Pregnant Kate Middleton Headed To London
A heavily pregnant Kate Middleton is reportedly en route to London from her parents’ Bucklebury home with Prince William. It remains unclear if Middleton is in labor and is headed to St. Mary’s Hospital, or if she is headed to Kensington Palace to await the baby’s arrival there. The baby is due any day now.
A royal rep refused to confirm Middleton has left Bucklebury. "We wouldn't comment on the exact whereabouts of the Duke and Duchess – we wouldn't normally do so in their private time,” the rep said Friday.
Last week, the Duchess of Cambridge made a secret visit to St. Mary’s for a checkup on the baby’s progress. She will give birth at the facility’s Lindo Wing, where Princess Diana delivered Prince William and Prince Harry.
St. Mary’s has been prepared for Middleton’s arrival since July 1. Parking outside the Lindo Wing has been suspended for the entire month and dozens of ladders for photographers have already been stationed outside the building.

Strong Enough?: Cher Asks for Extra Body Armor in South Russia
(Press Release)—Cher, who recently performed at the opening of a new stadium for a football club in Russia’s restive south, asked for two extra bulletproof vests due to security concerns, a club official said in a Russian TV interview broadcast Thursday.
Local football club Anzhi Makhachkala’s board chairman Konstantin Remchukov said that the star's fears had been prompted by US news coverage of the Russian republic of Dagestan, where the authorities are fighting an Islamist-led insurgency.
“Cher was supposed to be coming for the Anzhi-Arena opening,” Remchukov told the Rossiya 2 TV network. “I know her and her lawyer personally. A few days before, I got a load of sms messages – ‘what’s going on there?’”
“CNN was showing news about a string of terror attacks in the region,” Remchukov explained.
“They asked ‘Could we have a couple of extra bulletproof vests? Are there metal detectors for the fans entering the stadium? Has this event been heavily promoted?’” Remchukov said, adding that they were worried that a well-attended event could become a prime target for terrorist attacks.
After reassuring them, Remchukov said he got a phone call from the club’s owner, fertilizer tycoon Suleiman Kerimov, asking him to accompany Cher from the airport for the June 1 event.
Anzhi Makhachkala won third place in the Russian league last season, but last year football’s governing body UEFA banned teams from playing in the North Caucasus, including in Dagestan, citing security concerns.
Cher, whose father’s family has roots in Armenia, south of the Caucasus mountain range, rose to fame in the 1960s as part of popular music duo Sonny and Cher, her official site says.
With over 40 years in show-business, the singer and actress has an avidly loyal fan base across the globe, and has also been dubbed a “gay icon” by US media.

Cory Monteith Cremated In Vancouver
Cory Monteith’s family and girlfriend Lea Michele paid their final respects to the actor on Tuesday in a private viewing at a hospital in Vancouver. After the viewing, Monteith’s body was cremated.
TMZ reports Monteith’s mom Ann and brother Shaun were present, but his estranged dad Joe was not because he didn’t receive an invitation. Joe told TMZ he is “totally devastated” that he did not have a chance to say a final goodbye to his son.
"I always loved both my sons and am going to miss Cory very, very much," he said. "I'm saddened at the fact that I couldn't have been there to see my son before he was cremated."
On Tuesday, Canadian authorities announced Monteith died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol. "At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident," BC Coroners Service said in a statement.
The Glee actor, who was always open about his long battle with addiction, was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room on Saturday morning. He was 31-years-old.
