Mariah proudly shows off the room waiting for her bundles of joy, designed by the mama-to-be, Gail Sedigh and famous decorator Mario Buatta. Mariah wants her twins to be themselves, have their own identity and not become a blue and pink cliché.

“I wanted to create a beautiful, tranquil, cozy environment for the babies,” Mariah tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. “Everything matches, but pieces are individualized to celebrate the twins as separate entities.”

“Designing the LA nursery with Gail Sedigh of AFK Furniture and world-famous decorator Mario Buatta was so challenging because I had such specific ideas I wanted implemented. I feel like I’m bringing two individuals into the world, so I wanted to do more than cookie-cutter styles in blue and pink.”

Gorgeous. Fantastic. Green is the new blue. LOL. Mariah revealed that her favorite part of the twin’s LA nursery is the cloudscape, star-speckled ceiling. The decoration also includes butterflies, a big stuffed-animal giraffe and super-soft stuffed-animal lambs.

“The ceiling has orangey-pink clouds in a blue sky with golden stars twinkling. It’s based on two songs I wrote that are fan favorites: ‘Underneath the Stars’ and ‘Close My Eyes,’” Mariah tells Life & Style. “Sometimes I just sit in the nursery and stare at the ceiling because I love it so much. To me, it symbolizes wanting my children to dream as big as possible and to let their imaginations be unbridled.”

Mariah and Nick are absolutely ready for these babies. Mariah has been waiting her whole life to become a mom. The singer believes these babies will come to the world to teach them a precious lesson. Babies are usually good teaching the parents all about selflessness.

“Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us,” Mariah says. “It’s going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded. One thing I’m sure of is that I’ll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what.”

Congratulations to Mariah and Nick!

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” star, Gretchen Rossi, and her boyfriend, Slade Smiley, are being sued for breach of contract, deceit, fraud and conspiracy by their former business partner, Ronann Myers, over the Gretchen Christine Beaute make-up line.

Ronann, a former make-up artist and Gretchen’s friend and business partner, claims that they started the make-up company together and agreed to split the profits 50/50. Gretchen and Ronann both initially invested $15k, but Ronann never signed a partnership agreement.

Gretchen and Ronann had an oral agreement, but when Ronann asked the real housewife to sign the papers, her boyfriend did not let her. Ronann is now seeking $100k in damages and attorneys’ fees.

The lawsuit states: “From February 2009 onward, Rossi and Smiley engaged in an elaborate scheme to defraud Plaintiff out of her interest in the make-up Line.

“Rossi and Smiley conspired to exploit Plaintiff’s experience in, knowledge of and contacts within the make-up industry to create, design, launch and promote ‘Gretchen Christine Beaute.’ Once Rossi and Smiley obtained what they needed from Plaintiff, they planned to ‘cut her off without a dime.’ Their plan was premeditated.”

Gretchen reportedly also took $2183.00 out of their joint business account without Ronann’s permission. The real housewife’s business partner also accuses her of having sale profits directly deposited on her own personal PayPal account.

Oh, come on! Fake sex with Reese Witherspoon cannot be that bad. Actor Robert Pattinson confessed that he got really “emotional” and “cried” while filming the steamy romantic sex scenes for the movie “Water For Elephants”. Did he? Reallly? Rob claims he cried at Reese’s beauty, while Reese reveals he just had a nasty cold.

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Caught Making Out In The Backseat!

In a recent interview, Reese said that her sex scenes with the Twilight heartthrob were absolutely disgusting because he had horrible cold and basically snorted throughout the whole intimate scene. Reese will never forget it.

Reese said, “Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I’ve ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life. He was literally snorting and snorting through every second of it – and it was not appealing. I’m talking green, infectious, disgusting – I’m not kidding!”

At the premiere of “Water For Elephants”, the 24 year-old actor finally had the opportunity to tell his version of events. Rob is absolutely awkwardly funny and incredibly adorable.

“I mean, sexy doesn’t cover it. I don’t know how we got this rating, that’s all I’m gonna say,” Reese deadpanned. Rob took it a step further. “I was actually crying at how sexy Reese was in the scene.”

“It’s true, I was making a coverup for him,” Reese jokingly admitted.

“She thought it was embarrassing for me to be crying, but I think it’s more embarrassing to be sniffing. I’m totally okay with crying at her beauty.”

Robert’s snorting and charms captivated his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart’s heart as the two were seen kissing and making out in the backseat of a car after the “Water for Elephants” premiere on Sunday (April 17). Kristen did not walk the red carpet, but she sneaked in the back door of the theater to watch the movie with her lover.

YouTube teen sensation Rebecca Black, whose viral hit “Friday” has already been viewed more than 110 million times, is currently under police protection because of two scary death threats, which came over the phone and e-mail.

Rebecca Black’s Viral “Friday” & Cyberbulling On GMA (VIDEO)

The 13 year-old has been highly criticized and her song was called the worst song of all time. However, Rebecca managed to get support from Ryan Seacrest and Lady GaGa, who called her a genius.

In an interview for Good Morning America last month, Rebecca said she was a victim of cyber-bulling (more details/video here). So, the Anaheim Police is taking the death threats seriously and keeping an eye on the teen while investigating the case.

Anaheim Police spokesman Rick Martinez says: “One of the threats came over the phone and another emailed.”

He adds: “The threats were related to getting the music off the Internet or they would kill her. We are taking the threats very seriously. Officers are keeping a watchful eye on her during this on-going investigation.”

Rebecca is just a girl trying to have some fun. She knows she is not the best singer in the world, but let’s try to not ruin this girl’s life. If you don’t like Black’s “Friday”, then ignore it. Do not attack a young girl over this silly song. It’s not worth it!

Original Bone Thugs-n-Harmony member, Krayzie Bone, officially announced he would be leaving the group over “uncontrollable circumstances” after 20 years together in a video message posted on YouTube last week (watch video below).

The hip hop group formed in Cleveland, Ohio back in 1991. Rapper Eazy-E discovered the group and signed them to Ruthless Records in 1994. According to other members of the group, Flesh-n-Bone and Layzie Bone, Krayzie’s departure is disrespectful to the memory of Eazy-E, who died due to complications from AIDS in 1995.

Flesh tells TMZ, “Krayzie might as well say ‘F**k Eazy-E’ because he is disrespecting Eazy-E’s legacy by leaving the group.”

“Let [Krayzie] walk away … Bone Thugs will be here regardless. The group will not be affected by Krayzie going … he knows where home is,” he added.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony will continue to make music with or without Krayzie Bone. The remaining members of the group are just furious about his decision to leave because they believe Krayzie owes them who he is right now.

Reese Witherspoon LOVES country music! Actress Reese Witherspoon, who is currently promoting her movie “Water For Elephants”, reveals a bit more about her wedding in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres for The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday (April 21).

The 35 year-old, who married Jim Toth at her Ojain ranch in March, revealed that she changed into cowboy boots to dance her booty off on the dance floor at her big wedding day. Reese had a DJ, lots of country music and a lot of fun. Here’s what she had to say:

Reese on her wedding day….

Ellen: “Congratulations on getting married.”
Reese: “Thank you.”
Ellen: “Were you able to enjoy it? It was smallish, right?”
Reese: “Yeah, it was small and it was nice. My family, it was great, kids, dancing.”
Ellen: “Portia and I were going to have a bigger wedding and then we decided to just have… we had 17 people so we could actually really talk to everyone. Did you feel like you had to talk to everyone there?”
Reese: “Yeah, I get nervous too. I don’t like having birthday parties. I mean, I like going to parties. I just don’t like it when it’s about me. Which is so bizarre but and then once I’m there, I’m having the best time and I dance for four hours until I had to put cowboy boots on.”
Ellen: “So you changed obviously?”
Reese: “Well, I changed into cowboy boots. From those awful uncomfortable shoes that look like this.” (Looks down at the shoes she is wearing.)
Ellen: “Did you a DJ or a band? What did you do?”
Reese: “I had both. I had a country music, blue grass, Rockabilly band, that was so cool and then a DJ.”
Ellen: “Did you have a song that you danced to? Is that too personal? Did you have like a song?”
Reese: “Oh, lots of songs.”
Ellen: “Not like a song?”
Reese: “No, not like one song but tons and tons of country music. I’m a big country music fan.”

Lauren Alaina delivered a lukewarm performance of Sara Evan‘s “Born To Fly” (2000) at the American Idol season 10 Top 7 live show dedicated to songs from the 21st century on Wednesday (April 20)- watch video below.

Steven Tyler loved it, but asked Lauren to take on bigger and more confident performers like Allison Krause, Shania Twain or Faith Hill. Jennifer Lopez said Lauren has so much character and color in her notes, but thinks she is holding back and not believing in herself. Randy Jackson proclaimed Lauren can sing anything and must challenge herself.

Seriously? I thought that was totally predictable and kind of boring. Where is Lauren’s confidence? This girl basically challenged Steven for a sing off during her first audience. So where is that fearless girl? Lauren needs to stop holding back and take one huge risk.

Stefano Langone delivered a great rendition of Ne-Yo’s “Closer” (2008) at the American Idol season 10 Top 7 live show dedicated to songs from the 21st century on Wednesday (April 20)- watch video below.

Steven Tyler hoped Stefano would dance and he did. Good job. Jennifer Lopez said he had his swag going on, and speaking for all the ladies in the audience she loved it. Randy Jackson was really impressed with Stefano, saying he finally took his time with the verses and delivered a great performance.

American Idol Love Triangle: Stefano Langone, Haley Reinhart & Casey Abrams

This is it! This is Stefano’s best performance on Idol. Incredible. Stefano looked a lot more confident and he acted it out. Stefano looked at the camera like he had never done before. That was kind of sexy! He interacted with the audience. That last note was smooth. LOVED IT!

Casey Abrams performed Maroon 5’s “Harder To Breathe” (2002) and stole a kiss from Jennifer Lopez at the American Idol season 10 Top 7 live show dedicated to songs from the 21st century on Wednesday (April 20)- watch video below.

After the stolen kiss, Jennifer proclaimed it was not fair because he has soft lips, but she loved it (the performance, of course!). LOL. Steven Tyler bleeped is booty off… the rocker said he has been trying to kiss JLo for four months, but Casey is so good he is changing many people’s minds. Randy Jackson appreciated the fact Casey continues to take chances.

Casey Abrams & Haley Reinhart “Moaning” On American Idol (VIDEO)

I LOVED it. Casey did a good job. However, I’m actually worried about this performance because Casey is going back to the whole scary rocker vibe that got him in trouble right after he performed Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (video here) a few weeks ago. Casey is a jazzy/bluesy guy. Casey likes to take risks, but let’s not forget Idol is a competition.

Jacob Lusk delivered an emotional rendition of Luther Vandross‘ “Dance With My Father” (2003) at the American Idol season 10 Top 7 live show dedicated to songs from the 21st century on Wednesday (April 20)- watch video below.

Steven Tyler said Jacob reminds him all the time why he loves music. Blah. Jennifer Lopez said it’s hard to perform a song when it means so much to you, meaning Jacob was not able to control his vocals. Randy Jackson thought that emotionally it was a great performance, but vocally it was not impressive.

American Idol’s Jacob Lusk Sang His Way Out Of Jail (MUGSHOT)

Oh, please! I’m sick of Jacob’s cheesiness. And stop calling him baby Luther. Jacob is not even close to being half of the artist Luther Vandross was. Respect Luther, please! Jacob lost his father when he was just 12 and that’s why the song meant so much to him. Jacob bores me. I really couldn’t see him on the radio right now. And if he was, I would turn it off.

Haley Reinhart performed her own rendition of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” (2010) at the American Idol season 10 Top 7 live show dedicated to songs from the 21st century on Wednesday (April 20)- watch video below.

Steven Tyler loved it (of course!), thought it was a bit slow at the start, but said it was beautiful (why does he bother to speak?). Randy Jackson was impressed, saying Haley took a step in the right direction. Jennifer Lopez claimed it took a lot of guts to tackle an Adele song, but loved it when Haley brought herself into it.

I LOVED it. Haley continues to get stronger each week. She was confident about what she was singing. The whole attitude, exquisite voice and the fact Haley finally understood she is a bluesy/jazzy singer made her a contender on the show. No more bottom 3 for Haley. She rocked it.

James Durbin rocked the stage with a rendition of “Uprising” (2009) by Muse at the American Idol season 10 Top 7 live show dedicated to songs from the 21st century on Wednesday (April 20)- watch video below.

Jennifer Lopez thought it was amazing, and proclaimed this would be theatrically the best performance of the night. Steven Tyler told James to not rob his wardrobe and thought the performance was crazy good in the T-Rex direction. Blah. Randy Jackson thought it was unbelievably good.

American Idol James Durbin NO Adam Lambert 2.0

I thought that was a bit pitchy. James continues to rock the competition. He knows the steps he has to take to win this. And I’m afraid Adam Lambert 2.0 ends up winning this competition as some sort of revenge. That was not James best performance, but it certainly was entertaining.
