Machine Gun Kelly Shares Message About His, Pregnant Megan Fox's Baby
Originally appeared on E! Online
Machine Gun Kelly has baby on the brain.
The 34-year-old—whose ex Megan Fox is pregnant with their first baby together—shared some insight into his preparation ahead of becoming a father once again.
'Church was right on time today,' MGK—who is dad to 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon—wrote on his Instagram Story Feb. 16, adding alongside emojis of a baby bottle and a man holding a baby, 'Can't wait.'
The words were written over an image of a church stage, which had a message projected which read, 'Your past is not your purpose—your priority is ahead of you.'
The nod to his baby marks a rare occasion for the 'Emo Girl' artist, who has remained relatively mum since Megan announced her pregnancy in November and in the two months since it was reported he and the Jennifer's Body star broke up.
While neither party has commented on their split, MGK did share a look into his wellness journey after the fact—which included some self-reflection.

'He's in his 30s, isn't he?' Brian said of MGK to TMZ in December. 'In your 30s, f--k. Grow up. Like, she's pregnant.'
He then doubled down two months later, writing in a soon-deleted Instagram Story Feb. 2, 'Just be honest for once in your life. Stop caring so much about how you're perceived that you will try and drag other people.'
Following the comments, Brian backtracked, noting speaking publicly in that manner was 'not something that I normally do.'

'But it just really at the time, really got under my skin to read about his sort of take on it,' Brian told People in an interview published Feb. 6. 'So I spoke my mind, but then I've since come to terms with the fact that I won't do that anymore.'
But as the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum previously told TMZ of his ex's breakup, 'I just want the best for her. I'm heartbroken about it because I know she's been so excited and the kids are so excited for life and the change and all of that.'

Somber Ben Affleck leaves restaurant solo after Jennifer Garner's PDA with boyfriend John Miller
Putting his best foot forward. A somber-looking Ben Affleck was pictured leaving a restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Friday night — only hours after photos of his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and John Miller kissing in public emerged online. The 'Accountant 2' star exited Steak 48 wearing a gray cardigan over a blue button-down shirt and dark jeans tucked into his beige boots. Shortly before Affleck's outing, the '13 Going On 30' star was seen locking lips with her longtime boyfriend. Photos shared by TMZ on Friday showed Garner passionately kissing Miller in a steamy embrace outside his Los Angeles home on Thursday. The 'Alias' alum, 53, wore a casual blue plaid shirt and black pants while making out with Miller, 47. She also clutched her keys and a phone during the hot encounter. Garner's PDA moment squashed any hope that she and Affleck might reunite following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez after two years of marriage. Speculation went into overdrive after Affleck, 52, was seen embracing Garner during a family paintball outing in March. 'They really do have a close bond,' a source previously told Page Six of the exes, who share kids Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. While Miller, who's been dating Garner on and off since 2018, supports her co-parenting relationship with Affleck, he felt Affleck 'crossed the line' during the paintball outing, so he issued an ultimatum. 'He doesn't want to see anything like that again or he has no choice but to walk away,' the insider told us in January. Affleck 'would love another chance' with Garner, a source exclusively told Page Six in March. However, he 'respects Jen's relationship with John and would never come between them.' And Garner isn't interested, we're told — she is 'happy' with the CaliBurger CEO. Garner and Affleck were married from 2005 to 2018.

Iran rapper Tataloo, Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, faces death penalty
The tattoos covering Iranian rapper Tataloo's face stand out against the gray prison uniform the 37-year-old now wears as he awaits execution, his own rise and fall tracing the chaos of the last decade of Iranian politics. Tataloo, whose full name is Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, faces a death sentence after being convicted on charges of 'insulting Islamic sanctities.' It's a far cry from when he once supported a hard-line Iranian presidential candidate. Advertisement Tataloo's music became popular among the Islamic Republic's youth, as it challenged Iran's theocracy at a time when opposition to the country's government was splintered and largely leaderless. 6 Iranian rapper Tataloo appears in a courtroom at the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, Iran, on May 7, 2024. AP The rapper's lyrics became increasingly political after the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini and the subsequent wave of nationwide protests. Advertisement He also appeared in music videos which criticized the authorities. 'When you show your face in a music video, you are saying, 'Hey, I'm here, and I don't care about your restrictions,'' said Ali Hamedani, a former BBC journalist who interviewed the rapper in 2005. 'That was brave.' The Iranian Supreme Court last month upheld his death sentence. 'This ruling has now been confirmed and is ready for execution,' judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir told reporters at a press conference last month.

AP From a music video on a warship to exile Tataloo began his music career in 2003 as part of an underground genre of Iranian music that combines Western styles of rap, rhythm-and-blues and rock with Farsi lyrics. His first album, released in 2011, polarized audiences, though he never played publicly in Iran, where its Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance controls all concerts. Advertisement Tataloo appeared in a 2015 music video backing Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and Tehran's nuclear program, which long has been targeted by the West over fears it could allow the Islamic Republic to develop an atomic bomb. While he never discussed the motivation behind this, it appeared that the rapper had hoped to win favor with the theocracy or perhaps have a travel ban against him lifted. In the video for 'Energy Hasteei,' or 'Nuclear Energy,' Tataloo sings a power ballad in front of rifle-wielding guardsmen and later aboard the Iranian frigate Damavand in the Caspian Sea. The ship later sank during a storm in 2018. 'This is our absolute right: To have an armed Persian Gulf,' Tataloo sang. 6 Tataloo began his music career in 2003 as part of an underground genre of Iranian music that combines Western styles of rap, rhythm-and-blues and rock with Farsi lyrics.

Drawing the ire of Tataloo's fans is 'one headache they don't need,' he added.

Iranian rapper Tataloo once supported a hard-line presidential candidate. Now he faces execution
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The tattoos covering Iranian rapper Tataloo's face stand out against the gray prison uniform the 37-year-old now wears as he awaits execution, his own rise and fall tracing the chaos of the last decade of Iranian politics.
