, doing an idea that she came up with that I thought was too perfect to say no to. Hilariously, Stevie read some of the scripts and called up and said “Are you aware that one of the things you’re doing I actually wrote a song about?” I’m like, “You’ve got to be kidding.” Then I remembered the song. We have something cool that was her idea.”

  • Bob Dylan Is Being Investigated For Racial Comment

    The legendary singer/songwriter, Bob Dylan, is being sued by a France-based Croatian organization for an alleged comment that he made last year during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Dylan is being accused of comparing the conflict of the Serbs and Croats to the Jewish persecution by the Nazis.

    “It’s a distraction. People at each other’s throats just because they are of a different color. It’s the height of insanity, and it will hold any nation back – or any neighborhood back,” Dylan was quoted as saying. “Or any anything back. Blacks know that some whites didn’t want to give up slavery – that if they had their way, they would still be under the yoke, and they can’t pretend they don’t know that. If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood. It’s doubtful that America’s ever going to get rid of that stigmatization. It’s a country founded on the backs of slaves.”

    Vlatko Maric, secretary general of the Representative Council of the Croatian Community and Institutions, said that his organization started the case close to a year ago. Dylan was informed of the investigation last month shortly after receiving one of Paris’ most prestigious awards, the Legion of Honour.

    Maric explained the organization’s decision to sue Dylan. “An entire people is being compared to criminal organizations like the Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan,” he said. “The Croatians are peaceful people who respect Bob Dylan as an artist, but we must remind him that he can’t make such remarks. We have nothing against him, but the Croatians do not want to be insulted.”

    So far, Dylan has not commented on the situation.

  • Wynonna Judd Talks Husband’s Near Death Experience

    Newlyweds should not have to worry about near-death experiences. They shouldn’t have to spend their honeymoon in a hospital, and they shouldn’t have to be concerned about whether or not their partner will ever be able to walk again. Even though all of these things shouldn’t happen to a newly married couple, it is exactly what happened to Wynonna Judd and her husband, Michael “Cactus” Moser.

    Two months after the couple shared their vows, Moser was in a terrible motorcycle accident that led to him having his leg amputated. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Judd described the details of the accident, and how she actually witnessed his leg shatter all over the road.

    It was the best day…70 degrees, beautiful sky, we have a gig that night…loving each other and a Harley ride with friends and just this beautiful open space in South Dakota. Roads for miles. Wind in the hair, he’s ten feet in front of me and it went from that to, the sound like a tornado that you never forget. I will never forget that smell nor that sound coming from two vehicles colliding, and me going on past him thinking, ‘Is he alive or dead? I have no idea. I dropped my bike and I run back and he’s just lying there. I hear nothing. And then I heard the most beautiful sound on earth and that is him breathing. And I got on my belly and looked right in his eyes ’cause I knew if he closed his eyes that he would bleed out and that was it. I was 10 feet behind him when the accident happened and I saw the leg shatter and go all over the road.

    Judd immediately jumped to action and decided, from then on, she would be the one to nurse him back to health.

    “You just feel so helpless. All you can do is hold his hand or tell him a story or just be there,” Judd said. “I became his nurse, my glasses at the end of my nose, pushing saline up into the gaping wounds and wrapping them. I became a nurse like my mother. I went from wearing the cute newlywed clothes to wearing cotton that had crap all over it, hair in a ponytail, and rolling up my sleeves for the man I love. The bottom line is it makes [you] or breaks you. You realize that you’re bonded in a life. When I said I do, I never dreamed I would go through as much as I did as soon as I did.”

    Judd says that nothing will ever come between them and describes their relationship as “bulletproof”. Although she didn’t think they would be at their worse only two months into their marriage, Judd says that she vowed to stand by her husband for better or for worse, and that is what she has been doing.

    “It made us so strong that I dare anyone to try and come between us. We are almost bulletproof at this point. If it ever does fall apart, it’s because the two of us are not communicating. Nobody has come between us, not even our children,” she said. “When they say ‘your better half’ I would say I was his ‘other half.’ I would literally stand in the shower and be his left side. For better or for worse; I was thinking for better or for worse like when were eighty years old. I didn’t expect it to be two months into our marriage.”

  • David Lucado Is In Love With Britney Spears

    It is nice to finally see Britney Spears happy and settling down with a man she reportedly “loves”. Two months after her separation from her former agent and fiancé, Jason Trawick, Spears met her new love, David Lucado. Now, after eight months, Spears is confessing her love for Lucado and says she can even see them getting married one day and having children together.

    “I’d like to have more kids, settle down…have kids—maybe twins—and get married,” Spears said. “That would be nice.” Spears already has two children, 7-year-old, Sean Preston, and 6-year-old, Jayden James, by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

    ET’s Rob Marciano had a hear-to-heart with Spears on her flourishing relationship. “I’m in love … I like the fact that he’s very stubborn and he’s stuck in his ways.,” Spears said. “He’s just a simple man. I adore him. He’s really funny and he’s really passionate. I love the fact that anything he’s involved in he’s passionate about and it’s contagious.”

    Spears and Lucado met through mutual friends, and once he learned about their relationship, Spears’ father ran a background check on Lucado. “My dad’s a little crazy like that,” Spears said. As the old saying goes…better safe than sorry.

    After accruing more than $2 million in debt, Aaron Carter has made the tough decision to file bankruptcy.

    Bankruptcy never sounds like a good thing, however Carter’s publicist, Steve Honig, says it is a positive step for Carter, and will allow him to move forward with his life. “This is not a negative thing,” Honig told CNN. “It’s actually very positive. It’s him doing what he needs to do to move forward.”

    Honig also said that the majority of Carter’s debt is back taxes from when he was a minor and teen idol. “The bulk of the debt is from over 10 years ago when he was a minor and not in control of his finances,” Honig said. “This has happened to a lot of people who had fame at such at a very early age.” Honig added, “Most of that is an IRS tax debt. It’s very old debt from when his money wasn’t in his control. This is not recent problems that happened in the last couple of years, it’s going way back.”

    The brother of Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter is currently on his first tour in over eight years. He hit a rough patch in 2011 and had to enter a rehab facility, but now Honig says he is sober and trying to put his past behind him.

    “Aaron is really making smart decisions and taking control of his life,” said Honig. “He’s clean and sober, finishing his 75-city sold-out tour. And even though this is a negative story, this really is a positive step for him because it’s him being able to put his past problems behind him and move forward.”

  • Kelly Clarkson Is Pregnant With Her First Child

    Kelly Clarkson has just announced to the world that she is pregnant. The former American Idol star is expecting her first child with her husband, Brandon Blackstock.

    Clarkson made it no secret that she wanted to get pregnant earlier this year, when saying that wanted to be pregnant by Christmas, and now her wish has come true.

    Although the baby will not make it in time for the holidays, it will certainly be a gift to the couple knowing that they have a baby on the way.

    The news also comes quickly, since the couple just got married on Ocotober 20th, in an intimate ceremony in Tennessee.

    While Kelly Clarkson did not always want to start a family when growing up, she certainly did not waste any time in declaring that she wanted one after her marriage with Blackstock. She revealed her big excitement for the pregnancy when talking to Parade Magazine.

    Clarkson clearly wants her first child to be a girl too, and said “I’m totally gonna have a girl. I’m manifesting it! And when I have a girl, you’re gonna be like, ‘That chick knew it!”

    Her husband already has two children from his previous relationship, but Clarkson would love a biological child of her own.

    She grew up with an uneasy childhood after her parents split up when she was only five years old, hindering her family life at a young age. Due to their early divorce, her idea of a family had been ruined at a young age, making her remark “I didn’t really grow up in a family environment. So I didn’t understand it or know if I could do that properly.”

    Kelly Clarkson has grown a lot since that age, and changed her mind about the idea of starting a family. It must also help to see her husband interacting with his kids, and knowing that he would be a great dad when they did start their own family together. She said that he is a great dad, and that it is a turn on to see him with the kids.

  • Justin Bieber: ‘I’m Happy With the Man I’m Becoming’

    Justin Bieber has been making headlines lately with this “bad boy” attitude and behavior, but during a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Bieber said that he is “happy with the man he is becoming and he doesn’t “give a f—” what people say.

    “I don’t give a f—.” he said. “Not ‘I don’t give a f—‘ to just be reckless and do whatever, but ‘I don’t give a f— what they say.” He continued, “I know who I am and what I’m doing in my life and what I’ve accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I’m happy with the man I’m becoming.”

    Everyone knows that happiness does not sell the way negative stories do, and Bieber says that is why people are hearing all about the negative in his life and not the positives.

    “When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they’re gonna buy it,” he said. “Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic. Now they have all the Beliebers on their site, which gives them money from advertisers. They’re just worried about money. They don’t care about ruining someone’s name.”

    Maybe Bieber has decided to put his vandalism/graffiti ways away and has decided to act like an adult. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
