Kelly Clarkson has finally popped. The singing sensation gave birth to a baby girl this past Thursday, her first child with husband Brandon Blackstock.
"Our baby girl River Rose Blackstock arrived on June 12th! Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes! Brandon and I are on cloud 9!! :)," she Tweeted.
This is the first baby for the 32-year-old Kelly, who shared the news this morning. Brandon has two kids, Savannah and Seth, from his first marriage.
Clarkson has been very candid about her pregnancy, revealing she was having a baby girl before giving birth and talking openly about her weight.
"Everybody calls me fat all the time, so I can't wait to have a reason, instead of everybody just being a jerk," Kelly joked after announcing her pregnancy.
As for shedding the baby weight starting this week?
"I've never been Gisele Bundchen, so ain't nobody expectin' that! I like to set [low] standards so people don't expect a lot," the star cracked.
Then there was this tweet earlier this month: "Okay my baby girl needs to come on out ASAP. Mama is tired, swollen and miserable hahaha!"
American Idol judge and all-around snarkmaster Simon Cowell was softened a bit by the birth of his son Eric Philip on February 14. What a Valentine for Simon and girlfriend Lauren Silverman.

Your favorite team just scored a touchdown. Something really cool happened in a movie. You're surrounded by a bunch of rowdy folks in Times Square.
And all you wanna do is celebrate, to bond with your fellow man in the most basic and simple of ways: a high-five.
But sometimes this action isn't as simple as it sounds. One person is readying a fist bump, perhaps. Or your hopeful high-fiving cohort is turning his or her back at the last second.
It can be embarrassing. It can be heart-wrenching. But, as the following gallery should prove, it can also happen to anyone.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are back together once again, a new rumor alleges, and the unlikely catalyst was the former's recent racism controversy.
According to a source close to Gomez, Justin reached out to her after he came under fire for his two shocking n-word videos, seeking emotional support.
The insider claims Bieber told his ex that he "needed her by his side" and his heartfelt words sent her flying to Canada on a private jet last weekend.
"Justin reached out to Selena when he was getting tons of backlash for his controversial race joke. He told Selena that he really missed her," the source says.
The coup de grace came when he said that Selena Gomez "was the ONLY one who truly understood him and that he needed her by his side."
"He said that his father's birthday celebration wouldn't be the same without Selena because she's part of the family," the source also reveals.
"He also told her she was his soulmate and that he was lost without her."
Swoon alert. To the surprise of no one, these were deep words "that Selena had longed to hear, even though she's basically heard them before."
"Yep, they are crazy about each other … once again."
Apparently, this convinced Selena to fly to Canada for the low key birthday celebration for his father, Jeremy Bieber, on the weekend of June 7-8.
Justin Bieber loves him some Selena Gomez. Just see these pics from happier times and you'll know it.
Selena flew on up to Canada to spend the weekend at a private cottage with Justin, his dad, his siblings and friends. So are they back together officially?
That remains to be seen, but Justin posted a photo of her and said their "love is unconditional" before taking it down this week, so there's that.
Also, a family friend of Jeremy's girlfriend, Victoria Nosko, tweeted a thank you message to Selena and others who attended the birthday bash.
Moments later, she deleted that tweet and posted literally the same message sans Selena's name, as if trying to cover up the fact that she was there.
Nice try. Seems like these two have rekindled the flame again but are keeping it quiet. Wonder if she's the one who took today's Bieber bed selfie.
You tell us: Should Justin and Selena be together?
Of course, most of the folks who currently populate Westeros didn't get their start in the Seven Kingdoms.
For the sake of believability, producers made an effort to avoid mega-famous A-listers when casting GoT but whether you realize it or not, you've seen some of your favorite sers, maesters and Wildlings in previous projects:
These days, Peter Dinklage is best known as fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister.
Some GoT actors' previous roles are sure to shock you (Grand Maester Pycelle was in Star Wars?!), while others are common knowledge amongst hardcore fans (The two actresses who appeared in Harry Potter and GoT should both be dubbed Queen of the Fantasy Nerds).
So jump into the gallery above to find out why Tywin Lannister looks so damn familiar. You'll be armed with all the information you'll need to impress/annoy your friends during this Sunday's season finale.
And, of course, if you need to catch up in time for the conclusion of season four, you can always watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic. Hopefully, it'll help you forget about the sight of Ned Stark in a dress.

If you're going out to the club and you can't dance, no worries! There's always grinding, a "dance move" where you basically dry hump anyone in your general vicinity.
Sometimes graphically and/or in large groups. It's versatile like that.
Grinding is a move so egregious that schools across the country have attempted to eradicate it threatening students with suspension if they partake in it feverishly.
We're all for freedom of expression ... but we can sort of see why:
You're grinding on the dance floor and suddenly everyone else is grinding on you. It's like a big grinding orgy in the bar.
Hormonal teens are far from alone in their desire to rub crotches.
From Miley Cyrus to Justin Bieber to Nicki Minaj and even Nicole Kidman (seriously), even celebrities get in on the grinding action. And usually gross us out in the process.
Get ready to gag, ladies and gossipers alike, at the 13 grinding GIFs above, many of which you'll likely wish you could unsee but clearly cannot. Especially #5. WOW.
Kids these days. They have no idea what dancing was like in the '90s ...
Need some excitement in your life? Slots. Cards. Shows. Food. And all the things that happen in Vegas that stay in Vegas. Check out great deals on hotels.
Everywhere we turn these days, we're bombarded with ads for how to get a guy or girl to like us. Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is the ultimate task.
After all, we all want to end up living out our very own fairy tale like Kim Kardashian and Kanye, right? Or like Prince William and Kate Middleton?
Yeah, let's go with that one, since it was actually a fairy tale and not just an excessive display of, well, everything. But enough about Kimye. Anyway:
We dream of walking on the beach with somebody who loves us, or curling up like Blake Lively to Ryan Gosling to talk about whatever it is those two talk about.
But with relationships, of course, come all sorts of messy restrictions.
You're not just thinking about yourself! You have to take someone else's feelings into consideration before you decide whether to have frozen pizza or takeout!
As it turns out, there are actually quite a few things better than having a significant other in your life, at least part of the time. Here are nine of them:
You know that kid on awards night who picks up the certificate in every possible category there? Math, science, art, underwater basket weaving?
Yeah, that kid's totally overrated. (Or a suck up.) That same thing totally happens in Hollywood with overrated movies sweeping awards season year after year.
Obviously, sometimes movies are legitimately good and thus become all that anyone will talk about. This is not a rare or unreasonable phenomenon.
Still, you just want to scream and vow never to see the film for as long as you live, even if it means you don't get the "I'll never let go, Jack!" inside joke.
Other movies, however, are legitimately bad and yet the critics still fawn over them. We're not $ure how that happen$ either. (coughAVATARcough)
So which recent films fit the overhyped bill? Here are 11 totally overrated movies from the last 15 years. Agree? Disagree? Tell us in the comments.
Martin Scorcese's The Departed featured an all-star ensemble cast, but it felt a little too much like a clunky wannabe of Japanese film Infernal Affairs.

Kim Kardashian attended Bonnaroo on Friday night in support of husband Kanye West.
But the reality star may have been most of a distraction to the 100,000 people in attendance at this Tennessee event than anything else, causing them to forget any music was even being played after they saw her see-through shirt.
"Oh hey 100,000 people! #Bonnaroo," Kim wrote as an Instagram caption to this image, to which we can only reply:

We hate to be the ones to break it to you, but most readers will never wake up alongside Justin Bieber.
Still, that doesn't mean you can't see what the singer looks like in the morning, thanks to a new Instagram photo just posted by the superstar.
"I got that sleep I was looking for," Bieber Tweeted along with the following shot, perhaps making a subtle reference to the DUI plea bargain he has reportedly reached.
It means Bieber will not serve any jail time or be placed on probation.
Those are both worthy reasons to sleep well in our minds.
Elsewhere on Instagram this week, Justin posted an intimate picture of himself and Selena Gomez, writing that her love for her was "unconditional."
He then deleted the image, causing mass confusion among his fan base.
The guy can be an enigma, but a hot enigma! Here are many more Instagram photos of the young man:
Jason Biggs may have starred opposite Tara Reid in American Pie, but let's just say the actor wouldn't stick his You Know What Into her You Know Where these days.
Appearing on Joan Rivers' Internet show this week, Biggs was asked to choose between Reid and Lindsay Lohan.
Which star would he prefer to make into his warm, gooey chunk of american pie?

The last we saw Kit Harington's Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, he was preparing to head off into the lawless North, without even so much as his sword to protect him.
Given how fiercely the Wildlings fought during the battle at the Wall (they had freakin' giants), it's reasonable to assume that Jon might meet his end in Sunday's season finale.
But in a recent interview with Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers, Harington revealed that (Spoiler Alert!) he's already filming season 5...which of course leads us to the reasonable conclusion that Jon Snow won't end up in an icy grave this week.
"I go off and start filming season 5 in late July," Harington tells Travers. "And you'll have to see where it all ends up."
C'mon, Kit! You can't just assume everyone read the books. Those things are the size of cinder blocks! Jeez...you know nothing, Jon Snow.
Speaking of Ygritte's famous catchphrase, in the video above, Kit nearly gets misty-eyed while reflecting that he'll never again hear those words from actress Rose Leslie.
Kit has admitted to spreading false spoilers in the past, so it's possible he's just stringing fans along, but he promises the season 4 finale will be worth watching either way.
Addressing the fact that GoT finales are usually devoted to tying up loose ends, Harington offers a majorly enticing teaser for Sunday's episode:
"A bit of a departure from the usual," he says. "It's another big one, as big as nine. Just as important storyline-wise and impact-wise. Usually we wrap up in ten after the big thing in nine. This one doesn't wrap up so much. It just goes all-out for impact again."
We can't wait! Don't be left out of the loop! If you've fallen behind this season, watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to catch up in time for the finale.
