Kim Kardashian Pregnancy Scare?! Find Out the Truth About Kanye West's Girlfriend's Health

No need to worry, dolls! Kim Kardashian and baby Kimye are A-OK.

The New York Post caused a scare Thursday with a report that Kanye West's girlfriend was "rushed" to a doctor Tuesday night and "feared she was having a miscarriage." But, a source close to the mom-to-be tells E! News that while Kim didvisit a doctor, things are "all fine" now.

"She's been working a lot and with the divorce, moving, etc., [she] just needs to take a little rest," adds the source, noting that Kim is on "doctor-ordered rest" for the time being.

Kim's rep had no comment. But—Bible—from us to you, Kim and baby Kimye are both resting happily and healthily.

These Are SUPPOSED To Be Wax Figures Of Beyoncé And Britney Spears

There are deeply inaccurate Beyoncé and Britney Spears wax figures living in Sydney, Australia

We're all about artistic license around here, but we're not sure how to feel about these Beyoncé and Britney Spears wax figures in Sydney, Australia's airport. (Yup! That's who they're supposed to look like...) We've seen plenty of pop star wax statues in our day (remember Katy Perry's, Rihanna's, Selena Gomez's and Justin Bieber's?), so we're going to give our official artistic critique: WHAT. HAPPENED. HERE!?! Ummm... at least they got the MTV VMA trophy right!?

OK, maybe we're being a little hard on the artist who made these 
brutal failures wax renditions. I mean, they were rendered for a good cause -- they're supposed to commemorate Australian Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. And wax can't be an easy medium to work with! Plus, we can only imagine the intense pressure the Madame Tussauds sculptor felt when forging two of the most FLAWLESS/EPIC/TALENTED women in the world. S/he was probably all, "Uhhh, you want me to do what... I'm not EFFING Michelangelo!" Let's just be real. If we saw these two statues chilling in an airport terminal, we'd be posing with them so hard, then Instagramming the ish out of the photos. We'd just use A TON of filters to fool everyone.
