Pop singer Mariah Carey is reportedly expecting a baby boy with husband Nick Cannon and is set to reveal further details on her pregnancy in the coming weeks. Despite months of speculation, the 'Touch My Body' hitmaker is yet to confirm she is pregnant, but sources claim that she is having a son and her superstitious nature has prevented her from revealing anything yet, reported Contactmusic. "She's having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn't want to say anything is because she is 40, and she's superstitious. But she's going to appear on 'Oprah' and 'The View', so she's planning on making the announcement soon," said a source. Carey stopped drinking alcohol earlier this year and gained weight due to undergoing fertility treatment with the hope of having a child. “The fertility drugs were the reason for her weight gain earlier this year. She stopped drinking back in March or April," the source added.

There's some bad news for those of you who are in love with the Akshay Kumar endorsed Micromax Mobiles.  The news  is that, Akki will no longer be able to say "It twinkles!" in the ad, while his wifey dearest Twinkle Khanna flashes a 'Micromax Bling' phone. Reason? Well, Delhi High Court has restrained Micromax, from selling or advertising the 'Bling' brand as it acceded to a trademark violation filed by Delhi-based mobile phone  maker Bling Telecom. The order states that the court has restrained Micromax, including its employees, agents, representatives, or anyone acting on their behalf, from using the trademark 'Bling' or any other name confusingly similar till the next date of hearing, February 8, 2011. The court order (dated October 19, 2010), restrains the said company from displaying the Bling ads on TV and print. Hopefully, Akshay will cover up for the missing 'Bling' with his presence in the commercials. Source: Indian Express
