Kelly Clarkson’s appearance on American Idol this evening has set tongues wagging after Clarkson showed what on the surface at least appeared to be a baby bump.
So is Kelly Clarkson pregnant? The answer is we can’t be sure, but it’s more likely just weight gain. Only recently, Clarkson told Us Weekly that she wasn’t interested at the moment in spawning children. She also told Ryan Seacrest that there is no special person in her life at the moment.
Clarkson, rumored by some to be a lesbian, has had a long battle with weight, often putting on the pounds only to lose them again in a semi-regular fashion.
One thing we can say for Clarkson: if she was pregnant, she’d probably share the news; only earlier today, details of an interview she did with Blender Magazine included gems from Clarkson such as she pisses on her self in the shower, and that she analyzes her snot for illness.

From swimsuit competition glamour to parish pulpit clamor
Beauty queen is now a pastor
COTUIT - On a recent Sunday morning, 30-year-old Nicole Lamarche, a former Miss California, stood before a crowd in a simple clapboard church next to a local watering hole. She wore high-heeled boots, her thin figure draped in a black robe.
"I feel so lucky to be your pastor," she proclaimed.
Lamarche became minister of Cotuit Federated Church two years ago, shaking up its stodgy routine and causing quite a stir in this quiet Cape Cod village of about 2,600 year-round residents.
She says four parishioners defected early on, after people Googled her name and discovered her beauty pageant past, but these days residents credit Lamarche with injecting new dynamism into the town and the church.
Lamarche says she understands that for some the "pastor in a swimsuit thing" is hard to swallow, but she simply needed the money. Loyal members of her congregation accept her explanation, buoying her spirits. Plus, says Lamarche, "If you can walk on a stage in your swimsuit, you can do anything."
After a service earlier this year, the congregation gathered for coffee, fruit salad, and cookies in an adjoining reception room, chattering with each other and the pastor who was once Miss Desert Vista.
"Just listen to it," said Pam Bode, a member of the church since 1985. "This is a church that has come alive."
"She's good for God," agreed Norman Knight, a 79-year-old retired welder, one of about a hundred regular members of the church who now attend weekly.
The path from beauty-pageant winner to pastor has not always been smooth. Lamarche grew up going to church near her hometown of Chattaroy, Wash., and joined a campus ministry group when she started college at the University of Arizona. An international relations major, she planned to join the foreign service after graduation.
The minister at her church suggested she consider seminary school instead. She had her doubts, but agreed to attend a "ministry as vocation" weekend at the Pacific School of Religion in California after the minister offered to pay her airfare to Berkeley. She enrolled and started the following year.
But Lamarche needed money, she recalled, and she was drawn to scholarship prizes she heard about in pageant competition.
Her first attempt was for the Miss Tucson title in 2000. Things did not go well. Recently returned from a backpacking trip around Europe, she had what she describes as "a short German haircut."
She cried onstage during the swimsuit competition and wore an old prom dress for the evening wear portion. She walked away empty-handed.
But in 2001, she became Miss Desert Vista, coming in first runner-up for Miss Arizona later that year.
When she moved to California that summer for seminary school, she thought her pageant days were behind her. But the mother of the 1998 Miss California winner found Lamarche on an online message board and convinced her to compete.

Deadly Love Triangle Exposes Secret Life of Kinky "JadeVixen"
The tawdry details of the S&M lifestyle enjoyed by a rising star attorney at Manhattan law firm were exposed after he was shot dead by a rival for the affections of his stunning stilettoed girlfriend -- a brunette Ivy Leaguer who moonlighted as a dominatrix, authorities said.Anthony Ottaviano, 40, was shot dead by a tattooed maniac whose obsession with the attorney's girlfriend, Edythe Maa, drove him to follow the couple to Maa's Philadelphia home, shoot Ottaviano and kidnap the dominatrix, the New York Post reported.
The 42-year-old former client of Maa's eventually released the petite brunette before he turned the same gun he used to slay Ottaviano on himself and committed suicide, according to The Post.
"Jade Vixen - she's the greatest fetish model since Betty Page!" the madman, David Krieg, gushed on a video on his MySpace page.
Ottaviano worked at the prestigious firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison but lusted after the S&M lifestyle, which turned out to be his downfall.
His passion for the leather-clad lifestyle was shared by Maa, a former Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania known in fetish circles as Jade Vixen.
The couple would often attend kinky fetish parties in New York City -- with the Manhattan attorney sporting a garter belt, stockings, high heels and a dash of lipstick, according to The Post.
The 5-foot-4 Maa boasts of 32D-22-32 measurements on fetish websites and says she specializes tickle torture, nipple play and "sissy slut training" and will engage in forced feminization, medical play and genital torture, the Post reported.
Maa's closet was full of latex, leather, corsets and stilettos and her clients include men, women and transgenders.

New York Post on Olmert scandal
Though the Israeli media is more or less obeying a gag order on the Olmert scandal, the website of Israel's Ynet is kind enough to inform us that the non-Israeli New York Post claims to be in possession of the basic details. With Israel facing grave security challenges including possible imminent Iranian nuclearization, it can be validly claimed that what we don't need now is for the political system to get plunged into chaos with Tzipi Livni as caretaker prime minister (that's if Olmert really gets booted). Though that would clearly have its downsides, I still think Olmert continuing is the greater evil.

Colbert becomes Greatest Living American
Stephen Colbert won the "Webby Person of the Year" Award. Colbert became the "Greatest Living American" in the eyes of Google thanks to his fans who took to the Internet and "Google-bombed" him to the top. They did so by posting comments all over the Web that contained his name and "Greatest Living American" to make him the top result when anyone searched Google for the title.
Colbert's use of the Internet, including challenging the "truthiness" of Wikipedia, attracting 78 members per minute to the Facebook page for his candidacy for president and his ability to get fans to rack up donations online for DonorsChoose.org earned him the award.
