Robert De Niro, Oscar winner and toddler dad, is apparently a ‘Ms. Rachel' fan
The Oscar winner opened up about spending quality time with his daughter, revealing on a recent episode of Sirius XM's Radio Andy that he and his daughter love to watch kids TV and internet shows together.
'Ms. Rachel,' 'The Wiggles' and 'Blippi' are just a few of the shows De Niro listed off, saying that he and his daughter had watched 'Ms. Rachel,' a popular children's show led by educator and YouTuber Rachel Griffin Accurso, earlier that morning.
''The Wiggles' are sort of cheap,' he told host Andy Cohen. 'But 'Ms. Rachel,' we started with it and still stay with it.'
The 'Alto Knights' star went on to say that his young daughter is becoming 'more discerning because she's seen it so many times.'
'We're waiting for new episodes and new skits and new music things that they do,' he said.
De Niro and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen welcomed Gia in 2023.
'She's such an adorable baby. So sweet,' the 81-year-old said in a 2024 interview with People. '(When I) look at her, everything else goes away. So it's a great joy and relief to just be with her in the moment.'
Gia is De Niro's seventh child. He shares two adult children with his ex-wife Diahnne Abbott and two adult sons with ex-girlfriend, Toukie Smith.
De Niro was also previously married to Grace Hightower before they split in 2018. The pair are parents to a son and a daughter.

Jessa Duggar waited a week before naming her newborn son. Here's what she chose
The Duggar family tree has grown by one — and now we know the name of the newborn baby. Jessa Duggar, the fifth child and third daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of '19 Kids and Counting,' welcomed her sixth child with husband Ben Seewald on July 26, per her Instagram. The reality star turned influencer has since been telling her birth story in a series of YouTube videos. In the third installment of the series, published Aug. 8, Jessa Duggar joked that they should name the newborn baby boy 'Pork Chop' because he weighed 10 pounds, 1 ounce at birth. 'But since that's not on the name list, what else?' she said in the video. As Duggar and Seewald were sitting in the hospital, they were trying to decide between Owen, Edward and Calvin for the first name and Patrick and Athanasius for the middle name. On Aug. 11, Jessa Duggar released the fourth installment of the series and revealed that two of the first names made the cut — but neither of the middle names did. The name they chose? Edward Owen Seewald. 'We liked the sound of Edward from pretty early on in this pregnancy,' Seewald said toward the end of the video. The name was also a big hit with the couple's other kids. 'We always like historical names, too, so there's some historical significance with Edward,' he added while name-dropping preacher and philosopher Jonathan Edwards and King Edward VI of England. According to Behind the Name, Edward is an Old English name that means 'rich guard' via the elements 'ead,' meaning 'wealth,' and 'weard,' meaning 'guard.' Other historical baby names for boys include Henry, William, Charles, George, Richard, Thomas, James, Robert and Francis. As for Owen, Seewald said he was drawn to the name because of John Owen, one of his 'favorite theologians.' Owen either means 'well born' in Welsh or 'yew tree' in Irish, per Behind the Name. Both names were included in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 most popular boy names of 2024 with Owen ranking 26th and Edward ranking 228th. The couple are also parents to sons Spurgeon, 9; Henry, 8; and George, 19 months, and daughters Ivy, 6, and Fern, 4, according to People. While they have since settled on a name for baby No. 6, Duggar and Seewald said that it took them nearly a week to come to an agreement. At the beginning of their Aug. 11 video, the couple are in the hospital when Duggar asks her husband if they've settled on a name. 'We've been trying,' he responded. 'But Jess is on the pills and her mind is foggy. She's a little nervous to pick a name when she's not thinking as clearly as she could.' By the time they were ready to pack up and leave the hospital, their baby was still without a name. 'They told us we have nine days from birth to let them know,' Duggar said. 'Hopefully it doesn't take that long,' Seewald added. In the car ride back home, Duggar said leaving the hospital without a name gives them an opportunity to try out each of the names on their list for a day or so to see how it fits. 'Sometimes you've just got to see their face and maybe even test some names out for a few days,' Seewald said. 'But we finally made up our mind.' According to Jessa Duggar, kids Spurgeon, Henry, George, Ivy and Fern were on board with the name. 'The kids are very excited. They were rooting for Edward,' Duggar said.

Timothée Chalamet's new movie ‘Marty Supreme' spent $12M filming in Jersey. See trailer, locations.
First he was Dylan. Now he's a table tennis champion. In 'Marty Supreme,' Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet stars in another period movie inspired by a true story. Like James Mangold's 'A Complete Unknown' — the 2024 Bob Dylan film that won Chalamet a Screen Actors Guild Award — this movie will be released on Christmas. And like the Dylan film, the upcoming Chalamet movie filmed in New Jersey (see details and locations below). Directed by Josh Safdie ('Uncut Gems'), 'Marty Supreme" sees Chalamet play a character named Marty Mauser. The movie takes a cue from the life of Marty Reisman, who was a table tennis champion starting in the 1940s. The United States Table Tennis Hall of Famer, who died in 2012, wrote the 1974 memoir 'The Money Player: The Confessions of America's Greatest Table Tennis Player and Hustler.' A24 released the first teaser trailer for 'Marty Supreme' Wednesday. Chalamet, 29, who is also a producer, stars alongside Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1950s-set movie, written by Safdie and his frequent collaborator Ronald Bronstein ('Uncut Gems'). Tyler Okonma, the Grammy-winning artist known as Tyler, The Creator, makes his film debut in 'Marty Supreme.' Fran Drescher, 'The Nanny' favorite and president of the Screen Actors Guild, plays the mother of Chalamet's character. The cast also includes magician Penn Jillette, Sandra Bernhard, Abel Ferrara, Odessa A'zion ('Hellraiser,' 'Fresh Kills') and 'Shark Tank' shark Kevin O'Leary. 'Marty Supreme' spent $12 million in New Jersey, receiving a $4.2 million tax credit, the state Economic Development Authority tells NJ Advance Media. The film reportedly had a budget somewhere in the vicinity of $70 million, making the movie one of A24's biggest spends. The production, which mostly filmed in New York, spent 10 days in Jersey last fall, from late September to November. It was not nearly as extensive a local shoot as 'A Complete Unknown' — which filmed in 20 New Jersey cities and towns in 10 counties, spending $80 million in the state — but still represents five counties (Bergen, Burlington, Passaic, Mercer and Union). 'Marty Supreme' filming locations include the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford; a private home on Ellisdale Road in Chesterfield Township, Burlington County; 126 Market St. in Paterson; and Hopewell Borough's post office. Chalamet's Marty and Dylan universes collided at another Jersey location. One local spot where Chalamet filmed both 'A Complete Unknown' and 'Marty Supreme': Elizabeth's Ritz Theatre.

Miley Cyrus Says She's Got Something ‘Really Special' Planned For ‘Hannah Montana' 20th Anniversary
Miley Cyrus can't quit Hannah Montana. The singer who rose to fame playing the teen who secretly moonlighted as pop star Montana on the show that debuted on the Disney Channel on March 24, 2006, told SiriusXM's TikTok Radio recently that she's working on something 'really, really special' to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary. 'I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today,' Cyrus said to host Chris Olsen about the show's March 2026 anniversary. 'Without Hannah, there really wouldn't be this kind of… this me. It's so crazy to think, too, that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed. And now that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood, but I've now been as kind of integrated into everyone's life as the character itself. So that's exciting to get to celebrate that.'
