In the Big Fat Rumor of the Day, we’ve been hearing for weeks that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz were expecting a child together. Well now, those rumors have been all but confirmed! According to my sources, people over at “Hip Hop Weekly,” Alicia is pregnant right now. Here’s what they are reporting on their new issue – which hits stands in a few days, “Sources have come forward alleging that R&B singer Alicia Keys is pregnant by her boyfriend, hip hop producer Swizz Beatz.” They have been together since 2008 when Swizz and his wife at the time, singer Mashonda, announced that they were splitting up, and are also rumored to be engaged. While HHW cannot confirm the pregnancy at this time, the source is someone close to the couple. Good enough for a Big Fat Rumor, don’t ya think?

Christina Aguilera “Not Myself Tonight”

I’ll be honest, I kinda feel uncomfortable watching this alone. Oh. My. Goodness. WARNING: It’s got a couple of **f bombs** and it’s VERY SEXUAL!! But, it’s pretty hot, she looks great, but try explaining that to your son, Max. Wow…

Jessica Alba was trying to make fish sticks for her daughter Honor in a New York City hotel room on Wednesday. Unfortunately, she set off the smoke alarm, because she couldn’t figure out how to work the oven. Her rep says, “There was no fire, just some smoke that unfortunately set off the alarm.”

This is super cute.

the BEACH!!! It’s supposed to be 80 & SUNNY all weekend long! YES! You bet your bottom you will see me sunning it on the beach. Perhaps not in a bikini quite yet- but I will be out there!! Speaking of the beach, I took my pups to the beach last week. They L-o-v-e the beach! Here’s Moose (our Golden) with his summer cut:

Nala my little peke-a-poo loves to DIG & search for crab shells! She’s such a funny pup. She’s totally terrified of the water…

Self portrait:

Anyway, while I am sharing random pictures–check out where my cat decided to hide last night! What a funny kitty…

I know it’s hard to see but he’s hanging out in the WASHING MACHINE! What possessed him to get in there…no idea. I probably should’ve named this blog after my ANIMALS! Clearly I am obsessed with them & love them lots.

My brother was here the other night (yes, he can act like an animal too at times! HA!) He’s trying to become a Norfolk Firefighter. I want this to happen for him SO BADLY! So far he’s passed the written, physical & now he has to take the mental exam. I am guessing that will be the most challenging one for him. KIDDING Nick! I know, I am a mean big sister. But if he does make it into the fire department, he’s going to have to cut that shaggy do!

Have an AMAZING weekend & get out there & enjoy that gorgeous weather!!!

Live Large with Magnum Condoms

a Lady Gaga music video, no? Here’s a snippet of Christina A.’s new music video to Not Myself Tonight: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid10172910001?bctid=80190112001

But I guess we will see! I will still always be loyal to my Lady Gaga!

There are just some things you shouldn’t share. Like THIS: Jessica Simpson recently admitted that she only brushes her teeth THREE times a week!!! Whaaa!?! That’s NASTY baby!!!

She says:

“My teeth are so white and I don’t like them to feel too slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday. But I don’t brush them every day. My lips just slide all over the place….I can’t catch up with my mouth. I need a little coating….I know it’s gross but I always have fresh breath. It’s really weird but I have great breath.” via perezhilton.com

Yeahhh…I don’t buy that. I am pretty sure your breath & your teeth stink pretty darn bad. Just because they’re white because you bleach them doesn’t mean your breath smells good. I can’t go to bed without brushing my teeth! I hate that gritty feeling. YUCK!

Anyway, I am totally PSYCHED for Sandra Bullock! If you haven’t heard the news- head to Tricia Delicia’s Blog! She’s getting divorced from that Creepy McCreepster AND she’s adopted a baby boy!

Anyway, I am tiiiireeddd today. I woke up at 5:30AM to go to Zen Hot Yoga at 6 to get my Yoga in! I am SO glad I did it but I am totally dragging this afternoon. I need to make it a habit. I need to be ready to squeeze into that teeny weeney (ok, not TOO teeny) bikini this SUMMER!

On a totally random note I am going to share an OLD school picture of me! I used to go to Ukrainian school every Saturday morning (I’m a full blooded Uke btw!) And one Saturday morning we had to dress up in Traditional Ukrainian Clothing…can you tell which one I am!?

Yep…that’s me! The Jolly Green Giant of the class! Tallest girl with the least amused look on my face. Seriously- the look says it ALL!

More blogging to come this week! Love love.

Straight from “People” magazine….

In public, Sandra Bullock, has been through the best and worst of times this year – from winning her first Oscar, to enduring the breakup of her marriage. In private, she was quietly keeping a joyful secret – his name is Louis, and he is her newborn son.

“He’s just perfect, I can’t even describe him any other way,” Bullock reveals exclusively in the new issue of “People” announcing that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans. “It’s like he’s always been a part of our lives.”

Bullock, 45, and husband Jesse James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago and brought Louis home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. Their close friends and family – including James’s children Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15 – were essential in keeping the adoption a secret.

Then, just 10 days after the March 7 Oscars, Bullock and James separated following reports that Jesse cheated. Sandra says she is now finalizing the adoption as a single parent.

In today’s Big Fat Rumor of the Day, according to a number of people in Los Angeles, Puff Diddly Pooh and Nicki Minaj have a very close personal relationship and not just in a manger/artist sort of way. Diddy recently signed on to be Nicki’s manager – and since then he’s had Nicki held up in a luxurious LA hotel suite. I understand Puff has been up to the suite many nights and for many hours. Now fast forward to two nights ago. An insider claims that Diddy was all cuddled up with Nicki during T.I.’s welcome back dinner in Los Angeles. The insider claimed “They had that ‘we’re f***ing’ look to them.” And get this, Cassie was also there at the dinner – but Diddy virtually ignored her, and spent the entire evening with Nicki. And as Diddy and Nicki were leaving, paparazzi snapped these pictures and grabbed this very exciting :10 video of them leaving together.

She has filed for divorce from Jesse.

Courtney Love said yesterday that she used to sleep with Gavin Rossdale back in the day. And she claimed that she kept doing so even after he started dating Gwen Stefani! She said, “Everyone gave me so much crap because Gavin sounded a lot like Kurt (Cobain). But man, he was such an Adonis in his day! He got good in bed – something happened. Maybe Gwen taught him, for all I know.” Asked to clarify that she was having sex with Gavin after he took up with Gwen, Courtney said, “Yes. She does know.” Gavin and Gwen met in 1995, and got married in 2002.

Yesterday morning, Michael Lohan had apparently posted some insane messages about Lindsay on Twitter. He said that she was HIV-positive, and that she’d slept with record executive Tommy Mottola when she was just 17. Hello jail bait! Well, Michael swears he never posted those Tweets. He says he was hacked. He told “Us Weekly”, “Somebody was impersonating me. I’m disgusted. I would never ever say something like that about my daughter.” But Lindsay apparently believes her dad said that stuff. She said, “He’s a grown man and has done the exact same things on TV/interviews, so why wouldn’t he lie on Twitter, and everywhere else! He just wants money and he’s using me, my name, my status, my mother, brothers and sister for the cash to pay for another wedding.”

The American Idol Live! Tour kicks off July 1 in Detroit and will hit 47 cities. The tour comes to the Virginia Beach Amphitheater July 29th. Tickets go on sale beginning May 14 at www.LiveNation.com.

Last night on “Dancing With the Stars” it was Nicey Nash and Jake Pavelka in the bottom two. Saying his goodbyes through tears pouring out his eyes, it was Jake that was eliminated.

AUSTRALIA LOOKING FOR U.S. SPERM DONORS

The city of Townsville, Australia has turned to the US for sperm donations as Australia faces a critical shortage. And for all you economically-challenged, the Queensland Fertility Group, the largest fertility clinic in Townsville, pays more than $700 a pop (pun intended) for sperm imported from the U.S.

In the past, clinics used to rely on college students who were short on cash to donate sperm but these days not enough north Queensland (Northern Region) men, or even Australian men, are prepared to donate.

Infertility specialist Dr. Ron Chang says the decline is due to recent changes to the law that allows the conceived child to contact the donor (the father) when the child turns 18. “All the donors stopped coming in because they didn’t want a knock on the door in 18 years later,” he said. “I think children should have the right to know their biological parents, but it has a knock-on effect.”

The shortage has also prompted IVF clinics nationwide (in Australia) to get creative about attracting potential donors. New South Wales’ largest clinic, IVF Australia, launched an online advertising campaign with tag lines such as: “You’ve got millions to spare, we only need one.”

Has Making $700 Ever Been Easier Than This?
