Shakira tweeted that the rumor is true! She said, “Yes, we are expecting our second baby!! Thank you all for your well wishes!” Shakira is shacking up with soccer star Gerard Pique. They met when she was promoting the 2010 World Cup anthem, “Waka Waka,” and they have an 18-month-old son, Milan.

I had almost an entire season of this show recorded on my DVR and realized one day that I’d probably never catch up so I deleted them all. I’ve regretted it ever since. But Netflix has saved the day! They’ve acquired the streaming rights to NBC’s “Blacklist” at a price that will cause you to choke on your morning latte — $2 million PER EPISODE!! This is the largest per-episode fee paid by a subscription-based video-on-demand company for a TV show. And while Netflix gets the first window on the streaming rights to “The Blacklist,” Sony TV will also be selling the show to broadcast and cable networks for syndication. “The Blacklist” has been a big hit for NBC, which has renewed it for a second 22-episode season.

The young homeless man thrust into the spotlight by Miley Cyrus has now turned himself in to the police in Oregon. Jesse Helt had a 3-year-old warrant out for his arrest after violating probation for that time he broke into the home of a man who’d allegedly sold him some bad pot. Following that arrest, Jesse violated his probation several times, failing to take mandatory drug tests and not reporting to his probation officer. Jesse is scheduled to appear before a judge in two weeks. Wonder how Miley’s going to help him out of this one…………….

Britney Spears tweeted yesterday, “Ahhhh the single life!” and then her rep later confirmed the news to “People.” Yes, Britney is single again after dumping her boyfriend, David Lucado. The rumor is that earlier this month, David was dancing and making out with some woman and it was all caught on video. Britney’s dad got word of the video and that it was being shopped around to the highest bidder, so he bought it and went straight to Britney, who promptly dumped David. Britney and David began dating in March 2013, about 2 months after she and Jason Trawick ended their engagement.

Joan Rivers went to an outpatient endoscopy clinic yesterday morning for a routine procedure, but as the scope was placed down her throat, Joan stopped breathing. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital where doctors reportedly put Joan in a medically induced coma, where she remains in stable condition. Joan’s daughter Melissa and her 13-year-old son Cooper flew from LA to NY to be by her side.
