It will also be a boy for Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann. On the heels of news breaking over the gender of Kristin Cavallari’s baby with Jay Cutler, the Real Housewife of Atlanta tells Life & Style that she’s scheduled to give birth to a son. “We’ll save money since we already have all this boy stuff,” says Zolciak , who also has two daughters and another son. “It’s just a blessing – perfect!” Zolciak and Biermann wed in November and, of course, didn’t care about the gender of their child once they learned Kim was pregnant again. “We just want a healthy baby,” Zolciak says.
Patricia Medina, a British-born actress whose Hollywood career as a leading lady in the ’50s spanned comedies, dramas, adventure films and thrillers, has died. She was 92. Medina, the widow of actor Joseph Cotten, passed away Saturday at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles. She had been in declining health. A petite, dark-haired beauty who launched her career in England in the 1930s, Medina was married to actor Richard Greene when she arrived in Hollywood. Medina starred in Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950), Sangaree with Fernando Lamas (1953), Plunder of the Sun with Glenn Ford (1953), Botany Bay with Alan Ladd (1953) and Phantom of the Rue Morgue with Karl Malden (1954). She also played opposite Louis Hayward in the ’50s adventure films Fortunes of Captain Blood , The Lady and the Bandit, Lady in the Iron Mask and Captain Pirate . Medina and Greene were divorced in 1951. In 1960, she wed the widowed Cotten, who had made his feature film debut in Welles’ 1941 classic Citizen Kane . They appeared in a number of stage productions together. Medina made her Broadway debut in 1962 in Calculated Risk , starring Cotten, who died in 1994.
Just when you thought the bar could never be lowered for idiocy, Patricia Krentcil allegedly went and put her 5-year-old daughter in a tanning booth. The 44-year-old from New Jersey (there’s a shocker) told NBC’s local New York affiliate that she took her daughter with her to a local tanning salon. Krentcil, who puts Snooki to shame with her “tan” complexion, maintains that her kid was actually not exposed to any of the booth’s synthetic UV rays. Patricia Krentcil Tanning Arrest “I tan, she doesn’t tan,” Krentcil said , insisting that this whole story is merely a big misunderstanding. “I’m in the booth, she’s in the room. That’s all there is to it.” Krentcil, of Nutley, N.J., was arrested and charged with felony child endangerment last week. She was released on $25,000 bond and is due back in court today. “It’s nothing different than taking your daughter to go food shopping,” Krentcil said, incredulously. “There’s tons of moms that bring their children in.” Police, though, say Krentcil put her daughter in an upright tanning booth. New Jersey state law prohibits children under the age of 14 from tanning booths, while children between the ages of 14-17 must be accompanied by an adult. Police were alerted by school officials, who said that at school, the girl had what looked like a sunburn, but told friends she “went tanning with Mommy.” Rich Krentcil, the girl’s father, said it was in fact a sunburn. “This whole big thing happened, and everyone got involved,” he said. “It was 85 degrees outside, she got sunburned. That’s it. That’s all that happened.” Maybe so, but just look at that woman. Just look at her.
