Meghan Trainer has been very open about the difficult delivery she had with son, Riley, and in a new interview, she shares that when he was in the NICU, nurses suggested she was to blame for him being there. She told Romper, "They kept asking me if I was on antidepressants during the pregnancy, and I was, but on the lowest dose possible." Riley, now one, was in the NICU for a mysterious condition where he wouldn't wake up to feed. Meghan explained, "They had no name for what was wrong. He just wouldn't wake up." She added that Riley wasn't much of a crier, saying, "We kept being like, 'Uh-oh, what's up with him? Is this what serial killers are like when they're first born? They never cry?'"
Alan Rickman was known for a wide array of roles, but none more iconic than that of Severus Snape in the "Harry Potter" franchise. However, entries from his diary indicated he wanted out of the role as early as the second film, according to NY Post.

He eventually gave up, saying, "The argument that wins is the one that says: 'See it through. It's your story.'" Alan would play Snape for the entire eight-movie run, knowing that the way his character's story wrapped up "gave me a cliff edge to hang on to."

Charlize Theron doesn't think she'll ever be as famous as Kim Kardashian. She told Harper's Bazaar, "I feel like I'm at a place where it is what it is. Working more isn't, I think, going to change my level of fame. It just has always been a mediocre ride. I've never been one of those people that's at a Kim Kardashian level." I don't know if she understands just how truly a good thing that is.
