Miley Cyrus hit the Billboard music awards while wearing this edgy but ultimately gaudy black-and-white jumpsuit from Balmain. Miley’s been hitting it out of the fashion ballpark lately with her recent punky look at the Met Gala as well as a cute Valentino jumpsuit for Maxim, but her luck has run out with this checkered, crocheted jumpsuit that is probably meant to look rock ‘n’ roll but comes off as part doily, part Indy 500 checkered flag, and part deck of cards. Miley’s brash and sassy attitude on the red carpet helps her pull off the look somewhat, but it’s still a major eye sore. Oh well, one can’t be perfect all the time.

Miley’s hair and makeup are similarly brash. Her makeup (and especially that bold red lipstick) goes with her overall look, but the blonde-piled-on-brunette aspect is throwing me off a bit. Those darker roots aren’t bad in and of themselves, but the back view looks like Miley’s hairdresser has overdone the underdone look. Does that make sense? Oh, and while Miley walks alone yet again, Liam is supposedly partying it up in Cannes. Miley’s wearing her ring here, but I just don’t care anymore. In fact, I’m more over this relationship than Liam seems to be at the moment.

Amber Rose looked stunning in a simple black dress that draped beautifully and ended in lovely fringe-esque detail at the bottom. Her legs look great, and of course, Wiz Khalifa is so proud to have her on his arm. These two are the cutest together.

Amber Rose seemed like she was pregnant for a long time. By the time the Grammys rolled around, chica looked like she was about to pop, and sure enough, on February 21st Amber went to the hospital and delivered her first baby, a little boy she and Wiz Khalifa named Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz. Wiz’s real last name is Thomaz, by the way. What was interesting (to me) is that leading up to the birth, Amber gave multiple interviews about her plans to have an all-natural home delivery because she wanted those bragging rights. As it turns out, there were some complications and she needed a C-section. Poor Amber!

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa’s son Sebastian had a plan of his own when it came time for his birth. In an appearance on The Ricki Lake Show on Tuesday, Apr. 30, the 29-year-old model opened up about the Feb. 21 delivery of her first child and how her plan of a home water birth “went down the drain.”

After watching Lake’s film about home births, The Business of Being Born, Rose was so inspired that she decided to have a home water birth as well. “Today was the first day of my home birthing classes,” she tweeted Jan. 13. “No meds, no hospital, just the privacy of my own home. I’m so excited for this experience!”

Rose had a birthing pool, midwives and a doula ready to help her, but at 37 weeks pregnant, the first-time mom-to-be learned that her baby was breech, or feet-first.

“My ideal birth plan was just down the drain,” she said on The Ricki Lake Show. “I tried mugwort, acupuncture and then my last resort was an inversion, which is when you go to the hospital and they manually try to turn your baby,” she revealed. “They push his head down and push his butt up . . . It hurt a lot. It was very painful. I cried.”

But the procedure didn’t work, and Rose accepted that she would have to undergo a C-section to deliver her son. “Of course it wasn’t . . . what we wanted to happen, but as mentally prepared as we were for the home birth, we had to get as prepared for the C-section,” Khalifa, 25, explained in a pre-recorded video clip.

“When I went in I was terrified, shaking. I was so scared,” Rose shared. “But then Wiz came in [and] he just talked to me the whole time.”

Their son, Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz, was born on Feb. 21. “All of a sudden we heard Sebastian cry and then we both started crying,” Rose recalled. “We were like, ‘Oh my gosh, our baby’s here!’”

“I feel like I made the right decision,” Rose said. “But I knew right after having a c-section that [with] our next baby I definitely want to have my baby at home.”

I understand how there are so many women who have such strong feelings about giving birth and how it should be natural and simple and too much modernity has ruined the experience for mothers and children, and those are all valid points and they should definitely be part of the larger conversation about childbirth. But it bugs me that Amber really feels like she let herself down when something happened that she had absolutely no control over. Complications happen. Plans change. Modern medicine isn’t always the worst thing. It would have been great if she had been able to give birth at home like she planned but why is her birth experience “less than” because she simply NEEDED to give birth in a hospital with doctors? She had a healthy delivery. Her baby is fine. Isn’t that what should be the most important thing?

Amber Rose has looked ready to pop for the past six weeks, so I’m glad she finally gave birth! She gave birth on Thursday (yesterday) to a baby boy, and Wiz has already tweeted out the name of his son: Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz. “Thomaz” is actually Wiz’s real last name, did you know that? I had to look it up. His birth name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz and Wiz Khalifa is just his stage name. The more you know!! While I actually LOVE the name Sebastian (no joke), the “Taylor Thomaz” part seems… boy bandy. It actually reminds me of Jonathan Taylor Thomas, that child-star-turned-Teen-Beat cover boy from Home Improvement. Still, the kid will probably go by The Bash Thomaz. LOL.

Wiz Khalifa isn’t the only one in first class anymore. On Thursday (February 21), the Taylor Gang captain became a proud papa after his fiancée Amber Rose gave birth to their baby boy, Sebastian Thomaz.

“Happy Birthday Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz!!!” Wiz tweeted on Thursday. “Everyone welcome this perfect young man into the world.

The countdown for baby Wizbud began Tuesday afternoon when Khalifa hit Instagram with a picture of a fetal monitor and the caption: “Coming soon…” Then earlier on Thursday, Wiz posted a picture of himself in scrubs to Instagram with the caption “Daddy Time.”

Rose has been getting ready for the blessed event since last week. “Hey Rosebuds & Rosestuds Muva won’t be back on twitter until Wizbud is born I need 2 mediate & focus on our Lil boy Luv u talk soon,” she tweeted on Valentine’s Day.

The couple announced Amber’s pregnancy on the red carpet at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards on September 6 and have been sharing updates with fans and the media every step of the way. In the October/November issue of XXL magazine, Rose pledged to have an all-natural birth. “I’m so ready. I’m going all-natural. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights,” Amber told the mag. “The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’ ”

Khalifa seems ready to be a daddy: During Rose’s pregnancy, the weed advocate even curtailed his marijuana habits. “I smoke outside instead of inside. Everything is all about smells, man. If the smell irritates her, then it gotta go,” he told MTV News last year.

In January, the couple shared pics of Amber’s baby shower on Instagram. The couple decided on a baby name long ago, but only teased it during a radio interview last month. “It’s a total boss name for a boy,” Rose said.

Congrats to the happy family! I’m really pleased that everybody is happy and healthy and everything turned out okay. This is the first child for both of them, correct? Wiz doesn’t have any other babies, right? Just out of curiosity, I looked up Amber’s real name too – it’s Amber Levonchuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT. This baby’s name should seriously be The Bash Levonchuck-Thomaz. That’s amazing. I do wonder if Amber gave birth at home, like she planned. And I wonder if Wiz “pulled it out” like he planned.

Florence Welch brought her wild and weird vibe to the Grammy Awards last night. She worked every inch of a shiny and studded, jade green Givenchy design that was actually a runway design way back in 2009. I can’t think of another artist who could have pulled this off at the Grammys last night. This color looks fantastic on Florence with her bright red locks, and the face-framing fringe somewhat softens her already dramatic facial features. Florence doesn’t usually show a lot of skin, but that thigh slit is just right. And she didn’t try to pull a Jolie either — this look is all Florence.

Katy Perry and her massive rack chose to shake things up (compared to her pre-Grammys looks) with a mint-colored Gucci dress that put her boobs front and center. This dress is actually probably pushing it for CBS’ ridiculous dress code, but whatever. It’s the Grammys! This dress actually wasn’t bad — the fit was great, and that little train was just right. If anything, the color was completely wrong. A jewel tone would have been better than a shade generally found upon Easter eggs.

Allison Williams was also in attendance as Katy Perry’s “date,” which means … I have no idea. At this point (and it sounds terrible, I know), I would believe it if you told me that she, Katy, and John Mayer were partner swapping. Anyway, Allison wore a rather frumpy Kaufmanfranco gown that didn’t do anything to highlight her shape and (from far away) looked like it was made of the same material as the sails on pirate ships. It’s a very simple dress though, which fits the fact that she was only there for fun and not to take attention away from the artists being recognized. Up close, her gown was prety sparkly though, and her hair is just gorgeous.

Kaley Cuoco wisely decided to trash those awful clip-on bangs that she wore for the SAGs. She also chose to go against the general formal trend with leather pants, a white t-shirt, and a jacket by Amen. I actually like this look! It’s very hair-band rock ‘n’ roll in a classier way than Axl Rose used to wear it.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa also walked the red carpet together. Amber’s dress wore a dress by Donna Karan, and her most important accessory (of course) was her huge baby bump. I love how Wiz seems to worship her.

I vividly recall the last stages of my pregnancy, which were spent working 40+ hour workweeks while managing a chain bookstore (that shall remain unnamed), and I really hated classic maternity clothing, so I wore a lot of knee-length, roomy dresses paired with leggings. When I wasn’t working, there was no way in hell I’d be caught dead doing something voluntarily outside the house, let alone while wearing heels. Wait, scratch that idea. Going out to Mexican restaurants was a big deal, but otherwise, I was reclining sideways on the couch. Shopping for anything non essential just wasn’t going to happen.

However, Amber Rose has a different idea about how to spend the last trimester of her pregnancy, and I’m sort of amazed she hasn’t given birth yet. Admittedly, I’m looking forward to seeing whether she succeeds at claiming those “bragging rights“ over baby daddy Wiz Khalifa. She looks ready, right? Incredibly ready. In the meantime, she apparently still has enough energy to go shoe shopping at Neiman Marcus, and of course, Amber wasn’t wearing a slouchy dress with leggings. She had to work it for the paps in a skin tight, bright yellow, polka-dotted dress. She also carried a bizarre, dice-shaped purse and wore a captain’s hat. Someone was looking for a little bit of attention, right? Well, I guess Amber’s allowed to do so because once the baby is born, it will be grabbing everyone’s eyes. That’s what happens, you know. Once you have the baby, everyone forgets about that the mom even exists.

By the way, Amber may have recently described Wiz as her husband last month to TMZ, but Wiz followed up with an update that they are not yet married but simply have “always called each other husband and wife since day one.” That actually sounds kind of creepy, but I guess it works for them.

Here are some photos of a very pregnant Amber Rose on Monday while she was travelling to and from a salon in Los Angeles. I am assuming she may have had her nails done because girlfriend isn’t exactly one for elaborate hairstyles. Amber looks quite pleased with the paps’ presence, and she also looks very ready to have that baby. She should be due pretty soon, so a birth announcement is likely imminent in the coming weeks. Oddly enough, Amber may very well be in the advanced stages of pregnancy, but that didn’t stop her from wearing see-thru leggings with bright-pink panties underneath. Obviously, this is less gross than Kim Kardashian going commando under leggings while pregnant (or anytime), but I think it’s safe to conclude from the mutual legging issue that Kanye West does indeed have a “type.” Enough said on that note.

Amber and the paps do love each other, and just yesterday, she revealed to a TMZ crew that she and Wiz Khalifa are in fact married now. Who knows when they did the deed, but now she’ll have natural-birth bragging rights over not just a baby daddy but a husband. Here are the scant details:

Seems the wedding rumors are true … because Amber Rose says Wiz Khalifa ain’t just her baby daddy anymore …. he’s also her HUSBAND!!

It’s unclear when and where the two tied the knot … but Amber definitely let it slip when we shot her in L.A. yesterday.

We had just given Amber a Ninja Turtles ice cream bar — because she loves ice cream — when she said, “My husband loves Ninja Turtles.”

Fact: Wiz Khalifa has a NINJA TURTLES TATTOO on his leg!

Can you believe that Amber fully consented to a press-free wedding? I’m proud of her, and Wiz was probably thrilled with a low-key event too. I’m sure it was quite the lovely, marijuana-themed wedding. Congrats to Amber and Wiz!

Here are some photos of of Amber Rose out and about with Wiz Khalifa in Beverly Hills over the past few weeks, and Amber looks like she’s about ready to have that baby any second now. Recently, Wiz revealed in a radio interview (via Us Weekly) that Amber suffered a miscarriage just prior to this pregnancy, and the two were eager to try for this baby in the aftermath during their sadness. It sounds like both of them really want to be parents in a huge way.

Of course, Amber has been very outspoken throughout her pregnancy about her plans for the labor and her experience in general. Quite dubiously, she claimed to be planning for a natural birth just for the bragging rights, and Amber also revealed that she’s been very senstiive to the smell of marijuana while she’s been pregnant, so Wiz made a huge sacrifice by not smoking in front of her until their child is born. Now it seems that things will basically go back to normal after the baby is born, and Wiz and Amber both plan to expose their baby to marijuana (figuratively speaking, I think) once the kid is old enough to comprehend it. Bad idea?

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa have been candid about their preparations for welcoming their first child – a son – into the world. In October, Rose took to Twitter to reveal that they were having a boy and she’s happily uploaded pictures of her bare bump.

And now Rose, 29, and Khalifa, 25, are opening up about his well documented love of weed smoking. When E! News asked Khalifa if he was planning to stop smoking, he said: “I think it’s all about how you’re raised with it.” He then added: ‘Before there was a much more negative outtake on it. You know, pot and what it can do, and the effects of it.’

“Of course, I’m not going to be smoking right there over the baby, because smoke in general and being high is not good for a kid. None of that. But definitely he’s going to know what it is – and he’ll know the difference between being a child and not being able to use it and being an adult and knowing how to use it.”

Rose concurred: “It’s just like alcohol, basically. That’s how I feel about it, you know. When you’re a kid, you know that you’re not supposed to drink alcohol, that it’s for adults and that’s it.” She added: “Our son is just going to know that daddy likes to smoke.”

Khalifa has always been honest about his affinity for weed, in 2010, he told MTV: “I thought weed was bad for a minute. When I was younger, I thought it was bad, but I got to a point where it worked for me. It don’t work for everybody else.

“People gotta stay free, people need jobs, people got parents that probably wouldn’t be with it, so don’t ruin your life trying to be like me. That’s my advice.”

[From Daily Mail]

Okay, so I think Wiz is at least being wise by claiming that he won’t be smoking weed right in front of the kid. But if he’s doing it in the other room, the kid’s still going to get more than a whiff of the stuff. I had a friend in high school whose friends were big pot smokers, and she was always so embarrassed whenever we’d come and pick her up because you could smell it wafting out from inside the house while standing on the front porch. At the same time, she really didn’t have a choice in the matter either. So I don’t know. It’s one thing to be an adult and choose to have the drug in your home, but the kid doesn’t really have a say. Is it fair to Wiz and Amber’s child to be so openly exposed to marijuana at a very early age?

I can’t help it, I really love Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa. I think they might be one of my favorite celebrity couples. She’s beautiful and tough, he’s skinny and talented, and now they’re expecting a baby. It’s amazing! Anyway, Amber and Wiz cover the October/November issue of XXL magazine, and I’m including some of the beautiful shots from the pictorial. Note: Bedhead already covered some of this stuff a few weeks ago, but there are more quotes and photos, so that’s why I’m doing this. I know some people get irritated by these kinds of “baby-daddy lovingly cradling his baby-mama’s swollen pregnancy belly” photo shoots, but I like this one. It’s Wiz and Amber… they’re awesome! Anyway, in some new excerpts from the magazine interview, Amber talks about her birth plan and how Wiz isn’t smoking weed in front of her now that she’s pregnant:

He set the bar high on his promises to be both the best performer and the best family man he could be — and, according to Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa is staying true to his word.

Engaged and expecting their first child together, the model mama tells XXL that her fiancé is more than willing to sacrifice for the sake of their soon-to-be tight-knit trio — even when it comes to his infamous herbal habits.

“He would never ever smoke in front of me,” Rose, 28, explains in the magazine’s October/November issue. “I mean, even just living in California, it’s really hard because there’s weed shops everywhere. So even when I’m driving and I go down the wrong block, I get sick.”

But now in her second trimester — and keeping the baby’s sex under wraps — Rose is taking all the triggers to her morning sickness in stride and hopes to learn from her experiences for future pregnancies.

“My first trimester was really hard, like most women. I threw up a lot. I’m still sick now in my second trimester,” she says. “I just feel like I learned a lot just being pregnant this time. For my next baby, I’ll know what not to eat and things to stay away from.”

While she won’t reveal details surrounding her due date, Rose is open about her birth plan; She is anticipating a completely natural delivery. “I’m so ready. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine,” the mom-to-be shares.

Her motivation? Khalifa — and any future tummy troubles of his. “I want those bragging rights! The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’”

[From People Magazine]

Do you think it’s some kind of huge sacrifice to NOT smoke weed in front of your pregnant baby-mama? I guess it is a sacrifice if you’re Wiz, and you love the reefer. Notice that no one is saying “Wiz isn’t smoking weed anymore now that Amber is pregnant.” Just that he’s not smoking in front of her.

As for her morning sickness… poor Amber! Oh, and here’s a photo Amber tweeted over the weekend – she says she’s “21 weeks” along. She’s carrying really beautifully.

Amber Rose and fiancé/baby daddy Wiz Khalifa cover the October issue of XXL magazine (you can see an animated version of the cover here), and as usual, Amber is wearing the bare minimum as far as clothing goes. Actually, that’s an inaccurate statement since the world has seen Amber wearing far less, so perhaps she’s decided to be a more modest type of mother-to-be as she nears her delivery date. Whatever the case, Amber’s bump is on prominent display, and she has already decided that she wants a drug-free birth. My opinion on that? Go for it.

Of course, I say that from the perspective of someone who jumped upon an epidural at the very last moment possible. My doctor was all, “If you want it, you need to do it now. In ten minutes, it will be too late.” So I took it, and it relaxed me so much that I was able to fully enjoy the last phase of delivery, and I really think it sped up the process at that point (because I did it further along), just like my doctor said it would. Anyway, I initially wanted to try for a natural birth, but it wasn’t for judgy reasons like Miranda Kerr, and it just wasn’t for me. Oddly enough, Amber has decided that she only really wants a natural birth for “bragging rights,” and she plans on exercising these rights in the future whenever Wiz complains about being in pain. Is this a joke, or is this an actual thing that some women do?

Amber plan for the birth: “I’m so ready. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights. The next time Wiz has a stomach ache or anything, I’ll say, “I popped out a baby all-natural.’”

Wiz’s response: “The most important thing is knowing that she is there and I have to tend to my babies… I gotta go just as hard taking care of my baby and making sure she’s all right.”

[From XXL]

Wiz has wisely decided not to comment upon Amber’s desire for “bragging rights,” and maybe she’s just teasing him. That could be part of their relationship dynamic, but it seems like an awfully bizarre reason to go for a natural birth. All that pain … just so you can use it against your man? Sounds like trouble.

Off-topic: I’ve never noticed before that Amber’s has an arm tattoo that reads, “The world is a vampire.” Is she a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan or what?

This is all Beyonce’s fault. Last year, Beyonce debuted her (suspicious!) bump at the VMAs, so now all the pregnant girls think that if it’s good enough for Bey, it’s good enough for them. Even though we already knew/suspected Amber Rose was pregnant, she “confirmed” it at the VMAs last night with her fiancé Wiz Khalifa. Amber – like Beyonce last year – is further along than I suspected. Like, she seems WAY into her second trimester, right? But she’s carrying well, and she looks cute and she and Wiz are kind of adorable together. Wiz is… I don’t know, he’s delightfully weird. Here’s the video of Wiz and Amber confirming their news to Sway:

I love her regional accent (Philly, apparently). She’s adorable.

And here are some photos of Nicki Minaj, just because… I don’t even know what to talk about here. This outfit wasn’t as crazy as some of her getups, but the SHAPE of her body is so insane, and that was on display here. Some people say she has butt implants and breast implants. I don’t know. It doesn’t feel like Nicki’s figure is all-natural, but WTF do I know? I was really studying it too.
