GOSSIP CORNER – Summer 2014
by Mandi Pimental

Runway Teen is back with another round of juicy gossip and this issue is all about love, marriage and baby carriages.  Summer love is in the air and romances are blooming.  Some new and some not so new, we are seeing many relationships being rekindled this season. 

During Coachella weekend, it seems that The Beibs and Selena Gomez may have been getting cozy once again.  An eyewitness stated that prior to Bieber's surprise performance the two were seen holding hands and walking together.  The question of “are they or aren’t they?” has been asked as often as the question, “can Beiber make a strong comeback after his recent indiscretions?”  We are hoping so, for his sake, and his millions of Beliebers worldwide that are rooting for him.

While we are pretty sure the topic of Jelena being on-again, off-again is getting tired, one hot couple who we’d like to see sizzle this summer is Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles.  Also reported to have re-sparked their flame during the music fest, after going months without connecting, the One Direction star and reality starlette were spotted holding hands while enjoying a musical performance.  Nothing like young love in the desert.

One relationship that may have cooled, while others were heating up, was the friendship between Selena and the Jenner sisters.  Photographed together through the music fests entirety, Gomez returned home only to unfollow all of her friends and connections on Instagram, claiming that people she had been connecting with lately haven’t been the best influences and that she wants to just focus on “good things, like music and church.”  We are all about positive vibes, and good influence on young stars, so if she is taking a stand on doing what is right for her then we say “Go Selena!” 

In wedding news, it is all about the Kardashian/West wedding plans.  While they reportedly privately got married stateside in May, their lavish affair with friends and family is set to take place in France this summer.  Inviting a modest number of just one-hundred guests, the wedding is sure to be a beautiful spectacle if we can expect it to be anything like her last televised nuptials.  Reportedly having put three dresses on hold for the occasion, we cannot wait to see what the fashion star will debut her walk down the aisle in.  This wedding is a first for West while it will be a third for the reality star.  We are hoping third times a charm and that she is finally found her happily ever after.

And of course, who doesn’t adore babies?  Especially celebrity babies, with their off-the-wall monikers and their trendy baby gear.  Expecting a bouncing baby girl soon is American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson.   Photographed recently in Nashville, her adorable baby bump is growing by the day. 

While this baby is a first for the What Doesn’t Kill You singer, Britney Spears ex, Kevin Federline recently welcomed his sixth little one.  Father to Kori, 13, and Kaleb, 10, with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, Sean, 8, and Jayden, 7, with Spears and Jordan, 2, with current wife Victoria Prince, their new daughter Peyton rounds out the clan nicely.  Maybe he is trying to put together his own back-up dance team.

Christina Aguilera has been trying to keep a low profile lately.  Keeping her baby bump private, she stepped out in Manhattan recently with fiancé Matt Rutler and posted to a photo to her Instagram with a caption that read “Baby loves N.Y.C”.  We can only assume that little baby girl Aguilera is going to have the most fashionable wardrobe, and we’d be lying if we said we aren’t slightly jealous of her soon-to-be lullaby serenades by her songstress mama.

Last but not least, the adorableness that is Mila Kunis cannot go unmentioned.  Expecting her first child with Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher, Kunis is absolutely radiant. Also expecting a girl, Hollywood is about to see an influx of mini-starlet’s in the making. 

Anyone taking any bets on who will give their offspring the most outlandish names?  We are hoping, for all children involved, it doesn’t get too out of hand.  They do have to go through life with the name, after all.
