Grimes Feels 'Woefully Ill-Prepared' for Pregnancy & Reveals She 'Had Some Complications Early On'

Grimes is opening up about her pregnancy.

Weeks after sparking pregnancy speculations with a baby bump photo, the singer, 31, confirmed she is expecting in a candid post shared on Instagram Friday.

Asking her followers how they “cope with working and having a baby,” she wrote in the caption of a selfie, “I’m sorry I haven’t been promoting my album properly or on social media more. This whole thing has been a bit of an ordeal.”

“Had some complications early on, a decent second trimester but starting to hurt everywhere at 25 wksz,” she continued. “I feel like I was woefully ill prepared cuz I dunno if pregnancy is as visible or discussed as it should be. I just didn’t rly understand what I was getting into.”

However, the Canadian artist elaborated that things have “been good too, but it makes working a lot harder.”

“Good at writing and having lots of wild ideas tho, but anything physical is hard,” she explained. “Im also way more emo and less capable of bravery in the face of haters online and stuff haha.”

Though Grimes has not said anything about her baby’s father, fans believe Elon Musk — who she has been romantically linked to since 2019 — confirmed he is the dad when he cryptically commented under baby bump photos posted on Twitter, writing, “x is y.”

“Toss a coin to ur Witcher,” Grimes said in a reply to the 48-year-old Tesla founder, quoting the song from Netflix’s The Witcher series.

Grimes — who is expected to release her next studio album, Miss Anthropocene, next month — added on Friday that she “prob need to get back on” social media.

“Don’t mind my emo energy, but curious what other ppls experience was like,” she wrote, asking fans for their advice. “I didn’t even google it, I was just like sure y not hahaha smh.”

Earlier this month, Grimes opened up about being in a “war-like state of being” after sharing a topless photo of herself on Instagram with an apparent baby bump.

The picture, which has since been deleted and replaced with a more censored version, had an image of a baby superimposed on the musician’s stomach — sparking fan discussion on whether she’s pregnant with her first child or was posing for an artwork.

Addressing the speculation on Friday, the musician wrote “Fake or real? Haha. Wow I’m starting to feel bad haha…”

People had questions at the time as the heavily edited photograph was posted without an accompanying caption, though Grimes was vocal in the comment section.

When a fan remarked how “great” Grimes looked and applauded her for not censoring her nipples in the original image, the performer responded, “I thought about censoring them for a hot minute haha (this may get taken down anyway) but the photo is much less feral without the nipples.”

“Plus being knocked up is a very feral & war-like state of being. Might as well be what it is,” she continued at the time. “Plus most of my friends told me not to post them so then I was afflicted w reverse psychology. Interrogated my shame on it and decided it was sum weird internalized self hatred to feel uncomfortable abt my body. Hope ur having a nice day!”

Grimes shared a video on her Instagram Story of Musk dancing to music in a studio on Thursday night. The expectant mom captioned the clip with a white heart emoji.

Last March, Grimes got candid about her romance with Musk — whom she called a “super-interesting goddamn person” — and the public attention the relationship brought in an interview with WSJ. Magazine.

“I was simply unprepared,” she told the outlet for its April Style & Design Issue. “I’ve just been wallowing in indie music for, like, a decade … I just thought I could keep going along in my funny little way, and then you casually respond to someone in a tweet and it’s on Fox News, and you’re like, ‘Ugh,’ you know? That was a very disturbing moment.”

Despite the unwanted attention, Grimes said she still loved the tech mogul.

“And look, I love him… he’s great. There’s got to be some reason. I just think …” she told the outlet, trailing off. “I wish … Yeah. It doesn’t matter.”

Lisa Vanderpump's Dog Adoption Foundation Is Being Sued by a Former Employee for Sexual Harassment

A former employee of Lisa Vanderpump‘s dog adoption service is suing the foundation for sexual harassment.

In the complaint document obtained by PEOPLE and filed on Jan. 24, Damiana Guzman alleges that she was forced to resign from Vanderpump Dogs after only two months due to “intolerable workings conditions” at the hands of her manager, who is also named as a defendant.

Guzman says in the lawsuit that her former manager harassed her based on her “sex, gender and sexuality.”

She alleges her manager mocked her figure referring to her as a “skinny no-ass fool” and a “flat-ass bitch.”

Guzman also alleges in the lawsuit that her manager mocked her for her sexual orientation, saying he could “turn her straight and that she had not found the right man.”

“Not a day went by where the Defendant didn’t make a comment about the Plaintiff’s body, her sexual preference, or his sexual prowess,” the lawsuit states.

Guzman is seeking to be compensated for “damages” as she claims she has suffered “economic loss” and “loss of employment-related opportunities.”

Guzman says she has also suffered “humiliation, mental anguish, distress and has been harmed in mind and body.”

A rep for Vanderpump replied to PEOPLE with a statement from Dr. John Sessa of Vanderpump Dogs: “It’s a shame that someone who worked for the Foundation for less than 90 days would choose to sue or try to malign an organization whose sole purpose is dedicated to being a voice for the voiceless. Working to resolve unnecessary cases like this just takes away from being able to save more lives.”

The lawsuit comes after Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd were accused in a class action lawsuit of not paying their restaurant employees.

Former employee Adam Pierce Antoine filed the class action lawsuit on Dec. 16 on behalf of himself as well as a number of other former employees, accusing Vanderpump, 59, and her husband Ken Todd of violating a number of California labor laws — something Antoine claims has gone on for at least four years.

The complaint, obtained by PEOPLE, alleges that Vanderpump — who owns the famed West Hollywood, California restaurants SUR, Villa Blanca, Tom Tom, and Pump — has failed to “pay wages, including overtime wages.”

Antoine says that when restaurant staffers worked over 8 or 12 hours in a work day or more than 40 hours in a workweek they were not properly compensated.

The lawsuit also accuses Vanderpump of “manipulating or editing time records to show lesser hours than actually worked.”

Antoine also accuses Vanderpump of not paying minimum wages for hours that were worked off the clock, during training or when an employee was on call.

As a result of the alleged infractions, Antoine says he has “suffered damages in an amount subject to proof” and is owed over $25,000.

Why Gloria Estefan Says Her New Red Table Talk Series May Need a 'Traffic Cop'

Despite a hectic work schedule that would collapse most people, Gloria and Emilio Estefan took time out to be honorary chairpersons of the Official Miami Super Bowl Host Committee’s VIP party at Bal Harbour Shops in Miami Beach Thursday night.

“It’s a no brainer having the Super Bowl in the exciting city of Miami with our great weather and so many events held on the water,” Gloria, 62, tells PEOPLE during the exclusive Bal Harbour event that attracted more than 2,000 people and benefits The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis.

Adds Emilio: “Miami is a perfect place for the Super Bowl because we are a city of diversity, and we want the world to know!”

Gloria, looking beautiful in a custom black chiffon Marie Saint Pierre cocktail dress with black heels, tells PEOPLE she is very excited about her upcoming Red Table Talk for Facebook Watch series where she will be featured in Miami with her musician daughter Emily Estefan, 25, and her television host-model niece Lili Estefan, 52.

“We should be shooting by March, and all three of us are so excited because we get along very well,” Gloria says of the series called Red Table Talk: The Estefans.

“It’s three generations of women with our own points of view which may surprise people who think they know what we will say.”

The show is a spin-off of Red Table Talk, executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith and Westbrook Studios. In the first series, Smith, her daughter Willow Smith, and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, had candid and personal talks on important social and hot-ticket topical issues that created a great deal of buzz. The show was even nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award.

Now, the three generations of Estefans will take over and likely cause an oceanic splash. But before they shoot, Gloria is going to Los Angeles and “hang out with Jada” in hopes of learning more about the series.

“When we get back and start our show, the girls and I will talk about everything from motherhood to spirituality, social media and sexuality,” Gloria tells PEOPLE.

“My daughter Emily came out last year, so I think this is a good topic for families to hear because sex is a subject they don’t like to discuss.”

Gloria knows that talking about once taboo topics can be risky, but she is not worried about the repercussion because she knows her audience and they know her.

“My audience is well aware of who I am and how I think from the songs that I write,” says Gloria, who also has a Brazilian album debuting later this year, a movie with a big male star (still a secret) in the early stages, and an animated film in the works.

“I’m fine with people hearing our frank discussions about sexuality and a wide range of other topics. But we may need a traffic cop for three Cuban women talking at the same time!”

Owen Wilson Cast in Upcoming Loki Series on Disney+ Starring Tom Hiddleston

Owen Wilson is heading to the MCU!

The actor, 51, has reportedly been cast in the upcoming Loki series from Disney+ and Marvel Studios, Comicbook.com reported on Friday.

Details about what role Wilson will play have not yet been revealed.

Reps for Disney+ did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. A rep for Marvel Studios had no comment when reached by PEOPLE.

The series already stars Tom Hiddleston, who will reprise his role from the Thor and Avengers movies in the series. While details of the show remain under wraps, Variety reported that it will see Hiddleston’s mischievous character arriving at different moments throughout history to influence major events.

Sophia Di Martino was previously cast and will join Wilson and Hiddleston in an unknown role.

Marvel Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige said in a Bloomberg profile published in November 2019 that the Loki series will connect to the Doctor Strange sequel that is set to premiere in May 2021.

Earlier this week, Hiddleston, 38, shared a video on Instagram of himself getting into Loki shape as he practiced his superhero moves in a harness.

“Prep is going really well. #Loki,” Hiddleston captioned the clip, which showed him flying through the air before landing on a green cushion.

The post came about a month after the Night Manager star revealed on Instagram that “prep” on the series was officially underway.

“Team Loki. Prep has officially begun! See you in the New Year,” he wrote alongside a group shot.

Wilson, meanwhile, has been busy working on other projects recently.

In October, he was spotted filming alongside Jennifer Lopez in Coney Island, New York for their upcoming romantic comedy, Marry Me.

Wilson’s last appearance on the big screen was in 2017’s Father Figures and Wonder, and as the voice of Lightning McQueen in Cars 3. He also appeared in two episodes of Documentary Now! last year.

The Loki series is set to premiere in the spring of 2021.

Jordan Davis Never Expected to Be a 'Girl Dad' — but Now He Can't Imagine Life Any Other Way

From the moment he first found out he was going to be a dad, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot” singer Jordan Davis was sure he and wife Kristen were going to have a boy. In fact, Kristen’s due date inched closer, Davis spent much of his time dreaming of all of the places he and his son would go and things they would do.

He was ready for a boy. But then, he got a girl — and everything was different.

“The second you see her, you know your life has forever changed,” Davis, 31, tells PEOPLE regarding his 10-week-old daughter Eloise, who was born in Nashville on Nov. 17. “It’s just this crazy feeling that all dads know. She came out and I just completely lost it. I’m definitely a girl dad. I just love the hell out of her.”

“She slept 11 hours last night,” Davis adds proudly. “She’s been great. She really has been a good sleeper since day one.”

Too good to be true, right? Well, sort of.

“Let’s just say she is great at night,” Davis says with a laugh. “We have definitely had some tough days. We have this bouncy ball thing and if she wasn’t being bounced, she wasn’t happy. There is not a lot of napping during the day.”

Luckily, the new mom and dad had some time to get used to their new schedule before Davis — who snagged back-to-back No. 1 hits with “Singles You Up” and “Take It from Me” off his debut album Home State — headed off on his Trouble Town Tour, which ends in Baltimore on March 21.

“We certainly didn’t do it on purpose, but we certainly couldn’t have picked a better time to have a baby,” Davis says. “We had family come in over the holidays and I got to spend five straight weeks at home. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if I hadn’t had that time.”

And while the mere act of climbing up into that tour bus to travel to another tour stop will now come with a sense of melancholy for Davis, the Louisiana native admits that he has been itching to get back on the stage he loves.

“You get to missing playing music and being out on the road,” says Davis, who currently has stars-in-the-making Kassi Ashton and Hailey Whitters out on tour with him. “I mean, it’s our job. Even if it’s sad to leave, you have to step back and be thankful that this is what you get to do for a living.”

And while Davis is used to being a superstar on stage, he says the real star — when it comes to parenting — will always be wife Kristen.

“It’s almost like it happens overnight and it blows my mind,” says Davis of his wife, whom he married in 2017 and who is a practicing attorney. “All of a sudden, you look at your wife and she becomes this amazing mom right before your eyes.”

And while Davis says his wife plans to go back to work, he realizes that it only means he will have more time to spend with his little girl, who already loves playing her daddy’s beard.

“Since she has been born, the beard has been in the prime danger zone,” laughs Davis, who collaborated with Julia Michaels on “Cool Anymore.” “She’s always reaching up and grabbing it. I’ve lost a good amount of beard to that grabber. We have a couple of dogs and she will get scared when they bark and next thing you know, she will just grab a fist full of my beard.”

All in all, Davis knows well that he finds himself at this moment of pure bliss — one that comes when your personal life is just as amazing as your professional one.

“It really is the perfect storm,” he says. “I’m super blessed and thankful. We are really having the time of our lives.”

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott ‘Seem to Get Along Great’ as They Celebrate Stormi’s 2nd Birthday

In the months since their split, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are continuing to keep daughter Stormi — and her happiness — the main priority.

Following their breakup this past fall, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and rapper have continued to amicably co-parent their little girl.

“Kylie seems happy with the way things are. She still just loves being a mom and focusing on her business,” a source tells PEOPLE about the Kylie Cosmetics founder.

“She doesn’t seem upset that she is just co-parenting with Travis,” says the source.

In early October, Jenner, 22, publicly confirmed the news that she and Scott, 27, were no longer together, tweeting, “Travis and I are on great terms.” She also added that they were prioritizing their baby girl. “Our main focus right now is Stormi,” she wrote. “Our friendship and our daughter is priority.”

Staying true to their word, the former couple has continued to keep Stormi their main focus, including spending quality time together as a trio.

Just last week, the musician and reality star — who spent Thanksgiving together with their daughter — reunited as a family for a trip to Disney World in celebration of Stormi’s upcoming 2nd birthday.

Jenner posted moments from the outing, sharing a slideshow of photos on Instagram. And while she did not include any photos of Scott in the post, a fan captured the exes together in a video also shared to Instagram. In the clip, Scott is seen walking behind Jenner’s big sister Kourtney Kardashian, who was strolling hand-in-hand with her daughter Penelope, 7, and her 6-year-old niece North. Jenner followed quickly behind them.

“Travis came to Disney World. He and Kylie are co-parenting and seem to get along great,” says the source. “They are not together though.”

“The trip to Disney World kicked off Stormi’s birthday celebration a couple of weeks ago. And they have continued to celebrate,” shares the source.

But the celebrations for Stormi aren’t over yet!

On Saturday, Jenner has a “huge party” planned for Stormi, according to the source.

“Stormi is having a ‘proper’ birthday party on Saturday. It’s a huge party and will of course be insane. Kylie has been planning for months,” says the source. “She has been working with a planner, Mindy Weiss. She is super excited.”

In December, Jenner opened up about her plans for Stormi’s milestone birthday.

“Starting to plan Stormi’s 2nd bday .. it’s gonna be insane i can’t wait,” Jenner wrote on Twitter.

The proud mama celebrated Stormi’s first birthday in 2019 with an extravagant amusement park-themed party dubbed “StormiWorld” — a nod to Scott’s Astroworld.

Lawmaker Whose Wife Just Got Diagnosed with Cancer Announces He Will Miss Impeachment Trial

Rep. Jerry Nadler, one of Democratic lawmakers prosecuting President Donald Trump‘s impeachment trial in the Senate, announced Friday morning that he would miss the “conclusion” of that case because he needed to be with his wife, who is sick with pancreatic cancer.

Joyce Miller was diagnosed in December, and her husband had previously said he expected to miss part of the trial.

“I am sorry to not be able to stay in Washington for the conclusion of the Senate impeachment trial but I need to be home with my wife at this time,” Nadler, 72, tweeted on Friday. “We have many decisions to make as a family. I have every faith in my colleagues and hope the Senate will do what is right.”

After days of arguments and questioning, the Senate is expected to proceed to a final vote on Trump’s impeachment charges in the next hours or possibly days. An acquittal is likely, given the number of Republicans who would be needed to vote with Democrats — while conservatives have said they are reluctant to engage with what they called a “partisan” investigation.

I am sorry to not be able to stay in Washington for the conclusion of the Senate impeachment trial but I need to be home with my wife at this time. We have many decisions to make as a family. I have every faith in my colleagues and hope the Senate will do what is right.

— (((Rep. Nadler))) (@RepJerryNadler) January 31, 2020

Nadler announced on Sunday that his wife had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December, near the end of the impeachment investigation in the House of Representatives.

“She has undergone surgery and is taking further steps to address the spread of the cancer,” Nadler said then, adding tht he was planning to return home to New York to “meet with doctors, determine a path forward, and begin her treatment.”

Nadler is one of the seven Democrats from the House of Representatives who were chosen as impeachment managers, presenting the House’s case throughout the Senate trial in a role analogous to a prosecutor.

On Sunday, Nadler said he was sorry to “miss some of the Senate Impeachment Trial, which is of critical importance to our democracy.”

Others online were quick to support his decision.

“Family comes first,” Alyssa Milano responded on Friday. “Always.”

The process leading up to Trump’s historic impeachment and his ensuing trial in the Senate has played out since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an investigation in late September.

Nadler has been a leading voice for the Democrats’ push to impeach and remove the president from office for his role in the Ukraine scandal, in which Trump lobbied Ukraine into investigating political rival Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election.

“Our president holds the ultimate public trust,” Rep. Nadler, who was the the chair of the House Judiciary Committee that drafted the articles of impeachment against Trump, said in December. “When he betrays that trust and puts himself before country, he endangers the Constitution, he endangers our democracy and he endangers our national security. The framers of the Constitution prescribed a clear remedy for presidents who so violate their oath of office. That is the power of impeachment.”

From Her Creative Process to the Secret to a Perfect Burrito: What We Learned from Taylor Swift's Miss Americana

Taylor Swift‘s highly anticipated Netflix documentary Miss Americana is now available for streaming — and the pop star’s fans will find the film delivers.

The 30-year-old singer unveiled the movie at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 23 to praise from fans and critics alike.

From tackling her recent public political stance to shying away from showing off too much of her relationship with boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Swift provides her fans with a glimpse inside of her complicated life.

Here’s everything we’ve learned from Miss Americana.

1. Swift struggled with an eating disorder early in her career.

The pop singer opened up about feeling “triggered” by paparazzi photos of herself in an intimate moment in the film.

“I’ve learned over the years it’s not good for me to see pictures of myself every day because I have a tendency… I tend to get triggered by something whether it’s a picture where I feel like it looked like my tummy is too big or where someone said I looked pregnant,” Swift revealed.

She added, “That’ll just trigger me to starve a little bit, just stop eating.”

Now, Swift says, she’s managed to find a place where she feels happy with her body and doesn’t put too much thought on images of her that circulate around the Internet.

“I don’t care as much if someone points out that I’ve gained weight,” she said. “There’s always some standard of beauty that you’re not meeting. It’s all just f—ing impossible.”

2. Fans will see how the pop star creates her music and lyrics.

Swift gave director Lana Wilson unprecedented access to her music sessions while at the recording studio. The singer admitted she’d never had anyone with her in the studio that she wasn’t collaborating with during a Q&A after the premiere at Sundance.

“I didn’t want to know if it would stop me from feeling like I could come up with ideas and feeling like I could throw things out,” Swift said. “And there’s so much ridiculous-sounding ad-libbing that you do when you’re writing songs. So much of it sounds ridiculous until it sounds all right.”

She continued, “And a lot of that time, I would just always refuse to have any cameras in the studio whenever I write because I just feel like, what if I can’t do it. A then you’ve wasted a day and then I’ve wasted another creator’s time, I’ve wasted my producers time, I’ve wasted a co-writers time and I can’t write if somebody’s there.”

3. How she decided to go public with her political views.

In the documentary, Swift travels to her home state of Tennessee before the local elections to encourage people to register to vote and to also raise awareness as to how then-Senatorial candidate, Republican Marsha Blackburn, was anti-gay marriage, anti-gay rights and for rolling back protections for women when it came to domestic violence and stalking.

In a powerful scene, Swift and her mother, Andrea, attend a board meeting with members of her organization, including her father, Scott, to convince them to allow her to go public with her stance against Blackburn.

With her mother’s backing, Swift tearfully tells the all-male group, “I’m saying right now that I’m doing something that I know is right and I need to be on the right side of history.”

When Blackburn won the senatorial race, however, Swift was shocked and vowed to help increase voter turnout for the 2020 elections — as well as the release of a new political anthem, “Only the Young.”

4. On keeping her relationship with Joe Alwyn private.

While Alwyn was hardly seen in the film — except for a hug he gives Swift after one of her concert performances — the singer says he helped her in the aftermath of the scandal involving Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West.

“I had to deconstruct an entire belief system for my own personal sanity. I was also falling in love with someone who had a really wonderfully normal, balanced, grounded life,” she said.

“We decided together that we wanted our relationship to be private,” Swift added.

There are hints of Alwyn in the documentary, though. A montage of clips shot by the actor is shown, including Swift laughing as she tells him “I love you” while singing “Call It What You Want,” enjoying private dates in nature and the singer blowing out candles on a birthday cake.

“It was happiness without anyone else’s input. It was just … we were happy,” Swift said.

5. Why winning the trial against a former radio host who groped her didn’t feel like a victory.

In 2017, Swift countersued against former radio host David Mueller for $1 after he claimed in his lawsuit against her that she had gotten him fired.

Despite having the judge dismiss Mueller’s lawsuit, Swift said it was more of an ordeal than a win.

“I was so angry. I was angry that I had to be there,” she said. “I was angry that this happens to women. I was angry that people are paid to antagonize victims.”

Swift continued, “You don’t feel a sense of any victory when you win because the process is so dehumanizing.”

Following the trial, Swift shared a touching moment with her mother backstage at one of her concerts. Hugging her daughter, Andrea sobbed in Swift’s arms after her court win and explained how proud she was that she’d defended herself.

Swift hugged her mother back and comforted her, saying, “It’s OK, now.”

6. She didn’t discover burritos until her late 20s — and has a genius way of adding extra “crunch.”

During a recording session for her Lover album, Swift revealed she’d never eaten a burrito “until like two years ago.”

Enjoying a burrito during a lunch break, she showed a recording producer how she added extra “crunch” by adding a tortilla chip inside the burrito and taking a bite.

7. Revealing she felt “trained” to be good from an early age.

In the first few minutes of Miss Americana, home videos of Swift from her childhood are shown across the screen as it chronicles her early beginnings as a singer-songwriting all the way until she found success.

Swift explained she was “trained to be happy” since her childhood, adding the lesson wasn’t always a good one.

“My entire moral code as a kid and now is a need to be thought of as ‘good,'” she said. “It was all I wrote about, it was all I wanted, it was a complete and total belief system that I subscribed to as a kid.”

She continued, “And obviously, I’m not a perfect person by any stretch but overall the main thing that I always tried to do was just be a good girl. I became the person who everyone wanted me to be.”

8. Feeling she couldn’t “bounce back from” the Kimye scandal.

When West released his notorious 2016 song “Famous” with the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous,” Swift responded saying she had not been aware the rapper would call her a derogatory name.

In response, Kardashian West released an edited video of her husband on the phone with Swift, acknowledging the “sex” part of the song. West insisted that Swift approved the lyric, though a rep for Swift said, “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’ “

Swift recalled the aftermath of the scandal in the documentary, saying, “When people decided I was wicked and evil and conniving and not a good person, that was the one I couldn’t really bounce back from because my whole life was centered around it.”

9. On her mother’s cancer.

Swift was dealt with another blow when her mother, Andrea, was diagnosed with cancer.

“That has been really hard for me because she is my favorite person,” the pop star. “It woke me up from this life where I used to sweat all these things, but like, do you really care if the Internet doesn’t like you today if your mom’s sick from her chemo?”

In a sweet moment, Andrea explains after her diagnosis she did something she’s “always wanted to do”: adopt a huge dog which she calls her “cancer dog.”

Swift explained the pup was also Andrea’s “third child, like a human-sized dog.”

10. How the 2009 VMAs made her feel like she didn’t belong.

Reliving the experience of West taking the microphone from her during her 2009 VMA acceptance speech, Swift said the moment was a crucial part of her life.

“It was so echo-y in there. At the time, I didn’t know they were booing him doing that,” she said. “I thought they were booing me.”

“For someone who has built their whole belief system on getting people to clap for you, the whole crowd booing is a pretty formative experience.”

She added, “That was a sort of catalyst for a lot of psychological paths that I went on and not all of them were beneficial. It was all fueled by me not feeling like I belonged there. I’m only here because I work hard and I’m nice to people.”

Miss Americana is now streaming on Netflix.

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli List Multi-Million Dollar Mansion Amid College Admissions Scandal

Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannuli have listed their multi-million dollar mansion where they had been “laying low” amidst the college admissions scandal.

The couple, who could end up facing years in prison for their alleged involvement in the scandal, have listed their mansion for almost $28.7 million TMZ reported Thursday.

Sources reportedly told the outlet that the sale has “nothing” to do with the scandal, but that the couple is “following Mossimo’s passion for architecture.”

Loughlin and Giannuli used the property as collateral for their $2 million bail for the fraud charges, PEOPLE reported in March of last year.

U.S. District Judge Alexander MacKinnon reportedly told Giannuli in court at the time that the government could foreclose on the residence if the terms of his release were violated, the New York Daily News reported.

The 12,000 square-foot mansion includes six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, a large swimming pool, outdoor courtyard, two living rooms, formal dining room and an eat-in chef’s kitchen.

Loughlin and Giannuli tried to sell the home for $35 million in 2017, Variety reported at the time, after purchasing it in 2015 for $13.995 million.

Loughlin and Giannuli are accused of paying $500,000 to admissions consultant Rick Singer (and his nonprofit organization, Key Worldwide Foundation) to falsely designate daughters Olivia Jade Giannulli, 20, and Isabella Rose Giannulli, 21, as recruits to the University of Southern California crew team, even though neither of them ever participated in the sport.

It is also alleged that the family even took photos of Olivia and Isabella on rowing equipment to perpetuate the ruse.

In October 2019, the parents were charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery in addition to charges of money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud.

Both have pleaded not guilty on the counts against them.

A source close to the actress told PEOPLE last month that the Full House star did not realize she was doing anything illegal.

“Lori was hoodwinked by Rick Singer,” the source said. “There’s no other way to put it. She was convinced that she was making a donation, just like parents have been doing for years.”

“She did not have any intent to do something illegal, and in fact, she thought she was doing the right thing,” the source said. “That’s why she hasn’t pleaded guilty; frankly, she believes that she is innocent and that the evidence shown in court will prove that. Unfortunately, it seems as though the prosecution is hell-bent on making examples out of people, and not playing fair.”

Lakers Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis Honor Kobe Bryant with Mamba-Inspired Tattoos

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James appeared to debut a new tattoo in honor of the late Kobe Bryant, who died on Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash that claimed the lives of his 13-year-old daughter and seven more victims.

In a short video posted to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, James, 35, revealed he was in the process of getting a tattoo on his left thigh. Though James didn’t unveil the finished design, photographers caught a glimpse of his new body art during a team workout on Thursday morning.

Because the ink is covered by a clear bandage, it’s difficult to decipher exactly what artist Vanessa Aurelia tattoed on the three-time NBA champion. Photos appear to show a snake, in reference to Bryant’s “Black Mamba“ nickname, along with the words, “Mamba 4 Life.”

Meanwhile, Lakers star Anthony Davis also shared a video of himself receiving a similar tattoo from Aurelia, but he, too, hasn’t revealed what he received.

Aurelia did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

According to TMZ, James will debut the ink on social media this week, likely before the Lakers take on the Portland Trailblazers on Friday at Staples Center. The home game will be the first time the Lakers take to the court following the fatal crash.

Though James has yet to address the media in-person following role model Bryant’s death, he posted the first of two Instagram tributes to the 41-year-old on Monday night.

“I’m Not Ready but here I go. Man I sitting here trying to write something for this post but every time I try I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece Gigi and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had!” James said of Bryant, who won five championships in 20 seasons with the Lakers.

“It’s my responsibility to put this s— on my back and keep it going!!” he continued. “Please give me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me! I got US here! There’s so much more I want to say but just can’t right now because I can’t get through it! Until we meet again my brother!!“

The next day, James uploaded a video of him greeting Bryant and Gianna during a recent game at Staples Center. “My brother!! I love you man!!” he wrote.

The night before Bryant’s death, James and Bryant shared a special moment.

During the Jan. 25 game between the Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers, James, who wore special shoes during the performance that paid tribute to Bryant, passed the Lakers legend for third place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Later on, Bryant congratulated James on the milestone with a message on Instagram. “On to #2 @kingjames!” Bryant wrote. “Keep growing the game and charting the path for the next.”

If you would like to help the families of the other victims of the crash, consider donating to the Mamba on Three Fund. Donations to the Mamba Sports Foundation will help support youth sports.

Jeremy Piven Shares Photo From Kobe Bryant’s Unseen ‘Entourage’ Cameo: ‘He Was Mesmerizing’

No one could deny Kobe Bryant’s talent on the court — but who knew he was also pretty gifted on screen?

Jeremy Piven made that revelation in a heartbreaking Instagram post on Tuesday, telling fans that the late NBA icon actually filmed a never-before-seen cameo for an episode of Entourage that was left on the cutting room floor.

Days after the basketball legend, his teen daughter Gianna, and several others were killed in a horrific helicopter crash, the actor took to his social account to share a photo from a scene with Kobe and his character, Hollywood super-agent Ari Gold, that will probably never be seen by fans.

In the post, Piven explained what a natural talent Bryant was on camera. He wrote:

“I approached Kobe in character and asked why he’s doesn’t act and that I wanted to rep him… He told me while warming up (popping in 3 balls )that he doesn’t have that charisma to be in front of the camera like Denzel. And yet he was mesmerizing while telling me this and didn’t know we we’re filming. I’m telling u he crushed this scene that u will never see.”

Unfortunately, the actor couldn’t share the scene he was describing. When fans asked for him to post the unaired cameo, he responded:

“Wish I had it.”

Piven went on to reflect on the legacy the 41-year-old will leave behind, adding:

“He was fascinating and curious at the same time and that’s rare . His impact will continue to reveal itself and I’m still hurt and in total disbelief . Let his work ethic inspire u when u can’t make it and the love he had for his family continue to give us all perspective when we loose gratitude. I’m sorry I can’t stop thinking about this and posting.”

Piven previously posted about Kobe’s death earlier in the week, admitting that he couldn’t stop shedding tears after learning the devastating news.

He wrote:

“Can’t stop crying . Maybe because we know how hard he worked and now he could be with his family and explore that next chapter . We just see the glory and not all the hard work that lead to him making it look easy …. look at that smile, he was a kid who got to do what he loved . Halfway into his journey he’s taken away with 8 others . Make every moment count.”

Lakers GM Rob Pelinka Mourns Deaths of 'Best Friend' Kobe Bryant and 'Sweet Goddaughter' Gianna

Kobe Bryant‘s longtime agent and close confidant Rob Pelinka is devastated by the deaths of the NBA icon and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna.

On Thursday, Pelinka, who serves as Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, released an emotional statement about the Jan. 26 helicopter crash that killed Kobe, Gianna and seven more victims in Calabasas, California.

“I lost my best friend and my sweet goddaughter. With that, there has been an amputation of part of my soul,” began Pelinka, 50, who left Landmark Sports Agency to join the Lakers organization in 2017.

“Kobe was a force of nature, deep and obsessed with excellence. He was wise, determined, passionate. A visionary beyond measure. A dedicated and loving husband, and a ‘girl-dad’ like no other,” he continued. “When he walked into a room, the energy ignited. He was high voltage, with a motor that had no limits. His mind had an infinite capacity to learn. He was, simply put, the most inspirational athlete of our time. What the world may not know, is that he was also the best friend anyone could ever imagine.”

Pelinka, who is a father of two, also shared loving words for his goddaughter Gianna.

“Gigi was pure joy. Her smile brought comfort to any and every occasion. She was brilliant, kind and warm. And, like her dad, when she stepped onto the basketball court, she took on an entirely different nature, and boy could she play,” he wrote. “Her basketball destiny was apparent, and the world knew it. She was also an extraordinary, loyal and supportive sister, and a wonderful friend to my children. My son and daughter always left time with Gigi feeling better about life itself. Everything Gigi stood for, I am so proud of.”

Kobe and Gigi are survived by Vanessa Bryant, 37, as well as Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and 7-month-old Capri. The father-daughter pair were two of nine victims killed in the crash, along with John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, Christina Mauser and pilot Ara Zobayan.

Quoting late author Maya Angelou (“When great trees fall … lions hunker down in tall grasses”), Pelinka continued: “What I am daily learning is that after the tragic loss of these nine souls, life on this side of eternity will never be the same. For any of us who knew them, there is an irreplaceable void left behind. But I am also finding that there is a hope. For now, each new step for me will be full of deep love and prayers, as a heavy sorrow for Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri, and all the families involved, is slowly redeemed into something healed and new. I am coming to realize that nothing can separate any of us from the love and inspiration we’ve received from Kobe and Gianna, nothing at all.”

And Pelinka, who was present at the team’s practice on Wednesday, concluded his tribute with a hopeful message. “Their lives have shown me that death has no victory. Last Sunday is not the end of the story. It’s just a new beginning. Kobe and Gigi’s legacies will live on – and gain even more power and influence. All of us touched by them will now try to become torch carriers of their legacies,” he wrote, adding, “And, while we do that, we can be certain of this: Kobe and Gigi will continue on, forever, playing a joy-filled game of basketball in heaven above.”

Pelinka’s statement was released on the same day as Los Angeles Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss, who broke her silence on Instagram.

Buss — who took over as owner of the Lakers following the death of her father, Jerry Buss, in 2013 — reflected on Bryant’s importance to her family and to the franchise he called home for 20 years.

“Kobe, I don’t know how to express what you mean to me, my family and the Los Angeles Lakers. My father loved you like a son, which makes us family,” she wrote in the post, which included a picture of herself and the Bryant family on the way to the NBA All-Star Game in 2016.

Bryant and Buss knew each other for more than two decades. After Bryant was selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA Draft, he soon became a Laker as her father approved a trade for him that day. Buss has held multiple executive roles with the team throughout her career.

One day prior to Buss and Pelinka’s statements, widow Vanessa Bryant made her first public statements.

Speaking to fans and followers about the loss of her “adoring” husband and their “beautiful, sweet” daughter Gianna, the mother of four wrote, “We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately. There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now,” adding, “I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon.”

Vanessa continued: “I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever.”

In her statement, she also announced that the Mamba Sports Foundation set up the MambaOnThree Fund to “help support the other families affected by this tragedy.”

Fotis Dulos, Estranged Husband of Missing Conn. Mom, Dead 2 Days After Suicide Attempt

The estranged husband of missing Connecticut mom Jennifer Farber Dulos — who is charged with her murder – has died 2 days after attempting suicide, NBC News, the Hartford Courant, and WFSB report.

On January 30, Fotis Dulos, 52, of Farmington, was pronounced dead at the Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx where he was flown by helicopter Tuesday from the UConn Health in Farmington, where he was initially transported.

His lawyer, Norm Pattis, announced Dulos’ death Thursday evening. Pattis also said Dulos’ family flew in from Greece to try to harvest his organs.

In a statement to ABC, Pattis said, “Mr. Dulos was tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. Now he has been executed. We remain committed to demonstrating he did not murder Jennifer.”

Just before noon on Tuesday, officers found the father of five sitting in his running car inside the garage of his Farmington home with “obvious signs of medical distress,” Farmington Police Lt. Tim McKenzie said at a Tuesday press conference.

Documents on Thursday revealed Dulos had left behind a suicide note proclaiming his innocence in the murder of his wife, WFSB reports.

Officers performed CPR on Dulos, who was alone at the residence at the time, said McKenzie.

Dulos had apparently attached a hose to the tailpipe of his vehicle and sat inside with the doors closed while his new girlfriend had gone to the store, sources tell The Hartford Courant.

Officers were sent to his home for a well-being check when Dulos failed to appear for an emergency bond hearing in Stamford Tuesday.

The hearing was scheduled to determine whether the $6 million bond he posted after being arrested on Jan. 7 for the murder of his estranged wife would be revoked, sending him back to jail.

Earlier that morning, Dulos learned that that the company that had initially insured the bond had said the collateral he put up to cover the bond was problematic, The Courant reports.

But later that day, another bail bonds company said it could insure the bond, The Courant reports.

Dulos’ attorney, Norm Pattis, who spoke to him before the suicide attempt, said he was shocked.

“Obviously the potential for a bond revocation was devastating news to him, but throughout he has been a fighter and resolute, so this development comes as stunning news to me,” Pattis told NBC Connecticut.

Dulos was charged with the murder in the presumed death of his estranged, still-missing wife seven months after the Connecticut mother of five vanished from her New Canaan home after dropping her children off at school.

He pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, court records show.

At the time, she and Dulos were involved in a contentious divorce and custody battle. Police allege that on May 24, Dulos was “lying in wait” and attacked his estranged wife in her garage on the day she died, court documents show.

His girlfriend at the time, Michelle Troconis, and his civil lawyer, Kent Mawhinney, were charged with conspiracy to commit murder, according to Connecticut State Police. Mawhinney, who does not have an attorney, has pleaded not guilty. Troconis has not yet entered a plea to that charge, court records show.

Fotis and Troconis were charged earlier with evidence tampering in connection with Jennifer’s disappearance. Both pleaded not guilty to that charge as well.

After the murder charge was filed, Pattis told PEOPLE: “It’s obvious the state police really have no idea what became of Jennifer. This remains an open case in our view.”

Attorneys for Troconis and Dulos did not immediately return PEOPLE’s calls for comment.

Is Kaia Gerber Pregnant With Pete Davidson’s Baby?!?

Whoa, is Kaia Gerber trying to tell us something? Because this is about the last thing we expected if so.

The model posted an Instagram Story on Wednesday which seemed to tease some pretty big news… we think.

OK, rewind. Just over two weeks ago we heard Kaia and Pete Davidson had broken up after only about three months of dating. We also inferred from his latest Weekend Update update the SNL star was probably headed to rehab for a bit.

Photos: Celebrity Breakups Of 2020

This all fit with the fact Kaia’s parents, entrepreneur Rande Gerber and supermodel Cindy Crawford, were photographed having a very tense conversation outside their daughter’s NYC apartment, presumably after a father-boyfriend man-to-man with Pete. Rande was reportedly overheard describing the comedian as “freaking out” and having “scratched eyes,” whatever that means.

At the time we figured the parents were just being overprotective (or the right amount of protective?), rushing to the 18-year-old’s side during a bad breakup.

But what if there was a piece of information missing from the story? Something we couldn’t possibly have known? Something which caused all the tension and the “freaking out”?

OK, back to Wednesday’s post on IG Story. Because here’s what Kaia posted:

Kaia Gerber Instagram Story — (c) Kaia Gerber/Instagram Story

Um… WHUT?!?!?!?!?!

Is Kaia pregnant with Pete Davidson’s baby?!

OK, first off — far be it from us to look at a model’s bared tummy and judge changes in the general flatness… but she is literally inviting people to speculate. We mean, she captioned the pic:

“Read into this.”

That being said, girl may indeed be trying to tell us something. Compared to her usual size, that could be an early baby bump.

Though again, we have to caution, we would not be speculating if not for the other big piece of evidence here…

Kaia Gerber Instagram selfies — (c) Kaia Gerber/Instagram

We are of course talking about the freakin’ BABY BOOK she’s holding!

In case you couldn’t tell, that’s The One Minute Mother by Spencer Johnson, M.D. — a guide to raising children which advertises as teaching new moms “how to reach your own potential while helping your children to reach theirs.” From the Amazon Books description:

“With this book, written by a pioneer in helping people to gain better health through better communications, a mother can care for her children with confidence and ease, enriching and strengthening the mother-child bond each day.”

Yes, make no mistake. This is a parenting book.

There is a possibility that caption was sarcastically daring tabloids to “read into this” — mocking media coverage of her most recent relationship. But if so she frankly may have overdone it a bit. And we are letting ourselves get fooled.

Because if Kaia is pregnant, all the pieces suddenly seem to fit even better. The distraught parents, the “freaking out” boyfriend feeling the need to get cleaned up… Could this really be happening??

Let us know how YOU’RE reading this new evidence in the comments (below)!
