Anne Hathaway is pregnant with her third child.

On Friday, the Oscar-winning actor posted an Instagram video in which she grins as she reveals a baby bump and hurries off camera. The 43-year-old Hathaway captioned the video “Baby, I’m yours” and for the soundtrack used the Barbara Lewis hit of the same name.

When asked for confirmation, a Hathaway spokesman responded, “I think the video is pretty obvious.”

When Illumination founder and chief executive Chris Meledandri earlier this month received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he wondered how many visitors it will have.

“In years to come, as people walk down Hollywood Boulevard, they’ll come across my star,” he said to the assembled crowd. “And unless they’re related to me, they’ll ask: ‘Who the hell was that guy?’”

Yet at a time of perpetual upheaval in Hollywood, the unflashy Meledandri has created and shaped one of Hollywood’s most consistent blockbuster-making operations. Family-friendly movies are fueling the box office like never before, and Illumination is at the forefront of it.

Simon Cowell’s fiancée, Lauren Cowell, is opening up about becoming pregnant with their son while she was still married to her now ex-husband and the intense media attention that followed.

Lauren Cowell, who has been engaged to Simon Cowell for five years, legally changed her last name to his in 2024, a decade after the birth of their son, Eric.

Speaking on the “Happy Mum” podcast, she recalled discovering she was pregnant in 2013 while still married to entrepreneur Andrew Silverman, who was then a friend of Simon Cowell. At the time, she was also raising her now-adult son, Adam.

Comedian Carlos Mencia was charged with tax evasion Thursday after he was accused of failing to pay personal and business taxes for six years, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.

District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced the 12 charges against Mencia, who allegedly did not report personal and business income between 2019 and 2024, amounting to about $8.7 million.

“That translates into over $300,000 of state tax. And that, by the way, we’re not even dealing with whatever federal tax obligations he may have also not complied with,” Hochman said.
