Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Welcome Fourth Child: He’s Here and He’s Perfect!

Well, it looks like there’s officially one more Kardashian in the world! Kim Kardashian announced on Twitter moments ago that she and husband Kanye West have welcomed their fourth child! “He’s here and he’s perfect!” Kim tweeted. “He’s also Chicago’s twin lol I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her,” the reality star added. Back in January, Kim and Kanye announced that they were expecting a fourth child via surrogate . Their newest addition joins the couple’s previous three children — North, 5, Saint, 3, and Chicago, 1. Fans are anticipating another non-traditional name, but it looks as though they may have to wait a little longer. Neither Kim nor Kanye has offered any hints with regard to their new baby boy’s moniker, and it wouldn’t be unlike the couple to keep that secret for a week or more. We first learned about the forthcoming bundle of joy during Kim’s famously revealing interview with Andy Cohen back in January. At the time, Kim stated that the child was due “sometime soon.” She also revealed that she and Kanye were expecting a boy, a fact she apparently already divulged while partying during the holidays. “It’s a boy, I think it’s been out there,” Kim told Cohen. “I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and told some people. I can’t remember who I told because I never get drunk.” Indeed, most of our information about Kim and Kanye’s fourth child has come from talk shows. Kim Kardashian’s Surrogate Is in Labor!!! During an appearance on Ellen yesterday, Kourtney Kardashian revealed that Kim’s surrogate was in labor . The news came as a shock to both Ellen and Kris Jenner, who immediately felt the need to rush to the hospital. It’s unclear if Kourt and Kris made it in time for the delivery, but the important thing is that it seems Kim and Kanye have welcomed a healthy baby boy following a smooth delivery. And it seems that becoming a family of four with two boys and two girls was always part of the plan. “Kim has always wanted four kids. She talks about it all the time,” an insider tells People magazine. “She likely won’t have any more after this.” “They definitely want a boy,” a second source revealed, adding: “That’s always been the plan … four kids: two boys and two girls.” Our sincerest congrats go out to one of the world’s most iconic couples. Now you two can go ahead and reveal that bonkers name anytime! View Slideshow: Kardashians Talk Tristan, Kris (Humphries!), Kanye and More!

Here’s What Omari Hardwick REALLY Thought About The BeyHive Backlash Over That Beyoncé Kiss

Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty Omari Hardwick Talks Backlash Over Beyoncé Kiss Omari Hardwick has been keeping quiet about the backlash he faced after embracing and kissing Beyoncé at the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, but this week he broke his silence and explained what was REALLY going on. Speaking about fatherhood and raising his daughter Nova in an interview with Global Grind , the Power actor says that night he was just worried about his baby girl because she’d scratched her cornea. Omari says both Beyoncé and Jay-Z asked about Nova that night, which then led to an extended chat with Hov and the viral moment with Bey. From Global Grind : Criticized for how he interacted with Beyoncé at the award show, Omari had yet to discuss the moment publicly until explaining during our interview that, that night he was simply a worried father thanking his friends who’d expressed concern for his daughter throughout the night. “She has ironically been injured in two very historical moments for me,” Omari told  Global Grind  when asked about Nova. “Her cornea was scratched the night of the Image Awards. The length of [my] talk with Jay was him asking me about her eye. The length of the hug with Bey was her asking about her eye. I give the speech and I bring up her eye,” he recalls. Describing another moment when his daughter was hurt, Omari went on to tell us Nova’s head had been “busted by her little brother.” “Her eye is scratched by him the night of the Image Awards. A month to maybe a month and a half later, within the time of Nipsey’s death (who was a friend), now her head is busted,” he said, eyes wide with panic. “So, being a father of a daughter, makes it to where the MET experience for me might’ve been the most slow motion, beautifully embraced reality… walking through those long halls of that gallery… because I was thinking so much, on that long walk through those artifacts, about Nova. I kept thinking about Nova,” he revealed, referencing his appearance alongside Dapper Dan at the 2019 MET Gala earlier this week. Omari also said Jay is like a big bro, so there’s no way he wouldn’t show Beyoncé love. In an earlier sidebar, Omari explained that while the world knows him as Ghost, Jay-Z knows him as a little brother, saying “Jay-Z would’ve punched me in my face if I didn’t hug his wife. He would’ve said ‘n*gga, you don’t see Bey?’” He tells the site that at no point in his life, even before having his daughter, did he think disrespecting women was cool… “My honor and my respect for women – while you have idiot fanbases who go ‘Watch your wife around Omari’ – I got a wife (A), so f*ck you. I love you, but f*ck yo u (B). (C), I respect women so much prior to Nova being born that once Nova got to Earth… man, it doubled my respect for women. But I had it already ’cause I had a pop, who validated my existence as a man, so I didn’t think demeaning women was ever cool.” Click here to read the full article and let us know what you think.

Read Between The Lies: R. Kelly’s Lawyers Claim He Lost Sexual Assault Civil Lawsuit Because He Can’t Read

Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty R. Kelly’s Lawyers Claim He Missed His Civil Court Case Because He Doesn’t Know How To Read According to TMZ , R. Kelly’s legal team is fighting a default judgment granted to one of his alleged victims because the R&B legend can’t really read. Earlier this week, Kelly lost a civil lawsuit in which he was accused of sexually abusing an underage girl in the late 1990s . The 52-year-old singer failed to respond to appear in court & respond to the lawsuit, which led a Cook County judge to issue a default judgment for the plaintiff. Zaid Abdallah and Raed Shalabi, are now claiming the singer’s “learning disability” prevented him from reading the court documents and taking proper action. “[Kelly] suffers from a learning disability that adversely affects his ability to read,” legal documents state, “… in essence he cannot.” A damages hearing for the case will take place on May 8. Kelly’s attorneys are asking that the default judgment be set aside so that they can fight the plaintiff’s claims.

Osundairo Brothers’ Lawsuit: Jussie Smollett Faked Attack For Clout

See the article here:

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty The Jussie Smollett saga continues as new lawsuit emerges. The Osundairo brothers are behind this latest litigation. They’re suing two of Smollett’s defense attorneys, Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian, for defamation and false light. Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text BALTIMORE to 24042 to join! They were initially arrested as suspects in the alleged attack, only to be released later. According to court documents obtained by the Chicago Sun Times, the brothers say Smollett paid them to stage the attack and directed every aspect of the scheme. “Mr. Smollett used his clout as a wealthy actor to influence Plaintiffs, who were in a subordinate relationship to him and were aspiring to ‘make it’ in Hollywood,” the lawsuit said. “Mr. Smollett’s motivation was simple. He wanted his employer and the public to notice and appreciate him as a successful black, openly gay actor. So, Mr. Smollett directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose.” Cook County state’s attorney’s office dropped all criminal charges against Smollett last month after he paid $10,000 and performed community service. After those charges were dropped, the Osundairo brothers claim both lawyers continued to blame them for the attack in multiple media appearances. Glandian is accused of going as far as suggesting Smollett and Bola Osundairo had a sexual relationship during an interview on a podcast. That claim allegedly caused Bola severe distress as he is heterosexual, in a relationship and often visits family in Nigeria. Same-sex activity is illegal in Nigeria and can result in 14 years in prison or death. This federal lawsuit comes on the heels of another lawsuit from the City of Chicago demanding Smollett pay them back for money spent on the investigation. Smollett has continued to maintain his innocence. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://92q.com” id=”4072131″ overlay=”true”]

Jussie Smollett’s Brother Comes To His Defense In Op-Ed For BET

View original post here:

Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN Jussie Smollett’s brother is coming to his defense after the actor was accused of staging his own attack back in January. According to Jojo, who penned What If Jussie Smollett Is Telling The Truth? for BET, Jussie “didn’t even want to contact police” to begin with. “He was weary and didn’t care for the unnecessary attention it might garner. His choreographer insisted, and the choreographer contacted the police himself,” Jojo wrote in the op-ed, also claiming Jussie is now suffering mentally. The Empire actor has since been acquitted but faces a civil lawsuit from the city of Chicago who claims he intentionally misled police . “I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW EASILY easily everyone accepted the ridiculous motive about Jussie’s career that was promulgated. Jussie had actually begun directing episodes of  Empire , which brought additional compensation. He worked out a deal with Fox to own 100% of his music masters, released an album, which lead to a sold out world tour and he donated every cent of ticket sales to charity,” he wrote. “He even signed the group, June’s Diary, to his label. My brother was developing two films with one of the biggest producers in Hollywood, had the lead to a Broadway show on the table and owns the option rights to the authorized autobiography of his idol, Alvin Ailey. All pointing to not only an advancing career but a business savvy mind. To suggest that he staged his own attack to boost a sagging career is ludicrous. Jussie has a team of extremely effective agents, managers, publicists, and attorneys who helped him acquire career advancement. He wouldn’t need to roll around on the icy ground of a Chicago street, staging an attack on himself to make this happen.” Read the piece in full here and let us know where you stand. — Photo: WENN

Sri Lanka Attacks: 290 Dead, 500 Injured, International Terror Group Believed To Be Responsible

The death toll has soared in Sri Lanka. Nearly 300 people killed, about 500 injured in coordinated bombings at churches and hotels on Easter Sunday. @IvanCNN is live from Colombo, Sri Lanka with the latest: https://t.co/IOhEzeQ5lX pic.twitter.com/qmfFVgzxkh — CNN (@CNN) April 22, 2019 Sri Lanka Death Toll Reaches 290 More details have been released about the Easter Sunday terror attacks in Sri Lanka. As previously reported a wave of bombings struck hotels and churches where suicide bombers detonated explosives. BBC reports that the government has blamed a little-known local jihadist group, National Thowheed Jamath for the attacks. So far 24 people have been arrested in connection with the attacks. Police now report that 500 people were injured. Sri Lankan authorities confirmed that they were warned about a bomb threat from National Thowheed Jamath two weeks ago. BBC also spoke with Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando who told them that the intelligence “never indicated it was going to be an attack of this magnitude”. “They were talking about isolated, one or two incidents. Not like this,” he said. He said, “all important departments of the police” were informed about the warning, but acknowledged that no action was taken. Of the 290 dead, three of them are the children of billionaire Danish fashion mogul Anders Holch Povlsen. CNN reports that Povlsen who owns Bestseller, an international clothing chain, and is the largest shareholder of the online clothing retailer Asos, lost three of his four children in Sunday’s attacks. “We can confirm that Anders lost three children in the attack,” Jesper Stubkier, Bestseller’s communications manager,  told CNN . The family is asking for privacy at this time. Three children of retail billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen were killed in the attacks in Sri Lanka on Sunday, according to a spokesperson for his company https://t.co/rqUMhwNbw8 pic.twitter.com/PKlgVJ0ByK — CNN (@CNN) April 22, 2019 Such sad, sad, news. We’re thinking of Povlsen and the people of Sri Lanka.
