Poor Thang: Wendy Williams Breaks Down In Tears Over Her Son Hating Her

Maybe this is why Wendy goes in on everybody …she says her own flesh and blood hates her. Wendy Williams Cries About Her Son Hating Her Somewhere Porsha is saying “karma is a beyotch.” According to Radar Online: Wendy Williams is jealous of Madonna‘s relationship with her 13-year-old son and the talk show host broke down, sobbing on her show Monday morning that her own teenage son hates her. Recapping the controversy last week when Madonna posted a photo of Rocco boxing with the caption “Mama said knock you out! #disn*gga,” Wendy got emotional, opening up about her own relationship with her 13-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr. “Rocco’s 13-years-old and Rocco is a real fan of his mother,” Wendy says, suddenly melting down into tears. “What I discovered this weekend is that my son doesn’t like me anymore. You know how it is, I know what it is… Kevin, I discovered this a while ago, but the ball just got smacked home this weekend.” The distraught mother continues, “You know, he’s all into his father, you know how 13-year-olds are, I was the same way when I was 13, but it is breaking my heart. “He’s the one who’s 13 and I get it… But it is breaking my heart. And he doesn’t care about Wendy on TV, he doesn’t care about any of that. Anyways, she’s lucky that he likes her.” Wendy says her son and husband, Kevin Hunter, are close at the moment, leaving her alone. “At this time, I can’t understand men who disappear from their kids lives. Thank God he has his buddy, and father,” she says. “He’s a father, he’s a buddy, they talk sneakers, they go for hair cuts, they speed off in the cars and I’m just left there like, ‘Why you so pissed?’ I’m not pissed, I’m a mom!” We hope they can patch things up. There is nothing like a mother’s love.

I didn’t want people to think that I’m canceling because I’m lazy or something. So, we just told people.” Kelly Clarkson on Today Clarkson is yet to find out the gender of the baby, but she reiterated her gut feeling that it will be a girl .

Justin Bieber on Critics: I Don’t Give a F-ck!

Justin Bieber has come under fire for a run of strange, pretty terrible behavior. He allegedly spit in his neighbor’s face last year. He definitely peed in a mop bucket . And he likely had sex this month with a porn star named Tati Neves . Bieber is aware of the criticism, but he makes his opinion on the haters very well known in the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. “I don’t give a f-ck,” he tells the publication. “I don’t give a f-ck what they say.” The artist isn’t lacking for self-confidence, either. “I know who I am and what I’m doing in my life and what I’ve accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being,” he says. “I’m happy with the man I’m becoming.” Manager and close friend Scooter Braun is featured alongside Bieber in the issue and says no one in the team’s entourage is worried about the star. “Say whatever the f-ck you want,” Braun tells critics. “Justin’s not going to go crazy. He’s not going to end up in rehab. He’s not going to end up a statistic. Nine months ago, they said he lost his mind – he hasn’t missed a show since. So we’re just going to shut up.” Bieber adds that he’s grown to have a number of trust issues due to stories leaking out and is only really leaning on Braun and his parents these days. As for his professional role models? “I’m very influenced by black culture, but I don’t think of it as black or white,” says Bieber. “It’s not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It’s a lifestyle – like a suaveness or a swag, per se. But I don’t really like to say the word [‘swag’] anymore. It’s kind of played out.” Does Bieber feel any kind of pressure when it comes to his career? Not at all. The guy is only 19 years old, remember. “Michael Jackson didn’t do Off the Wall until he was about 23,” Justin says of late performer’s 1979 breakout album. “Bad, not until he was, like, 25 [Jackson was 29]. I have all the time in the world.”

Kelly Clarkson: I’m Gonna Have a Girl!

This is very fortuitous. Kelly Clarkson announced last night that she’s pregnant with her first child … and the singer just happens to be featured in this weekend’s new issue of Parade . Talking about a potential baby! Kelly Clarkson Pregnant News “I’m totally gonna have a girl,” Clarkson gushes to Parade . “I’m manifesting it! And when I have a girl, you’re gonna be like, ‘That chick knew it!’” It’s not shocking, of course, that Kelly would have talked to the magazine about this topic prior to knowing for certain if she’s going to be a mother any time soon. Ever since getting married in Tennessee last month, the first American Idol has been open about her desire to have a baby. She recently told Jay Leno that she and husband Brandon Blackstock were trying like rabbits to get the job done. Clarkson’s parents split when she was five years old, so she doubted for awhile whether or not she could “properly” do the job herself. But she has been acting as the stepmother to Blackstock’s two kids – a 12-year old girl and seven-year old boy – and it’s given her a lot of confidence. “I’m gonna rock at being a mom! I’m almost looking at it like making a record, like, ‘I’m going to nail this!’” she says, adding: “People say money doesn’t solve everything but it solves a whole lot, so it’s nice to have the financial stability to be there [for my child], whether I’m able to fly home after shows or take her with me. See how I’m calling her ‘her’? I’m putting it out there!”
