Machine Gun Kelly leaves American Music Awards early to be with new baby
The Cliche hitmaker, who shares the baby with actress Megan Fox, was expected to present during the music awards show but he revealed to E! News that he was leaving after the red carpet to take care of his unwell daughter.
"She has a little bit of a fever," he told the publication at the Las Vegas event. "So I'm gonna just walk the carpet and go back, you know what I mean, and handle my business. Give her my pheromones, and let her heal up."
MGK, real name Colson Baker, noted that their daughter is doing "great" otherwise and added, "I was born to be a dad. Yeah, it's my purpose."
The musician, who has a 15-year-old daughter named Casie from a previous relationship, also gushed over the baby in an interview with Access Hollywood.
"I'm just so elated, It's just awesome," he said about being a father again. "They smell so good... I was just meant to be a dad."
MGK announced the arrival of his and Megan's first child together on 27 March.
The former couple, who called off their engagement last year, haven't clarified their relationship status but it has been reported that they're no longer together.
His red carpet appearance comes shortly after the Transformers actress called the pregnancy "unplanned but a happy surprise" on her Instagram Stories.
The Jennifer's Body star also shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, eight, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green.

21 Hit Songs You Never Knew Were Actually Covers
Many people prefer certain song covers to the original, which is perfectly fine. On the other hand, there are songs that people are clueless about, even if they are song covers in the first place! Which means I can now rock out to two versions of these classics! Here are 21 songs you didn't know were actually covers: "1985" by Bowling for Soup is a cover of the song by American pop-punk band SR-71, which was released just two months earlier in Japan before the manager believed it was a better fit for Bowling for Soup. Although probably more well-known, the emotional song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash is a cover of the song performed by the rock band Nine Inch Nails. "Respect" by Aretha Franklin is a cover of Otis Redding's 1965 song by the same name. Franklin really flipped the lyrics on their head to create an all-time classic. "Renegades of Funk" by Rage Against the Machine is a cover of the Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force song of the same name. The song "It's My Life" by No Doubt is a cover of the English band Talk Talk's original release in 1984. The iconic "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston is a cover of the 1974 song by Dolly Parton, which was featured on her famous album "Jolene." An absolute shocker to my '90s brain, but the 1997 hit song "Torn" by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia is actually a cover originally sung by American rock band Ednaswap, which was released in 1995. The popular song "Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls is a cover of the original song by Tori Alamaze. The popular '80s hit "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell is a cover of Gloria Jones's "Tainted Love," released in 1964. The song "Superman" by R.E.M. is a cover of "Superman" by The Clique. A B-Side track on the album "White Tornado," it's an R.E.M. gem. The mega summer hit from 1999 "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega is a sample of the original version by Cuban musician Dámaso Pérez Prado from 1950. The 1992 song "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus is a cover of "Don't Tell My Heart," which was first recorded in 1991 by The Marcy Brothers. The song "If I Were A Boy" by Beyoncé was performed initially by BC Jean in 2008. The song "Black Magic Woman" by Santana is a cover of the song by Fleetwood Mac. Mind blown. In my defense, the Santana version has more views on YouTube than any other version by Fleetwood Mac. "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band might be the more popular version, but it was originally written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen. The popular Joan Jett & the Blackhearts song "I Love Rock 'n Roll" is a cover of the British glam band Arrow's song "I Love Rock 'n 'Roll." "Dancing in the Moonlight" by the English band Toploader is a cover of the song originally recorded by Sherman Kelly's band, Boffalongo, which first released it in 1970. Then, Kelly rereleased the song with his new band, King Harvest, in 1972. So, technically, Kelly covered his own song. "Black Betty" by Ram Jam is a cover of a song credited to songwriter Huddie Ledbetter. The oldest recorded version was performed by James "Iron Head" Baker and a group of Texas prisoners in the 1930s. "Take Me to the River" by American rock band Talking Heads is a cover of the 1974 soul song by Al Green. The 1995 hit "Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio (ft. L.V.) is actually a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" from 1976. Lastly, and mainly for the youngins, Post Malone's cover of the alternative rock song "Only Wanna Be With You," originally released by Hootie & the Blowfish, is now a pop song featured in the Pokémon 25 soundtrack, which has 18M views on YouTube. Is there a song you were stunned to learn was a cover? Comment below (the song and artists)!

E! News gets the axe again
It's a terrible month to be a long-running entertainment news show. E! News is the latest legacy brand to get the axe after CBS announced the end of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last Thursday. Variety reports that the decision came from E! Network itself, 'as it looks to leverage its brand of entertainment coverage and commentary across digital and social platforms.' (For the record, Deadline has a slightly different read. It reports that the decision was passed down by Versant, the fledgling company in charge of the NBCUniversal cable channels Comcast sloughed off during its breakup.) While this decision is presumably as money motivated as the Late Show cancellation (at least as claimed by CBS), it's somewhat less surprising. The trades point out that the ways people consume pop culture news have changed dramatically since the show was first launched in 1991. People now get most of that information from their phones and social media, which reduces the need for a nightly news program. In that vein, E! fans don't have to despair entirely. The E! News brand will continue on digital platforms, with a focus on social media. Deadline reports that the show actually saw some pretty major growth on Instagram, TikTok, and the like in 2024, with viewership across all digital and social content up 50% from the previous year. In addition to the TV broadcast, the brand currently airs several shows on social media, including E! News' The Rundown on Snapchat, Hot Goss on Instagram, RE!CAP on YouTube. E! News will air its last broadcast half-hour on September 25. This actually isn't the first time the long-running show has been canceled. It was previously axed in 2020, but sprang back to life in 2022 after two years. Who knows—maybe fans will once again be able to watch E! News break down all of Hollywood's hottest gossip on TV in 2027. More from A.V. Club 3 new songs and 3 new albums to check out this weekend E!
