John Legend And Chrissy Teigen Expecting Baby #2 Looks like “a few months” came pretty quickly for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. The couple announced a while back that they were gearing up to expand their family via IVF, and surprise! The time is apparently now. Chrissy took to Instagram to have little Luna “Legend” help break the big news for fans. Also, in true Chrissy fashion, she playfully confirmed that the baby is indeed John’s. We’re guessing this one will be a boy, since Chrissy has gone on record saying that they decided as a family to carry a girl embryo first , then have a boy later on in the game. Of course, the gender has not been confirmed quite yet. Congrats to the happy family! WENN/Splash

Ryan Seacrest is the latest famous name to face allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ubiquitous TV and radio personality has been accused of acting inappropriately with a former stylist. This same publication reports that the the alleged victim made a substantial financial request of Seacrest in exchange for her silence. The American Idol emcee and Kelly Ripa co-host refused said request. The unnamed woman worked as a wardrobe stylist for E! and says the incident took place about 10 years ago. No details about her claims against Seacrest have been made public. A spokesperson for E!, however, has confirmed that the cable network is conducting an investigation into the matter. And Seacrest has released a lengthy statement in his own defense. It reads as follows: Recently, someone that worked as a wardrobe stylist for me nearly a decade ago at E! News, came forward with a complaint suggesting I behaved inappropriately toward her. If I made her feel anything but respected, I am truly sorry. I dispute these reckless allegations and I plan to cooperate with any corporate inquiries that may result. I treat all my colleagues with kindness, dignity, and understanding, as this is a principle that’s core to who I am. Throughout my 25 years in the entertainment industry, the majority of my co-workers have been women, and I’ve endeavored to foster a positive work environment of mutual respect and courtesy, as that’s how I believe it should be. I’m distraught that anyone or any situation would call that into question. I’m proud of my workplace reputation, and believe my track record will speak for itself. I’m an advocate for women. I will continue to support their voices. Seacrest, of course, is a very busy and successful producer and host. He currently sits each morning opposite Ripa on Live With Kelly and Ryan” weekday mornings on ABC; is scheduled to serve as host of that network’s upcoming revival of American Idol next spring. This news comes amid a wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations that have rocked Hollywood over the pastfew weeks, starting with back-to-back bombshell reports in The New York Times and The New Yorker that detailed allegations of sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein. Since then, accusations of misconduct have been leveled against such significant stars as Kevin Spacey, Lous C.K. and Jeffrey Tambor, just to name a few. We’ll update this story with more details as news breaks. View Slideshow: Weinstein Scandal: Which Powerful Men Are Accused of Sexual Misconduct?

The first trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 is here, courtesy of Bravo, and man alive, it features plenty of drama. Would you expect anything less? Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley are all back again, with some new faces joining the fun: Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, the daughter of rock god John Mellencamp and his second wife Victoria Granucci, is joining as a new Housewife. Meanwhile former cast member Camille Grammer, the former wife of Kelsey Grammer, is returning as well, as a “friend” of the housewives. Backstabbing is not the primary focal point of this new teaser, though it does have its moments, such as Dorit calling Teddi a “psycho.” Erika, for her part, sure looks like she's coming at the new queen as well, threatening, “don't f-ck with me like that, you won't want that.” Ohhhhhhhhhh. Put on notice. Lisa, Kyle and Dorit are in a feud, meanwhile, that Erika describes thusly: “This boils down to three bitches that are competitive over friendship.” Bravo's official synopsis promises that this season, “the ladies are busier than ever, juggling life at home and in the boardroom.” Hustle and heart, so to speak. Kyle must decide whether to renovate or move out of the home where she’s raised her four kids, which truly must keep her up at night. The choices we face. Brutal. Dorit is trying to re-launch her swimwear line, which proves daunting given the time frame of just a couple of months that she's working with. Erika Jayne’s rise to the top has fueled her professional drive, with more music and a memoir on the way from this firebrand. Lisa Rinna, for her part, is channeling her inner Kris Jenner as Momager to her model daughters, who are looking to make it big. That comes with its own challenges, though, as achieving too much fame too soon in one's life makes it hard to stay grounded. Finally, Lisa Vanderpump is knee-deep in dogs. Vanderpump Dogs, her new business venture, seems to be doing well already. With trips to Berlin, NYC, Las Vegas and Tokyo on tap, the new season (kicking off December 19) promises plenty of trips. That's where all the fun happens. Follow the link to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online and check out the first look at the new season right here:

At one point, they were rumored to be friends. When Briana DeJesus joined the cast of Teen Mom 2 for the show's most recent season, Kailyn Lowry seemed to be the only veteran cast member who didn't have a problem with it. That all changed when Briana began dating Javi Marroquin , Kailyn's ex-husband and the father of her second child. These days, Bri and Kail are bitter enemies, and it seems there's no end to their feud in sight. Check out our rundown of the latest shots fired in this increasingly brutal war or words: 1. Briana & Javi: Getting Serious? What started as a fling appears to be developing into a serious relationship. Briana and Javi have been exchanging flirty messages on Twitter, and Kailyn is understandably less than pleased. 2. Kailyn Lowry: Not Having It Kail has moved on from her marriage to Javi, and she’s doing her own thing these days. But it seems she’s not a fan of the way Bri and Javi have been flaunting their happiness (or feigned happiness) publicly. 3. Is It All a Game? Some fans suspect Bri and Javi aren’t serious about their relationship and are only posting about it so frequently in order to get under Kail’s skin. 4. Bri to Javi: Let’s Get Married! For some fans, the final straw was this tweet, in which Bri made reference to an earlier conversation that she and Javi had had about getting married. 5. Briana: Just Kidding About the Marriage Thing In response to disbelief from fans, Bri later clarified that she was just joking about the marriage comments. 6. But the Feud Is Real Shortly thereafter, Briana kept the feud fires burning by calling Kailyn out with some screenshots of a text conversation between Lowry and Marroquin. View Slideshow
