Does this photo of Kandi Burruss’ husband Todd give clues of a pregnancy?

Posted on September 16, 2014

Facebook

Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kandi Burruss was most likely shopping for a friend in Los Angeles this weekend when she snapped her new husband Todd Tucker in the infant section of a shoe store.

Nonetheless, the Facebook share of the photo Tucker captioned “In LA shoe shopping! Hope y’all kickin it today and enjoying something” with his initials sent tongues flapping that the multi-award winning songwriter was expecting her second child.

If it were true, this would be her first with Tucker, a freelance producer who was part of the show’s production team while filming in South Africa when he started dating his new wife.

Burruss, who is 38, reportedly has said she is eager to start trying to have a child and of course several sites have jumped on this potential story and run with it. I suppose here we are too, huh?

Time will tell.

Jay Z hints that Beyonce may be pregnant

Posted on September 15, 2014

During a 2-day special performance extension of Jay Z and Beyonce‘s On-the-run tour at the Stade de France in Paris this weekend, Jay dropped a hint that his wife may be pregnant with the couple’s second child.

While performing the song “Beach is Better“, he changed up the verse “I replace it with another one” with the lyrics “pregnant with another one.” The switch up created a frenzy on the interwebs among fans of the dynamic married duo.

Hova showed the City of Light mad love when he added during the closing, “We love Paris..It’s special to us because we got engaged here and this is where baby Blue was conceived.”

Bey returned the love and told her hubby, “I’m your biggest fan. I love you,” to which he replied, asking the audience to give it up to the “greatest entertainer in the world. I love her. She’s my wife.”

So much divorce squelching fodder that we’re sure the haters will still dismiss as an act, but forget the haters cause you know? Haters are gonna hate. That’s what they do best.

Anyway, so Beyonce image control crew tried to put the rumors that circulated around Jay’s verse switch up by posting a photo of the two celebrating after the show holding champagne in glasses, but as it is a photo and not a video, we really don’t know if she drank any or it or if it was Martinelli‘s which is non-alcoholic! ha! You’re not fooling us, doll. (smile)

The two-night headline was filmed for an upcoming HBO special produced in conjunction with Live Nation. These two stay making money, tho, right?

Chelsea Clinton steps down from $600K NBC journalism gig

Posted on September 3, 2014

Mom-to-be Chelsea Clinton announced to People magazine on Friday that she is stepping down from her cushy $600,000 a year gig as a special correspondent to NBC in order to prepare for becoming a parent this fall with husband Marc Mezvinsky.

Clinton will stay on at her dad’s Clinton Foundation where she works on climate change, economic development, global health and women empowerment initiatives. The has traveled numerous times to Africa to introduce sustaining projects there for local communities.

The Oxford PhD holder raised some eyebrows when she started at NBC about 3 years ago because despite her advance degrees, she had very little practical journalism experience. Nonetheless, during her time at NBC groups she covered like Arkansas-based TOPPS program, for example, raised $300,000 after Clinton covered their work to filling “the hunger, education and safety gaps for kids of all ages” in the community.

Before getting hired, Clinton worked at McKinsey & Company and the Avenue Capital Group.

The couple have chosen to not find out the gender of the baby, who her mom potential 2016 US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been waiting on for years.

Last year, Chelsea told TODAY she planned to start trying to get pregnant after she became devastated over the death of her maternal grandmother.

How Having a Baby Can Revive your Career in Hollywood

Posted on September 3, 2014

In 2011, Mommyish’s did a post about so-called “DList” celebrities who got more famous after having a baby. Actually, it reminded me of a piece we did earlier, in January that year that writer and TV personality Teresa Strasser wrote for us, “Top Celebrity Baby Exploiters of 2010“.

In that piece, Strasser exalted about how pregnancy can easily launch a reality TV cast member into the public spotlight and on the cover of the top gossip mags.

That was also the year for the 20th anniversary of Demi Moore’s iconic Vanity Fair cover which we’ve determined was also the start of the public’s infectious interest in celebrity pregnancies.

And it’s gone even more mainstream in recent years.

While watching back episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (again late as usual), I noted Kim Kardashian stating that since she got pregnant, the paparazzi were even more ferocious and viral in search of pics. So true, as we’ve blogged before here, Kim, Kate Middleton, Victoria Beckham, Snooki and Beyonce‘s respective pregnancies garnered the most stories written by traditional media and other outlets that do not usually cover celebrity parents and pregnancy.

In year’s past, we’d say such media organizations and writers may have even looked down on gossip blogs and mags that “bumpwatched.”

Not anymore. They’re right here in the pepper pot with the US Weekly, In Touch Weekly, OK!, People, PopSugar, E!Online, CelebLaundry, Perez Hilton and BellyitchBlog‘s of the world!

Yes, the Celebrity Bumpwatch Phenomenon is alive and thriving.

Indeed!
