Machine Gun Kelly Explains the Meaning of the Unique Name He and Megan Fox Gave Their Baby
On Friday, Machine Gun Kelly made an appearance on Today, where he opened up about raising his daughter with Megan Fox. The musical artist recently shared the baby's name, Saga Blade, and he explained the meaning behind the words for himself and Fox. In his explanation, MGK seemed to refer to Fox's experiencing pregnancy loss, which she was quite open about before and after revealing she was expecting.
'Her journey, the five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again, disappearing, coming back again, she's an epic story and that's what Saga means,' said Kelly. 'I'm also of Norwegian heritage and so that's a Nordic goddess of storytelling and I think she has a storytelling future ahead of her. Megan's a great mom and just killing it and I'm so excited.'
In a video posted earlier this week, Kelly can be seen rocking Saga's baby chair while serenading her. The infant can't be seen on camera. In the caption, he wrote, 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥 thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox.'
Fox's poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, touched on her miscarriages. In 2023, Fox shared in an interview with WWD that she had an ectopic pregnancy while in a relationship with Kelly, saying, 'I've had other things that I'm not going to say because God forbid the world will be in an uproar. But I've been through other similar issues, but not with someone who I was so in love with.'
Fox has three other children with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. MGK shares his teen daughter, Casie, with his former partner, Emma Cannon. Fox and Kelly dated for five years and were engaged before splitting late last year, shortly after announcing they were expecting.

85-year-old grandma gets a wholesome surprise at the airport — and her precious reaction goes viral
"This is what life's all about." She thought she was headed to Ireland with her daughter and granddaughter — until two little familiar faces showed up. Great Grandma Mary McCarthy was already thrilled about her 85th birthday trip to Ireland, but her adventure started with an emotional airport reunion that's now going viral. While waiting for her flight at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, Mary suddenly spotted two unexpected travel companions: her great-grandsons, Finley (6) and Wyatt (4), who had secretly flown in from Colorado. The boys ran into her arms yelling, 'We surprised you!' — and the sweet moment was caught on video. 'I looked out there and I said, 'That kid looks just like Finley!'' McCarthy told The video, shared on TikTok, has already racked up more than 700,000 views, with commenters calling it 'the sweetest thing on the internet.' The video has sparked an outpouring of love from strangers around the world. One viewer wrote, 'This made me cry happy tears — she's so precious.' Another said, 'These little boys will remember this forever, and so will she.' A third commented simply: 'Protect Grandma Mary at all costs.' 'I think that's why we knew we wanted to make it a surprise, because she has the best reactions,' granddaughter Sarah Giannini, who planned the big reveal, told TODAY. She explained that the setup involved carefully timed texts to her husband: 'We wanted to see how many times he could walk by with the boys without her noticing. So the video picks up right when I text him, and she saw him instantly.' McCarthy admitted she had to hold back her excitement in the terminal. 'I'm surprised I didn't scream louder, but I knew I was in the airport. I told myself, 'You better tone it down,'' she told TODAY. The family went on to enjoy a week in Ireland filled with castle tours, pub dancing, bagpipes, and even falconry. Still, McCarthy said the best part wasn't the sightseeing but the small, everyday moments. 'In the morning they'd come running, give me a hug, and say good morning. It was so nice every single day. I'm getting tears in my eyes thinking about it,' she shared with TODAY. Already, she's looking forward to their next adventure. 'It was amazing. I'd love to go again. Drop of a hat — I'm ready. [It will] only take me 10 minutes to pack!' she said. Next on the list: Disney World. Until then, TikTok commenters are still celebrating her joyful moment. As one fan summed it up: 'This is what life's all about — family, love, and memories.' Solve the daily Crossword

Sling's New $20 'Select' Package Gives You 11 Channels
There's a new $20 skinny bundle on the scene, and you probably want to know what the low-priced live TV package gets you. Sling introduced a fresh package called Sling Select on Tuesday, joining its prior offerings of Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange & Blue plans. Select's selection is a pared-down version of Blue (plus some outliers not found in Blue or Orange), and its price reflects that. Select includes Fox News, FS1, FX, National Geographic, NFL Network, Lifetime Movie Network, Game Show Network, GRIT, H&I, MeTV and Vice. You can also add "extra packs" with additional channels for an additional cost. Select will also offer locals depending on where you live, but prepare to pay more if you want access to one or more of the Fox, NBC and ABC trio. If you're in a market with one or two local channels -- such as Atlanta or Houston -- you will pay an extra $5 per month, and if you're in a market with all three -- such as Los Angeles or New York -- you'll pay an extra $10. Blue costs $46 and $51 per month (locals can impact the price); Some channels you get with Blue but not Select are A&E, AMC, Bravo, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network, HGTV, Lifetime and TLC. Sling, which unveiled live TV streaming Day and Weekend Passes for short-term viewers last week, said in a blog post that the new Select Package supports its aim of giving customers flexibility. Select arrives at a time when there are plenty of lower-priced live TV streamers and packages jostling for people's eyes, including Frndly ($11 for HD streaming), Philo ($28) and DirecTV Genre Packs ($20 and up). The channel selections are more meager than the likes of YouTube TV, but they fill a niche for customers who want to pay less for specific lineups.

Labubu set to become billion-dollar business as sales surpass Barbie, Hot Wheels
Labubu is on track to become a billion-dollar business by the end of the year as sales surpass Hot Wheels and Barbie dolls, parent company Pop Mart reported Aug. 19. Labubus are collectible plush toy dolls manufactured and sold by Pop Mart. They're currently experiencing worldwide viral success and are nearly impossible to get. Retailers are even creating their own counterfeit versions of the dolls called Lafufus to cash in on the demand. Some of the most popular Labubus come in blind boxes, encouraging enthusiasts of the dolls to buy them again and again. They're the subjects of a forthcoming animating series and feature film. Celebrities like Paris Hilton, David Beckham and Kim Kardashian have been seen with the dolls. Teenagers commonly wear key chain versions of the dolls pinned to their belts or purses. Pop Mart's profits skyrocket in 2025 In a financial report released on Aug. 19, Pop Mart said it has seen a net profit of 396% and a 204% jump in revenues due to Labubus, which have generated 4.81 billion RMB ($670 million) for the company so far this year. Labubus made up more than 30% of the company's total revenue. Pop Mart stock is also up 200% since the start of 2025. In written statement, the company said 'we remain committed to refining operations' and 'launching superior designs' to unlock the value of doll's further potential. Labubu sales surpass Barbie, Hot Wheels The numbers are remarkably high for the toy industry. Mattel, one of Pop Mart's key competitors, reported a decline in Barbie sales last month compared with the same quarter last year. Gross billings from its doll sales came in at $335 million worldwide, while toy cars, including Hot Wheels, generated $407 million, up 10%. Still, those numbers fall short to the kind of cash Labubus are raking in. When did Labubu dolls become popular? Labubus were inspired by elves from Nordic folk stories and created by Kasing Lung. They first came to prominence in 2015 as part of an illustrated book series called "The Monsters." In 2019, Lung partnered with Pop Mart to create the dolls. While the dolls were always popular, they didn't take off in China until 2022, after the COVID-19 pandemic. From there, they gradually became a global sensation.
