Prince William and his wife Kate are expecting their first child. They tried to keep the news hush hush, but had to make the announcement after Kate was hospitalized with accute  morning sickness. This puts Prince Harry third in line for the throne. How's this for a strange post on social media. 14-year-old Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, talked on Instagram about a young lady's private part and what he'd do to her.

The son of the late R&B legend says he doesn't want Kravitz to do the role because the film will only focus on the part of Gaye's life when he was battling drug addiction and financial trouble. The son wants the film to focus on his father's entire life. It looks like singer Chris Brown is in the clear for a cell phone snatching incident that occurred back in February. A fan accused the singer of snatching her cell phone as she took a picture of him while he was leaving  a club. According to TMZ, in an investigation that included statements from Karrueche Tran (Brown's girlfriend at the time), Tyga and the rapper's security guard the evidence wasn't enough to support the case. TMZ's report also included  a statement from the Miami-Dade State Attorney which read that prosecutors had reviewed all evidence and taken numerous statements from witnesses many of whom were interviewed in California, they are not taking any kind of criminal action regarding the incident. This is of particular importance to Brown because if convicted he would have been in violation of his probation for his 2009 assault on Rihanna.
