How Pregnant Domino Kirke and Penn Badgley Are Preparing for Twins
Originally appeared on E! Online
Domino Kirke is saying hello to two.
Two months after her husband Penn Badgley announced they are expecting twins, the "Teething" singer shared how they're going with the flow while getting ready to welcome babies no. 3 and 4.
"Everyone is in the same boat, very, very fluid with it," Domino told E! News in an exclusive interview. "I think they're taking my lead. No one's holding on too tight. It's just an expansion—that's what we're here for."
After all, the duola—who shares a 4-year-old son with the Gossip Girl alum, as well as 16-year-old son Cassius with ex Morgan O'Kane—has a lot of experience with motherhood.
This time around is a little different, however, since she and Penn will be going through double the newborn milestones as parents to twin boys.
"It's humbling," Domino reflected. "It's so overwhelming. The idea of two at once, it's one of those things where you just take your hands off the wheel, and you say, 'I'm just on the ride.' That's what pregnancy and childbirth are for me."

What Is a 'Freak Off'? What to Know About the Sex Parties in Sean "Diddy" Combs' Trial
"After attending so many births, it's the thing that you actually can't hold," she continued. "There's so much mystery. You just have to trust. With twins, I'm like, 'Oh, it's that times 1,000' and I'm up for it."
With so much experience and adoration for the birthing process, the music video for her song "Teething" emulated her goal to one day highlight the beauty and reality of the experience—especially for young people.
"There's health class and there's sex education," Domino—whose new album The Most Familiar Star was released in April—explained, "but there's no conversation about how we get here."
The 41-year-old had conversations with her friends born in the '70s, who said they were "freaked out" by seeing videos of women giving birth in high school. However, Domino asserted that they were shown a "gory misrepresentation of birth."
The "Half Blood" singer wanted to shift that perspective with the help of Cassius and other high school students, whose reactions to watching a birth were used as a visual for the song.
"How do I bring my profession and my service that I do outside of music to my music?" Domino, who also directed the video alongside Gregory Mitnick, thought. "I was like, 'Oh, it would be so cool for the one song I really wrote about my clients and my kids simultaneously—if I could find a way to capture that in a visual."
"I did it by bringing this information to my co-director and saying, 'Hey, could we capture the expressions and feelings and reactions and responses of teenagers watching birth?'" she continued. "He thought it was brilliant with the song and it worked really well in the end."
As Penn and Domino prepare to welcome their twin babies, keep reading for a look back at their relationship.

Sydney Sweeney Reacts to Her Used Bathwater Going Viral
Originally appeared on E! Online Sydney Sweeney is soaping up the attention. The Anyone But You star recently made waves—literally—when she announced a partnership with Dr. Squatch for a limited-edition line of bar soaps that include an unusual, key ingredient: her actual bathwater. And in the time since, the collab has made quite the splash online. 'I think it's more fun to see everyone else talk about it,' Sydney admitted to E! News at the premiere of her new film Echo Valley on June 4, adding on how the product came to be, 'I pitched it.' (For more with Sydney, tune into E! News tonight, June 5 at 11 p.m.) After all, as Sydney pointed out in her announcement post, when she first partnered with Dr. Squatch back in December—in a commercial she filmed from a bathtub—fans couldn't get enough. 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad…' she captioned her May 30 post. 'So we kept it.' The end result? A teal-colored bar of soap called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss (available June 6). More from E!

One such endeavor has been her new Apple TV+ film Echo Valley, where the Euphoria star plays daughter to as the two battle to keep a dark secret hidden. It was a project she said gave her 'so many reasons' to say yes. 'The character, Claire, is such a multi-layered, troubled young woman,' she explained. 'And being able to explore a character that has so many dimensional relationships with their mother, it's fun.' And working opposite such a powerhouse like Julianne, which Sydney described as 'such a dream,' was an added perk. 'She is beyond kind,' the Euphoria actress gushed. 'Like one of the kindest human beings I've ever met.' Echo Valley premieres on Apple TV+ June 13.

Bill Maher explains how Trump and Musk went from ‘Brangelina' to ‘Godzilla vs. King Kong'
The fiery feud between President Trump and Elon Musk is the most exciting public breakup since the days of Brangelina, according to Bill Maher. The late-night comedian compared the public warfare and vitriol to that of 'Godzilla vs. King Kong if Godzilla was on ketamine and King Kong had a combover.' The big beautiful break-up is even more shocking because Trump and Musk were 'so close,' like celebrity couples Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie, and Ben Affleck and Jen Lopez, whose seemingly strong but ultimately whirlwind romances gripped tabloids for decades. Advertisement 3 Bill Maher compared President Trump to King Kong if he 'had a combover.' AFP via Getty Images 'They had their own couple name: E-lump,' Maher said. But like the actor pairings, the Musk and Trump demise was a long time coming, he continued. Advertisement 'I can't really think of anything other than the Trump-Elon [fight],' Maher said in his opening monologue Frday for HBO's 'Real Time.' The talk host did a brief rundown of the pair's political breakdown, pinpointing the potential beginning of the end to Trump's meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office last week when Musk showed up sporting a black eye. 3 The feud started when Elon Musk declined Trump's offer to borrow makeup, according to Maher. Getty Images The President claimed he offered makeup to the former Department of Government Efficiency head, but was turned down, which he found 'interesting.' Advertisement 'Yeah, weird, Elon, what sort of man turns down makeup?' Maher chided. The feud slowly simmered as the pair lobbed further accusations against one another, including Musk claiming Trump's tariffs would cause a recession and the President responding that no one wants to buy Tesla's electric vehicles — but 's–t got real' when Musk claimed he was the reason Trump won the election. 3 Trump and Musk had their own couple name, Maher aid: 'E-lump.' MAX 'And Trump said, 'Well, you know what Mars is a s–thole planet.' And Musk said, 'Oh my god, you are not the same man I used to heil,'' Maher said. Advertisement The fighting has only grown worse in recent days, with Musk shockingly claiming on X that Trump's involvement in the Epstein files is the reason they haven't been released. Musk has since deleted the X post. Trump, on the other hand, has tried to play it cool, saying he hasn't given much thought to his former 'First Buddy.' 'The stakes are so high because the winner faces Blake Lively,' Maher joked, referencing the recent public downfall of the actress's previously beloved image. Any good feeling between the two men is likely gone after Musk stepped up his criticism of the Trump-backed 'Big, Beautiful Bill' — and then called for the impeachment of the president and a new political party to challenge the GOP.
