Kim Kardashian Talks Baby Names on "Keeping Up" Preview: Watch Here!

It may be a family tradition, but Kim Kardashian and Kanye West decided to steer clear of giving their baby a name that starts with the letter "K" for a rather, well, unique reason.

In a sneak peek of Sunday's (July 28) episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Kim tells her family about her concerns, saying, "If we name our kid with a 'K' name, which is kind of what we want mainly just because Kanye and I are 'K' names, then our kid, if it's a 'K', they'll call us the KKK."

The reality star is apparently referring to the notorious white supremacist group, the Ku Klux Klan. However, Kim's half-brother Brody Jenner doesn't think that's an issue responding, "That's a little crazy."

In the episode, which was taped when Kardashian was still pregnant, the name North (which was ultimately chosen) is already a favorite. Sister Kourtney says, "It's pretty and cool and it's not just like tomboyish. It's just good."

Kanye West: No Felony Charges After All?

He wrestled a snarky shutterbug outside LAX Airport last week, and now Kanye West may have caught a break courtesy of the legal system.

Initially, the "Love Lockdown" rapper was facing felony attempted robbery charges, but it seems the District Attorney's office can't find evidence to substantiate the claim.

West allegedly tried to snatch the paparazzo's camera as he knocked him to the ground and jumped into his waiting car, but the defendant hasn't provided sufficient proof to bring felony charges.

Instead, Kanye may avoid legal action altogether if he's able to reach a civil compromise with the man he supposedly injured. Translation: it's going to cost him some cash!

Kate Middleton & Prince William Announce Son's Name: Prince George of Cambridge!

Ever since his arrival on Monday (July 22), Royal baby watchers have all been eager to learn the name of the newborn Prince of Cambridge. And now we know.

Prince William and Kate Middleton chose the name George Alexander Louis for their little guy, with his official title listed as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

Kensington Palace said in a short statement: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son George Alexander Louis. The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's moniker selection is thoughtful and strong, as George comes from the Greek for earth-worker or farmer, and Alexander means 'protector of men.' And of course, Louis means 'famous in battle.'

Back in 1714 George I took over the British throne and there's been six King Georges in Royal lineage so far. It sounds like Prince George of Cambridge will be lucky number seven!

J.K. Rowling Talks Robert Galbraith Pseudonym

Given her worldwide fame and success, J.K. Rowling can't go anywhere or write anything without massive fanfare, so she changed her name for her most recent book "The Cuckoo's Calling."

Under the "Robert Galbraith" moniker, the "Harry Potter" author hoped to be received solely on the basis of her work rather than her reputation.

Rowling blogged, "I was yearning to go back to the beginning of a writing career in this new genre, to work without hype or expectation and to receive totally unvarnished feedback."

"It was a fantastic experience and I only wish it could have gone on a little longer. If anyone had seen the labyrinthine plans I laid to conceal my identity (or indeed my expression when I realized that the game was up!) they would realize how little I wanted to be discovered. I hoped to keep the secret as long as possible."

As for her choice in name, J.K. noted, "I chose Robert because it is one of my favorite men's names, because Robert F Kennedy is my hero and because, mercifully, I hadn't used it for any of the characters in the Potter series or 'The Casual Vacancy.' Galbraith came about for a slightly odd reason. When I was a child, I really wanted to be called 'Ella Galbraith,' and I've no idea why."

Prince William & Kate Middleton Depart the Hospital, Debut Prince of Cambridge

They're ready to begin their life as parents to a prince, and Prince William and Kate Middleton left St. Mary's Hospital in London today (July 23).

The new mom and dad exited from the same Lindo Wing as Will's parents Princess Diana and Prince Charles did following his birth way back in 1982.

During a brief chat with the press, the Duke of Cambridge said that they are still deciding on a name and that it is a "very special, very emotional time."

"He's got a good pair of lungs that's for sure, he's a big boy," the 31-year-old added. As for his appearance, Will said that he looks like his mother, adding, "He has way more than me, thank God."

In addition, Will joked that he will remind Baby Cambridge of his tardiness later, since he made all the media wait!

Will and Kate welcomed their Royal bundle of joy on Monday (July 22) and the newborn heir weighed in at 8 pounds and 6 ounces.

Given the title of "His Royal Highness Prince of Cambridge," the youngster still hasn't been given a name, though Prince Charles and Princess Diana took seven days to name Prince William.

Following their baby's arrival, William and Kate released a statement- , "We would like to thank the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole hospital for the tremendous care the three of us have received. We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone -- staff, patients and visitors -- for their understanding during this time."

"Glee's" Jenna Ushkowitz and Charice Remember Cory Monteith

It's been just over a week since Cory Monteith died, but the kinds words and tributes from his friends and co-stars are still continuing to pour in.

On Monday (July 22), the late 31-year-old's castmates Jenna Ushkowitz and Charice spoke out on the tragic passing of their friend and fellow actor.

Taking to her Twitter page to leave a heartfelt message along with a picture of the cast, Ushkowitz, who played Tina Cohen-Chang on the hit musical series, wrote, "I am so grateful that Glee brought this group of extraordinary individuals together to form a family. I was lucky enough to closely experience the love and light that Cory shared with the world, as well as having the privilege of traveling down the road together on a once in a lifetime journey. Cory always reminded me to be gracious, kind and open, and he will leave a mark in my heart forever. Thank you everyone for your constant support and love while we mourn the loss of our dear friend, and continued support to Cory's family, and to Lea [Michele]."

Following suit with a similarly warm message, Charice detailed the beginning of her friendship with Cory through a guest blog on CNN. "I remember the last time I shot for "Glee," it was May 9, 2011. It was a long shooting day that swelled into the wee hours of the following morning. I was a tad emotional when the clock struck 12 midnight -- not because I was tired -- but because May 10 was my birthday. And I, a girl from the barrio of Gulod in the far-flung Philippines, was alone in America."

"But Cory came to the rescue, just in time, with his sweet greeting: "Happy birthday, Charice!" A big smile crossed his handsome face. There was sincerity in his tone as he gave me a tight hug. He became family to me at that moment," Charice added.

Handling the news with as much positivity as she can, the 21-year-old actress finishes, "I am confident he's singing with the angels now. I am more than confident that his suave style, his cool attitude about everything will endear him more to his new-found winged friends in the afterlife. To his fans around the world who mourn his passing, I am with you. I know how it feels. Let's hold each other's hand. Let's remember Cory and continue to celebrate his music, his craft, his life. He will forever be in our hearts."

"I throw these Maybach keys

Y'all n*ggas can't f*ck with Ye
Y'all n*ggas can't f*ck with Ye
I'll move my family out the country
So you can't see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters

See they'll confuse us with some bullsh*t like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA

They tryna lock n*ggas up
They tryna make new slaves
See that's that private owned prison
Get your piece today
They probably all in the Hamptons
Braggin' 'bout their maid
F*ck you and your Hampton house
I'll f*ck your Hampton spouse
Came on her Hampton blouse
And in her Hampton mouth
Y'all 'bout to turn sh*t up
I'm 'bout to tear sh*t down
I'm 'bout to air sh*t out
Now what the f*ck they gon' say now?"

"Glee" Creator Ryan Murphy Speaks Out on Future of the Show

Though the topic is tough to talk about, "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy is finally opening about the death of Cory Monteith and the future of his Fox show.

In an interview with E! News, the 47-year-old explains that the decision to continue with the series was solely up to Monteith's girlfriend, and main cast member, Lea Michele.

"Ultimately the person who made the decision was Lea, who felt that the best thing for the cast and crew was to be together and to get back to work and be together every day and talk about our memories of him," Murphy sad. "So we decided to do that with Lea's blessing and we're going to go back to work and have grief counselors on the set for two weeks because people are really hurting."

Although the musical-comedy is a huge hit, Ryan says that the possibility of shutting down for good could have happened, saying, "If Lea had said to me, 'I could never do this again and I don't want to do this again,' you know, she is sort of the show, so what do you do? And I would've, out of respect to her as a person, said 'OK,' but that's not how Lea operates; that's not how she feels. She's handled this with so much humanity and grace and she's also handled this in a way where she's trying to look out for 500 other people affected by him and who have mortgages to pay and families to feed."

Finally, Murphy gave a touching statement on how he wants Cory to be remembered, saying, "I think Cory was very much like Finn that Cory really was a champion of young artists and the underdog. I hope that that's how he's remembered and I think he will be because that's how he was in real life with his causes and his outreach programs."

Report: Leaked Audio of Kanye West's Post-VMA Taylor Swift Rant

Four years after the infamous Kanye West/ Taylor Swift incident at the MTV Video Music Awards, a new tape purportedly features the rapper ranting about the country crooner and other aspects of the show.

Published by Gawker and allegedly taped at Corner Bistro in New York City shortly after the event, the recording has yet to be verified.

In the approximately two and a half minute recording, the "Jesus Walks" rapper slams Taylor, saying, "When I heard Eminem's verse on the Drake sh*t, I went back and rewrote my sh*t for two days. I canceled appointments to rewrite! I f**kin' care! You know what I'm saying? And that's what I'm saying. Because I did that, Taylor Swift cannot win over Beyoncé! Because I wrote my verse in two days, Taylor Swift cannot beat Beyoncé. As long as I'm alive! And if I'm alive, kill me then! Kill me then! As long as I'm alive, you gon' have to deal with it. 'Cause there ain't gonna be no more motherf**king Elvises with no James Browns."

Seemingly angry about a bigger picture, he continued, "My mother died for this fame sh*t! I moved to f**kin' Hollywood chasing this sh*t. My mother died because of this sh*t. F**k MTV."

Taking aim at another VMA performance, Mr. West exclaimed, "What the f**k was Pink performing? Don't nobody know that song. Pink performed twice! Two songs? How the f**k Pink perform two songs and I didn't even get asked to perform 'Heartless.'"
