It was Justin Timberlake’s birthday, but it’s another birth date that’s on his mind — that of his future son or daughter. The superstar shared a picture of a bulging belly — presuma b ly belonging to wife, Jessica Biel — on Instagram on Saturday, his 34th birthday. He wrote that he was getting the greatest gift ever this year and added: “CAN’T WAIT.” The sex of the baby is not yet known; the actor-singer joked that the couple is taking bets. The Grammy-winning Timberlake married Biel in 2012. It will be the first child for both. Biel’s pregnancy has been rumored for weeks but Timberlake’s post is the first official confirmati­on.

The daughter of late singer and entertaine­r Whitney Ho u s ton was found unresponsi­ve, facedown in a bathtub Saturday and taken to a hospital in the north Atlanta suburbs, police said. Bobbi Kristina Brown was found by her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend. The friend called 911 while her husband performed CPR on Brown because they did not believe she was breathing nor had a pulse, said officer Lisa Holland, a spokesman for the Roswell, Ga., Police Department. When police arrived, they gave Brown additional care until she was taken alive to North Fulton Hospital. A hospital spokesman did not return repeated messages seeking comment on Brown’s condition. “Right now she’s still alive at the hospital,” Holland said. Brown, 21, is the only child of Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown. A representa­tive for the family did not immediatel­y return messages seeking comment. Whitney Houston was found dead in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012, in Beverly Hills, Calif. The 48-yearold Houston had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had become erratic. Authoritie­s examining Houston’s death found a dozen prescripti­on drug bottles in the hotel suite. They concluded that Houston accidental­ly drowned. Heart disease and cocaine use were listed as contributi­ng factors. Over her career, Houston sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone. Houston had her first No. 1 hit by the time she was 22, followed by a flurry of No. 1 songs and multiplati­num records. Houston left her entire estate to her daughter.
