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."

Sarah Jessica Parker issues Hocus Pocus 3 update
Sarah Jessica Parker has been "having some conversations" about Hocus Pocus 3. The movie still appears to be in the works, despite a lack of updates in the past year, but the 60-year-old star admitted she and the cast would "like to do it". Speaking on Watch What Happens Live!, she said: "No more developments other than we would like to do it. "We've been having some conversations." In the 1993 original, Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy appeared as the Sanderson sisters, a trio of witches who were resurrected on a Halloween night. A year ago, Midler - who reprised her role as witch Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson in the successful fantasy comedy sequel in 2022 - urged Disney to hurry up with Hocus Pocus 3 while the cast are "still breathing". Speaking on Busy Philipps' QVC+ talk show Busy This Week, she said last July: "I haven't seen the script, but, I've heard rumblings. "I think if they're gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. "Get us while we're still breathing, I mean, God!" Midler also admitted on the show that she initially thought the 1993 original movie was a "dud", until it later became a "cult classic". In June 2024, the star revealed talks had taken place regarding a third film in the franchise. She told SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show: "Now, they're kind of talking about a third, very gingerly and very gently. "They are. They're talking about a third. The second one was a huge success." Midler also insisted her Hocus Pocus alter-ego is "probably the least like me of any character" that she has played during an acting career that has spanned more than half a century. The Stepford Wives star said: "She is the closest thing I will ever get to Shakespeare. She's from the era, from the time of Shakespeare. "She really does put it on, and yet she has all the great things you love in a great villain. She's vicious, she's hilarious, she's ridiculous-looking, and she doesn't know any of that. It goes completely over her head."
