Machine Gun Kelly reveals daughter's name, gives shout-out to ex-fiancée Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly is one smitten papa.
The 35-year-old Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, who welcomed a daughter with ex-fiancée Megan Fox in March, revealed the baby's name in an Instagram post June 17. The post included an adorable video of Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, serenading the infant with an ukulele.
"Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥," Kelly wrote. "Thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox."
The "My Ex's Best Friend" singer announced Saga's birth in a March 27 Instagram post, which included a black-and-white clip of Kelly caressing the newborn's hand. "She's finally here!! our little celestial seed," he wrote at the time.

Despite initial fan speculation that the baby's name was "Celestial Seed," Kelly debunked the rumor in a follow-up post on his Instagram Story. "Her mom is gonna tell you the name when we're ready," he'd written.
Fox revealed the former couple was expecting in November 2024 on social media. Saga marks Fox's fourth child after having three children with actor and "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Brian Austin Green. Kelly shares a daughter with his ex, Emma Cannon.
The news of Fox's pregnancy came about a year after she shared that she and Kelly previously experienced pregnancy loss.
"I've never been through anything like that before in my life," she told "Good Morning America" at the time. "I have three kids. So it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together."

Fox and Kelly also became engaged in January 2022. But in an interview on "Call Her Daddy" in March 2024, Fox confirmed she and Kelly had called the engagement off, though at the time she wouldn't go into detail about their current relationship status.
"I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se," she said. "What I can say is: That is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul,' and there will always be a tether to him no matter what."

Sydney Sweeney wears denim in social media return, but doesn't address American Eagle ad
Sydney Sweeney returned to Instagram this week (in denim), but she didn't address her controversial American Eagle ad. The "Euphoria" star, 27, took to the social media platform Aug. 13 to promote her 2023 film "Americana" which is now airing in select theaters two years after it was first released. Sweeney – who plays an aspiring country singer Penny Jo Poplin in the flick – captioned the post, "A few years ago I filmed this little movie with some friends and now you get to meet penny jo." She then posted a photo carousel Aug. 15 on the film's release day with a behind-the-scenes look at her personal life, posing in blue denim jeans and a white top. American Eagle breaks silence on Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy "Duval diaries," she captioned the post, seemingly a nod to Duval County, Florida. Sweeney owns a home in the state. The images included Sweeney with a group of men and platter of alcoholic shots, posing with a separate group of women, and preparing to sing karaoke with a friend. The Hollywood star has remained mum on the ad backlash, avoiding any public statements to the press or her fans about the incident. On Aug. 1, American Eagle spoke out and doubled down on their ad after days of discourse about the ad campaign in an Instagram post. "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way," the statement read. "Great jeans look good on everyone." USA TODAY reached out to reps for Sweeney for comment. The marketing campaign courted controversy after social media users argued that the phrase "great genes" paired with a blond-haired, blue-eyed star echoed eugenic ideas — the discredited belief in improving humanity through selective breeding. In one of several videos for the campaign, Sweeney, clad in a denim-on-denim fit, dabbles in some wordplay, telling cameras: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color." "My jeans are blue," Sweeney said in the video. The fall 2025 denim campaign ends each promotional video with the tagline, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." Contributing: Caché McClay

The docuseries ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' isn't bad, except the Tom Brady parts
Well, here's the basic timeline. Appreciated every extraordinary thing he did on the field during his 20 years with the Patriots … recognized he was getting weird on us with stuff like the Alex Guerrero connection, offensively overpriced TB12 gear, and the no-mushroom policy, but hey, his unprecedented late-career excellence made for a heck of a case on his behalf … cringed when the formerly down-to-earth young QB who used to chug beers faster than his linemen started pushing crypto and running with the oligarch class… watched almost every broadcast of his rookie season as Fox's lead NFL analyst last fall, eventually concluding that the reason he didn't show much personality is that it might not be there to show … But the tipping point that brought on the aforementioned realization was Brady's behavior in his version of a current trend among the rich, famous, and presumably bored — buying an English soccer team, and making a documentary about it in which the star is the rescuing hero. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' is a five-episode docuseries that debuted at the end of July on Amazon Prime. It's about a Champions League soccer team (the second tier in English soccer, below the Premier League) that Brady and his private equity pal Tom Wagner recognize as an undervalued asset (always heart-warming when vultures find their food) and purchase, with Brady taking on minority ownership but with full boss duties. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham' is not bad at all. The city (gritty, industrial, and full of amusingly blunt fans that will remind you of specific Ted Lasso side characters), players (the third episode, featuring star player Jay Stansfield's back story, is the best in the series), and the team (whose history roughly resembles the Red Sox' from 1919-2003) are compelling. The problem is it's far less interesting when Brady is around. He speaks to the players in bromides and banalities — 'We practice like it's the Super Bowl' — about his time with the Patriots (and Bucs), which he seems to presume these futbol players know from A to Z and XXXVI to LV. He punctuates his Cliff Notes Tony Robbins proclamations with a specific expletive so often that it's a wonder it hasn't slipped through on a Fox broadcast. Related : When he is involved, Brady — who describes his role as 'being there in a visionary role' — only seems authentic when he's belittling something or angry. He joins his friends in talking condescendingly about the city and the team as they're on he way to see the Blues' aged facilities for the first time. Before a game against Wrexham — famously owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney — Brady tells the camera, 'Let's go get a [expletive] win against Wrexham ... Ryan Reynolds, Mackilrey, whatever your [expletive] name is.' Advertisement When Wagner informs Brady that putting together a swag bag for visiting legend David Beckham would be considered a faux pas — Beckham never played for the team — Brady gets a look on his face that suggests Joey Galloway just ran the wrong route again. He tells Wagner through a scowl that Beckham should be gifted something anyway. He likes to talk about how he was an underdog, but he comes across as someone who can no longer remember what that was like, or what he was like. The most off-putting scene occurred in the opening episode when Brady, Wagner, and his team strategized in the back of an SUV before popping into a local pub to meet some fans for a quick public-relations opportunity and a few more Lasso vibes. 'We have to feel this one out, boys,'' Brady says. 'This is not my thing.' He's told it will only be 15 minutes. He asks if he'll be signing autographs. The pop-in is designed to make him look like a man of the people. He's friendly enough once he's in the pub, but we know how he really feels. His people these days aren't the ones chugging beers. I was hoping while watching the series that Brady might have a revelation by the fifth episode, ditch the processed corporate speak, abandon the arrogant expectation that whatever he says carries weight because of what he accomplished in the NFL, and show some authentic emotion, like he did after winning those first few Super Bowls. I was hoping any success he found in Birmingham would remind him of his best times with the Patriots, and thereby bring out genuine emotions. Related : Advertisement Instead, that happened with, of all people, Wagner, the calculating investor, who by the end is fully invested in the people on this team. I won't spoil the circumstances, because this show is worth watching, despite the Brady frustrations. In the fifth episode, Wagner makes a truly stirring and heartfelt speech, and as I was watching it, I couldn't help but think, 'Man, when the private-equity guy can summon more passion than Tom Brady, that's awfully damning.' Hmmm. Maybe Fox should give Wagner a shot as its lead NFL analyst. Tom Brady comes back to Gillette Stadium for the unveiling of this statue before the New England Patriots preseason game versus the Washington Commanders. Chad Finn can be reached at

Selena Gomez Shares Candid Summer Photos With Benny Blanco and More
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Selena Gomez shared a new carousel of photos on Instagram from her summer, including intimate photos at home and with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. The carousel opened with a stunning picture of Gomez in a pale pink slip with red lace detail around the neckline and hem. She had her hair down and wore a pair of red frame glasses. In the background, Gomez appeared to be watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother. In the photo with Blanco, Gomez is having dinner outside with the music producer and their friends, enjoying a massive plate of oysters and prawns, as well as some cold white wine. The singer included shots promoting various Rare Beauty products, plus scenes from working at home and hanging with pals in the backyard and at events. It seems like it has been a spectacular few months for the Only Murders in the Building star. In the comments, Blanco wrote, 'wait … i'm gonna marry u.' Last weekend, Gomez shared photos with Blanco at the wedding of friends Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco. Blanco worked with Dave star Lil Dicky on his show and they have remained close friends. For the event, Gomez wore a sleeveless red halter dress with a mock turtle neckline and a fuzzy black coat. Blanco wore a dark blue suit over a black button-down, open at the neck to reveal his layered gold necklaces. Gomez captioned her carousel of pictures from the ceremony and reception: 'About last nights wedding 💒' She and Blanco have been engaged since December 2024, but on the August 7 episode of the podcast Therapuss with Jake Shane, Gomez shared that the wedding is not happening anytime soon. 'There's so much happening at the moment,' she explained. 'He's working on some projects that he has to wrap up, and we just have things we want to finish and our own personal endeavors before we get into all the nitty-gritty. I just have really never felt so sure about something, and I also don't want to jinx it by saying that.'
