Has Kardashian’s baby been born?

From Wire Reports

It looks to be a baby girl for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Or does it?

The couple was keeping silent Sunday in the wake of multiple reports that Kardashian has given birth over the weekend, about a month premature.

But Kardashian’s sister Khloe appears to have let a rather cryptic cat out of the bag on Twitter.

“I can not even begin 2describe the miracle that is now apart of our family. Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We appreciate all of the love,” she tweeted Sunday.

She quickly followed with a second tweet: “More info will come when the time is right! Thank you all for understanding! We love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love right now.”

Connecticut woman named Miss USA

A 25-year-old contestant from Connecticut won the title of Miss USA in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

Erin Brady won the beauty pageant at the Planet Hollywood hotel-casino after strutting in a white sparkly gown and answering a question about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding widespread DNA tests. Asked if she agreed with the decision, Brady said she did.

Brady gets the crown and a New York apartment for one year.

Unlike the rival Miss America pageant, Miss USA does not ask its queens to perform a talent or choose a charity mission.

‘Tanning mom’ enrolled into detox

A New Jersey woman widely known as “the tanning mom” was sent to a detox facility after allegedly being intoxicated at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

An airport spokesman said airport police were called to the Delta ticket counter Thursday afternoon because of an intoxicated woman.

Patricia Krentcil was accused of child endangerment in April 2012 for allegedly taking her daughter, then 5, into a New Jersey tanning booth with her. A grand jury later refused to indict her.

Woman hit by Miguel likely to sue

The lawyer for a woman who Miguel landed on during a leap while performing at the Billboard Music Awards says his client continues to suffer cognitive difficulties and hasn’t received any help from the R&B artist.

Vip Bhola represents 21-year-old Khyati Shah, whose head hit a stage when Miguel leaped onto a platform during last month’s awards show.

Bhola says representatives for Miguel and the awards show are practically daring him to sue them over the incident.
