Forbes magazine is reportedly upset that Bethenny Frankel lied about income from her SkinnyGirl margarita earnings and posed for their cover ranked along with celebrities in the issue. Frankel claimed that she made $120 million off of her cocktail company while financial reports show that it was actually only purchased for $8.1 million, which she split with her partner. Forbes released a statement saying: “We’re taking this very seriously. We based our numbers at the time of reporting on solid sources. We’re aware of the new information [uncovered by HuffPost Celebrity] and we’re looking into it right now,” Dan Bigman, Forbes executive editor, tells me. “We’re going to review all the information thoroughly and talk to Ms. Frankel before taking any steps. If there are any inaccuracies, we’ll correct them. If clarification is required, we’ll do so.”

Hilary Duff revealed that she’s expecting a baby boy!  While filming for the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Duff said that “she had a feeling it was a boy the whole time.” The actress said her pregnancy has been easy overall: “No sickness, but crazy dreams. It’s kind of like a little alien has taken over your body. You just don’t quite feel normal.” Hilary has been married to hockey played Mike Comrie for over a year and the two are so excited for their new bundle of joy due early next year.

Lady Gaga has babies on her brain, but says she is going to wait awhile before becoming a mom. The 25 year old singer said: “”I’m a maternal person but I’m not feeling the urge to be pregnant. Some day I will but not now. Oh my gosh, the fans would kill me. I’m just not ready. I really want to make at least 10 more albums before I do something like that.”

Hugh Jackman has a tradition of buying crew members on his movie sets lottery tickets every Friday! The actor said: “It’s my way of paying taxes. The very first film I did in America, I was embarrassed to say two months in that I didn’t know half of the crew’s names. So I thought that on a Friday afternoon I’ll whip out and by and buy lottery tickets for everyone and hand them out saying it’s an Australian tradition — but it’s not. I buried myself, because from that moment on I have never had a Friday off from filming. If I’m not called, they find a reason to call me. They were terrified that if I don’t turn up, half the crew won’t turn up either! I can tell you right now, do not buy lottery tickets — I’ve been doing this for 10 to 12 years and the most anyone has ever won is $110.” Very generous of him!

Kourtney Kardashian purchased a snake at pet store Fauna in New York City earlier this week. The “big and vicious” snake was supposedly “snapping at the glass of its tank” while being transported to her suite at the Gansevoort Hotel. Kourtney and Kim are currently in NY filming the second season of their reality show “Kourtney & Kim Take New York.”

Pregnancy has inspired Beyonce to expand her House Of Deréon brand to include a maternity line! “I love figuring out designs that still make me feel edgy and sexy while pregnant,” Beyoncé told Bazaar. “Flowy fabrics are always flattering…but I still rock my stilettos.”

Rachel Bilson announced that she’s collaborating with stylist Nicole Chavez to launch a footwear line for ShoeMint.com! The shoes will be moderately priced and available for purchase online this November!

January Jones brought her one-month-old son Xander to the set of Mad Men yesterday, and this first time she’s shown off the little guy. He’s too cute!
