Netflix In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, Ortega revealed that the massive success following 'Wednesday' actually left her unhappy. "To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person," Ortega said. "After the pressure, the attention — as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Introducing our summer 2025 cover star: #JennaOrtega. From 'Jane the Virgin' to 'You' and 'Scream,' Ortega's been gracing our screens for years now. But it was Netflix's 'Wednesday' that made her a global phenomenon. Still, she's determined not to be constrained by it. Ahead of… — Harper's BAZAAR (@harpersbazaarus) May 28, 2025 However, there are plenty of positive things Ortega has taken from Wednesday Addams. "I definitely feel like I have a bit more Gothic taste than I did when I was a teenager," Ortega said. "I've always been into dark things or been fascinated by them, but I was a Disney kid, and the whole thing is being bubbly and kind and overly sweet."

"I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area," Ortega revealed. "Season 2 is bigger, bolder, gorier, and a bit darker. It's sillier in the best way possible."

"I want to be able to give back to them. But I also want to do things that are creatively fulfilling to me," Ortega said. "So it's finding that balance of doing movies that they might be interested in and then doing movies that I'm interested in. "[I want roles that are] older and bolder and different. And then I want to be able to line up all of my girls and see something different in all of them." 'Wednesday' Season 2 is set to release in two parts on Netflix, starting on Aug. 6 and ending on Sept. 3.

Rihanna gives update on elusive R9 album after pregnancy bombshell
Rihanna has insisted her new album won't be delayed too much by her pregnancy. The 37-year-old pop star - who is expecting her third child with her partner A$AP Rocky - confirmed the happy news at the Met Gala on Monday (05.05.25), and some fans were wondering if it will impact her long awaited record. Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', the 'Umbrella' hitmaker was asked if the album - which has been dubbed 'R9' - will be "put on pause even longer", she said: "No, maybe a couple of videos." Fans have been waiting nine years for the collection, but RiRi hinted plans are still in place. She quipped: "I can sing!" Rihanna - who already has sons RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with Rocky - also revealed she isn't "too overwhelmed" by her pregnancy, although there was some initial shock. She added: "I'm good! I'm shockingly feeling ok, and not too overwhelmed at the moment. At first it was kinda like, 'Ahhh!' " In the meantime, fans are still waiting for the follow-up to 2016's 'Anti'. While details are few and far between, in February she offered a tease of what fans can expect from the album. She told Harper's BAZAAR magazine: "I've been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn't hit me. I was searching for it. "I went through phases of what I wanted to do. 'This kind of album, not that album'. I know it's not going to be anything that anybody expects. 'And it's not going to be commercial or radio, digestible. It's going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I've finally cracked it, girl!' Rihanna insisted there was "no genre" for the album, and she has been determined to make the next batch of songs something "matching [her] evolution". She added: "After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. "It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait. "I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.'

Met Gala 2025: A splendid night of suits, bodices and bodysuits
The hotly anticipated Met Gala got underway on Monday (May 5). At fashion's biggest night out, Hollywood's biggest names braved the rain to stroll down the blue carpet. Tailored for You, this year's dress code, was inspired by the Costume Institute's accompanying exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style which explores black dandyism history. On the dress code, the Met says its annual theme is designed to 'provide guidance and invite creative interpretation'. With the dress code centred on menswear – a first for Met Gala – celebrities who only go by their first names pulled out all the stops, putting imaginative spins on suits. Zendaya's custom Louis Vuitton white suit and hat combo showed off her slender frame. It was a tough look to beat especially for her accidental fashion twin Anna Sawai who wear a similar Dior suit. Blackpink's Lisa channelled her inner Crazy Horse for her Met Gala debut. The K-pop superstar wore a black lace men's blazer designed by Louis Vuitton Men's creative director Pharrell Williams. Meanwhile, it was what was on the White Lotus star's knickers that caught the attention of eagle-eyed netizens. Some think that one of the faces on the star's knickers could be prominent civil rights icon Rosa Park. According to the French fashion house, the print on Lisa's knickers was created by American artist Henry Taylor and depicts 'portraits of figures who have been a part of the artist's life'. Exactly who they are is anyone's guess.

She wore a vintage Chanel look in 2023 and an Alaia minidress last year. Blinks are calling the monochrome tux this year her best look yet. View this post on Instagram A post shared by E! News (@enews) Rihanna revealed her third pregnancy just hours before the Met Gala. The Diamonds singer flaunted her baby bump in a cropped blazer and pinstripe skirt ensemble.

She surely knows the most iconic way(s) to do her pregnancy announcement – and that too, without spending any words whatsoever! Met Gala isn't unfamiliar territory for Queen RiRi ! Nor is closing down the carpet! But this time, the 'Diamonds' star took it a notch higher and revealed the baby bump on the Met Gala Blue Carpet! Diamond on the Blue Carpet! Just when we thought that Black Dandyism couldn't get any better than that, Queen RiRi did her thing! As her annual ritual goes, she came, she closed down the carpet, and she slayed – with a baby bump on display! Earlier, when her beau and the co-chair of the Met Gala this year, A$AP Rocky, hit the red carpet alone, the rumors were abuzz about whether Rihanna was going to skip this year's event after she let the world have a sneak peek at her baby bump just last night. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, Queen RiRi obviously knew better, and had a plan to do her pregnancy reveal in the most spectacular way possible – even better than the Super Bowl Halftime show! And as always, the wait was worth it! Rihanna — being fashionably late — hit the carpet around 10 pm, adorning a boned corset by Marc Jacobs and a wide-brimmed black hat. Confirming her pregnancy, the 'We Found Love' star seemed to respond when she met shouts of congratulations with: 'Thank you!' Mother RiRi: The music superstar and the beauty mogul is already a mom to two children: sons Riot Rose, 21 months, and RZA Athelston, who turns 3 this month. Rihanna is expecting baby No. 3 with her beau, A$AP Rocky. However, like previous times, the pop icon did not reveal the gender of her yet-to-be-born baby. The romance: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's romance has been one of a kind! The strength of their bond has even withstood the turbulent trial of Rocky, who was found not guilty in his trial on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The power couple first met in September 2012, during rehearsals for their performance of "Cockiness (Love It)" at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. While their initial encounter was a collaboration on a song and performance, their romantic relationship began later, with Vogue stating that it blossomed in late 2019, and Harper's BAZAAR confirming that they went official in summer 2020. Rihanna flaunts her baby bump yet again but this time in a solo picture
