| Joanne Borgella Dies; Former American Idol Finalist Was 32 Years <b>...</b> Posted: 19 Oct 2014 03:38 AM PDT Joanne Borgella, a finalist on Season 7 of American Idol and the first-ever winner of Mo'Nique's Fat Chance, died after a long battle with cancer on Saturday. She was 32 years old. Borgella's family confirmed the tragic news via a brief message on Facebook that reads: "With heavy hearts, we are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Joanne." Borgella competed on the opening season of Mo'Nique's Fat Chance as "Miss F.A.T." She went on to advance to the final 12 women in 2008 on American Idol. Five years later, Joanne was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, updating fans about her condition in a series of Facebook videos.. Her last update came on September 23, as she prepared for more radiation and chemotherapy. "At an early age, Joanne made a choice to serve and trust the Lord; and since her diagnosis over a year ago, Joanne made a choice to also be a fighter and share her journey with the world," her family wrote on Facebook, adding: "Her faith, courage and strength were unshaken throughout every obstacle she encountered," continued Borgella's family. "Although our family is suffering with this great loss, we find comfort in the closeness Joanne shared with the Lord. "We know her spirit still shines and will continue to live on in heaven."  |
| Kourtney Kardashian: Expecting a Girl! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b> Posted: 17 Oct 2014 05:27 AM PDT The pregnant Kourtney Kardashian's third child will be a girl, according to new reports. The little one will be born into her beautiful growing brood in a few months. Her children Mason, 4, and Penelope, 2, will soon have a baby sister to look after. Along with longtime love Scott Disick, Kourt will basically have four kids.  Kourtney Kardashian's third pregnancy was first reported in June. It's unclear when her due date is, but the baby girl will arrive late this year or early next. If you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online, you remember the awkward moment when she told Scott Disick he was going to be a dad again. While Scott and Kourtney have been through a lot and always seem to come out on the other side of their problems, he did not seem to take this well. Kourtney's sisters Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian are pretty thrilled, no doubt, as the trio already has a designer line of kids' clothing for girls. The stylish star said over the summer that she had become "obsessed" with the "mommy-daughter bikinis" at her Dash pop-up shop in the Hamptons. She shared a photo of the two-pieces - a floral bandeau top and matching bottoms for mom, and a coordinating bikini with crocheted details for Penelope. Having grown as up the oldest of five girls, if you include half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and just one brother (poor Rob), the sisterly bond is strong. "I am obsessed with my sisters. Being the oldest, I probably just have that in me," the star told Redbook. "But I also think I am the youngest sometimes." "We all have moments when we are the maternal one of the group." Congratulations on the new arrival, and here's hoping that Scott has come down off the ledge and readjusted to life in the real world again at this point. Seriously. Dude has to man up and pull his drunk self together. |
