'We had a lot happening recently' Rihanna wishes she could 'slow down' amid pregnancy
The Work hitmaker is expecting with her and partner A$AP Rocky's third child, and she is keen for a rest after jetting all over the world of late to promote her new Smurfs movie, in which she voices Smurfette.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles, she said: "I'm going to have to slow down, I know."
Asked when she is planning to slow down, she replied: "I wish I could right now. Honestly.
"We had a lot happening recently, and we got through all of it.
"And now that I got home, we are right back to work, and, luckily, this is the stuff I love to do, and I'm just looking forward to being in one place while I do all of that."
Rihanna was joined at the premiere by her and Rocky's sons, RZA, three, and Riot, 23 months, and the couple's youngest took a particular shine to character Smurfette on the blue carpet.
The 37-year-old singer said: "He's a little flirt. He was so excited, he was like, 'Woah. What is this?' "
Rihanna is excited for her boys to watch the movie, because she is eager to see if they will recognise her voice.
She said: "I cannot wait for them to see the movie.
"I think that's going to be my favourite, favourite part when they recognise my voice or they're like, 'Hold on. What is happening here?'
"I can't wait to see what their reaction is going to be like."
Rihanna and Rocky are yet to reveal the gender of their upcoming third child, but she admitted there has been a "slip up here and there".
She said: "A few people know. But [there was] nothing spectacular. No [gender reveal] production.
"Just a slip up here and there, I guess."
Last month, rapper Rocky appeared to accidentally reveal that he and Rihanna are expecting a baby girl.
When asked by Entertainment Tonight at the Smurfs world premiere in Brussels if their baby is the "girl you've been waiting for", he smiled and said: "It is, man, it is."

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."

John Goodman shows off slimmed-down figure after 90kg weight loss
John Goodman is feeling good. The 'Roseanne' alum, 73, attended the 'Smurfs' premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday after he dropped 200 pounds on his weight loss journey. Goodman proudly showed off his slimmed-down transformation on the red carpet, posing for photos in a navy blue suit with a dark grey patterned tie and brown loafers. The actor voices Papa Smurf in the animated musical film directed by Chris Miller, the New York Post reports. The star-studded cast also includes Rihanna, James Corden, Nick Offerman, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh and Hannah Waddingham. At his heaviest, Goodman weighed 392 pounds before he kicked off his fitness journey in 2007. One of the first times he debuted his 200-pound weight loss was on the red carpet at the 62nd Monte-Carlo TV festival in June 2023. With the help of help of personal trainer Mackie Shilstone, Goodman lost the weight by giving up alcohol, making several dietary changes including adopting a Mediterranean diet, and maintaining a consistent workout regimen that involved taking 10,000 to 12,000 steps a day and using an elliptical bicycle and treadmill. 'It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you're going to eat next,' Goodman told People magazine in 2010. 'I wanted to live life better.' In 2016, he told ABC, 'I'd have a handful of food and it'd go to my mouth. I was just eating all the time. I was just eating alcoholically.' 'In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a 6-pack of Bud or whatever and just go back to my old habits,' he continued. 'Then this time I wanted to do it slowly, move, exercise. I'm getting to the age where I can't afford to sit still anymore. And it gives me the energy to work, 'cause work is very draining.' Goodman recently wrapped up his role as Dan Conner on 'The Conners.' The 'Roseanne' spin-off aired its series finale in April, and the closing scene featured Goodman sitting alone in the family living room and saying 'goodnight' directly to the camera. Executive producer and showrunner Bruce Helford told New York Post that the final scene was Goodman's idea. 'The Conners' aired for seven seasons from 2018 to 2025 after Roseanne Barr's controversial tweets got the 'Roseanne' revival axed. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Goodman revealed he hasn't spoken to Barr, 72, in 'about seven or eight years.' 'I'd rather doubt if she wants to talk to me,' the 'Righteous Gemstones' added.
