Yes indeedy. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz now has a growing belly to match her growing name. In a statement released today at the website friendsorenemies.com, the couple said "While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

So the is Pete Wentz, who denied Ashlee was pregnant a few weeks ago, a liar-liar-pants on fire? From MTV.com :

"Every woman, no matter who they are or what they do for a living, has the right to wait at least 3 months before sharing this very personal news," he wrote. "We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple.

"Being a boy I have no idea how to respond to such things and my first instinct was to protect her and the baby.

"It’s insane that you can’t let happy news brew in Hollywood. This wasn’t about press or anything. It was about the health of the baby and trying to find a way to be happy with what should be the most happy time of our lives in the middle of a press blitz. I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend."

The good news is that Flavor Flav is officially off the market and (knock wood) there will be no more Flavor of Love or Flavor of Love reunions. It seems Flav is getting married - but not to Thing 2. I know! Instead he’s decided to marry, or at least give a rock to, one of his baby mamas. These women must turn off the lights when they sleep with this man, otherwise I don’t get it. I mean, would you want that face looking over you at the moment of…well you know what I mean.

In any event, there’s video:

Good lookin’ fella. Isn’t he?

Here’s the roundup:

• Bitten and Bound calls is a shocking twist. Shocking I tell you! No one saw it coming! Except Flav and the producers and the writers…

Ok. So it’s a slow news day. Today’s top story is a picture circulating online of Shania Twain’s other woman, Marie-Anne Thiebaud.  There’s really not much of a roundup because all of the blogs say the same thing. So I’m going to save you time by saying the same thing they’re all saying. This is the woman who Mutt Lange was cheating on Shania Twain with. Mmm Hmmm. I know.
