Eminem becomes a grandpa as daughter Hailie Jade welcomes first baby — and pays homage to rapper with name
Eminem is officially a grandfather! The rapper's daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14 with husband Evan McClintock. Elliot's middle name, Marshall, pays tribute to his grandfather, who was born Marshall Mathers III.
Scott shared a series of snapshots of her bundle of joy on Instagram in celebration of his "three weeks earthside."
The Real Slim Shady revealed he would be Grandpa Shady late last year in the music video for his song "Temporary." The video consisted of archival home footage of Scott, now 29, as a young child, complete with vignettes from her recent wedding to McClintock in May 2024. Scott presented her father with a jersey that says "grandpa" in the music video before surprising him with an ultrasound photo of baby Elliot.
On an October 2024 episode of her podcast, Just a Little Shady, Scott and her best friend and podcast cohost, Brittany Ednie, recalled hiding news of her pregnancy during her wedding. "People did not know that she was pregnant," Ednie said. "So she was grabbing a drink, not consuming the drink as a responsible parent does. Whenever people were turned around, she would hand me her drink, and I would chug so it looked as if she was continuously drinking throughout that night."Eminem is also a father to Alaina and Stevie Laine Scott, whom he helped raise with ex-wife Kim Scott. "Takin' the kids to school, pickin' 'em up, teachin' 'em rules. I'm not sayin' I'm the perfect father, but the most important thing is to be there for my kids and raise them the right way," the rapper said of fatherhood in a conversation with Rolling Stone in 2004. He has also credited his children for helping him remain sober, telling New York Times Magazine that they've "helped me through so many things."

'90s Celebs Who Disappeared
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share which '90s stars once seemed destined for greatness but have since faded from the spotlight — whether by choice or not. Here are 16 of their top responses: "Skeet Ulrich." —angrygoose681 Skeet was a '90s horror icon with his roles in Scream and The Craft. He continued to work steadily, but after his twins were born in 2001, he made them his priority. In 2005, he got a divorce and won custody of the kids, so he decided to be a stay-at-home single dad because he could afford it. In 2019, he told Fatherly, "Being a parent has driven me to make the decisions I've made. I did work, but I would only work in Los Angeles until Riverdale. The kids would be there with me. I hired a nanny once when I was doing the first season of Jericho. They were starting kindergarten, and I hired a nanny once more when I did Law & Order. That's it. A screaming kid is screaming for boundaries, screaming for something they know. They need a parent to step up." "Stuart Townsend, but that's his own fault because that ego is too big." —justineh4c2cc065d With his star on the rise, Stuart was set to play Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings in the early '00s. However, one day before filming began, he was replaced by Viggo Mortensen. He was reportedly fired for being difficult to work with, and Ian McKellan allegedly asked him if he even wanted to be there. However, Stuart has a different opinion on what happened. In 2005, he told Entertainment Weekly, "Two weeks ago I finally read an article where the filmmakers said, ''We were totally wrong about Stuart, and we accept that it was our fault,' which was so nice because I did get shafted up the ass. I was there rehearsing and training for two months, then was fired the day before filming began. After that, I was told they wouldn't pay me because I was in breach of contract due to not having worked long enough. I had been having a rough time with them, so I was almost relieved to be leaving until they told me I wouldn't be paid. I have no good feelings for those people in charge, I really don't. The director [Peter Jackson] wanted me and then apparently thought better of it because he really wanted someone 20 years older than me and completely different." "Rick Moranis is a famous example of this, albeit a bit more '80s than '90s. He had a very successful career, including Ghostbusters, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (and its sequels), Little Shop of Horrors, etc., but then he slowed down his work after his wife died of cancer so he could be a more attentive single parent to their two kids. Now the kids are grown, and we're all anxiously awaiting his return to our screens with the Spaceballs sequel! Also — shout out to his Barney Rubble in the live action Flintstones movie (it's worth a Google to remember that killer cast)." —braccolirob In 2015, Rick told the Hollywood Reporter, "I took a break, which turned into a longer break. But I'm interested in anything that I would find interesting. I still get the occasional query about a film or television role...I was working with really interesting people, wonderful people [in Hollywood]. I went from that to being at home with a couple of little kids, which is a very different lifestyle. But it was important to me. I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. My life is wonderful." "Jonathan Taylor Thomas for sure! He was super talented and had that X factor about him. I wish he would make a comeback. The actor who played Jill on Home Improvement [Patricia Richardson] was on a podcast last year where she said she still spoke to him and said he has no desire to return to acting, and I respect him for that. I hope he is living his best life." —Anonymous, 39, Tennessee Jonathan exited Home Improvement before the series ended, appearing in only three episodes of the final season. Trading acting for academia, he attended Columbia, Harvard, and St. Andrew's University. In 2013, he told People, "I'd been going nonstop since I was 8 years old. I wanted to go to school, to travel, and have a bit of a sit in a big library amongst books and students — that was pretty cool. It was a novel experience for me." "Jamie Walters is now a firefighter, IIRC. He had a hit single and seemed to be a rising star, but he played Donna Martin's abusive boyfriend on 90210 so well that it damaged his career. He seemingly couldn't get hired." —abby-rose Jamie quit acting to become a firefighter in Los Angeles. In 2024, he told The US Sun, "A lot of years have gone by, and I don't think people are expecting when the fire department shows up that the guy in uniform might be somebody from a TV show in the '90s. I'm thankful that I was able to switch gears and do something that I'm proud of and that my kids find interesting and cool. I still have a lot of friends that are in that business, but it's a tough business. Unless you're doing well, it's a struggle to raise a family." "I started having second thoughts about this [acting] career path, and I'd always been interested in becoming a firefighter. The more I researched, I was like, oh man, it's hard to get this job. This is really competitive. It took like three years, the process, from the time you take the written and you have medical exams, background checks, psychological, more physical agility checks. I finally got my job offer to come to the training academy in 2003," he said. "Jasmine Guy." —Bulky-Cauliflower921 Best known for A Different World, Jasmine has continued working, mainly in smaller TV roles and made-for-TV movies. Following her divorce in 2008, she relocated to Atlanta with her daughter. In 2010, she told Creative Loafing, "I wasn't working enough in LA and kept leaving LA to work. When my daughter was younger, I had no issue with taking her out of preschool, since I know my colors and my ABCs, and could teach her those. But once she got older – she's 10 years old now – I had to decide what's the best lifestyle for her. Atlanta is easier for transportation, money, food, rent, jobs. And I found it more loving, more embracing. Because I grew up here, I knew what will happen for a young person who lives here. I found LA to be a more separate city, and I hated that separation. I want her to grow up around all kinds of people." "Bridget Fonda." —AllyBILM According to the Independent, Bridget Fonda retired from acting in 2002. She had actually signed on to a recurring role on The Practice in 2003, but after "miraculously" surviving a car accident a few weeks before the series went into production, she was replaced. In 2023, she reportedly told a paparazzo at an airport that she wouldn't return to acting because "it's too nice being a civilian." "Shane McDermott. A handful of TV appearances and one movie (with Jack Black and Seth Green), and he noped right out of Hollywood and became a realtor." —luxahoy Shane became known for his roles in Airborne, All My Children, and Swans Crossing. However, he reportedly stopped acting because he wanted to lead a simpler life and start a family. Now based in Texas, he's an artist as well as a realtor. "Leelee Sobieski. She was hugely popular in the '90s with films such as Deep Impact and Never Been Kissed. Then she retired from acting in the 2010s to focus on her family and art career. —gaelicmaiden In 2018, Leelee told AnOther, "A lot of the time when you work, it's a money project basically. I started paying the rent on our house when I was 15, so I had a lot of pressure and things got complicated for me… So when I could, I stopped. It's kind of a gross industry – well, they all are, when you examine them – but in acting, you're selling your appearance so much. I would cry every time I had to kiss somebody; I couldn't stomach it. I would think, 'I like this person, so I don't think they should pay me to kiss them,' or 'I don't like this person, so I don't want to kiss them. Why is my kiss for sale?' It made me feel really cheap." "It didn't matter whether people thought it was an admirable thing to do – in my soul I thought, 'My kiss is not for sale' – it might have been acting, but it was real for me as it was my first or third kiss, so it was confusing for me. I don't know why it's legal for a child to act unless they can sell oranges or whatever legally too. It's a crazy double standard, and that's super weird for me. Now that the #MeToo movement has come forward, people understand more that it's pretty gross and uncomfortable," she said. "Richard Grieco." —Jock7373 Richard is known for his roles in 21 Jump Street, Mobsters, and If Looks Could Kill. While he's done a few smaller acting roles over the years, he's also become known for his paintings. He describes his work as "Abstract Emotionalism." In 2012, he told Chron, "Dennis Hopper told me my artwork was too good to just hang on walls. He said I needed to get out and show it." "Richey Edwards." —lovelychicken23 The Main Street Preachers' lyricist and rhythm guitarist was known for his incredible talent as well as his outspokenness about social issues. However, he also very publicly dealt with mental health issues. In 1995, the day before the band's US tour was set to kick off, he disappeared. He left his hotel in London, dropped his passport, prescription, and credit card at his home in Cardiff, then drove to a service station near a bridge in the small town of Aust. The car was found at the station, but Richey was never seen again. In 2008, he was legally declared dead — something his parents had the option to do since 2002, but they held out hope that he'd faked his own death to escape the pressure of the spotlight. "Didn't Jason Patric kinda fizzle out?" —waxmuseums "Jason Patric decided very early on in his career that he wasn't interested in being famous at all — that happened when he dated Julia Roberts, and the spotlight was on both of them for a minute. He's still working in films today, and definitely had the talent and good looks to be a bigger star, but he maintained that he was just happier without the fame thing. There are some actors who love the work but just prefer not to be in the spotlight." —sappydark In 1992, while he was still dating Julia, Jason told the Oklahoman, "It's a persona that one has to deal with that's largely speculative and out of control. I don't subscribe to People magazine, and I don't know what George and Edna think in Illinois, but I haven't been invited over anyway. I've been forced into a glare at times that certainly was not my creation... The idea is that because you have fame or money, you have no right to privacy, that somehow that's been forfeited. If you go to the other end of the spectrum and say someone who makes under $20,000 a year has no protection and no privacy, you'd have your head handed to you. The idea of the human being has been forced out the window." And in 2003, he told the Irish Independent, "I knew dating [Julia] would be trouble. I just didn't know how much of an impact it would have on my privacy, because I'm such a private person. What happened was the ultimate nightmare. I'd worked for six years on my career to be as anonymous as possible, and in the space of a few weeks, I was one of the most public people in the world just because I was dating a famous person who enjoyed being in the media spotlight. There is celebrity that comes with fame. There's no question about it. I don't bemoan that. However, don't come into my house, don't bother me at a non-public event. But if I use my personal life to advance my fame, then I owe you my personal life. If I invite People magazine to the wedding, then they're invited to the divorce as well." "Edward Furlong." —Tasty-Celery9082 After rising to fame in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Edward reached teen idol status in the '90s. However, in the following decades, his career declined to mainly straight-to-DVD releases as he faced a series of substance abuse problems and legal issues, including a DUI and several alleged instances of domestic abuse. When he returned to the Terminator franchise in 2019, the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence director of programs, Jacquie Marroquin, told the Hollywood Reporter, "It's important not to sweep Edward Furlong's reported history of domestic violence under the rug just because he's returning to a beloved movie role... There are consequences for survivors, who may think twice about seeking help when they see people who harm gaining fame or power without being held accountable by their fans and peers." "Anybody remember Dan Cortese, the rock climbing himbo from Seinfeld?" —Aromatic-Bath-5689 Dan has worked consistently, but he dealt with typecasting. In 2009, he told Greg in Hollywood, "It is one of those things with television where it's, 'Dan's great at playing the good-looking, dumb guy, that's what he does. If you need a good-looking, dumb guy who can hit his mark and hit the punchline, he's your guy.' It is tough to play against type... I always want to play against type. The fact that I've basically made my living as a television actor. In television, you tend to get pigeonholed, where they'll be like, 'You know who we need for this? We need Dan because Dan plays that guy.' But I would love to have like a film role where I could play completely against type. I love dark movies; I like dark comedies. Anything like that." "Kari Wuhrer played the part of Gina Lempke in the Stephen King movie Thinner (1996) and was a part of the ensemble in Anaconda (1997). She also spent a year on Beverly Hills, 90210 in the mid-'90s. But I can't tell you the last time I heard her name." —Anonymous, 41, Pennsylvania Kari was a working actor through the '90s, '00s, and 2010s. She last appeared in the made-for-TV movie Fiancé Killer in 2018. She's active on Instagram, where she shares her life as a dedicated mother. And finally: "Jewel — she was so major, like Taylor Swift! And now nothing…" Jewel took a two-year hiatus following the success of her second album, and she later took a seven-year break before releasing her most recent album in 2022. She told Spin, "I couldn't psychologically adjust to the amount of fame that I got to. By the time I was on the cover of TIME, it didn't work for me. It was really psychologically crushing, and so giving myself two years to contemplate, 'How do I do this? Can I do this? Does this make me happy?' and developing a career and a strategy that upheld my number one goal, which was to make sure my mental health was the priority. Then my number two goal was I want to make the records I want, how I want, in the genre I want, that's going to be how it is. It's going to be an adventure." "The choices I made in my career, especially in the '90s, were considered suicidal–career suicide. Taking two years off at the height of my fame was a huge no-no. Switching genres was a huge no-no, but it's what I needed to do to keep myself psychologically healthy and creatively healthy. I had to deal with a lot of people saying, 'Oh, she's washed-up. She doesn't know what to do for her third album.' Completely misunderstood, and to make sure that didn't bother me, and that's your decision. It has to be water off a duck's back. You persevere because you believe you made the right decision," she said. Are there any other actors you thought would be major stars, but their careers never quite took off?

Former Pixies Bassist Paz Lenchantin Stages Mini Perfect Circle Reunion on New Single ‘Hang Tough'
Paz Lenchantin, who played bass in the Pixies between 2014 and 2024 following stints in Zwan and A Perfect Circle, is re-launching her solo career with the upcoming LP Triste. The album arrives October 17, and she's just dropped leadoff single 'Hang Tough' along with a video. 'I had to make this record on my own,' Lenchantin says in a statement, 'not to prove anything, but just to have faith that music can nurture me back. And it did.' More from Rolling Stone How Bassist Paz Lenchantin Went From Teenage Pixies Fan to Member of the Band Watch A Perfect Circle's Creepy 'The Contrarian' Video On the Charts: J. Cole Scores Best-Selling Week of 2018 With 'KOD' Lenchantin created much of the music on Triste herself, but she did recruit two of her former Perfect Circle bandmates — drummer Josh Freese and guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen — to join her in the studio. She was also accompanied by Spanish-speaking musicians she met after posting a notice on Instagram. The album began to take shape last year in Petatlán, Mexico, when Lenchantin wrote a series of songs about a young woman falling in love with Jesus. 'Lenchantin isn't necessarily religious,' reads an official album bio, 'she saw the story as a metaphor for salvation: the human drive to search for a god, or god-like figure, and to devote yourself to something that cannot love you back…This guiding metaphor shaped the album's dream-like logic, with each lyric refracting a fragment of Lenchantin's own life into broader analogy.' 'What was special to me in making this album was that I learned who I am, this far into my journey in music, simply by allowing myself the freedom of my own choice,' Lenchantin said. 'It became like witnessing a fallen tree in my own forest, without the need to yell 'timber.'' The music is a vast departure from her work with the Pixies. She joined the alt-rock icons in 2014 after the group parted ways with bassist Kim Shattuck. 'Charles [Thompson, a.k.a. Black Francis] is the greatest artist I've ever worked with,' she told Rolling Stone in 2022 as part of our Unknown Legends interview series. 'I used to be like, 'This is missing in this band, and this is missing in this band…' But working with Charles, Joey [Santiago], and David [Lovering] really glued me together and completed me in every way I was looking for. It really is the peak of the mountain.' In 2024, after recording three albums with them and touring the world many times over, the Pixies announced that they were parting ways with her. 'My departure is a bit of a surprise to me as it is to many,' Lenchantin told Rolling Stone when the news broke, 'but it looks like they have a solid plan figured out, which in turn has pushed me to move onwards onto new projects that I am excited about.' Not long afterward, a 'major artist' asked Lenchantin if she'd join her band as a bass player. 'I froze,' she says in the album bio, stating that her past experiences in high-profile groups left her 'traumatized.' 'And how far can that get you?' she asks, noting that she turned down the gig in favor of creating Triste. 'Otherwise,' she said, 'you're just going around in a circle.' The Triste track list: 1 – Novela2 – Lows & Highs3 – Woman Of Nazareth4 – Hang Tough5 – Wish I Was There6 – Si No!7 – In The Garden With The Devil8 – Adam9 – Lucia10 – Sin Dios11 – Save It For Hell12 – Triste Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked Solve the daily Crossword

'The View''s Ana Navarro slams Melania Trump's 'performative hypocrisy' after First Lady's plea to Vladimir Putin over Ukraine
"What about all the children in America?" Navarro asked, calling out Melania Trump for asking Putin to end the Ukraine war in the name of kids. Key Points Ana Navarro is on a View hiatus, but still took aim at political figures Melania and Donald Trump. The Republican cohost slammed the First Lady after she urged Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine war for children. "How about all the children in America?" Navarro asked in a new video. Just because she's busy dancing on Grecian yachts and jumping into the sea to fetch more wine from a neighboring vessel doesn't mean The View cohost Ana Navarro has forgotten about attempting to keep political figures in check on the global stage, thank you very much! Amid the ABC talk show's ongoing summer hiatus, the 53-year-old Republican panelist shared Tuesday an impassioned Instagram video in which she called out Melania Trump's recent letter to Russian leader Vladimir Putin that saw the First Lady calling for an end to the war in Ukraine. In her post, Navarro labeled the First Lady's words as "stuff that's so hypocritical you almost can't believe it," before reciting several sentences from the letter that President Donald Trump recently hand-delivered to Putin at a meeting. In the letter, the First Lady said that Putin could end the war with the "stroke of the pen," and highlighted a "responsibility to sustain our children" in a "dignity-filled world" filled with peace. 'Think about what her husband, what Donald Trump, is doing to the children of immigrants in America," Navarro posed, before highlighting the administration's controversial ongoing raids that have led to mass deportations in the country. "How many of those children are living with the fear or their parents being dragged through the streets of America? Their car windows smashed in? Their parents beaten by masked men and disappeared?" Navarro again questioned, "How about all of the children in America?" before alleging things like "children being denied SNAP benefits" and "children all over the world who are not receiving U.S. aide because [Melania's] husband's government decided we shouldn't be feeding starving children all over the world?" Navarro said that Melania's letter "strikes me as ridiculously hypocritical," while she offered a lightly dismissive round of applause that praised the First Lady for doing a "good thing" in speaking out about Ukraine. "But maybe she should turn around and say the exact same thing to her husband, because there are children in America crying, suffering, going to bed in fear, returning to homes that are abandoned and empty, not knowing where their next meal is coming from," Navarro finished. Entertainment Weekly has reached out to the White House for comment. Navarro and her View cohosts have long been critical of Trump and his administration, particularly throughout the 2024 presidential election cycle. Fellow Republican panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked for Trump's communications team during his first term in office before resigning and speaking out against him, even went as far as to reveal that she voted for a Democrat for the first time in her life when she cast her ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris in November. Though The View has posted strong ratings across its recent season, the show has come under intense fire from conservative figures — including former cohost Meghan McCain, whom has taken aim at the show in general (she said in March that Rosie O'Donnell once warned her that the show was a "cesspool") as well as cohosts like Griffin and Navarro. Government officials have also criticized The View, with a White House representative even telling EW that the show could be "pulled off the air" if its cohosts don't check their liberal bias, while Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr said during a Fox News appearance that he thinks there could be "consequences" for the show if the stars don't change their tone.
