Beam her up: Gabby Douglas is back in the gym via Rickey.org Beam her up: Gabby Douglas is back in the gym The Associated Press New balancing act for Gabby Douglas: Olympic champ is back in gym, but no timeline for return Gabby better get ready for Rio 2016! She needs to take the Gold again! – Trey × Gabby Douglas had been looking forward to this appearance for a long time. The Olympic all-around champion returned to the gym Monday, going through her first practice since the London Games after meeting with coach Liang Chow to discuss her comeback plan. “She is very excited to be coming back,” Chow told The Associated Press. “She can’t wait any longer.” Douglas has always said she wanted to continue competing through the Rio Olympics in 2016. She is only 17, and Chow said in London that she hadn’t come close to reaching her potential. (The Olympics were only the fifth international event for Douglas.) But her life has been a whirlwind since London, where she also helped the U.S. win only its second team title. Her Olympic success, dazzling smile and captivating personality turned her into a worldwide celebrity, and she’s been going nonstop since the games ended. She was the AP’s female athlete of the year and one of Barbara Walters’ “10 Most Fascinating People” in 2012. She was the only female on Forbes’ recent list of 10 most influential athletes in the U.S. She had a guest spot on “The Vampire Diaries,” one of her favorite shows, and she performed at the Video Music Awards after walking the red carpet with the rest of the Fierce Five. Douglas and fellow Fierce Five members Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber and McKayla Maroney did a 40-city gymnastics tour last fall, and she’s made dozens of other celebrity appearances. She signed deals with Nike, Kellogg Co. and AT&T, among others, and recently published her second book. Gymnastics was never far from her mind, though, and Chow got the sense from the text messages Douglas would send him that she’d eventually be back in the gym in West Des Moines, Iowa. “She’s the kind of person who wants to be achieving,” he said. “She wants to feel good about her improvement and her goal setting. That’s the attitude Gabby is about and now she can set out a goal and achieve it, through the sport.” Chow wouldn’t put a timetable on Douglas’ return, saying she has to get back in gymnastics shape before they can put a “realistic” training plan together. “I think 2014 is an excellent possibility for competition,” he said. But this won’t be an easy process, Chow said. Gymnastics is a sport that requires hundreds of hours of repetition to perfect skills, and Douglas has been out of action for nine months. “I did warn her, ‘If you think preparing for London was hard, preparing for Rio will be harder.’ There’s many challenges ahead of us,” Chow said. “Also, ‘You’re going to have to have a lot more patience with yourself. Nine months off, you have to get yourself in very good physical condition first before we even talk about the training plan for the next steps.” But Douglas is undeterred. “She understood,” Chow said, “and she is super excited.” Copyright (2013) Associated Press.

Adam Lambert wants to judge ‘American Idol’ – Video via Rickey.org Adam Lambert says that he would judge American Idol next season if FOX asked him. Here’s a video of his press interview after the Idol finale. If Adam ends up as a judge on the show then Idol would truly be dead. The show has already broken up with its connection to the past in Randy Jackson, so I don’t think the powers that be will consider Adam as a judge. Adam also said however that he is now open to appearing on Broadway. Good for him. Broadway might just revive his career. He should have done that years ago. He would have been the biggest star on Broadway and it would have positioned his career from strength to strength. Now it looks like he’s trying to salvage whatever he can.

Jay-Z: Beyonce is not pregnant – Report via Rickey.org Responding to an email by Hot 97′s program director, Jay-Z has said that rumors that Beyonce is pregnant are false. Beyonce pregnancy rumors have reached a fevered pitch, and now, it seems, hubby Jay-Z is trying to douse them. Program Director Ebro Darden of New York’s Hot 97 said today on the radio that he heard from Jay-Z, 43, that reports of Beyonce, 31, being pregnant with their second child are false. Darden, also known as Old Man Ebro, said he emailed Jay-Z on Friday to send his best wishes on Beyonce’s reported second pregnancy, but the rapper responded Saturday by quashing the rumors. “I emailed on some congratulations, send my love to the family, blah, blah, blah,” Ebro said. “He emailed me back and said it’s not true.” According to Darden, Jay-Z wrote: “It’s not true. The news is worse than blogs.” A rep for Jay-Z did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com’s request for comment. Last week, both the New York Post and E! News, citing several sources, reported that Beyonce and Jay-Z were expecting their second child. Pregnancy rumors reached an all-time high on Tuesday when the “Love On Top” singer, 31, canceled a concert in Belgium because of dehydration and exhaustion. The next day, she posted a handwritten apology on Facebook and added, “I’m feeling much better now and I’m ready to give you a great show.” (The singer is currently in the middle of her Mrs. Carter world tour.) Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012. Source: ABC Yes, Jay-Z (if this was you), sometimes the news is even worse than blogs. Now Bey if you’re not pregnant than get this new music out ASAP. The Voice • American Idol • The X Factor
