Jordin Sparks has been keeping a big secret under wraps — in her life and in her belly. On Nov. 14, she revealed that she's married AND pregnant. The singer, 27, told People that she and 25-year-old model Dana Isaiah secretly got married in July while vacationing in Hawaii. A month later, they found out they were expecting. "We're really proud to be married to each other and to be celebrating this," she told People of their first child. "This is the best part so far because I have [Isaiah] and I have this little one and I have a new family," she added. "I'm still doing music, I'm still doing what I love. I'm the most content I've ever been in my life."

Beard controversy
Prince Harry technically did nothing wrong, but he still rankled a ranking member of the British military because of his… wait for it… facial hair. Harry was accused of breaking military rules when he donned a military uniform and wore a beard at the Cenotaph in London for the Remembrance Sunday service on Nov. 12, even though he's no longer an active member of the armed forces. British Army rules do not allow beards, except in a few rare circumstances. Harry left the Army in 2015. "Prince Harry is letting us all down," a member of the Army told MailOnline. "There's no place for beards in the Queen's cavalry. He should have shaved it off for such an important day." A military spokesman said Prince Harry does not have to comply with regulations since he's not serving anymore.

Messy split
Jennifer Hudson and her longtime boyfriend, former professional wrestler David Otunga, have split after 10 years together, and it's not pretty. She's alleged abuse, which he denies. Jennifer, who shares 8-year-old David Daniel Otunga Jr. with her now ex, was granted a restraining order. Her rep said the protective order is "in the best interest of their son." In her petition, she said David has exhibited "aggressive, threatening and harassing behavior toward me," adding that she's been "living in fear." He claims that her fears are all made up and only done to try to gain a custody advantage (David has been the primary caretaker of their son while Jennifer tours for her career.) David's lawyer refuted Jen's claims. "Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son, and it is unfortunate, especially in today's climate, that she would feel the need to make these false allegations against him," the statement said. "Mr. Otunga looks forward to his day in court and in being awarded the residential care of the parties' only child."
Drug arrest
Rose McGowan was arrested on Nov. 14 after turning herself in to Virginia authorities on a drug charge. After she was placed in handcuffs and put through processing, Rose was released on a $5,000 bond. Late last month, a warrant was issued for Rose for felony possession of a controlled substance, which stemmed from an incident that occurred in January. Authorities claim that she unintentionally left her wallet behind at Washington Dulles International Airport on Jan. 20 after a flight. After nearly two weeks of it going unclaimed, authorities got a search warrant for the property. The items tested positive for cocaine.
She's having a girl
Just call it a slip of the tongue! Kim Kardashian West usually holds secrets close to the vest, but she accidentally let her baby's gender slip during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on Nov. 15 — she and husband Kanye West will be welcoming a girl via surrogate this winter. The queen of reality TV was talking to Ellen about her recent baby shower when she said, "People brought toys and gifts. [North] was opening them all up the next day and she said, 'Mom, Baby Sister's not here. I think I need all of her toys in my room. I'll play with them and just make sure they're okay for Baby Sister.'" Ellen said, "She's a toy tester… and you just told us it's a girl!" Kim said that she and Kanye haven't decided on a name yet. As if that wasn't exciting enough, a few days after the reveal, Kim made $10 million in one day with the launch of her KKW fragrances. All in a week's work for the mother and mogul…
Baby shower blues
While Kim Kardashian West had a rather stellar week, sister Kylie Jenner couldn't say the same. The young Jenner was reportedly unimpressed and disappointed by her "low key" baby shower, feeling that Kim's baby shower a few days before stole her thunder. Kylie had a pajama party to celebrate her little one (she's reportedly due later this winter), whereas Kim's was over-the-top. "Firstly, Kylie had to do hers as part of the TV show — Kylie had her own ideas, she wanted to do a very young, hip and L.A.-type baby shower — in a cool club with all of her friends there, and the opposite of Kim and Khloe's plans," a source told Bang (Khloe Kardashian is also reportedly pregnant). "But she had do it on a certain date for TV scheduling purposes so they can show the episode before the baby is born — but after Kim." Kylie's baby daddy, rapper Travis Scott, wasn't there. On Nov. 16, People mag quoted a source who said Kylie was "self-conscious" about her changing body due to her pregnancy. "She's always been insecure that she's not as curvy or pretty as her sisters," the source said. Oh yeah, and James Corden called her "the worst" on national TV, although we think he was joking… We think.
Sexiest Man Alive
Blake Shelton is the epitome of sexy, according to People magazine, which named the country superstar its "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2017. The title has gone to some of Hollywood's biggest names over the years. "Y'all must be running out of people," he told the mag upon hearing the news. "Like, wow, we're down to somebody who is somewhat symmetrical." It was rumored for days that Blake was going to land the honor. The "The Voice" coach said he was really looking forward to rubbing it in his buddy and co-star Adam Levine's face. "I can't wait to shove this up Adam's a–," he said (Adam was People's SMA in 2013). "As proud as I am and honored that you guys asked me, that's really the only thing I care about." While some were in agreement — cough, cough, Gwen Stefani — others were not. "Blake Shelton might be the sexiest guy in a San Fernando Valley country club-turned-strip mall," one Twitter user wrote, while others said he was "inappropriate" and "immature." Blake, though, seemed to relish the title and started tweeting the hashtag #donthatemebecauseimbeautiful.
Baby on the way
Miranda Kerr and her husband, Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, are expecting a baby. It will be the first child for the couple, but it will be her second (she shares 6-year-old son Flynn with ex-husband Orlando Bloom). The model's rep confirmed the news on Nov. 15. "Miranda, Evan and Flynn are looking forward to welcoming the newest member of their family," the spokeswoman said. The couple married in May. Congrats!
Engaged
Keegan-Michael Key is off the market. The comedian and actor is engaged to director and producer Elisa Pugliese. On Nov. 14, he tweeted a photo of himself and his fiance. "She shows me every day that each one of us has the ability to help make the world a better place. I'm the luckiest man ever. She said yes!" he wrote. The couple has kept mum about their romance, but they've stepped out together at several high-profile events this year, including the Emmys and the Tony Awards. The comedian also finalized his divorce from his first wife this week. Coincidence?
Oh, baby!
Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne are parents again. A source told People magazine on Nov. 16 that the couple has welcomed their second child. The gender and name of the baby aren't known yet. A rep for the duo had no comment. The couple is quite private about their personal life, so the secrecy isn't all that surprising. Bobby and Rose also share 21-month-old son Rocco Robin, whom they welcomed in February 2016.
Assault claims and denial
A 31-year-old police report published on Nov. 16 claimed Sylvester Stallone sexually assaulted a teen in 1986. He vehemently denied the incident. The Daily Mail published the report that was made three decades ago. In it, the girl, who was 16 at the time, alleged Sly and his bodyguard made her perform sex acts on them in a hotel room in Las Vegas. She said Sly and the bodyguard threatened her not to tell anyone. A spokesperson for the actor said, "This is a ridiculous, categorically false story. No one was ever aware of this story until it was published today, including Mr. Stallone. At no time was Mr. Stallone ever contacted by authorities or anyone else regarding this matter."
