Jennifer Lawrence Pregnant from Dating New Boyfriend After Nicholas Hoult Breakup, Kristen Stewart Feud?

Rumors are once again flying that Jennifer Lawrence may be pregnant, despite how short of a time she's been reportedly dating her new boyfriend, Coldplay's Chris Martin. This latest update comes after her very public breakup with longtime boyfriend and X-Men costar Nicholas Hoult, as well as claims that Lawrence is feuding with Twilight vampire Kristen Stewart.

When it comes to America's sweetheart Jennifer Lawrence, the world is obsessed with when the loveable starlet might decide to have a baby.
 

The tabloids know that, and it likely explains OK! recent cover story, which suggests that Lawrence is already pregnant with Chris Martin's baby, although neither celeb has even confirmed that they are an item. According to one source who spoke with the publication for their October 20 print edition, Jennifer is already talking about having babies with the "Yellow" singer:

"Jen is talking engagement, babies, the whole nine yards...She'd love to have a little girl. She's been totally swept off her feet by Chris and is convinced they've got what it takes to go all the way."
That's likely good news for Lawrence, considering how rough of a year she's been having.
Not only did she break up with her boyfriend and rumored fiancé Nicholas Hoult, but the A-list actress was also a victim of The Fappening hacking scandal, which saw over 100 actresses involved in the greatest celebrity nude leak of all time.

Earlier today, Google announced that it had taken down multiple links to sites hosting nude photos of Lawrence.

According to The Guardian, this could have something to do with numerous lawsuits levied against the tech giant:

"Google has come under pressure from lawyers representing various celebrities whose private photos were published by hackers...The top entertainment lawyer Martin Singer has written to Google demanding that the company pay for its 'blatantly unethical behavior,' threatening to sue the search giant for $100m."
What do you think about the latest rumors? Is there any chance that Lawrence could be pregnant with her first child? Did Google make the right decision removing the content?

In El Clásico, Real Madrid Pays No Mind to Barcelona Debut of Luis Suárez

MADRID — The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona has spanned nearly 90 years and more than 220 games. It has seen, at various times, pregame intimidation tactics from a Franco general, a severed pig’s head being used as a projectile from the stands, and more red cards than a poker game. Its worldwide viewing totals are often estimated at 400 million for any given match.

All of which is to say that while Luis Suárez’s return from a four-month suspension for biting an opponent during the World Cup was certainly an attraction on Saturday night, precious little will ever overshadow the basic premise of the showdown known as el Clásico. Madrid against Barcelona, la Blaugrana against los Blancos, has always been a bottom-line affair: When these teams meet, nothing is ever bigger than the final score.

Luis Suárez Will See Action in Clásico, Barcelona Coach SaysOCT. 24, 2014

And so it was again. Suárez played 69 minutes for Barcelona in his first official game for the club, and while he was effective in creating opportunities — including one that led to the game’s opening goal — he was not the showstopper. That honor went to a Madrid collective that produced a breathtaking goal early in the second half, capping a thrilling 3-1 victory for los Blancos, who cut their deficit in the Spanish league to just a point behind Barcelona.

Karim Benzema provided an inch-perfect shot on that goal in the 61st minute, but its buildup was just as glorious. Real Madrid prides itself on its explosive counterattacking style, and this connect-the-dots was vintage. The sequence began in Madrid’s own end with Barcelona, at least hypothetically, on the attack, since it had a corner kick.

It turned out the danger was in the other direction. Barcelona scuffed the corner kick, the ball broke free on the left side and, after a mix-up between Andrés Iniesta and Javier Mascherano, Madrid’s players took off as if they had heard a starter’s gun.

The passing was dizzying: Isco, Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodríguez, Benzema. The ball was in the back of the net in seconds, and Suárez was one of several Barcelona players who raised hands in desperation while the Madrid fans threw theirs up in jubilation.

“It’s hard to say who was the best because everyone was playing at such a high level,” Madrid Coach Carlo Ancelotti said.

As it turned out, Suárez’s night ended about 10 minutes later, an unsurprising substitution from Barcelona Coach Luis Enrique, since Suárez will surely need more time before he is in shape to run for 90 minutes. Suárez, a Uruguayan striker, was jeered as he jogged off, but his play was solid, with a few clear moments of the magic that has made him a global enigma.

No one ever doubts his play. His incisiveness around the penalty area is what coaches crave from all their attackers, and his powerful crosses inevitably find their way into the crook of the opposing defense. For the past three seasons, he did it for Liverpool and, before his bite, he had done it for Uruguay at the World Cup. It is difficult to imagine he will not show the same skill set in Spain.

The question with Suárez, though, is always about what potential meltdown may lie just around the corner. His chomp on an Italian defender in Brazil was the third such instance of his biting another player, and disbelief over that reality — yes, it has really happened three times — will last far longer than his suspension did.

Suárez looked chipper when he ran on to the field Saturday, grinning and laughing during warm-ups as he soaked in the trappings at Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Suárez started well, too, taking his first touch inside the first minute and then bursting forward down the wing before sliding a pass across to Neymar, who cut back inside and buried a shot past Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Inside four minutes, Suárez had helped give Barcelona the lead.

“I’m happy to be back playing, it’s a big relief and I’m happy that the time has passed,” Suárez said. “It’s a bittersweet feeling because of the result, but this side has come back many a time.”

He added: “It is very difficult to play here, but I did things that were in the reach of my hands. Everyone knows how Clásicos are played.”

This edition was no different. The lively opening was representative; the game was played mostly at a blistering pace. In the first 10 minutes, there were a goal from Neymar, a rare (but deserved) caution for Lionel Messi and a shot off the crossbar from Benzema.

The turning point, though — at least from a Barcelona perspective — may have come after just 23 minutes. Suárez was involved again, this time playing in another tantalizing cross that sat up for Messi right in front of goal.

Somehow, Messi — known by many as the greatest scorer in the world — missed. Casillas deserves some credit for making a save, but it was difficult not to think Barcelona should have been two goals ahead.

Instead, the margin stayed tight, and soon enough, Madrid had leveled after Gerard Piqué was called for a hand ball near the end line. Ronaldo coolly slid his penalty kick into the corner of the net for his 16th league goal this season and the first conceded by Barcelona in 776 minutes of La Liga play.

A header from Pepe six minutes after halftime put Madrid ahead, and then, with a half-hour still remaining, came Madrid’s sizzling jailbreak. Benzema celebrated. Suárez stared. The fans roared. Even the world’s most notorious biter is not bigger than the sport’s most celebrated battle.

Washington school shooter identified as homecoming prince, 'one of the good kids'

Student Jaylen Fryberg is seen during a homecoming celebration at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Marysville, Wash., on Friday, Oct. 17, 2014, in this still frame made from video. Fryberg has been identified as the gunman who walked into his Seattle-area high school cafeteria on Friday and opened fire without shouting or arguing, killing one person and shooting several others in the head before turning the gun on himself, officials and witnesses said. (AP Photo/Jim McGauhey)

MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- Jaylen Fryberg was well liked and athletic, a football player named to his high school's homecoming court just one week ago.
He was also facing problems, writing of some unspecified troubles on his Twitter feed: "It breaks me... It actually does...."
The popular Marysville-Pilchuck High School freshman opened fire in the school's cafeteria late Friday morning, a government official with direct knowledge of the shooting told The Associated Press.
One girl was killed and four other young people -- including two of the gunman's cousins -- were badly wounded before Fryberg fatally shot himself, witnesses, police and relatives said.
His motives remained unclear. Some students described Fryberg as happy and social, even though he had recently fought with a boy over a girl.
Shaylee Bass, a 15-year-old sophomore, said he remained upset about that, but she was stunned by the shooting.
"He was not a violent person," she said. "His family is known all around town. He was very well known. That's what makes it so bizarre."
Students said the gunman stared at his victims as he fired. The shootings set off a chaotic scene as students ran from the cafeteria and building in a frantic dash to safety, while others huddled inside classrooms at the school 30 miles north of Seattle.
Marysville police declined to release the shooter's identity, with Chief Rick Smith insisting he did not want to "dramatize someone who perpetuated a violent crime in a place where children should feel safe."
But many students identified Fryberg as the gunman, and the identity was confirmed to The Associated Press by a government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Students and parents said Fryberg was a member of a prominent family from the nearby Tulalip Indian tribes and was a freshman football player. A week ago, he stood on the high school track during the team's homecoming game in a vest, tie and white sash as he was introduced as a prince, according to a video recorded by parent Jim McGauhey.
Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux said the gunman died of a self-inflicted wound, but he could not provide more details.
Three of the victims had head wounds and were in critical condition. Two unidentified young women were at Providence Everett Medical Center, and 15-year-old Andrew Fryberg was at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, a hospital official said.
Another victim, 14-year-old Nate Hatch, was listed in serious condition at Harborview, the hospital said. Family members told KIRO-TV that Andrew Fryberg and Hatch are cousins of Jaylen Fryberg.
Witnesses described the shooter as methodical inside the cafeteria.
Isabella MacKeige, 18, was having lunch with a friend when the suddenly heard gunshots behind them.
"I heard six shots go off and I turned and saw people diving under the tables," she told The Associated Press. "In my brain I thought 'run!' So I left my backpack, my phone and my purse and got out the door as fast as I could."
Some students got hurt when they tripped and fell in the chaos, she said. They ran across an open field to the fence that circles the schoolyard and climbed over.
She kept running until she felt safe and found a phone.
"I called my mom and she said, 'stay where you are - I don't want to lose you,'" MacKeige said.
Brian Patrick said his daughter, a freshman, was 10 feet from the gunman. She ran from the cafeteria and immediately called her mother.
Patrick said his daughter said, "The guy walked into the cafeteria, pulled out a gun and started shooting. No arguing, no yelling."
A crowd of parents later waited in a parking lot outside a nearby church where they were reunited with their children.
Patrick said after the shooting that his other daughter, a senior at the school, was "hysterical" when she called him from her classroom.
"I thought, 'God let my kids be safe,'" he said.
Fryberg's Twitter feed suggested he was struggling with an unidentified problem.
On Wednesday, a posting read: "It won't last ... It'll never last." On Monday, another said: "I should have listened. ... You were right ... The whole time you were right."
Marysville-Pilchuck High School has a number of students from the Tulalip Indian tribes.
Ron Iukes, a youth counselor with the tribe, said Jaylen Fryberg was from a well-known tribal family.
"They're real good people, very loving," he said. "Jaylen was one of our good kids."
State Sen. John McCoy, a tribal member, said the tribal community was devastated. "We're all related in one shape or form. We live and work and play together."
Hundreds of people prayed and sang songs at a church vigil Friday night for victims and family members.
The Oak Harbor high school football team, which had been set to play Marysville Friday night, lined the front row of Grove Church in their purple jerseys. The game was canceled and Oak Harbor offered to give the win to Marysville.
Pastor Nik Baumgart told the overflow crowd there was no script for reacting to Friday's events.
"One moment we're thinking, we can do this," Baumgart said. "Another moment, we're thinking, how can we do this?"

Suspect Jesse Matthew's Relatives 'Pray' for Hannah Graham's Family

 

As authorities focus on possibly filing more charges against Jesse Matthew Jr., the prime suspect in the disappearance of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, his family spoke out on Friday – hours after her remains were positively identified.

Matthew's lawyer, James Camblos III, released a statement on behalf of Matthew's relatives, the Carr family, WUSA 9 reports.

"On behalf of the Carr family and speaking for myself as well, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Graham family in their time of bereavement," the statement says. "The Carrs asked me to convey that they will continue to pray for the Grahams and the Harringtons throughout this ordeal."

Matthew, who police believe was the last person seen with Graham on Sept. 13 in Charlottesville, is currently being held without bond and in isolation in the Albemarle Regional Jail. He is charged with abduction with intent to defile in connection to the 18-year-old's disappearance. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Dec. 4 on the abduction charge.

He has also been linked to Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, who was murdered in 2009, and to a brutal rape four years earlier in Virginia.

On Friday, the Albemarle County Police Department announced that the state medical examiner had positively identified the skull and bones found scattered across a dried-up creek bed behind a vacant home in southern Albemarle County on Oct. 18 as those of Graham.

Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney Denise Lunsford said on Friday that her office is considering whether to charge him further in the case. "The focus of the investigation now is to determine what charges will be brought and the appropriate time to make those charges," she said in a statement. "We are working diligently with local law enforcement on the investigation to ensure that we make the best determination for our community and the Grahams in the pursuit of justice."

Matthew is facing charges in connection with a 2005 rape in Fairfax, Virginia. On Oct. 20, two days after Graham's body was found, a grand jury in Fairfax indicted Matthew on a charge of attempted capital murder and felony counts of abduction with intent to defile and sexual penetration with an object in connection with the attack nine years ago.

A significant break in Harrington's murder led to his indictment. On Sept. 29, Virginia State Police announced that they had forensic evidence linking Matthew to Harrington, 20, who was last seen at a concert on the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville on Oct. 17, 2009. Her remains were found three months later on a 700-acre farm about five miles from where Graham's remains were found.

DNA from Harrington's killer was also linked to the 2005 rape. On Oct. 20, Fairfax County prosecutor Ray Morrogh told reporters that he could not discuss how this investigation and indictment relates to the Harrington or Graham cases. "The facts and details will be revealed in the judicial process," he said.

Camblos did not return PEOPLE's calls for comment.

'Hannah Lit Up Our Lives'

On Friday morning, Graham's parents, John and Sue Graham, reportedly visited the site where their daughter's remains were found – 12 miles from where she was last seen, and four miles from where Matthew grew up.

The Grahams thanked police and citizens alike who helped search for their daughter – especially Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo, saying in a statement that it was due to his "tenacity and determination," that "Hannah is coming home to us and we will be eternally grateful to him for this."

Her parents said they are "devastated" by the loss of their daughter. "Over recent weeks Hannah has been described by those who know her as bright, witty, thoughtful, loyal and fun to be around. She was all those things and more. Put simply, Hannah lit up our lives, the lives of our family and the lives of her friends and others who knew her.

"Although we have lost our precious Hannah, the light she radiated can never be extinguished. We will hold it in our hearts forever and it will help sustain us as we face a painful future without her. We are so very proud of Hannah and all that she achieved. Although only 18 years old, Hannah had just started her second year at the University of Virginia when she disappeared and was excelling academically.

She loved UVA and the City of Charlottesville, and was very happy to return there after the summer break. Hannah had intended to pursue a career in global public health, she wanted to help others, and it is heart-breaking for us that she was robbed so tragically of the opportunity to fulfill her dream."

They ended their emotional statement by calling attention to other families whose loved ones have disappeared. "Although the waiting has ended for us, there are other families both in Virginia and beyond who have not been as fortunate in that their loved ones are still missing. Please continue to hold these families in your thoughts and prayers."

MLB, Giants strengthen bond with Boys & Girls Clubs

Youth initiatives highlighted prior to Game 4 of World Series

 

SAN FRANCISCO -- When the 2007 All-Star Game came to AT&T Park, Major League Baseball and the host Giants dedicated a $1 million renovation of the Boys & Girls Club next to Candlestick Park and renamed it the Willie Mays Clubhouse. During Saturday's day-long recognition of youth as the backdrop to Game 4 of the World Series, MLB and the Giants returned to that facility and dedicated a renovated Teen Center as kids continue to benefit from high-profile baseball games here.
Making the event even more memorable for the kids who call the Willie Mays Clubhouse a home away from home, MLB and Church & Dwight Co. hosted a Team Smile event. Hundreds of children were provided with $150,000 worth of free preventative care and education, and if necessary, follow-up dental treatment. This follows the Team Smile dental screening event at a Boys & Girls Club in the Twin Cities during All-Star Week this summer.

"It feels great for the World Series to be back in San Francisco, and for Major League Baseball to use its biggest stage in order to connect with the Boys & Girls Club, It's an honor and I feel like we are really lucky to have the opportunity to showcase this Boys & Girls Club on the biggest stage of the year," said Travis Holley, 15, who stood next to Hall of Famer Willie Mays in 2007 at that dedication.

COMPLETE WORLD SERIES GAME 4 COVERAGE

"[The Willie Mays Clubhouse] represents a safe space for kids to come after school for a safe environment where they can feel comfortable and be themselves. What it means to me personally, it's like a second home. It's a space where I always come, if I need a staff member to talk to, or if I just want to be with my friends in a safe environment."
For the sixth consecutive year, MLB is dedicating the first four games of the World Series to raising the awareness of important causes associated with charitable initiatives and MLB partners. In Kansas City, Game 1 was dedicated to veterans and military families with a focus on Welcome Back Veterans, and Game 2 put the spotlight on education and ALS awareness. In San Francisco, Game 3 was dedicated to advancing the fight against cancer and specifically Stand Up To Cancer, and Game 4 was about youth outreach all day and night, including a celebration of 18th year of partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
"We feel so fortunate to be in this position to be playing in the postseason and now the World Series, and one of the best things about that is it gives us the opportunity to be part of something that gives back to our community, that gives back to Boys & Girls Clubs," said Alfonso Felder, senior vice president of administration at the Giants. "We are very proud of the partnership Major League Baseball has with Boys & Girls Clubs nationally, but we are particularly proud of the partnership that we have here locally with Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco.
"We are thrilled to be part of the renovation of this clubhouse, which honors the greatest Giant of all time, Willie Mays. It sits here just blocks from where Willie Mays played so much of his career. We have a field behind us where Junior Giants play, that [former Giants pitcher] Kirk Reuter made happen. So we feel that our history and the Boys & Girls Clubs' history are so tied together, and that's part of who we are, it's part of our DNA, and we're incredibly proud and happy that this World Series not only showcases the talent that's on the field with the Royals and Giants, but it also gives us the opportunity to show the amazing work that's being done at Boys and Girls Clubs across the country, particularly here in San Francisco."

The ceremony to commemorate a refurbishment (new carpeting, painting, furniture and technology) at the Willie Mays Clubhouse was attended along with Felder by Tom Brasuell, MLB vice president of community affairs, Rob Connolly, president of Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco, Frank Sanchez, vice president at Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Dr. Bill Busch, founder of Team Smile, and Church & Dwight representation.
"Any time you can be focusing our attention as a society on our young people, it's tremendously important," Connolly said. "Major League Baseball's partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America is one of the most important things that Boys & Girls Clubs of America can do for its local clubs. The exposure that the brand gets is just tremendous. ... You want parents to sign up and trust the Boys & Girls Clubs, and having that endorsement in those Clubs from Major League Baseball is a big deal."
"As part of the 2007 All-Star Game, Major League Baseball, the Giants and others partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs to renovate this facility and rename it the Willie Mays Clubhouse," Brasuell said. "Today, we are pleased to be here as we unveil some new renovations, a new refurbishment to the Teen Center, some excellent stuff for kids here in the community. There is new technology, new furniture, and a great new space."
TeamSmile is one of the nation's premier advocacy groups that partners oral health professionals with athletic organizations to provide life-changing dental care to children. The goal is to provide quality dental care, including oral health education, screening, treatment and preventative care, at no cost to underserved youth. Since 2007, TeamSmile has provided more than $4.3 million of oral health care services to 9,825 children through 14 different sports organizations.
Maryah Sullivan, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America's National Youth of the Year, delivered the game ball that night. Sullivan, 18, is a student at the University of South Florida and was a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Joe R. Lee Branch.

Jack Bruce, Cream’s Adventurous Bassist, Dies at 71

Jack Bruce, who became famous in the 1960s as the bassist and lead vocalist for the hugely successful rock group Cream, and whose adventurous approach to his instrument influenced two generations of rock bassists, died on Saturday at his home in Suffolk, England. He was 71.

His family announced the death on his website. A spokesman said the cause was liver disease; Mr. Bruce had received a liver transplant several years ago.

Mr. Bruce was well known in British rock and blues circles but virtually unknown in the United States when he teamed with the guitarist Eric Clapton and the drummer Ginger Baker to form Cream in 1966.

One of the first of the so-called power trios — the Jimi Hendrix Experience soon followed in its wake — Cream had its roots in the blues and became known for Mr. Clapton’s long, virtuosic solos on reworked versions of blues standards like “Crossroads” and “Spoonful.”

“Those original blues records had been done so well, which meant you could only ever be second best,” Mr. Bruce was quoted in the booklet for a 1997 Cream compilation CD. “But if you treated those songs with a great deal of love and respect, you could remake them into your own.”

There were also many original compositions in Cream’s repertoire, most of them — including the hits “Sunshine of Your Love,” “I Feel Free” and “White Room” — written by Mr. Bruce, usually with lyrics by the poet Pete Brown. (“Sunshine,” the group’s biggest hit, was a rare Bruce-Brown-Clapton collaboration.)

Mr. Bruce did most of the singing, in a polished tenor that could be both powerful and plaintive, and his fluid playing provided a solid counterpoint to Mr. Baker’s explosive drumming and Mr. Clapton’s guitar pyrotechnics. His inventive introductions to songs like “Badge” were an essential part of Cream’s sound. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd recently called Mr. Bruce “probably the most musically gifted bass player who’s ever been.”

Cream enjoyed almost immediate success but did not last long. Friction between Mr. Bruce and Mr. Baker is the reason most often cited for the group’s breakup in 1968, after touring extensively and releasing four albums whose total sales have been estimated at 35 million.

Mr. Clapton and Mr. Baker soon reunited and joined with the keyboardist and guitarist Steve Winwood and the bassist Ric Grech to form the group Blind Faith. Despite high expectations, Blind Faith proved to be even more short-lived than Cream, disbanding after one album and one tour. Mr. Bruce, meanwhile, was charting a more ambitious if less commercial musical course.

He recorded a jazz album, “Things We Like,” shortly before Cream disbanded, although it was not released until after an album in a more conventional rock vein, “Songs for a Tailor,” which he recorded after the breakup. He briefly toured with the guitarist Larry Coryell and the drummer and former Hendrix sideman Mitch Mitchell, and then joined the drummer Tony Williams’s pioneering jazz-rock band, Lifetime, alongside the guitarist John McLaughlin and the organist Larry Young.

Mr. Bruce later led several groups of his own and co-led bands with the guitarist Robin Trower and with the guitarist Leslie West and the drummer Corky Laing. He was also an occasional member of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band.

Among the albums on which Mr. Bruce played were the experimental Carla Bley-Paul Haines jazz-rock opera “Escalator Over the Hill” (on which he also sang), Lou Reed’s “Berlin” and Frank Zappa’s “Apostrophe,” whose title track was a Zappa-Bruce co-composition. He recorded more than a dozen albums as a leader; the most recent, “Silver Rails,” was released this year.

John Symon Asher Bruce was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on May 14, 1943. He studied cello and composition at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music.

“Growing up, I had envisioned being some kind of a Mozart,” he once said. “I studied classical music early on, and composed a string quartet at age 11.”

But he became disenchanted with the formal study of music and left the academy after a few months. He moved first to Italy and then to England, where he joined the band Blues Incorporated in 1962. The next year he joined the organist Graham Bond’s band, the Graham Bond Organisation, whose members also included Mr. McLaughlin and Mr. Baker. He later had brief stints in John Mayall’s Blues Breakers — where he first worked with Mr. Clapton — and the pop group Manfred Mann.

Cream was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and received a lifetime achievement Grammy in 2006. In 2005, the band reunited for concerts in London and New York.

Mr. Bruce’s survivors include his wife, Margrit, as well as four children and a granddaughter.

A version of this article appears in print on October 26, 2014, on page A25 of the New York edition with the headline: Jack Bruce, Cream’s Adventurous Bassist, Dies at 71.
