Kelly Rowland Reacts To Beyonce's Pregnancy! (VIDEO)

2013-05-18T07:21:00.001-07:00

The reports of Beyonce being pregnant have left many of us excited, but some of us pretty confused.

While sources say that she is, in fact, pregnant with her second child, it's looks like it has become news to just about everyone, including her best friend Kelly Rowland!

The "Dirty Laundry" singer was recently spotted out in LA by TMZ, just a few hours after the news broke of Bey being with child, and her reaction was a bit questionable.

Kelly's first reaction was that of shock as she said "What?!" when the cameraman asked her what she thought of her BFF expecting.

The site reports that they think Kelly might have known that Beyonce could be pregnant like last time, since her answers to other questions were pretty fuzzy.

It's hard to tell what the truth is behind Bey being pregnant, but for now we'll have to wait until her official announcement!

REPORT: BEYONCÉ PREGNANT WITH SECOND CHILD

2013-05-18T07:10:00.001-07:00

Blue Ivy is going to be a big sister. After rampant rumors, it looks like Beyoncé and Jay-Z are expecting a second child.

Multiple sources confirm to E! News that Beyoncé is pregnant with baby #2. However, no official announcement has been made by the couple.

There were whispers of the 31-year-old singer’s pregnancy when she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala wearing a custom-made Givenchy gown that covered her stomach and hid her silhouette.

The speculation only increased after she was forced to cancel her concert in Antwerp, Belgium. Doctors ordered her to get some rest “as a result of dehydration and exhaustion.”

But she returned to the stage the next day, apologizing to her fans. “I’ve never postponed a show in my life,” she said in a handwritten note. “It was very hard for me.”

Bey recently expressed her desire to expand her family. “I would like more children. I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being big sister,” she told ABC News.

Beyoncé is set to launch the U.S. leg of “The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour” in L.A. on June 28. It’s unknown how the pregnancy will affect her touring plans.

KANYE WEST PERFORMS NEW MATERIAL, RANTS ABOUT PAPARAZZI AT ADULT SWIM UPFRONT PARTY [VIDEOS]

2013-05-16T06:03:00.001-07:00

Ahead of his performance on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” season finale, Kanye West took the stage at the Adult Swim Upfront Party at Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Wednesday. The G.O.O.D. Music chief stood in front of a giant pyramid and flashing lights while performing his hits and new material off his upcoming album.

He debuted an Auto-Tuned song called “Awesome,” where he sings about the special lady in his life (aka Kim Kardashian). “I’d rather do nothing with you than something new with somebody new,” sang ‘Ye as his baby mama sat in the audience.

He also delivered another one of his famous rants, addressing his recent run-in with the paparazzi. “Somebody asked me when you do ‘SNL,’ are you gonna do a skit about the paparazzi and shit and humanize yourself?” said Yeezy. “I ain’t here to apologize to no motherfuckers, man. It ain’t about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe I was demonized or maybe I was treated inhumane…”

He continued, “I ain’t no motherfu**in’ celebrity. I ain’t running for office. I ain’t kissing nobody’s motherfuckin’ babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and shit. I’m tryna make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be, and I don’t want nobody to ask nothing else of me.”

While an official announcement has yet to be made, Kanye’s sixth solo album is reportedly done. He has played it for his label and hinted at a June 18 release.

Say What?! Rich Families Hiring Disabled Tour Guides To Cut Lines At Disney World (DETAILS)

2013-05-16T05:59:00.001-07:00

The one percent is proving once again that they can do what they want...when they want...because they have the money.

In a new book by social anthropologist Dr. Wednesday Martin called "Primates of Park Avenue," she exposes the tricks that "upper crust" moms use to make their lives easier. One of which is using a "black market" connection to hire handicapped tour guides to walk them through Disney parks. This way, they can take advantage of the line-skipping entrances for disabled patrons.

How do these women sleep at night?

Here's a testimony from one of those rich mamas in the book:

"My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World'– the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours," one "rich mom" is quoted as saying. "You can't go to Disney without a tour concierge. This is how the 1 percent does Disney."

According to Gawker:

Though the so-called "black-market Disney guides" are said to charge in the neighborhood of $130 an hour for their services, the New York Post reports that the $1,040 bill at the end of an eight-hour tour is still far cheaper than the $310-$380 an hour the families would be paying for a Disney World fast pass and VIP guide.

"Who wants a speed pass when you can use your black-market handicapped guide to circumvent the lines all together?" Dr. Martin writes.

Oh Naw...just spend the money on legit passes if you have it! How rude.

Times Are Changing: White Kids Will No Longer Be The Majority In 5 To 6 Years

2013-05-16T05:36:00.003-07:00

As the Bible says “those that were last shall one day be first.” White people your time is up. It’s the age of Obama.

White Kids To Be The Minority

According to CNN Money

White, non-Hispanic kids will no longer make up the majority of America’s youth in just five to six years, according to Census Bureau projections released Wednesday.

Those projections, which include four different scenarios for population growth, estimate that today’s minority ethnic groups will soon account for at least half of the under-18 population, either in 2018 or 2019.

“This is going to start from the bottom of the age distribution and move its way up,” said William Frey, demographer and senior fellow for the Brookings Institution. “All of these projections show we’re moving to greater diversity in the United States.”

Already, more than half of American babies being born belong to racial and ethnic groups traditionally thought of as “minorities” — which means it could soon be time to toss that word out completely.

By the time those kids grow up to become adults — sometime between 2036 and 2042 — everyone in the working-age population (ages 18 to 64) will be a member of a group that comes up short of the 50% line.

Demographers call it a “minority-majority.” No one single racial or ethnic group will make up more than half of the population.

White, non-Hispanic people currently make up about 63% of the entire United States population. Starting in 2041, they’ll account for less than half, according to projections.

The Census Bureau said international migration will eventually surpass births, becoming the single largest driver of population growth by 2050. Births have been the main catalyst for U.S. population growth since at least 1850, when the Census Bureau started gathering the information.

“Our nation has had higher immigration rates in the past, particularly during the great waves of the late 19th and early 20th centuries,” Thomas Mesenbourg, Census Bureau senior adviser, said in a written statement. “This projected milestone reflects the mix of our nation’s declining fertility rates, the aging of the baby boomer population and continued immigration.”

Meanwhile, as the population ages and lifespans grow longer, the share of America’s population that’s of working age is on the decline. As of last year, people ages 18 to 64 accounted for roughly 63% of the U.S. population, but by 2060, their share could fall to 57%. Unless the retirement age also rises, that could cause a big problem for funding entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Do you think this will increase black people’s chances in the workforce and community?

Boyz II Men Struggle Through Embarrassing Old Navy Commercial [VIDEO]

2013-05-15T05:10:00.002-07:00

Boyz II Men's career has taken an interesting turn. The multi-platinum selling R&B group owned charts throughout the '90s, but have resorted to cheapening one of their biggest hits in a commercial for Old Navy.

In the clip, B2M mimic the words to "I'll Make Love To You," replacing them with "Love White Jeans on You."

Right.

The Philly collective-- dropped down from a foursome to a trio-- play the "complementary in flight entertainment" for passengers wearing white on an all white plane, to promote the clothing store's line of white jeans.

More than 20 years into the game, Sean Stockman, Wanye Morris, and Nathan Morris haven't missed a beat, unleashing a passionate mini-performance for the 30-second spot...but since they're singing about white jeans, the whole thing is just odd. They may not admit it, but there's tension in those lyrics. Boys II Men is wondering how they got so lost, as are we.

This isn't the first time the group has joined forces with Old Navy, they appeared in the company's holiday campaign last year.

Chief Keef Already Engaged At 17? [PHOTOS]

2013-05-15T01:05:00.000-07:00

Chief Keef has been out of jail since March, but apparently he's on the fast track to matrimony if rumors hold true. Yesterday (May 13), the Glory Boyz Entertainment star posted a MediaTakeOut photo and headline which announced a reported engagement to video vixen Pretty Mesha, and Sosa hasn't disputed the news thus far.

The pair confirmed they were an item publicly via Twitter last week, with Mesha and Keef exchanging words via their public timelines. After Keef shared the news headline from MediaTakeOut via Instagram, the rumor mill was charged up.

A quick glance at Mesha's Twitter page reveals that Keef fans are divided about his supposed life path with the model, but she seems to be taking it all in stride.

“I love you,” tweeted Mesha in one of many messages to her alleged fiancé. She added several other tweets, including “You b-tches love Sosa! And Mesha!” and “Yes I got ALL passwords and logins. Lmao I SEE you H-ES!”

Keef, months away from his 18^th birthday in August, is having a pretty decent spring. The Chicago native just joined Gucci Mane's Brick Squad crew and posted a photo of his personal line of Beats By Keef headphones over the weekend on Instagram.

Keef took a hit in the pockets in the past week however, after a judge ruled that the rapper has to pay the 15-year-old mother of his toddler daughter thousands of dollars in child support and day care expenses. The final amount will be settled in a hearing in June.

Check out some photos featuring Pretty Mesha on the following pages.

"I Had A Double Mastectomy:" Angelina Jolie Reveals Her Health Scare

2013-05-15T00:55:00.001-07:00

UPDATE: 12:30 PM EST

We're not the only one's looking up to Angelina Jolie for her courageous decision to undergo a double mastectomy. Her partner, Brad Pitt, also had some words about her major surgery.

“Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie’s choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus."

“All I want for is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family,” Pitt added.

Now that's love!

"I do not feel less of a woman."

That's what Angelina Jolie wrote in a New York Times op-ed about her difficult health decision to undergo a double mastectomy because she had an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer.

In the powerful piece, written entirely by Jolie, she reflects on her own mother's death after developing ovarian cancer at the age of 56 and writes that her children had “asked if the same thing could happen to me.” Jolie carries the same BRCA1 gene of her mother, which means she not only had an 87 percent risk of developing breast cancer, but also has a 50 percent chance of getting ovarian cancer.

Jolie proactively decided to take an extreme preventative measure of getting her breasts surgically removed. Here, she tells her story:

MY MOTHER fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.

We often speak of “Mommy’s mommy,” and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a “faulty” gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman.

Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a 65 percent risk of getting it, on average.

Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.

On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.

But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.

My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a “nipple delay,” which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area. This causes some pain and a lot of bruising, but it increases the chance of saving the nipple.

Two weeks later I had the major surgery, where the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place. The operation can take eight hours. You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science-fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life.

Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant. There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.

Jolie never fails to amaze me, what a strong woman! To read the rest of Jolie's emotional story, click here.

Is Beyoncé Pregnant with Baby No. 2?

2013-05-13T14:42:00.004-07:00

Is Blue Ivy Carter about to become a big sister?

The New York Post, citing multiple sources, says that Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z areexpecting a sibling for their daughter, now 15 months.

Beyoncé, 31, has made no secret about wanting to give her first-born a sibling, and a new bump watch has commenced as the singing diva continues on a world tour that ends in Brooklyn on Aug. 5.

But a source tells PEOPLE the baby may not be on the way just yet: "Beyoncé and Jay are planning for another baby after her tour is over and things calm down just a bit."

Most recently, Beyoncé appeared in a black and gold strapless Givenchy gown – with matching boots – at the punk-themed Met Gala in New York City. Her waist was cinched tightly with a grommeted black and gold belt.

She spoke to Good Morning Americarecently about the possibility of another child, but seemed open on the timing of when that might occur.

"I would like more children," Beyoncé said. "I think my daughter needs some company ... at some point, when it's supposed to happen."
