Drake is giving some major Instagram love to his son Adonis, in celebration of his fourth birthday.

Over the weekend, Drake, who shares Adonis with ex Sophie Brussaux, took to Instagram to share photos from his son’s race-car-themed birthday party.

“TEACHA,” Drake captioned one photo that showed him smiling as he crouched down and posed next to his son. “MORE LIFE KID.”

In another post, which appeared to be taken at a photo booth, Drake holds his son, who stretches out into a Superman pose. Drake simply captions the image with a runner emoji. 

The “One Dance” performer also posted footage on his Instagram Story of Adonis sharing some popcorn with someone in a Bugs Bunny costume from the film Space Jam: A New Legacy.

This isn’t the first time Drake showed his baby boy on Instagram. Last year, Drake shared a rare photo of Adonis, writing in part that he “love[s] and miss[es] [his] beautiful family and friends..”

Machine Gun Kelly has joined the pantheon of celebrities who were impersonated on Saturday Night Live.

This past weekend’s episode featured a sketch in which host Kim Kardashian West played her sister Kourtney as the judge in a court show called The People’s Kourt. In the middle of the skit, Kourtney introduces her “bailiff and best friends,” MGK and Megan Fox, played by SNL cast members Pete Davidson and Chloe Fineman.

“Wait, why are we best friends?” Fineman’s Fox asks. “Because our boyfriends have tattoos for necks,” Kim’s Kourtney replies.

Kourtney’s boyfriend, of course, is Blink-182‘s Travis Barker, who collaborated with Kelly on his 2020 album Tickets to My Downfall. Barker also shows up in the sketch, as played by Mikey Day.

In a tweet in reaction to the sketch, Kelly wrote, “I think it’s time for me to come on the show as Pete.”

While he waits for the call from SNL, Kelly has been working on his Tickets follow-up album, Born with Horns. In an interview with NBC’s Sunday Today, Kelly teased that Born with Horns, which will also be produced by Barker, is set to be “more guitar-heavy” than its predecessor.

“Every album is a juxtaposition of the last album,” Kelly explained. “So I went and studied Tickets, and I heard the bright sound that I had, and for this album I just turned the lights off.”

Kelly dropped the lead Born with Horns single, “Papercuts,” back in August. As for the rest of the record, Kelly hinted at a release date in the interview.

“I almost feel like the second you open your eyes and it’s 2022…you’ll have something to listen to,” he said.

Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean will try their hands at coaching on The Voice. 

The country superstars are both serving as advisors during the Battle Rounds, Dierks coaching Blake Shelton‘s team while Jason lends his talents to Kelly Clarkson‘s contestants. 

In a preview of the upcoming episodes, Blake and Dierks can’t get over each other’s hair upon reuniting. 

“What happened to your hair?” Blake exclaims. “It’s the longest I’ve ever seen it.”

“What happened to yours?” Dierks jokes, referring to the mullet Blake used to have at the start of his career. “Yours is as gray as I’ve ever seen it.” 

Between jabs, the “What Was I Thinkin'” singer meets the four contestants of Team Blake, in addition to coming up with a new team name, like that of celebrity couples. 

“Team D-lake. The two of us,” Dierks calls them.

“D-lake, I like it,” Blake approves with a smile.  

Meanwhile, Kelly and Jason reminisce on their hit duet, “Don’t You Wanna Stay” that earned them a Grammy nomination and led them to previously appearing on The Voice together.  

“It was a huge song that introduced me to a whole different fan base,” Jason remarks, citing it as “the biggest duet of my career,” while Kelly calls it “one of my favorite songs ever. …I feel very fortunate to have the career I’ve had and to be able to come and share that.” 

“I’m so excited to get a chance to go in there and offer any advice that I can that’s going to help them not only here at The Voice but down the road with whatever they do with their career,” Dierks reflects. 

The Voice Battle Rounds begin airing tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

Following their performance on SNL over the weekend, Halsey took to social media to address comments about their post-baby body.

The singer shared photos of what their body really looked like post-pregnancy — stretch marks and all — and acknowledged it’s still changing.

“I did SNL two nights ago and a lot of people were quick to say how good I looked,” they write. “That was a weird feeling. My body has felt like a stranger’s for a long time.”

Halsey, who welcomed baby Ender in July, admitted, “I have no interest in working out right now. I’m too tired and too busy playing with my darling son.”

“With that being said, the body behind all those compliments the other night was wearing a custom tailored outfit and lighted perfectly after much testing, so I could feel good and do my job,” they wrote. “I do not want to feed the Illusion that you’re meant to feel and look ‘great’ immediately postpartum. That is not my narrative currently.”

Halsey concluded by explaining that they’ll never have their “pre baby body back” and that’s OK, but they acknowledged that the journey is still “really hard” and they are “not a superhuman.”

“Doing my best to serve my art and my family whilst keeping it all so very real. Love,” they ended their message.

Pink may be American, but it appears that the U.K. can’t get enough of her and her music.

The British licensing company PPL has compiled data from British radio stations and TV channels, and has determined that Pink is the most-played female artist of the 21st Century in the U.K.  She’s scored 13 platinum awards in that country, and received a special Outstanding Contribution to Music trophy at the 2019 BRIT Awards, the U.K. equivalent of the Grammys.

According to Britian’s Official Charts Company, Pink has also scored three U.K. number-one singles and three number-one albums, with her best-selling song in that territory being 2013’s “Just Give Me a Reason.”

Madonna is second on the PPL’s most-played list, followed by Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Adele, Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, British girl group Little Mix, and Whitney Houston.  The rest of the top 20 includes acts like Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande.

Ozzy Osbourne has been dealing with a variety of health ailments over the past few years, but luckily, COVID-19 isn’t one of the them. In an interview with Metal Hammer, the Black Sabbath frontman hypothesizes that being the Prince of Darkness may have helped him in that regard.

“My wife had the virus; my daughter had the virus and I never got it,” Osbourne says. “Being a devil worshipper does have its good points!”

It’s unclear whether whether Ozzy meant his daughter Kelly or Aimee contracted COVID-19. His wife Sharon, of course, was briefly hospitalized with the virus late last year, and has since recovered. Two of Ozzy and Sharon’s granddaughters also tested positive.

In addition to his connection with Satan, Ozzy also got the COVID-19 vaccine earlier this year.

As for Osbourne’s other health issues, the 72-year-old tells Metal Hammer he’s “in for more surgery” for his neck, which he injured in 2019 after suffering a fall in his home. He also had a bad case of pneumonia in 2019, as well, and revealed in 2020 that he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

That hasn’t stopped him from making music, though — Ozzy’s next solo album, the follow-up to 2020’s Ordinary Man, is a “work in progress,” he says.
