Good news for the Royal Family…Kate Middleton is pregnant!  The bad news?  She's in the hospital with a very severe form of morning sickness. It's marked by nausea and vomiting, but on a more extreme scale than regular morning sickness to the point where it can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, weight loss and other problems.  It's estimated that at most, only 2% of pregnant women get it.  For most women, the issue resolves itself by about the 20th week of pregnancy. Kate will remain in the hospital for several days, after which she'll require, quote, "a period of rest."  An interesting side note, though:  Some experts say the condition is associated with twins.  There's no word if Kate is carrying what the Brits call "an heir and a spare" at the same time.

This is the first child for Kate and Prince William.  The baby automatically leapfrogs Britain's International Naked Billiards champion Prince Harry to become third in line for the throne.   That means Harry is now fourth, behind Prince Charles, Prince William and this unborn baby.   Of course, if Kate is carrying twins, that means Harry is fifth. I'm pretty sure Harry doesn't mind.  I think he'd rather party than be King.

Adam Levine went OFF on the TLC show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" in a recent interview…and he didn't hold back at all.  In fact, he got so worked up, he started dropping f-bombs.  He told "GQ" magazine, quote, "Seriously, 'Honey Boo Boo' is the decay of Western civilization.  Just because so many people watch the show doesn't mean it's good.   "So many people witness atrocities and can't take their eyes away from them, but that doesn't mean they're good.  That show is literally:  The. Worst. Thing. That's. Ever.  Happened.

Howard Stern has announced that he's coming back for another season of "America's Got Talent".  For now, he's the only confirmed judge.  Howie Mandel hasn't decided if he wants to come back, and Sharon Osbourne is leaving the show.  There's no word how much Howard is being paid to return.

Lindsay Lohan needs to sober up quick.  The IRS has gotten tired of waiting for her to pay her taxes, so they seized all her bank accounts, attempting to collect the $234,000 she owes to the federal government for the years 2009 and 2010.  Charlie Sheen recently gave her $100,000 to help with her 2009 tax problem, but his check barely scratched the surface.  She also owes an unknown amount of money for last year.  Some are saying that Lindsay is in full on panic mode about her financial situation and is desperately trying to make some cash.  Meanwhile, her arraignment for the recent charges related to her car accident has been set for December 12th.  She could face around 63 days in jail if found guilty on all counts.  Lindsay is said to be freaked out about the possibility of spending Christmas behind bars.

According to a new "60 Minutes" / "Vanity Fair" poll on humor, Jay Leno is the funniest late-night  host…"The Simpsons" is funnier than "Family Guy"… and "Seinfeld" is the greatest sitcom.

Nick Lachey got booted from the Cincinnati Bengals / San Diego Chargers game on Sunday for trash talking.  The game was in San Diego, and Nick is a Bengals fan.  He Tweeted that he, quote, "couldn't be prouder" of getting the boot.  Then after the Bengals won, he Tweeted, quote, "I'd talk trash to everyone in SD, but what's the point?  You already had me kicked out of the stadium and you still lost."

 Bad news for Christina Aguilera…her new CD “Lotus”, which dropped just 3 weeks ago, is already history.  So far this week, it’s slod 4000 copies.  By next week she’ll disappear from the top 50. She’s gotten a lot of exposure from being a coach on the Voice, but it’s not helping her sales.   So it may have been a bad decision to go on Hiatus next season...She intended to go on tour, but with back to back flops for CD’s, she won’t be able to sell tickets.  She’s being replaced next season on the Voice by Shakira.  Some are saying it’s the end for Christina.
