“Wassup,world? My name is Max Armstrong and I just arrived,” He wrote. “My mommy is healthy and so am I!”

Hours after he finished 12th in the Giro d’Italia grand tour in Rome on Sunday, the cyclist took to his Twitter account to share that he was on his way to Colorado to welcome his fourth child.

“Already at the airport in Rome,” Armstrong posted on Twitter. “Headed home!! Baby #4 any minute now. CaNot wait!”

Armstrong, a cancer survivor, told Usmagazine.com in December that he and Hansen were expecting.

We appreciate [the public] respecting our privacy, as we are both eager to celebrate the holidays as a family.”

Armstrong, 37, has three children from a previous marriage. He is father to son Luke, 9, and 11-year-old twins Isabelle and Grace with his ex-wife Kristin Richards. They had the three children using in vitro fertilization with sperm he had banked before undergoing chemotherapy.

Armstrong’s baby with Hansen — whom he has been dating since July after meeting through his charity work — “was conceived naturally,” a Lance Armstrong Foundation spokeswoman said in a statement to the Associated Press.

mairita---0 Comments

Whitney HoustonThe wait is over: Whitney Houston will release her long-awaited “comeback” album September 1, Sony Music announced Thursday. No album titled was revealed.

It will be Houston’s seventh studio album. (Her last album of original material was 2002’s Just Whitney.)

Despite being hailed by the Guinness Book of World Records as “the most awarded female artist of all time” (she’s won a total of 411 awards – including six Grammys), Houston has made more headlines over the years for her erratic personal life.

She sought treatment for substance abuse and split with longtime husband Bobby Brown in 2006.

But in February, record industry icon Clive Davis told MTV News that Houston is ready for her comeback.

“You wait for the great songs to be written,” he said. “The great hits Whitney has given to the public for so many years — you keep encouraging and setting the bar.”

It’s official: Angelina Jolie is the most powerful celebrity in the world.

So says Forbes magazine’s annual Celebrity 100 list, released today.

The star — who earned $27 million last year — knocked Oprah Winfrey out of the top spot, which the talk show host has held for the past two years.

Winfrey earned a whopping $275 million last year, but Jolie — who was No. 3 in 2008 — still got more press.

Madonna came in No. 3 this year thanks to her Hard Candy tour and all the media coverage surrounding her split form Guy Ritchie and “affair of the heart” with Alex Rodriguez, which Us Weekly first reported.

Beyonce Knowles earned $87 million and ranked No. 4, while Tiger Woods came in at No. 5 with $110 million — making him the highest-paid athlete in the world (despite having to sit out for eight months with a knee injury last year).

Jennifer Aniston came in at No. 8, earning $25 million — and beating ex Brad Pitt, who ranked No. 9 (but took home $28 million).

Barack Obama became the first active president to appear in the list, coming in at No. 49.

Also in the rankings: Ryan Seacrest (No. 44 with $38 million), Miley Cyrus (No. 29) and Taylor Swift (No. 69.)
