Talk about sweet dreams! Now that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have welcomed a girl, we bet the superstar couple will have no problem splurging on this luxe carriage crib for their little angel. Made of solid cedar, it features a faux leather seat, decorative wheels and a rear changing table/storage bench.
Miss Connecticut-turned-Miss USA Erin Brady

Reigning Miss USA Nana Meriwether has relinquished her crown and the posh New York apartment that comes with it to her successor.
Brady, 25, will become a spokeswoman for breast and ovarian cancer awareness and travel around the world for various charity work. The first runner up, Miss Alabama Mary Margaret McCord, will take over should she not be able to complete her duties. The second through fifth runners up were Miss Illinois Stacie Juris, Miss Utah Marissa Powell, Miss Texas Ali Nugent and Miss South Carolina Megan Pinckney.
At the top of the show, the final 15 were announced after being chosen based on competitions and interviews done during the week leading up to the telecast.
They included: Texas, South Carolina, California, Ohio, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Massachusetts, North Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Nevada, Connecticut and Utah.
But Miss Connecticut USA wasn’t the night’s only winner. Miss Oregon Gabrielle Neilan was named Miss Congeniality, and Miss Utah Marissa Powell took Miss Photogenic honors.
Last year, Olivia Culpo became the first Miss USA to ascend to Miss Universe in 16 years. Meriwether, who had been first runner-up, took over for her for the remainder of the year.
Miss Universe will take place in Moscow, Russia, on Nov. 9.
Last season on True Blood, we saw the beginnings of a crazy but hot — and strangely cute — pairing between Pam and her new vampire “daughter” Tara. (OK, when you use those incestuous terms, it’s a little less hot, but you know what we mean.) When VH1 News hit the red carpet for the premiere of season six, we asked the stars — and author Charlaine Harris — what they thought of the chemistry between the angry lady fangers, played by Kristin Bauer van Straten and Rutina Wesley.
“That is a cool couple, something I never anticipated,” Harris told us. “In the books, Tara is still human, married and the mother of twins. But given the trend of the show, that was a very logical step.”
Wesley didn’t seem very optimistic about the fate of this couple, though. “You will see me and Pam together,” she teased. “We always will have a special bond, but unfortunately that’s going to come secondary to survival.”
Of course, the unpredictability of which characters will hook up and which will turn each other to a pile of goo is part of what makes the show so much fun, even for the actors. “You think you know somebody, you think you know a pairing, and then it goes a different direction,” Jamie Gray Hyder, who plays werewolf Danielle, said.
Speaking of couples, we were also curious what the stars thought of how things concluded for the characters in Harris’ novels. “I just saw Charlaine Harris the other day on set, and I’d heard the ending of the books,” Sam Trammell (Sam) said. “She says she was trying to make it very obvious to the audience from the very beginning, but I guess a lot of people were surprised. Of course, some people were disappointed, some people were happy. Everybody wants their own thing. But she’s awesome. The takeaway from that is that I love Charlaine Harris. She’s a sweet, sweet woman.”

Ron and Eileen Everest at age 4, on their wedding day in 1943 and in 2013

Ron and Eileen Everest never knew a world without each other. They were born in the same hospital – he in 1921, she in 1922 – and were friends practically from birth.
As 4-year-olds, they posed as bride and groom in a pretend wedding at a carnival. Later, barely out of their teens, they married for real.
And this year, 87 years after that old photo was taken – the one they fondly refer to as their first wedding rehearsal – the British couple are celebrating their platinum anniversary after 70 years of marriage.
“We have been in love from the age of zero,” Ron tells the Telegraph. “We were born in the same maternity hospital – we might have even been born in the same bed.”
It wasn’t fate, necessarily. In fact, Eileen took some convincing before she eventually agreed to marry Ron in 1943.
“I did not think much of Ron at all,” she tells the Daily Mail. “But I did think he looked handsome in his Navy uniform. To be honest, I liked the look of the uniform more than him.”
But 70 years after their wedding day, they can look back and see just how special their bond has been.
“We have had our ups and downs, but we have always got on,” Eileen says.
Adds Ron: “We promised to love, honor and obey – and I did all the obeying.”
Anyway, there’s no backing out now. As Eileen says: “I think we will stay together forever.”
