The Simple Life star found out that she was expecting the Good Charlotte frontman’s baby after taking a home pregnancy test, sources tell Us Weekly. An insider tells them, “She is extremely excited right now.” Nicole has so far refused to comment on the pregnancy reports, which started when she was snapped with a bloated belly, however multiple sources have confirmed that the rumours are true. After seeing how it all went down with Paris Hilton, I would get pregnant if I were her too =) That might just keep her skinny ass out of jail!

Chris Brown Suffering from Sophomore Slump?

R&B newcomer Chris Brown just might be headed into a sophomore slump before his 2nd album, entited “Exclusive,” is even released! The album is due for an August 28 release, but his label might be pondering on ideas to push the album back a couple of weeks since “Wall to Wall,” the first single, hasn’t been doing so well on the charts. The single hasn’t reached the top 10, 20, or even 50 on the Billboard Hot 100! As a matter of fact, as of the current issue of Billboard, Wall to Wall is sitting at #88 with a peak at #79 after 5 weeks. I hope they can recover by pushing out a second single. I’d hate to see Chris Brown go down like this…

This is kinda old but I wanted to post it, I think this young man is going places forreal, Jason Fox shows us how to do the “Aunt Jackie”!

Avril Lavigne Sued over “Girlfriend” TrackAvril Lavigne faces a lawsuit by the members of a 1970s rock band who claim her hit song “GIRLFRIEND” rips off one of their tunes. Songwriters Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer alleged in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court that Lavigne and her co-writers lifted their 1979 song “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” which was originally performed by new wave band The Rubinoos.

“We are not so naive as to chalk it up to some sort of cosmic coincidence,” Dunbar said in a statement Thursday. “The lyric, the meter, the rhythm — they’re identical.”

The first court date has been set for Aug. 28 in Oakland. A spokeswoman for Lavigne declined comment. The lawsuit is not the first mention of the similarities between the songs. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in a review published on Billboard magazine’s Web site, noted that the chorus of “Girlfriend” was a “total lift from the Rubinoos’ ‘I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.”‘ The Rubinoos toured and recorded from 1975 to 1983 and had a hit with a cover version of Tommy James and the Shondells’ “I Think We’re Alone Now.” They also wrote the theme song for the movie “Revenge of the Nerds.”

Uh-oh, looks like someone (definitely not Avril since she didn’t write the song) is in some hot water! We’ll, of course, keep you posted…

Nelly Furtado Engaged to Sound Engineer BoyfriendGrammy winner Nelly Furtado is engaged to sound engineer Demacio “Demo” Castellon, who worked on her hit 2006 album Loose, PEOPLE confirms. Timbaland, who is a friend of Furtado, gave a one-word reply when asked if the engagement was true: “Yes.” The two had been dating for about a year and a half.

Furtado has a 3-year-old daughter with DJ and producer Jasper “Lil’ Jaz” Gahunia. They split in 2005 after four years together, but Furtado told Blender: “We’re fully active co-parents and really close friends.” When asked why the two had never married, Furtado said, “I’m kind of modern. I don’t really live by society’s standards. Maybe in the next five years I’ll get married, have more kids. One grandmother had eight kids, the other had 10. If I have that many kids, then I would need a hubby.” CONTINUE READING
