The superstar chose another star-studded moment to announce baby No. 3 after debuting her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime performance in 2023. She and A$AP Rocky, who have been together since 2020, are already parents to sons RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers.
The two have become Met Gala staples over the years, frequently closing down the carpet with their best-dressed looks. A$AP Rocky is also one of this year's Met Gala co-chairs, alongside Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, Anna Wintour and honorary chair LeBron James. This year's Met Gala theme celebrates the Costume Institute's new exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which is on view from May 10 to Oct. 26.
This year marked a return to the Met Gala carpet after Rihanna had to miss last year's event after coming down with the flu. A$AP Rocky — who said that he thought he 'was being pranked at first' when Anna Wintour asked him to co-chair, and chose to wear a look he personally designed — told The Hollywood Reporter that his counterpart would be 'fashionably late,' hence their separate arrival.

Metallica want to play Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show in San Francisco
Metallica are interested in performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2026, according to drummer Lars Ulrich. The 61-year-old musician has revealed that the Enter Sandman rockers would love to play in the coveted slot with next year's NFL showpiece being staged in their San Francisco base. Asked about the possibility on Sirius XM's The Howard Stern Show, Lars said: "F*** yeah, of course we would. "First of all we would do it. Second of all to do it in San Francisco would be a dream come true and would be the right fit... Certainly as somebody who's represented San Francisco all over the world and shouted for decades about San Francisco and our love for the Bay Area, that part of it is the right fit. Ultimately it's not our decision." Metallica are said to be in talks to stage a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere in 2026 and Lars did not deny the reports when questioned. The Danish drummer said: "I'm not going to confirm anything, because there's nothing to confirm. But I'm not going to deny it, because we're all such fans of this venue. "All of our manager and our production people have been there and looked at it. It's something that we're considering, (but) nothing is etched in stone or green-lit. It's something that we're looking at at some point when the 2026 tour is done." Ulrich continued: "I would f****** love to do it, let there be no question about it. It's not signed, sealed and delivered, but speaking to me and asking my opinion, I would f****** love to do it." Metallica's lead guitarist Kirk Hammett revealed recently that the Nothing Else Matters band would love to stage a "crazy experience" at the venue in Sin City, which is renowned for its immersive video and audio capabilities. Quizzed about the prospect, he told The Hollywood Reporter: "Oh, heck, yeah! That's a great example of how venues are changing. That's using modern technology to the fullest, to really up the levels of production and entertainment, connected to AI and making it a crazy experience." Metallica have embraced developments in technology - appearing in the video game Fortnite and staging an immersive concert with Apple Vision Pro in recent years - and Kirk warned that other artists risk being "exploited" if they do not adapt with the times. The 62-year-old rocker said: "The formats and venues just keep on coming. Ten years ago, I didn't know we would be characters in a Fortnite game or that Apple would create VR headsets that can bring you literally right in front of the performer or the athlete. We didn't see any of this coming. "It's important to pay attention to all this stuff, because if you don't apply yourself in a responsible fashion, someone else is going to do it for you, and you're going to be on the exploited end. If you're not paying attention, then stuff like Napster happens. It's not for me to say, but that's something to ponder."

Celeb Voter Rregistrations: Republicans And Democrats
Florida! Home of many notable things, including publicly accessible voter registration records. Florida is also a closed primary state, meaning that you essentially can only vote in the primaries for the party you're registered with. As such, you might be curious as to how certain famous figures who reside there are currently registered. It's worth noting that the date of registration could reflect a change in address rather than a change in political party. Here's what the records say under "party": Sydney Sweeney: Republican The actor has been registered with the Republicans since June 2024, when it was reported that she'd bought an oceanfront mansion close to Key West. Guy Fieri: Republican Guy has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida since October 2023. After the election, he said, "Now that our country's made a gigantic pivotal change, we're going to get back to doing what we do, and that is being the best country in the world." Karlie Kloss: Democrat Despite being married to Joshua Kushner, Karlie has long been open about voting blue. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Democrat Dwayne refused to endorse a candidate in the 2024 election and has voted Republican and Democrat before. As for now, he's been a registered Democrat since 2018. Jeff Bezos: No Party Affiliation Despite shutting down the Washington Post's endorsement of Kamala Harris and attending Trump's inauguration, Bezos isn't actually officially registered to either party, Sylvester Stallone: No Party Affiliation Sylvester was named as one of Trump's "special ambassadors" to Hollywood earlier this year, but he isn't actually registered with the Republican party. Witney Carson: Republican The dancer and choreographer's registration dates back to October 2023. Ramona Singer: Republican The Real Housewives of New York City alum has previously been spotted at Mar-A-Largo over the years. She's rumored to be considering her own political run. Derek Jeter: Democrat The baseball legend has been registered Democrat since 2008. John Travolta: No Party Affiliation His registration has been consistent since 2003. Finally, Tom Brady: No Party Affiliation He did sit in Trump's suite at the FIFA Club World Cup last month. Any surprises?
