U.S.: The grandmother of the octet is ticked at her daughter, a.k.a. mom

Music: M.I.A. will be F.I.A. at the Grammys – on her due date!

  • She’s nine months preggers, kids. The “Paper Planes” singer with sketchy political ties has accepted an opportunity to perform at the Grammys this Sunday, where “Planes” is nominated for Record of the Year. But while that’s great and all (and props to the Grammy organizers for actually getting someone cool this year), she’s so pregnant right now that she’s about to burst. If she bursts during her performance, we may burst too – with laughter. source

Culture: Another little bundle of joy for the Afflecks

  • Jennifer Garner + Ben Affleck = Baby No. Two. Garner gave birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday. None of the really cool details, like name or photos, have been released to the press.
