Kardashian Farris IT Veep

Bust out the pink balloons – 'cause Kim Kardashianand Kanye West are having a baby girl ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the pregnancy tell us the couple's surrogate is carrying a female bundle of joy.

We broke the stories ... the baby's due in late January by a surrogate Kim and Kanye hired for medical reasons. Kim's placenta accreta condition could kill her if she carries another baby to term.

This will be girl #9 in the Kardashian clan -- not including Kris herself -- and we've learned it bodes well for one of those ladies in particular.

We spoke with a notable child psychologist, who tells us North West and baby #3 will probably form a closer bond than Saint might with his new sis. And the reason's simple: sisters gravitate to their sisters. You don't gotta tell us ... or the Kardashians, either.

Kind of a bummer for Saint, though -- especially since Kim recently said North "does not like" him ... and doesn't seem to be getting past the meanie phase.

Anna Faris will release the memoir and self-help guide Anna Faris Is Unqualified in October, just three months after she and Chris Pratt announced their separation.

With the book’s debut looming, Faris has admitted she is “really, really nervous” given the “intimate” nature of the material. The “Mom” actress reportedly delves into her love life in the memoir, which is still set to include a forward written by Pratt.

“I’m excited and when I first got the book deal, I thought, ‘What a great adventure this is going to be,’ and now that it’s getting closer, I feel nervous in a sense that I’ve always been able to hide behind characters,” Faris explained during the most recent episode of her podcast, which shares a title with the upcoming book. “And now, it’s like, this is me. It feels a little scary.” 

The book, she continued, covers “what I’ve learned from feeling [like] a really quiet kid with headgear, and then suddenly being an actress in LA, and sort of how I haven’t felt comfortable in my own skin, and learning to do that.”

The new reboot of Stephen King’s “It” hasn’t even opened in theaters, but director Andy Muschiettiis already planning for the next installment. The sequel is a near-certainty since King’s book switches off between two storylines, and it’s already known that the film that opens Friday focuses more on the child characters.

Though it has always been planned as a two-part story, Warner Bros. isn’t emphasizing the two movies in marketing materials. Perhaps the studio learned from “The Dark Tower,” which was planned as a movie, TV series and more, but fizzled after the first film disappointed.

However, the movie itself leaves plenty of room for a sequel, not to mention the fact that the title card at the end of the film (MILD SPOILER ALERT) reads “It: Chapter One.”

HBO’s “Veep” will end after its seventh season next year, HBO confirmed on Wednesday night.

The half-hour comedy, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer — a vice president, then president, then ex-president — has been showered with Emmy Awards and praise from critics. Ms. Louis-Dreyfus has won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy five consecutive times for the role, and is up for a sixth award at this year’s ceremony on Sept. 17. If she wins, she’ll also tie Cloris Leachman with eight Primetime Emmy wins.

“Veep” has also won the Emmy for best comedy in each of the last two years, and is nominated again this year.

The Hollywood Reporter reported first that “Veep” was finishing after next season.

“We love the show and everyone involved but respect the producers’ choice to bring Selina Meyer’s journey to its conclusion after an extraordinary run of critical and award-winning acclaim,” said Casey Bloys, HBO’s president of programming, in a statement. “Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ comedic brilliance infused Selina with a dynamic presence and a vibrant wit which will ensure her a place in the history of television’s most iconic comedic characters.”
