A new reality show focuses on five single moms-to-be who are on the lookout for love.

Pregnant & Dating, which is set to air on WE tv on June 1, follows Kiesha, Shana, Melissa, Megan and Rachel as they hit the dating scene with their ever-growing baby bumps.
 
A press release for the eight-part series, filmed in Los Angeles and North Carolina, states: 'Not even pregnancy will keep these women "out of the game".'
 
Each hour-long installment focuses on the drama that ensues when the group of expectant mothers embark on their quest for Mr Right.
The release explains that their 'slew' of dates are 'both rocky and redeeming.'
 
Some of have the support of their family and friends while others choose to keep their news secret.
Kiesha, an R&B producer based in Los Angeles, got pregnant with a man who she describes as 'just a friend'. He has no idea that she is carrying his baby.
 
Megan's pregnancy was also unplanned. The nail technician, who resides in Orange County, California, found herself 'with child' after an alcohol-fueled night out.
 
While the father wants to be involved, Megan's preference is to go it alone.
Meanwhile Melissa invested time and money in trying for a baby.
 
The stylist from Los Angeles, whose client list includes Shakira and Britney Spears, even turned to artificial insemination at one point as she struggled to conceive. 
 
But now she is set to become a single parent after her boyfriend left her for another woman. 
Television producer, Rachel, who is also based on the west coast is pregnant with twins by her much younger ex-boyfriend.
 
The final woman featured on the show is three-time Miss Hawaiian Tropic winner, Shana.
The blonde-haired model from Charlotte, North Carolina, seeks guidance from her married best friends as she scours the area for a 'good' man.
 
While there are currently no preview clips of show available, commentators have been quick to criticize its stars.
 
One wrote on parenting website Mommy Noire: 'If you can't wait 9 months to focus on delivering a healthy baby, and not waste time looking for a man, all while being knocked up by the next man . . . then something is wrong.'
 
And another added: 'I personally find something wrong with it. The mother should be focusing on herself and the baby's well-being and not worried about finding the next man.'

The 600-capacity venue will be located at Boulevard Jumeirah Emirates Towers, according to Fashion TV’s website.

The venture, Studio F, will be a professional fashion studio by day, with a range of classes, tutorials and events. As the sun sets, it becomes a restaurant until 11pm, and then turns into a bar.

In line with Dubai’s reputation for its VIP services, Studio F will be a VIP lounge with bottle table service and international DJs.

“I am very excited by the opportunity to bring Fashion TV’s after-dark energy to the Emirates in the form of Studio F,” Gulf News quoted Michel Adam, the station’s president, as saying.

“Dubai is the natural home of luxury, fashion and style, and it is fitting that Fashion TV has a new home here.”

Kim Kardashian isn't letting her pregnancy keeping her out of a bikini, or away from a camera lens for that matter.

Kim, who's expecting Kanye West's baby, wore an off-white knitted robe when she stepped out on the sand in Miami Beach on Sunday

Kim, 32, seems to have a more positive outlook on the lurking paps than her show biz pal Justin Bieber, as she jokingly uploaded a pic of a sleeping photographer who missed taking the lucrative shots of her world famous curves.

"This pap fell asleep on the job missed my whole Miami Beach photo shoot!!!" she wrote.

The news of Kim's pregnancy leaked during papa-to-be Kanye's concert at Atlantic City's Revel Resort last month, when the 35-year-old hip-hop king called Kim "my baby mama" during the show, telling her, "Now you having my baby!"

Kanye and Kim have been dating since March. Kim, who's 13 weeks pregnant, is technically still married to Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries.
 

Is Kris Humphries ‘legally’ the father of Kim K’s baby, according to California law?

There was some bru-ha-ha this week about the “legal” paternity of Kim Kardashian’s baby when TMZ noted that California law presumed a woman’s husband to be the father of her child. They went on to add that Kim and Kanye would have to provide “clear and convincing evidence” if Kris were to challenge them on that.

This is all ridiculous because it’s obvious that Kris Humphries is not the father of Kim’s baby and simple paternity test could prove that, but it turns out that TMZ’s interpretation of California law was a bit off as well. In California, presumption of fatherhood for a husband also requires cohabitation, something that definitely isn’t going on (and appeared to not be going on too well while they WERE together.)

A California family law attorney told The HuffPo:

“California law is clear that when a child is born to a married couple the presumption of fatherhood is in favor of the husband, but that assumes they are living together, cohabitating in legal terms. Since Kim and Kris are separated the presumption of Kris as the father would not apply. I imagine that when baby Kimye is born, Kim will name Kanye as the father and he will sign a Declaration of Paternity just like thousands of other unmarried couples do to protect the rights of the baby to have both loving parents in his/her life forever.”

Whew, now we can all sleep tonight and enjoy our weekends knowing that Kris Humphries isn’t “legall” Kim Kardashian’s baby’s daddy.
