Kim Kardashian Pregnant With Kanye West's Baby!

Kim Kardashian has something to look forward to in 2013: the birth of her first child!

The E! reality star is three months pregnant with boyfriend Kanye West's child, Us Weekly has confirmed. The musician announced their baby news while performing at Revel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Dec. 30. The "Heard Em' Say" rapper told the crowd to "stop the music and make noise for my baby mama," referring to his girlfriend, who was in the audience.

This will be the first child for both Kim, 32, and West, 35, who began dating in the spring of 2012. They two had been friends for several years, though both were in relationships at the time. (Kim is still married to NBA player Kris Humphries; she filed for divorce in October 2011.)

Shortly after West shared the news with fans Dec. 30, Kim's family members expressed their happiness via Twitter. "Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family," tweeted Kourtney Kardashian, mom to son Mason and daughter Penelope (with partner Scott Disick). "Overwhelmed with excitement!"

Tweeted Khloe Kardashian-Odom, "Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited! Love is everything!" The X Factor co-host's husband, Lamar Odom, added, "I'm excited for Kanye and my sister! There's nothing like bringing life into this world! Let's keep God's blessings coming!"

Kim spoke candidly about her desire to have West's children during a September appearance on The View. "At the space that I am in life now, kids are definitely something I want," she said. "I think I wanted that before. I think I fell in love so quickly and wanted that to be my life so badly but I just didn't take the time to find someone."

Review of the book The 5 Money Personalities by Scott and Bethany Palmer

I was excited to try get this book and read it because money is source of tensions in our marriage and this book has solutions to help couples fix money problems.

I first figured out my money personality which was Security Seeker which talks about how a person with this personality is predictable. And how this person can be up for an adventure as long as he can plan it. That person has no problem spending money but wants to make sure he is spending wisely. They like to know the future is settled and safe. They are all about planning, consistency, and clear expectations. When it comes to money, the Security Seeker's motto is the safer, the better. He loves a sense of order and predictability.  

And what makes the couples fight is how each person is a different personality and how to manage being different and coming together, and the main point of the book is about to be honest and talk about issues because if we sit down and talk about things honestly and not hide things then the marriage won't have any problems. I really liked this book and would recommend it to my friends, Money can affect anyone, some like to spend more and not care and others like to save more. My husband is more the saver and I am more the spender so that causes fights in our marriage. He wants to save up for a big purchase like a tv. Which we do not need right now.

Tatum, Jenna Dewan-Tatum Expecting a Baby

Life is about to get a little more magical for Magic Mike star Channing Tatum.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum the actor's wife of three years, is pregnant, their rep tells Us Weekly. "Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum are pleased to announce that they are expecting the birth of their first child next year."

"It was a total surprise," an insider tells Us of the pregnancy, adding that Tatum, 32, is taking a full year off to be with his expectant spouse and their baby-to-be, due sometime in 2013. (Incidentally, the 21 Jump Street actor told Entertainment Weekly recently that he wanted to step back from acting to focus on a few behind-the-scenes projects with his production partner, Reid Carolin, who wrote the screenplay for Magic Mike.)

The  couple met on the set of Step Up in 2006 and married in Malibu, Calif., on July 11, 2009. Earlier this year, Dewan, 32, opened up to Us Weekly about their plans for a family.

"I would hope so!" the dancer-turned-actress told Us in January when asked if kids were in the couple's future. "I just don't know when. When it's meant to be, it will happen."

Man Arrested for Trying to Break Into Taylor Swift’s House

A 24-year-old man took the bus from Wisconsin to Nashville with a very specific plan — to spend Taylor Swift's birthday with her. It didn’t work out quite like he had hoped.

Jacob Kulke was arrested for trespassing at the singer’s Nashville residence at 1:45AM Friday morning (Dec. 14). He hopped the fence, but was then detained by security. When the authorities arrived, he told them that he was dating Swift.

TMZ reports that Kulke said he used social media to get in contact with someone at Swift’s house, and that he was on his way to help celebrate her birthday with her. Swift turned 23 on Thursday, Dec. 13.
Kulke was booked, jailed and then held on $10,000 bond.

The man — who is rumored to have had a pocketknife on him at time of arrest — has a shadowy past. He was convicted of battery, disorderly conduct and drug possession in 2010 and placed on 13 months probation. Lucky for Swift, he was apprehended quickly this time around, and didn’t get a chance to come in contact with her. The ‘Begin Again’ singer was not home when the break-in occurred, and in fact was out of the country.

Recently, Swift acknowledged that since becoming famous, she has been stalked by several people, but that “it’s the price you pay for getting to do what you love.” She added, “You can let it take over your life and make you fearful all the time, or you can live your life in spite of it.”

Taylor Swift Makes Country Chart History With ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’

Taylor Swift's ‘Red’ hot year continues to blaze, sizzle and scorch. The singer, who will celebrate her 23rd birthday this coming Thursday (Dec. 13), has another reason to throw a party –  her smash hit single, ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ has been parked in the No. 1 slot on Billboard’s Top Country Songs chart for nine weeks, setting a new record for most weeks in the top slot by a female artist.

Swift and ‘WANEGBT’ break a record that has been held for nearly 50 years with this feat. Connie Smith held the torch for a whopping 48 years, landing at No. 1 for eight weeks with her debut single ‘Once a Day’ back in 1964.

It’s worth nothing that Buck Owens passed the nine-week mark with his 1963 smash ‘Love’s Gonna Live Here,’ which sat in the top spot for 16 weeks. So, he is the male artist with the longest hold on No. 1, while Swift shares the same accolade for her gender.

‘WANEGBT’ is a true hit for Swift in many ways, having been nominated  by the Grammys for Record of the Year, as well. Congrats to Taylor Swift on yet another remarkable achievement with ‘Red.’

Were Pawn Stars' Father-Son Duo Fined $1000 for Trash?

Pawn Stars' father-and-son duo Rick and Corey Harrison found themselves on the wrong side of the law after failing to pick up after themselves on a California campground.

According to TMZ, the Harrisons went camping in Glamis, Calif., over Thanksgiving weekend with friends and left behind several bags' worth of trash, specifically beer cans, garbage and a BBQ grill. Authorities knew the Pawn Stars duo was responsible for the mess because of an incident earlier that weekend.

Officials told TMZ that the reality stars were fined $1,000 a person for leaving the trash behind. However, Corey Harrison told the site a different story: "We left the campground before our buddies did and they were to clean it up and apparently didn't follow through. My father nor I were cited."

Review of the book An Amish Kitchen by Beth Wiseman, Kelly Long, Amy Clipston

This book surpised me because I thoughg it was one giant book but the book had 3 indivual stories to read inside.

The first book was about A girl named Fern who lived with her mom and was trying to find a suitable husband for herself and in the end ends up doing that and her husband ends up being someone she never thought she would end up with. The second book is about a woman named Hannah who runs a bed and breakfast and also ends up finding someone to marry and love. The third book is about a husband and wife who have 3 kids and end up having to spend time with their mother and father in law after their house gets torn up by a tree falling on it.

I enjoyed both books and ended up reading them really fast. I read the whole book, or all 3 books in about 2 hours. I just sat in front of the tv and read this book. I enjoy reading about Amish life and find it interesting and have also read books written by Beth Wiseman before and enjoy them as well. She is one of my favorite authors. Sometimes the people we end up are not who we thought. I found my husband early on, he was my first and only boyfriend and then husband. We may fight now and then but we truly love each other and everyone can see that. My aunt told me early on how much my husband loved me.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested Again After Club Fight in NYC

It's a sentence you've heard many times before: Lindsay Lohan was arrested early this morning.

Yes, again. 

The "Liz & Dick" star allegedly punched a woman in the face at the Manhattan nightclub Avenue at 4 a.m. on Thursday morning, a spokesperson for the NYPD confirms to omg!. The 26-year-old actress was arrested and charged with assault. She was later released after being issued a desk appearance ticket for a future unspecified date. Lindsay exited the police precinct at about 8 a.m. wearing the green dress she wore out the night before (with the front unzipped to nearly her waist) and a jacket over her head.

The woman she allegedly hit was not expected to face charges, reports NBC New York.

A rep for Lindsay, who also attended a Justin Bieber concert on Wednesday night, has not yet responded to omg!’s request for comment. 

Lindsay just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Still on probation for a 2011 necklace theft, she has had three other run-ins with police in New York since September. They include a hit and run (charges were later dropped), a fight with a man in her hotel room (charges against him were later dropped), and a domestic dispute with her mother, Dina Lohan, in which Lindsay alleged that the 50-year-old was high on cocaine (no charges were filed). Lindsay later said she lied about her mother's drug use.

Back in Los Angeles, Lindsay crashed her rented Porsche into a truck in June, then allegedly lied to police saying she wasn’t driving. Charges are still pending on that case, but she reportedly will have her probation revoked.

There have been other incidents as well this year that didn’t involve police, including an unpaid hotel bill in the amount of $46,350 at Chateau Marmont (it was later settled), and a $140,203 tax lien (her “Scary Movie 5” co-star Charlie Sheen gave her money to settle her debt with the IRS, the actor's rep confirmed to E!).
Lindsay keeps saying that she wants people to focus on her acting career, not her drama-filled personal life, but she's not giving us much of a choice. She made one TV movie this year (which was largely panned) and has had at least five police run-ins. (We won’t even get into the time paramedics were called to her hotel room after she was found "unresponsive.")


Perhaps one day she'll save the drama for work – but we just can't see that happening anytime soon

Review of the book Bold as Love by Bob Roberts, Jr

I didn't really enjoy this book because while this person claimed to be a preacher, he misapplied many parts of the bible and when he claims to be preaching to people, he isn't even telling them the truth.

I do like the quote on page 16 which reads " We cannot practice this bold love of people unless we first focus on GOD. I reach out to someone I don't know, not because I love that person-I probably don't, because I don't even know him or her- but because my bold love is directed at Jesus and following his commands to love others." I also like the quote on page 87 which reads " Non-Christians are used to empty promises groups. Who's for real? How can they tell how serious we are? Only sweat equity will tell them how serious we are. "

I also like the quote on page 114 which says " When I'm asked hard questions about my faith that can be controversial or seem politically incorrect, I do my best to stay calm, smile, and answer the questions honestly." I like this because the bible answers questions such as is it ok to the gay, is abortion right or wrong,etc. And people make not like the answer but the bible clearly answers all and any questions we may have. 

My one major complaint is how the author says that Jesus and GOD are one person and talks about the trinity but that is simply not true. There are many examples in the bible that show otherwise. GOD had the virgin mary give birth to the son Jesus and perform miracles on the earth. Another example is how Jesus got baptized at one point and Jehovah GOD sang down from Heaven how proud he was of his son.

Review of the book Chocolate Covered Baloney by KD McCrite

I really enjoyed this story. Its a family story about how a family deals with struggles and change. The story is from a girls point of view of living with her sister, baby brother, mom and dad and a grandma. And halfway through the story she meets her other grandma and instantly doesn't like her. But learns more about her and they end up becoming friends. I liked this book because I read in a day and I could not put it down. I would definitely end up recommending this to my friends. I think its nice that booksneeze.com lets us read a variety of books for our benefit and we truly enjoy reading books and writing a review on them. I was always friends with my grandma, I was her favorite lol and we always got along because when my dad was losing my grandfather, his father and his sister, my aunt my grandma his mom was there for me, taking care of my sister and me and my cousin and lived with us for a very long time.They got us to school and to swim practice and wherever we needed to go. I remember being mad at my dad at the time because he missed my choir performance to be my aunt his sister who was dying but later on I look back and realize he was doing the most important thing and I was being selfish and rude. Those things that seem important at the time, really are not.

Review of the book Lifted By Angels by Joel Miller

 **This review might offend some people. If you get offended after reading this then please do not leave a rude comment. I will simply ban you and delete your comment. Thanks**

I was excited at first to receive and review this book because I enjoy reading spiritual things and I enjoy reading books about angels and I enjoy reading the bible. I now have mixed reviews on the book.

My first complaint I have about the book is how it talks about Trinity but GOD, Jesus are two separate people. The bible clearly states that GOD's name is Jehovah and that he had a son born through the virgin Mary named Jesus Christ. In Acts chapter 7 and verses 55,56 stephen says that he saw Jesus standing at GOD's right hand. And the chapter Matthew talks about Jesus getting on his knees and praying to his father, if he is his father who is he praying too? And there are many more examples I could get into.

I did like how the author does get a few stories in the bible correct involving GOD and angels such as the chapter on Adam and Eve. He described it exactly as in the bible. But he messed up the story of Lot and his family. When the angel rescued Lot and his family, he told them not to look back, to look straight ahead, but his wife when fleeing, looked back and for her punishment turned into a pillar of salt, so she did not make it out alive. That happpened because she was not supposed to have a desire for things of the past. Another thing the author got wrong was how Jesus went into hell to fight with Satan after he died. Hell does not exist and we do not go there to be punished. When we die, we are sleeping, conscious of nothing which we can see by the scripture Ecc 5:9,10 which says the the living are conscious that they will die, but as for the dead, the are conscious of nothing at all.

The author did get the story of Daniel and the lion correct as well as the story of Abraham and Jacob and Mary and Joseph, and the story of Jesus fasting for 40 days and being tempted by Satan.

I was frustrated with the book because he said alot of things that were simply not true or correct of certain scriptures that many people take and misapply to make it sound to what they want. Also they way the book was written was hard to understand and you made you feel like you were stupid when going through the book, like you needed higher education to get it yet the bible is very easy to understand and even the lowestly people can understand it and learn the truth about GOD and be happy. I will probably throw this book out honestly and not share it with anyone.

Khloe Kardashian On Getting In Shape For X Factor

Khloe Kardashian is going to be a co-host on the new season of X Factor and so she decided to lose some weight.

She wants to look her best on camera!

But that meant giving up a lot, including her favorite food: cheese!

She said she loves "cheese on anything, I don't care. [I] binge eat."

Aside from cheese she also cut out most sweets but plans on making some real lifestyle changes too.
She said:

"It's always going to be a lifelong thing for me. And I'm not where I want to be. When I used to do things like crash diets or things too fast, it never stuck because it wasn't a lifestyle change. So for this, I'm working out consistently like three to five days a week … It's been harder. But I'm just changing my diet slowly."
That's the only way to sustain weight loss!

She's on the right track!

We're sure she's gonna look great for the show!

Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian Slam "Hurtful Lies" About Their Men

Khloe and Lamar headed for a divorce over pregnancy troubles? Kim rushing to wed Kanye and get pregnant? Kourtney and Scott on the brink of a breakup after baby number three?

Please.

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian open up in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now, about the seemingly un-ending rumors and tabloid stories about their high-profile love lives.

"It's so sad when some publications make up such hurtful lies," X Factor host Khloe, 28, tells Us. (One magazine claims that Khloe's husband, NBA star Lamar Odom, plans to leave his wife because she's hasn't yet conceived a child.)

Khloe's sister Kim, 32, meanwhile, is allegedly "pregnant and alone" yet planning a "surprise wedding" to Kanye West, according to one magazine's confusing recent cover stories. Counters the reality superstar, whose divorce from Kris Humphries isn't yet final: "I'm happy with my life the way that it is."

Review of the book Dear Deb by Margaret Terry

 **This review might offend some people. If you get offended after reading this then please do not leave a rude comment. I will simply ban you and delete your comment. Thanks**

This book was about a woman who had a friend that was battling cancer and decided to write letters to her friend to encourage her in the last days. I enjoyed reading about the letters and funny stories the woman wrote about her family and life because I felt like even though the letters were for Deb, I could relate to them about my life.

I liked the quote on page xvi which reads " we hug the same people every Sunday for years , we watch their children grow, and we share their trials and yet for some reason we limit our relationship to church friend." I like this quote because it seems like every Sunday when we meet at the Kingdom Hall, we are nice to people there and yet we don't really talk to people outside of that. Its like we like to stay in our comfort zone.

I also like the quote on page 28 which says " Faith has taught me that no matter how much I want to control where I end up, the control isn't mine to have." I like that because I learned that you can try your best in life to have control but things happen in life that take you by surprise. I never thought I would have two seizures but yet I did. Sometimes we just have to run with life's punches, lol. I also like the quote on page 29 which reads " Animals make you love them ;then they die and break your heart." I lost my dog way back in December of last year and my heart truly broke and I have never gotten over him and I never will.

I also liked the quote on page 76 which reads " GOD is the rock". I like that because its true. When we are feeling down or disheartened, pray to GOD and he is always there for us. Like in the scripture Psalm 62:6 which reads" Truly he is my rock and my salvation."

My only complaint was about Jesus being born on Christmas and celebrating Christmas and that is simply not true.  Luke 2:8-11 shows that the shepherds were in the fields in night at the time of Jesus's birth. And that the winter is unlikely because the gospel says the shepherds where in the fields all night.  There is more to go into but if you have any questions you can leave me a comment and I can go into more details.

I also like the quote on page 157 which reads " GOD knew three thousand years ago that we would be the same. That we would want the same things, that we would have the same needs, and that we would need the same wise words-to solve differences, to find answers and meaning in their lives. And I though of how many have found comfort in these words...people in trouble, people at war, hurt people, lost people, people like me."  I enjoyed this because the bible hasn't changed, its always been full of encouraging scriptures and ways to solve our problems, GOD hasn't changed, people did, that's why the bible is still good for us today and is not old-fashioned.

Taylor Swift, Conor Kennedy Split

Let the songwriting begin.

After an intense couple months of dating, Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy have broken up, a close friend of the country singer confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

"They quietly parted ways a while ago," the friend explains of the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" crooner, 22, and the high school senior, 18. "It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They're fine."

First spotted with the six-time Grammy winner at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannisport, MA in July, Conor is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy.

But despite Swift's speedy summertime bond with her new man and his brood, the romance had to take a backseat to Swift's work duties. (Her new album, Red, was just released this week with record-breaking sales and widespread critical acclaim.)

"It's been over a month since they've even seen each other," the friend explains. "With her promotion for Red, she has no time off until the end of the year."

Swift's other exes include Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Cory Monteith.

Review of the book A Marriage of the Heart by Kelly Long

This book surprised me on a bunch of things. I did not realize inside this one book was 3 small books to read. The marriage of the heart wasn't even until the end, the third book. I enjoyed all the books even though the second one was hard to get into at first but it got better near the end.

The first book is about a guy and a girl get married before they really know what they want and spend the entire marriage  trying to figure out what they want. I enjoyed this book because I could never tell what was coming next. The second book is about a dr who delivers babies and falls in love with the guy helping out who is her assistant.  The third book is about a girl who marries a boy before she was ready to get married and wasn't sure how to act but ends up falling in love with him and they compliment each other.

I liked in the third book this one quote on page 309 " Having a community of people behind you makes it much easier. You know the rules. You know what to expect. You know how to fit in. For some people, I guess all of that would be pretty boring, but I've had my taste and my fill of life with no rules."  I like this because when you are struggling with challenges in life it helps to have people who are always there for you and honestly care about you and wants whats best for you.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Are Married

It's official! After five years of dating, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are husband and wife.

"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the couple told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement Friday.

Timberlake, 31, and Biel, 30, kept mum about the nuptials – they were even vague to guests, keeping the location in southern Italy a complete secret until the last minute – but PEOPLE will have all the details of the wedding, including exclusive photos, in next week's issue out Wednesday.

Engaged since December, when Timberlake proposed in Big Sky Montana with a custom-designed ring, the couple have been inseparable.

Most recently, Timberlake showed support for his leading lady earlier this month when she was honored at Variety's Power of Women event for her work with Charity: Water.

The actor-musician said recently of his bride, "She's a really, really, really special person." 

The happy couple started celebrating earlier this week along with close friends and family.

On Thursday, they hosted a party where guests hung out around open fires and dined on fresh-made cheese, local olives and wine. The night before, the group headed to a beach for a party complete with fireworks and live music.

Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel Throw Pre-Wedding Beach Bash in Italy

This party has officially started!

On Wednesday, husband-and-wife-to-beJustin Timberlake and Jessica Biel hosted over 50 guests in Puglia, Italy for a pre-wedding beach party dinner, Us Weekly can report.

Casually-clad revelers, including Timberlake's "D--k in a Box" costar Andy Samberg and music manager Johnny Wright, arrived at Cala Masciola beach on the Adriatic Sea around 8:30 p.m. Despite the brisk temperatures, the crowd enjoyed dinner and cocktails at the beachfront setting, which was decorated with lanterns; music played throughout the festivities, including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On."

At about 9:30 p.m., the crowd was treated to an impressive, 10-minute fireworks display -- and about an hour later, the group returned to the exclusive resort where the nuptials are set to take place imminently.

As Us Weekly revealed exclusively on Wednesday, the actress, 30, and Timberlake, 31, have finally chosen the southern Italy venue to tie the knot this week -- taking "extra precautions" to keep the location and details top-secret. Pals like Timbaland and Biel's Seventh Heaven costar Beverley Mitchell (who herself wed in Italy) were among the guests who were flown in for the biggest wedding of fall 2012.
"They are ready to get married!" an insider told Us.

Bad News Bears Actress Dies In Drunk Driving Accident

Sammi Kane Kraft, the real-life baseball player who took on Tatum O'Neal's role in the 2005 remake of Bad News Bears, has died.

The 20-year-old lost her life in an early morning collision on Thursday along El Lay's 10 Freeway.

She was riding shotgun when her friend crashed an Audi into a tractor trailer while "traveling at a high rate of speed" and then got hit by another car as a result.

21-year-old Molly Kate Adams was only treated for moderate injuries, but Kraft was not so lucky and was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Authorities suspect alcohol so Adams has been arrested for felony drunk driving.

Simpson “Taking Legal Action” Against Star

Jessica Simpson has had enough of Star, which claims on its cover this week that her fiancé Eric Johnson “cheats” on her.

According to the tabloid, Johnson was “caught” messing around with his ex-wife Keri.

As Gossip Cop reported earlier, the mag says Johnson was “sleeping with both” Simpson and Keri at the same time, and “he’ll most likely do it again.”

But more importantly, and we exclusively noted, the Star story is completely untrue.

Now, a Simpson insider tells us that she and Johnson are “taking legal action” because they have “had enough of this tabloid defaming them.”

As Gossip Cop previously noted, Star has been repeatedly wrong about Simpson and Johnson’s relationship, falsely claiming last December that her dad Joe was demanding a “shotgun wedding;” inaccurately alleging that her mom Tina was warring with Johnson over the couple’s baby Maxwell; pushing a bogus “diet disaster” narrative for weeks; and publishing an untrue report about Simpson allegedly telling everyone about her “X-rated romps” with Johnson.

The magazine also recently fabricated new pregnancy rumors about Simpson.

Gossip Cop reached out to an attorney for Star who only offered, “No comment.”

Earlier on Wednesday, the tabloid issued an apology to Nicolas Cage after wrongly claiming he “stalked” Vanessa Hudgens, his co-star in The Frozen Ground.

Review of the book The Fantasy Fallacy by Shannon Ethridge

I really got excited to read this book based on the description from booksneeze.com. I really liked this book. It talks about how people have this fantasy they are always thinking about such as in dreams and such. And how those fantasies can be dreams, or porn,etc and how to look into a fantasy you are having and how to figure out why you are having that fantasy and what the real reason you are thinking those things and it can be different things from you life or childhood that mess us up emotionally or in our dreams.

On page 37 there are some crazy statistics about sexual fantasies. One is that 25 percent of people fantasize about celebrities along with adults fantasizing about someone other than the person they are having sex with, someone else's partner or a work college. 

The author also tells us some scary things about how porn really isn't that great. For example it says on page 71 that How a 45 minute scene requires thirteen hours to tape, so women are exhausted, and their vagina's and anuses are ripped, sore, and bleeding by the time shooting wraps up. Man that really makes you think how porn is supposed to be glamorous for us but its not and that it's simply a mirage or disgusting.

All in all I enjoyed the book, I read it in about 15 min and just enjoyed getting wrapped up in the book and out of my crazy world. I like how a book can do that for you, distract you and put you into a different world.

Reese Witherspoon Welcomes Son Tennessee James

The actress gave birth to a son, Tennessee James Toth, on Thursday, Sept. 27, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth welcomed Tennessee James into their family today,” the rep says. “Both mom and baby are healthy and the entire family is thrilled.”

The baby is Witherspoon’s first child with her husband, whom she married in March 2011. She is already mom to Ava, 13, and Deacon, 8½, from her prior marriage.

In March, a source told PEOPLE that the actress, 36, was eager to have another child. “Right after the wedding, Reese expressed a desire to have a baby with Jim,” said the source. “Reese has been very open with her kids about her plans to expand the family.”


Witherspoon, who initially kept her pregnancy under wraps, subsequently showed off her baby bump all around the world over the spring and summer — from appearances at the Cannes Film Festival to lunches and errands at home in Los Angeles. “Frankly, I’m feeling very round,” she told reporters in June.

I got to try a glade expressions kit from BzzAgent and enjoyed it. The fragrance mist kit came with a scent of fuji apple and cardamom spice. You just squeeze the bottle, a scent fills the room and the room smells good for a while.

The oil diffuser kit is great as well. I choose the scents pineapple and mangosteen and you just leave it in a room and the oil will go into the air of the room for 30 days so my bedroom will be smelling great for a month.

Thanks to BzzAgent for this nice opportunity.

Amanda Bynes Dropped By Agent, Publicist and Lawyer

Troubled former child star Amanda Bynes is on her own.

TMZ reports that the 26-year-old actress -- recently involved in a string of automobile-related trouble -- has been dropped by her agent, publicist and lawyer all within the last few weeks.

According to the site, Bynes employed the trio's services for years, but became "extremely difficult" in the last 12 months, and has been unresponsive when her representatives have tried to contact her. A source tells TMZ that Bynes isn't worried about her team cutting all ties, however, given that she intends to transition from acting to a career in fashion.

Bynes will likely be in court Friday after a judge urged her to appear in person for a hearing about her pending DUI case. (She is on trial after allegedly running into a police car while driving under the influence on April 6; she has also been charged with two hit-and-runs for accidents that occurred on April 10 and August 4.)

The California DMV revoked Bynes' license and her vehicle has been impounded.
"Why did I get put in jail and a Nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far?" Lindsay Lohan angrily tweeted Sunday as Bynes' legal woes continued to mount.

Throughout the summer, Bynes has maintained her innocence, even taking to Twitter to petition none other than President Barack Obama for assistance in clearing her name. "Hey Barack Obama . . . I don't drink," Bynes tweeted in June. "Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end."

Fergie: I'm Not Pregnant, Just Heavier

Fergie's got an announcement to make, but it's probably not the one fans have been expecting.

The musician, 37, visited the Rachael Ray Show September 20, where she talked candidly about the pressure to have a child with her husband of three years, actor Josh Duhamel, 39.

"[People ask if I'm pregnant] every time I fluctuate a few pounds. Like right now, I'm a couple pounds up," the Black Eyed Peas singer said. "Sometimes I go a couple pounds down and I wear the clothes that are more fitted, but people kind of look at me because they're expecting [that] it's that time. We do hope for children and that will be coming up, but it's not yet."

For now, the singer is happy to spend quality time with her hubby, who recently wrapped production on the movie Safe Haven with Julianne Hough, 24. "I love [wearing] sweats," Fergie said of their low-key lifestyle. "I steal Josh's T-shirts. It's fun! They're baggy and he likes it."

One thing Fergie doesn't like, however, is when Duhamel watches her get ready before leaving the house. "I hate when he comes in in the middle of me getting ready. It just ruins the whole thing," the California native laughed. "I'm always like, 'Get out!' You want to come out and present."

Review of the book The Trouble with Cowboys by Denise Hunter

I first off want to thank booksneeze for giving me a chance to read this book, I was excited to read this book from the moment it came out.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a romance book about a girl who was dating this one guy and thought he was the one but realized in the end she was in love with somebody else. And in this book this one girl Annie was also trying to keep her, her sister and her sister's son safe and happy and help keep the family together. I managed to read this book in 3 days because I got so into it and I wanted to keep on reading. I would definately reccomend this book to anyone, including my friends.

I liked the characters and the background of cowboys and horses. I lately enjoy reading outdoor magazines about deer, elk,etc and horses. I just like reading and learning about new things because thats how you grow as a person and should be open to almost anything.

I also wanted to add that for a christian book I really have no complaints, nothing offended me or anything.A

Lindsay Lohan Arrested in NYC: New Detail‏

Actress Lindsay Lohan was arrested in the wee hours Wednesday morning for leaving the scene of an accident. Lilo is accused of clipping a pedestrian in New York, but claims she had no idea she had hit someone.

Officers told TMZ that Lindsay was parking her Porsche Cayenne and driving at a very low speed near the Dream Hotel downtown when she allegedly struck a man in his 30s.
The “Liz & Dick” star parked and entered the hotel just after midnight and when she emerged around 2:30 AM police arrested her.

The 26-year-old was booked at the station and released without having to pay bail. The victim was taken to the hospital, but reportedly had no visible injuries.

The incident could cause major trouble for the star, who is on probation. Friends of Lindsay’s told TMZ that she didn’t realize she had hit someone and feels she may be the victim of a setup. Surveillance video of the accident shows Lindsay drive past the man very slowly, but it is unclear whether she clipped him. Afterward, he sprinted after the actress, but didn't approach her as she entered the hotel.

Meanwhile, she reportedly looked unaware of the run-in as she got out of her car and headed into the hotel.

The tapes also show Lilo left the location a few minutes later, but then returned a short while after that.

Early reports claimed that a passenger in Lohan’s car got out to inspect the damages, but sources told TMZ that it simply isn’t true.

Lindsay, whose driving habits have been compared with Amanda Bynes' in recent weeks, slammed law enforcement on Monday for going easy on Amanda. She wrote, "Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far? +"

After the accident, reports claimed the former child star was headed to rehab, but a source close to Lindsay said it was "untrue."

As Lohan's latest legal woes play out in NYC, Lifetime is shifting the spotlight to the actress' latest TV movie, "Liz & Dick.

Review of the book The Southern Foodie by Chris Chamberlain

This book is a cookbook that looks into Southern resturants and what they cook. The author gives a background on the resturant and the history of the resturants and then gives us a receipe of their famous dish so we can make it at home.

The first recipe I thought I would enjoy is a simple pot roast dish. its from a restaurant called cotton row.  The second recipe I liked was cornbread. It came from a resturant called Irondale cafe. This resutrant was made famous by the movie fried green tomatoes by Fannie Flagg that was made in 1992 by the same name. Everyday they make 77 plus pounds of tomatoes and go through the fryer everyday.

The next two recipes that sounded great were chocolate pound cake by a restaurant called Lulu's at homepart and it sounds great because I used to celebrate holidays like thanksgiving and my aunts used to make this dish and I always loved it.  The second one is called bubble bread, I haven't heard of this before it sounds yummy. Its like a giant cinnamon roll I guess because its made with dinner rolls, cinnamon, vanilla pudding mix, butter and brown sugar. All that sounds good to me and its made by a restaurant called the waysider.

The final restaurant that sounded good to me was in South Carolina and they make something called brocolli cornbread at a restaurant called Virginia's on Kings.

This not really a christian book like I have reviewed in the past but it was fun to review and keep and I am giving it to my mom for her enjoyement as well.

Rosie O'Donnell Suffers a Heart Attack

Calling it a "miracle" she's still alive, Rosie O'Donnell suffered a heart attack last week and is now recovering at home.

O'Donnell, 50, credited her survival to quick Internet research on her painful symptoms and a Bayer aspirin she had seen recommended in ads.

"Thank god/saved by a tv commercial/literally," she wrote Monday in her usual verse form on her blog.

O'Donnell said she had a stent inserted after doctors found that her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked. In a statement on Monday, her rep Cindi Berger tells PEOPLE, "She is now home and resting comfortably. She is very, very lucky."

"They call this type of heart attack/the Widow Maker/i am lucky to be here," she wrote.

Earlier this month, O'Donnell, 50, shared the news that her fiancée Michelle Rounds was diagnosed with desmoid tumors, a very rare affliction.

O'Donnell said her own health problems started on Aug. 14 after she helped "an enormous woman" struggling to get out of her car in a parking lot in Nyack, N.Y.

A few hours later, her chest ached, both arms felt sore as if they were bruised, she became nauseous, and had clammy skin.

"maybe this is a heart attack," she wrote. "i googled womens heart attack symptoms/i had many of them/but really? – i thought – naaaa."

She took the aspirin recommended for people who think they are suffering a heart attack but didn't call 911. She said that hundreds of thousands of women die each year of heart attacks and that many never dial the emergency number.

"by some miracle i was not one of them," she wrote, adding: "know the symptoms ladies/listen to the voice inside/the one we all so easily ignore/CALL 911/save urself."

Review of the book Men of Sunday by Curtis Eichelberger

This book was a bit hard to get through because I am not really into football, I only got the book because I was interested to see how faith plays a part in football. It took me about 2 days to read this book and I liked a few things about it.

I like the quote on page 2 "Prayer is not a rabbit's foot or superstition. We are talking to a GOD who cares of every facet of our lives. If it is important to them, it is important to GOD." I like this because GOD is our friend and we can pray to him at any time, he is never busy and as long as we ask for something in his will or in his son's name Jesus he will answer it for us. He is a loving GOD. It also mentions in the next couple paragraphs about how the football players speak to GOD striaght from their heart, and that's what GOD wants, not some prayer you recited, saying it over and over again. He wants us to be honest and pray about something real.

I also like what a football coach said on page 12, " They decided to focus on Paul's letter to the Philippians, which we wrote during his imprisonment in Rome, encouraging Christians to be united in one another and to think of themselves not as individuals, but as being united in the body of Christ and belonging to each other."

I like the quote on page 28 as well which says, " When I go to bed at night, did I comprise today? Did I cheat anybody? Did I lie? Did I manipulate? It's like David said, "Lord, search my heart and see if there is anything hidden in me, expose it, because I want to be right with you." That was said by football player Singletary. I like that quote because we have to be honest with ourselves and with GOD to be his friend and we really have to do some soul searching to be honset.

The rest of the book was just ok and I didn't really see anything that stood out to be mentioned in my review. Overall it was a good book and distracted me from my life and I will be probably keep it for later on when I want to re-read it at some point.

Taylor Swift Buys Home Near the Kennedys on Cape Cod

After getting a taste of the Kennedy lifestyle this summer, Taylor Swift apparently feels she could get used to it.

The Nashville-based singer, 22, who is dating Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s son Conor, 18, has bought a house in Hyannis Port, Mass., across the street from Conor's grandmother Ethel, according to several reports.

A realtor in Hyannis, Mass., confirmed the purchase to PEOPLE, saying Swift bought the property last week.

"It's in a beautiful location and right across the street from Conor and the Kennedys," the realtor says. "It's a beautiful home. She got a nice home, paid fair price. The house was on the market for two to four years."

The realtor said the property – said to be a 13-room home overlooking Nantucket Sound with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms – was originally listed for $14 million but was "way overpriced." Local reports say Swift scooped it up for $4.9 million.

Swift, who is said to be "swept off her feet" by Conor, has many admirers in the Kennedy clan, with Ethel's daughter Rory calling her "a great friend of all of ours."

Review of the book Cruel Harvet by Fran Elizabeth Grubb

This book was a book that made me cry. This woman talks about how her entire childhood she was beaten by her father and how her father beat up her siblings and mother as well and how it took the courage to run away and stay with other family members in the end that saved her. I like that in the end she ended up getting married and found someone who would treat her right and not abuse her. I read the book in about 2 hours because I wanted to be able to read another book right after. I liked when the author said on page 241 "I had asked God for a man I could pray with who would read the bible and go to church with me. More than anything, I desired to pray together with my mate-to be with someone who was not ashamed to pray in public." This is what a good marriage partner does is pray with you and read the bible with you, etc. When two people invite GOD into their marriage, it is blessed and happy and cannot be pulled apart. Sometimes people who are supposed to be their for you end up hurting you. I saw this video on youtube about a woman who was being abused by her husband which gave her a black eye and she was hurting and he didn't even care, said it was her fault and she was a phys co. That is bullshit. She was not the one at fault for this.

Mariah Carey Will Make $18 Million on American Idol

The newest face at the judges' table is taking home the biggest paycheck.

Mariah Carey, who has officially signed on to join American Idol, will reportedly earn about $18 million for the season.

"Her deal is rumored to be just under $18 million for one year with an option to renew," a source familiar with the negotiation tells PEOPLE.

Carey, 42, will reportedly be the highest paid judge on any reality show.

With Lopez – whose exit had nothing to do with dollar signs, said a source – Steven Tyler and potentially Randy Jackson out of the mix, Carey's panel companions (and their pay rates) have yet to be confirmed.

"It's gonna be so much fun working on @AmericanIdol," Carey Tweeted Monday when her new gig was made official. "As a singer-songwriter, I'm excited to help find and nurture new talent."

And Carey isn't the only one who pulls in serious pay on reality TV. According to reports, Christina Aguilera will make about $10 million on the third season of The Voice. Howard Stern's turn as a judge on America's Got Talent came with a $15 million paycheck.

Money aside, Carey is "totally elated," adds the source. "She's in the studio, and she's getting ready to record the video for her new single, "Triumphant" – certainly an appropriate title, and it was written before the deal."

Jessica Simpson Is Taking Her Time And ‘Losing Weight

New mom Jessica Simpson is signed on to get rid of her pregnancy pounds as a Weight Watchers spokesperson and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she isn’t planning to kill herself with drastic measures and is taking a healthy approach to slimming down.

“Jessica is losing weight slowly,” a friend close to Maxwell Drew Johnson’s mom told RadarOnline.com.

“She’s not trying to drop 10 pounds a week or anything crazy like that. She wants to do it at her own pace and make sure she’s healthy.”

Jessica hits the gym frequently with celebrity trainer Harley Paternak, and she’s a dedicated student, according to the source.

“Her goal right now is to lose one pound a week and Harley’s training program is keeping her on that schedule,” the friend said.

“Jessica is trying to work out as much as she can, but she is loving every minute of being a mom and never wants to leave her daughter.”

Her plan to slowly drop the weight might not be the typical way a Hollywood star does things, but Jessica is doing it this way for her own reasons.

“Jessica wants to be healthy for life, not just get super skinny quickly. She knows that she isn’t going to fit in size 0 jeans right away, she wants to be healthy for her daughter, her fiance and even any kids she might have in the future!”

Tom Cruise's Lawyer: Suri Was Main Concern of Divorce Settlement

From buzz that Katie Holmes was being followed by the Church to speculation over the influence Tom Cruise's controversial religion had during the settlement negotiations, the role of Scientology in the couple's split has been followed just as closely as the beginnings of their separate new lives.

But according to Cruise lawyer Bert Fields, who flew to New York to negotiate their divorce settlement (which granted Holmes, 33, primary custody and Cruise, 50, generous visitation rights), the main concern was 6-year-old daughter Suri.

"Tom was always most interested in his child," Fields tells PEOPLE. "His concern was for Suri."

Adds the high-powered attorney: "He will have a meaningful relationship with Suri."

As for when Cruise will see his daughter, who has been clocking in time with her mom in New York – from trips to the zoo to the art museum – Fields could not reveal a specific time or date. (Cruise is currently filming Oblivion.)

"I don't know the details of his schedule, so I can't comment," he says. "My guess is he'll be seeing Suri very soon."

Regarding the role the actor's religion played in the settlement, Fields tells PEOPLE, "Somebody said the Scientologists were directing the negotiations, and that is absolute hogwash. There was no Scientologist present, I wasn't on the phone with Scientologists. Scientologists played no part of role in the negotiations between the lawyers."

Instead, he says, both teams "dealt rationally with the issues, hashed them all out and over a few days worked something out that was to the satisfaction of both sides."

Garth Brooks Death Hoax Hits the Web

Despite the rumors, Garth Brooks is not dead — so fans frantic to get a refund for tickets to his Las Vegas show can breathe a sigh of relief! Though word spread the country superstar passed in a tragic jet ski accident in the Turks and Caicos Islands today (July 16), the reports are completely fabricated.

In fact, they were made up by the source that first claimed Brooks had died while on nautical vacation.

According to Global Associated News:

“Preliminary reports from Turks and Caicos Police officials indicate that the musician struck a concrete boat slip in a marina on Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Garth Brooks was the only passenger on the personal watercraft at the time of the incident. Specific details are not yet available.

The accident occurred at approximately 8:45 a.m. (UTC/GMT -4 hours).

A simple scroll to the bottom of the page will dismiss any validity to the claims, with a disclaimer reading:

“FAKE… THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic ‘template’ and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank ‘non-specific’ template for the purpose of entertainment.

A very much alive Brooks will continue his Las Vegas residency soon, with the next show scheduled for July 19. The ‘More Than a Memory’ singer has dates scheduled at the Encore Theater at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort through the rest of the year.

Fans may remember that Reba McEntire too fell victim to a death hoax earlier this year, with claims made that she died while shooting a movie in Austria.

Got to try a razor from Bic Soleil Savvy

I was happy to try this for free and get to write a review on it. It was my first time trying this from this company I normally use Gillette. It managed to get my legs smooth but it took a couple tries to get my legs smooth compared to how Gillette got my legs smooth in one swipe. But it was still nice to try this for free and would give it 3 out of 5 stars.

I am a BzzAgent and need to disclose this to continue to be a member.

Kris Humphries Ex-Girlfriend: I'M PREGNANT!

Kris Humphries may not be the sharpest tool, but he sure is potent, because TMZ has learned his ex-girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj is PREGNANT.

Sources directly connected with Myla tell us Myla confirmed Monday that she's 3 months pregnant and says Kris is definitely the father.

This could be used in Kris' divorce with Kim Kardashian, because Kris has claimed he was devastated by the break-up and suffered emotionally. This development further cements the fact that Kris moved on quickly.

We're told Myla plans to have the baby but wants to raise it alone, because she believes Kris has betrayed her by talking crap about their relationship.

But here's the rub ... We're told for the past 3 weeks, Kris and Myla have been communicating regularly.

Oh yeah, here's the other rub -- she hasn't told Kris yet.

Review of the book Grieving God's Way by Margaret Brownley

I got this book because back in December I lost my dog to old age and we had to put him to sleep and I am still grieving him to this day and thought this book would help. I did appreciate the tips in the book as well as the scriptures from the bible which helped me cope a bit as well.

I like the quote on page 5 that says it never seems like the right time to for a loved one to die. Losing someone we love reminds us how short life is and how much we take others for granted.

I also like the tip on page 19 which says " take a trip to the beach and play as a child. Run into the waves, build a castle? not possible? Then play hopscotch with a child or fly a kite. Play a round of golf or tennis. Plan a family outing the county fair. Ride a carousel; buy an ice-cream cone, blow bubbles. Go horseback riding. Swing in the moonlight. Dance in the sun."

It seems like when we grieve we eat more and can put on weight but as the reminder on page 21 says God offers us spiritual nourishment. And grief can be tough on spirituality. So start small as page 25 says. Ask for God's help. Attend a worship service. Reread your favorite scriptures. If your faith is shaken and not strong enough to hold you up, lean on a friend's faith. Ask others to pray with you and for you.

I also like the paragraph on page 27 which says the shock and disbelief that comes with grief serve a useful purpose. These are God's way of stopping us in our tracks and telling us hold on, don't move, something important is happening here. Faith comes to us in quiet moments, the soul grows in stillness and healing takes time. You may think you are making no progress and are stuck in your grief, but God is preparing body and soul for the next growth spurt.

I also like the paragraph on page 39 which says following the death of a loved one we revert to childlike ways. We stroke photographs and keepsakes, we run our hands over a loved one's chair, seeking to stay connected.We trust our senses to confirm the reality of a loved one's death but the only way to heal heartache is reach up and touch God.I also like what is says on page 47, many of us can't bear to part with a loved one's belonging's. Sometimes we keep the person's room intact, the closet sealed like a shine. This is ok for a while, but the time must come when we have to let go of the past and look forward to the future.

I like the stuff written on page 133 which says why do we say we are ok when we are not? Why do we say we are fine when the opposite is true? Why do we put up walls when we most need open doors? How do we get our friends to be more responsive and compassionate? Admit you need help say something like, I guess I'm not as brave as I thought I was. How can we expect friends to know our needs unless we tell them?

I also like page 151 where it says sometimes we fall back or grow weary and discouraged. At times the path will seem to steep, or we'll lose our way. Our faith might even be challenged, and we'll teeter on the edge. Grief might be the hardest mountain we will ever have to climb, but we don't have to do it alone. God doesn't just wait for us at the summit, he helps us every step of the way. I like the bottom paragraph on page 161 which reads God didn't promise days without pain, but he did promise to light the way. He also promised that he will comfort and give us strength in our moments of deepest need and that one day our tears will turn to laughter.

On page 169 I like that it shows us what grief made us learn such as how precious life really is, how much time I wasted worrying about things that don't really count? Who my real friends are? How strong and capable I am? The loss of a loved one can be one of life's greatest teachers.

I have alot on my mind so this will be the end of my review but I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to my friends.

Doane Says Cena Had An Affair With A Married Diva

Kenn Doane, who appeared as Kenny of the Spirit Squad and Kenny Dykstra for WWE from 2006 to 2008, blames an affair between John Cena and Mickie James for ruining his relationship with the former Diva and costing him his job. Speaking to SEScoops.com on the ordeal, Doane reveals that Cena was having a second affair with a then-WWE Diva who was married  to a man not involved with the professional wrestling industry.

Doane says he discovered James had been cheating on him with the Cenation leader when he caught her searching online rumors of her act of infidelity with the query “Mickie James dating John Cena.”

“Upon confronting her about it, “She stared at [the computer] for like legit two minutes and I’m looking at her like “Did you forget how to read? Say something, WTF.” She got up and ran into the other room crying saying she was sorry and she felt bad and admitted to it.”

While recalling the matter, Doane says Cena was having an affair with a second WWE Diva.

“I don’t have John’s number so I call his diva ‘road’ girlfriend. I ask her if she knows anything about it and she says she had a feeling because John recently dumped her and she is over him now,” Doane says.

Cena’s sexual escapades were not solely limited to WWE Divas as he was simultaneously involved with ‘ring rats’. Doane details, “Got one diva who is married to a guy outside of the business but she sleeps with Cena, then we got Cena who sleeps with rats (groupies, girls not in the biz, girls in the lobby waiting for an invite upstairs) and this married diva, and now my girlfriend.”

Following weeks of inactivity stemming from the affair, Doane was transferred to the SmackDown brand on June 17, 2007, as part of the WWE Supplemental Draft. Doane reveals that the married Diva was transferred from Raw to SmackDown as well after being dumped by Cena.

“Following weeks I’m off TV and off the road until I get sent to SmackDown. Ironically, John’s former Diva got sent too,” Doane recalls. “So now we’re on complete separate schedules and when there is a joint pay-per-view I’m off the road that day too and get flown in on a Monday for a Tuesday Smackdown. Yeah complete B.S. I get jobbed out then they take me off the road more and fire me.”

Two WWE Divas transferred from Raw to SmackDown in the 2007 WWE Supplemental Draft—and the entire year—Torrie Wilson and Victoria. Wilson was in the process of divorcing Billy Kidman. Victoria has been married to a man not affiliated with the professional wrestling industry since 1998, matching Doane’s claim.

On November 10, 2008, WWE announced Doane had been released from his contract. While discussing his termination with John Laurinaitis, he was informed that his decision to speak publicly on Cena and James’ affair will determine whether WWE offers him employment again in the future.

“When Johnny Ace called me to fire me I asked him if this is why I’m getting fired,” Doane recalls. “He told me we don’t have anything for you and depending on whether you choose to discuss this issue will determine on if your allowed to come back in the future.”

Doane ultimately concludes that he wants to be open and honest.
“Going forward I have no reason but to speak the truth and to make all this up would be absolutely insane. I’m not saying you have to believe anything I say but that is the truth,” he says. “WWE portrays Cena as this big hero and savior to all of us but truth be told that is a character he plays much like me as a cheerleader. When watching wrestling, know you’re watching a show and not real life situations or scenarios. We are basically live comic books brought to life and make short action movies for you to enjoy.”

Reese Witherspoon talks baby no. 3, acting hiatus

Reese Witherspoon is gearing up for her third baby, which means she'll be taking a break from moviemaking.

The Gene Siskel Film Center honored the actress with their Renaissance Award at an event at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago on Saturday. Witherspoon, 36, spoke about her pregnancy for the first time, telling reporters who remarked that she was a glowing mom-to-be, "Thanks, but frankly I'm feeling very round tonight."

She also said that being in the Windy City, known for its pizza, was stirring up some pregnancy cravings. "It's not easy," she said. "I'm always feeling like I'd like to eat everything in sight!"

Witherspoon, who is married to talent agent Jim Toth and has two children from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe, has been finishing up production on her latest movie, "Devil's Knot."

The film, which is shooting in Atlanta and co-stars Colin Firth, is about the 1993 murder of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Three teenagers -- later dubbed the West Memphis Three -- were accused of killing the children as a part of a satanic ritual, despite a lack of physical evidence. The trio were released last year.

Talking about the film, Witherspoon told reporters, "It happens in Arkansas, and it's what I'd say is a very American story." Adding: "And, after I finish that, I'm going to take a little time off — and go have a baby."

John's estranged wife is pretty sure that he's has been cheating on her, and nothing would be better for her than to prove it in court, too.

As you know, John seemingly sprung the divorce on Liz out of nowhere, putting an end to their 3 year marriage.

If she can prove that he was gettin' some strange, then she'll be able to challenge the prenup!

Her camp says:

"We're definitely following up on every lead relative to his being unfaithful before AND after the separation.

We definitely don't like cheaters around here, so we hope it's not true.

She seems determined and convinced, though!

Reviewing Site SafetyBook for Viewpoints

The blogger site Viewpoints asked me to sumbit 3 reviews of products I own such as my car, beauty items, etc and this site will tell me if there is any recalls on them that could result in saftey issues.

The site already wrote me back and told me about a recall on my car from 1996 which I had no idea even was there. It told me this: without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will will be poor fly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without waring.  I will probably not worry about this since I have my car all this time and have not any problems but it was nice for the heads-up.

I also added my refrigerator to the list and it told me about 3 recalls about that as well. They are saying an electral problem could cause a fire in my house. I probably will not do anything about this as well but I wil be on the look out for any problems with my refridgerator.

I hope Viewpoints enjoyed my review and my blog and will allow me to do more on my blog in the future.

Lindsay Lohan 'fine' after hotel room scare

For the second time in a week, Lindsay Lohan was checked out by medics after they received a call that she was found unconscious in her hotel room in the penthouse of the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Ray, California, on Friday. Paramedics were called to the actress’ room at 10:15 a.m. when she could not be roused.

According to TMZ, Lohan had been up for two days filming her Lifetime made-for-TV movie, "Liz & Dick," and had decided to get some sleep in a room at the hotel, where she's been shooting the Elizabeth Taylor biopic. But when someone went to wake the actress, they could not get a response, so they called 911.

Luckily for Lohan, she did eventually wake up and did not need to be transported to the hospital. 

"Lindsay has been working a grueling schedule for the last couple of days," Lohan’s rep Steve Honig told E! News. "Last night she worked from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. She was exhausted and went back to her room to sleep. Producers were apparently concerned and called the fire department and paramedics found her sleeping but determined that she was fine, just extremely exhausted and slightly dehydrated. She is on her way home now to rest and will be back on set later today."

Last Friday, Lohan crashed her rented Porsche into an 18-wheeler on the Pacific Coast Highway on her way to the set of “Liz & Dick.” While in the hospital, she told police her assistant was driving, but he was not, according to him and multiple witnesses at the crash scene. Police also found a water bottle filled with alcohol in the trunk of her car.
