Congratulations is in order for Robin Thicke, 32, and wife Paula Patton, 33, because they are reportedly expecting their first child together. The high school sweethearts who wed in 2005 – are pictured above at the 2009 Angel Ball in New York City on Tuesday (October 20).

The singer/songwriter was quick to sing Paula’s praises.

She could make a marriage work with a chair,” he says of Patton who is currently shooting the Queen Latifah comedy, Just Wright. “She’s an incredible woman, and she’s very beautiful, so I’m just lucky to be with her.”

In not so happy news, rapper Lil Wayne, 27, pleaded guilty in a Manhattan court room Thursday morning.

He is expected to get atleast a year for the two-year-old gun case and State Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon warned Lil Wayne that he wouldn’t be able later to withdraw the plea, as some people try to do.

“I’m not one of those people,” said the rapper, who sat in court in jeans and a hooded parka. He pulled up the hood and didn’t speak as he left the courthouse with members of his entourage, who piled into four black SUVs. He’s due back in court Dec. 15 before his sentencing date, which has yet to be set.

In related news, he is scheduled for trial in Arizona in March on felony drug possession and weapons charges stemming from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint. He has pleaded not guilty in that case.
