Selena Gomez Confirmed Pregnant?

An article from Weekly World News confirms that Selena Gomez is 4 weeks into pregnancy with Justin Bieber's child. They've been so public with their relationship I guess it becomes the natural follow up question. But given that my daughter adores Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, I'd like to hope it's not true. She is one of the most beautiful young artists to-date and it would be a shame that she'd end up down that road at such a young age.

After being rushed to the hospital after her guest appearance on "The Tonight Show," many speculations have circulated that nausea coupled with an overdoes of public display of affection might have induced pregnancy

Weekly World News reported that publicists for Gomez and Bieber are both denying the pregnancy, but WWN talked to insiders in both the Gomez and Bieber camps and they confirmed that Selena is pregnant.  They also told WWN that both are “thrilled” and can’t wait to have the baby.

New Series: Secret Circle Similarities To "The Craft"

If you're like me and you're a TV junky, you'd know that there's a new series out called Secret Circle about young witches. I just saw the pilot episode today. It was quite amusing. For the benefit of those who haven't seen it, here's the trailer



Anyway this series reminded me so much of the1996 movie "The Craft" - many elements were so similar that I couldn't help but compare

Check out the four girls in both posters. Please ignore the boys. I think they're there because a huge population of their US target market is probably composed of female teenagers

There's the bad girl -  hair tied back with rather thick eye liner. The innocent looking star - very similar to Robin Tunney from 1996 and the girl on the left looks a lot like Neve Campbell too. They also have a curly co-star very much like Rachel True

Now I don't know about you but it looks like they just copied the formula and added a few twists to it. Of course some of the more advanced cinematography is always appreciated

Sarah Michelle Gellar Previously Known As Buffy Returns To The Small Screen With New Mystery Series - Ringer

I grew up watching Sarah Michelle Gellar on television as Buffy The Vampire Slayer. She was so cognizant to the series that I think she may have found it difficult to star in anything else. Anyone else she portrayed seemed to look like Buffy.

Now that she's all grown up, Sarah Michelle Gellar returns in a new mystery series where she plays twins. In this thriller, both sisters have their own secrets.

One is a mess and the other seems to lead a perfect life. But when the seemingly perfect sister dies, messed up Sarah Michelle Gellar takes on her life and learns the hard way how many and how heavy her burdens were.

Watch the trailer here

Heidi Klum's Legs Insured For $2M

A creature that looks like that deserves to be insured.


In a Daily Mail UK article, the 38-year-old mother of 4 and host of Project Runway, Heidi Klum confessed that her legs are insured for two million dollars.

Apparently not even legs like hers can be priced evenly as one of them (left leg) has a scar (gasp!) from broken glass while the right leg is still in its tip top form.

Wow now that's what you call valuable assets

Justin Bieber Takes Over Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd?

Rumor is out that Justin Bieber will be taking over the series Punk'd in lieu of Ashton Kutcher. Apparently the first vicitom will be Taylor Swift. Not that exciting if we all know about it now, but I haven't really seen Justin Bieber in action yet (I mean outside of him singing girly songs). I heard he was good on CSI but I still have to see how good he is as a host. Justin Bieber is pretty lucky to be getting so many opportunities to do a variety of things. Unlike other young stars, he got to appear on many different kinds of shows doing a lot of different things aside from singing.

I heard he waited for Usher in an open parking lot just to be able to submit his demo tape. I guess it paid off. But how will he do as the new host of Punk'd? I don't think it'll be that good, but I could be wrong.
