Rihanna is on the cover of Vogue in a pretty, lacy red full-body lingerie getup, but don't call it maternity. She is refusing to wear maternity clothes. Ri said, "When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, 'There's no way I'm going to go shopping in no maternity aisle.' I'm sorry — it's too much fun to get dressed up. I'm not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing. My body is doing incredible things right now and I'm not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?" As far as if this pregnancy was planned, Rihanna said, "Planning? I wouldn't say planning. But certainly not planning against it. I don't know when I ovulate or any of that type of s***. Thankfully, she hasn't had a lot of morning sickness or mood swings, although she admits that a simple Instagram post can trigger tears. As far as a baby shower goes, she said, "I want a party. I want everyone to be plastered and crawling out. And it's got to be co-ed! Don't put me on no wicker chair somewhere with gifts at my feet where everyone is staring at me." Also, don't expect a gender-reveal party. Rihanna said, "When we're ready to tell the world, we'll just tell them."

Jennifer Lopez shared the intimate details of Ben Affleck's proposal in her "On the JLo" newsletter. She wrote, "Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed." She said she "just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again. I was quite literally speechless and he said, 'Is that a yes?' I said 'YES of course that's a YES.'" J.Lo said that it being a simple proposal made it all the more romantic, adding, "I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could've ever imagined. Just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other. Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love." JLo also gave details on her engagement ring. She explained, "He hands me a ring and he says it's a green diamond. [Green is] my favorite color, it's also my lucky color. Obviously it'll be my lucky color forever now. It means so much when somebody thinks about you and loves you and sees you. And it was just the most perfect moment."
As we told you, Britney Spears announced she was pregnant on Instagram and she received a lot of congratulations from her celebrity friends and even her ex-husband and baby daddy Kevin Federline. Kevin's attorney told NBC News, "He wishes her the best for a happy, healthy pregnancy and congratulates her and Sam Asghari as they plan for the excitement of parenthood together." Surprisingly, her sister Jamie Lynn Spears actually "liked" Britney's pregnancy announcement. One person who doesn't want to talk about Brit's pregnancy is Justin Timberlake. Video circulating online shows a paparazzo trying to ask him about it, and he quickly shuts him down, saying "Stop, go away." In the meantime, Britney showed off her "small belly" in a new video on Instagram, whrere she was modeling some clothes "before I really start showing 🤰🏼." She explained, "I actually do have a small belly here but at least my pants 👖 fit 😬😬😬😬😬😬 … Well barely 😅🤷🏼♀️ !!!"

Bella added, "I knew I should've deleted the twerking video." When fans visited Charli's TikTok account, they got pretty much the same message. It's not clear how this happened yet, but Dexerto reports that it's more than likely a widespread hack. TikTok has yet to comment on the situation.

With Johnny Depp suing Amber Heard, and her countersuing him over these past few years, you would think we'd have heard it all already. But now, new details and allegations are coming to light. Amber Heard claims Johnny Depp sexually abused her with an alcohol bottle during a three-day "hostage situation" in 2015. Her lawyer shared very graphic details in the courtroom. Johnny's team has fired back saying, "These fictitious claims were never made at the onset of Amber's allegations in 2016, and only advantageously surfaced years later once she was sued for defamation after noting in her op-ed that she was a victim of 'sexual violence.'" They added, "This follows a pattern of her elaborate, erroneous claims which have continued to change and evolve over time for the purpose of Hollywood shock value of which Amber has mastered and used to exploit a serious social movement." His lawyer said Amber is the one who "would resort to physical violence," adding, "She would resort to physical violence, throwing things at him, hitting him, she would tell him he was a coward, he wasn't man enough because he wouldn't stay and fight with her."

Jennifer Garner is reportedly happy for Ben Affleck in light of his recent engagement, according to Hollywood Life. An insider said she "acted completely favorable to it and even congratulated them," adding that she and the three kids they share already knew he was going to propose. The source added, "Jennifer [Garner] and Ben have been broken up for a very long time and there is no reason whatsoever that she would be upset about this. She is happy if he is sober and he is doing well, both of which he is and both of which are of utmost importance to JLo." As for what Jen thinks of JLo, the source said they "have respect for each other as mothers and as individuals," adding, "[Lopez] and [Garner] are on speaking terms and have had numerous talks. They know that they are going to be a part of each other's families for life through this marriage." Word has it Jen Garner will be invited to the wedding because "she is a part of Ben's family and there is no reason why she wouldn't be invited. Whether or not she will go is up to her."
Before you rush off to Hollywood to try to turn your kid into a child star, it's not as lucrative a career as you might think. Josh Peck, who got famous from "The Amanda Show" and "Drake and Josh" said he earned around $15,000 for each episode of "Drake and Josh" when the show aired from 2004-2007. With 60 episodes over three years, after taxes, and then paying managers their cut, Josh said, "You live with about $450,000 over five years, which breaks down to a little less than $100,000 a year — certainly a great amount of money, but not enough to set you up for life. And a lot of it we lived on. My mom and I had a used BMW five series. We lived in a two-bedroom apartment. We lived a very middle-class life." And while a lot of TV stars get residuals from reruns, he said that's not how it usually works for kids' shows, according to OK.
