Eminem Is a First-Time Grandpa
The 52-year-old rapper's daughter, Hailie Jade, shared the news of her first baby's birth in an Instagram post on Friday, April 4, posting two sweet pics of the newborn in front of a letterboard revealing the little one's name: "Elliot Marshall McClintock." The infant was dressed in a sweet button-down sweater with a hood that was just a little bit too big for him.

"happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e 🤍," Hailie captioned her post.
Commenters were quick to send the new mom (and grandpa) their best wishes, with several pointing out the meaning behind the baby boy's name (Eminem's real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III.)
"The best day of the entire year! 💙 congratulations! 🎉" one person gushed.
"His middle name im crying 🥹❤️ he's so precious," added a second fan, with someone else noting that the baby "looks JUST like his granddaddy 😍😍🤍🤍🤍."
"His initials are EM & M 🩵 Genius! What a little cutie," another Instagram user declared.
Hailie welcomed baby Elliot with her husband, Evan McClintock. Dad Eminem shared the couple's pregnancy news in his "Temporary" music video in October, which included footage from the moment he found out he was going to become a grandfather.
In the sweet clip, Hailie gifted her father with a Detroit Lions jersey with 'Grandpa' written across the back.

It's Time to Be Romantic in North Beach
Garrett Schlichte is an award-winning columnist, writer, and chef living in San Francisco. Garrett's work has appeared online and in print in The Washington Post , The New York Times , THEM, Jezebel, Slate, and other outlets. Welcome to Fire the Menu, a column from chef and writer Garrett Schlichte about over-ordering, over-indulging, and almost overdoing it in their favorite city in the world, the place they call home, San Francisco. From pre-fixe to quick fix and everything in between, it's time to find your people, tuck in, and, well, fire the menu. I'd have thought that getting dumped by someone a little over halfway through their 20s, when I'm almost halfway through my 30s, would have been more embarrassing, but after you've willingly posted your first Instagram Reel, really, everything else feels rote in comparison. If I'm being totally honest, the only actually embarrassing part of that breakup, aside from the fact that I was still wearing my yellow kitchen clogs when it happened, is that it took getting swept off my feet by a 26-year-old for me to finally understand just how beautiful North Beach is. It's not that I'd never been to North Beach, of course. I'm not an idiot (mostly). When I first moved to the city, I made the customary pilgrimage to City Lights. I've spent several pie-eyed afternoons squirreled away in the ever-elusive second-floor booth at Vesuvio, gossiping with friends over too many martinis, making up stories about how strangers on the first floor might have met. I've eaten a slice from Golden Boy, and Tony's, and Golden Boy again. But all of those were special occasions that felt, to be totally honest, a little bit like work. Regardless of the fact that our sweet little city is famously 7x7, gorgeous, and uniquely walkable and bikeable, I have, at times, been uncharacteristically lazy when it comes to traveling so far that I'm required to carry the customary light jacket the microclimates necessitate. Until, of course, a hot guy invited me to a part of the city that required walking, a train, and a cable car. If any city transit officials are looking for ways to inspire people to use public transit more regularly, they might consider having more 6-foot-7 men in slutty little glasses invite people on dates — I have some empirical evidence pointing toward the success of this tactic. But I'm not here to save Muni (although, of course, save Muni), I'm here to talk about North Beach, and how one truly perfect date broke me out of my neighborhood vortex. It is considerably easier to get to North Beach by bus, bike, or on foot than it is to get there by cable car, but I now think riding a cable car, one of the last vestiges of an almost-but-not-quite-bygone era of San Francisco, into the heart of North Beach is one of the most perfect and romantic things you can do. I will admit that when my date and I hopped off BART at Powell and then had to walk and wait an additional 17 minutes for the cable car, I was suspicious. The bottle of wine he had tucked in his tote was helpful, but even then, I wasn't quite sure of the whole idea. Garrett Schlichte Garrett Schlichte I'd never ridden a cable car because I considered it to be nothing more than a tourist trap. What an idiot I am! When the trolley finally arrived and we boarded and sat down, I was instantly in love (with the trolley, not the man). Sure, I was a little tipsy. Yes, I was holding hands with a tall, cute man. Of course, the moon was out and full, but I'm still sure that even if none of those things were true, I would have found it magical. Riding into North Beach down Powell in the open air is a reminder that our city, which can feel wonderfully like a town at times, is very much a city. The flickering marques and neon signs and the grind of the electric motor of the trolley was a pulsing heartbeat saying I'm here, I'm back, I never left. I don't remember where we finally hopped off except that it was in the middle of an intersection, which, of course, I found particularly endearing. As we wandered away from the track, I did a few twirls on the sidewalk. Red, green, and white lights strung across the streets were stars in my eyes, and I smelled a new kind of pizza every couple of blocks. Heaven! In 1940, the columnist Herb Caen wrote that North Beach was '1,001 neon-splattered joints alive with the Italian air of garlic and the jukebox wail of American folk songs.' That night, and now, I find myself delighted by how true that description still is. The rest of the date was fine, but gilded to better-than-fine by the thick ambrosial air that wafts through every inch of North Beach. I don't remember what restaurant we ate at, which is good because the food wasn't, although that didn't stop me from loving it. Bad food can be compensated for when a restaurant's heart is in the right place, and wherever we were, it definitely was. The owner sat a few tables away from us and came over to pour us wine when our glasses got low. An extra little treat was gifted to us for dessert. Sure, the chicken was dry, but our waiter hugged us on the way out — ugh! Back out on the street, we held hands and walked past increasingly busier and louder bar fronts, and my date wondered aloud if stopping to kiss on a street corner might get us hate-crimed. I looked around. For maybe the first time in my life in San Francisco, I couldn't spot another gay person around me, aside from the one whose hand I was holding. Despite North Beach's history as San Francisco's first gayborhood, long gone were the Paper Doll, the Beige Room, Mona's, and a dozen other bars and restaurants that made it so. Petite Lil's keeps the romantic energy alive and well. Garrett Schlichte Although we didn't let the stifling heterosexuality stop us from expressing our god-given right to lock lips on a street corner (North Beach or not, it's still San Francisco, after all), I did wonder mid-make-out if the lack of a gay outpost was part of what had kept me from frequenting one of the most romantic parts of the city for so long. In the Castro and Soma, and even the Tenderloin and Bernal, you're never too far from a queer watering hole, but I wouldn't necessarily call those places inherently romantic, or at least not in the same way North Beach is. Even though my relationship with that tall man didn't last much longer after that date, it was just the beginning of my love affair with North Beach. A couple of weeks after that night, I found myself back under the neon lights for a friend's book reading, and then miraculously snatching up the last two bar seats at Tony's for a beer, pizza, and a perfect Italian chopped salad. A week later, I was back on the trolley and tucking into the window seat at Petit Lil's for a cold martini and even colder oysters. Then, it was Tosca, and a late-night burger at Sam's. Then, upstairs at Trattoria Contadina. A cannoli on the street here and there, a cigarette outside of Vesuvio. Europe in the Bay! I've been broken up with in other cities I've lived in, and I always found ways to avoid the parts of town where I spent time with that person. But when relationships have ended in San Francisco, I find myself returning to those spots again and again, regardless of the little heart pangs a street corner or a bar might elicit. Perhaps that's the magic of San Francisco — it's just too good to keep yourself from enjoying all of it. Paper covers rock, and San Francisco covers heartbreak. So, I believe it is time to go be romantic in North Beach. With yourself, with a lover, or with friends — and it doesn't matter what counter you do it at, because every spot is perfect, even if it's not exactly good. North Beach is not a neighborhood of hidden gems. No, in North Beach, all the gems are visible. It wears those 1,001 neon signs Caen was talking about like a crown, each one inviting you in and daring you not to fall in love, either with a person or with the city itself. Nights in North Beach end with Sam's. That's the rule.

7 Ways Planners Can Use Pinterest for Inspiration
Pinterest is much more than just a social media site for hobbyists. It's the second-fastest growing social media site (after Instagram), with more than half a billion monthly active users. Millennials and Gen Z'ers are a growing percentage of Pinterest users and are among the platform's most active groups, with some estimates saying that Gen Z'ers account for more than 40% of active users monthly. For meeting planners, the best way to start using Pinterest is to just jump in, exploring its photos, mood boards, and curated collections. From there, you can start creating your own boards for your various meetings and events, and for different aspects of each, such as F&B, event design, or marketing. Following are 7 Pinterest tips for planners: 1. Know the Keywords The secret to searching on Pinterest is to combine broad event concepts with specific planning objectives. For example, if you're planning a final evening event, you might search for 'elegant decor for an awards ceremony.' Or, if you want to create a custom cocktail for your event, you could try 'creative mocktails for a poolside cocktail party.' Following are some popular search terms for event planning: For event decor: event design ideas, corporate event decor; event lighting ideas, themed event ideas For F&B: creative catering ideas, food stations for events, mini desserts for events For networking: Interactive event ideas, corporate team-building activities, icebreaker ideas for events, CSR team-building For meeting formats: creative stage design ideas, creative seminar setups, outdoor corporate event setups, creative seating arrangements for meetings For gifting: corporate gifting ideas, trade show swag ideas, eco-friendly giveaways, luxury attendee gifts. 2. Create Collages Pinterest gives you the ability to combine multiple images into a single, interactive pin, making it easier to visualize how all the elements of a meeting that you have chosen would fit together. Think of the collage as a 360 degree view of your event. Check out the Skift Meetings Toolkit on Pinterest: 3. Follow Other Pinners In addition to planners, many suppliers, from entertainers to AV companies, have their own Pinterest accounts where they post the creative ideas they see at events. A majority of wedding and social event planners are also on Pinterest, and they can be a great source of inspiration, especially when it comes to F&B and decor. 4. Stay on Top of Trends Pinterest prides itself on being the place where ideas emerge before they hit the mainstream. For example, it's the social media site where interior designers and fashion designers test out concepts. If you search Pinterest for '2025 Event Trends,' you'll see dozens of Pinners' compilations all in one place. 5. Get Out of the Meetings Industry Bubble Many meeting planners tend to search out meetings industry web sites and for inspiration. Pinterest runs across all industries, so it allows you to explore trends in fashion, retail, food and beverage, and interior design — all of which have some influence on events. (Think: Pantone's Color of the Year) 6. Share Ideas With Internal/External Clients Every Pinterest board is shareable. As long as your collaborator has a Pinterest account, you can invite him or her to view, comment, and even add pins. You can also make a board secret, so that only you and invited individuals can see it. Or you can open it up and use it for presentations. 7. Follow Pinterest's Trends Reports Pinterest publishes its "Pinterest Predicts" trends report annually, which forecasts emerging trends based on user search data and behavior. In addition, the Pinterest News Room publishes seasonal reports. The Summer 2025 Report pointed to trends including nature bathing among Gen Z'ers, savory cocktails using fresh herbs, and a return to the early 2000's Boho aesthetic, among others.

Justin Bieber impersonator dupes Las Vegas nightclub, sings on stage
Justin Bieber joined a popular DJ onstage and performed at a Las Vegas nightclub. Except that he didn't. Gryffin, a San Francisco-born DJ and music producer, was performing at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas hotel on Aug. 16 when he was told that Bieber was at the venue and wanted to perform, he said in a video posted on his Instagram. "His 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry,'" a text overlay on the video read. "Little did I know I was about to be sorry." The Bieber on stage with Gryffin was not the Grammy award-winning singer, but rather an impersonator. The DJ's video added that the look-alike performed on stage for several minutes and "sounded like Justin Bieber." "biebergate2025," the DJ captioned his post. Nightclub says impersonator carried out 'elaborate' dupe Wynn Las Vegas said in a statement to USA TODAY that the impersonator duped the club's staff. "After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage," the statement reads. "As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry." In Gryffin's video, a man with a buzzed haircut, tattoos and sunglasses is seen performing Bieber's hit song, "Sorry." "Bieber in the house, y'all," Gryffin says into a microphone. Following the performance, the video shows Gryffin saying, "That was insane," before someone puts their arm around him and breaks the news that the singer on stage was not the real Bieber. "No way," Gryffin says, to which the individual responds, "Swear on my life." Justin Bieber impersonator denies trying to dupe club In a series of social media posts, a French Justin Bieber impersonator named Dylan Desclos confirmed that he was the onstage performer. Desclos's manager, Julien Colas, said in a written statement to USA TODAY that he went to the club as an impersonator and someone asked if he would like to perform. "We did many performance as impersonator," Colas said. "What have we to won by saying we are the real one? That's not our way to work. Cause, yes, it's a job. We don't want to hurt anyone."
