Amber Rose has been spotted out and about recently sporting an obvious baby bump. Radar Online reported last week that the pregnancy was unexpected, but that both Amber and her boyfriend Wiz Khalifa are happy about it.
"Amber and Wiz unexpectedly got pregnant, but they're really happy to be starting a family together," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. "Amber's already had to make some big lifestyle changes, like not smoking cigarettes anymore. As a model she's used to having a thin waist, so this is going to be an adjustment for her."
It will be the first child for both Wiz and Amber. The only question now is how soon the happy couple will be walking down the aisle.
The couple got engaged back in March. Wiz was quick to Tweet the news to the world.
“She said Yes!!!” he Tweeted, not holding back his enthusiasm.
Do you think they will get married before the baby arrives? Will their marriage be solid like Jay-Z and Beyonce's or crash and burn like Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries?

PHILADELPHIA -- Jay Electronica is finally inching closer to dropping his debut album Act II: Patents of Nobility, and on Saturday (September 1) the Roc Nation rapper made a rare public appearance, to perform at Jay-Z's Made in Americafestival. Judging by the fact that Jay Elect had to fight his way out of the crowd after the set, it's clear that his public is still looking out for him, and maybe that's why he reached out to his Roc Nation boss for a spot on the lineup.
During the final minutes of his performance, the New Orleans native jumped into the crowd to get better acquainted with fans and it took him quite awhile to fight his way out. When he finally emerged, he explained that he actually hit up Jay-Z about performing at the Philadelphia festival. "Actually I sent him an email saying, 'You didn't ask me to perform at Made in America,'' Elect told MTV News, laughing at his boss' reply. "He's like, ' Ohh, you still perform? Ha.' You know. He always has jokes like that. "
Jay Electronica has been largely absent from the spotlight in recent months, making fans question whether or not they would ever see his Roc Nation album materialize, but this performance was part of the process.
"It's Jay's festival and it's Philly at the same time, it's a good way to get my feet back wet," he said. "I've been missing from the stage for a long time. It's a good way to come back."
His set for the night included "Abracadabra," "The Ghost of Christopher Wallace," "Eternal Sunshine," and "Exhibit C"which were punctuated by shoutouts to Philly, some political commentary and plenty of acapella verses. He thanked Philly for their support when his hometown New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina and in the same breath accused the government of destroying the levees and having a hand in the 9/11 attacks.
However bold his statements were, the crowd still continued to rock with him and they were likely more surprised by the last bombshell he dropped before he hopped off the stage. Although a recent tracklist for Act II showed features from Jay-Z, Kanye West and even his ex Erykah Badu, Elect announced that his next single would feature Chris Brown, and that's all he would reveal for now.

Tommy “Tiny” Lister, a character actor who has appeared in nearly 100 movies including "Friday," “Jackie Brown” and “Beverly Hills Cop II,” has agreed to plead guilty to a mortgage fraud scheme that cost banks $3.8 million.
The 54-year-old actor entered the plea agreement Friday, the same day prosecutors charged him with conspiring from 2005 to 2007 to buy homes he could not afford and to withdraw more than $1.1 millioncash in home-equity loans that were not repaid.
Prosecutors accused Lister and five other people — a real estate agent, a mortgage loan officer, a bank manager, an escrow officer and an accountant — of using falsified records to help Lister unlawfully acquire four homes for $5.7 million.
Lister, who lives in Chatsworth, defaulted on the loans. Banks later sold them at a loss of more than $2.6 million, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a news release.
Lister was also accused of sumbitting falsified W-2 forms and a fake pay stub in his application for the home equity lines of credit.
He agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Los Angeles to conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. He has not yet entered a plea.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service.

50 Cent flew out to Berlin to take part in the IFA consumer electronics show. The trade show which opened on August 31st and runs through September 5, has more than 1,400 exhibitors showcasing the newest smartphones, home appliances, televisions and more.
50 was there to help raise awareness of his SMS Audio Headphone line.
"I wanted to make sure I was presenting something to the general public that didn't actually exist on the market at that time," 50 told Radio Bremen. "The marquee product from SMS Audio is the Sync By 50. It utilizes a 16-bit lossless wireless technology that allows you to be 50 feet away from a single source of music. And you can sync four of these headsets up. It has an on board bass booster. Fast forward and rewind control for the headset and volume up and volume down. And of course durability is one of the things I was conscious of immediately because I previously had so many high quality headsets and audio equipment break on me."
50 also talked about the charitable aspect of the headphones. For each pair that is purchased 250 meals are provided through Feeding America. With Street King energy drink 50 partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). For every drink that is sold a meal is provided through the organization.
50 confirmed that his new album Street King Immortal will be in stores November 13th. Of course the single off of that project is "New Day" which features Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys. He said there will be a tour to coincide with the release of the album.
