Nicole Richie Has Baby Boy

Nicole Richie gave birth to her second child with Joel Madden, a boy, earlier today - giving him one of the coolest birthdays ever: 9-9-09. What some might not consider to be so cool is his name, Sparrow James Midnight Madden. He weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and joins big sister Harlow in the Richie-Madden family. Nicole's website says: "Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes."

Jay-Z's Charity Concert Lures Scalpers

Jay-Z is not happy about scalpers scooping up the majority of his charity concert tickets scheduled for September 11th. The tickets, which were economically priced on purpose, were sold out within an hour of being available online. Scalper websites had the tickets up for hundreds, even thousands of dollars, immediately after the initial tickets were sold.
"We are truly disheartened that certain individuals would choose to benefit from what is meant to be a 100% charitable event," said Jay-Z. "We do not support any profits made from reselling any ticket that was meant to be purchased by honest fans."

The concert, set on September 11th to commemorate the release of Jay-Z's iconic album The Blueprint and the subsequent release of The Blueprint III, will directly benefit the Fire Widows' and Children Benefit Fund and New York Police. Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter, is disappointed that true fans may not be able to make it due to the scalping situation.

Yours truly was spurned when trying to pick up tickets forthis once in a lifetime affair. Tickets were jacked up to $2,500 on amazon.com by 12:45 PM yesterday afternoon. It's a shame that Jay-Z tickets are such a hot commodity that scalpers will take advantage of the situation. I hope this experience doesn't sour him on making economically priced tickets in the future.

The Dream Weds Christina Milian

Singer, producer, and songwriter The Dream wedded his fiance Christina Milian at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas last week. The two applied for a marriage license more than a month ago in Los Angeles. The Dream, famous for his songwriting credits on last summer's smash hit, "Umbrella", has been patiently waiting to start a family with Milian. The Dream once stated, "You have to do your work- then whenever she makes that time for herself, she'll make that time [to have a baby]. In the next couple of years, there'll be something around."

At the end of the summer, Christina Milian's name started floating around more and more, due to her starring role in the drawn-out "Bring It On" series. She played the hot, flawed cheerleader in the straight to DVD release "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish". Milian is most famous for her hits like 2001's "AM to PM" and 2004's get-naked-and-dance-in-mud-themed "Dip It Low".

Milian and the Dream have been dating since early 2009. Cut to nine months later, they're married. Fast forward nine months from now, who knows. Hopefully this couple's love won't fall by the Hollywood wayside.
