Heather Morris is now officially a mom!
The Glee actress gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday, according to US Weekly.
The 26-year-old named her adorable baby boy an equally adorable name—Elijah. The actress kept a low profile prior to giving birth, taking a break from acting.
Morris was seen just days ago running errands in a low-key ensemble of shorts and a hot pink tank top, looking all the more ready to pop!
This is the first child for Heather and longtime beau Taylor Hubbell. Morris and Hubbell went to the same high school in Arizona. 
Congrats to the happy family!

Bonjour, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West!

The lovely lovebirds, who are in town for Paris Fashion Week, were spotted on Saturday, Sept. 28 leaving their hotel.

The E! star looked ready for fall, wearing a chic long tan coat, a grey T-shirt, black leggings, green boots with laces and a nude leather bag. A brown hat completed her look, covering her long blond locks. The rapper sported a more casual look, opting for a white T-shirt, faded light ripped jeans and some gold chains.

As they left the hotel, Kanye wrapped his arm around Kim's shoulder and she held his hand.

Kim recently appeared on the cover of Roitfeld's magazine, looking oh-so-sultry in a hazy close-up that has her staring seductively into the camera as she parts her mouth to reveal a gold grill.

The new parents kept busy before jetting to the City of Light. Kim was seen grabbing some Vietnamese food in Los Angeles while Kanye got into a fiery twitter feud with Jimmy Kimmel.

Breaking Bad: Did John Cusack and Matthew Broderick Turn Down Role of Walter White? Get the Story!

As the world waits to see how Breaking Badwraps up (anyone else in a cold sweat?), it's a good time to spill some scoop on the amazing story of how this groundbreaking television series came to be.
According to insiders connected to the series from the beginning, Breaking Bad is truly the show that almost never was—with a cast that was almost entirely different. Not only didVince Gilligan's series get passed over at FX (in favor of Courteney Cox's Dirt), but once it moved to AMC (a cable network who really had no viable scripted series before Breaking Bad), the casting process was…complicated.
One long-standing myth is that John Cusack turned down the role of Walter White, but he tweeted today at someone who asked that very question, "Didn't turn it down. U crazy."
A source who was involved with the show from the very start confirms that both Cusack and Matthew Broderick were on the initial lists, "as was every other star name that would be right." However, Cusack was never officially offered the role, according to insiders. Both he and Broderick were given the script, though, with the idea that if they liked the part it would be theirs.
Casting directors Sherry Thomas and Sharon Bialy (the geniuses who also cast The Walking Dead), pitched Bryan Cranston after he came in and read for the lead of an Aaron Sorkin play in San Diego, The Farnsworth Invention, which they were also casting.

Vince Gilligan heard the name Cranston and "flipped" because Cranston also had been on his mind after his work on The X Files (he played Patrick Crump), according to sources close to the deal. And although the network wasn't initially sold on Cranston (not being able to envision the dad from Malcom in the Middle as anything remotely similar to Walter White), all agreed to offer him the role after Cranston was offered a role in Nurses (a Barry Josephson pilot for Fox). They didn't want to lose him.
Another amusing fact? Aaron Paul initially was considered "too good-looking" for the role of Jesse Pinkman, a character who wasn't supposed to survive the first season.
Tonight we'll see if Jesse meets a better fate.
Can you imagine a world in which Breaking Bad had cast anyone other than Cranston and Paul? What do you think will happen in tonight's finale? And is anyone else still in denial this groundbreaking series is ending? Sound off in our comments section!

Team Lea’s Mitoy Yonting wins ‘The Voice of the Philippines’

We guys are expecting this

MANILA, Philippines - Mitoy Yonting was hailed the winner of ABS-CBN’s “The Voice of the Philippines” during the reality talent show’s finale at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila on Sunday, Sept. 29.
The 44-year-old singer, a member of Lea Salonga’s team, beat out three other contestants for the title.
Klarisse de Guzman from Sarah Geromino’s team was named runner-up.
Janice Javier from apl.de.ap’s team is in third place while Don Michael Perez from Bamboo Manalac’s team placed fourth.
Salamat po sa inyong lahat. Para sa inyo ito,” Yonting said, who won a prize package that includes P2 million, a new car, an Asian tour package for two and a four-year recording contract with MCA Universal.
The winner was decided via text and online votes. The final two finalists were declared based on the votes during the Saturday and Sunday live shows, while the winner was decided based solely on votes polled during De Guzman and Yonting’s final performance.
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1During the Saturday live show, Yonting sang Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak” and his original song “Bulag.”
A band singer prior to joining “The Voice of the Philippines,” he shared the stage with his coach Lea and Vice Ganda as they sang “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” He also performed with former Westlife member Shane Fillan on Sunday.
A member of “The Draybers” — a band that has regular gigs in Resorts World Manila (they performed in their months-long free concert series) and is a nominee at this year’s Aliw Awards — Yonting was a among the favorite early in the competition.
He sang “Bakit Ako Mahihiya?” during his blind audition, Lea used an expletive to describe Yonting’s performance.
Bihira lang lumalabas sa bibig ko ang ganyan. Ang galing mo, ang galing mo, naku! Kung hindi mo ako piliin, iiyak ako,” said Lea, who had to compete with Bamboo and apl to get Yonting into her team.
During the show’s battle rounds and live shows, Yonting bested other favorites to reach the finals — including Radha of the band Kulay and Daryyl Shy.
Maraming salamat sa pagpili, maraming salamat for letting me into your heart and for allowing me to help you allow this journey,” Lea said before Yonting was declared the winner. “Sana in the rest of your journey, you allow me to look over your shoulder, parang guardian angel.”

Miss Philippines Megan Young, a US Native, Crowned Miss World in Bali

Congratulations, Megan Young!
The 23-year-old U.S. native was named Miss World 2013 on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Bali, Indonesia. 
"No words!" Young said after her big win, according to CNN. "Thank you so much for everyone for choosing me. I promise to be the best Miss World ever."
Young looked radiant, donning a pale pink glittery gown, as she received her crown from Miss World 2012, Yu Wenxia.
Miss France, Marine Lorphelin was the first runner-up and Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, was the second runner-up.
According to her biography on the Miss World website, Young moved to the Philippines when she was 10 years old. The brunette beauty is currently studying digital filmmaking and aspires to be a director. She has appeared onscreen since she was 15 in films, TV shows and as a presenter. In her spare time, she enjoys playing video games and loves Harry Potter. 
The competition was not met without controversy, with organizers asking the 127 women competing to trade their two-piece bathing suits in for more conservative attire like sarongs for the beach fashion part of the show.
The move came in an effort to not offend those in Muslim-majority Indonesia following protests from conservative Muslim groups, CBS News reported.

Actress Megan Young was crowned Miss World 2013 on Saturday, besting 126 candidates from all over the globe and earning the Philippines its first ever victory in the beauty contest.

Young accepted the Miss World crown from 2012 winner Wenxia Yu at the awarding ceremony in Bali, Indonesia.

Miss France Marine Lorphelin took second place while Miss Ghana Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter came in third.
"Amazing scenes here in Bali, Megan is overcome with emotions as a tear rolls down her cheek, promising to 'Be the best Miss World Ever'!" the Miss World official Twitter account said. 
"She also waved to the crowd at the start of "Miss World Philippines' Year," it added.
In the Q & A portion, Young was asked to answer the question, "Why should you be crowned Miss World?" She answered: "I treasure a core value of humanity and that guides people why they act the way they do." 
"I will use this to show other people how they can understand each other... as one, we can help society," she added.

Previous Miss Philippines bets

Before Young's victory, the highest honors for the Philippines in the Miss World competition was 1st runner-up in 1973, which went to Evangeline Pascual.

In 2011, the country's bet Gwendoline Gaelle Ramos Ruais was named 1st runner-up Asia & Oceania Continental Queen.

Last year, Miss World 2012 Philippines Queenierich Rehman was among the Top 15 candidates in the beauty contest.

Excited

Earlier in this year's competition, Young led the list of 10 semifinalists that included contestants from Brazil, Australia, France, Nepal, England, Indonesia, Spain, Jamaica, and Ghana.
Young, Lorphelin, and Shooter were joined in the final round by Brazil's Sancler Frantz Konzen, Spain's Elena Ibarbia Jimenez, and Gibraltar's Maroua Kharbouch.
Miss Gibraltar joined the five finalists after she was declared the People's Choice in the contest.
Hours before the finals night, Young had indicated she was excited about the competition.
"My heart is beating faster and faster ♥," she said on her Twitter account 

Finale Hall of Fame (And Shame): Vote For TV's Best and Worst Series Endings

As Supernatural creator Eric Kripke once wrote, and actor Rob Benedict said in an episode of the CW hit series, "Endings are hard...you try to tie up every loose end, but you never can. The fans are always gonna bitch. There's always gonna be holes. And since it's the ending, it's all supposed to add up to something. I'm telling you, they're a raging pain in the ass."
But sometimes shows are able to get it an ending right. And when they do, they really get it right. The question on everyone's mind heading into Sunday's highly-anticipated series finale of Breaking Bad is whether or not creator Vince Gilligan, stars Bryan Cranston,Aaron Paul and the rest of the AMC hit's team will stick the landing. We don't know, but we can't wait to find out.
In honor of Breaking Bad's swan song, we're looking back at some of TV's most talked-about series finales ever, from 24 to The Wire, and asking you to tell us whether you loved it or loathed it...
Endings, whether they are good or bad, always get people talking.
Gossip Girl fans were enraged (or delighted) when the identity of Gossip Girl was finally revealed (Spoiler Alert: It was leading man Dan Humphrey!). Lost fans were left with their jaws on the floor when main Lostie Jack (Matthew Fox) died...and was reunited with the whole gang in Eloise's church so that they could move on. The Sopranos' devoted viewers were left rage-calling their cable providers thinking their service cut out when the screen cut to black as Journey played. Sex and the City delighted most fashionistas when Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) finally landed the Big (Chris Noth) one. And most recently,Dexter's series ender provoked some serious reactions after the titular serial killer lived to kill another day.
But now we want to hear from you: We're asking you to tell us what you thought of over 20 of TV's most talked-about finales. We'll reveal the results, ranking 'em from worst to best, on Monday. Plus, we'll include how Breaking Bad's series finale ranks amongst them as well! So get to voting and then head on down to the comments to express any lingering feelings you have about any of these finales. (Oh, we know you have opinions!)

Khloé Kardashian Odom Shares Pic of Gift From Her Best Friends as She and Lamar Odom Spend Anniversary Apart

Khloe Kardashian Odom, InstagramInstagram
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom may be spending their fourth wedding anniversary on different sides of Los Angeles, but Khloé is getting plenty of love on the home front.
"I have the best friends in the world! @theeforevermalika @imforeverkhadijah," she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of a crystal heart that sister pals Malika and Khadijah Haqq gave her as a gift.
"Khloé, Love You 4 Ever," reads the inscription etched into the prismatic present.
Earlier today, Khloé hit the gym and Lamar has since been sighted in downtown L.A. outside the Roosevelt Lofts, where he's been staying this month.
Attorney Richard Hutton appeared on Odom's behalf in court this morning and got his arraignment on a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence pushed back to Oct. 10.
Her heart-shaped gift is just the latest in a series of tweets and Instagram pics that Khloé has posted to stay connected with friends and fans. For Throwback Thursday yesterday, she posted a slinky swimsuit pic of her with sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, as well as a childhood shot of her and Kourtney in ballerina and flapper costumes.
Then she threw it way back, cryptically posting a snippet from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland:  "The Mad Hatter: 'Have I gone mad?' Alice: 'I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.'"

Just who has gone down the rabbit hole remains to be seen. Also today, meanwhile, Khloé posted a pic of longtime pal La La Anthony in the romantic comedy Baggage Claim, which comes out today.
"I see you LoLo! Keep shining baby doll! Everyone go check out Baggage Claim in theaters NOW.…" she tweeted.
At the film's premiere last night in Los Angeles, Anthony told E! News that both Khloé and Lamar are like family to her.
"You always look out for your friend, make sure she's okay," she said. "They're staying strong and doing great."
The consensus seems to be that Lamar, whatever he's going through, has been looking healthy and like his usual friendly self since his DUI bust nearly a month ago.
He and Khloé have been in contact since then, but Lamar has been pretty successful at staying off the paparazzi's radar. He broke his silence this week, taking to Twitlonger to knock his estranged dad for talking about him to the media and "disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return"—that family being the one he "married into."

In conclusion, Zooey should definitely trademark those bangs ASAP.

Or actually just her hair in general because blonde Zooey is just as terrifying as “bangless” Zooey.

Miley Cyrus Poses Nude on Rolling Stone Cover, Says She Weighs 108 Pounds

Miley CyrusRolling Stone Magazine
Miley Cyrus calls herself a "semi-nudist" in the Oct. 8 issue of Rolling Stone, and judging by the magazine's cover, that's quite an understatement. Posing for photographer Theo Wenner, the naked pop star sticks out her tongue at the camera. With her platinum hair slicked back and her eyeliner smudged, Cyrus once again proves she's not the cookie-cutter Disney Channel star she once was.
In the accompanying interview, Cyrus speaks candidly about her polarizing performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in August. She admits to getting a little "handsy" with Robin Thicke, but says it's no worse than what he did to her. "No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of 'Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,' but never, 'Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.' They're only talking about the one that bent over," she says. "So obviously there's a double standard."


"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong," she adds. "Like, I was watching Breaking Badthe other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'f--k.' And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'f--k'? It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'? Whatever."
Cyrus, 20, was amused by her critics, particularly Brooke Shields, who played her mom on Hannah Montana and called the performance "desperate."
"Brooke Shields was in a movie where she was a prostitute at age 12!" Cyrus says with a laugh, referencing Shields' role in the controversial 1978 filmPretty Baby.
Cyrus, of course, knows her antics are raising quite a few eyebrows. "I think it's an important time not to Google myself," she admits.
Though her VMAs performance was widely panned, Cyrus says she "wasn't trying to be sexy" when she sang "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines" with Thicke. "If I was trying to be sexy, I could have been sexy. I can dance a lot better than I was dancing," she explains. The singer also acknowledges that her stubby pigtails made her "look like a little creature."
Cyrus also tells Rolling Stone that her twerking has gotten out of hand. "People are like, 'Miley thinks she's a black girl, but she's got the flattest ass ever,'" she says. "I'm like, ‘I'm 108 pounds! I know!' Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I'll probably never do that s--t again."



Miley Cyrus and Mike Will Made It Release Sexy Music Video for "23"—Watch Now!

Miley Cyrus and Mike Will Made It's "23" music video is here!
The 20-year's old singer announced the new vid via Twitter this morning, writing, "Watch #23 now." She also shared, "Get #23 to a million and imma start my #bangerz line countdown :)."
At the beginning of the video, which takes place in a high school, Miley starts off the song by singing and dancing with her girls in a bathroom. And yes, Cyrus, who shows lots of skin in sexy top and bottoms made from a red jersey, even sticks out her tongue while showing off her sexy dance moves.
"I'm in the club, high off purp with some shades on/ Tatted up, miniskirt and my J's on," the "Wrecking Ball" songstress sings. "I back it up ‘cause I don't give a f--k/ If you a lame that's a shame you can't hang with us."
At one point, Miley, who's joined by Mike Will, Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa, dances on some basketball court bleachers with that infamous foam finger from her controversial VMA performance with Robin Thicke.
Over the weekend at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, Juicy J told us of working with Miley, "I never thought I would collaborate with Miley Cyrus, but I am so glad it happened. It's like not even real to me! I have to pinch myself. It's almost like a dream come true 'cause she is super talented. We made a lot of great records together."
Check out the sexy new music video for yourself!
