1. Keyshia Cole accidentally reveals Ashanti is pregnant again
Keyshia Cole found herself at the center of a surprise baby rumor this week after seemingly confirming that fellow R&B star Ashanti is pregnant with her second child for rapper Nelly. During a guest appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” Cole enthusiastically praised Ashanti before unexpectedly saying, “She got a baby, she’s pregnant again…” The casual comment, said with full confidence, immediately sparked a frenzy online, with fans and media outlets questioning whether the news had been prematurely leaked. Co-host Loren LoRosa quickly pressed Cole on the statement, prompting confusion and speculation as Cole’s confidence appeared to waver in real time.
Despite Ashanti previously expressing interest in expanding her family, neither she nor Nelly has confirmed a second pregnancy. Following backlash and curiosity from fans, Cole addressed the situation on social media, offering a sincere apology. “I shouldn’t have said that. I thought she announced it. If that isn’t true then I apologize,” she wrote in the comments of a Hollywood Unlocked post. While the situation may have been a simple mix-up, many fans have taken it in stride, noting that Ashanti is likely enjoying her time away from the noise. As one commenter put it, “She’s somewhere on cloud 9 living her best life lol.”
2. Tems slams body shamers over uncouth comments
Okay 7 years in. It’s time to pack it up.
I never thought I’d need to say it but you are all weird. “It’s small, it’s flat, it’s fat.”

Afrobeats star Tems is speaking out against body shamers after facing a wave of online scrutiny over her appearance following a show-stopping performance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. A video of the Grammy-winning singer went viral, igniting debate across social media about the size and shape of her backside. Some users speculated that her figure had changed, with one comment claiming she had “big laps not actual ass,” prompting a flurry of unsolicited and intrusive commentary about her body.
In a fiery clapback posted to social media, Tems called the critics “weird” and told them to end the obsession with her body. “It’s small, it’s flat, it’s fat. Dog ITS MINE,” she wrote. “I never once hid my body, I just didn’t feel the need to prove or disprove anyone.” The singer made it clear that she has no intention of entertaining body discourse any further, emphasizing that her body is her own and subject to natural changes. Her bold response adds to a growing chorus of celebrities pushing back against body shaming in the digital era, demanding respect and privacy in the face of relentless scrutiny.

Meghan Markle is set to take center stage at the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County’s Night of Wonder gala on June 14, where she will be honored for her dedication to championing women and underserved communities. Reports revealed the Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming appearance at the garden-themed event, which will take place at NHM’s Exposition Park location. The gala aims to celebrate the museum’s mission to broaden access to science and nature throughout L.A., a vision that closely aligns with Meghan’s philanthropic efforts. Organizers say Meghan will deliver remarks during the evening, which is expected to draw guests from across L.A.’s cultural and charitable circles.
Lori Bettison-Varga, President and Director of NHM, praised Meghan as a “native Angeleno” whose advocacy aligns with the museum’s equity-driven educational initiatives, such as STEM and STEAM Pathways. Since relocating to California in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry have steadily increased their public presence in Los Angeles while raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet. This year alone, Meghan has launched a successful lifestyle brand, debuted a Netflix series, and returned to social media—all while continuing her work in community outreach. The upcoming gala appearance marks another step in the Duchess’s evolving role as a prominent figure in Los Angeles’s cultural and philanthropic landscape.

Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi has been named Major League Soccer’s Player of the Matchday for Matchday 17 following his standout performance in the club’s 5-1 win over Columbus Crew. The 37-year-old Argentine scored twice and provided a quick-thinking assist to Tadeo Allende, showcasing the world-class vision and finishing that have defined his legendary career. With his brace, Messi also became Inter Miami’s all-time leading MLS goal scorer. This marks his second consecutive Player of the Matchday honor and his eighth overall since joining the league, solidifying his place among MLS’s most decorated stars.
Messi is the first player to win back-to-back weekly awards in the 2025 season, and only the second two-time winner this year, alongside Tai Baribo. Since arriving in MLS in 2023, the Argentine icon has had a transformative impact, raising the global profile of both Inter Miami and the league itself. He now joins Carlos Vela and Josef Martínez as the only players to claim six Player of the Matchday honors in their first full MLS season. As Messi prepares to join Argentina for World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia in early June, Inter Miami looks ahead to their Club World Cup debut against Al Ahly on June 14.
