Keyshia Cole Apologizes After Mistakingly Sharing Ashanti Is Pregnant Again
Keyshia Cole found herself in the middle of a baby rumor mix-up this week, to which she has offered a sincere apology after mistakenly announcing that Ashanti and Nelly were expecting again. The 'Love' singer recently appeared on The Breakfast Club, where during a moment of celebrating her fellow R&B sister, she blurted out that Ashanti was allegedly pregnant with her second child. 'Shout-out to Ashanti, because I mean, she's amazing. She got a baby, she's pregnant again …' she said with full confidence and no hesitation. Ashanti nor Nelly have actually confirmed if they are expecting baby number two. That announcement was met with a waves of both backlash and curiosity across social media. The Breakfast Club co-host Loren LoRosa immediately questioned whether Cole was speaking from fact or simply echoing rumors, while Jess Hilarious and Charlamagne Tha God appeared more inclined to believe her. But as Cole's confidence visibly faded, it quickly became clear that the 43-year-old had shared information likely fueled by speculation rather than confirmation. 'She was being sincere. We really live in an eggshell society, whew! Hopefully this shouldn't cause a rift between both artists, love their music!' one fan commented underneath Hollywood Unlocked's repost of the interview. Another added, 'I doubt if Ashanti even cares. She's somewhere on cloud 9 living her best life lol.' In response to all of the online commentary, Cole slid into the comments herself with an apology about the spill. 'My apologies… I shouldn't have said that. I thought she announced it. If that isn't true then I apologize,' To be fair, Ashanti has been open about wanting to expand her family with Nelly. Back in March, she told E! News that they're planning to add more little ones to their crew — and this time, she's hoping for a baby girl to balance out the boys. 'We're going to add some more,' she said, teasing that if she had to choose their baby's sex, she wouldn't mind a mini-me. 'Definitely a girl to balance it out. I'm outnumbered in the house right now. So, a girl would be great.'

Taylor Swift 'Fears Imminent Harm' From Stalker Claiming She's The Mother of His Child
Taylor Swift 'Fears Imminent Harm' From Stalker Claiming She's The Mother of His Child originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In recent years, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been vocal about wishing to protect not only the privacy of his relationship with pop icon girlfriend Taylor Swift - but also Swift herself. But this time around? The music sensation needs help from the courts. Swift has been granted a restraining order against a Colorado man after he allegedly visited her Los Angeles home multiple times while insisted that she's the mother of his child. Swift filed the restraining order last Friday, alleging that a man named Brian Jason Wagner has 'made various statements about living at my property,' 'being in a relationship with me … believing I am the mother of his son … needing to see me in person,' according to a legal filing obtained by media outlets, which adds, "All of which are untrue and disconnected from reality.' Per the filing, Swift, says that Wagner first stopped by her Los Angeles home in 2024 and returned several times that July. She claimed that Wagner again stopped by her home in May 2025. Swift's security team reportedly later learned that Wagner was once in prison and had allegedly written lengthy jail cell letters to the Grammy winner 'about his infatuation with (her), a romantic relationship with (her ... which does not exist), and other completely fabricated stories about his involvement in (her) personal life.' The filing states that Wagner allegedly found a way to include Swift's address on his driver's license. Per the filing, Swift, 35, said, 'I have no relationship with Mr. Wagner and I have never met nor communicated with him,' she insisted, claiming she has a 'fear of imminent harm.' The temporary restraining order was granted on Monday and will expire on June 30. Swift - and Kelce, also 35 - are not stranger to such threats, with Kelce having beefed up security and made other changes to his home in Kansas City. A man was arrested in New York for a third time for stalking her in January 2024. And in July 2024, a man was arrested at her Eras Tour stop in Germany for allegedly threatening the couple. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Billy Jones, Baby's All Right Owner and Key Player in New York Music Scene, Dead at 45
Anyone who frequented the live music scene in New York over the last decade has a favorite story about Baby's All Right, the 280-seat club in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. There was the night Billie Eilish, then 15, played songs from her first EP and a cover of Drake's 'Hotline Bling.' The time Mac DeMarco, with the help of some wine, wrote a 'theme song' for the club. Or the night Zoë Kravitz's band Lolawolf played a set to an audience that included her dad Lenny and Anne Hathaway. All those memories, and many more, are the legacy of Billy Jones, the club co-owner who died Saturday of what a spokesperson for the venue called 'a highly aggressive case of glioblastoma,' a malignant brain tumor. Jones was 45. More from Rolling Stone Wayne Lewis, Founding Member of Atlantic Starr, Dead at 68 George Wendt's Cause of Death Revealed Jonathan Joss, 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor, Fatally Shot at 59 Jones arrived in New York in 2002 after earning a degree in media arts at Salisbury University in Maryland. As Jones and others saw, a new generation of indie and dance artists was rising up and hungry for places to play. 'Chris from Grizzly Bear worked at a cafe on Bedford, and so did Kyp from TV on the Radio,' Jones said in an interview in 2023. 'It would be like, 'Maybe that was Karen O that walked by? I'm not quite sure.' … Whatever band would come out that week was like the best band ever.' Jones himself was lead singer in his own band, Other Passengers, in the 2000s and was a DJ. Looking back at those years, and the burgeoning Brooklyn music scene, he said in the same interview, 'There was a feeling of calm before the storm.' Jones established himself as a booker at city clubs like Pianos NYC, the Dance, and Sin-é (which, in an earlier incarnation, had fostered Jeff Buckley). In 2013, he and a business partner, Zachary Mexico, opened Baby's All Right, a combination bar, dining room, and performance space. With its astrology charts and shiny lighting, the club always felt a little otherworldly but quickly became a gathering spot for the Brooklyn and New York music community. Dev Hynes played a New Year's Eve party there, and the club also hosted early shows by SZA, Beach House, and Ariel Pink. Jones himself looked the part of an indie entrepreneur; one report described him as wearing 'denim bell bottoms with the messy haircut of a 20-something.' But he was also admirably ambitious. Just before the pandemic, he was hoping to open a Los Angeles version of Baby's All Right and also owned the recently closed Billy's Record Salon, a record store near the Brooklyn space. He also recently opened two new clubs in the city's East Village neighborhood: Night Club 101 and the jazz-leaning Funny Bar. As he told Rolling Stone in 2020 as the lockdown began, ''Everyone throws around the word 'resilient' right now. But there's got to be a way to do it.'
