John Legend will likely move family out of LA as 'threat still looms' after devastating fires
Legend and Teigen previously lived in New York, and noted they wouldn't make the move until their children are a bit older.
"Chrissy and I have always considered returning to New York, where we once lived," Legend told the Wall Street Journal. "We probably will, once our youngest ones grow up a bit. Every time nature shows its wrath, we wonder if it's time to head back East. Who knows."
"We're always going to be aware we may have to pack up and go," he later said about what's next for the family of six.
Of the LA fires, which began in the Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7, the singer said "the danger felt too close for comfort" once the Sunset Fire began to grow. So they evacuated and stayed at a hotel in Carlsbad.
"We didn't return until the following week," Legend told the outlet. "Our home was safe, but many weren't so fortunate, and the threat still looms. The fires were a collective trauma that shook everyone, including our kids."
"My childhood in Springfield, Ohio, wasn't as unnerving," Legend explained. "I didn't attend public school until I was 11. Up until then, my three siblings and I were homeschooled by our mom."
Legend grew up in a "working-class community." He shared a two-story, four-bedroom home with his father and three siblings on the east side of Springfield.
Teigen and Legend met on the set of the musician's music video for "Stereo." The two instantly hit it off, but did have a few bumps on their journey to marriage. At one point, Legend tried to break up with the model, but Teigen wouldn't let him.
In 2017, the singer told "The Guardian" that he'd tried to end the relationship and Teigen explained her side on X, formerly Twitter.
"It wasn't a typical breakup," Teigen tweeted at the time. "He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like 'no.'"
The couple married in 2013 and now share four children together.
"I'm so fortunate that we got to spend some time together on that day, Sept. 13, 2006. We're so lucky to have each other," Legend told Teigen in a video message shared with People magazine in 2021. "We have built a really wonderful family that I'm so proud of. I'm so honored that I get to parent with you and see the way you are with our children... see how creative and inspired and inspiring that you are as a mother."
"We've been through so much joy and some pain together. We've laughed together, we've cried together. I wouldn't want to go through any of this with anybody more than I'd want to go through it with you."

Rob Delaney on the ‘emotional budgeting' required to make ‘Dying for Sex'
Whether crossing the Atlantic to marry someone who's not all that into it ('Catastrophe'), sacrificing body parts to the schemes of a femme fatale ('Bad Monkey') or enabling a terminal cancer patient's dominant desires ('Dying for Sex'), Rob Delaney's become an expert at portraying men who'll do just about anything for their women — or man crush, if you throw in his 'Deadpool' appearances. Delaney first came to prominence making jokes on Twitter back when it could still be funny. He was previously nominated for an Emmy for writing an episode of 'Catastrophe' with co-creator and co-star Sharon Horgan. And now, with 'Dying,' adapted from Nikki Boyer and the late Molly Kochan's podcast about the latter's end-of-life erotic adventures, he's received his first acting nomination for playing Neighbor Guy opposite fellow nominees Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate. Delaney, who lives in England with his wife, Leah, and their three sons (a fourth child, Henry, died from a brain tumor at age 2½), spoke to The Times via video link while visiting his hometown of Marblehead, Mass. Does Neighbor Guy have a proper name? Not really. They thought about it and they just never gave him one. Unlike Nikki and Molly, Neighbor Guy is not one guy, he's an amalgamation of people and also some people they wished that Molly might have met. How would you describe him? He starts off as a real guy with neuroses and problems and foibles. He goes through a mini-enlightenment with Molly, who is so focused on the present and cognizant that her time is limited. Neighbor Guy makes the great decision to go along for the ride of the way she's living her life, and not to try to make it about him — and in so doing really benefits himself. While their dominant/submissive games generate a lot of humor, Neighbor Guy's not portrayed as a clown, as is the usual case for masochists in media. The real heavy lifting there would have been done by [showrunners] Kim Rosenstock and Liz Meriwether, who wrote it. The intent for him was to start as a slovenly, annoying neighbor, but under Molly's gaze transform into something more special, warmer and open. I was never worried about tone, the balance of humor, sadness, fear, anger and confusion. But were you ever embarrassed? Oh, sure. Masturbating with Molly on the other side of the wall and I'd catch a grip's eye while grunting or whatever. It'd be, 'Sorry you had to see that,' then we'd go eat bagels at the craft table together. How was working with Michelle? Everything you'd wish and more. She's really a kind person and an incredibly curious and generous performer. And she's very game for all the silly stuff, like making Neighbor Guy eat cake out of her hands. Styling each other's hair with lube in her hospital bed was kind of both wacky and lovely. Kim and Liz provided us with a great variety of scenes for our characters to get to know each other, challenge each other and help each other. Your sickroom lovemaking in the penultimate episode is like nothing I've seen before on television. We spent close to a week in that hospital room. Emotional budgeting was required. I did a lot of crying during takes and in between takes. That's the last stuff we shot together. By that time, I'd really gotten to know Molly the character and Michelle Williams the friend. So it was very difficult to watch her, at the height of her powers, dying. What do your characters from 'Catastrophe' to 'Bad Monkey' to 'Dying for Sex' have in common? I'm glad that my three biggest TV roles have been men who are striving, bleeding, failing, bargaining with women, because that makes the best stuff to watch. A man's going to work on a puzzle one way, a woman will another way. Work on it together, they can solve it. Or, alternately, kill each other. Either of those makes great TV. How has your 19 years of marriage influenced this work, and vice versa? 'Catastrophe' felt more like the first decade of my marriage, which was very confusing, trying by hook or crook to shed bad habits that I had. Now I've endeavored to be like an old dog who can learn new tricks, so humility has been the watchword for my second decade of marriage. You've coped with alcoholism, depression and catastrophic loss. Any lessons to impart? I'm almost 50, and now at least know that everyone has seasons of difficulties. I would say that acknowledging those realities ... I mean, it's not bad to be an alcoholic if you acknowledge it, don't drink and work through it. It's true I've been through some things that I would not wish on others. But the older I get the less unique I feel, which is great because nobody's unique.

Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine's archive
Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine — sort of. The X owner announced over the weekend that the company discovered the video archive for the popular short-form video app, thought to have been deleted, and is working to restore user access. Vine — something of a precursor to today's TikTok, but with only six-second-long looping videos — was acquired by Twitter back in October 2012 for $30 million to expand the social media platform's video ambitions. Unfortunately for Vine creators and fans, the company fumbled the app's potential and decided to shut down Vine in 2016 by limiting all new uploads. The following year, it was fully discontinued, though a user archive remained for a time. Despite no longer having an App Store presence, Vine still has a place in the internet's collective cultural consciousness. Through online compilations of the best Vines uploaded to YouTube, and through the careers of numerous creators who got their start on Vine, the company lives on to some extent, and its content continues to be discovered by new generations. Musk himself seemed interested in bringing back Vine after acquiring Twitter in October 2022. In a poll posted on the social media app, he asked Twitter's users, 'Bring back Vine?' to which nearly 70% responded 'yes.' Axios reported at the time that Twitter had devoted some engineers to working on the Vine reboot, but nothing ever came of it. It's unclear whether Musk has any ambitions for Vine beyond getting its archive back online, however. In the same post about restoring Vine, he also touted that Grok's new video-creation feature, Grok Imagine, also available to X Premium+ subscribers, is 'AI Vine.' That suggests that his interests in video creation no longer lie with human creativity, but in human-directed AI prompting. Whether or not Musk will actually deliver on the promise remains to be seen, as the X post could have just been another way to draw attention to Grok AI, rather than being representative of a real effort inside the company to make old Vines available for reposting.

Cardi B brings the drama with live crow and miles of fringe at Schiaparelli show in Paris
Cah-cah! On Monday, Cardi B made a head-turning entrance at the Schiaparelli fall 2025 couture show during Paris Haute Couture Week, arriving in a custom fringe and black velvet gown — as well as a live crow. On the front steps of the Petit Palais, 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker, 32, posed for photos in the one-of-a-kind custom Schiaparelli gown, which boasted strings of pearls and sculptural shoulders. In videos captured at the event, the bird was perched on Cardi B's right hand, continuously fluttering its wings. 'lmfaoo Cardi B telling paparazzi to quiet down so they won't upset the crow ,' one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, sharing a clip of the rapper signaling everyone to lower their voices. 'cardi brought a live crow on leash with her to the schiaparelli show…… she's always fully committing to a look love that,' another said. A third added, 'Not Cardi B came to the show with a real raven in her hand SHE IS THE DRAMA,' referring to her forthcoming album, 'Am I the Drama?' in which she holds a crow in the cover art. The musician wore her bob hairstyle in a slick side part, which showed off her chunky pearl statement earrings. Inside the show, Cardi B sat front row alongside the likes of Dua Lipa, Hunter Schafer and Karol G. Lipa, who recently confirmed her engagement to Callum Turner, stunned in a bridal white textured dress with a keyhole cutout. Meanwhile, Schafer and Karol G were both clad in strapless gowns, with the former in a mint green and champagne striped number and the latter sporting a black and cream printed look. Cardi B's fashion week outing comes amid breakout rumors between her and New England Patriots player Stefon Diggs. In June, the musician made their relationship Instagram official, sharing a post of the rapper cozying up to the NFL star on a yacht in Miami during Memorial Day weekend. However, she's since deleted the post. Seems there could be trouble in paradise. Solve the daily Crossword
