Brooks Nader reveals she tans 'totally naked'

Brooks Nader recommends "tanning totally naked". The 28-year-old model - who was the covergirl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2023 - has shared some of her top beauty tips, revealing that she enjoys tanning naked. Brooks told Extra: "I would highly recommend just waking up every morning and tanning totally naked. Lay in the sun. There's scientific studies that show if all of your special parts hit the sun, and you start your day that way, you're going to have a good day." Brooks is set to star alongside her sisters in a new reality TV series called Love Thy Nader, and she's warned viewers to "buckle up and get ready" for the show. The model - who competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2024 - shared: "I don't even know what the cuts are, but a little teaser drops today and there's a lot to be seen with this show." Brooks recently revealed that she can't wait to share her life with TV viewers. The model also acknowledged that the reality show will be full of "chaos" and "drama". Speaking to Us Weekly, Brooks joked: "There's four of us. I can't even count on one hand how many of them there are. "You can expect everything to be laid out there. There's chaos, there's drama, there's boys [and] there's girls. There's everything you can imagine under the sun. Just four girls from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, living in the big city in SoHo — all under the same roof. What can go wrong? It's bound to be chaos." Brooks also featured in the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and she admitted that her attitude towards photoshoots has evolved over time. The blonde beauty confessed to working out "three times a day" before she made her Sports Illustrated debut - but Brooks admitted that she's now much more casual and relaxed in her approach. She said: "My first year, I was such an anxious, crazy person [and] I worked out three times a day. This time, I ate a cheeseburger right before and kind of rocked into it. "It just depends on my mood, to be honest … I'm a vet."

Rihanna reveals her sons 'both love music'

Rihanna's sons "love music". The 37-year-old star has Riot, 23 months, and RZA, three, with rapper A$AP Rocky, and Rihanna admits that her sons have already developed a passion for music. The chart-topping singer told E! News: "Both of them love music. Like it's insane because I'm like, 'Is that me or is that you, Rocky?' They love instruments. They love music." Rihanna suggested that Rocky is the biggest musical influence on at least one of her sons, revealing that Riot has already developed a love of freestyling. The Work hitmaker - who is currently pregnant with her third child - shared: "That's definitely a Rocky thing, not me." Rihanna has relished the challenge of raising her sons, but she recently confessed that she's "always wanted" a baby girl. The singer has remained tight-lipped about the sex of her unborn child, although she admitted that she'd love to have a little girl one day. Asked about the sex of her unborn baby, Rihanna told Extra: "You have to wait and see. Oh, my gosh, are you guys going to be so hurt if it's a boy?' Extra's Terri Seymour then replied: "I think we're secretly hoping you have a girl … because you've got your two sweet, sweet boys." Rihanna subsequently admitted that she'd love to have a baby girl. She explained: "I've always wanted a girl. God knows best, right? And I love my boys." Rihanna also confirmed that her unborn baby's name will begin with the letter R, describing it as a family "tradition". She said: "I mean, of course. It's tradition at this point." Rihanna has enjoyed huge success with make-up and lingerie brands, having put her music career on the back-burner in recent years. However, the singer confessed in 2024 that motherhood has changed her entire approach to fashion and style. Speaking to Interview magazine, she explained: "It's more like I spend my time getting the kids dressed to death, and then I'm like, 'What's the most comfortable outfit to wear around them? What's not going to feel uncomfortable on their face or on their body or make me feel like I can't hold them properly?' Moms are lazy dressers in real life."

Billie Lourd predicts her kids will love Smurfs movie

Billie Lourd's kids will "freak out" about her Smurfs role. The 32-year-old actress stars in the new animated movie alongside the likes of Rihanna, James Corden, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Alex Winter, and Hannah Waddingham, and Billie is convinced that her kids will love the film. Billie - who has son Kingston, four, and daughter Jackson, two - told People: "I just love to do anything that they'll care about." The actress - who previously appeared as Lieutenant Connix in the Star Wars sequel trilogy - is "so excited" for her kids to watch the new movie. She said: "This might be my career peak because it's something that they're gonna freak out about, and I'm just so excited for them to watch it and love me more." Meanwhile, Rihanna - Billie's Smurfs co-star - is also delighted that her kids can now finally enjoy the movie. The chart-topping singer - who has RZA, three, and Riot, 23 months, with A$AP Rocky - recently told Extra: "We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting. "Everybody gets to watch it on the 18th. So, we're really going for it now. It's finally being birthed." Rihanna explained that the film's premiere felt "so far away" when the project began. She said: "We've been working on it for so long. So, like, a few years now, actually. And it's happening … You know, you start working on something and 2025 feels so far away and then we're here." Rihanna's sons weren't aware of her involvement with the movie. However, the singer - who has largely put her music career on hold in recent years, in order to focus on other ventures - was looking forward to seeing the reaction of her boys. Asked if they knew that she was playing Smurfette in the film, Rihanna replied: "The boys know nothing, they're being introduced to Smurf Village right now, the blue carpet, and next is going to be me watching their reaction when they realise my voice is coming out of the screen. I can't wait for that one."
