Kim Kardashian is pregnant. Kourtney Kardashian has two kids. And, in case every other tabloid cover hasn’t made it clear, Khloe Kardashian is childless. The reality star has had trouble getting pregnant, but she wants to make it clear: that doesn’t mean she goes around being all depressed. Far from it. ““People assume I’m desperate for a baby,” Khloe tells Redbook . “And, yes, I would love to have a baby. But I’m 28, and I’ve been married three and a half years. I love my life, but it doesn’t feel incomplete right now.” Does she ever tire of the baby questions? “I do think my difficulty getting pregnant has helped a lot of women,” Kardashian – who is undergoing hormone injections – said. “Do I wish people would quit asking me about it 24/7? Yes, but I don’t regret it.” Also contrary to many rumors? She’s totally thrilled for Kim. “People want to assume that I’m devastated. I couldn’t be happier. I actually got mad at Kourtney, because she was afraid to tell me at first. So I get why people think I’m hurt because my own sister thought I would be.”
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie secretly underwent lap-band stomach surgery this year to lose weight, the politician himself confirmed to the N.Y. Post. He told the newspaper he was thinking of his four young children and how it was time to start improving his health when he decided to have the procedure. “I’ve struggled with this issue for 20 years,” he said. “For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them.” The Republican also insisted that, contrary to what observers may say, the effort to slim down was not motivated by thoughts of the 2016 election . “It’s so much more important than that,” he said. Christie checked in to a surgery center on February 16, possibly under a false name, to have the operation that has already helped him drop 40 pounds. The operation places a silicone tube around the top of his stomach, where it restricts the amount of food he can eat at one time and makes him feel fuller, faster. “A week or two ago, I went to a steakhouse and ordered a steak and ate about a third of it and I was full,” Christie said of his newly tamed appetite. Christie has struggled with his weight for decades. He sometimes jokes about it, while other times, it’s a sensitive topic. Insiders say it may have been keeping the straight-talking executive from higher office. Despite Christie’s denials, political fundraisers say that the surgery is a clear sign that he’s going to join the 2016 race, and will do whatever it takes to win. “This means he’s running for president. He’s showing people he can get his weight in control. It was the one thing holding him back,” a top donor said. Christie has never revealed his weight, but estimates have run from 300 pounds to even higher. He said it was not an easy decision, but it was the right one. The N.J. Governor hired renowned laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon George Fielding, head of NYU Medical Center’s Weight Management Program. He managed to keep the surgery under wraps for nearly three months, but when word finally leaked and he was asked, Christie spoke candidly about it. Christie is often mentioned as a potential GOP candidate for President in the 2016 race, along with Rand Paul , Ted Cruz , Marco Rubio and others. First up, though, will be winning reelection in New Jersey this fall.

It’s pretty much the opposite of the oft-discussed Fifty Shades of Grey in terms of subject matter, but a just-announced Mister Rogers biopic got us thinking: Who should play the iconic, laconic PBS children’s TV host? “His keen ability to find good in anyone, or anything, will make for a truly inspiring cinematic experience,” producer Justin Nappi says of the film. Fred Rogers died in 2003 at age 74. An ordained minister, he hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood from 1968-2001 and won countless awards. The biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood , will need the perfect star to embody his soothing, gentle, easy-going, mellow and optimistic style. Beloved TV stars Ty Burrell and Steve Carell, among others, could be good fits for his childlike ways. Who do you think should play him? Vote/comment below! Ty Burrell Matthew Broderick Seth Meyers Jimmy Fallon Steve Carell Tobey Maguire Other (cite in comments) View Poll »

I became a Belieber 5 years ago, so I waited a really long time to write my own Bieber Experience and to meet my idol. I feel blessed I can finally do it now. I had already bought tickets for Justin’s concert on April 13th, 2013 but when I asked my parents in June about buying a meet & greet, they said no. I understood it was because it was a lot of money. When the meet & greet’s were sold out, I realized that I didn’t try hard enough to convince them, and I promised myself to try harder when I got the chance again. The chance finally came. On March 5th a magazine tweeted that there would be additional meet & greet’s on sale the next day. I quickly started to think about how I could convince my parents. I came up with the idea to make a Keynote Presentation ( above ). I made it in 3 hours and showed it to my parents on our TV. They laughed a lot (because of my funny pictures), but after the presentation they said, “We will think about it.” I WAS SO HAPPY. Later on in the night they said, “Okay Neri, you can buy meet & greet tickets but you have to pay for it yourself.” I was freaking out!! The next day while I was in school I got a text saying, “Neri, you are gonna meet Justin.” This was my biggest dream of mine for years, I was a Belieber since DAY 1, and since that day it was my dream to meet Justin. I couldn’t stop crying in class, and everyone was so happy for me. Finally on April 13th, 2013 I met Justin Bieber. I was third in the line! When I saw Justin, I was so happy. I went inside and I saw him. The tears started. Justin looked at me and said, “Don’t cry sweetheart.” He held me and the photographer took a picture. When I left the meet & greet he said, “Bye sweetie,” but I still couldn’t say anything because I cried so much and I cried the whole concert. This was the best day of my life. -@NeriBieber_x See the rest here: I became a Belieber 5 years ago, so I waited a really long time…

It all started in March 2011. I just got back from this Usher concert and I was kinda depressed because it was over. I heard he was performing again in 4 days so I really wanted a ticket. But I failed getting one. My friend and I decided to go to the movies instead of going to the concert. I saw ‘Justin Bieber NEVER SAY NEVER’ on a billboard. The first thing that came into my mind was: Omg Usher must be in the movie too. Since I knew Usher was Justin’s mentor, we went and saw it. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This movie opened my eyes. I couldn’t believe that I never took the time or effort to get to know Justin a bit more. I was literally so overwhelmed by this movie. I went home and watched every interview ever with Justin. I downloaded all of his music, bought his CDs, made a Twitter account. Bieber fever had hit me hard. Justin was coming to my country soon, but it was sold out. I did everything to get tickets but people were selling them for too much money. I never stopped supporting Justin from that moment. In June 2012 I heard Justin was coming back to Belgium in April next year. I cannot explain what went through my mind in that moment. If you’re a belieber you probably understand. I had to get tickets. I bought a membership to Bieberfever and got two tickets. Then I saw there was M&G tickets so I bought them which was a lot of money, but I was willing to pay everything I could. I even worked for it. Fast-forward to the concert: we got our wristbands and a m&g pass. We had to go inside a room and the VIP host (Ryan) told us a billion things we could and couldn’t do. After 2 hours of torture, Dan showed up. I was in shock, Dan Kanter was standing right in front of me. There was a lady who asked him, “Are you Kenny?” – I couldn’t stop laughing. My friend and I asked for a picture and he was so sweet. We talked to him for a while and then he moved on. I wanted to ask him if he wanted to follow me on twitter. He gave us his phone and said, “Alright, you can follow yourself.” Dan Kanter trusted us and he gave us his phone..like how cool is that? We could easily look up Justin’s phone number, but that would have been disrespectful towards Dan so we just followed ourselves. I love him so much for doing this. Dan hung out with us for like 1 hour but then he had to leave. Finally it was time to meet Justin and everyone was crying and in shock. Before I knew it I was standing in front of the curtain. I couldn’t breathe, I was about to meet my idol! The security opened the curtain, but he did it so aggressively. When I entered the room the only thing I could see was Justin’s jawline. He was wearing a snapback and sunglasses. There were black curtains and Justin was all black. I cannot even begin to explain what went through my mind at that moment. Justin said, “Hi” in the cutest voice ever. Before I knew it the picture was taken and I was just going crazy. I didn’t realize I was standing next to my idol, the guy I’ve been supporting for so many years. I wanted to say so much to him but I couldn’t even see if he was looking at me. Security started to push me out but I said, “Can I have a hug?” and Justin took the effort to pull me back a bit and he hugged me sideways. That’s something I’ll never forget. He could have just let me go. I shouted, “I love you” and then it was over. Then we had to go to our seats because the support act was already on stage. I was in total shock, I couldn’t believe what just happened to me. I was so hyped, Justin was about to perform in front of my own eyes. This was gonna be the best day of my life, and it was. The countdown ended and my body was shaking like crazy. When Justin came out in those wings I was amazed. How could someone possibly be so perfect? During “As Long As You Love Me,” we had a special project for Justin. We had papers saying: ‘We will love you forever, as long as you love us’ on it. I never imagined the project would work out, but it did. I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you Justin for making my life so exciting. I will love you forever. -Laura Read more here: It all started in March 2011. I just got back from this Usher…
