'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Star Phaedra Parks Is Pregnant

The Georgia capital's community of authentic domestics — in other words, the Real Housewives of Atlanta— is going to be welcoming a new resident in the coming months: series star Phaedra Parks, a self-dubbed "Southern belle," has announced her pregnancy, as reported by People.

This will be the second child for Parks, a fixture on the Bravo! reality show since its third season, and her husband Apollo Nida. The pair, who have been together since 1995, welcomed son Ayden in 2010.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is presently in its fifth season on Bravo, with its final episode of the calendar year scheduled for Sunday night.

Have you ever accidentally viewed someone's Web History and immediately wished you could unsee it? Well, you might be surprised to see what people all around the world are looking at on Wikipedia. 

Created in 2001, the multilingual site now pulls in about 470 million unique visitors each month. And although the site didn't release an official report itself, a Swedish software engineer named Johan Gunnarssoncompiled a list of the most viewed pages for 2012 and made the whole fascinating thing public here

Not surprisingly, the English list was dominated by entertainment and pop culture. Interestingly, boy bandOne Direction made the top 10 list in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish and Danish. (Justin Bieber only made the Danish and Norwegian list.)

In German, CBS TV shows were head-scratchingly hot, with How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and Two and a Half Men making the list. In Japanese, a porn actress topped the heap and in Italian, Grey's Anatomy came in at No. 1. How do you say McDreamy in Italian? 

But the real cake-topper of the bunch: the most viewed Wikipedia page in German? Sackgasse, an article about cul-de-sac streets. 

Check out the full English Top 10 below: 

1. Facebook (32,647,942)

10 Reasons to Be Excited for 2013

Aw, another year? Really? More taxes, annoying celebrity Instagram photos, and Taylor Swift boyfriend scandals?

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves Welcome Their Third Baby


The year of 2012 has been a colorful one for ol' Matthew McConaughey. He put a murderer behind bars inBernie. He evaded the long arm of the law in Mud. He turned shirtlessness into a religion with Magic Mike. And now, the actor is capping off the year by playing the greatest role of them all: father. McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves welcomed their third child together on Friday in Austin, TX, as reported by People. At the time of publication, reps for McConaughey and Alves have not answered Hollywood.com's request for confirmation.

The news of Alves' pregnancy broke over the summer, not long after the release of McConaughey's aforementioned male stripper picture (making the season one of high celebration for McConaughey fans worldwide).

McConaughey and Alves have been dating since 2007, and have a son Levi, 4, and a daughter Viva, 2, in addition to their new baby.
