So, so excited for WILLIAM & KATE!!!!  Palace officials announced yesterday that the duchess and Prince William are expecting an heir to the throne.

This will be the first grandchild for both the royal and MIDDLETON families.

The duchess was admitted Monday to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with hyperemesis gravidarum (or severe morning sickness), according to a release from the palace. As the pregnancy is in its "very early stages," Kate will stay in hospital for several days, the palace said, and then she will "rest thereafter."

Everything appears to be rosy between KRISTIN CHENOWETH and her new beau JAKE PAVELKA.

"We have been spending a little time together," Chenoweth tells PEOPLE of her dates with the former Bachelor star.

The actress, 44, met her new man, 34, at an event in October and it was not long before the couple was spotted dining together in West Hollywood as well as more recently at a cafe near Pavelka's home in Texas.

NICK LACHEY -- a HUGE Cincinnati Bengals fan -- was escorted out of the stands at the San Diego Chargers football game this weekend ... after security decided his TRASH TALK crossed the line.

It's unclear exactly what Nick said to anger stadium security ... but after he was ejected, the former boy-bander actually BRAGGED about getting the boot, tweeting:

"Just got kicked out of the chargers stadium and couldn't be prouder! Go Cincy Bengals"

Update 2:15 PM PT -- Lachey has issued a statement about the situation on Twitter ... saying, "For the record, i was not kicked out of the chargers game for excessive 'trash talking'. no, that honor belonged to the guy in front of me!"

He added, "I simply don't appreciate someone turning around and putting their finger in my face. Call me crazy, but that deserved a reaction."

Lachey also praised Chargers fans ... saying, "aside from a few exceptions, i had a great time hanging with Charger fans all afternoon. honestly, some of the nicest fans around." 


ROB KARDASHIAN took to Twitter on Monday, claiming an unidentified woman had been unfaithful to him.

"She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes while we were together….
