Another apprentice is on the way for The Donald
Donald Trump‘s empire keeps on expanding, but his newest addition is on the home front. A Trump spokeswoman Tuesday confirmed a report that the 59-year-old real estate mogul/TV reality star’s wife, Melania, is pregnant.
The baby is due in the spring. Its gender is not yet known.
It would be the first child for the 35-year-old model and commercial actress, who exchanged vows with Trump in January in Palm Beach, Fla. The setting for their opulent reception was Trump’s $42 million Versailles-inspired ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago estate and club.
The New York Post, which first reported the news about the pregnancy, said the mother-to-be planned to spend time recuperating at Mar-a-Lago after giving birth.
Trump has four children from his previous marriages: Donald Jr., 27; Ivanka, 23; and Eric, 21, with first wife Ivana Trump; and Tiffany, 11, with second wife Marla Maples.
His NBC reality show, “The Apprentice,” is in its fourth season.
A bouncing baby Bo
It’s a baby boy for “American Idol” runner-up Bo Bice and his wife.
Aiden Bice was born Saturday to Bice, 29, and wife Caroline Fisher, who have been together two years and married in June. They met when he was a music store clerk and she was a waitress.
Maybe the secret’s already out
George Clooney is denying reports that he’s hosting a wedding for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at his Italian villa.
“People have said they were going to get married at my house. Well, I would know, and I can tell you there’s not going to be a secret wedding,” he says.
Split decisions

His guardian one must’ve been watching
R&B crooner D’Angelo, who Monday was reported as critically injured following an auto accident earlier this month, says he’s ready to record after being released from the hospital.
“I banged up my ribs but other than that I’m fine,” he says.
The singer rode a wave of popularity that culminated with a Grammy in 2001 for best male R&B vocal performance, but has been slowed since by drug and alcohol-related convictions.
