Kourtney Kardashian Birth: Would You Watch?

Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to Penelope Scotland Disick on July 8. Us Weekly has photos of the one-month old to prove it. But apparently the love and joy of having a second child – along with the six figures she raked in for posing with Penelope on the cover of a tabloid – aren’t enough for Kourtney. She says she may share the event with the world. Yes, we’re serious… If you think this photo of Kourtney Kardashian is wild… “We haven’t decided if we’ll show this birth on TV,” Kardashian says in that same issue of Us Weekly . “But Scott taped footage, and some other people were recording too.” Would E! really let this happen? Would viewers want it to happen? Try to hold down your lunch and sound off now: Would you watch Kourtney Kardashian give birth?

Debbie Rowe on Jackson Kids’ Co-Guardianship: All Good … For Now

Debbie Rowe, the woman who gave birth to two of Michael Jackson’s children, stating she supports the new guardianship situation, with one caveat: She WILL intervene if things don’t work out. Rowe filed documents in L.A. County Superior Court saying she has reviewed and signed off on TJ and Katherine Jackson sharing responsibilities. She’ll be keeping her eye on it, however. Debbie Rowe warns that “Should the arrangement sought by TJ Jackson and Katherine Jackson become untenable, unstable, unsafe, or become in any way contrary to the [children’s best interests], Ms. Rowe will seek court intervention.” Rowe claims her concern is for the health, safety and well-being of HER children; and says she will continue to ensure their needs are met. TJ Jackson, the 34-year-old son of Tito Jackson, was appointed temporary co-guardian of Prince, Blanket and Paris Jackson after last month’s fiasco. When TJ first petitioned for guardianship, the judge said Debbie must be notified. That has clearly happened, and she is satisfied, for now. It’s unclear what recourse Debbie Rowe even has after relinquishing all custody to Michael Jackson years ago, but hopefully we won’t have to find out.

Tori Spelling: Proud of Baby Bump, Defending Bikini Pics

Tori Spelling knows a thing or four about being pregnant. She’s expecting her fourth child later this year. And the actress has no shame showing off her figure, even when it’s expanded in size and even when others take issue with her exposed bump, as has been the cast over the years when she dons skimpy swimwear. But now Spelling has taken to her blog and told off the critics. “A few months back, I caught a lot of flack on two separate occasions for bearing my baby bump in a bikini and monokini while spending the day poolside with my family,” the actress wrote , defending these decisions: “I’m super proud of my bump. Why should I be embarrassed and cover up something that’s the greatest gift a woman can experience? A pregnant woman in any shape or size is beautiful!” Spelling also think she’s setting a positive example for her son and two daughters. “I’m making a conscious choice to show my daughters that they can express themselves and be proud as a woman of their bodies. I don’t ever want them to think that they should be ashamed of or self-conscious of their bodies, no matter what shape it’s in.” Do you agree? Do you have a problem with Spelling showing off her baby bump in a bikini?

Red Dawn Trailer: The North Koreans Are Coming!

The North Koreans are coming, it appears, instead of the USSR in the remake of Red Dawn , the Cold War cult favorite starring Patrick Swayze and Lea Thompson. Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson star in this reboot, which at least took 28 years to be remade (way more than the new Total Recall or The Amazing Spider-Man ). The 2012 Red Dawn plot is basically the same, in any case. Get ready for an action adventure pitting the Wolverines – a rag-tag band of handsome and wholesome U.S. teens – against formidable international invaders:

David Rakoff, Award-Winning Author, Dead at 47

David Rakoff, an award-winning author best known for his dark humor and cynical outlook on life, passed away today after a long battle with cancer. He was 47. Rakoff wrote for The New York Times and Newsweek , among other publications, and his essay collection “Half Empty” won the Thurber Prize for American Humor. He also penned the bestselling books “Don’t Get Too Comfortable” and “Fraud.” Rakoff’s death was confirmed by Doubleday and Anchor Books. “The world is a little less kind and a little less beautiful today,” his longtime editor, Bill Thomas, said in a statement, adding: “There were hundreds of reasons to love David. He was of course incredibly charming, witty and learned, a brilliant raconteur with the quickest mind imaginable, but most of all he was a generous soul. Though his life was cut infuriatingly short, it was rich beyond measure.” Doubleday will publish Rakoff’s final piece in 2013, a work titled “Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die; Cherish, Perish.”
