Looks like George Clooney is ready to retire the title of the eternal bachelor. After just seven months of dating, Clooney seems to have popped the question to his lawyer girlfriend Amal Alamuddin. Despite his reps declining to comment, several sources and media outlets are reporting that its true. Alamuddin was first spotted with a conspicuous ring on her left hand while the couple were out dining on Thursday at Nobu in Malibu with Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber. In the middle of their dinner, when pal Edward Norton approached their table they announced “we’re engaged!” The couple were first romantically linked in October of last year when the two were looking cozy at a dinner party together. This will be the second trip down the aisle for 52 year old Clooney who was married to Talia Blasam from 1989-1993. After they divorced, Clooney was quoted saying that he’ll never marry again at which point he stopped talking about the subject. Clooney has had a string of famous exes since his divorce including most recently Elisabetta Canalis and Stacey Keibler all of which have failed to tie down the famous actor. Congratulations to the newly engaged couple!

Gwen Stefani Pregnant With 3rd Child
Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale are expanding their family. The No Doubt singer, 43, and the Bush frontman, 47, have been married since 2002 and are already parents to two sons Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 4. Nearly a year ago, in an interview with Marie Claire Stefani stated that she had “really, really wanted” to give her boys a sibling back in 2010 but added that “it didn’t really work out.” Well now it looks like that wish is coming true. A source told Life & Style, which broke the news of Stefani’s pregnancy today, that “She and Gavin couldn’t be happier.”

Kate Middleton Is Pregnant!
This time it’s actually not a rumor. St. James’s Palace officially announced yesterday that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby. “Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby,” the palace said in a statement this morning. But amid all the excitement also came the news that Kate has been admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London. No need to worry though, the Duchess is only suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum—in other words, acute morning sickness (which is said to be common among women expecting twins!). She’s expected to remain in the hospital for just a few days and will rest at home after. As a result of the hospitalization, Kate’s upcoming scheduled duties have been cancelled for the rest of the week. No doubt intending to keep this highly public news as private as possible, there was no word on whether Kate and Will are expecting a boy or girl, or a possible due date. There has been speculation though that Kate has not yet hit the 12-week mark, but was forced to announce the pregnancy owing to her hospitalization. Best wishes to the royal-parents-to-be and for a healthy pregnancy.
More American Idol Drama
It seems like Nicki Minaj is having a hard time adjusting to being a new judge on American Idol. But this time Minaj’s beef isn’t with any of the current judges but rather with recently ousted judge, Steven Tyler. Minaj took to Twitter to share her less than kind thoughts about Tyler who she believes to have made a racist remark against her. In an interview with MTV, Tyler slammed the new judges on the show stating “You just have to give your opinion. It wasn’t hard for me, but I would imagine it’s hard for some people, and they need a manager to say ‘Shut the f— up, and just give them your opinion. “These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they’re in New York City, they’re scared to death; you’re not going to get the best [out of them]. If it was Bob Dylan Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips. Just saying.” Minaj’s response? “Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven’t seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet. I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven’t done anything to you. That’s a racist comment. You assume that I wouldn’t have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f–k yourself and worry about yourself babe.” Minaj later tweeted, “LOL lets make him a shirt that says “No Coloreds Allowed” then escort him down 2 Barbara Walters so he can tell how he was threatened w/guns. When Steven 1st went on Idol he was ridiculed by his peers & fans alike. Called a sell out. So what does he do? Ridicule the next judge.” Tyler hasn’t responded to any of Nicki’s tweets and Fox had no comment on the matter.
