Michael Weatherly and wife Bojana Jankovic are expecting again! The NCIS star confirms they are adding to their brood in 2013. “We’re expanding the brand, so I’m pleased to announce… Bojana and I are indeed awaiting our second child [together]. We’re very excited,” he said. Baby #2 will arrive “early in the fall.” The baby reveal came almost a year to the day after the couple, who wed in 2009, welcomed daughter Olivia, who will be one year old on April 10. Weatherly, 44, is also dad to 17-year-old son August from his previous marriage to Y&R star Amelia Heinle. Congrats to the whole family on the big news!
This seems all too appropriate, doesn’t it? Anonymous sources have confirmed to THG that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will name their impending child Kash, whether it’s a boy or a girl. “They were never serious about North,” an insider tells us, referring to a previously rumored moniker for the couple’s first child, due this summer. “But they understand the irony behind ‘Kash’ and simply can’t resist.” Kardashian is yet to confirm the name herself, but she has addressed the topic in previous interviews, admitting West is looking for a “unique” first name. Kim, meanwhile, has said she hopes to keep her family’s K-based tradition going. Kash , of course, would satisfy both these aims… … if this story were remotely true! HA! Did we get you? Happy April Fool’s Day, THGers!!!
Kimora Lee Simmons is opening up about life after her split with Djimon and her “fabulous” life… In an interview with Daily Mail Kimora runs her mouth about pretty much everything. Peep the quotes: On Her Big Personality And Career: Kimora Lee Simmons could never be described as a woman who does things by halves. Big hair, big heels, big attitude: as she herself says, ‘I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.’ It’s a tactic which has propelled her from being the only child of a single mother growing up in St Louis, Missouri, to becoming a Chanel runway model at 13, girlfriend (and subsequent wife) of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons at 17 and now president and creative director of the online fashion website, JustFab. As she herself explains: ‘I’m very determined, honest, open and definitely very energetic. I expect a lot as a boss and I’m very demanding, but I ask that of myself too.’ ‘After Life in the Fab Lane [Kimora’s previous show] which had sprinklings of my family life in it, I really wanted to show the workings of an office and how a team works together to build a brand,’ she says, altogether softer and more quiet than her on-screen persona. ‘It’s like The Office,’ she says, referring to the Ricky Gervais-inspired series, ‘but a lot more organized.’ On Her Weight: Part of her appeal to women lies in her self-confidence and her positive body image (admittedly not difficult to muster when you’re as striking as she is), ‘but I’ve faced rejection time and time again and I’ve been lots of different sizes,’ she says. ‘I’ve had times when I’ve been much bigger and much smaller so that you could see my ribs and I look back at some pictures and it was awful to me. But it’s all OK because I’m comfortable with myself now. It’s about being healthy and active and having a crazy schedule and running after my three kids, so I probably eat very sporadically – lots of smaller meals and snacks. It’s just about having an active lifestyle.’ On Fabulosity: It has spawned books (Fabulosity: What It Is and How to Get It) and perfumes (Baby Phat Fabulosity) and, says Kimora, ‘I came up with that phrase many years ago and people just seem to love it. It’s about knowing that we come with so much that is already fabulous but knowing also that we can always improve and be better. ‘It’s not about how skinny you are or how much money or how many diamonds you have – that’s the fluff that people sometimes look at as being the main thing. It’s about understanding that the things that make you fabulous are all inside of you.’ On Her Childhood: Growing up an only child in Missouri, Kimora was still a young girl when her parents separated, leaving her mother, Joanne Perkins, to raise her alone. ‘A lot of my ideals come from my mom,’ she says, ‘and seeing what she sacrificed for me and how hard she worked definitely shaped me.’ Did her mother constantly tell her she was fabulous? ‘Well, I think people used different words for it back then!’ Kimora laughs. ‘But she was definitely the prototype of strong womanhood for me and it’s where I get a lot of my determination from.’ Her exotic ancestry (Kimora is of Korean, Japanese and African-American descent) meant that growing up in the Midwest in the mid-Seventies and Eighties presented its own particular set of problems. ‘I was bullied and picked on because I was so different to everyone else,’ she says, ‘and I definitely didn’t believe or even know I was fabulous back then. But those hard times made me everything I am today. It’s all water under the bridge now, but being bullied and going through adversity definitely made me stronger.’ To improve Kimora’s confidence, her mother enrolled her in a modelling class when she was ten years old and after embarking on her modelling career at the age of 13, Kimora was chosen by Karl Lagerfeld to model for Chanel, where she went on to walk the runways of Paris, Milan and New York. ‘That was a real turning point for me,’ admits Kimora, ‘because everything that people considered weird about me before, well, suddenly Karl Lagerfeld said it was OK. He’s one of the biggest names in fashion, so all of a sudden it gave me a validity and introduced me to a whole other world.’ On Her Relationships: By the time she had turned 17, Kimora had already caught the eye of Russell Simmons, co-founder of the Def Jam label as well as creator of the Phat Farm clothing line (Kimora is former creative director and co-founder of its subsidiary, Baby Phat). She married him at 23 and though the couple separated in 2006, Simmons occasionally pops up in Kimora’s various TV shows with their two daughters Ming, now 13, and Aoki, ten. Kimora subsequently went on to marry actor Djimon Hounsou (best known for his roles in Blood Diamond and Amistad) and although they have a three-year-old son Kenzo, the couple separated at the end of last year. She deftly sidesteps the reasons as to why her five-year union with Hounsou didn’t last, but says: ‘Relationships do change throughout the course of your life and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping. ‘Kids never go away from your life and if you’ve been married, that person probably never goes away either. You never get rid of anyone and,’ she laughs, ‘they never really get rid of you!’ Although she says she is on friendly terms with her ex-husbands, she admits: ‘Gosh, it’s not always so easy, but I try to do everything from the viewpoint of what’s best for my kids. I have three kids and two great dads and it’s not always easy, but you have to try to be a little selfless and we manage just fine.’ On Dating: Though Kimora was recently linked with heavyweight boxer Malik ‘King’ Scott, she says now: ‘I’m not with anyone at the moment – it’s just my kids and their two dads I guess’ and one wonders whether all that rampant fabulosity might not be a touch intimidating for some men. ‘Well, I think they are sometimes [intimidated],’ she admits, ‘but men are intimidated by a lot of things, you know, such as jobs and bit of determination. They have a lot of insecurities about who we are, what we have, what we look like, what we’ve accomplished and what we’re capable of because we’re fabulous and capable of doing so much and juggling so much every day. ‘People might be mad I’m saying this, but [men] do have a lot of hang-ups. But that shouldn’t deter you ladies from being great! You don’t have to dumb down – you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I’ve found a couple – I’ve been lucky – but it’s probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man.’ On Growing Up Too Fast: ‘Oh my gosh, I did,’ she exclaims. ‘I was modelling at ten, I married very young and I’ve done everything pretty early. I always joke that I’ve had several midlife crises already! I’ve definitely made mistakes along the way,’ she admits, ‘but I’ve got a good head on my shoulders and,’ she adds in a rare moment of understated fabulosity, ‘things have turned out pretty well so far.’ Have you been watching Kimora’s newest show? Who do you think she’ll get with next? We have a feeling that this Djimon business still ain’t really OVER.
We’re very sorry, ladies. But a rep for Joe Jonas has come out and shot down talk of a sex tape between his client and girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler. “There is no truth or validity to this story,” Jonas’ rep tells E! News. “It is completely false.” A website had reported that a camera filmed the couple going at it in a Buenos Aires hotel room at some point in the recent past. Hard. Alcohol, marijuana and sex toys were supposedly involved in the act and Eggenschwiler supposedly orchestrated the tape in order to boost her modeling career. First, Ryan Gosling takes a break from acting. And now this rumor is debunked. Again, we apologize, ladies.
Like many others, bought this on Black Friday 2011. It worked for roughly 100 days, just enough to get it out of the 90 day warranty period. Worked is relative though, the screen was quite bright…uncomfortably so in a darkened room. The color was over-saturated and no amount of fiddling with the the settings would make them comfortable for regular movies. It makes cartoons look quite vibrant however, so maybe for a play room? The sound was mediocre on a good day. The best thing I can say ab
WTF?!?! Swiss Tourist Sexually Attacked By Via HuffingtonPost A Swiss woman who was on a cycling trip in central India with her husband has been gang-raped by eight men, police said Saturday. The attack comes three months after the fatal gang-rape of a woman aboard a New Delhi bus outraged Indians. Authorities detained and questioned 13 men in connection with the latest attack, which occurred Friday night as the couple camped out in a forest in Madhya Pradesh state after bicycling from the temple town of Orchha, local police officer R.K. Gurjar said. The men beat the couple and gang-raped the woman, he said. They also stole the couple’s mobile phone, a laptop computer and 10,000 rupees ($185). The woman, 39, was treated at a hospital in the nearby city of Gwalior, Gurjar said, adding that she and her husband apparently suffered no major injuries. A photo showed the woman – her identity concealed with a hood – walking while being escorted by police to the hospital. Indian law does not allow rape victims to be identified publicly to protect victims from the stigma that is attached to rape in the conservative country. Savages. SMFH. Image via AP
The Transportation Security Administration don’t play that Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Involved In TSA Security Investigation According to TMZ reports : Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are at the center of a TSA investigation following a major security violation at JFK yesterday … but the TSA tells TMZ Kimye is NOT to blame. We’ve learned … K&K had taken a flight from Brazil to JFK on Tuesday, where the plan was to catch a connecting flight to Los Angeles. But once they landed in NY, the couple met up with an airline greeter … who, according to the TSA, allowed them to bypass a key security checkpoint to get them to their next flight as quickly as possible. After Kim and Kanye took their seats on the L.A.-bound plane … a TSA agent yanked them off the flight … and made K&K go through another layer of security. We’re told the plane was delayed for roughly an hour while the couple was screened by TSA agents. TSA claims that KimYe was not at fault for the security breach. “An airline employee escorted the two travelers through a non-public area in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight.” “In doing so, the airline employee violated security protocols by permitting the travelers to by-pass the TSA security checkpoint. TSA officials learned of the violation and conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway.” “The passengers were cleared to board their flight, which departed after a delay of approximately 50 minutes. TSA is actively investigating the incident.” The couple ultimately touched down in L.A. … where they were greeted by a gaggle of paparazzi … but seemed incredibly calm considering all they had been through. This airline employee is going to lose his job and possibly catch a charge behind being a KimYe stan. The least Kim and Kanye could do is try to get homie a gig for his effort. Image via Splash
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West aren’t just making like Jesus Christ these days. They are making plans to take over every sector of the fashion universe. According to TMZ sources, the couple (kouple?) has already purchased a 14,000-square foot mansion in Bel Air. Now, they are looking at property in New York, Miami and Paris as well, all of which are major epicenters for the world’s hottest designers. Kim and Kanye have also spent the past few days in Brazil and insiders confirm they are open to purchasing a place in that country, too. How will they ever afford so many homes? Come on. That’s what a Kim Kardashian baby is for. Cha-ching!
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have some pretty nice digs on their “babymoon” – and are intent on keeping a low profile – in the idyllic island of Mustique. Expecting their first baby in July, Prince William and Kate Middleton are staying at a five-bedroom villa set in lush gardens, which costs $25,000 a week: Also enjoying paradise? William’s in-laws! Kate’s parents Carole and Mike and siblings James and Pippa Middleton all came along for some rest and relaxation. As for their babymoon privacy concerns? But on this visit, the couple are mostly keeping to themselves, and they have good reason. With a staff of six (including a private chef on standby), a 60-foot infinity pool and a media room and guest cottage, their luxury villa has everything they need. It’s also completely hidden from view if you’re on the main road of the island, with just the tips of the pitched roof line visible from the beach down below. No more Kate Middleton topless photos , in other words. Phew. When they do venture out, the stunning beach, which many believe to be the finest on the Caribbean island, is just a short walk down a private path from the house. On past trips the duo has made many a trip down that path to stroll on the beach, take quick dips in the ocean and also to snorkel out past the rocky cove. The beach is still public however, and the couple save their sunbathing for the villa’s expansive pool deck … again, for obvious reasons after their French holiday. From the lounge chairs, pregnant Kate can look along the surface of an infinity pool and out to the other islands of the Grenadines spread out in the ocean below. Mustique, a favorite of the Middletons for years, “is locked-down … that always means some royalty is here ,” according to a source. Sounds like they’ve got it covered. It wasn’t always this low-key for the royals. On previous visits, William has stopped by for a drink and to play the piano at the bar at Firefly, and the couple even participated on Sunday karaoke night … seriously.
