Kate Middleton is expecting a royal baby this July, her office confirmed Monday. That’s baby, singular. Rumors of Kate Middleton pregnant with twins? False. “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in July ,” read the simple statement. “The Duchess’ condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month,” the statement also said, referring to her recent hospitalization. Kate sought treatment in early December for severe morning sickness; the now-infamous Kate Middleton prank call resulted in a nurse’s suicide. A Palace source confirms that Kate is not expecting twins, despite recent speculation. Also, the couple will not be revealing the sex of the baby. A July arrival would allow the baby to share the same birth month as William’s late mother Diana, Princess of Wales, who was born on July 1. Insiders say that the timing of the announcement means they have likely had their scans to show that the pregnancy is going according to plan. There is clear relief around the Palace, especially after her hospitalization, that they have been able to release the news. “Happy days,” said a source. Indeed. We wish them all the best.

Is Kris Humprhries trying to hurt KimYe’s baby??? Kim certainly has her hands full. Not only is she expecting her first child with Kanye West, but Kris is bragging to friends that he’s prolonging their divorce in an effort to hurt her , according to a new report! Kris Humphries Prolonging Divorce With Kim Kardashain Via HollywoodLife reports: Since Kanye West announced that Kim Kardashian is pregnant with his baby, estranged husband Kris Humphries has reportedly been telling his friends that he’s “got all the power” now. “He brags to everyone that he has that power. He’s said it a million times,” a source close to Kris tells New York Daily News. “They can’t go to court until his basketball season is over, so he tells people that he is in control of her misery. When he found out about the baby, he was bragging to all of his friends that he wasn’t going to ‘allow’ her to be divorced when she had the baby. He intends to tell his attorney when they set a trial date next month that he can’t do it until late summer. It’s all planned and calculated,” the source adds. While Kim is not surprised by Kris’ antics at this point, she is shocked that he would try to get custody of her unborn baby girl. Kris will legally be “presumed” to be the father of Kim’s baby, as long as he is still married to her when the baby is born. A source close to Kim tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, “Kim was shocked when she found out that Kris could technically try to get custody. It sounds totally crazy! Why would he do that when it’s only going to make him look bad. But Kim wouldn’t put anything past Kris, all he cares about is hurting her, so of course she’s worried that he’ll do something to ruin the best moment of her life.” Our insider adds, “It’s upsetting for her, but she’s still not going to give in. Kim’s a fighter and even though a lot of people think that Kim took advantage of Kris it was the other way around. She did love him and she gave him a hundred percent so there’s no way she’s going to turn around and say it was a fraud – that would be lying to the court.” It is widely known that when women are stressed during pregnancy it can affect the unborn child, even leading to miscarriage in some cases. Do you think The “Dumped Hump” would be malicious and vindictive enough to try and hurt Kimmy Cakes during her pregnancy? WENN

Jimmy Clausen has made very few headlines as the backup quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. But the former Notre Dame star changed all that today when he Tweeted a photo of the shirt he plans to wear during the January 7 National Title game between his alma mater and Alabama. Check it out for yourself: Yes, Notre Dame is a Catholic university. We doubt he’ll receive much flak for that label. But referring to the school’s opponents as “cousins?” It’s hard not to wonder how some southern folks might feel about that. So you tell us, southern folks! What do you think of the Catholics. vs. Cousins t-shirt? It’s hilarious! It’s inappropriate! View Poll »
It’s been a wild ride lately for the cast of Teen Mom 2 … but is it about to get even wilder yet? According to the celebrity news (term used loosely) magazine cover below, you bet it is: So, apparently there’s some SHOCKING baby news on the horizon for the fabulous four. But who do you think it’s about?! Are Jenelle Evans and Courtland Rogers expecting, weeks after a quickie marriage? Is pregnant Leah Messer encountering more difficulties, as she did the last time? Did Maci Bookout of the original Teen Mom get pregnant again? By whom? Apparently in Jenelle’s case, she’s planning to “steal” son Jace back. This is because she doesn’t have custody of her own kid, of course. Always a good sign. Leah’s “difficult decision” sort of implies she’s ending the pregnancy, but we wouldn’t bet on it. As for Maci … a sister for Bentley? That she’s at least talked about in recent memory, but we’d be surprised at this point as well. Basically all lies most likely. Before long, actual drama will present itself though. You can bet on it with this crew. Case in point: Corey Simms and Miranda Patterson getting engaged!

He was stationed in South Carolina when his wife signed their unborn daughter over to a family of seven in Utah…SMH. According to The Daily Mail , the couple was having marital problems before 31-year-old drill instructor Terry Achane left his then pregnant wife for his new position. His daughter, whom he wanted to name Teleah, was given to Jared and Kristi Frei; and they’re fighting a judges order so they can keep ‘their’ daughter. Terry Achane says that he and his wife, Tira Bland, were having marital problems not long after learning she was pregnant in 2010, leading to her decision and his now spiraling struggle today despite a judge ordering the girl returned to him last October. The now ex-husband says Ms. Bland had suggested having an abortion or giving their child up for adoption – fearing she would end up as a single mother – but he said no, encouraging their daughter’s birth. It was just months later in February of 2011 that Mr. Achane found himself sent to Fort Jackson in South Carolina for work, believing he’d leave and come back a new dad. Ten days after his move, however, his wife gave birth to a premature baby and signed away their child before cutting all contact with her husband. Sent to live with Jared and Kristi Frei, who had spent the last few years struggling to naturally expand their family of five children, the baby found herself in the city of Spanish Fork. We knew that we were not done having children, but after years of sudden infertility and several miscarriages … we discovered somewhere down the line that Kristi had advanced endometriosis, and would not likely conceive or carry another child again,’ the Frei family write of their struggle in a blog aimed at raising money for their court battle. Turning to adoption, in early 2009 the Frei family grew their family by one more with a baby boy named James. Desiring to add one more child – ‘a close, similar sibling’ for James as they write – they found Mr. Achane’s daughter, whom they named Leah. ‘Since that eventful day, we have, as a family, come to know that this dream was a righteous desire blessed to fruition by God, and that Leah would be that child – and yet, little did we know the challenges and trials that awaited us in finding and fighting for this little girl,’ they write. The adoption agency, Adoption Center of Choice told the new family that Mr. Achane wasn’t aware of his daughter’s placement with them and he would most likely contest it if he had found out. The Tribune reports that Ms. Bland had given the adoption agency Mr. Achene’s former address in Texas for contact, knowing full well at the time that he was not living there. Kept in the dark throughout this with months of being unable to reach his wife, Mr. Achane asked a friend to visit her home in Texas who reported that the house appeared vacant. Feverishly calling anyone who may know where his wife could be, while fearing she may have carried out the abortion she once threatened to do, he learned from a family doctor that his wife was no longer pregnant but they could not legally disclose what had happened to the baby. An ounce of relief only came to the horrified man when his wife finally called him in June, telling him she had signed away their baby to the Frei family. ‘I believe she felt guilty at that point because she just made a call out of the blue,’ he said of his ex-wife’s phone call. Once he learned of his daughter’s fate, he immediately tried to track his little girl down but upon contact with the adoption center they refused to disclose any information on her whereabouts. The agency told the court in October that it was standard procedure to not share any information with a father of a potential adoptive child when asked. I am not a very religious person,’ Mr. Achane has since told the Tribune, ‘but thou shalt not steal.’ Speaking of the drawn out legal battle, he said: ‘If they prolong it, that is more time away from my daughter. There are precious moments I can’t get back. … It has been a year and a half now. There is no court order saying they have the right to my child. I just won the case. I want to get my daughter and raise my daughter,’ he said. Judge Darold McDade berated the Adoption Center of Choice’s handling as ‘utterly indefensible.’ ‘Once Mr. Achane contacted the Adoption Center of Choice … to let them know he opposed the adoption and wanted his daughter back, that should have been the end of this case,’ said Mr. McDade. ‘This is a case of human trafficking,’ Mr. Achane’s attorney Mark Wiser told the Tribune. ‘Children are being bought and sold. It is one thing what [adoption agencies] have been doing with unmarried biological fathers. It is in a new area when they are trying to take a child away from a married father who wants to have his child.’ When an attorney for the Frei family contacted Mr. Achane, asking him to consent to the adoption, he said no and demanded his little girl returned to him – to the Frei family’s complete surprise. ‘Over the last 19 months, despite the law requiring that a father show interest in his child and at least attempt regular communication to establish a bond, the father has never shown any interest in Leah other than to hire an attorney,’ the family writes in their blog. Despite the judge’s order to return the child within 60 days, the family now asks that his parental rights granting him custody of her be terminated. They accuse him of abandoning both the mother and baby during her pregnancy and therefore demonstrating no capability for raising the girl. Not going down without a fight, the Freis vow to appeal the judge’s decision, asking friends and family to support their case financially through their blog. They note having paid for ‘two already expensive adoptions (each costing around $25,000),’ with a continuing fight only requiring more money. Their online petition has since raised more than $20,000. A hearing has been set for January 16th of next year on the child’s transition back to her father. We know plenty of good fathers out there that get a bad rap. This family, their supporters who are giving them donations (wtf), and his ‘wife’ should be ashamed of themselves. Give the MAN his daughter back!! SMH Images via facebook
