Rihanna's surprise pregnancy reveal shakes up the Met Gala 2025: How many kids does the icon have?
One thing about ? She knows how to arrive 'Fashionably Late'! Another thing about Rihanna? She knows how to shut down the Met Gala! One more thing about Rihanna? 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

Stick around until the end, too. Kendrick teams up with SZA for the evocative, sensitive duet 'gloria.'

'SZA's long, ambitious, luxurious new album solidifies her position as a generational talent,' raves Pitchfork. They summed up that sentiment calling her 'otherworldly, but you just might know someone a little like her, too.' If you want to brush up on the record before seeing her live, you can stream 'SOS' here.

Bill Maher calls Trump one of the 'most effective politicians' because of his authenticity
Comedian Bill Maher praised President Donald Trump for his unique appeal to voters in an episode of his podcast, arguing he has something other politicians of both parties lack. Maher has been a frequent critic of Trump over the years, but he has also broken with the left on issues like so-called "woke" identity-politics and the draconian aspects of COVID-19 policy across the country. Maher recently met with the president at the White House in a meeting brokered by musician Kid Rock. Kid Rock said Trump took the group, including Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White, on a tour and chatted about their commonalities like "ending wokeness" and "securing the border." On Sunday, Maher's "Club Random" podcast released an episode where he spoke with news host Chris Cuomo and praised Trump for his unique ability to appeal to Americans in a way most politicians cannot. The episode was taped before Maher's White House visit. "Trump really is one of the most effective politicians, whether whatever you think of the policy and him as a person, just as a politician, just understanding that - always lean in to being more who you are - the people are not savvy about issues, but they smell a phony a mile away. And that kind of s---? Nobody else does it," Maher said. Kid Rock Leaves Bill Maher Stunned After Dei Hot Take On Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show Maher noted that while he has been one of Trump's biggest critics, there are nonetheless times when he thinks, "Oh man, I got to give it up," and praises him. Read On The Fox News App One example Maher summarized was when "He did that thing when the guy came in from the Taliban, and he said, 'This is an aerial picture of your house, if during our withdrawal one American is hurt, just know I know where you live.' I was like 'Oh, can we just play the music now?' Because I don't care 'it's Donald Trump, and he's the worst person ever,' blah blah blah, I f---ing love that." Maher cited another anecdote during the 2016 GOP primary where Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, mocked Trump for having "New York values" and Trump responded, "When you want to knock New York, you've got to go through me." "It's like 'Oh, Hometown boy,'" Maher said, praising him for defending his origins. "You know, he has those moments that no other politician has, and the Democrats have to find that guy." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Maher argued that a key issue for the Democratic Party is that they lack an "alpha" leader. "Democrats have to come up with an alpha, and it's not Tim Walz," Maher said, comparing the 2024 vice-presidential hopeful to stereotypical goofy dads in commercials. Maher argued, "You've got to appeal to people at a sort of post-civilization stage, where we're kind of at, on a primal level, you just do, and Trump does it better than anybody."Original article source: Bill Maher calls Trump one of the 'most effective politicians' because of his authenticity
