For Kylie Jenner and Travi$ Scott, it’s a girl!

Congratulations to Kylie and Travis on their first child together!

The couple welcomed their daughter, Stormi Webster, into the world on Thursday, February 1st at 4:43 PM in Los Angeles. The reality TV star and cosmetics mogul broke her silence about the pregnancy rumors and apologized to fans via Instagram for keeping them “in the dark”. She also posted an eleven-minute video on her YouTube channel chronicling her pregnancy and how she and her friends prepared for the “most beautiful...and life changing time of her life”.

The news comes hours after he is found guilty of disorderly conduct in Arkansas after one of his concerts. The "Butterfly Effect" rapper, whose birth name is Jacques Webster, is required to pay a fine of up to $6000 in injury compensation during the event. Thankfully, he does not have to face jail time and will enjoy his first moments as a father.

And once again, congrats to you, Kylie and Travi$!

Eagles Win the Super Bowl!

In a 41-33 victory, the Eagles win their first Super Bowl! Congrats to Nick Foles on his first Super Bowl win and the rest of the team - job well done!

The city celebrated the victory all throughout! Broad Street was packed with thousands of viewers partying it up until all hours of the morning outside City Hall and the Ritz Carlton, whose sign collapsed! Fireworks and cheers filled the City of Brotherly Love with nothing but love Sunday evening. And I rest assure you, it will continue all throughout out the week.

As for the parade, it will take place on Thursday morning at 11 AM starting at Broad and Pattison! SEPTA began preparations this morning with a breaking news segment regarding limited trolley and subway activity as well as precautions for overcrowding. To all those in attendance (fingers crossed I will be able to go), have fun and congratulations Birds!!

Super Bowl Sunday is here! Top 5 Predictions For SB LII

Happy Game Day and Super Bowl LII! Patriots and Eagles fans alike are anxiously awaiting a game that will determine one of two opposite results: either Brady's last Super Bowl will go out with a bang or Nick Foles will lead the Birds to their first Super Bowl win. But no matter how the game ends, fans across the country will be talking about this game for years to come. 

In the midst of the 52nd Super Bowl, here are five predictions that have the streets (and the bleachers) talking: 

1. The Eagles will finally win

After two previous Super Bowl appearances, this could be the year the the Birds take the gold home! With a new quarterback following Carson Wentz's injury, Nick Foles has stepped in to replace him, proving to be more than adequate (if going to the Super Bowl doesn't prove so, I don't know what does)! His second stint with the Eagles could deem successful with tonight's impending win; and the streets of Philadelphia will be welcoming him and the team with open arms and plenty of fanfare. 


2. This Super Bowl could be Brady's last

For the past season, there has been speculation in regards to Tom Brady's retirement. Reports flew that Brady, along with his coach Bill Belichick's careers in football ending, could indeed be "hanging it up", according to ESPN anchor Dianna Russini. However, Brady's contract runs through the 2019 season, which he intends to work through; Belichick will most likely be with the Pats QB for the remainder of his career, given their 5 wins together. 


3. Justin Timberlake will bring out...Britney Spears?!

We heard rumors of an *NSYNC reunion or a sequel performance with Janet Jackson for this year's halftime show. But another rumor going around is the "Mirrors" crooner hittin' it one more time with former girlfriend Britney Spears! That would be quite the show and the dream of every '90s kid (myself included). But Spears has expressed neither interest nor a clue leading up to the show. 

4. P!nk will perform the National Anthem, flu or no flu

Throughout the week, P!nk along with the other Super Bowl performers has been practicing around the clock to perfect their live acts. The "What About Us" singer reportedly came down with the flu and will be performing away her illness. Since she is known for her raspy and edgy vocal style, she will kick off the game with a bang!

5. The victory parade in Philadelphia will be insane

Following the impending victory of the Eagles, Philadelphia will be closing down Broad Street for the victory parade this Tuesday. The time is still pending, but it will indeed be a day that Philly will never forget. And given that it just may be their first Super Bowl win, we wouldn't expect anything less!

'Spice Up Your Life'! The Spice Girls' First Group Photo in Years Leaves Fans in Frenzy


Victoria Beckham posted on her Instagram a picture with her fellow Spice Girls, confirming the news of a reunion!

Viva la Spice! The Spice Girls reunited for a group photo for the first time since 2012, when they performed for the closing ceremony at the Olympic Games in London. The iconic girl group met at the home of Geri Halliwell Horner ("Ginger Spice") to discuss their plans moving forward with their former manager powerhouse Simon Fuller. Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice") confirmed the news on her Instagram page with the caption "Love my girls!!! So many kisses!!! X Exciting c #friendshipneverends #girlpower". Ginger Spice also posted a photo with her former band-mates with the caption "Lovely seeing the girls #girlpower is alive and well 💗".

From left to right: Victoria ("Posh Spice"), Geri ("Ginger Spice"), Emma ("Baby Spice"), Mel C ("Sporty Spice") and Mel B ("Scary Spice") performing alongside The Who at the 2012 Olympic Games in London (Rolling Stone).
But don't expect the "Wannabe" quintet to be performing or recording in the studio anytime soon. Last year Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice") stated in an interview on a British morning talk show that a reunion tour "is not happening. At some point you've gotta know when it's time to say, 'That was great'". Additionally, the girls have family obligations and young children that will keep them from doing a full-blown world tour.

British magazine The Sun reports that the reunion may include an X-Factor-esque television talent show, a special edition compilation album celebrating their biggest hits, and endorsement deals. I mean, being a '90s kid, I wouldn't mind all of the above. And if they do a television show, it should be titled "'Wannabe' a Singer"!

Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Performance Tease

Just days before the Super Bowl, headlining halftime performer Justin Timberlake announced at a pre-game press conference that his performance will be “unlike anything done before”.

Will it mean that *NSYNC will make an appearance after all?! This may not come to fruition after former band mate Joey Fatone stated that he has not been in rehearsal for the show with anyone else in the band, thus saying “Bye Bye Bye” to the rumor. 

Amidst JT’s statement, many are still speculating that Janet Jackson will make a surprise guest appearance. Jackson has not commented on this rumor, but knowing the 2004 fallout with NFL and FOX Sports following the infamous breast exposing incident, this rumor also seems pretty far fetched. Although it would be funny if Janet gave it to JT good! LOL, JK. Or am I?

In other news, Justin’s new album “Man of the Woods” is out tomorrow. Check it out, all new JT with an all new sound and vibe! 

Kylie Jenner Pregnancy Rumors Persist: New KUWTK Episodes Reveal All!

Since Kylie Jenner was spotted early this past fall sporting an alleged baby bump, she has been MIA from virtually all her social media platforms and family photos, sending fans into a tailspin.
In September, she and some girlfriends went out on the town in Vegas to see her boyfriend-turned-alleged-baby-daddy rapper Travi$ Scott at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in a baggy T-shirt. Just a few days later, she was pictured running errands in LA wearing a similar getup. Adding to speculation is the Lip Kit mogul's absence from the KarJenner Christmas card and a lack of recent below-the-waist photos, particularly during mom Kris’s Christmas party.
Since her last public appearance, conspiracies have been flying in regards to her alleged pregnancy. First there was the rumor that she is expecting her first child with rapper ex-beau Tyga, whom she was with for three years. This doesn't seem to far fetched as the couple split last April and reportedly still love each other. Following pregnancy reports, he responded with "Hell nah thats my kid" via his Snapchat account.

Then there's the ongoing rumor that the youngest Jenner is her older half-sister Kim's gestational carrier. The fact that the sisters were not only expecting baby girls but were also expecting around the same time made many theorize about this allegation. Kim’s daughter Chicago (with rapper hubby Kanye West) was born in the wee hours of January 15th, while sources claim that Kylie is due to give birth early this month. The whole KarJenner clan was in attendance for the birth of the third and youngest Kimye offspring. Not such a coincidence amirite?!

The following week, Ky was photographed with BFF Jordyn and mama Kris in a construction lot last week allegedly checking out her new mansion for herself and her soon-to-be-born daughter. When she struggled to enter the vehicle, fans speculated that she was due at any day.

Let's not forget the ongoing reports that the cosmetics entrepreneur is no longer with Travis. This may not be necessarily true given that he is wrapping up his Birdz Eye View Tour in March, thus unable to see Kylie every day. Besides, someone's gotta help pay the (alleged) baby’s bills!

Now fans and followers are freaking out (myself included) about the upcoming episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In its fourteenth season, there have been two pregnancy reveals: one from Khloé (with Cavalier player boyfriend Tristan Thompson) and Kim expecting her third child with Kanye via gestational carrier. But Kylie has not appeared on the show as frequently as in the past due to people in Kylie’s camp "trying to exploit a certain situation" according to mama Kris.

That “certain situation” just might be revealed in episodes 19 and 20 titled "We're Expecting" and "It's a Girl", respectively, in the 22-episode season. A Wikipedia leak claims that the couple may be announcing their expected arrival soon and how they plan for the future together. But since it's Wikipedia, there's still some speculation over the situation.
Episodes 19 ("We're Expecting") and 20 ("It's a Girl!") will be when Kylie reveals her pregnancy with beau Travi$ Scott. 

I'm BACK!

 Hey guys!  I know it's been a minute (who I am kidding, two years) since my last post! But I am announcing that PKPK is back and better...
