GOOD NEWS AND GOOD EXCUSE FOR OLD LADIES.
Mothers Over 40 Give Birth To Healthier Children
Children born to mothers of over 40 are healthier and brighter than those of younger women and less likely have accidents or need hospital care to a study has found.
This latest research may be a piece of good news for the rising number of women who are delaying motherhood.
Previous studies have highlighted the growing infertility rates for older women and the greater risk of them developing diabetes and pre-eclampsia (a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that occurs after 20 weeks’ of pregnancy).
The research appears to show advantages for older mothers once they have given birth, possibly due to their greater experience and maturity.
Researchers at the Institute of Child Health, University College London and Birkbeck College, London, said their findings showed older mothers can make better parents.

STARS AND THEIR EVERYDAY CARS
The BBC mega-hit TV show Top Gear features a regular segment called "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car". As you can probably guess, it involves the hosts putting big-name celebrities like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz behind the wheel of an average, everyday grocery-hauler to see how fast they can zip around a racetrack.
Apart from watching celebs drive like maniacs (and oftentimes, get very competitive in the process), the fun of "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" also comes from seeingCruise, Diaz, and their A-list pals strapped into a vehicle that most would never, ever own...or would they? On a recent rainy afternoon, we decided to poke around and see which boldface names still reserve one bay in their Ferrari-filled garages for a mainstream, mass-market ride like the kind they drove before they hit the big time.

Amber Rose Pregnant: Wiz Khalifa, Star Expecting Baby
Big changes are in store for Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa. The engaged couple is expecting their first child together, as Rose's burgeoning baby bump at Thursday night's MTV Video Music Awards made evident. "We're expecting a beautiful little baby named Amber," Khalifa revealed on the red carpet.
Rumors have been swirling that Rose was expecting, but Khalifa was quick to downplay the reports. He talked about the pregnancy rumors on the Q Deezy Show on Philadelphia's Hot 107.9 FM.
"I want babies. I definitely want to have kids for sure. Oh, you all think Amber's pregnant? Cause I've been asked that," he said on the program, later adding, "I'm saying here that is not what people think it is. But, she will have my baby in life, and you guys will know when she's pregnant. But it's not the time now for people to start going crazy."
Khalifa and Rose have been together since early 2011 and announced their engagement in March.
KANYE WEST: I Declared My Love For Kim YEARS AGO ... In Song
Kanye West publicly declared his undying love for Kim Kardashian all the way back in 2009 -- when she was still dating Reggie Bush -- but everyone was too dumb to realize it at the time.
Sources extremely close to Yeezy tell us, the rapper penned several lyrics confessing his love for Kim in the 2009 hit "Knock You Down," indirectly referencing Kim and her then NFL star boyfriend.
The main reference -- "You was always the cheerleader of my dreams / To seem to only date the head of football teams / And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing / We were never meant to be, baby we just happened."
Then later in the song, Kanye says, "You should leave your boyfriend now."
We're told the song is just one example of Kanye's secret references to Kim in his music -- and it's proof he's been obsessed with her for years.
