Baby Bump: Mariah Carey Pregnant & It’s A Boy?!

Well, Mariah Carey still hasn’t really confirmed that she’s carrying a baby, but I think at this point, most of us are in agreement – Mariah is knocked up. How far along she is, and the gender of the baby is still in question. Fortunately, there is a very talkative “insider” who ran to Hollywood Life to dish about babies and due dates. Allegedly, Mariah is expecting a boy, and she’s due in March:

Congrats, Mariah! An insider tells HollyBaby.com that the diva and her husband, Nick Cannon, are expecting a son in March next year and are set to announce their happy news very soon!

Mariah Carey is four months pregnant with her first child — a boy! — a source close to the star tells HollyBaby.com. The Grammy award-winning singer and her husband, Nick Cannon, have been tight-lipped about her pregnancy, but she is expected to make an official announcement in the next couple of weeks when she begins promoting her new holiday album, ‘Merry Christmas II You’ (which is being released on Nov. 2).

“She’s having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn’t want to say anything is because she is 40, and she’s superstitious,” the insider says. “But she’s going to appear on Oprah and The View, so she’s planning on making the announcement soon.”

The insider says that the couple are over the moon about their impending arrival but “they haven’t decided whether they’ll raise the baby in New York or Los Angeles.” They are currently living in Nick’s LA home while renovations are being done on the former Bel Air home of Farrah Fawcett that Mariah bought last year for $7 million. The 11,750 square feet home has five bedrooms — plenty of room for a nursery and a giant closet for Mariah!

Mariah took fertility drugs to get pregnant, according to the insider, who says, “the fertility drugs were the reason for her weight gain earlier this year.” She has also given up drinking alcohol — “she stopped drinking back in March or April this year,” the source says.

While we would have loved to see the Hello Kitty wardrobe that Mariah’s daughter would wear, we’re excited that she’s expecting a little boy — and can’t wait to see her little lamb!

“Congratulations Mariah and Nick!”

P.S. Don’t forget to let Oprah know the true facts.

Just In: Oprah Speaks Out About Rihanna and Chris Brown

Oprah Winfrey is the latest celebrity weighing in on Rihanna and Chris Brown’s domestic drama. And she’s taking action, too.

“Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I was your friend, I would call you up and I would say, ‘Give it some time, get yourself some counseling, take care of yourself,’ ” Winfrey said during a live, roundtable discussion Friday on her talk show. “‘Heal yourself first.”

She additionally strongly advised, “And also, love doesn’t hurt. I’ve been saying this to women for years: ‘If a man hits you once, he will hit you again.’”

Moved by the allegations of abuse, and the fact that Rihanna is still dating Brown, Winfrey says she plans to dedicate an upcoming episode of her show to the topic of domestic violence.

“It makes me so sad that I said to the producers, ‘I want to do a show about it this week dedicated to all the Rihanna’s of the world,’ ” Winfrey said, citing a statistic that one out of four women in the country are battered.

Sitting at the table with Winfrey, Gayle King echoed her friend’s sentiments while she also weighed in about the pop stars’ relationship.

“My thing about this is, if you guys want to get back together, I’m okay with that, but at least take some time,” she said. “I’m so worried that she’s sending the wrong message to the fans. And [to] him, too.”

Plus: Chris Brown Agrees to Pay Rihanna 10 Million Dollars for Possible Future Assault?…

Rihanna has made Chris Brown sign a contract that stipulates that if he hits her again,he will have to pay her up to $10 million.

Chris Brown reportedly has scored a deal with the female R ‘n’ B singer, in which it is stated that he agrees to pay her “as much as $10 million” and possibly more “if he as much as squeezes her arm the wrong way.” Report on the deal that the twosome has scored was made public by Chicago Sun-Times on Friday, March 6.

Beside the cash, part of the deal also includes Chris and Rihanna’s plan to co-author a book about abuse. The pair, moreover, agrees to appear together at a number of talk shows to speak directly to their fans and the general public about abusive behavior.

“The only way Chris can possibly reverse things is to come clean and help raise awareness about abusive relationships,” a source close to Chris’ legal team told Chicago Sun-Times. “Obviously this is a public relations campaign, but it only will work if there’s genuine healing, contrition and a path to preventing future problems. … It’s another example of trying to turn a bad situation into something good … where people can learn to change habits,” added the source.

In the meantime, Access Hollywood has obtained an e-mail written by Chris’ publicist Michael Sitrick to Chicago Sun-Times’ columnist Bill Zwecker who wrote report on Chris and Rihanna’s deal, claiming in it that several elements of the columnist’s report are not true, including the book deal and the $10 million contractual agreement. Asked about the deal, Rihanna’s attorney, “Donald Etra, told Access Hollywood he knows nothing of such a deal.”

Rihanna’s dad says he lost his contact with her?…

Us Magazine interviewed Ronald Fenty, Rihanna’s father, very recently and I thought I’d share some of the key comments he made.

He was asked about what he thought about Chris Brown being charged with assault and making criminal threats. He says, “Justice can never be served in this situation. He can’t feel the pain she felt.”

Of having contact with his daughter he says he “can’t get on to her. Her mother can’t get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I’m lost.”

He says that he tried calling her phone number expecting his daughter to answer, but instead it was someone else who picked up the call.

The worried father explains, “I’ll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, “This is not Robyn’s number anymore.” I asked, “Do you work for Robyn? Do you deal with Robyn?” And the girl hung up, so I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I’m lost.”

Ronald claims the last text that he received from Rihanna read “Daddy, I miss you” and that he wrote back but never got a reply.

Oprah gives Advice to Rihanna & Chris Brown…

One of the most powerful women in the world, Oprah Winfrey, is speaking out about the Chris Brown-Rihanna incident.

Her advice for the recently reunited couple? “If I were your friend, I would call you up and say give it some time. Get yourself some counseling.”
