Move over Jessica Simpson, you're not the only one getting a pink pregnancy party. Dancing With The Stars champ J.R. Martinez is also expecting a little girl this season and he and girlfriend Diana Gonzalez-Jones celebrated with a lavish baby shower of their own.

All My Children producer Julie Carruthers hosted the event, which brought out 40 of J.R.'s closest friends. Gonzalez-Jones was reportedly "glowing" as she unwrapped new strollers, bassinets, and onesie outfits.

"With all of the wonderful gifts we received at the baby shower, my man cave dreams are out the window," Martinez jokingly said after it was all over.

J.R. and Diana's little one is expected to make her big debut this May. And it sounds like papa is eager to teach her some of his trademark moves.

"We are really excited to see her wear all of the clothes she received," he added. "Especially the dance dress that I can picture myself teaching her the Samba in."

Do you know anyone who’s due this spring? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Rumors of Enrique Iglesias' supposed bankruptcy are not making him nervous. They are making him laugh. His publicist, Joe Bonilla, also brushed off the rumors, calling the situation "otro chisme mal contado."

In a message from Enrique sent via his publicist, Iglesias jokes,

"Esteis atentos que muy pronto les pasaré mi línea de 800-ayuda, para que me ayuden a salir de bancarrota."

The singer is completely dismissing the vicious rumors surrounding his economic crisis. In fact, he just wrapped up a tour which generated millions of dollars in profits, so he can't be that far in the hole.

Univision's show El Gordo Y La Flaca perpetuated some of the rumors concerning Iglesias' supposed bankruptcy, stating that Enrique had gotten himself into this situation from buying a Miami mansion with girlfriend Anna Kournikova. The mansion presumably cost them 15 million dollars in renovation costs.

According to Billboard magazine, Iglesias was the top grossing Latin artist in 2011, generating over 7 million dollars for his 'Euphoria' World Tour in the United States alone. Not too shabby, I would say. He even made a killing at the two shows he held at New York's Madison Square Garden, which brought in 1.7 million dollars for him there alone.

Do you think Enrique Iglesias is headed for bankruptcy?

We mentioned before how Anahí was hoping to cross over to the American market. And now she may have found the perfect collaborator to help her do it. According to Latin Gossip, the former RBD-er is in the process of recording a duet with Flo Rida!

Flo is riding high at the moment and has been known to make some great musical partnerships. His “Jump” single helped get Nelly Furtado back in the public eye and “Club Can’t Handle Me” pushed DJ David Guetta even more into the spotlight.

So what could he be cooking up with Anahí? She’s been known to dabble quite a bit in the pop genre, but we'd be excited to see her try something with an edge. And Flo Rida can definitely bring that out of her.

No word yet on when the duet will actually be released. Hopefully they can put something together within the next month or so and we can have a hot club anthem for summer 2012!

Would you be excited to hear Anahí and Flo's duet? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Could divorce be in the cards for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon? Rumor has it that Mariah is so upset about Nick's ill health that she has threatened to leave him if he doesn't put work on the back burner and focus on his recovery.

Nick has agreed to forgo his CBS Radio morning show, but he has not conceded to quitting America's Got Talent or his syndicated radio show Cannon's Countdown. Nick has been hospitalized several times this year because of his lupus nephritis, which attacks the kidneys.

An insider dished on the Nick and Mariah situation,

"He thinks Mariah is overreacting and blowing everything out of proportion. Besides that, Nick is insecure about living in Mariah's shadow, and if he quit work altogether he feels like he'd have no identity of his own. He hates being known as Mr. Mariah Carey. Nick's work is his passion, but he doesn't want to lose his wife and kids- or his life!"

Well that's understandable. Give him a break, Mariah! Be the supporting wife you vowed to be. The man has enough stress as it is, I'm sure.

Hollywood is never short of celebrity feuds and scandals. The latest feud comes courtesy of a very unlikely pair, Mad Men actor Jon Hamm and reality star Kim Kardashian. The controversy all began when Hamm was interviewed by Elle UK magazine and was quoted as saying:

"Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f***ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly."

The actor definitely makes a valid point, if we look around it seems the dumber the personality the more successful they are. Yet, Ms. Kim K did not take lightly to these comments. She immediately fired back on her Twitter account,

"We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs and creates, 'stupid', is in my opinion careless."

Kim Kardashian may not be a Harvard graduate but her ability to create a multi-million dollar empire out of thin air is far from dumb. The most interesting thing about this feud is that Hamm didn't realize that the so-called "feud" even existed. The actor was recently made aware of Kim's Twitter comments at a Mad Men Q & A session and told Access Hollywood that the matter had been blown out of proportion.

Hamm went on to say,

"It's surprising to me that this has become remotely a story... My quote was simply about that version of television and that version of American culture being celebrated." "The quote was obviously taken out of context, but I said what I said. I just wish it had been reported correctly."

Instead of just taking this for what it is, a misreported comment, many are noting that nowhere in there did Jon actually apologize to Kim. Oh well, you can't win em' all Kim!

I doubt Jon actually meant to offend Kim and it's hard to imagine this feud going any further than this (unless Paris Hilton decides to Tweet something as well).

2012 is definitely the year of the baby! The beautiful Charlize Theron was just visited by the stork and is now the proud mommy of a bouncing baby boy named Jackson.

In a world where the paparazzi live off of this type of news, it's amazing that the actress was able to keep her little bundle of joy secret for so long. In fact, the very day the news broke out, Theron was spotted at The Hollywood Reporter's 25 Most Powerful Stylists luncheon in West Hollywood.

The spokesperson for the Oscar-Winning actress says,

"Charlize Theron has adopted a child. She is the proud mom of a healthy baby boy named Jackson."

However, no other details have been released including where the child is from or exactly when she adopted little Jackson, many are estimating the adoption took place sometime early 2012. This is the actress' first child and although she split from Stuart Townsend in 2010, being a single mom isn't phasing her.

She told W magazine in 2008,

"I always knew that I didn't want to get married. I've always known that I'd be a mom from the time I was a little girl."

You go girl! Beautiful and independent, is there anything she can't do? While we won't be able to catch a glimpse of Jackson Theron anytime soon, we can definitely see Charlize in theaters with the upcoming release of Snow White & The Huntsman.

It seems like Russell Brand took a page right out of the Chris Brown playbook. As you may recall, Chris recently got in some legal trouble for snatching a fan's camera. Now Russell may be in the same boat, as he's being accused of hurling a paparazzo's iPhone through an office window in New Orleans.

Brand's antics cost the window owner hundreds of dollars worth of damage and he did not stick around to foot the bill. So the New Orleans police got involved and now they've issued a warrant for Russell's arrest.

Keep in mind that Brand is only wanted on a misdemeanor charge. But, judging from his Twitter account, the Arthur star doesn't feel any remorse for his actions.

"Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iPhone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory," he jokingly posted.

What type of consequences should Russell face for his actions? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

We don't know what's creepier, having you house broken into or having your house broken into without anything getting stolen. The latter is what happened to Zoe Saldana, which means some stranger was prowling through her pad just for cheap thrills.

It sounds to us like this wasn't just a run-of-the-mill burglar, but rather a deranged fan. Either way, Zoe is on top of the case. According to TMZ, she immediately contacted the LAPD and is cooperating with them fully in the investigation.

The part-Puerto Rican star has definite reason for concern. Now that she's broken up with her fiancée, Saldana is most likely living solo, which may not be the safest bet for an A-list actress.

Thankfully she's recently been linked to Bradley Cooper, who (judging by his A-Team action scenes) knows how to kick a little butt. Perhaps it's time to speed up their relationship and begin the cohabitation stage.

Want to look like Kim Kardashian? Give Dr. Victor Ramirez a call and he can make it happen. Or at least that's what his billboard claims. The problem is, this Mexican plastic surgeon is using Kim as his poster child without her permission.

TMZ posted Ramirez' ad on their site and there is no doubt that Kardashian's face is plastered all over it. Apparently Kim has been made aware of the situation and she is NOT happy about it.

The reality diva is threatening to sue if Ramirez doesn't remove the billboards immediately. But that may be easier said than done. Dr. Victor's based out of Mexicali and their advertising rules differ quite a bit from what we're used to in America.

Nevertheless, we doubt many customers will buy into Ramirez' campaign. With his suspiciously low prices and questionable qualifications, his handiwork may get you resembling someone else.

Who knew the members of Los Tigres Del Norte would be stirring up controversy way into their 50's? Proving that you're never too old to have a song banned, Los Tigres have been ousted from Mexico's Chihuahua region over their signature track "La Reina del Sur."

"La Reina" first gained attention in the early 2000's, when it became a platinum-selling hit for the band. Its lyrics soon took on a life of their own and even inspired a hit novela of the same name. And that's undoubtedly where the controversy lies.

La Reina the series featured narco-violence and a powerful cartel leader played by Kate del Castillo. Chihuahua (which has been ravaged by the drug trade) feels the song is not appropriate for their region and have asked Los Tigres to stop performing it live.

The band members responded to the news with a bit of shock, telling fans that they will respect the government's wishes.

"With the news that the government from Chihuahua is vetoing us for having performed 'La Reina Del Sur' We want to make it clear that we had no knowledge about such prohibition until today," Los Tigres said in a statement. "That is why this veto comes as a surprise to us."

Do you think Chihuahua was right to ban the song? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
