Rihanna recently welcomed a baby boy with partner A$AP Rockyand has since opened up about how it’s changed her relationship with her body.
Speaking with InStyle, the singer was asked to reveal what body part she enjoys showing off the most — and if her answer this year differs from what she said in the past.
“Oh yeah, girl, it changed. I guarantee you it changed. I had a baby! Let’s be real,” Rihanna joked. “Now it’s my booty — because I got one.”
The publication noted they asked Rihanna the same question a decade ago and, as it turns out, she gave the exact same answer.
The singer was also asked if she had anything to tease about her upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. Although she remained coy, she may have provided some clues.
She revealed designer Adam Selman might be taking charge of the looks she’ll sport that night. “He just might, he just might! We actually haven’t gotten there yet, but Adam has been designing my performance looks forever,” she teased.
Selman serves as the new executive design director of Savage x Fenty and is assisting in the upcoming Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 show.
As for what fans can expect with the new offering, said Rihanna, “Oh, this show is obnoxious … This one takes the cake. THIS is going to be the show to beat.”
The show will stream November 9 exclusively on Prime Video.
Craig Morgan will appear on The Kelly ClarksonShow on November 11 — Veterans Day — to discuss his new memoir and share stories from his military service.
Speaking of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly took on Cody Johnson’s megahit “‘Til You Can’t” in the latest installment of the Kellyoke segment on her talk show.
David Nail shares his mental health journey in the latest installment of The Check-In, a video series from ACM Lifting Lives.
Former Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Redd flashed back to the time Kanye West came to the show and ranted in support of former President Donald Trump.
For context, West was a guest on the show’s season 44 premiere in 2018 and performed his song “Ghost Town.” When cameras stopped rolling, he started addressing the crowd.
“The Blacks want always Democrats … you know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare … does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan,” Kanye, who was wearing a MAGA hat, said. “There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.”
Redd apparently knew Ye was preparing the rant. Speaking to Daily Beast, he said he overheard the rapper rehearsing backstage.
“He came in there wanting to shoot everybody — verbally — and I just felt that was disrespectful, because we’re all grown adults,” says Redd. He says that at the time his thought was, “I’m not going to entertain this.”
Four years after that memorable SNL appearance, Redd says of West, “Now all of us don’t like [him].”
In other Kanye news, the rapper’s being sued for his unauthorized use of the sample for Boogie Down Production’s “South Bronx.” As Rolling Stone reports, Phase One Network, the asset management company overseeing Boogie Down’s catalog, accuses Ye of copyright infringement, alleging he sought licensing permissions to use the sample on Donda‘s “Life of the Party” and later retracted his request. The song dropped on Stem Player, leading the production company to believe Ye and the app “have direct financial interest” in the unauthorized record.
(NEW YORK) — Tropical Storm Nicole is forecast to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane Wednesday as it approaches Florida’s east coast.
The storm is expected to make landfall overnight Wednesday into Thursday between Fort Pierce and Melbourne.
Parts of Palm Beach County and Volusia County are under evacuation orders and Orlando International Airport announced it will stop operations at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
At least five Florida school districts, including Palm Beach County, are closing schools on Wednesday and Thursday due to the storm.
Nicole could also impact election week in the Sunshine State, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is running against Democratic rival Charlie Crist and Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., is trying to unseat Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 34 of Florida’s 67 counties.
Meanwhile, Florida Power & Light has urged customers to prepare for power outages and activated its emergency response plan ahead of Nicole’s potential impact on the state this week.
“[Hurricane] Ian saturated soil and weakened trees in many parts of the state, so Nicole could cause trees to topple over and other vegetation and debris to blow into overhead power lines and equipment, which may cause outages,” Florida Power & Light chairman and CEO Eric Silagy said in a statement Monday.
Nicole formed in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean on Monday, becoming the 14th named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which ends this month. The storm’s center is expected to move near or over the Bahamas before heading to Florida, according to the National Weather Service.
When Nicole touches down in eastern Florida, cities may see flash flooding, with more than 6 inches of rainfall possible from West Palm Beach to Cape Canaveral.
NASA said it does not plan to move the Artemis 1 rocket off the launch pad in Cape Canaveral as a precaution. The unmanned rocket, which will travel to orbit the moon, is scheduled for launch Nov. 14. The launch has already been delayed several times, including by Hurricane Ian.
The highest storm surge is expected from West Palm Beach to southern Georgia, where water could rise up to 6 feet.
A storm surge is also possible on Florida’s west coast, where Tampa could see water rise up to 3 feet.
Nicole will weaken as it moves north through Florida on Thursday, but heavy rain will continue to be a threat.
Nicole will then drop heavy rain in the Carolinas, mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Rainfall of 3 to 4 inches is possible from Raleigh, North Carolina, to New York to Boston on Friday into Saturday morning.

The Doctor Strange sequel had an Audience Score of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes; Love and Thunder came in at 77%. Time will tell how audiences react to the Black Panther sequel, but if early online feedback from screening audiences is any indication, it should easily best the previous films’ Audience Score.

When it comes to their CMA Awards prep styles, Jason Aldean says he and his wife, Brittany, are very different.
“Brit always does [get dressed up], for sure. I don’t really feel like I get dressed up that much. It’s more just, like, shining up what I would normally wear onstage a little bit,” he tells ABC Audio ahead of Wednesday night’s CMAs.
In that regard, the couple’s 3-year-old daughter, Navy, just might be starting to take after her mom. Jason says that Navy and her 4-year-old brother, Memphis, are still a little too young to care about awards shows and other big televised industry events. But they’re not too far away from figuring out that what their dad does for a living is pretty different from a regular job.
“I’m sure it’s coming at some point. Especially my youngest daughter, Navy. She seems like a little bit of a diva,” Jason relates. “So she’ll be the one wanting to come to these things, getting dressed up in her own dress and all that stuff, here in the near future. I can kind of see that happening.”
But no matter what they’re wearing to the ceremony, the Aldeans all have one big goal in mind: celebrating the end of the year with a big party, along with Jason’s fellow country superstars.
“This really is the last thing of the year for most of us. I mean, it’s kind of the conclusion of the year, the CMA Awards,” he notes. “So it’s time to cut loose after the show’s over.” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
Before he married Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas dated model Olivia Culpo. The two parted ways in 2015 after two years of dating — and Olivia is finally letting fans know what it was like.
Peopleobtained clips of TLC’s The Culpo Sisters, which include Olivia begrudgingly speaking about her past romance.
“Do I have to talk about that?” she asked. She was seemingly egged on by producers and continued, “I did date Nick and that was a very formative experience for me.”
Olivia, who was crowned Miss Universe in 2012 — America’s first winner since 1997 — opened up about the effect that relationship had on her. “I moved to LA with him. I had no brand, no money and I was in love,” she reminisced. “That was great, right, but when he broke up with me, I was kind of left with no sense of identity.”
Olivia said her “whole identity was in him” and confessed her experience is “a very common story of a young person in love.”
“I thought we were going to get married,” she added. “I thought all the things, and I just remember night after night looking up at my ceiling in my apartment that I couldn’t afford thinking to myself, ‘How am I going to pay my rent?’ I couldn’t even afford my groceries.”
Olivia said of the breakup, “It was a serious, pivotal moment for me, but it was something that taught me that you can’t give up.”
She has since found love with Christian McCaffrey, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers.
Miley Cyrus is heading back to Malibu after snatching up an $8 million mansion.
Dirt got the scoop on the purchase and found Miley’s new digs offer six bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms and nearly 5,570 square feet of living space. The $7.9 million sale comes shortly after the singer sold off her Nashville mansion for a cool $15 million.

She also picked up some new neighbors — Avril Lavigne and Lady Gaga.
Back in the ’80s, Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen pulled off one of the more impressive second acts in music: After losing his left arm in a car accident, he taught himself how to drum with one arm and his feet — and Def Leppard went on to release the best-selling album of their career, Hysteria. But looking back now, Allen admits he was at a very low point following the accident.
“I really didn’t want to be here and I felt very defeated,” Allen tells Page Six, adding that he felt “very awkward” and “self-conscious.” Allen, who was just 21 when he nearly died in the accident, said the people around him helped him realize he still had something to live for.
Allen said he received “a lot of encouragement” from “my peers, a lot of fans, my family,” adding, “They all tried to help lift me up and then finally I got it. I got to a point where I realized I can do this.” He adds, “It wasn’t until after the fact that I discovered the power of the human spirit and that’s what really propelled me to where I am now.”
Allen is currently touring with his wife, Lauren Monroe; Wednesday night they’ll perform in New York City. He’s also organized an online event for Friday, which is Veterans Day, called 12 Drummers Drumming: Finding the Rhythm to Heal. It’s a benefit for their Raven Drum Foundation, which helps veterans with trauma recovery via alternative medical programs, including drummer circles. You can watch at 12drummersdrumming.org.
Among the drummers participating are Stewart Copeland of The Police, Rage Against the Machine‘s Brad Wilk, Mötley Crüe‘s Tommy Lee,Original KISS drummer Peter Criss, Matt Sorum and Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live.
