After announcing another upcoming hiatus from music, reports have finally surface of Ms. Lauryn Hill having her sixth child. We would like to congratulate the happy mother on the new addition to her growing family.

It’s a boy for Lauryn Hill!  The singer welcomed her sixth child on Saturday night, July 23rd, a source confirms to Blackcelebkids.com exclusively.

“Mother and baby are fine,” says the source, who adds that Hill and family “had a little scare because the baby came out the womb with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. All is well now and everyone is happy.”


Amy Winehouse’s father addressed the love and support from fans outside of her London home.

“I know a lot of you, we’ve been together for five or six years and I know you’ve got a job to do. I’m glad you’re all here anyway,” he said, speaking to assembled reporters and photographers. “And as to you people in the street, I can’t tell you what this means to us. It really is making this a lot easier. We’re devastated and I am speechless. Amy was about one thing and that was love. He whole life was devoted to her family and friends and to you guys as well,” he said. (via Hollywood Reporter)
