Today show contributor Giada De Laurentiis announced she is pregnant on Monday morning's show.  I am not sure if De Laurentiis was just trying to make Matt Lauer feel better after NBC showed a picture of him getting sick on a boat or what, but Giada blurted this out:

“I have to say I kind of understand how he’s been feeling, because the last four months, I’ve been feeling that way,” she told TODAY’s Natalie Morales and Hoda Kotb in the show’s studios in New York. “So I thought I’d share with you guys something I can’t hold back any longer — come April, I’m going to be a mom!”

After getting hugs from everyone in the studio, Al Roker gave De Laurentiis a thumbs-up from the cloud forest on the equator in Ecuador, while Ann Curry, battling the Antarctic cold inside a red anorak in McMurdo Station, and Lauer applauded.

De Laurentiis married fashion designer Todd Thompson in 2003.  She is 37 years old. Giada is best known for her work on the Food Network. She is also a published author. De Laurentiis and Thompson are expected a girl!

What's this? A star in the midst? Judge Judy  Judge Larry Seidlin, the clown presiding over Anna Nicole Smith's circus/custody/burial/babydaddy court case may be headed STRAIGHT for his 14:59 minutes of fame.

The 56 yr-old former cab driver has perfected his TV personna and during the court preceedings has been referring to the many lawyers based on their state of residence rather than by name.  He has also quoted such cliche sayings as, "In the old days, I'd be bangin' some heads together!"  He even cried when he gave his verdict!

Ugh, could someone show this guy his own playback? He's Oh soOo cheesy.

Howard K Stern's lawyer, Krista Barth, didn't seem to enjoy Judge Seidlin's antics whatsoever saying she "objected to everything...under the sun."  Seidlin's courtroom has been referred to as "circus-like" and his quotes to the crowd of spectators and TV cameras have made the solemn case feel like a like an episode of something worthy of a traffic court.

Bottom line: He was more impressive driving a yellow cab with offensively strong body odor.

Happy Friday everyone!  It has been an overly exciting week for us here at GaySocialites.com.  Over the past two days, our hits have gone up by almost 300%!  We must thank you for coming by and beg you to check out our advertisers scattered all over the page or to buy an ad for your business!

In the news this week, I must say I am SO relieved that Anna Nicole Smith will finally be laid to rest.  Even though I lost hope for her before she died, the blonde bomb shell will always hold a special place in my heart.  Now, I just hope they can figure out who Dannielynn's father is so she can get her life started.  I really hope it isn't this complicated when I die!  Just burn me at the stake and scatter my ashes, I don't care!

Britney Spears is safe and sound back in rehab after a week long bad publicity tour.  It is pretty bad when Kevin Federline has to step in as the voice of reason to calm her down.  I don't know why he would even try.  I wouldn't support someone who stands in front of my house throwing lawn furniture at photographers.  Maybe K-Fed is a better man than we have given him credit for!

New Jersey gays started getting unioned, and their Supreme Court is standing up against gay bullying.  This might make Jersey the gayest state in the land for now.  We hear that Illinois wants to jump on the ban wagon though by adding gay marriage to their state while Rhode Island is at least considering recognizing gay marriages from Massachusetts.  Meanwhile one of fellow gay bloggers, Perez Hilton, seems to be looking at the beginning of the end after being slapped with his second hefty lawsuit for stealing pictures. 

It is truly the year of the gay! 

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Later today, we'll have a special club guide as many New Yorkers will start to see a transition in the gay "scene" there.

Who would have ever thought that Kevin Federline would be the more fit parent for the two babies if he and Britney Spears ever split?  It looks that might be the case, or at least he thinks so!

K-Fed has asked for an emergency hearing to discuss the custody battle with his estranged wife, Britney Spears.  It looks like Federline will try to prove that Britney is an unfit mother for five-month-old Jayden James and 17-month-old Sean Preston and ask the judge for custody of their two sons.

Early Thursday morning (in just a few hours), Kevin and his attorney will appear before the judge.  Britney Spears may loose her children by the end of the day.  We may eat our words if a judge deems Kevin Federline a more fit parent that Britney Spears.

The suspense is killing me!
