Kim Kardashian Embraces Pregnancy Curves in Flowing Beige Maxi-Dress, Flat Sandals



If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Kim Kardashian embraced her pregnancy curves during a frozen yogurt run on Wednesday, April 3, wearing a flowing beige off-shoulder maxi-dress that accentuated her very ample cleavage.
Kardashian, 32, also noticeably ditched her heels in favor of a pair of simple, flat thong sandals for the quick trip.

The pregnant reality star, who brought a few friends along for the excursion, looked ecstatic as she indulged in the sweet treats from the Sherman Oaks, Calif. shop.
Just last week, the Kourtney and Kim Take Miami star opened up about her reaction to all the press surrounding her growing baby bump in an interview with Good Morning America.

"Kourtney warned me when you become a mom and become pregnant, there will be this whole new group of critics that will criticize me for everything you do," she said on March 26. "If I wear one color clothes, I'm in this kind of mood. Or if I wear heels, they're harmful." 
The reality star has learned not to pay any mind to naysayers, however. In fact, she added, wearing flats actually physically "hurts" her.

"You know what, they actually hurt my back," she said by way of explaining why she usually opts for sky-high heels. "I love high heels … Whatever makes me feel good, I want to wear. And I love wearing heels. I'm trying the flats, but we'll see."
Kardashian and boyfriend Kanye West, 35, are expecting their happy bundle of joy in July.

Snoop Lion and Miley Cyrus Drop New Single!


Snoop Dogg Lion is officially the furthest thing from his former gangster rapper self -- he just dropped a new single with Disney star-turned-wannabe-punk-rocker, Miley Cyrus

And their new song is titled, "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" ... because the two totally make sense together, right?

Snoop Lion's part  isn't too bad, his reggae stuff is actually kind of cool ... but Miley, she sounds pretty auto-tuned (if you ask us). 

The 20-year-old sat down with Ryan Seacrest in March where she talked about her new music.

"I want this record to be different and a bunch of passion projects which the first thing I wouldn’t have calculated like, ‘Oh the first song I want to come out is me and Snoop Dogg.’ I never thought that would be [my first single], I’d think it’d be my own single first but I’ve been able to do these things where I’ve just been in the studio at the right time and these projects have just magically come.”

Miley may have been in the right place at the right time ... but what's Snoop's excuse?

BREAKING NEWS.............JUDGE TO KIM K. Put Divorce Ahead Of Your Perfume


Kim Kardashian's gonna think this stinks, but a judge is forcing her to bypass a perfume event to attend the start of her divorce trial ... Our source has learned.

According to court docs ... Kim wanted to move up the date for her long-overdue court showdown with estranged husband Kris Humphries -- because she had a previously scheduled work event in NYC.

We're told the event is a launch for a new fragrance.

The trial is set to begin on May 6, but Kim had filed a request for it to begin on May 3 -- a move KHump said didn't work for his calendar.

Ultimately, the judge turned down Kim's request, so ... perfume will have to wait.

Kim and Kris' attorneys are scheduled to meet next week to take one last stab at a settlement before going to trial

Mobile phone celebrates 40th anniversary


Mobile phone celebrates 40th anniversary



Martin Cooper, a senior engineer at Motorola, called a rival colleague at another telecoms company and announced he was speaking from "a 'real' cellular telephone".
In 2012 a report carried out by the International Telecommunication Union found that there were six billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide.
At the time the global population was seven billion.
"In 40 years we've moved rapidly from the mobile phone as a businessman's tool, through consumerisation and internet access to everything being connected," Dr Mike Short CBE, former president of the Institute of Engineering and Technology and Vice President of Telefonica Europe, told the BBC.
"In the future we will see a much wider range of devices - many of which will be wearable," he added.
"We will work more fully with all the senses. The move to glasses has begun - how can we use eye control to change and look at pages?
"Wearables, in terms of (smartphone) watches, are coming. We'll also see health measurement body vests that can communicate with your phone and then your doctor," said Dr Short.
Phone father
Martin Cooper, now aged 85, is renowned as the "father" of the mobile phone.
In a previous interview with the BBC he admitted he thought the initial cost of the devices (in 1983 the first models cost $3,500, or £2,300) might be prohibitive to the mobile phone becoming a mass-market product, but he did recognise that the hefty handsets would probably shrink.
"We did envision that some day the phone would be so small that you could hang it on your ear or even have it embedded under your skin," he said.
Mr Cooper said his vision for a mobile phone was first conceived in the late 1960s when the car telephone was invented by AT&T.
He wanted to create "something that would represent an individual so you could assign a number not to a place, not to a desk, not to a home but to a person," he said.
"It pleases me no end to have had some small impact on people's lives because these phones do make people's lives better. They promote productivity, they make people more comfortable, they make them feel safe and all of those things," Mr Cooper added.
He was also pleased to have been one step ahead of the competition.
"When you are a competitive entity like we were, it's one of the great satisfactions in life," he said.

Jocelyn Eve Stoker, better known by her stage name Joss Stone, is a British soul singer, songwriter and actress. Stone rose to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist
One man has been jailed for life and another awaits sentence after being convicted of conspiring to rob and kill the singer Joss Stone in a plot that, at times, bordered on a sinister farce.
Kevin Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, planned to decapitate the pop star and dump her body, but were stopped by police within a few miles of her rural Devon home after a series of blunders aroused suspicions. A jury took four hours on Wednesday to convict the two of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to rob after a three-week trial at Exeter crown court.
Sentencing Liverpool to a minimum 10 years and eight months before being eligible for parole, Judge Francis Gilbert QC told him: "You intended to rob her and kill her and dump her body in the river, according to your words, and then leave the country with your accomplice Junior Bradshaw." Sentencing on Bradshaw was adjourned to a later date.
The trial heard the would-be killers crashed as they drove to the scene of their planned crime and later got lost and had to ask for directions. They made no real attempt to hide an arsenal of weapons packed in their battered old Fiat Punto and helped detectives enormously by detailing their scheme to kill the singer – real name Jocelyn Stoker – in a bundle of notes culminating in one saying: "Once Jocelyn's dead … find a river to dump her."
On the day of their capture, Stone was at home relaxing. She had recently launched her own label, Stone'd Records, and had finished her fifth album LP1 in Nashville.
The unemployed assailants – childhood friends who shared a one-bedroom flat in the Longsight area of Manchester – left home at 2am on 13 June 2011 in their newly purchased car and headed for the Cullompton area of Devon.
They were armed with a samurai sword, hammers, a metal spike and knife and equipped with balaclavas, gloves, body bags, gaffer tape and a roll of plastic bags. They also had maps showing the area where the singer lived, including one marked: "Here Joss Stone."
Stopping at a service station on the M5 in Gloucestershire at dawn, they filled up with petrol and drove off without paying. As they left the service station Bradshaw crashed into metal railings and a mechanical digger. The front of the vehicle was badly damaged and Gloucestershire police attended. Officers said they would report the pair for motoring offences but did not believe the vehicle could be moved – and did not know they had previously left the service station without paying – so departed without searching the car.
The plot could have stopped there. But Liverpool and Bradshaw were nothing if not persistent. They got the car back on the road and arrived in Devon two hours later. However the lanes around Stone's home are narrow, complicated and confusing, and they got lost. In desperation they showed a postman a picture of Stone asking him where she lived, but he told them he did not know.
Later, three residents seeing them in their car appearing "agitated and behaving abnormally" all called police. A patrol car stopped the Fiat. The weapons and equipment were found and the pair were arrested for possessing offensive weapons and going equipped. As police searched the car more carefully – and later the men's flat in Manchester – they realised that something bigger than a robbery had been in the offing.
At the flat were a crossbow, a BB gun, and notes, one of which read: "Joscelyn [sic] Stoker … RIP for ever" and: "I don't kill just for dollars, only for good cause or reason." One mentioned decapitation and another read: "Once Jocelyn's dead … find a river to dump her." They also described her as a "she-devil" and took umbrage at her links to the monarchy (Stone has sung for the royals and was invited to Prince William's wedding). "Invited to Will's wedding by Queen. Where's the sense in that?" mused one note.
When she gave evidence, Stone told the jury she had been enjoying a "really nice" day until police banged on her door and told her they believed Liverpool and Bradshaw had been planning to rob her. It got worse when they returned later and told her that, actually, the pair had been planning to kill her.
The two refused to reveal their motivation. They did not appear to be fixated on Stone, and they did not even have copies of her CDs. Detectives have not ruled out others may have been involved.
Liverpool has previous convictions for assault and having bladed articles or knives in public places. In 2010 he was given a community sentence with a mental health requirement. Bradshaw has an IQ level often associated with a learning disability and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has been jailed 11 times for persistently breaching a court order after being convicted of exposing himself on the steps of Leeds town hall in 2006. After he was found sleeping rough in London and appearing at the Old Bailey, he was given a hospital order, and cared for in a mental health unit in Manchester between June 2009 and April 2010. On his discharge he went to stay with Liverpool, and stopped taking his medication.
By January 2011, police believe, the conspiracy plot was hatched. The pair had no computer at the flat. Instead Liverpool used a computer at his local library to research various artists, from Girls Aloud to Beyoncé, Dizzee Rascal and Eminem, before they fixed on Stone.
Texts to contacts in Manchester found by the police showed Liverpool had tried to source semi-automatic guns, silencer and night-vision kit. Bradshaw's fingerprints were not found on any of the weapons nor could any text messages or notes relating to the plot be attributed to him directly. He told the jury he had not even heard of Joss Stone before he was arrested and was just on a "day out".
Sentencing Liverpool the judge said it was clear he had been planning to rob someone of what he "hoped would be in excess of £1m". He had chosen Stone as a "random target" because he thought she was wealthy and assumed "she was a friend of the royal family" and would be able to give them that sort of amount.
He said Liverpool had recruited Bradshaw into the scheme. "It may have been … 'a crazy scheme from a crazy person and must be likely to fail' but when you decided to travel from Manchester to Devon you intended to carry it out," he said. He was considering a hybrid sentence for Bradshaw, meaning he would receive a custodial sentence but would most likely serve it in a secure psychiatric unit.
Stone lived among the community where she ran an "open house" to which neighbours were encouraged to pop in. She told the court she did not have a proper lock on her door or set her alarm. "But I do now," she added.
In a statement after the verdicts, she said: "I am relieved the trial is now over and that these men are no longer in a position to cause harm to anyone".

Lindsey Vonn “Convinced” Tiger Woods is Cheating With Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren?


Tiger Woods newest lover Lindsey Vonn is convinced that the self-confessed sex addict is cheating on her already,” reports the National Enquirer, which claims that the supposed “other woman” is the golfer’s ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.
That’s funny, considering the tabloid’s sister publication, Star, last week wrongly alleged Vonn was cheating on Woods with Kris Humphries.
Anyway, a so-called “source” tells the mag, “Tiger says that Lindsey is convinced he’s cheating on her with Elin. She feels betrayed and believes he is still in love with Elin.”
The tab says things “came to a head” when Vonn, Woods and Nordegren all attended the former couple’s daughter Sam’s T-ball game last month.
Seeing Woods and Nordegren together supposedly caused Vonn to “suffer a breakdown” and retreat to Woods’ car, says the mag.
The purported “insider” tattles, “Lindsey’s not happy at all,” adding, “Tiger says Lindsey told him if he can’t get Elin out of his mind, maybe he should go back to rehab for more therapy.”
OK, enough of this “source” says that Woods says that Vonn says nonsense.
The reality of the situation is that Nordegren has long moved on from Woods — she’s now reportedly dating billionaire Chris Cline — and now Woods is in a serious relationship, too.
In any case, our source checked in with a close Vonn insider, who tells us it’s absolutely NOT TRUE that the skier has any suspicions about Woods and Nordegren

Diddy Target Of New “Swatting” Prank

Diddy is the latest target of a “swatting” prank, in which someone uses a bogus emergency to send police racing to a celebrity’s home.
On Wednesday, cops were dispatched to the rap mogul’s Los Angeles house after a hoaxer reported that someone had been shot at the residence.
According to our source, more than a dozen police cars wound up at the property (and at Steve Carell’s home next door), having been “swatted” by the 911 prank.
While it’s obviously good news that no one was actually hurt or killed, it’s unfortunate that these “swatting” pranks have become so common in Hollywood, as they divert law enforcement personnel and resources from real crimes.
The minor who “swatted” Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber
 last year was eventually apprehended.

Tom Cruise has also been victimized, as was Chris Brown

Carlos Tevez handed 250 hours of community service for driving offences.


The Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been sentenced to 250 hours of community service and a six-month driving ban after pleading guilty at Macclesfield magistrates' court to driving while disqualified and without insurance.
Tevez admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance after being stopped as he left a golf club in a Porsche Cayenne on the afternoon of 7 March this year following an anonymous tip-off to police.
Elizabeth Depares, the chairwoman of the bench, told the Manchester City striker: "Mr Tevez you must realise you are a role model for thousands, if not millions, of fans. Nobody is above the law and you should not have been driving. We have heard that you are sorry. And it is now up to you to ensure you will not be brought back to court again."
Tevez was also ordered to pay fines and costs to a total of £1,145.
According to the probation officer, Mr Boliver, who interviewed Tevez before sentencing, the striker stated he "would welcome the opportunity to put something back into the community… He was very clear when I was talking to him that this was a very salutary lesson, the seriousness of this type of offence has come home to him and the likelihood of this happening again is highly unlikely."
Gwyn Lewis, Tevez's solicitor, told the court: "The whole experience from being arrested to being in the police station is all completely alien to him and very frightening."
After hearing argument from Lewis, known at City as "Merlin the Magician" for his abilities in court, the three-judge panel retired to consider what action Tevez should face.
There were two strands to Lewis's defence of Tevez. First, that having been given a six-month ban in January which was backdated to a previous offence for speeding in Morecambe in November his client had already served a large portion of his disqualification when was caught driving on 7 March.
Lewis also argued that Tevez's previous offences were for failing to complete documentation when other people had been driving cars registered to him, rather than him actually being behind the wheel.
The court heard that Tevez, who wore a cream V-neck sweater and was asked to stand throughout in the glass-windowed dock, had been caught after an "anonymous caller" tipped-off police that he had arrived at Mottram Hall Golf Club apparently driving a white Range Rover.
Kate Marchuk, for the prosecution, said: "There was a call from an anonymous caller that the defendant had driven a white Range Rover while disqualified. The officer confirmed this on the police national computer. There was a white Range Rover on the car park but Mr Tevez did not get into the car.
"There was, however, a white Porsche Cayenne parked at the car park and a check on the police national computer showed it to be registered to the defendant. Just after five that afternoon Mr Tevez went to that vehicle, got into the driver's seat and drove off.
"The officer stopped him and Mr Tevez was arrested and cautioned for driving while disqualified and for having no insurance. His reply was: 'I only live down the road, two minutes'."

MICHAEL JACKSON DRUG ADDICT ON TRIAL

Michael Jackson's intense and decades-long addiction to powerful prescription drugs will be front and center in his family's wrongful death trial ... which kicks off today.

Katherine Jackson and Michael's 3 kids are suing AEG Live, claiming the company negligently hired and supervised Dr. Conrad Murray ... who killed MJ with a massive overdose of Propofol.

TMZ broke numerous stories after MJ's death ... revealing how Jackson had at least 19 aliases to score Rx drugs from various doctors.  It was well known in L.A. and Beverly Hills medical circles that MJ would doctor shop to find professionals who would open their surgery centers to give him Propofol.  The doctors -- and dentists -- would justify the drug by saying they needed to put him under for minor procedures, such as acne removal.

We reported in one case ... a famed doctor used a gynecologist's office -- run by a doc who specialized in vaginal rejuvenation -- to perform a minor acne treatment under full anesthesia.

The Jackson family will argue AEG Live had a duty to monitor Murray.  The problem is ... Jackson's the one who found Murray in the first place and that Murray administered Propofol long before the doc signed on to the "This Is It" tour.

AEG has a slew of doctors on its witness list ... to make the case that Jackson's addiction was in full bloom long before it entered the picture.

Katherine and the kids are asking for more than $40 BILLION in damages.

CONRAD MURRAY SINGS LIKE A (DYING) CANARY Over MJ's Death


Conrad Murray has broken his silence about NOT testifying in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial ... and he did it by SINGING on live TV. 

Murray -- who is serving a 4-year sentence for killing MJ -- called into "Anderson Cooper 360" moments ago from jail. At first he sang the same old tune ... insisting he was innocent and in the process of appealing the case. 

But then he did something really, really weird -- belting out his version of "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot" (better sung by Nat King Cole)! 

Murray seemed to be explaining how much he and MJ had in common ... and why he's chosen to plead the 5th​ in Katherine Jackson's $40 billion suit against AEG -- but you gotta watch it, because his singing is super awkward ... and awful.

KOBE BRYANT Magic's Support of Gay Son IS AWESOME!


Kobe Bryant is awestruck by a former Lakers star who rivals him -- Magic Johnson ... telling our source Magic's support of his gay son is a lesson everyone, including pro athletes, should learn.

Our source broke the story ... Magic and Cookie are 100% behind their son, EJ, who is openly gay.  Kobe tells us ... "Of course Magic is supportive of and loves his son.  Why should anyone be surprised?"

Kobe says, "What I can't tolerate is a lack of tolerance."  

The strong implication -- tolerance is not just limited to parents and their kids, but to pro athletes whose teammates may soon come out of the closet. 

In case you aren't reading between the lines -- given Kobe's stature, his statement could have a huge impact on athletes coming out.

Lindsay Lohan's boob slips out of her dress in Brazil
Slipping out ... Lindsay

The troubled Hollywood star was left struggling with her skimpy frock as she tried to elegantly clamber out of the chopper after a flight in Brazil on Saturday.
Dressed in a long grey maxi dress with a pair of Beats by Dre headphones hung around her neck the actress stepped out of the aircraft and on to the runway flashing plenty of flesh from her right breast as she went.

The note, uploaded on the Huffington Post read: "I am telling you now if you are with Lindsay in Rio or you booked it, and anything happens to my daughter, I am holding you personally responsible.
"Judging from what has happened to in the past, and the way she looks down there from the pictures in the media, it's not a good thing. If you have anything to do with her being there, its on you. Count on it. "
