Rihanna reveals pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime show

Are you ready for some babies? Rihanna has made a play for the title of decade's best pregnancy reveal by performing during the Super Bowl halftime show while expecting her second child. The "Umbrella" singer wore an outfit that was seemingly meant to accentuate her belly, leading everyone in America to immediately Google "is Rihanna pregnant?" After the performance, the singer's representative confirmed she is, making her the first pregnant woman to perform in the Super Bowl halftime show. Rihanna welcomed her first child with A$AP Rocky last May and has said she wants "three or four" kids. She had hinted at a surprise halftime show guest, teasing, "I'm thinking about bringing someone" — apparently meaning her second child. This comes after Keke Palmer revealed her pregnancy on Saturday Night Live, so at this point, it's going to be disappointing if someone doesn't show off a baby bump during the Oscars to complete the trifecta.

Megan Fox reportedly 'won't speak to' Machine Gun Kelly after a fight

Is Megan Fox's romance with Machine Gun Kelly out of ammo? The actress appeared to hint in a cryptic Instagram post that she and the rapper have broken up after getting engaged last year. Fox shared the Beyoncé lyrics "you can taste the dishonesty/it's all over your breath" along with video of an envelope burning in a fire. Another photo showed Fox standing in front of a poster directed towards human trafficking victims that says "when you can't walk away." One fan commented that Kelly "probably got with Sophie," suggesting he cheated on her with musician Sophie Lloyd. "Maybe I got with Sophie," Fox responded, eventually deleting her Instagram account. A source told People they "haven't officially called off the engagement" but that Fox "took her ring off" after a fight over the weekend and now "won't speak to" Kelly — though given their history, the possibility that this is all part of some sort of blood ritual shouldn't be ruled out.

Blake Lively welcomes 4th child with Ryan Reynolds

Rihanna wasn't the only one who had a lively Super Bowl weekend. Blake Lively appeared to confirm that she and Ryan Reynolds have welcomed their fourth child together, sharing a photo Sunday on Instagram in which she has no baby bump — and in the caption, she said she has "been busy." A report from Page Six subsequently confirmed that Lively did, in fact, give birth. She previously revealed she was expecting another child in September. Lively and Reynolds haven't announced the name of their fourth child together, though Taylor Swift fans have a theory that it's Daisy May. Swift is famously friends with Lively and Reynolds and referenced their other kids' names — James, Inez, and Betty — on her album Folklore, while Daisy May was a name dropped on Midnights in the song "You're on Your Own, Kid." Hey, that's a much stronger option than the alternative name, Snow on the Beach Reynolds.

Leslie Grace denies the 'Batgirl' movie was too terrible to be released

The woman who would be Batgirl is speaking out. Batgirl star Leslie Grace has given her first extensive interview since the DC film was scrapped last year despite already being shot. Speaking to Variety, the actress revealed she learned about the decision "like the rest of you" when the New York Post broke the news, "and then my phone just started blowing up." New DC boss Peter Safran recently said the film was "not releasable," but Grace insisted this isn't the case. "The film that I got to see — the scenes that were there — was incredible," she claimed. Grace revealed there have been "conversations about Batgirl's future and how Batgirl can make a resurgence," also expressing hope that "maybe we'll get to see clips of" the movie. The interview comes after Warner Bros. aired a Super Bowl ad for DC's The Flash, which will be released despite star Ezra Miller being accused of assault, burglary, grooming, and running a cult.

'Joker 2' extras reportedly complaining about lack of bathroom breaks

More like folie à deuce. Extras on the upcoming Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, have been complaining about "not being allowed to use the bathroom or drink water" while filming for more than two hours at a time, TMZ reports. Some extras have allegedly been "berated" for asking to use the bathroom, and one person was apparently told they had to "state their case" for why it was an emergency. This isn't even the first time a Joker movie has had bathroom-related production drama, as TMZ reported in 2018 that extras on the first film peed on subway tracks after being locked in a train filming for over three hours. Now, background extras on the sequel "fear repercussions" for asking to use the bathroom, and SAG reportedly investigated a complaint about a "break time violation," per TMZ. Some men just want to watch the world pee its pants.
