Hear this story
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."

Marcus Jordan spotted living his best life in Miami, despite ‘Real Housewives' drama
Whose ears are burning? Marcus Jordan may be a major plot point in the new season of 'Real Housewives of Miami,' but he's in a totally different era now. The sneaker entrepreneur's on-and-off relationship with Larsa Pippen is spotlighted big time in the first episode, which started filming last summer. The ladies get into a few tiffs over Michael Jordan's son, because Pippen is annoyed that a few of them still follow him on Instagram. These days, the exes, who were so close that they had a podcast together called 'Separation Anxiety,' are completely kaput. How do we know? First off, Pippen went social media official with basketball player Jeff Coby a few weeks ago. The 31-year-old 'A Mindful Journey' author also appeared by her side at the premiere party last week at Rosa Negra restaurant in Brickell. On the show, the 50-year-old claimed her family wanted her to break things off with the fellow Chicagoan. 'When I was with Marcus, my kids were like, 'Stop getting back together and breaking up, and just get off the ride,'' the Bravolebrity told her mom. 'That's when I was like, 'I need to get away from the situation.'' As for the NBA legend's heir, he was spotted over the weekend getting cozy in Miami Beach with two mystery women whose identities were not outed by TMZ. Despite the fact that he looks like he's living his best life now, the 34-year-old had quite the tumultuous time after his split with Pippen. Jordan was arrested in February after getting his Lambo SUV stuck on train tracks in Maitland, Fla., outside Orlando. One lucky break: Officers initially thought he was carrying cocaine in his pocket, but further testing revealed the powdery substance in his pocket was ketamine, the anesthetic that led to Matthew Perry's death. Prosecutors officially changed the drug possession charge to a third degree felony. That will likely mean a less harsh penalty when Jordan heads to court to plead his case in September.

BookCon is back! Exclusive details on popular fan event's return
BookCon is back! Exclusive details on popular fan event's return Hang onto your hardcovers, book fanatics – BookCon is returning next year for the first time since 2019. The annual Comic-Con-style fan event was a staple in the book community from 2014 until 2019, the last time the convention was held in person. BookCon 2020 was canceled and moved online due to the pandemic, and at the end of the year, pop culture event producer ReedPop announced BookCon and BookExpo would retire. That changes in April 2026, when BookCon comes back to New York City, ReedPop shared exclusively with USA TODAY. BookCon is coming back to New York City in 2026 ReedPop will host authors, publishers, brands and, most importantly, fans, at the Javits Center in New York City on April 18 and 19. In a statement to USA TODAY, ReedPop called the plans for the 2026 show a 'wholly reimagined event.' BookCon will feature book signings, clubs and swaps, author talks, workshops, panels, crafting zones and more. Historically, BookCon has been as star-studded as it has been packed with household-name bestsellers. Past celebrity authors and speakers have been included Nick Offerman, Amy Poehler, John Green, Jeff Kinney, Mindy Kaling and Jodi Picoult. 'BookCon has always been an incredibly special event to our team and when we made the difficult decision to cancel the show in 2020, we did so with the hope that we would bring the event back even bigger and better when the time felt right. We are so excited to welcome our BookCon community home next April for an event that has been fully reimagined to include everything fans loved about BookCon, plus so much more,' said Jenny Martin, event director at ReedPop. 'At BookCon, we believe stories are sacred, books are identity, and community is everything. We invite all of you to join us as we create a space where passion is celebrated and all of you are our main characters.'

Lil Wayne Earns His First Hit On One Chart As His New Album Debuts
Lil Wayne has been charting hit albums around the world for decades. He got his start as a teenager, becoming a superstar in the rap world at a very young age. The hip-hop powerhouse has continued to work for many years and remains hugely prolific, even if he has spaced out his past few releases by several years. After nearly half a decade, his new project Tha Carter VI arrives on a multitude of tallies across the Atlantic. In the United Kingdom, the title underperforms in some respects while also earning the Grammy winner his first placement on one important ranking. Tha Carter VI debuts at No. 28 on the latest edition of the Official Vinyl Albums chart. Amazingly, Wayne scores his first appearance ever on the list of the bestselling vinyl titles in the country. While he has released projects on wax in the past, it appears that none of them sold well enough in a single tracking period to make a home on this roster. The Official Vinyl Albums chart in the U.K. is packed this week with several exciting new releases. While Tha Carter VI starts at No. 28, Wayne earns the fifteenth loftiest debut at the moment. The top 10 is crowded with eight launches, including projects from Pulp, Addison Rae, Marina, and Turnstile, among others. Tha Carter VI earns Wayne one of his loftiest starts this week on the U.K. rankings on the Official Vinyl Albums list. The new project reaches a total of seven tallies, and it opens inside the top 40 on about half of them. The sixth installment in Wayne's Tha Carter series opens highest on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. It manages a top 10 beginning on that tally, kicking off its time in fifth place. The arrival gives Wayne his seventh top 10. The full-length is also new to the Official Album Downloads chart, where it starts at No. 32. Tha Carter VI doesn't perform quite as well on several other rosters, including those dedicated to pure purchases, streaming activity, and the all-encompassing Official Albums chart. The title misses the top 40 on all of them and even brings Wayne to a new career low on a handful of those rankings.
