Former Princess Mako Welcomes Her First Child
Mako Komuro, formerly Princess Mako, gave up her royal status to marry Kei Komuro, a commoner. After their wedding, the couple moved to New York City, where Kei works as a lawyer and Mako reportedly spent time interning at the Met Museum. Now, the couple are new parents, as confirmed by Japan's Imperial Household Agency. The baby, whose name and gender have notbeen disclosed, is the first grandchild for the Crown Prince of Japan and Crown Princess. If Prince Akishino ascends to the Chrysanthemum Throne, the baby will become the grandchild of the Japanese Emperor. 'This is a matter for a person who has left the Imperial Family, and we had hoped that she would spend her time in a quiet environment,' Naomasa Yoshida, grand master of the Crown Prince's Household, said in a press conference, per Japan Times. 'We decided to make the announcement, however, in light of some media reports.' Mako and Kei, both 33, met as students at the International Christian University in Tokyo. Paparazzi photos published by a Japan paper show the couple pushing a stroller in a suburb of Manhattan. 'We found out she was pregnant around fall of last year, and from then on, we started planning the move at a rapid pace,' a friend of the Komuro family told Josei Seven. 'Kei searched for a property in the midst of his busy schedule, hoping to fulfill Mako's wish that they should raise their child in a detached house, and finally found their ideal home. This time, they decided not to rent, but to buy so that they could live together as a family for a long time.'

Lorde Scores The Second-Biggest Hit Of Her Career With New Single
Lorde's synth-pop comeback single "What Was That" debuts at No. 11 on the Official Singles chart, ... More becoming her second-highest U.K. hit after "Royals." NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Lorde attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Lorde began teasing that another chapter was about to begin this spring several weeks ago, and thankfully, she didn't make fans wait long before unveiling new music. The singer-songwriter recently dropped her latest single "What Was That," and there's a great deal of excitement surrounding the cut. The synth-pop tune earns a lofty debut on several rankings in the United Kingdom this week, where Lorde remains hugely popular — even though her last era wasn't met with the same enthusiasm as some of her previous ones. "What Was That" has become not just another hit, but one of the biggest of her career right out of the gate. "What Was That" narrowly misses becoming a top 10 smash on the Official Singles chart, debuting at No. 11 in its first frame on the U.K.'s ranking of the most popular tracks. Impressively, it is already Lorde's second-highest-charting hit ever. She has only reached the top 10 once before, with "Royals," her breakout smash that turned her into a global sensation more than a decade ago. That tune reached No. 1 on the tally. Follow-up tracks like "Tennis Court," "Team," "Green Light," and "Solar Power" — the lead single from her previous album — all peaked not far behind the top 10, though none managed to break into that uppermost region. Pure Purchases Lorde's Latest Single Pure purchases are largely to thank for the immediate success of "What Was That." The track only appears on the Official Singles Sales chart this frame – in addition to the all-encompassing list – as it didn't stream well enough to appear on the ranking dedicated solely to that form of consumption. Lorde's latest offering starts at No. 31 on the Official Singles Sales chart. Throughout her career, Lorde has sent nine different tunes to that roster. Once again, "What Was That" becomes her second-biggest win on the specific ranking. She only climbed higher in 2017 with "Green Light," which missed the top 10 by just two spaces during its 20-week run on the list. That track remains far and away her most successful in terms of pure purchases. Lorde Prepares Her New Album Virgin "What Was That" is the first single from Lorde's upcoming album, Virgin . The full-length, which will be her fourth, is expected to drop in late June. If the lead cut is any indication of what's to come, it appears that Lorde is shifting her sonic style slightly, returning to the artistically-driven synth-pop that made her a superstar in the first place. She abandoned that sound with Solar Power in 2021, which saw her embrace folk, indie, and psychedelic pop to mixed results.

The star-studded guests are not allowed to use their phones or post on social media once they've entered New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, to maintain the mystery of what happens inside the venue during the annual event. However, the rapper flouted that rule on Monday night by posting a montage of video clips from inside the museum. The video begins with Megan, fellow rapper Doechii and basketball player Angel Reese taste-testing hors d'oeuvres. The video then turns into a quick montage of all the guests the Savage rapper met throughout the evening.
