It's official – Kim K's surrogate is in labour.

It was previously reported that the arrival of her fourth child was expected in May and it looks like the baby is set to be here on time. 

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star made the announcement in January that she and husband Kanye West were going to have a baby boy via surrogate.

And sister Kourtney has now spilled the beans while filming the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is set to air today. 

Kris Jenner was a guest on the TV show and was surprised when Ellen invited all of her grandkids and eldest daughter to join her.

When Ellen mentioned that Kim was supposed to be there, Kourtney revealed that Kim had to rush to the hospital.

She said, ''My mom doesn't even know this but Kim's surrogate went into labour.''

She continued, ''So, she's at the hospital."

Kris was shocked and said, ''No! What are we doing here?! C'mon Ellen."

Her grandkids who were on the show were Penelope Disick, Mason Disick, Reign Disick, North West, Saint West and Chicago West – and they didn't seem fazed by the news.

Reign added, ''No more! I'm done with this conversation.'' 

Good luck to the whole family – we wish them all the best with a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians have just released the latest trailer for Sunday's episode, and it's absolutely excruciating to watch. Honestly, we're cringing extremely hard right now.

The video shows the family throwing a party for Kylie Jenner and her former BFF Jordyn Woods, before the whole Tristan Thompson scandal, and Khloe herself makes a toast.

The emotional toast is given to Jordyn specifically, which makes the entire thing about 1000 times more awkward. If that was even possible.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by HEIR JORDYN (@jordynwoods) on

In the clip, Khloe addresses Jordyn directly and says how proud she is of both Woods and her younger sister Kylie.

"Jordyn, for you to be turning 21. I've known you forever, and I'm so proud of you and the woman you have grown into and you're growing into. To see you guys just stick together and be best friends through thick and thin, it's such a blessing."

She mentions Kylie's generosity while she's at it; "I know how hard you have worked on your company and everything."

"You're so generous to share that with me and Kourtney and Jordyn, and it's such a blessing because you don't have to share your blessings with us, but you kind of do.

Watch the clip above in full to see the whole speech, and to perhaps go unconscious from the sheer awkwardness of the whole thing.

The part about the duo sticking together through thick and thin really slapped us across the face, good Lord. The friendship seems well and truly dead in the water since Jordyn was embroiled in a scandal with Khloe's ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.

News broke that Woods had shared a kiss with the notorious womaniser, and then appeared on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk to defend herself and ask the public to calm down. The public, predictably, did not calm down…

Opening up about something traumatic is no easy feat.

But actor and presenter Busy Philipps has always been candid about the tough times in her life so talking about her termination was no different. 

She got real about what she went through as a teenager during the latest episode of her talk show, Busy Tonight.

In the wake of a controversial abortion law being signed in Georgia, which reportedly bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, the 39-year-old spoke out about her own experience.  

She said, ''I hope that whatever it is that you believe personally that maybe you’ll be open to hearing what I’m saying. I know that people feel very strongly about abortion, but let me just say this. Women and their doctors are in the best position to make informed decisions about what is best for them. Nobody else.''

She continued, ''Here is the reality. No bill that criminalises abortion will stop anyone from making this incredibly personal choice, but these laws will put more women at risk. Every woman deserves compassion and care, not judgment and interference when it comes to their own bodies.''

Busy added, ''I had an abortion when I was 15 years old and I’m telling you this because I’m genuinely really scared for women and girls all over the country. Having a regular Tuesday and then suddenly being reminded that people are trying to police your body. And then you just have to go back to work.''

After Busy went public with what she said, social media flooded with messages of support for the star.

One said, ''So proud you are using voice to do such good. Never stop.''

While another wrote, ''Beautiful Busy. Such courage and vulnerability. You are supported with love.''

We applaud Busy's bravery in using her platform to talk about such a sensitive topic.

Happy almost-weekend everyone!

We've made it through another week and what's waiting for us at the other end of it is deliciously relaxing. 

Couch, a cup of tea/mug of hot chocolate/glass of wine and the Late Late Show on the TV – what more could you want?

So let's get stuck into the line-up and see what guests Tubs will be talking to this week.

It was the longest-running murder trial in Irish criminal history which gripped the nation for 13 weeks, and on Friday night Bobby Ryan’s children Michelle and Robert will join host Ryan Tubridy to speak about their father and the sentencing of Patrick Quirke.

Then on a lighter note, chart-topping band Kodaline will be in for a chat ahead of their Dublin shows later this month – and you can catch them performing their latest single Brother.

Then Ireland's answer to Lena Dunham will be chatting all things to do with her new book, Can I Say No?

She will be telling Ryan about how we've lost the ability to say no and how, by reacquainting ourselves with this two letter word, we can go on to live happier, less stressful and more fulfilling lives.

Game of Thrones is one of the biggest shows on the planet, and has turned some of it's cast into superstar actors on the global stage, but it might have turned out pretty differently.

One of these iconic roles is none other than Jon Snow, but we just can't imagine anyone other than the handsome Kit Harington playing him. Guess who else auditioned for his role, though?

Nicholas Hoult. That's right, About A Boy and Tolkien star went out for the protagonist role but claims his hair and fake tan got in the way of thing…

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Nicholas Hoult (@nicholashoult) on

Imagine Kit Harington didn't land the role and then never met his wife in Iceland, Rose Leslie, AKA Ygritte and the love of Jon Snow's life? Nicholas Hoult had a pretty odd excuse for the audition going badly.

“I think I auditioned for Jon Snow,” Hoult told Page Six at Montclair Film Festival’s screening of his new film.

 “I remember it because I was filming Clash of the Titans at the time, so I had long hair extensions. They gave me a ponytail and also a very patchy fake tan. So I remember being like, ‘This is probably not what they’re hoping for,’ and it obviously wasn’t.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Jon Snow (@jonsnowposts) on

Hoult admitted to watching the first season of the massive HBO series, but failed to keep up after that. Maybe Ned Stark's death was too much for him? He apparently is waiting "to be laid up in bed with the flu" to binge-watch GOT.

"I auditioned for the pilot. I had no idea what Game of Thrones was. Didn’t get it. Kind of forgot about it." Little did the showrunners and cast know, the show was about to BLOW UP.

Despite not landing the key role, the 29-year-old wasn't too hard done by. He's super busy promoting the new X-Men film Dark Phoenix and Tolkien with Sophie Turner and Lily Collins.

He randomly practised painting while filming X-Men as preparation for playing Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Nicholas Hoult (@nicholashoult) on

“I painted … and copied his illustrations because I didn’t know that,” he said. “I didn’t know he drew the maps and illustrations for his books.

“It was just something that I was like, ‘Oh, he was interested and did that and that’s something that maybe can give me some subconscious element of his nature.'”

Fair play to the lad, but we're so glad Kit Harington became a household name after landing the role of Jon. He seems pretty perfect to us, and is just as modest and shy in real life.

*SPOILER INCOMING*

This casting news comes after Maisie Williams confessed that she almost didn't audition to play Arya Stark…imagine. Who would have killed the big bad Night King?!

There's no doubt about it, Miley's got the best of both worlds. Between living her home life on a farm with gorgeous hubby and actor Liam Hemsworth one minute to gracing the Met Ball red carpet the next; she can live two lives.

Why is that familiar? Well, rumour has it…Miley has brought Hannah Montana back before our very eyes.

At the Gala, the singer showed up to the lucrative event in a short, edgy green and black Yves Saint Laurent minidress. She looked incredible, but many were surprised that she wore such a low-key look.

The #lewk may seem laid back to some, but one eagled-eyed Twitter fan spotted that the dress bears a STRIKING resemblance to a former Hannah Montana outfit back in the day.

Is Miley an actual genius, or are we just being paranoid? The Party in the USA idol recently cut her hair for a throwback vibe, and she looks absolutely gorgeous.

Her fabulously glam, angular YSL minidress is all kinds of fun, as well as her colour-coordinated hubby. Who knew that this entire time, she's been channeling her iconic teenaged character?

The fan  @godneysbjs captioned the Instagram photo; "I knew this looked familiar," pointing out that we HAVE seen this outfit before and weren't going crazy.

The apparel is basically the same and we have officially been bamboozled by Miley again. How could the world miss a Hannah reference sneaked in? She's got new music coming out soon. so it would be the perfect promo opportunity.

As one Instagram commenter said, "Now that's camp." If this is truth, she totally nailed the Met's theme this year.

Pop icon Britney Spears has won a major legal victory in order to keep her former manager, Sam Lufti, away from her.

The news comes amid fears that he is behind a campaign of continuous harassment and even death threats against her family.

Yesterday, an LA judge granted Spears a temporary restraining order against Lutfi, meaning he is not allowed to contact the singer or her family.

Insiders from Page Six believe that Spears and her family are convinced Lufti is behind the recent #FreeBritney fan uproar. Her followers dislike the conservatorship which her father, Jamie, has over the singer.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by VANDY POP  (@vandypop) on

“If you connect the dots, it all leads to Sam being all over this,” a source told the publication. “People have been sending death threats, and they suspect it’s the same folks behind #FreeBritney.”

Lutfi has allegedly been harassing those in Britney's inner circle since she checked out of a mental health facility two weeks ago. Apparently, he contacted Spears' mother Lynne to challenge the conservatorship by offering money.

The documents also claim that Lutfi posted “disparaging and threatening comments” on social media, and requested that the public 'raise hell' to free the star. Spears went into the facility following the news of her father's illness.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on

An insider added, “Sam is trying to insinuate himself into Britney’s life again. Her family worries he could have a dangerous impact on her mental health.” Court filings suggest that he has been threatening to release private documents of Britneys from her past.

The family are convinced that the former manager drugged her back in 2007, around the time of her head-shaving meltdown.

In a 2008 book, Spears’ mom wrote, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, that Lutfi had been giving the singer Adderall in her food, which he strongly denied.

Lutfi's lawyer replied to the restraining order, saying; “We are disappointed in the results. We feel this is overly broad and violates Mr. Lutfi’s constitutional rights. We look forward to arguing the matter more fully at the hearing for a more permanent restraining order on May 28.”

Britney told her fans that she was taking some 'me-time' following Jamie's life-threatening illness, cancelling her Las Vegas show.

She checked into a mental health facility for a 30-day treatment in April, despite claims by fans that she was being held against her will. Protests ensued in Hollywood which demanded her release.

Britney took to Instagram and assured her followers that she was okay; "My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately so I just needed time to deal with it. Don’t worry, I’ll be back very soon."
