Mariah's Kids Have Typically Self-Obsessed Names.

 
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have announced the manes of their two little bundles of joy to the world. Typically for Mariah, we were teased with a hint yesterday, when it was announced that both names start with an 'M'...M for Mariah. Of course.

So, drumroll please......welcome to the world babies Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott Cannon!

Morrocan is named for the country in which Nick proposed to Mariah, and also for the top level of Mariah's Manhatten penthouse, whch is called 'The Moroccan Room'. The couple will refer to their son as Roc for short. Scott is both Nick's middle name and his grandmother's maiden name, which is a fairly standard convention for a lot of families to follow.

Monroe is named for Marilyn Monroe, who Mariah says has always been an inspiration to her. Like Mariah (and me), Monroe has no middle name; one is enough for those amongst us who have that special appeal...

Mariah Has Her Babies!

Congratulations to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who have welcomed their twins into the world today. It's a double whammy of celebrations for the couple, as today also happens to be their fourth wedding anniversary!

Mariah , 42, had her little'uns at an undisclosed LA hospital, where her baby girl arrived first weighing 5lbs 3oz, and was shortly followed by a brother, who weighed in at 5lbs 6oz.

In true Mariah fashion, the family listened to her classic track 'We Belong Together' after the birth.

There are no deets on the names as of yet, but Nick told People magazine in January that their kids will not be having strange celebrity names. He said "They won't be crazy names like Carburetor or something," he promised. "But they're definitely unique."

Adele The Stealth Bus Stop Flasher

Singer Adele has revealed how she accidentally flashed a busload of passangers because of a stray gust of wind.

After deciding to pop out without taking the precustion of wearing her undies, Adele was taken by surprise when the wind decided to pick up, revealing all.

She says "I got up, threw on a kaftan sort of thing with no sleeves to go to the shops, and the wind got up just as a bus was passing.

"The whole thing was hula-hooping around my neck and I was completely naked and everyone on the bus saw everything.

"Luckily they didn't know it was me - but of course they will now."

I think the lesson here is basically....MAKE SURE YOU WEAR UNDERWEAR!!!

Gorgeous!

The wedding of the century has taken place, with all the pomp and ceremony to be expected from a Royal Wedding. Kate looked beautiful in her Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen dress, which had a modest (by royal standards) two-metre train. William was in his full military regalia, while Harry looked his usual cheeky self, seeming not altogether too comfortable in his uniform.

Kate's sister Pippa looked stunning in her cowl-neck sheath, (although her spray tan was far too deep) while the queen rocked a canary-yellow outfit with matching hat in the same colour, as has always been her style. Personally I thought her hat was a touch flat, but she looked lovely. Surprisingly, Camilla also looked fab!

The Middleton family did themselves proud. Mother Carole looked wonderful in a powder blue dress and coat, while her father Michael was very smart in his suit and top hat.

Sartorial failures? Unsurprisingly, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie looked...well, not great. Their hats were far too directional for their faces, and were not at all flattering.

Overall, the ceremony was fantastic, and the day seems to have run very smoothly. Good luck to the new couple, and everyone enjoy the long weekend!

See what I mean? Not. Flattering.

Dear Robert DeNiro, You're An Idiot. Love, The Donald.

After some not-so-veiled criticism of Donald Trump by Robert DeNiro at the Tribeca Film Festival, The Donald has hit back, insulting Robert's intelligence.

The row started over Donald's continued (and bizarre, and unfounded) assertion that Barack Obama is not an American. He is demanding to see the President's birth certificate in order to ensure that he is actully allowed to be in the White House. I mean, really? REALLY? Do you honestly think, Donald, that no-one in government has checked all this out? And also, holy vaguely-concealed racism, Batman!

Anyway. DeNiro called Trump out on this madness, and not Donald has responded in true playground style by saying of Robert; "Well he’s not the brightest bulb on the planet. I’ve been watching him over the years and I like his acting, but you know in terms of when I watch him doing interviews and various other things, we’re not dealing with Albert Einstein."

Just to be clear, I side with DeNiro. And I think he's a pretty intelligent guy. Donald is just acting like a petulant child.

Johnny Depp To Cameo In 21 Jump Street

The remake of 21 Jump Street which is being mastermined by Jonah Hill, has reportedly gained a star turn for a cameo roll. Original star of the show Johnny Depp! This is not officially confirmed, but the rumours have been going for a while now, and it seems that insiders have let the cat out of the bag. Hopefully Johnny does make a return to the place that made his name and gives his ardent fans (me) a cheeky little hello.

EDIT: It's official! Jonah Hill has confirmed the rumours, saying that Johnny will return to play a "really funny" role in the film.

Emma Watson Bullied Out Of Brown?

Emma Watson recently left U.S Ivy League University Brown, stating that the pressure of juggling her commitments to acting and her studies was getting to be just too much. The Harry Potter actress released a statement on her website saying "I will still be working towards my degree, it's just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought."

However, the truth of the matter may be a little more painful than what has been said. Rumours have been flying that Emma had to deal with constant comments from other students about her Harry Potter character Hermione Granger. A source from the university told the New York Daily News online that "When she spoke in class, they would respond with a quote from Harry Potter. The most popular choice was, 'Three points for Gryffindor'." Further to this, Watson was apparently 'stalked' by a group of students at a college football game, who shouted more Harry Potter quotes at her.

It has also been said that Emma didn't exactly make matters easy for herself, being sat between two large security guards wearing bright orange vests at the same football game, and forcing her new roommate to sign a strict confidentiality agreement before the pair moved into university accommodation together.

Emma may even be planning to leave Brown altogether; she was spotted touring the NYU campus in February, and transferring is a little more common in the U.S than the U.K. EDIT: Turns out I was right! Emma's camp has released an official statement saying that she has decided to change University, as she wants to take a major that is not offered at Brown. No word on her chosen place to transfer, but I suspect NYU.

To be honest, it all seems a little OTT to me. Emma should have expected a few jibes from other jealous students or people who think that they're funny. Of course if the jokes were continual and harsh then that is unacceptable, but kicking off with a confidentiality agreement? Not cool. I hope that everything works out for her and that she goes to a school where she can make good friends. Maybe that way, if anyone does start with the Hemione jokes, she can just brush them off.
