Jewel Pregnant with First Child Just in Time for "Going Platinum"!

Aida Ekberg
Jewel is pregnant with her first child, according to People! The singer/songwriter apparently learned the good news on the first day of her new job co-hosting with Kara DioGuardi on "Going Platinum", a singing/songwriting competition set to air on Bravo sometime this year. The 36-year-old is thrilled to be pregnant after trying for two years.

Of course it could be tough being pregnant and taking on a new job all at once, but Jewel describes herself as a workaholic that has to make herself slow down, so it looks like she should be able to handle the dual responsibility (we're talking about a girl whose golden voice helped her become a mega success after once living in a van, after all). And you know her baby is going to be talented, whether it inherits mom's singing and songwriting capability or daddy Ty Murray's rodeo skills.

And at least being pregnant should give Jewel plenty of inspiration for another collection of songs for children like 2009's "Lullaby" (I'm sure the poet will have plenty to say about being pregnant; anyone is bound to think some pretty amazing thoughts while having a little human being growing inside of them!).

While fans will definitely be looking forward to seeing the creative name Jewel comes up with for her baby, they'll surely enjoy watching the platinum-haired, pregnant songstress judge the new creative Bravo series "Going Platinum" (Jewel's pregnancy could be just what this new show needs to generate buzz). She and Kara DioGuardi will be going beyond shows like "American Idol" by having contestants write new, original songs in a variety of genres, from dance and hip-hop to love songs (and with these talented songwriters judging, you can bet the originality will go far beyond "Pants on the Ground").

Beautiful bombshell Jewel isn't the only blonde with recent baby news; Owen Wilson's girlfriend Jade Duell is also pregnant with the couple's first child (2011 is sure shaping up to be a big year for babies! Want to take bets on who is going to announce that they are pregnant next?).
