Happy Tuesday Kiddies and away I go.  I know, I know, it has been a little over a week, let me have it.

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima is going to be a mom!   Lima, a Victoria’s Secret Angel, and her husband NBA star Marko Jaric, are expecting their first child together, reps for the couple confirm to PEOPLE exclusively. Lima is due this winter.   “Adriana and Marko are overjoyed that they are expecting their first child together and are excited to share the happy news and start their family together,” say reps.  The couple eloped on Valentine’s Day this year, tying the knot in a small, private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.   “We are so excited about our future together,” Lima told PEOPLE at the time.   Lima and Jaric, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, met in 2006 and got engaged two years later on Lima’s 27th birthday.   Eh, I hope she gets her pre-pregnancy body back.

Already boasting a toned, petite body, Kendra Wilkinson’s pre-wedding fitness strategy is simple: If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.   “I’m not really doing anything different,” Wilkinson, 23, tells PEOPLE. “We love to hike and go on bike rides.”   The Girls Next Door star also credits a certain, ahem, bedroom activity for staying in shape. “A lot of that,” fiancé Hank Baskett, 26, adds, smiling.   With the wedding a month away, the couple took a little time off from planning and headed to Las Vegas on Friday where Wilkinson hosted the Wet Republic pool party at MGM Grand.   “The planning is great,” Wilkinson says, “but we just want to walk down the aisle, say ‘I do’ and go to the honeymoon.” Oh that Kendra, doing anything to make a buck.  I wonder then their sex tape will be “illegally stolen” and leaked on the Internet.

Move over New Jersey, here comes Washington, D.C.!  On Tuesday, Bravo announced that it is expanding its popular Real Housewives franchise once again, this time heading to the nation’s capital and seeking women for The Real Housewives of D.C.  “We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders,” Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Bravo Media, said in a statement. “The people who rub elbows with the most  prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles.”  That better not mean that Dina is not any less important.

Well, she has come a long way from her days belting out bubblegum hits like “Candy,” touring with the Backstreet Boys and dating Wilmer Valderrama. But sometimes even Mandy Moore can’t believe she’s all grown-up!   “Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind,” Moore, 25, tells PEOPLE. “It still feels not entirely real. Things are wonderful, and there’s such a peaceful settledness about it. But sometimes I can’t wrap my head around it. It seems bizarre but really cool at the same time, like, ‘Wow – I did that!’ “   Moore married singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, 34, on March 10 in Savannah, Ga., in a top secret super low key ceremony that she calls “quirky and random.”  Good I am happy for the two of them.

Brooke Shields got a head start in modeling and acting, but the one thing she regrets not doing sooner? Having sex.   “I think I would have had sex a lot earlier,” the actress tells Health Magazine its June issue. “I think I would have been much more in touch with myself.”   In fact, Shields, 44, feels that losing her virginity sooner could have helped her with body image as a young adult.  “I think I wouldn’t have had issues with weight – I carried this protective 20 pounds [in college]. It was all connected,” she says. “I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22.”   Though Shields reveals that she didn’t learn “to love the way I looked earlier,” now that she’s older, she’s not letting age hold her back.  Eh, anything to keep your name in the public eye.  What’s next?  Alicia Silverstone saying that she was homeless and lived in her van growing up?

There is more to life than being ridiculously good looking. Just ask Ben Stiller.   Zac Efrom, will present the Zoolander star, 43, with MTV’s Generation Award at the upcoming Movie Awards, the network confirms to MSN.   Stiller has appeared in dozens of films – Reality Bites, There’s Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tropic Thunder and Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian, which opens Friday – and worked in Hollywood as a director, producer and writer.   Van Toffler, President of MTV Network  Music/Logo/Film Group, cited Stiller’s “versatility and talent” as reasons for honoring him at the Movie Awards, set to air on Sunday “Ben is a comedic chameleon, able to make the leap between drama and full-out comedy while maintaining his own unique brand of subversive humor,” he said in a statement. “Whether it’s fighting a monkey in a museum or licking a decapitated head, nothing is ever off-limits for him and that’s the type of warped creative vision and commitment MTV loves to reward.”   Stiller is already expressing his appreciation for the recognition – in his own way: “I am honored to be getting the ‘Generation Award,’ ” the star says in his own statement. “I was given my first show at MTV, and also cancelled for the first time. I also was secretly having an affair with JJ Jackson, so it brings back pleasant memories.”   The Movie Awards are always a good time on MTV, I am there.

David Cook, on the verge of relinquishing his title Wednesday night, told Ryan at the start of the two-hour finale: “I don’t know that America can get this wrong.”  Actually, America’s decision will be a point of considerable debate in the next day and maybe even days beyond that — with just under 100 million votes cast, dark horse Kris Allen beat out Adam Lambert, who for weeks has been considered the all-but-inevitable champ.  This is the biggest upset in eight seasons. The result was an even bigger surprise considering that — as even Kris’s supporters would concede — Adam gave the stronger performance on the Tuesday performance show. Simon anointed him a “worldwide star.”  Apparently stunned by the news of his victory, Kris couldn’t help but stammer, “Adam deserves this.”   Oh, please! Adam was the most acclaimed Idol contestant ever, but also one of the most divisive.   At any rate, it was an exciting jolt at the end of a long two hours. The show started with the 13 season finalists dressed in white, as if they had just died and were arriving in the afterlife.  It was a killer episode, and as long as that scrub Danny Gokey didn’t win, I was a happy camper.

And finally, After being spotted kissing Rihanna on Monday, actor-turned-rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham says he and the singer are “just friends.”   Appearing on New York’s Hot 97 radio station Thursday morning, Graham confirmed that he and the 21-year-old Barbadian beauty were indeed hanging out in New York – but denied they are dating.   “I have the most utmost respect for her,” he told the station’s hosts. “I think she’s so talented.”   The rapper repeatedly shot down questions about any budding relationship between the two after being pressed for more details. “Nah, nah, nah, It’s not like that at all,” he said.” I’m being honest, man. She’s just a friend that’s all.”   Drake and Rihanna, who was honored Wednesday night at Island Def Jam’s Spring Collection music preview with a plaque for selling 16 million albums worldwide, spent Monday bowling with a group of friends at New York’s Lucky Strike.   Um isn’t he that little scrub from that teeny-bopper show Degrassi?
