WOW: Kyla Pratt Reveals She Has A 1-Year-Old Baby!

Child actress turned twenty-something YBF chick Kyla Pratt just dropped a bombshell on national tv.  Her baby news she revealed this evening when you read on...

 

Actress Kyla Pratt, who's best known for her roles on "One On One" and the voice of Penny Proud on "The Proud Family," made an appearance on BET's "106 & Park" tonight. 

And she confirmed the rumors that have previously been out about her.  She revealed that she has an almost 1-year-old baby girl after secretly giving birth a year ago.  YUP...you read that right.

The 25-year-old, who is best friends with actresses Jennifer Freeman and the Haqq twins, is set to join the second season of BET's "Let's Stay Together" in January 2012 (pictured above with co-star Kym Whitley) and was there to promote the show.

"A lot of people don't know but I had a daughter last year and she's going to be 1 next week," Kyla told the surprised audience.

Kyla says they're going to "do it big" for her baby's first birthday--Disneyland, party at the house, and more. 

She did not confirm who the father of her child is or whether they are couple.  But there are several unconfirmed reports naming a L.A. stripper turned tattoo artist as her alleged fiance'/child's father.  And her baby's name is Lyric Kai.

Who says you can't keep secrets in Hollywood?

Justin Bieber's 'Santa Claus' Joins Classic Cartoon Clips

Justin Bieber is not only going steampunk for a version of his "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" video; he's also getting animated.

In the new clip, Bieber hangs with Kris Claus and Topper the Penguin as they go around with various woodland creatures and have some fun holiday-themed shenanigans. But Bieber is hardly the first pop performer to go the cartoon route for a music video. In fact, he is the latest in a string of animated clips that date as far back as the Beatles and Pink Floyd. Let's take a look at some classic cartoon clips:

A-ha, "Take On Me"
The true gold standard of animated videos, this video, released back in 1985, snagged six VMAs and broke new ground in the medium. The video used a technique called rotoscoped animation, which allows visual effects to be animated over actual footage. It also seamed together an animated world and a real one, in which a man and woman from the two different worlds pursue one another romantically.

Michael Jackson, "Leave Me Alone"
Perhaps the most aggressive of the examples so far, the video, which dropped in 1989, has Jackson addressing the tabloid rumors of the day, as he rides along in an amusement-park setting. The idea of addressing rumors in videos was later adapted by everyone from Kelly Clarkson and Rihanna to No Doubt.

Paula Abdul, "Opposites Attract"
In 1989, Paula Abdul hooked up with MC Skat Kat for a video that was inspired by the classic Gene Kelly flick "Anchors Aweigh," in which he dances with Jerry Mouse. Animated by the Disney team, the video later won a Grammy for the "X Factor" mentor.

Britney Spears, "Break the Ice"
In 2008, Spears went anime in her clip from the Blackout album. The video's femme fatale is based on Brit's character in the "Toxic" video: a sexy, mysterious woman who lives fast and loose. It was Spears' idea to create an animated video.

Kanye West, "Heartless"
In 2008, a down-and-out animated Yeezy hooked up with Hype Williams. Much like A-ha's clip, it used rotoscoping, allowing West to be depressed in a whole new medium. It's the first time Williams created a cartoon clip.

As for Bieber's song, it's featured on his chart-topping holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, which features a number of guests, including Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, the Band Perry, Usher and Busta Rhymes. A version of the "Santa Claus" video will play before screenings of "Arthur Christmas: The Movie," which opens November 23.

Los Angeles

I'm here! I'm here! And I saw my first gang-banger get arrested yesterday so I feel like a total Angeleno.

I'm getting ready to go to the gym (again, like a total Angeleno!) so I will update later about my run-ins with Alexander Skarsgard, Pauly Shore, and Jeremy or Jason London (I'm not sure which one it was and seeing if I could force him to do drugs to find out seemed unfair. Besides, as it turned out, he was telling the truth?)

Anyhoo, I've got a lot to tell you about gardening! (Did you know if you get dirt wet it turns into mud? Yuck.)

And bumpers! (They don't bump off anything... they go, "Scraaaaaaaatch!")

And there's probably more but, again, I have to go because I have to get to the gym!

Heavy D Had 'Flu-Like Symptoms' Before Death

L.A. County Coroner's Office and Heavy's cousin reveal rapper's ailment to New York's Daily News.

More details are emerging regarding the untimely death of New York rap legend Heavy D. According to Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, the beloved artist, born Dwight Errington Myers, was already ill before he collapsed Tuesday morning just outside his Beverly Hills condominium.

"He had gone to the doctor the day before," Winter told New York's Daily News. "He had what appeared to be flu-like symptoms."

"He said he had a touch of pneumonia, maybe from traveling," cousin Ruddy Phillips, 50, told the Daily News after speaking with the entertainer's dad. "He just got back from England."

The Overweight Lover was conscious though experiencing trouble breathing when he was transported to Cedars Sinai Medical Center after a 911 call was placed at 11:25 a.m. PT on his behalf Tuesday. However, he was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. PT. Although an autopsy has been performed, the coroner is declining to announce any cause of death until toxicology tests are conducted due to Heav taking various medications.

The Mount Vernon, New York, rapper's death hit many close to heart, including Eddie F, who along with dancers G Wiz and the late Trouble T Roy were the "Boyz" in Heavy D & the Boyz. The DJ and producer called into MTV News' "RapFix Live" on Wednesday and revealed how he found out about the unfortunate news.

"I had gotten a call from a few of the guys from our crew, and I thought they were calling me about something else that we were working on," Eddie F told MTV News. "They told me the news, and at first I didn't believe 'em. I was like, 'There's no way.' And then I got a call from G Wiz, and then I started making calls. I actually spoke to Andre Harrell, and he had Puff on the other line and everybody was just getting information and really just hysterical. From there, we started getting bits and pieces in."

Heavy D & the Boyz were the first act record executive Andre Harrell signed to his Uptown Records, which released the act's debut, Living Large, in 1987. While at Uptown, Sean "Diddy" Combs got his start in the music industry as Harrell's intern. Naturally, they all became close friends with the universally adored Heavy D, whose music was well regarded by all types of music fans.

"Heavy was always a class act," Eddie F said. "The thing that he did that may be apparent, but maybe a lot of people didn't pay attention to it, he was the type of rapper like the hardest, hardest, hard rock was a fan of his, and he would move on the street. But then he was also respectful and your mother, your grandmother could listen to Heavy D. He was always stylish and fashionable and he was a professional, he was a hard worker."

What do Britney Spears and Usher have in common? Well, they are both global superstars with a back catalogue of tunes that have kept fans dancing for a really long time and they both recently hooked up with will.i.am for tracks on their latest releases (the Black Eyed Peas mastermind worked on the pop vixen's Femme Fatale tune "Big Fat Bass"). And, if Spears has her way, she and the "OMG" singer could be hitting the road together.

When Spears sat down to talk with Sway Calloway for her "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special — airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV — the singer revealed that Usher is first on her list of artists she'd like to join her on tour.

"Oh, I'm so excited. I'm really excited about going on tour, very," she explained about her forthcoming summer trek, which happens to have a spot open on the bill now that Enrique Iglesias has pulled out of the gig. "I think Usher's really great right now. I think he's really hot right now. That would be cool [to tour with him]."

The North American road trip is expected to kick off June 17 in Sacramento, California, and will run for 26 dates, winding up on August 13 in Toronto. More details will be announced soon.

The "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special is a mixture of behind-the-scenes footage of the singer as she wraps up production on her album, which dropped this week, as well as an inside look at her life and fans. In addition, those who couldn't make Spears' recent nightclub show in Las Vegas will get to see her as she takes the stage in her latest pop incarnation.

Don't miss "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale," airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
