There's been a lot of talk about Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter's name, Lilibet, but it's not the first Royal name that's caused drama. When Princess Beatrice was born, her parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, originally wanted to name her Annabel. However, according to The Mirror, the Queen felt it was "too yuppie." Supposedly, that's why it took Andrew and Sarah two weeks to announce Beatrice's name.
Fans suspected that singer Halsey may have had her baby when a couple of weeks ago she posted her new album cover featuring a photo of her and an infant, but that was not the case. She did, however, confirm yesterday in an Instagram Post that she gave birth last Wednesday to a baby named Ender Ridley Aydin, posting two pictures of the baby. Her boyfriend, Alev Aydin, is originally from Turkey, and Ender is a Turkish word for "rare" or "very rare" in English, according to dlisted.com.
Madeleine Mantock is saying goodbye to "Charmed." The actress, who plays one of the three sister witches, Macy, on the CW's reboot, has announced her "difficult decision" to exit the series after three seasons. So far, no word on why she's leaving. Interestingly, Madeleine plays the telekinetic older witch sister on the show, just like Shannen Doherty played the on the original "Charmed." She too left after season 3 when her character, Prue, was killed off in the finale amid rumors of tension on set with co-star Alyssa Milano.
Rose McGowan was then cast as a new half-sister Paige as a replacement in later seasons. The role of Macy was already that of a half-sister still be interesting to see how they rework the power of three.
Rick Ross and Big Sean are just a couple of the homes that will be featured on the new and improved "MTV Cribs." The last time we saw it was 21 years ago. The show is picking up right where it left off with 30-minute episodes that reveal the lifestyles and rituals of lavish celebrity homes. "MTV Cribs" will be on Paramount Plus on August 11th. So basically, just one more show that will rub in my face that I'm not living in the lap of luxury or anywhere close to it.

Britney Spears' boyfriend, Sam Asghari, was involved in a minor car crash outside Britney's home on Monday. He shared a video where he actually admitted that it was his fault. He said he has only had the car for couple of weeks, and also shared that the driver of the other car was not hurt. You can see the video at TMZ.com. Interestingly, he shares a piece of superstition; he puts an egg behind one of the rear wheels and says rolling over it backwards prevents bad luck. No word on if he had done this with his new car before the accident or if he used a raw egg or hard boiled. So many questions…

Blake Lively has a message for the paparazzi. After Daily Mail Australia posted pics of Blake and her kids on Instagram, she called it "deceitful" to edit together paparazzi snaps to show her smiling and waving like everything is fine. That's not the whole "frightening" story, according to Blake, who says a paparazzo was stalking her children "all day" and hiding in bushes to "jump out" and get his photos. She wrote a long message on Instagram slamming the behavior, ending with, "Please stop paying grown ass men to hide and hunt children.

On Sunday, Britney Spears was spotted getting coffee from Starbucks and showing off what appeared to be a ring with a huge diamond on it. If Britney decides to get married one more time, it would be her third marriage. Speaking of "one more time," Britney was just 16 years old when she made her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on November 21, 1998 with "... Baby One More Time," but the song almost wasn't a Britney Spears number at all. In fact, the songwriter Max Martin first offered the song to TLC, who rejected it. Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins told MTV News a while back, "I was like, I like the song but do I think it's a hit? Do I think it's TLC? I'm not saying, 'Hit me baby.' No disrespect to Britney. It's good for her. But was I going to say, 'Hit me baby one more time'? Hell no!"
NATO, the National Association of Theatre Owners, is calling out Marvel and Disney for releasing "Black Widow" on Disney+ the same day the movie was released in theaters. By the second weekend, ticket sales plummeted by 67%. NATO claims that not only caused them to lose theater goers right off the bat but also future revenue because of piracy, noting "'Black Widow' was the most torrented movie for the week ending July 12″ because "pristine digital copies became available within minutes of release on Disney+." No word from Disney on the situation but I can't imagine they had anything to say since the situation isn't hurting them at all.
