Karla Vanessa Perez, a Mexican woman already nicknamed NuevaMom by TMZ and other celebrity gossip sites, is reportedly pregnant with nine kids! NINE! That puts Octomom to shame! Or at least beats her by one embryo. Perez is a month away from giving birth to six girls and three boys . Like Nadya Suleman, fertility treatments led to her record-breaking multiple pregnancy. This is not Perez. It’s Octomom photoshopped in front of a Mexican flag . Perez confirmed the news to Mexico’s Notimex news agency, saying, “It’s very early to think of names for the babies … first I hope that everything goes well.” We hope so too … during the pregnancy and afterward. In Octomom’s case, it has not, judging by the fact that she’s now on welfare and may lose her kids . No word yet if NuevaMom is also unmarried, with six offspring already, financially insolvent to the point where her kids have to poop outside, and/or insane.

As Kenny Powers (presumably) rides off into the sunset this Sunday night, we pay homage to HBO’s best-kept secret. By James Montgomery Danny McBride in “Eastbound and Down” Photo: HBO “Stevie, you weak mother—-er, you listen to me right now. You have made an ass-ton of stupid choices in Myrtle Beach; this is the moment of truth. Now is not the time to lay on the ground like a bald f—ing baby. Now is the time to be a f—ing man.” That was Kenny Powers on last Sunday’s penultimate episode of “
Now, you may have never sat down and read a cookbook before. That’s understandable. But you’ve also (presumably) never gotten your grubby little paws on Annick Giroux , aka the Morbid Chef ‘s, totally metal, totally tasty cookbook Hellbent for Cooking . Hellbent for Cooking collects 101 recipes submitted by bands from 32 countries (all test-driven by the Morbid Chef herself) into an virtual mosh pit of international cuisine. Ever wondered what black metal pioneers Mayhem, Brazilian thrash-metal kings Sepultura or those crazy motherfuckers in GWAR like to eat when they’re not banging their heads? Not only will Hellbent for Cooking answer those questions, it’ll show you how to cook it, too. Now that the cookbook is complete, Annick is traveling the world and writing about it on her blog Into the Void . If you ever wanted to know how to find the best metal bar in Mexico City or one of two underground metal record stores in Osaka, then Into the Void can help you out. Since she’s in the middle of her “world tour”, we caught up with Annick by email. We were told it might “take a while” for her to get back to us, since internet access can be spotty on the road, but only a few days later we received this missive from Kathmandu…
After a controversial courtship, brief breakup and dubious reconciliation, The Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are still giving it a go. The California winemaker, 29, and the model, 28, are moving in together at the San Francisco pad Flajnik shares with two pals, according to Us Weekly . They’re in the process of looking for their own place now, but before they find that nest, the pair went on a sexy vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico . During their five-day break, Courtney Robertson has been showing off her famous figure in a tiny bikini, her shaggy man dutifully by her side at the pool. Although Robertson has dealt with public disdain for her very, very bad behavior on The Bachelor, “she wants to save this relationship,” a source tells Us . Prior to the trip, an onlooker at San Francisco’s Park Tavern observed the engaged pair looking “very snuggly… Ben had his arm around her the entire time.” Robertson is still wearing her 3-carat Neil Lane ring from Chris Harrison Ben, FYI. If they’re going to crash and burn, they’re giving it their best shot first. What do you think: Any way this is gonna work? [Photos: Fame/Flynet]
Cuba Gooding wildin’ out with white women, surprise surprise… According to a Jezebel story: What’s Cuba Gooding Jr. up to these days? Well, there’s Red Tails — and, according to three women in New Mexico, a whole lot of groping. The women say he harassed all of them at Maloney’s Tavern in Albuquerque — and they have pictures. Sara (all the women I talked to asked that their last names not be used) told me: At about midnight on March 1st, Cuba Gooding Jr. waltzed into the bar we were at and proceeded to sexually harass a number of the [women there] and assault (punch) a [man] for attempting to take a picture of Cuba receiving a lap dance. The sexual harassment occurred when women would be taking pictures with him; he would grab butt cheeks during the picture taking and when women reacted negatively to that, he would proceed to either touch women’s breasts or tell them that he “loved them.” He told me that he loved me because his wife’s name is also Sara. Classy. Her friend Meagan told me that Gooding grabbed her a$$ (ed.), and confirmed that he tried to grab Sara’s chest. She also said that after leaving the area, they ran into him again on the dance floor, where he grabbed Meagan’s breast and pinched her nipple. She said he was repeatedly bothering and harassing women even after they told him to stop. A third woman, Molly, says, Cuba Gooding Jr. came into Maloney’s Pub in Albuquerque on March 1st, and the bar was fairly crowded at the time. No one seemed to notice or realize who he was when he first entered, and he inappropriately touched [Sara] and she immediately dismissed him. Someone then recognized him and swarms of people started crowding around him to take pictures. Sara and I took a picture with him, and he attempted to grab her breasts in the process. Later on the night, he came up to me, grabbed my face, and kissed my cheek. He asked where I was staying and told me I would be staying with him tonight, making lewd comments about his plans to sleep with me that night. He mentioned that he his happily married with three kids, but “not tonight.” He also said I was “probably like 12″ years old (I am actually 23 years old). I also witnessed him inappropriately touching a friend of mine, [Meagan], which caused her to be extremely upset. Another woman in the bar gave him a lap dance and when a man tried to take a picture, Gooding grabbed the phone, threatening to “break it in half,” and followed him to the bathroom, where he apparently punched him. Hey Cuba, remember that OTHER white lady that you were standing next to in front of all those people that day? Yeah, her. SHE’S YOUR WIFE! YOU’RE MARRIED LIKE A MUHFUGGA MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!? Hit the flippy to see the drunken pictures of sorry-azz Cuba attempting to get his freak on! Images via WENN/Jezebel/Facebook

Who asked this guy for his shady opinion?? Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham and a prominent evangelical leader in his own right, waded into contentious waters Tuesday when asked for his views on the religious beliefs of President Obama and the GOP hopefuls. Graham, the CEO and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, told a Morning Joe panel he couldn’t say for certain that Obama is a Christian. “You have to ask him. I cannot answer that question for anybody. All I know is I’m a sinner, and that God has forgiven me of my sins,” Graham said. “You have to ask every person. He has said he’s a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is.” But Graham also said he couldn’t “categorically” say Obama wasn’t a Muslim, in part, because Islam has gotten a “free pass” under Obama. Graham also said the Muslim world sees Obama as a “son of Islam,” because the president’s father and grandfather were Muslim. According to Edina Lekovic, director of policy at the Muslim Public Affairs Council, being born in a Muslim family doesn’t make one a Muslim. A person has to make an active choice to become a Muslim, Lekovic said. Obama has said again and again that he is a Christian, both as a presidential candidate and as president. “I’m a Christian by choice,” Obama told a group of New Mexico voters last September, answering a question from a member of the audience. He said he has embraced his faith even though growing up, “my family didn’t, frankly. They weren’t folks who went to church every week.” In Chicago, Obama was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ for years, but he quit in May 2008 after videos of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racially-divisive sermons surfaced on the Web. “Our relations with Trinity have been strained by the divisive statements of Reverend Wright, which sharply conflict with our own views,” Obama and his wife Michelle wrote at the time. The debate over the president’s faith was brought up again on the campaign trail this Saturday, when Rick Santorum told a Tea Party crowd in Columbus, Ohio, that Obama’s agenda is “not about you. It’s not about you. It’s not about your quality of life. It’s not about your job. It’s about some phony ideal, some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology.” Thoughts?? Source More On Bossip! R.I.P.

As Adele marks one year on the Billboard charts, we look at 21 amazing facts about the equally amazing 21. By Gil Kaufman and James Montgomery Adele Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic The traditional gift for a one-year anniversary is paper. Though, considering that Adele has sold more than 6 million copies of her breakthrough album 21 since its U.S. release one year ago this week, trust us, paper is the one thing the Grammy-winning British songbird has plenty of. What she’s also racked up over the past 52 weeks is a gang of awards, records and amazing feats of music industry daring that most people thought just weren’t possible in the download era. So, on the anniversary of the unstoppable album’s chart debut, we thought we’d take a look back at the year that was, with 21 amazing facts about 21 . 1. In February 2011, 21 debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with first-week sales of 352,000 copies. It stayed in the top three for 24 consecutive weeks and has never fallen out of the top 10 since its release. 2. In the year since its release, 21 ‘s lowest chart position was #7, in November 2011. The following week, it was back at #2, and it hasn’t left the top three since. 3. With her , Adele has broken the record previously held by the late Whitney Houston ‘s soundtrack to “The Bodyguard” by notching 21 non-consecutive weeks at #1. 4. The album’s 21 weeks atop the chart also mean that it spent a staggering 40 percent of the past year as the country’s #1 album. 5. 21 was not only the best-selling album of 2011 in the U.S. — with sales of more than 5.8 million — it’s also the best-selling digital album of all time in this country, racking up more than 2 million downloads to date. 6. The album debuted at #1 in the U.K. upon its release on January 30, 2011, and held that spot for four weeks. After she sang “Someone Like You” on the BRIT Awards telecast, sales increased by nearly 900 percent on Amazon.co.uk within an hour of her performance. She also set a Guinness World Record in September 2011 by becoming the first female artist to have two singles and two albums in the U.K. top five simultaneously. 7. 21 was also the best-selling album of the 21st century in the U.K., passing Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black. 8. 21 has topped the charts in 27 different countries, including Switzerland, Sweden, Mexico, Poland and Greece, and has sold more than 17 million copies worldwide. 9. In the U.S. alone, 21 has sold more copies in one year than Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, Rihanna’s Talk That Talk and Beyonc
