Kourtney Kardashian Expecting Again?

Someone from the Kardashian family is expecting a child, and it’s not Kim. That’s right guys, Kourtney Kardashian is back at it again. Kourtney made the announcement to UsWeekly and E! News. Kourtney is nine weeks into her pregnancy, and she along with Scott will be welcoming a new boy/girl next year. Kourtney and Scott’s son Mason is just two years old and in the near future he will become a big brother. The Kardashians have not been shy of the spotlight as of late. Recently, Kris Humphries filed an annulment of the lack of marriage he had with Kim. Also we had Rob Kardashian make it to the finals of Dancing With The Stars but he ultimately lost. There are now rumors of Kris Jenner being featured on the dancing show next season. This family brings a ton of media buzz no matter where they are or what they’re doing. Who knows how long this media craze can continue, but I’d like to congratulate Kourtney and Scott on their exciting news.

NBA Players and Owners Reach Agreement

We have some good news here to report at Blended Entertainment. As of right now, the NBA is back! After a marathon night of negotiations tallying over 15 hours ending late last night, the two sides reached a verbal tentative agreement to end the lockout and start the season by Christmas Day. For the season to officially begin, a handful of players must end their pending lawsuits against the NBA, go through some other litigation procedures, and reform a new player’s union. If all of this goes through, the players and owners must then ratify the agreement with a majority vote from both sides. Sources including sportswriters, Chris Broussard and David Aldridge have confirmed that the proposed 66 game schedule should not be in jeopardy and that the two sides will vote in favor of the new agreement. Stay tuned to Blended Entertainment for more news regarding this ongoing process.

Blended Entertainment “I’m Back”

Yes it’s true. I failed to blog not only about, but during my vacation to Florida. I enjoyed myself but now it’s back to work. We last left off with the All Star Weekend interview, so instead of covering some of what has happened in depth, we’ll go down through a quick rundown of some of the things that have happened.

  • The NFL is still in lockout mode which is a shame.
  • The NBA has since followed suit into lockout mode which is leaning towards being close to if not a season ending lockout.
  • Wladimir Klitschko defeated “trash talker” David Haye in a lopsided unanimous decision.
  • Cars 2, sequel to 2006’s hit movie Cars opened up to over $66 million in its’ opening weekend.
  • Transformers 3 just wrapped up its’ opening weekend bringing in over $400 million worldwide.
  • Maria Shriver officially filed the necessary divorce papers. I wonder when will see Arnold again.
  •  Novak Djokovic and Petra Kvitova won the Wimbledon Grand Slam this year, with Novak defeating Nadal and Kvitova defeating Maria Sharapova
  • Last but not least, Charlie Sheen will be the next guy to be roasted this September on Comedy Central. This will be interesting to see. Two and a Half Men, with Ashton Kutcher commences an hour earlier on that same night.

This is not everything  but just a tip of the iceberg of what happened while I was away on vacation.
