Rihanna and Her Baby Bump Close Down Met Gala Carpet
Rihanna once again showed that good things come to those who wait, arriving in signature late style to the Met Gala on Monday with a brand new accessory — a baby bump.
After her partner A$AP Rocky confirmed to reporters earlier in the night that the couple was indeed expecting their third child, Rihanna showed off her bump in a pinstripe, suited-up fit, accompanied by a large black hat and her hair in a long ponytail.

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.

Losing His Way Is Exactly What Former Falcons RB T.J. Duckett Needed To Find Peace
Losing His Way Is Exactly What Former Falcons RB T.J. Duckett Needed To Find Peace originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In 2009, after football had ended for T.J. Duckett, the former bruiser of a back, found himself wondering where time had gone and whether it was all really over. He did not know how to be an average human being outside of football, a game that was all he ever knew. Advertisement Since then, Duckett has found true happiness, learned to live without the crowd's roar, and become a philanthropist/entrepreneur who regularly speaks to student athletes as a motivational speaker. Former Falcons RB T.J. Duckett runs the ball against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Imagn Images (©) Copyright 2004 by Preston Mack Duckett would sit down with Josh Petry, a journalist at Athlon Sports and host of the "Nerdz Enigma" podcast on YouTube. Duckett would discuss being part of the "DVD" Era in Atlanta (Dunn, Vick, and Duckett), being passed on by the Cleveland Browns, and what life is like after football. One thing casual fans may not remember is that Duckett would run a 4.37 40-yard dash at his Michigan State Spartans pro day. All the while being just over six feet tall, and north of 260 pounds. Advertisement When asked about his being a bruising running back yet having that type of speed, he would say, "God-given blessed speed, you know! My dad is a track coach, and he's been coaching high school track for 56 years. I grew up around track, so I knew the importance of stretching and getting your knees up. I became a track runner at 250-260." When Duckett was asked about expecting to go number 16 in the NFL Draft to the Cleveland Browns, only for Cleveland to take another running back, then going 18th to Atlanta. Was that water under the bridge due to the better situation in Atlanta? Or did you want to make them pay whenever you had the chance to play them? "It was water under the bridge, you know, that NFL Draft, there is no telling where you're going to go. You may have an idea, but it's so unpredictable. I thought that I would go to Cleveland, Atlanta had just gotten Warrick Dunn, so I'm starting to look at the teams, and there isn't much room for a big running back like myself." "When I got that call, it wasn't about making anybody pay; It's like, I get to live my dream now." Advertisement Duckett struggled after football, and was asked if losing his way was exactly what he needed to find that peace in his life, and he would say, "Yeah, it's not necessarily about losing my way, it's about what I want. But, it's so much bigger than you, and I like to control the situation, but you find yourself asking, This is what I want, so why didn't I win a Super Bowl. Life is meant to be lived, and it will unfold how you keep testing if what is inside you scares you." Duckett's website originated through his non-profit "New World Flood." Flooding the world through giving and service, a single raindrop at a time.

Duckett can be found in its entirety below.

Tommy Wirkola Returning to Direct ‘Violent Night 2' (Exclusive)
Tommy Wirkola is back in the sleigh for Violent Night 2, the sequel to its Christmas-themed action movie released in 2022, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The studio on Wednesday dated the sequel for a Dec. 4, 2026 unwrapping. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Street Fighter' Movie Removed From Calendar as Phoebe Dynevor Shark Thriller Moves Back a Year Phoebe Dynevor Shark Thriller From Tommy Wirkola Gets Title and Summer 2025 Release Tommy Wirkola on Going From Nazi Zombies in 'Dead Snow' to Singing Semen in 'Spermageddon' David Harbour is back as the icepick-stabbing, skate-slashing Santa Claus, who in the first movie was a bitter drunk headed towards turning back on the holiday until a little girl shows him the light. It's unclear if his lucidity will remain intact for the second outing. Also unclear is if the new story will include Mrs. Claus, briefly mention in the first movie. Universal is eying a September start of production in Winnipeg. Kelly McCormick and David Leitch of 87North are back as producers as are screenwriting team Pat Casey and Josh Miller. Violent Night proved to be a solid hit, gifting the studio a $50 million domestic haul on a budget of around $20 million. It took in an additional $25.9 million from international markets. Wirkola's previous credits include the Norwegian horror hit Dead Snow and relationship action comedy The Trip. In 2022, the filmmaker told The Hollywood Reporter he and the writers were already talking of a sequel that could incorporate ideas they couldn't fit into the first movie. 'We don't see the North Pole, we don't see Mrs. Claus and we don't see the elves,' Wirkola said. 'There were also a few ideas that we loved in the script, but we had to cut them because we couldn't afford to shoot them.' Wirkola is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
