‘Glee’ Actress Charice Pempengco Comes Out
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Features,
Glee star Charice Pempengco recently spoke frankly in an interview Sunday night about her sexuality, revealing that she is a lesbian.
The 21 year-old Filipino native appeared on a talk show in her native country, The Buzz, where she answered in the affirmative when host Boy Abunda asked her if she is gay. Charice went on to explain why she chose to come out on the popular Filipino show:
"I have deep gratitude for the Filipinos because they are the ones who know who I really am. I don't know what the problem is because for me, there is no problem with that. So now I ask for forgiveness from those who don't understand. And those who cannot accept. I apologize, I understand you. To those who could accept, and who could accept me, thank you very, very much. I just want to say to all of you that I feel very light -- that I can leave the house knowing I am not hiding anything. ... I love myself, that's why I'm able to do this."
The singer-actress rose to fame when Ellen DeGeneres discovered her on YouTube. She went on to portray Sunshine Corazon in the second season of Glee.

Lauryn Hill has finally agreed to vacate her mansion.
The former Fugees singer is leaving her New Jersey mansion following a long-standing argument with her landlords over unpaid rent. The 37-year-old star was hit with the lawsuit in March, and appears to have complied with the terms, agreeing to pay $7,000 in rent and vacate by May 31, according to TMZ.
Lauren won't have to worry about finding a new house in the immediate future, as she has been ordered by a court in the same state to report to prison for tax evasion by July 8. Lauryn will also have to spend three months under house arrest as well as nine months of supervised release, after pleading guilty in 2012 to three counts of tax evasion for failing to file returns on $1.8 million she earned from 2005 to 2007.
The "Ready Or Not" singer argued in court at the time she shouldn't be judged so harshly, claiming her six children and charity commitments meant she couldn't return to making music in order to repay her debts: "I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children."

Beyonce has deflected a question about her rumored pregnancy.
The "Grown Woman" singer - who has a 14-month-old daughter Blue Ivy with her rapper husband Jay-Z - played coy regarding speculation she is expecting her second child, joking that she hadn't heard about the rumors. When quizzed about reports she is pregnant at the Sound of Change charity concert in London on Saturday, she said with a laugh, "What kind of rumors? What? Huh? I don't know what you're talking about."
After the interview for the Today Show - which aired this morning - host Savannah Guthrie said, "Mystery remains unsolved." Although Beyonce, 31, and Jay-Z, 43, have remained tight-lipped about her rumored pregnancy, the singer appeared to dispel speculation by posting a photo of her and her husband - real name Shawn Carter - enjoying a bottle of wine last week. In the snap, Beyonce can be seen sitting on Jay's lap as she takes a tall sip from her wine glass while the "Run This Town" rapper watches on.

Adam Levine wants to get married in the future.
The Maroon 5 frontman - who is dating model Nina Agdal, 21, after secretly splitting from Victoria's Secret angel, Behati Prinsloo recently - admits he has changed his mind about not wanting to get married after seeing how happy his The Voice colleague Blake Shelton is with his wife Miranda Lambert.
In a new interview for Oprah's Next Chapter, that is set to air on tonight, the 34-year-old singer said, "Hearing Blake talk about [marriage], it's great. I'm a fan of marriage. People think that I keep pooh-poohing marriage, but I love it. I want to probably be married at some point."
Adam insists that despite being linked to a string of models, including Anne Vyalitsyna, whom he split from in April 2012 after two years together, he doesn't feel under pressure to settle down: "I don't feel pressure to get married. I think that when it's time, it's going to be obvious and I'm going to do it and I'm going to really enjoy it."

Kanye West will attend Kim Kardashian's baby shower on Sunday.
Although the "Power" rapper was initially reluctant to attend the female only bash, he now plans to make an appearance with Lamar Odom, who is married to Kim's sister Khloe and Scott Disick, the partner of her other sibling Kourtney.
"It's girls only but Kanye will come at the end. But then I think Scott [Disick] and Lamar [Odom] might bring Kanye. That might happen at the end. That's what we were all deciding. Because Kanye says he feels a little weird for him to be the only guy at it. I think if all the guys come at the end, it's good," Khloe told Ryan Seacrest.
It was previously claimed Kim, 32, had begged 35-year-old Kanye to attend, but he was uncomfortable with the idea.

Miley Cyrus has no plans to give Liam Hemsworth back her engagement ring
The 20-year-old singer - who is reportedly still sharing her Toluca Lake mansion in Los Angeles with The Hunger Games star but sleeping in a separate bedroom - wants to hold on to her 3.5-carat Neil Lane diamond ring, even though they are splitting.
"To give back the ring would be too permanent this soon. But they are definitely over," a source said.
Another friend claims that their relationship started to crack after they got engaged in June 2012 because Miley, who chopped off her hair and dyed it peroxide blonde in August, has completely changed. "Liam always admired Miley's independence. But this was more like rebellion, and it freaked him out. She has undergone a complete personality change. She's basically thugged out," the source continued.
The friend says Miley's attitude "was grating on him" before their split, adding, "He used to be obsessed with the way she would go wild. But it got more childish to him. He's growing up - and fast."

Jessica Simpson to Marry After Giving Birth
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Sports, Television, Weddings, Pregnancies, Rumors,
Jessica Simpson wants to get married after her baby is born. The singer - who has had to cancel her wedding plans twice due to surprise baby news - hopes to walk up the aisle with her fiance Eric Johnson as soon as possible after the couple's second child arrives.
"[Jessica] was telling friends she wanted to get married a few months after the baby is born," a source said. The insider claims Jessica was joking during her baby shower on April 14, "Let's have this wedding already before I get pregnant with another one!'"
The 32-year-old blonde already has 12-month-old daughter Maxwell with Eric, and the pair were surprised to discover she was expecting another child - a boy, due to arrive in July - so soon after.
Jessica - who got engaged in 2010 - is very body conscious, especially due to her new role as the face of Weight Watchers, so has employed a personal chef to ensure her diet is as healthy as possible during her second pregnancy. "The chef is there all day. Jessica eats things like egg whites and sausage. It's healthier," a second source said.

Justin Bieber has been hit with another paternity claim.
A 25-year-old woman alleges the 19-year-old singer - who was hit with a false paternity claim in 2011 - is the father of her daughter after the pair supposedly had a one-night stand in February 2010 after one of his gigs in Miami, Florida. She purports the pair met at TGI Friday's after his concert and then went back to his hotel room in Gansevoort South, where she claims they slept together, and then in October 2010 she gave birth to a baby girl.
"She gave birth to a baby girl later that year, and Justin didn't know anything about it. She just wanted to protect her baby. She wanted to keep her and her family away from any spotlight. In my opinion, she does look a lot like Justin did at that same age," a source said.
The publication also printed text messages allegedly sent by Justin to the mystery woman, in which he thanks her for their night of passion and describes it as "our little secret?" However, sources close to the "Beauty and a Beat" hitmaker claim the woman's story is completely fabricated. "It's just sad that anyone would bother with this BS," a source close to the singer said.
