Tiffani Thiessen Pregnant With First Child
Tiffani Thiessen and her husband, Brady Smith, are expecting their first child! People confirms that the news is true. Just back in August, she was saying that she wasn't going to stress over having a baby and look what happens! :)
"We are over the moon!" the couple said in a statement. "It's something we've wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it's actually happening."
How exciting for her - a new baby and a new show! Tiffani is starring on the USA drama White Collar.
The couple have been married since 2005. The new bundle of Joy is expected sometime in May. Congrats to them!

Janet Jackson And Jermain Dupri Are Still Together
This is according to People, at least. The two were rumored to have split around the time of Michael Jackson's untimely death, fueled in part by Janet Jackson telling Harper's Bazaar she was "single" and Jermaine Dupri's apparent absence last summer.
"They never really broke up," a source tells PEOPLE. "Jermaine wanted to give her some space when Michael died."
That sounds rather odd, but everyone grieves differently. Although Janet and Jermaine may still be dating, don't take it too far and assume a wedding is in the works.
"They've been saying that for years and you don't see a ring on my finger," [Jermaine] told PEOPLE on Friday at a Prive Las Vegas party to launch his Nu Pop Movement watch line. "I guess it just sounds good to have that rumor this time of the year or something."
Maybe they just hit a rough patch? Either way, I'm glad to see this long-term couple back together!

John Travolta And Kelly Preston Have Relied On Scientology To Cope With Son's Death
I still Cannot Even Imagine coping with the death of a child. John Travolta and Kelly Preston are breaking their silence as they promote their new film, 'Old Dogs,' which is also daughter Ella Bleu's big screen debut.
"We decided it was OK to come out and promote, to introduce her to the world and to give her a beautiful future in film," Travolta says during a round-table interview with the cast of the film.
"We've been working very hard every day as a family to heal."
John said this includes being around family, friends, and "almost daily religious counseling sessions."
"We have our own way of doing it, and it has been helping."
Both John and wife Kelly Preston said they appreciated all the support they've received.
Preston says the "outpouring of love from, really, worldwide has been extraordinary. It's been our friends, our family, our church. We partake in spiritual counseling pretty much daily.
"It's a tricky thing," she says. "Sometimes, something that's right for the moment is not right the next day. Being with people who are important to you, being with people that you love, I think that's what has primarily helped us the most. Sometimes, being alone, too."
Both John and Kelly declined to comment on the extortion case, which ended in a mistrial last month and will have to be retried.
'Old Dogs,' which also stars Robin Williams, is scheduled for release November 25.

Marla Sokoloff Married Alec Puro This Weekend
Anyone watch 'The 'Practice'? Marla Sokoloff from the drama married longtime boyfriend Alec Puro this weekend at Beverly Hill's Il Cielo restaurant in front of 100 guests. The paparazzi happened to be there to photograph the bride entering the ceremony. How sweet!
I am just LOVING that black sash around her waist. I wish that was in style 8 years ago when I married!
"Marla looked beyond stunning. She took a few deep breaths and briefly teared up before she entered the restaurant. She seemed a bit nervous, but still looked very happy," reports an onlooker.
So what did the inside of the restaurant look like?
Celebrity florist Mark's Garden decorated the venue with flowers in warm colors, with dark red roses. Twinkling lights, candles and chandeliers created a romantic mood.
The festivities begun with a reception where guests mingled while enjoying champagne, fruit and puff pastries. Tables were adorned with candles and roses, and classical music played.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds spent a few moments alone in a cozy backroom with a fireplace. The reception included an Italian sit-down dinner and dancing. At the end of the night, guests were treated to wedding cake from Buttercake Bakery.
Congrats to the happy couple!

Toni Braxton Splits From Her Husband
In what Essence.com is referring to as an exclusive, they announced that Toni Braxton has separated from her husband of eight years, Keri Lewis.
Keri was part of the group Mint Condition, and they have two children: Denim (age 7) and Diezel (age 6).
Toni's going through a rough time: on top of this, she's facing significant financial problems, including foreclosure on her home and legal problems with her insurance company after she had to cancel a series of concerts in 2008 due to a heart condition.
Poor Toni! When it rains, it pours.

Usher And Tameka Foster Raymond's Divorce Finalized
It is officially over for Usher and his wife of two years, Tameka Foster Raymond.
Court documents confirm that a Fulton County, Georgia judge issued a final decree Wednesday, severing ties between Usher Raymond IV and Tameka Foster Raymond, the singer's former stylist.
It sounds like this divorce certainly had its contentious moments, from the beginning when Usher filed the papers and Tameka's response was that the marriage was "still intact" to Usher's 911 call last month, claiming that Tameka had vandalized his cars (officers concluded there was no proof she had done the damage).
They do have two sons together, however: Usher Raymond V (who turns two this month) and Naviyd Ely Raymond (11 months old), so hopefully they can manage to co-parent effectively.

Jesse James Says Sandra Bullock Is Not A Part Of The Custody Dispute
I wondered why Janine Lindemulder focused so much on Sandra Bullock when talking about her custody dispute over five-year-old Sunny. Jesse James is the father and the one with legal custody!
Jesse apparently feels the same way.
"Sandra Bullock is not a party to this litigation," [Jesse's attorney] Slifman says in a statement to PEOPLE. "Mr. James's sole concern is for the safety, welfare and best interests of his daughter. The proper forum to resolve this case is in the courtroom."
I guess I can see where having another woman parent your child would be especially troubling, and I can also see where mentioning Sandra would help Janine get on television in the first place.
Regarding Janine's remarks, Jesse's attorney described them as "inaccurate and unfortunate."
This entire situation is sad. Hopefully they'll be able to find a resolution that works best for Sunny.
