Simon Cowell found himself a BABY MOMMA!

Well these headlines definitely shocked me today!  Simon Cowell is reportedly expecting a child with New York socialite Lauren Silverman. 

Lauren Silverman

How is Simon associated with her?  Oh... ya know, he's friends with her HUSBAND!  Yes I said HUSBAND!  Eek this spells drama all around.

Let's take a moment and flashback to an interview Simon did back in 2009: "God, no. I couldn't have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I'd go nuts!"

Well I guess it's time to stock up on those washable markers Mr. Cowell because according to an US Weekly insider, Lauren is 10 weeks along.

Simon & Lauren Silverman vacationing together in 2012

As far as her current marriage goes, she and her husband have been "unhappy" and apparently a divorce is "in the works." This situation is just shady all around!!!

I'm honestly surprised that out of all his girlfriends, he choses the WIFE of his FRIEND to knock up.  I mean, he dated Mezghan Hussainy for years and never had any babies on the horizon. 

One thing is for sure -he definitely has a "TYPE."  Lauren Silverman and Mezghan Hussainy could be sisters!

So be warned - if you're a petite brunette with a nose job and pretty smile - you could be Simon's next baby momma! :)

Your Daily Obsession: The Royal Baby

Who was among the first to visit Kate Middleton at the hospital, how much is her Royal Baby worth, PLUS which baby name is leading the pack?

It's a ROYAL BABY!

Monday July 22nd will not only go down in history as my sister's 24th birthday, but also the birthday of the prince of England - third in line to the throne.

William and Kate welcomed their son into the world at 4:24pm, weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces. We've yet to learn the name of the young royal but I think we can rest assured it won't be anything too crazy.  Check out today's Morning Dish for my favorite celebrity reactions to the royal birth!

Rihanna goes GRAY?!?!

Yep. It's the return of the 90s a la Sisqo -famous for this song- and for workin' the silver hair.  Now Rihanna has jumped on board, and I've got the pics to prove it!  Check out today's Morning Dish and let me know what you think of Rihanna's new do.  Tweet me at @SharonWilbur!

What's next for GLEE?

Since the death of Glee star Cory Monteith everyone wants to know, what's next for the show? Shae has the scoop in today's Morning Dish *PLUS* why Vancouver Police have issued a major warning for residents there.


I still have a hard time envisioning the show without him... and I can't imagine what his cast mates are going through [especially his girlfriend, Lea Michele]. Last night Jane Lynch appeared on Leno and took a moment to share her memories of Cory.

MAXING OUT

To say I'm obsessed with this maxi dress would be putting it lightly.


First of all let me preface things with this: I'm not a huge maxi fan. I love the IDEA of maxi dresses but I rarely find one that I feel flatters the figure - especially considering I've got more a curvy build. So needless to say, I was a bit hesitant to try this on at first... but thanks to the urging of my girl Tammy at Classy Crossroads, I did.


The high/low pocketed sheer top is attached - which makes me love it even more.


I paired it with some stacked necklaces: The bib necklace is from Private Gallery and the tortoise shell chain link is from Classy Crossroads. My superwoman cuff [as I call it] was a gift from my hubby from BCBG a [couple yrs ago].  The tote is by Louis Vuitton.

Did Cory Monteith lead a DOUBLE LIFE?

Details on the autopsy plus new indications that Glee star Cory Monteith led a double life... in today's Morning Dish.

Hangin' w/ SYTYCD Finalist - Carlos Garland

There's no doubt about it - So You Think  You Can Dance top 20 contestant Carlos Garland got eliminated from the competition WAYYYYYY too soon.  In addition to that, last night's episode of SYTYCD left a lot of Carlos' fans extremely upset... here's why:


Well, Carlos Garland may be eliminated but that's definitely not slowing him down!  The Jacksonville native stopped by the Action News studio today to show off his INSAAAANE dance skills and chat about the show.

Shifty

So this GORGEOUS shift dress has been sitting in  my closet for a couple weeks now - I've been saving for the perfect day - and apparently that day was today! :)

I've been seriously drooling over it since I first saw it at Classy Crossroads.

Again... these pics aren't edited or filtered... and as you can see, the colors in this dress are CRAZY vibrant! I thought the peach & gold teardrop necklace was a perfect fit.

Is Rihanna the next Amanda Bynes?!

I know it may seem like a stretch for some... but judging by Rihanna's actions lately - she's well on her way to being the next HHM [Hollywood Hot Mess].  Okay so truth be told she doesn't seem to be QUITE as cray as Amanda Bynes [seen below walking into court today]....


BUT Riri has definitely left her fans with much to complain about.

Lately she's made a habit of showing up late to her own gigs!!! - And we're not talking like 5 or 10 minutes late - we're talking HOURSSSS late!  This happened in Boston a few months ago, and then shortly after that in Wales, and again in Birmingham, Alabama!  To make things worse for Riri... it's not like she can cry "SICK!" because on a couple of those occasions she was spotted out partying till the wee hours of morning.

Case and point:


Yep... that's Riri... stumbling out of the Kings of Leon concert in Poland on July 5th. So what do you think...

Mariah Carey & Randy Travis HOSPITALIZED

Busy morning in Celeb-land! Country singer Randy Travis is in critical condition this morning plus what sent Mariah Carey to the hospital this week... all in today's Morning Dish with Shae!

Beads & Bows

This might be one of the easiest "go-to" outfits of the summer - I love being able to throw on a dress and GO! This one is made by Judith March and can be found at Classy Crossroads Boutique or by clicking RIGHT HERE.
I absolutely LOVEEEEE the dramatic back. I've seen this style done before but I have yet to see it executed as well as it is here. The longer bow just adds such a fun touch.

Vas is Twerking?

Dear German vlogger - I feel your pain. #twerk


Apparently, for those [like me] who have NO CLUE how to #twerk - there's a video tutorial!!! 

Unfortunately... said tutorial was of no help to me...

Silver & Sequins

Sequin skirts are a HUGE trend this summer!  I've been eying them for a while - waiting to find the perfect one to add to my wardrobe.  Well I found it!

Sequins can be difficult to wear because - if not made well - they'll start to pull, or gradually fall off as you wear 'em.  Case & point my New Years Eve dress that I spent hundreds on... and I'll never be able to wear again:


UGH that was frustrating.  Anyway - it's one problem that I HAVEN'T had with this skirt from Classy Crossroads! :)

It's the perfect length, has a great fit, and really made well. Today I've styled it with a sheer button down blouse for work, but I can't wait to try more looks with it.  DEFINITELY the perfect day-to-night piece.

Chatting w/ Carlos Garland - FINALIST on #SYTYCD

It's so exciting to see Jacksonville's own Carlos Garland in the TOP 20 on So You Think You Can Dance!  How is he feeling? How are rehearsals going? Well I asked all this and more when I had the opportunity to chat with him on Monday!


Check out the interview right here:

Picture Perfect

Since we're talkin summer dresses today - I thought I'd share one of my favorite songs to add to your summer playlist!  I met the lovely Charity Vance through my American Idol family (she was on Idol the season after I was - Season 9).  I've always loved the quirkiness in her voice - not to mention her super sweet spirit. Picture Perfect was just released last week and you can get it right here on itunes! Check out the adorbs video below.

OOTD: Dress it up!

When it comes to work attire I admit I struggle to keep things colorful. Grays, blacks, browns, neutrals tend to be my "go-to," however these colors don't translate very well on television. Hence my need for fun dresses like this one!  [These photos are unedited and unfiltered to show the true color of the dress]


I got this Uncle Frank dress from Classy Crossroads Boutique... and I'm slightly obsessed with it!

I paired it with this necklace/earring combo - which was only $15.99... The snakeskin bow belt runs just under that as well & comes in four different colors. LOVE IT!
