Katy Perry sees her success through the eyes of her daughter
Katy Perry loves being able to enjoy her success through the eyes of her daughter. The 40-year-old pop star has Daisy, four, with fiancé Orlando Bloom and as she prepares to head out on the 'Lifetimes' tour, Katy admitted that she sees everything with a renewed sense of "light and joy and hope" now that she is a mother. She told E! News: "It's like Christmas again when you get to see it through a child's eyes. There's so much light and joy and hope. "One thing I will be implementing is an earlier showtime because now I feel for all the mothers that I put through when I started my show at 9:15." The 'I Kissed A Girl' hitmaker was last on the road in 2017 with her 'Witness' tour. But in 2021, she launched a two-year residency titled 'Play' in Las Vegas and Katy teased that her new show will be full of "surprises" for fans. She added: "There might be a section that has some surprises. We gotta keep these kids on the edge of their seat, you know?" Katy - who will kick off her world tour in April - has been a mainstay on the pop scene since debuting in the late 2000s and also explained that she will try to find a balance between old and new in terms of her setlist. She said: "I like to have everything represented in its own special way, but I do feel a responsibility to my audience that they can have a sing along of some sort. "So, the songs that they know and grew up with and there's nostalgia songs that people have adopted for their life mantra or for a certain time in their life, whether that was a hard time or a happy time. Music really stirs our emotions and connects us, so I'm gonna be singing all those songs and more."

Kayleigh McEnany of Fox News has a new baby. Big sis is thrilled; big bro not so much
Kayleigh McEnany and husband Sean Gilmartin welcomed their third child — a girl. 'We are overjoyed to announce the newest member of the 'Outnumbered' family,' Emily Compagno said Monday during the Fox News Channel show she co-hosts with McEnany. She noted that viewers could see the baby 'letting out a big yawn' in photos provided by her mom and dad. Avery was born on Wednesday, the network said. McEnany tweeted Monday that she and her husband are 'so in love with our new baby girl, Avery Grace! Blake and Nash love their baby sister, and we are enjoying this beautiful time in life!' McEnany was a tad more nuanced in notes given to Compagno, who quoted the three-time mom as saying that while big sister Blake, 5, 'can't stop thinking about the baby,' big brother Nash, 2, had 'finally warmed up to her.' In her announcement, the former White House press secretary included Psalm 139: 13-14, 'For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.' Compagno said the 'Outnumbered' crew, headed by Harris Faulkner, was 'wishing Kayleigh and Sean all the best as they continue to grow their beautiful family.' She told McEnany to please come back, but 'not too soon.' McEnany announced back in March that she and Gilmartin were expecting their third child. 'It's very sweet. It's been a special time,' she said. 'I've been pregnant during Christmas and during Thanksgiving, and my daughter Blake now knows, so she runs up and holds my stomach and is like, 'Let me kiss the baby.' ' The baby got in just under the June deadline that McEnany shared at the time. McEnany and Gilmartin, a pitcher who retired from professional baseball in 2022, started dating in 2015 and got married in 2017. After working in broadcast media initially, McEnany served as press secretary to President Trump from April 2020 through the end of his first term in January 2021, landing at Fox soon after. She's one of a host of former press secretaries who have landed jobs on cable and broadcast news.

Who Is Matthew Lillard's Wife? All About Heather Lillard (Including Which Bravo Show You May Have Seen Her On!)
Matthew Lillard may play Scooby Doo's best friend Shaggy in the live-action Scooby-Doo films, but that title goes to a different special someone in his real life: his wife, Heather Lillard. The Life of Chuck actor and Heather have been married since 2000 — and haven't been shy about sharing their love for each other on social media since. Matthew has penned various heartfelt tributes to his wife on Instagram, referring to Heather as his 'incredible partner' and the "love of [his] life". In a post for her birthday in 2024, he wrote, "I'm not sure where I would be without you… but I wouldn't be me. Happy birthday my love, you are our everything." Matthew and Heather have welcomed three kids over the course of their decades-long marriage: Addison, Ace and Liam. The actor told E! News in 2024 that his wife has been "incredible to parent with and a real gift to partner." So, who is Matthew Lillard's wife? Here is everything to know about Heather Lillard and her relationship with the actor. Heather was born and raised in California's Glendale/La Cañada area, according to her Compass bio page. She noted that she loves Pasadena's 'big city amenities and warm, small-town feel,' as well as 'its breathtaking architecture, rich history, and unbeatable food." Heather works as a realtor at Compass in southern California. Her Compass page states that she transitioned to a full-time career in real estate in 2009 after previously working as a director of special event marketing at Disney. She has also made a number of TV appearances, including a 2018 episode of an HGTV show where she took clients to see a 1923 bungalow located in Eagle Rock, Calif. Heather also once appeared on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. She shared a video of herself, Matthew and one of their children watching the episode on Instagram in 2019, in a clip that showed her and realtor Tracy Tutor going over an offer for a property. When she panned the camera to Matthew, he teased her, pointing out that she got her hair blown out for the occasion. Matthew previously shared that he followed his wife to Italy after they met at a golf tournament. 'I will tell you how much I believe in love at first sight," Matthew said in an old interview, which Heather posted stills of on her Instagram on Valentine's Day in 2023. "I met my wife at a golf tournament. She said she was going to Italy for a wedding with a bunch of friends." He continued, "And in 10 minutes, I saw her, and I decided to go to Italy with her. At the end of the trip, I thought, 'Oh my God. This is the woman I'm going to marry.' ' The couple went on to tie the knot on Aug. 26, 2000. The day after their 19th wedding anniversary, Matthew joked on Instagram, 'We hit 19yrs yesterday. In Hollywood, that's like 2 lifetimes. And the truth is, it wasn't that hard. You're the love of my life @heatherlillardrealtor and I can't wait to see what happens next.' The Scream star and his wife share three children: Addison, Ace and Liam. Their daughter, Addison, was born the same day 2002's Scooby-Doo opened in theaters. "I was literally holding my newborn child, and the head of the studio called to [say] congratulations," Matthew recalled to E! News in 2024. "And I said, 'Yeah, she's beautiful. I can't believe it.' He's like, 'No, we just greenlit the second movie.' " Matthew also revealed to E! News at the time that his youngest child, son Liam, wants 'nothing to do with' acting. Meanwhile, Addison graduated from the University of Southern California's Roski School of Art and Design in 2025, and Ace is currently a student studying acting at Carnegie Mellon University. "The good thing for me is that my kids have seen ebbs and flows," Matthew said of his children following in his footsteps. "They know the reality of the business. I never pushed anyone into it, but I certainly wouldn't deny the passion of my kids who are both artists." Matthew and Heather balance one another. Speaking to E! News in 2024, the actor shared that he and his wife are a 'good yin-yang.' 'I am very carefree, like, I will jump off a cliff a million times," he said. "And my wife has the ability to balance that with a sense of diligence, and she's very prudent." Read the original article on People

MSNBC's ‘Morning Joe' Charges Toward Its 20th Year: ‘We Want To Break New Ground'
'Morning Joe' co-hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist on the set at MSNBC ... More headquarters in New York. In a time of relentless--maybe exhausting is a better word--change, MSNBC's Morning Joe has remained remarkably consistent--in fact, co-hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist have quietly taken the title of longest-running morning show team on television as they close in on two decades together. While it's very rare in television for one set of hosts to endure as long as these three have, a lot has changed. The show that began in a studio in Secaucus, New Jersey, soon decamped for New York. The sets have changed. So has Scarborough's look, evolving with the times from v-neck-sweater-over-white-tee to jacket-no-tie to jacket-and-rep-tie-with-sneakers and occasionally just a branded Morning Joe sweatshirt. But the mission of the show today is pretty much the same as it was in the beginning: setting the stage for the day in politics and news by bringing together legislators, academics, journalists, authors, and others to try and make sense of what's happening over a cup (or more) of coffee. 'Morning Joe continues to be at the center of political conversation with influential audiences not just in Washington, D.C. and New York, but across the country,' Scarborough said. Joe Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski host the "Morning Joe" show on April 7, 2009 in New York ... More City, during Scarborough's sweater-and-crisp-white-tee phase. (Photo by) Dominant in DC--and on YouTube And while they have yet to knock the goliath of Fox News Channel's Fox 'n' Friends from its perch as the most-watched morning show in cable news, Morning Joe has been the top-rated morning show in the Washington, DC market, home of course to influential viewers like Donald Trump, who has consistently bashed MSNBC while also conceding that he's a regular viewer. Nationally, Morning Joe has averaged 701,000 viewers in the second quarter, more than doubling that of CNN, and the second quarter also marks 41 consecutive quarterly wins over CNN. Among viewers 25-54, the key demographic valued by advertisers, Morning Joe has also beaten CNN, drawing an average audience of 62,000 viewers in the second quarter of 2025. Despite a dip in overall viewership following the presidential election in November--common after viewership traditionally climbs during the months leading up to Election Day--Morning Joe's audience has rebounded, climbing 11 percent among total viewers and 9 percent in the key demo.

And while Morning Joe is considered a politically-driven program, some of the show's most-watched videos on YouTube deal with economics, including an April segment on Trump's tariff war that drew more than 1.2 million views, and one that focused on a warning from the CEOs of Walmart and Target about rising prices and empty shelves that's been watched 1.5 million times: 'We want to break new ground' The focus on non-linear viewership is a reality for all of cable and broadcast news, as a generational shift in media consumption means younger viewers are far less likely than their parents and grandparents to sit down in front of a TV and watch live news. Morning Joe has plans to meet those viewers where they are with consumable chunks of the live show on social media, and new content produced specifically for non-linear viewers. "Looking ahead, the entire team is excited to build on what has made the program successful for nearly two decades. We want to break new ground in the audio space, revamp and beef up our newsletter, and experiment with town hall meetings with the loyal Morning Joe family,' Scarborough said of the show's plans. The show's daily audio showcast, a podcast-style version of the daily broadcast, is MSNBC's most-listened-to, with 1.4 million downloads so far in June.

Often, those are newsmakers, like Sen. Amy Klobuchar who talked on a Monday morning about the assassination of her friend and fellow lawmaker, Minnesota Democrat Melissa Hortman, who had been shot and killed two days earlier. Over the last few weeks, other guests have included Trump border czar Tom Homan, talking about ICE raids and protests in Los Angeles, and Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who discussed Zohran Mamdani's upset victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. But the show's bookers are also quite effective at landing big names in entertainment and theater, with Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm and Seth Rogan appearing on Morning Joe in recent weeks.
