What’s hot this very minute?

The Duggars family, famous for having 18 children, is not stopping there. Baby 19 will arrive in the Spring and the family couldn’t be happier.

Your hot twoppic of the day is #heavencanwait.  Originally, it was a reference to the band We The Kings, whose new single Heaven Can Wait was released today. Then twitterers starting retweeting #heavencanwait  with their own meanings, like tweeting reason that heaven can wait in their lives, which has nothing to do with the single.  But the frequency of retweets made #heavencanwait a hot twoppic, the perfect example of how the hash tag can be used and abused.

Hot twoppic of the week is Skype. After weeks of speculation, it’s now confirmed: eBay is selling Skype to a group of private investors for $2.75 billion. How will the move affect the Skype calling service? Only time will tell.

Now time for your celebrity tweets on the street, musician edition, where we can get a sneak peak at the life of a rock star preparing to go on tour.

@ThisIsRobThomas tweets starting rehearsals today. after months of talking about playing music, i finally get to play some music. feeling warm and fuzzy.

@ mileycyrus tweets I feel so yucky today. Intense rehearsals are starting up and I have the worst head ache. I just wanna be cuddled. :(

Those are your hot twoppics on FOX News Radio.
