Michelle Williams, 44, confirms sex of her new baby and reveals fourth child was via surrogate
The infant's the 44-year-old actress's third with her husband Thomas Kail, 48, and she revealed the happy news on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, which was guest hosted by Tiffany Haddish.
When Tiffany complimented Michelle on her post-baby figure, she credited her surrogate for her 'little girl', and said: 'Then I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, because this last baby did not come through my body.'

Michelle added: 'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there - thank you, Christine.'
The actress's oldest child 19-year-old Matilda's her daughter with actor Heath Ledger, who died of an overdose in 2008.
Michelle's two younger children with her husband's five-year-old son Hart and a second child born in 2022, whose name's not yet been revealed.
Michelle told Tiffany: 'Thanks to Christine, I have three under-five at home.'
When the star spoke about balancing motherhood with her Hollywood career, she admitted that the juggle was not easy.
Michelle said: 'Everything's good and under control. I'm the adult. I'm trying to figure out the sort of life-work balance.
'I hear a lot of people are talking about self-care, and I'm just wondering when. Because I'm a working mom. Like, I already have the guilt, and I don't want to take more time away from them, but I understand, like, I need to fill up the tank.'
As for her rare moments of private time, Michelle joked that she spent it 'visiting our fine local establishments of government bureaucracy'.
She added: 'You say, "I'm sorry, honey, but one day you're going to grow up, and you're going to get a job. And you're going to pay taxes, and you're going to need a Social Security number for that."'
Michelle and Thomas, who got married in 2020, had their first child together that same year.
During her Jimmy Kimmel Live! interview, Michelle shared her tongue-in-cheek parenting hacks: 'And then here's how it goes - I recommend a midday appointment because it's a little bit more crowded. And then you can claim your rightful place at the back of the line where they will let you wait in complete silence for at least one hour.
'There is free seating for all. It's like... bring a nail file and a to-do list and just check, check, check. You know what I mean?'
Michelle said she managed to enjoy 'an adult conversation' with an employee at the counter once her name was finally called.
She added: 'If you want a pro hack, don't double-check your paperwork -because you might have to go back.'
The actress had been gearing up for the red carpet as she's been nominated for an Emmy for her role in FX's comedy-drama Dying For Sex, in the category Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series.

Lindsay Lohan posts makeup-free selfies after denying plastic surgery… and fans are all asking the same thing
Lindsay Lohan had her fans flooding the comments section of her social media page after posting makeup-free selfies. On Tuesday evening, the 39-year-old actress took to Instagram to share a couple of fresh-faced photos as she posed in her pajamas. In her post, the Freakier Friday star — who denied having plastic surgery — showed off her taut skin and radiant glow. In her caption, Lohan wrote to her 16.1 million followers: 'Fresh face and ready for bed!' Her social media update comes after Lohan famously said she 'never' had any plastic surgery done 'ever' earlier this year following months of ongoing fan speculation about her youthful appearance. In response to her post, the former child star had her many followers all commenting similar messages as they shared their thoughts on her wrinkle-free look. Her fans flooded her comments section with praises for her bare-faced look while others asked her to 'drop the skincare routine.' Many of her followers asked her for her secret to how she achieved such 'flawless' skin as they speculated what non-surgical skin procedures she had done to enhance her beauty. 'Drop the skincare routine queen,' one fan commented among the flood of compliments. 'Ugh perfection,' another follower wrote. 'Yes please drop the skincare routine girlie,' one comment read among many other messages with similar sentiments. Other people straight-up asked Lohan to share how she maintains her good looks. 'What is your secret?' 'Ok girl we ALL want to know your skincare routine! Like everything from lasers to botox! Girl you're glowing,' another fan praised the actress. 'We need your skincare routine queen,' one Instagram user added while another asked for her to share the products she uses to 'tighten pores and minimize oils.' 'You look AMAZING GIRL,' the fan gushed. 'Spill all the treatment secrets. The lovers and friends need to know,' one social media user commented. Another praised her for being 'so fresh looking.' 'Your skin looks amazing,' one fan commented before calling her a 'gorgeous lady.' Lohan's post and her fans raving about her fresh-faced appearance comes after the premiere of Freakier Friday. While promoting the Freaky Friday sequel, many fans theorized about how she achieved her youthful glow and beauty. The Mean Girls alum was revealed to have been getting treatments from Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Monika Kiripolsky. In late July, the dermatologist uploaded a selfie alongside the actress following an appointment in preparation for Lohan's red carpet appearance at the El Capitan Theatre for the Hollywood premiere of Freakier Friday. However, the dermatologist replied that 'due to patient confidentiality, I can't say what treatments I've done. 'But, EVERY patient in our practice is offered the most cutting-edge combination of lasers, peels, injectables, lipo, and other amazing treatments... Always customized to that particular patient and his/her goals.' 'Ugh perfection,' another follower wrote 'Yes please drop the skincare routine girlie,' one comment read among many other messages with similar sentiments Lohan began to appear on Kiripolsky's Instagram page last year, and the actress herself has also credited the celebrity dermatologist for her radiant skin. During an interview with Byrdie earlier this month, the star expressed, 'I'm also big on staying consistent with my routines so I feel my best. 'That includes regular visits to my Los Angeles dermatologist, Dr. Monika Kiripolsky, whenever I'm in town for work.' Lohan continued, 'She helps keep my skin healthy and glowing especially during breaks from heavy on-set makeup.' While talking to Elle back in May for a cover story, the actress addressed plastic surgery rumors after photos of the star went viral last year over her youthful transformation. The topic was brought up when Lohan revealed that she has been in the process of potentially creating her own beauty line. 'It's taking a long time because I'm very specific, because I'm crazy about my skin and health,' she explained. SNL star Chloe Fineman — who interviewed her — complimented Lohan on having the 'skin of dreams.' 'You look AMAZING GIRL,' the fan gushed 'Spill all the treatment secrets. The lovers and friends need to know,' one social media user commented Another praised her for being 'so fresh looking' 'Your skin looks amazing,' one fan commented before calling her a 'gorgeous lady' In response, the mom-of-one stated that 'everyone does Botox' before Fineman encouraged the actress to share some of her beauty secrets. 'Oh, God, I don't even know how to answer that. I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. 'My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing — I'm testing them,' she continued. 'Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I'm into lasers.' In regards to her 'glow-up,' Lohan also shared the negative side to it. Her publicist chimed in to say: 'Yeah, but you know what the problem is with you being beautiful women — the second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It's so mean.'

Forgotten drama that had viewers 'glued to their screens' flies up UK streaming
A forgotten mystery drama starring Jodie Whittaker has had viewers 'glued to their screens' since it dropped on streaming. One Night aired in Australia, the series One Night was made available to UK viewers in November 2024 but quickly pulled from streaming/ The six-part series followed friends Tess (Jodie), Simone (Nicole da Silva) and Hat (Yael Stone), whose lives have been changed by 'the traumatic events of one night in their hometown twenty years previously'. It was teased of the show: 'One Night is the story of three women whose bond was all but destroyed by the traumatic events of one night 20 years ago. 'Since then, Simone has harboured secret hopes of becoming a novelist, but most of her haphazard attempts have been shoved into her bottom drawer. Now, at the age of 40, she has finally written the one story she could never get out of her mind, and her debut manuscript has become an unexpected overnight success. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. 'But it soon becomes apparent that the devastating story the book tells doesn't exclusively belong to her. At the heart of Simone's novel is a tragedy which also happened to Tess (Jodie Whittaker) and Hat (Yael Stone), her two childhood best friends. 'As it becomes harder to prise fact from fiction, one person's memory and story from another's, the book threatens to derail all their friendships, bringing old traumas to the surface of the small coastal community where they grew up, and stirring its perpetrators, who want to make it all go away.' Despite it being labelled a 'very solid crime drama' by critics, One Night suddenly disappeared from Paramount Plus after just three months. It was explained at the time that this was due to the platform reportedly shifting towards a focus on Hollywood-style content with mass appeal and wider cost-savings efforts. However, ITV has now brought the show back and is allowing viewers to tune in. Since landing on the service, the show has found a new lease on life and is currently third on ITVX's 'Top 10 Most Watched TV' shows. Fans of the show have been keen to make their feelings known with Rudolph Reindeer writing on Google: 'Praying for a second season, binged season 1 in one day, every episode kept me glued to it. So real and so brilliant, the cast was so well selected.' Vicky Hyde was similarly impressed, adding: I'm not one to normally write reviews, but this show was too good not to. Came for Whittaker and stayed for the whole show. Whittaker's performance just took the cap off! Absolutely phenomenal and definitely award-worthy.' General audiences weren't the only ones who were impressed, either. At the time of its release, The Guardian wrote the following about One Night: 'The overall effect is very much of an Australian Big Little Lies – a female-centred story played out mostly amongst affluent people in shiny clothes and shinier houses.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'With strong performances and a diverse cast, it demands attention — but its biggest triumph may just be in the conversations it sparks after it's watched,' The London Evening Standard shared. 'The show might have benefitted from unspooling its central narrative over fewer episodes because after the halfway mark the drama becomes less character-driven, skating into crime mystery territory. But the acting throughout One Night is incredible,' The Age added. One Night was the first TV role since playing the first female Doctor for Jodie. Reflecting on what drew her to the project, the 41-year-old actress explained that the drama depicted a story about sexual assault in a way that felt 'completely unique' to her. 'What made this completely unique to me and completely engrossing was the change of POV [point of view],' she told Metro. 'Very often it's told from outside in – there's an investigation, there's detectives, there's people working things out. This is about the decimation something like that can have. 'It's also about how the event – whether it happened a minute ago or 20 years ago – is defining for a group of women that it affects, particularly this friendship group. But also what it's about is how we all survive something like that and who owns memory, who has the right to tell stories, and especially if that story is true.' More Trending One Night was created and written by the award-winning Emily Ballou (The Slap, Taboo) and directed by Catherine Millar (The Twelve, The Secrets She Keeps) and Lisa Matthews (Doctor Doctor). It also stars Kat Stewart, George Mason, Erroll Shand, Noni Hazlehurst, Tina Bursill (Doctor Doctor), William Zappa, Damien Strouthos and Jillian Nguyen. One Night is streaming now on ITVX .

Gavin Newsom is expertly trolling Fox News stars by mimicking Trump online — right down to the nicknames
Over the past week, Gavin Newsom's press office has been deliberately aping Donald Trump's over-the-top social media posting style in an obvious attempt to not only troll the president's most ardent defenders but also force them to come to grips with Trump's bullying and bombastic tone. The pitch-perfect parody, which comes as the California governor goes on the attack against Trump while clearly eying a run for president, has also resulted in a number of Fox News stars taking the bait – and seemingly making Newsom's point for him. 'DANA 'DING DONG' PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM!' the governor's press office account tweeted on Tuesday. 'FOX HATES THAT I AM AMERICA'S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR ("RATINGS KING") SAVING AMERICA — WHILE TRUMP CAN'T EVEN CONQUER THE 'BIG' STAIRS ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE!!! TRUMP HAS 'LOST HIS STEP' AND FOX IS LOSING IT BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE, AMERICA NOW WINS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.' The all-caps screed, complete with a juvenile nickname and satirically signed 'GCN' to mimic Trump adding 'DJT' to his Truth Social posts, came after Fox News host Dana Perino groused Monday afternoon about Newsom's tweets while urging him to cut it out if he wanted to be taken seriously. 'You have to stop it with the Twitter thing,' Perino complained on The Five. 'I don't know where his wife is? If I were his wife I would say, 'You are making a fool of yourself, stop it!'' Noting that Newsom has presidential ambitions, she added: 'Do not let your staff tweet—and if you are doing it yourself, put the phone away and start over. He's got a big job as governor of California, but if he wants an even bigger job he has to be a little more serious.' Perino, however, wasn't the only one to fall into the trap set by Newsom and his social media team. Earlier this week, Tomi Lahren – a Fox News contributor who first shot to fame for her take-no-prisoners liberal-bashing monologues – objected to Newsom's press office mockingly referring to MAGA activist Scott Presler – who is openly gay – as GOP Rep. Nancy Mace. 'New lows unlocked by @GavinNewsom and his team of losers,' Lahren fumed on X, only for the governor's social team to throw back MAGA's favorite attack line back in her face. 'You sound woke,' the press office fired back. The governor's office used a similar tactic last week when Fox News host Raymond Arroyo expressed indignation that Newsom said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — who is confined to a wheelchair — had 'rolled over' after Trump called for Texas to redraw its congressional maps. 'We asked for a statement, and Newsom's office gave us something flippant like, 'You're so woke, he'll get over it,'' Arroyo grumbled before airing the press office's comment, which read: 'No. But how woke of you to ask! I'm sorry Greg's feelings were hurt. Poor guy — we hope he recovers.' Meanwhile, Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher was also apoplectic about Newsom's new approach, which has ramped up as he's taken the fight to Trump and Republicans over their mid-decade redistricting efforts ahead of next year's midterm elections. 'I don't know what he's trying to do, but it comes across as childish and – you are the governor of the biggest state in the union – what are you doing?!' Gallagher complained on Friday night. 'BIRD-BRAIN TREY GALLAGHER (A SO-CALLED FOX 'NEWS' HOST THAT NOBODY HAS EVER HEARD OF) SAYS MY POSTS ARE 'CHILDISH' AND 'UNBECOMING' OF A LEADER — CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? MANY ARE SAYING FOX ("EDIT THE TAPES") NEWS SHOULD CANCEL HIS PATHETIC LITTLE 'BEDTIME SHOW' IMMEDIATELY,' Newsom's team tweeted in response the following day. 'THEY ARE CALLING IT THE MOST BORING PROGRAM IN CABLE HISTORY. TOTAL SNOOZE FEST! SAD!!! — GCN.' Gallgher followed suit on Monday night by criticizing Newsom's 'new Trumpian style' of posting, claiming his tweet mocking the Fox News host was an attempt to be 'clever' before calling for the governor to stop obsessing about Trump. He then went on to name-check The Mamas and the Papas and The Beverly Hillbillies while urging Newsom to pay more attention to his state than his social media activity. Perino also couldn't help herself, jumping online to double and triple down on her on-air commentary about the governor's Trump mimicry – all while seeming blissfully unaware of the point of Newsom's parody of the president. Responding to Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau sarcastically stating that Newsom 'should take a lesson from Donald Trump on this' before asking her what she thought about the president's social media habits, Perino tweeted that 'copying isn't a good look and it isn't working' while suggesting the governor come up with original content. 'I mean, it's pretty clearly a parody of Trump's absolutely insane all caps, often non-sensical posts. Probably why all the people in my life who aren't political junkies keep reaching out to say they don't know much about Newsom but think the tweets are hilarious,' Favreau replied. 'Humor and mockery can be quite effective!' 'Cool if it works and he's your 2028 nom, I will buy you dinner,' Perino reacted. As if to hammer home the point to Perino, Newsom's office responded to Perino's comments by gleefully posting: 'ALMOST A WEEK IN AND THEY STILL DON'T GET IT.' Indeed, the governor himself hasn't exactly been coy about what his intentions are in adopting the online persona of a full-time Trumpian troll. While the social media operation – which is operated by a multi-aide staff – has generated over a billion impressions across a variety of platforms, Newsom has said outright that anyone upset with his account's online insults and trollish behavior should turn their attention towards the White House. 'I'm just following his example,' Newsom said last week. 'If you have issues with what I'm putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he's putting out as president.' He continued: 'To the extent it's gotten some attention, I'm pleased, but I think the deeper question is how have we allowed the normalization of his tweets, Truth Social posts over the course of the last many years, to go without similar scrutiny and notice?' As CNN's Andrew Kirell noted in Tuesday's edition of the Reliable Sources newsletter, Newsom is essentially punking the right-wing media ecosystem right now with this tactic. 'The effort, clearly designed to hold a mirror up to MAGA and 'bully the bullies,' so to speak, has evidently gone over the heads of many conservative media personalities, baiting them into making Newsom's point about Trump's behavior on their own,' he wrote. Meanwhile, after Perino once again revisited the subject during Tuesday's broadcast of The Five by insisting that 'we get the joke' but that 'it's just not funny,' Kirell asserted that this was precisely what the governor's social media operation was meant to expose. 'I'm fascinated by how they don't seem to understand that saying 'it's just not funny' is exactly the reaction his team is aiming for,' he posted on X. 'It's the whole point.' Pointing out that Gallagher and Perino seemed 'oblivious they were criticizing a parody of Trump himself,' Mediaite's Colby Hall explained that Newsom was 'shooting fish in a barrel' at this point. 'Newsom's feed isn't Trumpian—it's an X-ray of Trumpian excess, but as if it were delivered by the king of ironically detached comedy himself, Steve Martin,' Hall stated. 'Newsom didn't just enter the arena of schoolyard retorts; he grabbed the microphone, turned it upside down, and made the absurd impossible to ignore.' While others, such as The Bulwark's Sarah Longwell, have spelled out that Newsom is making MAGA 'uncomfortable because he's holding up a mirror to what you tolerate on behalf of partisanship,' Democrats are increasingly embracing the governor's approach because it shows his willingness to fight. 'That allows Newsom to step out in front and say he is the first one to stand against Texas's actions,' The Independent's Eric Garcia wrote last week, referencing the Texas redistricting battle. 'Specifically, the Texas Democrats who decamped to blue states said they would return to Texas because California would respond in kind if Texas passed their new maps.' He concluded: '2028 is a long way off and plenty could change. Other candidates might be able to prove Newsom is a paper tiger. But then again, plenty of Republicans waited for Trump to implode and he laid waste to them.'
