"I love that s***. For me, my dad was a proud dad. He taught me everything I know, especially how to be a gentleman and whatnot, so I was prepared to be a dad my whole life, man, you know?

By contrast, she said Riot is full of energy from the moment he wakes up, adding: "He's just hilarious. When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing. And I'm like, 'Okay, here we go!'
"He's my alarm in the morning! He's not taking no for an answer from anyone. I don't know where he came from, dude."
Rihanna said RZA initially struggled to adjust to having a younger sibling, "like all [new] siblings do," but Riot has now taken charge.
She went on: "At first, Riot was understanding that his role was being the little brother. Now he knows he's in charge."

Jenna Ortega felt unhappy after Wednesday fame, Entertainment News
Jenna Ortega became an "unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday. The 22-year-old actress plays Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. "After the pressure, the attention — as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday and she's loving the experience. She said: "I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area." Jenna also teased season two of the show, describing it as "bigger, bolder, gorier, and a bit darker" than the first. She explained: "It's sillier in the best way possible." The actress has also welcomed the show's move from Romania to Ireland. Jenna explained: "Dublin was incredible. "I loved everything about that experience, the cast, the crew. It was so sweet and so awesome. That island is so beautiful." Jenna made the most of her free time when she wasn't filming Wednesday. She said: "On weekends, we'd go down to Kerry and Cork and Donegal and swim in thunderstorms. "I spent a lot of time laying in fields, going on hikes with my dog. I was raising chinchillas, and I'd read books with my chinchillas in my lap. Maybe I'd go to a karaoke bar one night or host a dinner at my place — things like that. I tried to make it feel as family-like as possible." Jenna has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, starring in a host of big-budget projects, including Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Scream and Wednesday. But the actress previously admitted that she's still adjusting to her own fame and success. She told MTV: "It's definitely an adjustment." Jenna actually relished being able to lean on Winona Ryder — her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star — for some advice about navigating the potential pitfalls of fame. She explained: "I'm very grateful to be where I am and she had kind of a similar thing to say. "It was just so nice to speak to someone who actually understood me." [[nid:716119]]

Rihanna confirms her third pregnancy at Met Gala, Entertainment News
Rihanna confirmed her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala. The 37-year-old singer — who has sons RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky — stepped out on the floral carpet debuting her new baby bump, after revealing in a portrait by photographer Miles Diggs that she is expecting her third child. Rihanna arrived late to Monday's (May 5) Met Gala, which took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, wearing a Marc Jacobs outfit — a grey bustier and a floor-length black skirt — amid the spectacle's theme of "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style". The We Found Love hitmaker rocked up after the floral carpet had ended, but her partner Rocky, who co-chaired this year's Met Gala, arrived earlier in the evening. Several reporters congratulated him after it was revealed the couple are expecting their third child together, and he replied: "It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up." He also said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you. "I'm glad everybody's happy for us because we're definitely happy." A$AP wore a navy suit, which he designed himself, and Christian Louboutin shoes on the Met Gala's midnight blue carpet. Rihanna is no stranger to announcing a pregnancy on a worldwide stage. The star confirmed she was pregnant with Riot during her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Just days later, Rihanna admitted "everything changed" for the couple when they welcomed their first child into the world, but the birth of RZA made the pair "closer". Speaking to British Vogue magazine in February 2023, she said: "We're best friends with a baby. "We have to be on the same page, but we've always kind of had that in our relationship. "Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn't say it's done anything but made us closer." [[nid:717745]]
