Princess Love & Ray J Ready for Baby #2 ... But Is Ray's Little Buddy Good to Go?

Published | Updated

Ray J and Princess Love seem set for another bun in the oven, but someone's gotta step up -- or we should say GET up -- if it's gonna happen. Sorry Ray ... this is gonna hurt a bit.

The happy couple sat down with our Raquel Harper for the latest episode of BET's "Raq Rants," and proudly showed off their nearly 7-month-old daughter, Melody. As cute as she is, it sounds like mom and dad are already making plans for baby #2!

There's just one problem ... according to PL, anyway. She says Ray hasn't been able to get up to bat in the bedroom lately. He disputes that, saying he's always ready ... but Princess is sticking to her guns here. You decide who to believe.

Either way ... knock on wood, everything will get up and running soon. Little Melody's looking kinda lonely.

Meghan Markle Baby Bump is ... Moonlighting on Date Night

Published | Updated

Meghan Markle and that baby bump are coming along -- it's noticeably bigger since the last time we saw her out and about.

Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex hit up a Christmas carol service Tuesday night at St. Luke's Church in London. Harry, ever the gentleman, led the way for his bride as they slipped out after the service and, BOOM ... there it was!

Her baby bump -- more of a belly now -- was perfectly lit under the moon's spotlight. She's reportedly around 5 months pregnant.

Last time we saw Meghan, she had on an apron and her baby bump barely showed. She's due sometime next spring ... but with the colder weather coming soon, she might want to start thinking about bundling up.

Tick, tock.

THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE

'Love & Hip Hop' star Lyrica Anderson tells us her health got so bad after giving birth to her son, she felt like she was about to die.

Lyrica says after welcoming her and A1's baby boy, Ocean Zion Bentley, into the world Friday ... her health quickly deteriorated. She says things got so bad, doctors had to give her toothbrushes to itch her skin. Yikes!

Check out the clip ... Lyrica compares herself to one of the main characters from "Friday." Hints: PCP and Debo's pigeon coop.

Lyrica was still in her hospital bed as she updated us on all the scary things that started happening to her after the birth. The list is long and, honestly, might act as birth control for the squeamish.

The good news ... Ocean is doing well and Lyrica is on the mend.

YBN Almighty Jay Didn't Cheat on Blac Chyna ... Baby Mama Had First Dibs

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna's suspicions about YBN Almighty Jay cheating on her are inaccurate ... at least when it comes to his ex-GF, turned baby mama.

As you probably know ... BC dumped her 19-year-old piece earlier this summer, because she was fed up with YBN sliding into different chicks' DMs and possibly having a side piece.

His announcement over the weekend that he now has a new baby boy -- SirLucius Edward Scott-Bradley -- might seem to confirm her fears, but we're told the baby making went down before Chyna was in the picture.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Sources connected to YBN and the baby's mama, Dailyn Scott, tell us they met when she was working as a stylist for one of his music videos. We're told he knocked her up around December ... almost 2 months before he officially started dating BC, who was aware YBN was going to be a daddy soon.

SirLucius was born on September 4 at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. -- so the December conception tracks.

Almighty Jay was touring in Europe when the kid was born, but we're told he's been around ever since ... supporting the kid financially and seeing him as much as possible.

Meghan Markle Before Harry, There Was Cory ... Who Sure Looked in Love

Published | Updated

We already knew Meghan Markle had prior relationships before meeting Prince Harry -- but we didn't know just how lovey-dovey she was with her old boyfriends ... until now.

Here's a photo of Meghan cozying up with her old celeb chef flame, Cory Vitiello, while they dined in Toronto. In the pic, obtained by TMZ, you see Meg sitting on Cory's lap with his arms wrapped around her waist ... and him laying a big smooch on her cheek.

We're told this pic was taken at Atlas Restaurant in May 2016 -- which wasn't too long before she started seeing Harry across the pond. Remember ... Meghan and Harry reportedly began dating in the summer of '16, so something must've happened between this picturesque moment and whatever summer month Meghan got fixed up with Harry.

Even more interesting ... both Meghan and Cory went on to get hitched. Oh, and Cory's got a kid now too ... Meghan, of course, is expecting her first child with Harry.

Sounds like a great case of "Good Luck Chuck" that goes both ways.

Amy Schumer Back at It ... After Pregnancy Hospitalization

Amy was out and about in New York City Saturday ... this after she posted a pic of her in a hospital bed saying the baby was fine but she was suffering from hyperemesis -- AKA extreme morning sickness.

Amy canceled her Dallas show Friday night, but she was back in business Saturday, performing her comedy show in Newark, New Jersey, at the Performing Arts Center.

Amy Schumer Hospitalized for Pregnancy Issues ... Comedy Show Canceled

Published | Updated

Amy Schumer has been hospitalized with some pregnancy complications ... and, as a result, has had to cancel an upcoming comedy gig.

Sources close to the comedian tell us she was taken to a Texas hospital Thursday for nausea ... a common issue during the second trimester of a pregnancy. We are told both Amy and baby are okay and healthy, but just wanted to check with a doctor.

Schumer was scheduled to perform Thursday at Winspear Opera House, but that show has been canceled.

Amy was hospitalized back in April for a severe kidney infection and spent 5 days under doctor's care for the issue.

It was in late October she announced she and husband Chris Fischer were expecting their first child together.

Published | Updated

Waka Flocka Flame says he's ready to hang up the mic for that stroller life with his wifey, Tammy Rivera -- and it sounds like a baby could be coming sooner than later.

The Atlanta MC sat down with our very own Raquel Harper for Tuesday night's BET episode of "Raq Rants," and she asked him when he wants to stop rapping. Waka says he's going to retire ... and he's got a pretty good reason.

According to WFF ... he's achieved everything he's ever wanted from the rap game -- money, fame, a better life for himself and, of course, a lovely wife in Tammy ... both of whom used to star in "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." What more could a man want at this point?!?!

Well, there is one thing left on Waka's bucket list ... a little baby. Check out the clip to see when he and Tammy plan on popping out a kid of their own. It's right around the corner.

For the full interview ... watch "Raq Rants" on BET, which airs this Tuesday at 11 PM on BET. On the West Coast, if you have Dish or Direct TV, it's on at 8 PM.

Kate Upton & Justin Verlander It's a Girl!!!

Published | Updated

Kate Upton and Justin Verlander are the proud new parents of a baby girl ... and like her parents, she's already dominating the spotlight.

Kate announced Saturday on Instagram she gave birth to Genevieve Upton Verlander. She finished the caption with what appears to be Genevieve's birthday -- 11.7.18, which, of course, was Wednesday.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As we reported ... the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model announced back in July she was expecting her first kid. But, getting knocked up wasn't pulling her away from her S.I. duties. At the time she announced -- which BTW would have put her at around 5 months pregnant -- Kate was in Miami helping S.I. find its next roster of models. Gotta pay the bills.

She married the Houston Astros pitcher about a year ago. They had been dating for 5 years before tying the knot in Italy. Congrats!!!

Kenya Moore Gives Birth Early To 1st Child w/ Marc Daly

Published | Updated

Kenya Moore is a mom for the first time at age 47, but she gave birth this weekend a few weeks early due to health complications.

The 'RHOA' star revealed she'd given birth to a baby girl, Brooklyn Doris Daly, early Sunday morning with her husband, Marc Daly, by her side. Kenya said she'd be delivering her baby early because she'd developed preeclampsia. She was due around Thanksgiving.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Kenya appears to be doing better now, sending out an update on her health via Instagram, saying ... "She's so perfect and strong! Marc was incredible in the deliver room. I lost a lot of blood so I'm very weak but they both were strong for me."

She added ... "God is so good. We are blessed and doing well. My heart is so full at the abundance of love for our family! We love you all."

This would be Kenya's first kid ever, and a lot of people doubted she was even pregnant when she first made the announcement earlier this year. Her ultrasound put those questions to rest ... and, obviously, an actual baby does too.

Congrats!

Meghan Markle Whisked Away in Fiji ... Over Security Concerns

Published | Updated

Meghan Markle's popularity is becoming a problem, because she had to hightail it out of a community market in Fiji after the crowd swelled to a potentially dangerous level.

The Duchess of Sussex was jawboning it with vendors at Suva Market to meet female vendors who have worked on the U.N. Women's project "Markets for Change."

The crowd was so large it spilled into the street and Meghan's security felt so many folks wanted to get close to her security might lose control. The visit was planned for 15 minutes, but halfway through ... she beat a hasty retreat.

Meghan's reportedly 4 months pregnant. BTW ... Prince Harry wasn't there.

The couple is on the 9th day of a 16-day tour of the South Pacific.

Meghan Markle I'm Blue Out!!! No Hiding Baby Bump Now

Published | Updated

The jig is up for Meghan Markle ... even loose-fitting outfits like this blue gown can't hide what she's got growing in her belly.

Meghan and Prince Harry are now in Fiji -- the second country in their 16-day autumn tour -- and they kicked off the visit with an official welcoming ceremony ... then headed off to a state dinner hosted by Fiji's Prez, Jioji Konrote.

Harry opted for the classic tux while Meghan slipped into a blue cape dress ... fashion tribute to Fiji. If it wasn't obvious before, it sure is now ... Meghan's really showing. We don't know exactly how far along she is ... the Palace has only said she's due sometime in the Spring.

Pregnancy looks great on Megs, no doubt. Ditto for those gigantic diamond earrings she was rocking ... which were reportedly borrowed from Queen Elizabeth.

In-laws ... they ARE good for something.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Delay U.S. Tour ... Thanks a Lot, Royal Baby!

Published | Updated

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won't set foot on U.S. soil anytime soon, as previously scheduled, and it's all because of the royal bun in the oven ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pushing back their U.S. tour from Spring 2019 until Fall 2019, in light of Meg's pregnancy. We're told she's due sometime in the Spring, and they want to give her time to adjust to motherhood before hitting the road again.

Makes sense ... Meghan's already had to pump the brakes on some appearances this month, amid their 16-day tour through Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji.

There's a silver lining here for those dying to see the American princess. We're told when they do arrive stateside ... Meghan and Harry plan to bring their baby with them. He or she would be roughly 6 months old by then.

One more fun fact ... Meghan will still be an American citizen when she does visit -- she's still going through the process of becoming a British citizen. So, she'll be a true American princess in her homeland.

As for their baby? We broke the story ... there's a way the kid, a potential British monarch, could also become U.S. Prez. Think that'll draw a crowd?

Meghan Markle Back to Royal Duty

Published | Updated

Meghan Markle is torn ... between resting for her pregnancy, and fulfilling her royal duties with Prince Harry on this massive 16-day tour.

As of Monday, the Duchess of Sussex was back on her J-O-B ... visiting Fraser Island in Australia with Harry. She had been noticeably absent at the Invictus Games' cycling and sailing competitions Sunday.

The palace said Harry and Meghan "decided to cut back her schedule slightly for the next couple of days, ahead of the final week-and-a-half of the tour." It's a long 16-day tour ... they're also scheduled to visit Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.

Mama-to-be's gonna need to pace herself, for obvious reasons.

Prince Harry & Meghan Our Kid Could Be President ... But There's a Catch

Published | Updated

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have an interesting decision to make -- it has nothing to do with baby names, but it will decide whether their firstborn can be President ... of the good ole U.S. of A.

We did some digging and discovered Harry and Meghan will need to fill out special paperwork to make their royal baby a naturalized U.S. citizen. They have to sign it, not the kid -- meaning, he or she will have no choice in whether they can be an American.

The baby doesn't get an automatic U.S. citizenship because Meghan -- who will still be an American citizen when she gives birth -- and her child won't be living in the States. Hence, the special form is a must.

Our palace sources confirm Meghan intends to become a British citizen, but it's unclear if she will renounce her U.S. citizenship ... which makes the decision over her kid's citizenship so fascinating.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have until the child's 18th birthday to fill out the paperwork. If they get through the red tape -- and let's face it, the Royals can handle red tape -- the kid will be eligible to run for U.S. Prez.

Remember, Harry and Meghan's first child -- Victoria, Albert or whoever -- will be 7th in line for the British throne, while still satisfying the requirements to become POTUS. Kinda cool.
