Baby talk swirls around Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, plus more news

Are Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton 'exploring surrogacy' options?

During a visit to the "Today" show back in March, Blake Shelton couldn't say enough loving things about Gwen Stefani's sons, Kingston, 12, Zuma, 10 and Apollo, 4, all of whom she shares with her ex, Gavin Rossdale. "At this point in my life, I kind of had put [having kids] as like, 'Well, that wasn't meant to be.' Then all of a sudden it happens — one way or another — and it's like, 'Wow, I really missed out on a lot.' And so having them around, is you know, I don't even know how to describe it. It's so much fun." At the time, a source told Us Weekly the couple hadn't ruled out having a child of their own, but noted they were only interested in doing so if it "happened naturally." This week, the magazine's sources are singing a different tune, claiming Blake, 42, and Gwen, 49, are so "determined to have a child together" that they've enlisted the help of a surrogate. "They are in the final stages of choosing the woman who will carry their baby. It's extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited," says the unnamed insider. Alas, Gwen's rep has already dismissed the report as false, telling Gossip Cop the singers are not "exploring surrogacy at this time." Back in 2015, Gwen told Wonderwall her youngest son, Apollo, was a surprise. Though she wasn't dating Blake yet, when we asked if one more ankle biter could be in the cards for her down the line, she left pretty much no room for confusion when she said emphatically that with the addition of Apollo to her family, "I feel very very very complete."

Jaime King's 5-year-old son wants to marry Cardi B

Look out, Offset … your lady's got a pretty adorable — and not very secret — admirer in 5-year-old James Knight! His mom, Jamie King, shared a hilarious video on Instagram on Tuesday, Nov. 13, that showed the kid singing Cardi B's praises while apparently wearing the Miu Miu shades Cardi helped make famous. "What do you want to say to Cardi B?" Jaime can be heard asking her little guy as he hams it up for the camera. "I love you," says James, wasting no time. "What else do you want to say?" his mom asks, egging him on. That's when he flashes a heart shape with his hands and blurts out, "I want to marry you!" Unfortunately for James, his mom points out the problem with his plan (er, beyond the fact that Cardi's happily married with a daughter of her own … and that she's 26). "You want to marry her?" Jaime asks. "Everybody does." Jaime went on to tag Cardi in the caption, calling the post, "A love message to James Knight's queen @iamcardib 🔥" and telling the rapper her son "keeps asking for a play date 😂😍🌹 #forealtho …" Take what you can get, kiddo!

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly making millions to work with Qatar-based companies

A few years ago, Jennifer Lopez was urged to cut ties with Qatar Airlines, which is owned by Qatar, a country with an extensive history of human rights violations. It seems J.Lo's still working with the airline and possibly other organizations in the country, however, and she's making a good deal of dough through the relationships. TMZ reports Jennifer performed a 20-minute set last week, then did a Q&A with fans at the opening of a mall in the country. She reportedly made $2 million for the gig, which came with a $1 million expense budget. On the plus side, the singer reportedly discussed women's rights during the question and answer session, tackling a situation that's been evolving slowly but steadily to allow for somewhat more equality. TMZ also got its hands on an invite to a party in Los Angeles for Qatar Airlines next week. The invitation promises "… a dazzling performance by renowned global entertainer Jennifer Lopez as well as a taste of authentic Arabian hospitality." According to TMZ, Jennifer's been offered $1.2 million for the set but has not yet inked the deal, despite her name being on the invitation.

Zoe Kravitz says Lily Allen attacked her more than kissed her

Zoe Kravitz is less than thrilled about her shout-out in Lily Allen's memoir, "My Thoughts Exactly." During the fan call segment of "Watch What Happens Live" this week, a fan wondered if Zoe had been told ahead of the book's release that Lily had included an anecdote about a kiss the women allegedly shared when Lily was on tour in 2014. "Who's Lily Allen?" Zoe asked dryly (via Us Weekly). Eddie Redmayne, who was also a guest on the show as he and Zoe promoted "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald," chimed in to call Lily "the voice of our generation" and announce that he "loves" her. Zoe then looked at Eddie, made a sarcastic face and said, "No, you don't." Addressing the question at hand, Zoe asked, "If by kissing, she means attacking? Then yes, she kissed me. [She] attacked me." She added that she felt the book portrayed the moment as if Zoe had "wanted it." When Andy Cohen followed up by asking if Zoe had read the book, Zoe acknowledged she had not and said, "I don't think anybody read the book." Much of "My Thoughts Exactly" is devoted to Lily's exploration of how and when she hit rock bottom with her substance abuse and depression. Stories from the 2014 tour figure prominently.

How Stan Lee surprised Robert Downey, Jr., for his 50th birthday

When Robert Downey Jr. learned of Marvel legend Stan Lee's death, he shared a photo of the man who kicked off a decade's worth of superhero blockbusters for RDJ, writing, "I owe it all to you." As the late comic creator's manager Brad Herman recently told the New York Post, the two shared a special relationship. Case in point: Ahead of Robert's 50th birthday party, Stan sent a regrets RSVP — on Spider-Man stationary, of course — telling the actor, "May Destiny grant you good health and much time. You deserve so much more than this simple rhyme" and signing off, "Excelsior." But then the party rolled around and Stan made a surprise appearance. Robert reacted by getting on his knees, giving Stan a humble a bow and kissing the man's feet, according to Stan's manager. "How soon can I see you again?" Stan quipped in response. "I could get used to this!" Given what the successful "Iron Man" franchise meant to RDJ, who'd been struggling with addiction for decades until shortly before he was cast in "Iron Man," which helped solidify the star's comeback. Watching Robert's genuine, if humorous display of gratitude left everyone who caught the moment emotional. "We were all in tears," Stan's manager recalled.

Kim Kardashian held back her anger toward Tristan Thompson in Khloe Kardashian's delivery room — sort of …

Don't mess with Kim Kardashian West when it comes to her family. Tristan Thompson, for one, has probably learned this valuable lesson by now, since the next edition of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" features Khloe Kardashian going into labor just days after Tristan's cheating scandal surfaced. In a preview clip on E!, Khloe can be seen in the delivery room asking Kim and Tristan, "are you going to say hi to each other or no?" Kim and Tristan then exchange a hug. And while Kim smiles during their brief, apparent truce, she never stops looking at Khloe — while making an "off with his head" sign, clearly in reference to the Cavaliers star. In a confessional, she admits she's not planning to focus on what Tristan seems to have done. "The vibe in the room is calm, I thought there would be way more tension," she says. "As much as I want to go off, I just don't think it's the time. So I'm gonna keep it cute, I don't have to have a lot of interaction, I just have to be there for her." "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" airs on E! on Sunday, Nov. 18.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have had no problem coparenting amid child support court battle

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's battle over child support hasn't really affected their coparenting. That's according to TMZ, which cites sources on both sides of the former couple's battle lines as saying the pair's been great about maintaining the schedule their joint custody of their daughter Dream requires. Rob and Chyna reportedly alternate from week to week with one parent getting four days and the other getting three days with the 2-year-old they share. For the most part, the lack of blowups around sharing custody seems to revolve around the parents' use of nannies, who do the pass-offs each week. Rob recently filed to request a large reduction in the child support he pays, asserting that if anything, Chyna should be paying him, since he believes she earns more at this point.
