Kelly Rowland arrived at this year’s VMAs looking as beautiful and radiant as ever.
The pregnant singer glowed in a sequined, light pink halter gown. The braided crown, along with her soft makeup and droplet earrings make her look beautiful.
Her yoga and pregnancy workout have gone a long way! The former Destiny’s Child member and the love her life, Tim Witherspoon, will be giving birth to a baby boy sometime this fall.

PREGNANT KELLY ROWLAND LOOKING GORGEOUS AT THE MTV VMA AWARD....(SEE PHOTOS)...
NICKI MINAJ'S STUNNING OUTFIT TO THE MTV VMA AWARD...(SEE PHOTOS)...
Nicki Minaj arrived at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards(VMA) in this fine attire and she looks stunning.
Wearing a sequined leopard print, long-sleeved number, the superstar paired her dress with platform nude heels. Fancy, Nicki!
YMCMB’s first lady is scheduled to perform her latest single “Anaconda,” off her upcoming album The Pink Print. Let’s hope there aren’t any frightening moments during this run-through.
As well all know, one of her dancers was bitten by a 6-foot snake - believed to be an anaconda – during rehearsals and it would be a disaster if anything close to that occurred during tonight’s big show.
But hopefully, we have nothing to worry about. In the meantime, the Nickster was looking great on the red carpet:
HIGH MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE ROCK NORTH CARLIFORNIA...(SEE PHOTOS)...
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 has shaken northern California, reports the US Geological Survey.
The USGS said it struck at 03:20 local time (10:20 GMT) four miles (6km) north-west of American Canyon, at a depth of 6.7 miles.
At least 87 people have been injured in the Napa area, three of them seriously.
The site is 51 miles from Sacramento and about 30 miles north-east of San Francisco, where many Twitter users say the earthquake woke them up.
SPECULATIONS ARISE FOR THE BEHEADER OF AMERICAN JOURNALIST JAMES FOLEY....(SEE PHOTOS)...
American and British intelligence officials are eyeing a British-born rapper as the militant who beheaded journalist James Foley.
A senior Western intelligence official told Fox News that 23-year-old London rapper Abdel Majed Abdel Bary is the suspect believed to be Foley's executioner.
U.S. intelligence officials are not commenting publicly on the reports, but a well-placed source told Fox News that Bary's Egyptian-born father was extradited from London to the United States in 2012 for his alleged connection to Usama bin Laden and the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa.Bary traveled to Syria last year to fight with ISIS, the source said.
The Sunday Times and Sunday People identified Bary as a member of a group of at least three British-born ISIS fighters known among former hostages as "The Beatles."
The Sunday Times reported that MI5 and MI6, Britain's two major intelligence agencies, had identified the man who did the brutal deed, though he had not been publicly identified.
A counterterrorism source told Fox News that the investigation was moving forward and slowly eliminating individuals of interest. The source also told Fox News that the FBI had opened a crisis file shortly after Foley was kidnapped in northern Syria in November 2012 that included signals intelligence and interviews with former hostages.
The Sunday Mirror, citing British intelligence sources, identified two other suspects as 20-year-old Abu Hussain al-Britani, originally from Birmingham, and 23-year-old Abu Abduallah al-Britani (no known relation), originally from the county of Hampshire on England's south coast.
DON'T YOU THINK LIL WAYNE AND CHRISTIANA MILIAN ARE DATING?.....(SEE PHOTOS)...
Okay, now we’re starting to think these two are actually a thing. Well, we thought so before but now we’re sure.
Christina Milian has already denied rumors that she’s dating YMCMB label head Lil Wayne after breaking off her engagement to producer Jas Prince, but it really, really looks like they’re together.
The two hip-pop heads were spotted out in Philadelphia for a Drake Vs. Lil Wayne tour stop, and he took time out to take Tina on a romantic stroll through the city.
Along with a few bodyguards who were not too far behind, the two looked happy as can be as Weezy put his arm around Christina, who was smiling ear to ear the whole time.
The two were also photographed holding hands. Check out the photos above and see for yourself but we already made up our minds: They’ve got to be dating.

DO YOU WANT A FLAT STOMACH?
1. Almonds
Almonds contain a good amount of healthy fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Both fats help prevent you from overeating. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has proven that eating almonds suppresses hunger. They also help fight against heart disease.
High in magnesium, almonds are a key component for muscle building, and having more muscle will help you burn more belly fat.
In addition, the high fiber content in almonds will keep you feeling full for a longer time. Because almonds contain few calories, they will not contribute to belly fat. So, always keep roasted almonds handy and enjoy them as a snack or in salads or other dishes.
2. Watermelon
The American Dietetic Association declares watermelon as a perfect food to reduce belly fat. Watermelon contains 91 percent water and hence acts like a natural diuretic. It will help you feel full longer and aid in the reduction of water in the body.
This juicy fruit is also rich in vitamins B1, B6 and C, as well as potassium and magnesium. It contains very little calories and is also cholesterol-free.
An interesting study done at the University of Kentucky revealed that drinking two glasses of watermelon juice every day for eight weeks reduces body weight (especially the fat around the belly) without altering muscle mass. Regular consumption of watermelon also lowers the risks associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and heart disease.
3. Beans
Regular consumption of different types of beans helps reduce body fat, develop muscles and improve the digestion process. Beans also help you feel full for a longer time, thus keeping you from overeating.
This happens as beans are an excellent source of soluble fiber. This fiber especially targets belly fat, helping to break it down so the fat can be eliminated from the body. Plus, the protein in beans provides energy to your body. You can easily include beans in your daily meals by adding them to salads, soups or side dishes.
4. Celery
To get a flat tummy, fill your plate with green leafy vegetables like celery. Celery is extremely low in calories, full of fiber, and contains calcium and vitamin C that aid in weight loss.
You can drink half a glass of celery juice before eating your lunch or dinner to help cleanse your system. You can also add celery to salad or soup. An additional benefit of celery is that it contains apigenin, a natural compound that reduces the risk of ovarian cancer in women.
5. Cucumbers
Cucumbers are an extremely refreshing and low-calorie food. 100 grams of cucumber contains approximately 96 percent water and only about 45 calories. They are packed with minerals, dietary fibers and vitamins.
Eating a plate of cucumber salad daily is an effective and healthy way to cleanse your body of harmful toxins released by the digestive system and lose weight. As an added benefit, eating cucumbers daily can give you radiant, glowing skin because they are rich in vitamins B and C.
6. Tomatoes
One large tomato has just 33 calories. It contains a compound known as 9-oxo-ODA that helps reduce lipids in the blood, which in turn helps control belly fat. This compound also fights chronic diseases associated with obesity.
Plus, the powerful antioxidant lycopene in tomatoes offers plenty of additional health benefits like reducing wrinkles, fighting cancer and reducing cholesterol levels. Tomatoes are an excellent source of nutrients like iron and potassium and are rich in vitamins A and C. So, to enjoy a healthy body, include tomatoes (in both raw and cooked form) in your daily diet.
7. Avocado
An important amino acid known as lecithin in avocado helps in managing body weight. Also a source of good fats—monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, avocado helps burn belly fat easily.
Its rich fiber content also helps keep hunger at bay and keep you from overeating. Plus, avocado has anti-aging, antifungal and antibacterial properties that provide many beauty and health benefits.
8. Apples
Apples are high in dietary fiber, flavonoids, phytosterol and beta-carotene, which make your belly feel full and help you avoid overeating. According to a Brazilian study, women who ate three or more apples a day lost more weight compared with those who did not.
The natural compound in apples known as pectin aids in weight loss. Fruits rich in pectin usually require more chewing and when the pectin dissolves in the stomach, it forms a gel-like substance that traps dietary cholesterol and fat. In addition, pectin also reduces the risk of colon cancer, and the antioxidants and vitamin C in apples will help keep your skin wrinkle-free.
9. Pineapple
This tropical fruit contains the enzyme bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory properties. This enzyme metabolizes protein that contributes to a flatter tummy.
A study done at the University of Maryland revealed that bromelain’s antibacterial properties also help combat the bacteria that causes diarrhea and is also very effective in healing bowel disorders. Relief from stomach conditions can result in less abdominal bloating and a slimmer waistline.
Plus, pineapple contains vitamins B-6 and C, manganese, thiamine, copper, and fiber that provide a number of health benefits.
NOTE:
With these superfoods, you can fight that belly fat and enjoy a slimmer waistline. However, these foods will only play a major role in attaining a better figure when coupled with regular exercise.
