The Palace Will Gives Everyone A Heads Up When Kate Middleton Goes Into Labor
Jun 19th
Today, St. James’s Palace announced the way in which Britain’s third-in-line will be welcomed into the world. Not only that, but they’ll let all us eager beavers know when the Duchess of Cambridge goes into labor.
“While it is a deeply personal and private event, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge realise this is a time of national celebration and that there will be vast interest in the baby,” a palace spokesperson said, according to the Daily Mail. ”They realise many people will want to share in their happiness.”
Though Twitter and other social media mediums will be utilized to make the announcement, the public will find out about Will and Kate’s baby through the wonder of British pomp and pageantry.
“We wanted to retain some of the theatre of the notice,” a palace spokesperson said. ”It is quite important to us that this is done properly and with the degree of dignity that the event demands. This is the birth of a child who will be in line to the throne. It is a rare occasion and it is nice to be able to do it with some historical precedence.
“It is very important [to us] that it will not be announced first on Twitter, although it will be announced on Twitter in due course.”
So here’s what will happen (just like it did for Prince William’s birth in 1982): A formal notice – printed on Buckingham Palace stationary – will be signed by doctors and nurses who assisted HRH during delivery. The notice will then be brought to the Lindo Wing’s front entrance (at St. Mary’s hospital, where Catherine is expected to deliver) by a press officer.
From there, the notice will be handed to a waiting driver, who will then drive it(complete with a police escort) to Buckingham Palace. It will then be placed on an easel by the main gates.
The birth announcement will not be made until the Queen, the Middletons and senior members of the royal family are notified. There also might be a chance that Prince William will say a few words on the steps of the hospital (but no promises).
The Royal Berkshire hospital in Reading is a back-up plan in case Catherine goes into labor at her parents’ Bucklebury home.

Kristen Stewart Gets Her Hot Dog Fix In New Orleans
Jun 19th
First Kristen Stewart went to Hooters, and now she’s moved on to hot dogs.
The 23-year-old actress was just spotted at Dat Dog in New Orleans getting her frankfurter fix. This fast food sighting comes only days after Kristen was seen chilling at a Texas area Hooters.
“No one noticed her, but my friend and her brother noticed her,” eyewitness James Joyce, who took the snap, told Celebuzz. “We didn’t go and talk with her.”
So get your grub on, girl. We are liking your no frills approach to dining!
While Stewart was munching on hot dogs, her ex Robert Pattinson was busy making out with a blonde model. Well, in his new ad for Dior Homme anyway. Sneak peeks of his sexy commercial are making the internet rounds and the results are… hot.
Rob may have his fancy fragrance ads, but it looks like Kristen is enjoying her Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives-like tour of America.
Don’t ever change, K. Stew!
Nick Cannon On Amanda Bynes: ‘That’s Sad’
Jun 19th
Another day, another celebrity reaches out to Amanda Bynes.
Going where many have gone before, Nick Cannon has too expressed concern for the troubled starlet, telling Howard Stern on his radio show that she’s drastically changed from when they’ve worked together several years ago.
“To see someone you’d seen at 9, running around with a snotty nose, and now to see her like that is like, ‘Wow, man! That’s sad,’” Cannon explained.
The 32-year-old America’s Got Talent star added that Bynes was ”like his little sister.”
“I tried to reach out,” he continued, but told the DJ that he hadn’t been able to reach her.
However, Cannon best be careful when extending an olive branch to the former Nickelodeon star. Other famous faces who’ve voiced their worries about Bynes in the past — including Lance Bass, Jenny McCarthy and Dr. Drew — have all been slammed by the actress in response (mostly about how “ugly” they are).
