•’Tis the season for coupledom and crazy announcements! First Chris Brown and Rihanna cavort at a Knicks game on Christmas day, then Kanye West announces girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy mere days before the New Year. Kanye spilled the beans at his December 30th Atlantic City concert, lovingly dubbing Kim his “baby momma.”
The timing couldn’t be better for the attention craving twosome–congrats to them! Sidenote: That’s going to be one cute kid. (Celebrity-Gossip)
•Though nothing’s confirmed, a little birdie told the The New York Daily News that Beyonce will be covering Vogue’s March issue. As with all things celebrity related, it’s all about timing, and Beyonce’s Superbowl performance on February 3rd would coincide quite nicely with Vogue’s March issue newsstand release. If it’s true, we know Sasha Fierce is going to bring it! Would you pick up a copy? (NY Daily News/Huffington Post)
*Stella McCartney received Britain’s OBE award this weekend for her services to the fashion industry. OBE, which stands for Order of the British Empire, is an order of chivalry awarded to British nationals or anyone who makes an impact for the UK. Congrats! (Vogue UK)

Kim K is pregnant. Kayne confirmed it at his gig. Congrats to the couple. This is going to be one hella of a pregnancy watch.
December 31, 2012 10:53 am
OMG – wow. Kimmie didnt learn from the marriage about trying to catch up with her sisters. Congrats to them both.
December 31, 2012 10:55 am
Hmmm. How ironic! Reggie Bush just announced his gf is expecting. KimYe are attention seekers so I knew this was bound to happen. I just wish it was Khloe who was pregnant, they’ve been married for awhile. Too bad they’re having fertility issues.
December 31, 2012 10:56 am
I wonder if she’ll give the baby up after 72 days. And that whole “baby mother” crap IS NOT CUTE!!!
Dating black men is VERY different than raising a BLACK CHILD. Hopefully it comes out perfect. If not, we all know she’ll pass it to Khloe. SMH. Don’t let it come out dark skinned either. You can’t get rid of child because it doesn’t match your shoes.
I feel sorry for this child already. Are narcissists capable of caring and compassion? Just wondering.
December 31, 2012 10:56 am
Children are God’s blessings. Congrats to them nonetheless!
December 31, 2012 10:58 am
Im happy for Kim K anf Kanye I just think its a tad bit funnythat he decided to knocked somebody up when Amber is pregnant
December 31, 2012 11:01 am
Hollywood is so ratchett now. People returning to their abusers, having kids out of wedlock, drug addictions, ect. Just goes to show just because you have money does not mean you are perfect. Hoping a wedding will be soon to follow for them. OAN I am on the edge of my seat waitingfor Bey’s Superbowl performance.
December 31, 2012 11:01 am
@Tiffany, get a grip. Just leave your congratulations and keep it moving smh. Anyway congrats to them, a child is a blessing.
December 31, 2012 11:04 am
wtf/
December 31, 2012 11:05 am
@Tiffany, talk about judgemental…U sound soooooooo bitter…why u mad
December 31, 2012 11:07 am
I’ll have my opinion just like you have yours. WTF. Don’t start that internet thugging. Please. You don’t like my comment. Who cares. Who the F#ck are you to tell me I can’t comment while you’re doing the same thing I just did?
December 31, 2012 11:19 am
Let me find some FUQs to give! Bring on the baby pimping Kartrashians!
December 31, 2012 11:33 am
Personally, I think this is another publicity stunt. I don’t think she’s pregnant.
December 31, 2012 11:50 am
Congrats to Kimye.
December 31, 2012 11:53 am
Yayyyyyyyyy for Kanye and Kim, I feel like I know them hahahahaha!
December 31, 2012 11:55 am
@Tiffany man must have left her for a white woman. Bitter Much??
Congrats to them both!! At least the baby will not have to live in a struggling household, like half the babies being born today. Im Just Sayin
December 31, 2012 11:56 am
isn’t she still married?
December 31, 2012 12:01 pm
Did he have to say “baby momma”? How about my love, or my girl? Anyway Congrats they will have a beautiful baby!
December 31, 2012 12:03 pm
Congrats to Kim and Kanye. She seemed like she wanted a baby for a good minute so Im sure she is elated. And yes, this pregnancy will be heavily documented so deal with it lol. I actually dont think they got pregnant because of Reggie Bush or Amber Rose as many “fans” are saying. Good timing? Yes, but thats about it. Also, isnt Kris Humphries having a baby too??
December 31, 2012 12:03 pm
isn’t she still married? to a different man, and pregnant by the next…
December 31, 2012 12:14 pm
All I’m gonna say is this: I miss College Dropout Kanye
December 31, 2012 12:15 pm
@Tiffany You do sound a bit overly upset. Kim loves her nephew to death and he seems to reciprocate that love, of course this is all from watching her show ( none of us know her personally). It’s pretty confusing why people are so judgmental of her. I think she would be a great mother, she comes from a big close knit family. Congrats to them.
December 31, 2012 12:19 pm
Kimye expecting a baby has nothing to do with fashion news…smh. You guys are obsessed with Kim!
December 31, 2012 12:39 pm
Dang folks sensitive on here, what did Tiffany really say, and rampage summed it up, you ladies would burst into tears if you read comments on TMZ they being Very honest and kind of mean, the W word is being used in every post.
Anyhoo Claire, thank you for a wonderful year. This is my favorite blog… Looking forward to 2013. Wishing you and the FBD more blessings than you can handle in the New Year.
December 31, 2012 12:40 pm
I will neva eva eva understand black people’s obsession with Kim Kardashian.
December 31, 2012 12:45 pm
hahhaha! Tiffany got yall fired up.
December 31, 2012 12:46 pm
I’m happy for kim and kanye, that baby is going to be beautiful, I will never understand why people hate this woman so much – everybody deserves to be happy smh… the world we live in.
Bey looks a mess… & Joan looks amazing.
December 31, 2012 12:55 pm
kim only announced her pregnancy after i announced mine! lol :) congrats kimye…i love her
December 31, 2012 12:57 pm
She got Kanye for life!!!! If it was a black women it be a different story lets be real!!!
December 31, 2012 12:59 pm
Joan Small looks amazing and I love the outfit!
December 31, 2012 1:10 pm
SOON AS HE GOT ON…HE LEFT OUR ASS FOR A WHITE GIRL!
December 31, 2012 1:12 pm
lol tiffany is cut throat!!
December 31, 2012 1:39 pm
Donda is rolling in her grave. Eww
December 31, 2012 1:43 pm
Joan Smalls Vogue looks amazing.
December 31, 2012 1:46 pm
I’m sorry…is this bossip?
December 31, 2012 1:53 pm
what does this pregnancy have to do with fashion?????
December 31, 2012 1:57 pm
Kim and Kanye are a fashionable couple, we write about them all the time. News about them is fashion news to me. Please note, we also reported about Beyonce’s pregnancy on this blog, in the News section– why is it a big deal when it comes to Kim and Kanye?
December 31, 2012 2:03 pm
Folks were not this nasty when Beyonce’s pregnancy was posted on here. My goodness people get a grip. what did Kim K. do to you?? why is there so much judgement. Congratulate and move on. WOW
December 31, 2012 2:05 pm
Because Claire….everybody hates kimmmmmmmmm….. Unlike Beyonce she has talents, and well Kim has talents for other things. Unlike Beyonce, Beyonce and Jay have been together for over tens years, Kim is always switching. Race plays a big part of it too, but I’m not going into details with that. Let just say if it was a black women it would be a whole different story.
December 31, 2012 2:15 pm
I’m sorry I can’t hold my tongue. Kanye West is a LAME! Ever since Amber got with Wiz and moved on with her life, and now especially since she’s preggers, it’s like he can’t take it, so he’sbeen going way out of his way trying to make her jealous. Now this, is the icing on the cake, get your life, boo! You are indeed lost!Smh. Amber don’t gaf.
But this really has nothing to do with fashion, lol!
December 31, 2012 2:27 pm
Of course someone would turn this into a race issue! This has nothing to do with race. Please don’t compare Bey to Kim K. Two totally different people in two different relationships.
December 31, 2012 2:28 pm
I wish the space to write a comment were above earlier comments. You scroll down to leave a positive comment about a story and see so much trash or negativity. Kim has been wanting what nearly every woman wants to be loved and to be a mother and like everyone else, she deserves it. She is not any less of a human being because she doesn’t live as you or your idol lives.
December 31, 2012 2:40 pm
With amber pregnant and reggie also expecting, I knew kim was next. At least we know why she’s been looking so stuffed in her clothes…she’s been gaining that baby weight already. And to be quite honest, the way she’s been looking in her clothes, she looked pregnant. Maybe now that it’s out, she’ll begin wearing the sizes she should be wearing. Beyonce looks a mess in this pic. Joan looks amazing. Happy new year!
December 31, 2012 2:54 pm
Omg i love whoever is behind “chill”… my exact thoughts… kim has done nothing to noone. Let that woman live her dam life… as she is!
December 31, 2012 2:56 pm
Im happy for the two of them, point, blank, period.
December 31, 2012 2:58 pm
Congrats
December 31, 2012 2:58 pm
I have said it before and I will say it again. I will never understand why people in particular women loathe Kim Kardashian. If all of our personal lives were magnified for the world to scrutinize, many of us would be highly ashamed of all that would come to light. My admiration for Kim is strictly related to her physical image, I think she is gorgeous and fashionable although lately some of her risks have been less than stellar. Yes she had a sex tape which “introduced” her to the masses, but she flipped all of that negativity publicity and made MONEY…BIG MONEY baby, which makes me respect her hustle. At the end of the day I don’t personally KNOW her so why would I harbor negative feelings towards a stranger? Just my logic…………
December 31, 2012 3:26 pm
The only thing that bothered me was “baby momma”… I thought that term was used for men who were referring to a woman they’re are no longer with.
December 31, 2012 3:28 pm
on a different note. WTF IS BEYONCE WEARING??????
December 31, 2012 4:04 pm
Isn’t nearly ALL babies are cute so why are celebrities’ baby special? Congrats to them but um…yeah she might want to get a divorce first. Congrats on Beyoncé for snatching the cover of Vogue but WTF is going on in that picture. Love the covers and congrats to Stella McCartney!
December 31, 2012 4:05 pm
Happy people are happy when happy things happen. Les miserables tho…very sad in deed!
December 31, 2012 4:08 pm
What I dont understand is “why” people hate Kim though?! Honestly, people are quick to congratulate Amber Rose who was nothing but a STRIPPER. A woman who quite literally took off her clothes for money!! Probably did a lot of other things behind closed doors too, yet she is being praised and called beautiful and other positive compliments. Dont get me wrong I like Amber, mainly because shes from Philly and I am as well so Im much biased to all philly natives who “make it” lol. But lets be honest, Kim K has accomplished soooo much since she rose to fame. Why hate? People sound really bitter. Meanwhile Taylor Swift is out with Tom Dick and Harry every 2 months and Ashton Kutcher only JUST filed for divorce from Demi yet he has been publicly dating Mila Kunis for months. I know thats “white america” but still, ijs.
December 31, 2012 4:19 pm
I agree @Reeseecup Taylor been hoeing for years and ain’t nobody pulled her hoe card. I’m roasting her in 2013 LMAO!
December 31, 2012 4:23 pm
@ SLIMB glad to see we’re on the same wave length
December 31, 2012 4:26 pm
18 years… 18 years… LOOOOOOOL
Im kidding congrats to them both, I hope they do stay together they seem to be in love their heads are as big as each others.
None the less every a child is a blessing, but mark my words if he leaves her for any reason that kris jenner will be coming for him.
December 31, 2012 5:02 pm
@Brandon yes!!! Please do! They make her out to be America’s Sweetheart but c’mon Taylor is a hoe for sho lol. Just google Taylor Swift and I bet “hoe” will quickly follow!!
December 31, 2012 5:13 pm
People (in general) do not have respect for the Kardashian clan. They are a family that has more than capitalized on their reality show opportunities. However, the fact that they’ve built an empire doing it and without any (visible) talents doesn’t sit well with some people, not to mention their whiny voices are annoying as hell. It’s seems quite unfair (even though life certainly Is Not fair). People don’t respect that. I think that is mainly because there are people out in the world who are TRULY talented and work sun up to sun down and won’t even be able to catch a “whiff” of the kind of break this family is rolling on with.
Yes, our country was built on capitalism…..I do agree, but we (Americans) are not always a rational bunch at times either. We love to pick and choose who to support and who to rip to shreds. This is also why some celebs who have questionable reputations/talents seem to be respected over others. Personally, I think all of Hollywood could be done away with (no matter the ethnicity). The days of standards/manners/etiquette/discretion/morals……those days have gone by the way of the dinosaur (unfortunately)….never to return. So, to Kim and Kanye…..umm….congrats??
December 31, 2012 5:57 pm
Kim and Kanye can have their kid. I just would like it if she took care of this divorce business before having a kid. I think one should close a chapter before starting a new one. It’s just not right to be pregnant with your boyfriend’s child while you are still married to your husband. This shows a lack of maturity on Kanye and Kim’s part. Mature, rational, logical, people don’t do this. They would think of all the likely ramifications beforehand. Now that she is pregnant and parading it all around town, do you really think Kris Hump is just going to give her an amicable divorce with well wishes? Umm.. NO. It’s really about to go down.
December 31, 2012 8:07 pm
Congrats to Mrs. Humphries and the baby daddy.
December 31, 2012 8:10 pm
“Baby Momma” though? Really? Not a good look. The best to them. The real question is–Who would be proud if their man called them that???
December 31, 2012 9:00 pm
i hate that ya’ll are so quick to criticize but you have no idea what she tries and really wants out of life!!! hello Kris is holding on to her. we mistakes everyday. get the negativity out your mind for 2012. congrats to the couple!
December 31, 2012 9:51 pm
@Chill and @Brandon, I agree 100%. At a time when two people have been blessed to bring a child into this world, we find criticism and make jokes. Nothing but pure foolishness. There’s already twitter accounts for the baby. It’s ridiculous. I wish Kim and Kanye a happy new year and a healthy baby. I hope she enjoys being pregnant and finds peace within herself to deal with all of the hate that’s being flung her way. Happy New Year FBD!!!
December 31, 2012 10:24 pm
I agree @angela and @s. At the end of the day a child is a beautiful gift from God so congrats to them both.
December 31, 2012 10:43 pm
@iCant, Hollywood just joined the rest of America, which is just as messy. If anything just proves how celebs are just human, because everyday folks are doing the exact same, just not aired 24/7.
@Brandon, co-sign your 1st comment, but you know folks will never stop judging her. Until the truth of their “perfect, flawless” life is exposed for the world to see. Congrats to Kim and Kanye!
January 1, 2013 12:58 am
Congrats Kim & Kanye!
January 1, 2013 8:31 am
Brad Pitt was still married when Angelina Jolie first got pregnant. Why does Kim K get so much heat? Kanye has been giving Kim K shout outs in his songs since 2005/6. He cheated on Amber Rose with her. Obviously, they have a lot of history that we don’t know about. Congrats to them and I wish them the best. Divorces can take years to complete, depending on the jurisdiction and other factors; why should a person have to stop his or her life because the other party refuses to sign the papers, especially after the divorce was filed over a year ago. Live and let live.
January 1, 2013 8:47 am
Congrats to them! I wish them the best….if you hate on Kim something is wrong she is a great business women I hope they have a healthy baby!
January 1, 2013 12:12 pm
Guys please stop trying dictate what comments are left at CLAIRES blog. Create your own blog where you can police the comments. People are not obligated to like KimK or her decisions. @Tiffany def did not deserve these nasty comments. They are her opinion, respect it and move on but most importantly search and find yourselves a life. Good grief.
January 1, 2013 12:12 pm
Clair u have such a bad attitude ..
January 1, 2013 1:22 pm
nice……….a porn star, reality tv white lady gets pregnant and you don’t doubt her. A well respected and accomplished black woman (beyonce) gets pregnant and all you do is try to destroy her. Even pausing a tape when she sits down so the fabric on her dress folds in a wierd position so you can say she “faking” it. Nice. Black people are ass backwards. Always trying to hurt they own kind.
January 1, 2013 3:25 pm
“All I’m gonna say is this: I miss College Dropout Kanye”
Me too, COCO =(
January 1, 2013 3:44 pm
I’m laughing at all the people jumping to Kim’s defense and making it seem as though black women collectively hate her and are jealous of her… (looking at you Brandon). Why does she get a pass? And no one else does? This has nothing to do with her race… she is trash(y) and if she was pink, purple, orange or blurple people would be tearing her a new one with nary a person to be like “simmer down guys, she hasn’t done anything to you”. She’s cute, she has an amazing body, she dresses well (or used to) and she’s loaded. We get it. Doesn’t change the fact that she’s vapid and she makes poor decisions… and how do we know this?… SHE, Kimberly Kardashian and her mama, invited us into THEIR world. THEY invited the scrutiny. They are not private people. I’m assuming everyone commenting here lived long enough to know what happens when you put your business on front street….
Kim K is a married woman, who is pregnant by her boyfriend… you can justify it all you like, but it is what it is… I’d like to reiterate that the only reason we know this is BECAUSE THEY TOLD US! (minus public records and sh*t). I hope she has a smooth pregnancy and the baby is born into all the love it deserves. Baby Wests’ parents still get the side eye, and deservedly so.
January 1, 2013 5:06 pm
Oh my gawd Liz I completely agree with you. I put up the same status on facebook the other day and some people where hating. And i’m like… don’t be blinded to the simple fact that the chick is still married to someone else and is now carrying another man’s baby. It has nuin to do with race or celebrity status, it’s pretty indecent. But it’s her life and i ain’t judging. But if people are gonna be like “MYOB”, well, the kardashians did put their business out there for scrutiny.
January 1, 2013 7:36 pm
I can’t wait until Beyonce’s Vogue cover!
January 1, 2013 8:02 pm
“All I’m gonna say is this: I miss College Dropout Kanye”
Ditto on that sentiment.
Kim K and her sibs are good for light entertainment but I still couldn’t help but shake my head when I heard this news.
This is a woman whose raison d’etre is exploiting every single intimate, private moment of her life for its commercial value. A woman that is so eager to stay in the spotlight that she made a mockery of the institution of marriage.
That’s not “hustle”, it’s repugnant.
Kanye on the other hand – his mother was a highly respected academic and his father was a Black Panther. He should get it. He should know better and his lyrics earlier on his career indicated that he did.
That’s why Liz and Coco said they miss College Dropout Kanye – because that Kanye seemed to understand what it represents when a successful black man boos up the lowest common denominator.
At least he kept it real by calling her his “baby momma”…smh!
January 1, 2013 10:39 pm
Has it ever occurred to you people that if Kanye was raised in such a good home and he chose to love and be with Kim, that maybe there’s more to her than we see? No, it didn’t. And Kris and Kim are legally separated by law. Oh, and Kris has a baby on the way as well and nobody is calling him a married man. Eve had a sex tape (and I believe she is pregnant as well) and nobody is constantly bringing that up. I’m not taking up for Kim but it seems like she’s an easy target and her public backlashing on these blogs borders bullying in my eyes.
January 2, 2013 7:06 am
Child they say Kim was messing with Kanye when she got married and left the man becasue of Kanye…that Mr. West aint nothing nice hunny but think about it he had to Amber just had one :)
January 2, 2013 10:21 am
lmao. for kim to get y’all so riled up is just really weird to me.
I’m happy for Kim and i think she would be a great mother. She really doesn’t deserve all this hate. sheesh! in 2013 i would think people wouldn’t be so hung up over race. yes she’s white but she likes black men! everyone has preferences. why is it such a big deal still?
January 2, 2013 11:39 am
Kimye aren’t doing a thing for my pockets… so they don’t really get my full court press….but for my 1cent I’d like to pray that I will never be a baby mama, but instead I’ll be a wife. AIM HIGHER LADIES !
January 2, 2013 12:05 pm
I second Liz and Diva statement…You guys pretty much summed it up…Let’s have morals and class…AIM HIGH(old Air Force slogan…lol)… And legally seperated DOES NOT mean MAKE babies with others…People get back together all the time…How about you finish one situation before you jump into another one!! People now a days really scare me in their thought process but hey it’s their life at least that’s what everyone hollas….
January 2, 2013 12:43 pm
@aquie, please there was no way that Kim and Kris were gonna reunite. Folks just need to let people live their lives, our choice are our own and nothing Kim is doing is truly affecting our daily being.
People are just far too invested in celebrity culture.
January 2, 2013 2:51 pm
Some of you have misread what Tiffany is saying… But I understand. And no,it’s not coming from a bitter heart,it’s coming from a conscience mind.
Any way,congrats to these weirdos…
January 2, 2013 4:04 pm
All very interesting comments. In reality, it’s not Hollywood – it’s just life. I’m sure all of us could name a friend, colleague, family member, acquaintance or yourself that has had a baby out of wedlock. Let Kimye do them as well as all the others expecting God’s greatest gift – the gift of LIFE.
January 2, 2013 6:20 pm
Kim and Kanye’s kid doesn’t have a chance of growing up normal. Good luck
January 2, 2013 7:35 pm
YESSSSS JOAN.
Could care less about Kimye in this post. Joan looks amazing.
January 3, 2013 10:39 am
I’m sorry, but Kanye isn’t the best looking dude out there, please be real. That child is going to be very interesting looking, sorry but every mixed race child isn’t cute. This is my issue, back when amber Rose dumped his ass he released a statement along the lines of he wasn’t salty, because when he looks at the woman he’s dating he wonders whether she would be a good role model to his children,and whether he would want his daughter to be like her…SHADE! Now call me crazy ,but a past as a stripper which NO ONE has record of, is a whole lot easier to swallow than a sex tape that everyone has seen. So good luck to them with having to explain that. Now onto the other matter,it doesn’t mater the circumstances to which a child is born,all that matters is they’re here. However, when it comes to the kardashian clan, nothing is ever by coincidence, I can’t be blind to the fact that Reggie(who dumped kim) is expecting, and Amber(who dumped kanye) is also expecting. Also we cant be blind to the fact that legally separated or not, by law, Kanye can’t sign that birth certificate. Lastly, people need to get over who their favorite rappers choose to cavort with…everyone has a vice, err Mos Def got married to a stripper.
January 3, 2013 3:50 pm
Im happy for Kanye and Kim, but… I still think they won’t last. I don’t know. But when filming keeping up with the Kardashians and on photos, sometimes I think Kanye looks a bit bored and uncomfortable. But we donno what the future holds for them.
