Pete Davidson gets new perspective
The 31-year-old comedian and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt revealed earlier this month they are expecting their first child together and since he discovered the 29-year-old beauty was pregnant, the former Saturday Night Live star has experienced a "weird sense of calmness" and is no longer looking to his career for fulfilment.
He told People magazine: 'I'm just excited to take care of the little one. The second I found out the news, I was like, 'Oh wow, what I do is just a job.'
"I realised I was kind of basing my happiness on work, which is ridiculously unhealthy. So it gave me this weird sense of calmness, where this is just a job and now I have someone to do it for.'
The King of Staten Island star is looking forward to his child enjoying playdates with four-month-old Saga, the daughter of his friend Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.
He said: 'We're going to have awesome play dates. Yeah, that's [going to be] a cool play date.'
Pete thinks MGK - who also has 16-year-old Casie with former girlfriend Emma Cannon - is a great parent and has been looking to him for inspiration.
He said of his pal: 'He's the best dad ever. He flies back and forth to Cleveland twice a week just to see his daughter play volleyball. And he's just always with his kids, and it's just such a beautiful thing to see.
'It's his favourite thing. And he's like, 'This is going to be your favourite thing.' So I'm really excited."
Pete realised he can juggle both acting work and parenthood after seeing his The Pickup co-star Keke Palmer, 31, look after her two-year-old son Leodis - who she has with her ex-partner Darius Jackson - on the set of the comedy-heist movie.
He told Extra: "What was cool is when we were doing The Pickup, Keke's baby was just born and she had him on set the whole time, and she would go into a take and then run over, you know, play with the baby, and it made me realise it's possible to co-exist in both worlds. You know?
"I was really impressed with her… the way she was parenting on set."
Pete thought it was "cool" to get parenting advice from his idol, acting legend Eddie Murphy, 64 - who has 10 children.
He said: "He actually, his advice was the best.
"He goes, 'I have no advice.' He goes, 'Because you can't really tell anybody how to raise their own kid. But it's going to change your life and you're going to love it, and I'll know you'll be good at it.'
"So, I mean, that's a cool thing to get from your idol, you know?'

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's chemistry 'just grew naturally'
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson "just like each other". The 58-year-old actress has been romantically linked to her Naked Gun co-star in recent weeks, and while she hasn't confirmed or denied the rumours, Pamela admits that they have a great chemistry. She told Extra: "We just like each other." The Hollywood duo loved working together on the new comedy movie, and Liam admits that their friendship grew very naturally. The 73-year-old actor said: "It just grew naturally. We didn't force it, just allowed it to grow." Pamela also relished the experience of starring in a comedy movie. The actress explained: "It was so much fun. It was such a joy to go to work and to work with such talented people and the director, Akiva Schaffer, he's just a comedic genius. "It's interesting, it's very serious and very hard work, but it's all about timing. We had a good time." Earlier this month, meanwhile, Pamela observed that all actors need to show "courage" in their careers. The movie star actually feels she performs at her best whenever she's "terrified", like when she sang in The Naked Gun. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Pamela explained: "You have to have courage. You have to have courage to be an actor at all. But that's my happy place is when I'm terrified. "I actually really enjoy singing. I love being on stage … The feeling is so rewarding because I feel like we repress so much of ourselves, and especially as an artist, and I love to write and journal and write poetry, but performing and working on a movie is another way to express yourself because everything is loaded." Pamela revealed that she actually leaned on her own life experiences for her Naked Gun performance. The actress - who rose to international stardom by playing 'C.J.' Parker in Baywatch in the 90s - said: "All the words to that song, I'm thinking of personal experiences in my life, and so I'm able to get it out even in a crazy scene like that. So it's not just spitting out the words, it's performing some of your innermost thoughts."

Keke Palmer: You should never be afraid to evolve
Keke Palmer wants her son to know that "happiness is his to take". The 31-year-old actress - who has Leo, two, with her ex-partner Darius Jackson - wants her baby boy to know that he "can always become someone new". Asked what she hopes Leo learns from her, Keke told Extra: "Just to never be afraid to evolve. I think we get so caught up in our storylines, and even when they're tough, we have a hard time getting out of them, but you can always shape-shift. You can always become someone new and let your happiness, let your joy and your peace, be that guiding force. "I want him to know that happiness is his to take, but we got to take it, you know?" Meanwhile, Keke recently revealed that she found it "really, really hard" to regain her pre-pregnancy figure. The Hollywood star told People: "You have to get back to yourself after the baby. It's really, really hard. "Anybody with kids knows sometimes it can take three, four, five years. It really wears your a** out." Keke revealed that Pilates has been key to her workout routine. The actress shared: "I'm a Pilates girl down, I don't care. It's the Pilates. And I need people to know it doesn't matter what that scale says. It matters about the muscles. That's what I love about Pilates. It don't matter what your size is, your body is going to be snatched with Pilates." Keke combined her workout routine with a healthy, balanced diet. She said: "If you could find a dance class, Pilates class, a yoga class, a cycling class, whatever class that you like that can happen at the top of your day before you go to work, it will do wonders. The consistency of that will do wonders. And then I'll say, make your own food. I know, I know it's a lot. Nobody wants to do the meal prep s***, but making your own food and knowing what you put in it, it does wonders. "Making your own meals, keeping it consistent with some type of activity. It really does transform your body. And then fun stuff. Sometimes we forget that everything don't have to be a serious workout. What if I just go play tennis or pickleball with my girl? What if we just go swimming for a day? You know what I'm saying?"

Gracie Abrams struggled with painful acne
Gracie Abrams felt like a "different person" when she experienced painful acne flare-ups. The 25-year-old singer is known for her luminous, natural beauty look and she admitetd she is "well-versed in complexion products" because of the problems she experienced with her skin when she was younger. She told People magazine: 'When I went to college I had bad, painful, cystic acne on both cheekbones, chin, jawline. "If you ever experience that kind of flare-up where it makes you feel like a different person and it actually physically hurts." Gracie is the globaal brand partner of Hourglass Cosmetics' campaign Any Time. Any Place. Any Wear, and she fell in love with their Hourglass Complexion product after trying various "crazy steps" to cover her blemishes in the past and finally finding a product that "doesn't make [her] break out". She added: "It's nice to know you're putting things on your face that don't make life harder. Hourglass does the opposite.' The That's So True singer also praised the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer. She said: "It is still radiant even though it can be full coverage. "It really looks and feels like a second skin." Gracie's make-up artist, Emily Cheng, has taught her how best to use the product, including putting it on the back of her hand then spot-treating where her face needs it. She added: "Emily taught me the tip of letting the concealer sit for two minutes. It dries down more before blending so that it is more long-lasting.' The Call Me When You Break Up hitmaker previously revealed she finds it "therapeutic" to do her own stage make-up away from other people. She told 'I like the time to myself in that way. I slot for 20 more minutes than I actually need, just because it's nice to have an hour of the day sitting alone in a room. I value that alone time very much, and I do think it's therapeutic. "I'll listen to a podcast, I like On Being with Krista Tippett. The guests that she has on are always so beautifully spoken and experts in their respective fields, and she's an excellent moderator." Gracie needs her stage make-up to be bolder than her everyday look. she explained: "[For my make-up] on stage it's really about emphasising certain features, because I'm so far away from so many people. "Off-stage, I use a concealer for spot treating, a blush and do my brows. I like fine highlighting powders that both set and give your face some sheen. "I'm not a lipstick person so I use a brown-ish lip liner and a glossy balm. For stage, I go a bit heavier with highlighter and blush. I fill my brows in more.'
