She’s here, y’all! Kelly Clarkson has given birth to her first child. The American Idol alum and her husband Brandon Blackstock have named their baby girl River Rose.

“Our baby girl River Rose Blackstock arrived on June 12th!” Clarkson tweeted on Saturday, June 14. “Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes! Brandon and I are on cloud 9!! :)”

Clarkson, 32, announced she was expecting a baby back in November 2013. “I’m pregnant!!!” she tweeted on Nov. 19. “Brandon and I are so excited! Best early Christmas present ever.”

Before that happy announcement, the “Tie It Up” singer gushed to Us about wanting to become a mom shortly after tying the knot with Blackstock in October. “More than anything, next I want a baby. Lots of them!” she told Us. “My record label is freaking out because all I can talk about now are babies. We’re really excited and want to get our family started.”

“I’m 31 and we’d like to do it the natural way. My eggs aren’t getting any younger!” she added. “So we’re really excited.”

Indeed, Clarkson went on to proclaim her desire for a baby girl, and eventually got her wish. “We just found out we’re having a girl officially! I knew it!” she tweeted on Jan. 20. “Only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting ha!”

Clarkson stayed under wraps for most of her pregnancy, but finally revealed her baby bump for the first time in months on April 21. The Grammy winner stepped out with her growing belly for an Easter outing in Nashville, Tenn. with Blackstock, 37, at the time.

This is the couple’s first child together. Talent manager Blackstock, whose stepmom is country singer Reba McEntire, is already dad to daughter Savannah, 11, and son Seth, 7, from a previous marriage.

“I want two kids. Two more, that is,” Clarkson said in an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show back in October. “I’ve already got two!”

Casey Kasem has died.

ABC News confirmed that the radio personality died today in a California hospital. He was 82.

Born Kemal Amin Kasem in Detroit, the disc jockey began his career in nearby Flint before becoming an announcer on Armed Forces Radio Korea Network in 1952. Upon his return, he went on to work at radio stations in California, Ohio and New York before launching “American Top 40” in 1970. He hosted that show until 1988, and then a revived version from 1998 until 2004, when Ryan Seacrest took over. From 1988 until 1998, Kasem hosted a show called “Casey’s Top 40.”

“Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars,” was how he ended every program.

“I just didn’t want to say goodbye. Every station I was at, I never said goodbye,” he later explained to the New York Times of his famous sign-off. “I don’t know why.”

Kasem, who was married twice and has four children, also had a colorful TV career, which included doing the voice for Shaggy on “Scooby-Doo” as well as voice-overs for many commercials. A devout vegan, he supported animal rights and environmental causes, as well as political organizations that spoke to him. Originally of Lebanese origin, Kasem felt it was important to improve Arab-Jewish relations.

In recent years, the radio personality’s health declined and in 2013, his daughter Kerri said he was suffering from a form of dementia. Around that time, his three oldest children and brother launched a claim that his wife Jean was not letting them see their father. A court denied a petition his daughter Julie launched to take care of her father in October 2013, but just last month, Kerri was granted conservatorship amid a battle with Kasem’s second wife, her stepmother, Jean.

“It’s a sad day for the broadcasting community and for radio listeners around the world,” said Ryan Seacrest, who took over “American Top 40” from Kasem in 2009, in a statement. “When I was a kid, I would listen to Casey Kasem’s AT40 show every weekend, and dream about someday becoming a radio DJ. So when decades later I took over his AT40 countdown show, it was a surreal moment. Casey had a distinctive friendly on-air voice, and he was just as affable and nice if you had the privilege to be in his company. He’ll be greatly missed by all of us.”
