Kate Middleton and Prince William have introduced the new Princess of Cambridge, just a few hours after the little girl came into the world. View Slideshow: Royal Baby Photos: Hail to the Princess! Not long after Kate Middleton welcomed a royal baby girl at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, the littlest royal made her public debut out front. The duo has yet to announce the princess’ name, but the 8 lb., 3 oz. youngster was revealed to the revelers outside of the hospital by her parents. It’s astonishing that Kate Middleton was in labor not even 12 hours ago, given how beautiful she looked cradling her baby daughter in her arms. Visited by hairstylist Amanda Cook Tucker before stepping out (that helps), she wore a patterned white-and-yellow floral Jenny Packham dress. William wore a blue V-neck sweater over a collared shirt, and the woman of the hour – HRH the Princess – was swaddled in delicate white fabric. You can expect that item and the aforementioned Jenny Packham frock to sell out faster than tickets for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight tonight. “The Princess’ shawl is from GH Hurt and Son Ltd,” a rep for the palace said. “The company has a long-standing connection with the royal family.” “Other members of the royal family have been presented with these shawls in the past,” the palace added, including Princes George and William. Speaking of the princess’ older brother, Prince George visited his sister earlier today; he had stayed home with his nanny during the actual birth. William stepped away from his wife and daughter for a brief moment Saturday, going to retrieve his son from nearby Kensington Palace. It’s not clear what George and his baby sister talked about, but we’re sure it was very cute! No photos of them together yet, but give it time. Royal family fans surely recall how Prince George made his own public debut outside the Lindo Wing in similar fashion on July, 23, 2013. Has it been that long?!

Bret Michaels was forced to cancel his Friday night show in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, after becoming “violently ill” in the middle of a show on Thursday. Michaels, who has type 1 diabetes, was performing at the Palace Theater in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Thursday night when he was “dragged” off the stage. Details of his condition… Read more
Bret Michaels has suffered another medical scare. The 51-year old rocker, who had a brain hemorrhage in 2010 , collapsed on stage at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire last night. A Type-1 diabetic, Michaels had performed three songs with an “extremely low” blood sugar, according to guitarist Pete Evick, who said paramedics rushed to the singer’s aid and helped transport him to the hospital. “Bret looked at me and looked like he was gonna die,” the musician wrote in a text to Metal Sludge. Michaels has concerts scheduled for tonight in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and Saturday night in Albany, but it’s unclear if he’ll be able to make those dates. Wrote Evick in an explanatory Facebook post: In the 9 years I’ve stood next to him, I’ve never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger. One of the crew returned instantly to notify me that Bret’s blood sugar was extremely low. He returned to the stage only to announce that he could not continue. As you all know he is a health fanatic and fiercely monitors his blood sugar, he basically had to be dragged off the stage in his sickest of conditions. When I rushed to the bus he could barley speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and seemed only concerned for them. In 2009, Michaels also clocked his head on a piece of scenery while performing at the Tony Awards. We send him our best wishes.

With so much attention focused on the birth of Lil’ Kimye, and the rumored Kim Kardashian baby name floating around, we almost forgot about the royal baby. Okay, no we didn’t. The UK and much of the world are eagerly anticipating his or her arrival in July, but don’t expect many details before that. Royal officials can’t say if it’s a boy or girl, for instance, and not ’cause they’re being coy. Kate Middleton and Prince William chose not to find out! “They don’t know the sex of the baby and have decided not to find out,” said a royal official who spoke on condition of anonymity under Palace guidelines. That’s one way to keep the gender under wraps … Officials said William “fully intends to be present at the birth,” which is expected to take place at the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s hospital in London. William and his younger brother, Prince Harry, were both born there. The public will be told once Kate Middleton has settled in her room in the early stages of labor, likely within an hour of the duo’s arrival at the hospital. Officials said a royal aide will emerge from the hospital with a signed bulletin on foolscap-sized paper carrying the Buckingham Palace letterhead. The bulletin will be given to an official who will be driven to the Palace, where it will be posted on an easel in public view in front of the building. At the same time the bulletin is posted , there will be an announcement on Twitter that will give the royal baby’s gender, weight and time of birth. Officials said they don’t know how quickly a name will be chosen. When Prince William was born, a week passed before his name was announced. Royals and members of Kate Middleton’s family are likely to visit, but Queen Elizabeth II will be on summer vacation at the Balmoral estate in Scotland. William plans to take two weeks paternity leave after the birth and then return to his military duties as a search and rescue helicopter pilot in Wales. Good stuff! Here’s wishing them the best in these next few weeks … and place your final royal baby bets , if that’s the sort of thing you’re into. VOTE: What do you think Kate and William are having? Boy! Girl!

My name is Isidora and this is MBE! I’m 16 years old and I live in Orion, Michigan . I’m going to tell you every little detail, so I hope you’re all ready. It all started around when Believe Tour tickets went on sale. Throughout the school year my friend Amanda and I would always joke going into class saying, “I WON JUSTIN TICKETS!” It got to the point to where we kinda gave up on even going to the concert. It was Thanksgiving break on a Tuesday, around 3 p.m. on November 20th. Amanda texted me and said, “I got Justin tickets, do you want to go?” I thought it was all a joke but I immediately accepted the offer. Later that day I went to her house to hangout. We went to the mall to find a cute outfit, and left with absolutely nothing. Later that night we watched ‘Never Say Never’ and got all hyped up! The next morning we woke up with Bieber on our minds. It was November 21st 2012, and OUR concert date! We danced to all of Justin’s songs all day; while eating breakfast, while finding our outfits, while getting ready and anything you could think of. Throughout the playlist OLLG came on, and we paused. I said, “I wonder if he’s doing OLLG at this Believe Tour?” Amanda Youtube’d it, and sure enough he was. My heart broke. I was so upset that I’d be in a stadium full of girls, and one would be the OLLG. Pure jealously at its finest. Around 5:30 p.m we pulled up the Palace of Auburn Hills and see all these cars and paintings on cars: “HONK IF YOU LOVE JUSTIN”, “I’M JUSTIN’S OLLG”, “BELIEVE TOUR 2012!” Amanda and I were freaking out. We parked, and rushed to will call to our tickets. We still had no idea where our seats were. Walking up the palace stairs we were shaking, We walked through our entrance to our seats, Section 114. The lady told us to walk all the way down Row CC. Then another lady said, “Keep going, 3 rows from the floor!” WE FLIPPED! We couldn’t believe how close we were, for only had paying $90 each ticket. I said to Amanda, “How are we suppose to compete against all of these girls, to be the OLLG?” and she said to me, “We don’t..” The concert began around 7 p.m., and Carly Rae Jepson hit the stage! The countdown for Justin went down, and everyone started to scream inside. None of this felt real. I couldn’t believe I was seeing my idol for the second time in concert. Towards the middle of the concert Justin went into one of the metal things that levitate him around the stadium and I think he was singing “Fall” or one of this slower songs and a spotlight went over Amanda and I for about 40 seconds, and JUSTIN POINTED! I could NOT breathe. A song or two later, Justin began preforming “Beauty and a Beat” and I got SO EXCITED! I started dancing, making up my own moves and all when I saw Kenny Hamilton, and Justin’s Grandma walk by! I tried getting their attention just to wave hello, but it didn’t work. So I continued to dance, and body rock! A couple seconds later a lady came and grabbed my arm with a tight grip, and she finger motioned a “Come here.” I turned to look at Amanda confused. I grabbed my phone and continued to walk with this lady. I asked her if I was in trouble, and she responded with, “No, just keep walking.” I was so scared. I thought I was getting tossed out for being in the wrong seat. I soon came to realization that I was going backstage. I was still so confused. I think it was Allison that took me backstage, not positive. As soon as I got backstage Pattie came and hugged me at the waist, and asked me how I was . I shrieked, “GOOD, you??” It felt like I was back there for a good 20 minutes, but it was probably like 8-10. Pattie looked at Allison, and said, “Do you know who she reminds me of?” and Allison goes “Who?” and Pattie goes “Selena, dontcha think?” I THOUGHT I HAD DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN! Allison said “Yeah, she’s so bubbly, enthusiastic, fun and not shy, And I love that!” and I responded with “Awe thank you!, put “picked” me….?” And Pattie reminded her to tell me. “Do you want to go on stage with Justin?” Allison says, I could hear Justin onstage saying, “Is my OLLG out there somewhere? Where is she?” I walked up a staircase with Allison and talked with a girl, and Dan Kanter as he threw guitar pics at me. I talked with one of Justin’s dancers as he asked me if I knew how to dance, I just laughed and said no. Then Allison goes, “She does too! She made like her own choreography to Beauty and a Beat!” Allison and some other crew members told me, “Please don’t be boring, be the girl I picked out in the crowd!” As soon as I got the queue, I walked onstage with Justin’s dancer and he guided me to Justin’s hand. As soon as I saw Justin I didn’t know what to think. I looked out into the crowd, and all I could see was lights. I could only see about the first 10 rows on the floor. Justin sat me down on the chair, and I just smiled instantly. I honestly just wanted to get up and dance. So many thoughts went through my head, “Should I kiss him?” “Should I put my legs on top of his?” “Should I stand up and dance?” Justin placed the flower crown on my head. It was so hard to keep it on my head. It fell off, and I whispered, “OH SHIT.” Justin tried not to laugh, as he sang, but he smiled big and closed his bright brown eyes as he picked up the crown from behind me, swiping my back and placing it beautifully on my head! By the end of the song, Justin asked, “What’s your name?” and I said “Isidora” and he said “What is it?” and I just repeated. Then Justin says “GIVE IT UP FOR ISIDORA!” and I grabbed his hand and ran off stage. When we got back there he grabbed both my hands, and said, “Thank you so much, Have a grrreeeattt night!” then he ran away. Allison asked me how it was and all I could say was, “The best experience I’ll ever have.” Allison walked me back to my seat and I greeted Amanda and just hugged her as she cried. I gave her one of Dan’s guitar pics , and thanked her. I’m so blessed to have such amazing friends. Looking back it now, I thought it would NEVER happen to me, but hey, NEVER SAY NEVER. -@ I_Mavrogiorgis See more here: My name is Isidora and this is MBE! I’m 16 years old and I…
