Kate Middleton and Prince William Expecting Second Royal Baby

Kate Middleton and Prince William are expecting their second child. Put in appropriately enthusiastic terms: THERE’S A SECOND ROYAL BABY ON THE WAY!!!!!!

Per an official Facebook post from The British Monarchy: “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child.” The British Monarchy also adds that “the Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.” Yes, yes, quite.

In addition, as with her last pregnancy, Kate Middleton is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum; she’s reportedly being treated at Kensington Palace and will no longer travel for various Royal Duties. Although palace officials won’t announce her due date, a spokeswoman said that the Duchess has not yet passed the 12-week mark in her pregnancy. [E!]

Because humans are a fanciful and inquisitive species, betting has already begun on the unborn baby’s future name. The nominal front runners are Henry or Elizabeth. I am betting Kale. [Washington Post]

Miley Cyrus attended Alexander Wang‘s Fashion Week after party clad in ice cream cone-shaped pasties, sunglasses adorned with various pills, and earrings that were shaped like marijuana leaves (Miley Cyrus loves weed). Miley Cyrus is very serious about fun and also about prompting gossip websites to ponder, “Is This Miley Cyrus’ Raciest Outfit Yet?”. [Daily Mail]

As is his wont, Kanye West went on a lengthy monologue about a topic in the middle of a concert in Australia. This time, he talked about his baby! It was sweet! (Also about the meaning of life.)

Quoth Kanye: “You know, I have no complaints, I feel so happy, just to hold my daughter in my arms and see the greatest creation that I needed God and my wife to help me with. And everything I did up until this point is really just to have a family and at that point I understood what life is about. What’s the meaning of life? Life itself. To see a life. To watch it grow right in front of you.” [Bossip]
