Now here's some scary news: Terry Richardson is going to be a dad.
The controversial photographer has just confirmed that he will be expecting twins in the spring with his 32-year-old former assistant-turned-girlfriend, Alexandra Bolotow.
The 50-year-old made the confirmation by posting a shot of New York Post's Page Six story on his Instagram account.
Along with the snap, the creepytastic shutterbug wrote, Babies' first Page Six shout out! We weren't planning to make this news quite so public quite so soon, because we are very cautious after going through some very difficult and heartbreaking losses, and always afraid of jinxing it, but since the cat is out of the bag... Skinny and I are very excited to let you guys know that we are expecting TWINS in the spring!!! This has been a difficult journey and we are so thankful to be surrounded by so much love and support from our friends and family, and some incredibly smart doctors! I'm sure the kids will be excited to use this as a Throwback Thursday one of these days!!!"
Page Six is reporting that Bolotow and Richardson have known each other for 10 years. She also appeared in 90 explicit photos in his 2005 book, “Kibosh.†The site claims that the duo met back when she was still an NYU student. She then became his intern and eventually became his full-time assistant. Too sweet.
Bolotow also came to Richardson's defense in 2014 when he came under a media firestorm for several allegations of sexual misconduct.
“I think part of being a strong woman is owning the decisions that you’ve made in your life,†Bolotow said in New York magazine's cover story on the controversy. “Trying to put the onus onto someone else for your own decisions is really cowardly and kind of dishonest.â€
Given his womanizing and super creepy ways, we are crossing our fingers Richardson has two daughters -- so he can see what it feels like to be an overprotective dad! Perhaps being a dad might make him change his unfortunate ways!

She's really sticking by him!
Lamar Odom is facing months and months of physical rehabilitation to learn how to walk and talk again, and estranged wife Khloe Kardashian plans to be by his side every step of the way, People reports. The reality star has been keeping a 24/7 vigil at the basketball star's bedside, and she has no plans to leave just because his condition is slowly improving.
The E! starlet isn't through worrying about her love just because he's come out of a coma, though. "[Khloe] is happy he is off the ventilator and is breathing on his own, but she is still scared and still concerned. He's woken up and his heart is stronger, but there is still concern about his organs," a source dished to the mag.
The LA Times is reporting that the hoopster is "conversational" and E! News is reporting that he passed a critical "swallow test" to determine if he can function without his breathing tube.
We could cry we're so happy that Lammy is pulling through!

Oh great -- the Duggars are back.
Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald are returning to TLC with a series of specials for TLC. This is the first time the sisters are back on a series since their brother Josh admitted to molesting his sisters and several other underage girls when he was a teenager.
TLC released a one-minute clip of the new series, Jill & Jessa: Counting On, which features the two sisters dealing with the aftermath of Josh's scandal.
"The whole world was shocked," Jill said. "You're angry and hurt and all those emotions all mixed together."
Nancy Daniels, TLC's executive vice president and general manager, announced the series back in September and said the show would focus on Jessa's pregnancy and Jill's preparing for her missionary trip to El Salvador with her husband Derick and son, Israel.
In July, TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting after it was revealed that Josh Duggar molested his sisters and his parents subsequently covered it up. in In August, Josh, was outed as a subscriber to cheating website AshleyMadison, checked himself into a faith-based rehab center to deal with his infidelity and porn addiction.

After all, she is his mirror!
Justin Timberlake was overcome with emotion and affection for wife Jessica Biel during his induction into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame this past Saturday, and it's nice to hear him be so smitten with his love.
This is the f---ing coolest thing that has ever happened to me. I wanna thank all the great artists in this hall. I’m truly honored to merely stand on the shoulders of all these legends I grew up listening to, and I grew up admiring, to say that I stand alongside them now," he began.
The "SexyBack" crooner then laid on the praise for his "beautiful, loving and incredibly understanding" actress partner of three years. "Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write," he gushed while choking up.

Kendall Jenner did a quick turnaround, landing at LAX upon returning from a modeling gig in China, rushing home to change and re-pack her bags to then meet the family at Van Nuys airport to catch a private jet to Las Vegas. The bleary-eyed teen disembarked in Sin City with a heavily pregnant Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner. It's the ladies' second trip to the desert since last Tuesday when former NBA star Lamar Odom suffered an apparent overdose at a Nevada brothel and was taken to Sunrise Hospital.
After reportedly waking from a three-day coma and being taken off a ventilator on Friday, the family appeared optimistic as they met a friend on the tarmac and headed to the hospital. Kris Jenner gave the pal a big hug and had a huge smile on her face as they all then got into a waiting SUV to go meet Khloe.
Kim Tweeted, on Saturday, that she and Kendall were able to make Lamar smile during their visit. God is good! Prayers up for Lamar!
I believe in the power of prayer! Thx 4 ur prayers Lammy- So happy Kendall & I could make u smile 2day God is good! pic.twitter.com/T50WNEnmOL

That awkward moment when you realize catching a movie with your BFF is actually a date ...
Ok, people -- Ronda Kamihira's been by Caitlyn's side during her transition from Bruce, her divorce from Kris, her move to Malibu and throughout the taping of her docu-series and Ronda's still by Cait's side. One may think this is a usual sort of unusual friendship -- the best friend who finds herself supporting her pal's gender transition; the best friend who was there during her friends' divorce (let's not forget, she was close to Kris, too); the best friend who now finds herself getting gussied up for date night with Caitlyn ...
Ronda and Cait went to see the movie The Walk the other night and both looked quite fancy and done-up for a simple night at the theater. Trying to impress one another, perhaps?
You know when you have that super close friendship with someone and little-by-little you realize you have deeper feelings for that person? Romantic feelings. Could that be happening with Ronda and Cait? Maybe "the one" for Caitlyn has been by her side all along ...

Lamar's dad Joe Odom appeared to be in good spirits during a quick errand run at Walmart in Las Vegas near the hospital where his son is said to be recovering from an apparent overdose last week.
We spotted Joe shopping for a suit the other day and he seems to be making use of it during his time in the Nevada city. He's still accessorizing with his usual baseball cap.
Odom has been by his son's side since Tuesday, when the former NBA star was admitted to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas after being found unconscious in a brothel bedroom. Khloe Kardashian has been by her estranged husband's bedside since that day as well, and has even spent a few nights in Lamar's room.
Lamar's former teammates have been sending well wishes as well -- in fact, former player Joe Smith, who played with Odom on the Lakers in 2010-11 recorded a song in honor of his pal called, "If I Die Tonight." Sounds kinda depressing to us, but maybe some of Lamar's friends are finding comfort in this tribute. Take a listen ...
