Lady A singer Hillary Scott gives birth to 4th daughter
July 30 (UPI) -- Lady A's Hillary Scott is a mom of four.
The singer, 39, gave birth to her fourth daughter, Selah Jean, on Friday.
Scott confirmed the news on Instagram Stories Tuesday writing, "Our sweet baby girl is here!"
"Her name means 'pause and reflect' and 'God is gracious,' and in the few short days she's been here with us, we can already see that she embodies both of those phrases," said Scott and her husband Chris Tyrell in a statement to People. "She truly feels like the most priceless gift -- like Christmas in July!"
Selah Jean joins the couple's three older daughters -- Eisele Kay, 12, and twins Emory JoAnn and Betsy Mack, 7.

‘A damn good start': Grateful Dead reflect on 60th anniversary at Golden Gate Park
In the wake of a sold-out, three-night run in Golden Gate Park commemorating the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary, the band's surviving members and collaborators took to social media to reflect on what may have been the group's final bow. 'Night 3 in Golden Gate Park... will be one we'll never forget,' guitarist John Mayer posted on Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 5. The musician also recalled his first onstage collaboration with Phish's Trey Anastasio. 'The lock we had going was instant,' Mayer wrote. 'Trey's ear-to-fretboard data transfer time is unparalleled.' Mayer, who joined original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann in 2015 to form Dead & Company, has long acknowledged the legacy he stepped into. 'I'll never come close to playing like Jerry Garcia,' he acknowledged. 'But if I can somehow get you closer to him... then I suppose I've done my job.' The anniversary shows on Friday-Sunday, Aug. 1–3, coinciding with what would have been Garcia's 83rd birthday. Each night featured entirely different setlists and a rotating cast of guest acts, including Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson (performing as Johnny Blue Skies) and Anastasio. Though billed as a celebration, the weekend also carried a palpable sense of closure. Drummer Hart called the experience 'truly profound.' 'I saw 60,000 people sparking light, in love, (entertained) big time and coming our way,' he wrote in a post on Wednesday, Aug. 6. 'Different than applause after a song, it sounded more like an ahhhhhh. All the peace and love in proximity generated a collective energy that was shared by all. Very rare stuff indeed.' Hart also shared a surreal vision of lost bandmates, Garcia, Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan and most recently Phil Lesh. 'I saw Jerry and Phil and Pigpen hovering over the crowd smiling like Cheshire cats,' he wrote. 'All the peace and love in proximity generated a collective energy that was shared by all.' Hart continued, 'In the final moments of the weekend standing right next to Bob and feeling the raw emotion coming our way from our fans, I felt Bob's heartbeat, along with mine, and the deep connection we have with all of you. All the years combine. They melt into a dream.' Weir, the band's rhythm guitarist and one of two original members who performed this weekend, was characteristically succinct: '60 years… I'd say that's a damn good start.' Kreutzmann, who stepped away from touring in 2023, offered a message from afar. 'Thank you for celebrating 60 years of not just Grateful Dead music, but also Grateful Dead community, friendships and love,' he wrote Monday, Aug. 4. 'We will survive.' Though Dead & Company concluded its official farewell tour at Oracle Park in 2023, this weekend's homecoming — in the city where the band first took shape — felt like a more fitting epilogue. Tens of thousands of fans packed Golden Gate Park, flooding the surrounding streets in a celebration as much about the music as the enduring spirit it created. 'Happy 60th, Grateful Dead,' Mayer wrote. 'And long may you run.'

Brad Pitt's mother Jane Pitt dies at 84, family mourns her loss
Brad Pitt 's mother, Jane Pitt, has died at the age of 84, the actor's niece, Sydney Pitt, announced this week. According to her obituary, Jane Pitt died on Tuesday, Aug. 5. She is survived by her husband William Alvin "Bill" Pitt and their children, Brad Pitt, Doug Pitt and Julie Neal (née Pitt). In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Sydney Pitt, Doug Pitt's daughter, wrote a touching tribute to her grandmother, celebrating her legacy and the love she gave to others. "My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier," she wrote in the caption alongside photos of Jane Pitt throughout her life. "If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked," she continued. "She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things. She made up the silliest games just to make us laugh, and she believed in fairness, in putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do." Sydney Pitt also recalled how every year before school, Jane would give each grandchild a "special day," filled with activities like banana splits, board games and rides at Silver Dollar City. "She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it," Sydney Pitt added. "I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form." "We were truly blessed to have her to love on growing up and I know she lives on through each of us ♥️🪽✨🦜," she concluded the post. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Jane Pitt was a former elementary school teacher who raised Brad Pitt and her two other children with her husband, Bill Pitt, in Springfield, Missouri. While Jane Pitt and Bill typically avoided the spotlight, they occasionally accompanied their famous son on the red carpet, including at the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken." Her obituary also highlights Jane Pitt's passion for art and her devoted role as a grandmother. "Jane was a gifted artist who expressed herself most vividly through painting," the obituary read. "Her love for art became a cherished bond between her and her grandchildren during craft sessions and painting lessons that created lasting memories." "Known affectionately as 'Grammy,' Jane found immense joy in celebrating each grandchild's uniqueness through one-on-one traditions lovingly known as 'Your Special Day,'" the note continued. "These treasured moments remain among the fondest memories for all fourteen of her grandchildren."

'Devil Wears Prada 2' photos tease Anne Hathaway's possible love interest
Andy Sachs has officially left the "lumpy blue sweater" behind. Photos from the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" may offer some insight into the big-city life of Anne Hathaway's character two decades after the beloved original book adaptation came out on June 30, 2006. In photos captured Aug. 5 on the streets of Brooklyn, Hathaway, 42, is seen getting cozy with a new costar, "Colin from Accounts" actor/creator Patrick Brammall. Hathaway, whose character Andy is presumably out from under the thumb of "Runway" magazine overlord Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), dons a glittery blue, shin-length Rabanne dress from the designer's 2026 cruise collection. Perhaps an ode to the cerulean sweater that prompted Priestly's long-winded rant in the original film? That remains to be seen. It's unclear what character Brammall, 49, plays in the sequel. The Australian actor is married to "Colin from Accounts" costar and co-creator Harriet Dyer. In the first "Devil Wears Prada," Andy's love life is largely a casualty as her job as Priestly's second assistant takes precedence. She lives with her boyfriend, Nate (Adrian Grenier), but the two ultimately are unable to find middle ground as Andy develops an edge while working in the cutthroat fashion world. She also dabbles in a romance with journalist Christian Thompson (Simon Baker), which doesn't pan out. Details of the highly anticipated sequel are scant while it's in production, but fans have for weeks dissected the characters' fashion, as captured in paparazzi photos. "The Devil Wears Prada," based on the book of the same name, grossed more than $325 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Academy Award nomination for best actress. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' cast Among the returning stars are Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak flesh out the cast, according to Variety and People. Undoubtedly bringing comic relief, "Sex Lives of College Girls" actress Pauline Chalamet will also appear, according to the outlets. The film has also brought in Broadway talent, with "Maybe Happy Ending" star Helen J. Shen and "Oh, Mary!" actor Conrad Ricamora confirmed, per Variety. The halls of Runway won't be missing familiar faces, though. Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, Hathaway's best friend, will reprise her character, as will Tibor Feldman, who portrayed media executive Irv Ravitz. David Frankel, director of the original "Devil Wears Prada," is returning for the sequel, and the first movie's screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, is writing the script. "The Devil Wears Prada 2" will give Hathaway the opportunity to revisit one of her most iconic early roles, 20 years later. The first movie hit theaters just five years after she made her film debut with 2001's "The Princess Diaries." When will 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' come out? "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is set for release on May 1, 2026. Contributing: Brendan Morrow and Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY
