Machine Gun Kelly reveals name of his and Megan Fox's daughter
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox's daughter is called Saga. The former couple welcomed their little girl into the world in March, and the 35-year-old musician - whose real name is Colson Baker - has now shared the tot's full name in a new Instagram video. MGK shared a post, in which he played a ukulele for the tot, whose face couldn't be seen as she rocked back and forth, cooing in the background. He asked the baby before he started to play: "You ready?" He captioned the post with his daughter's full name, writing: "Saga Blade Fox-Baker." The Emo Girl hitmaker - who also has 15-year-old daughter Casie with former partner Emma Cannon - had previously sparked confusion about his baby's name. When he announced Megan had given birth, MGK wrote on Instagram: "she's finally here!! our little celestial seed [tears and heart emojis] 3/27/25 (sic)" Much to his amusement, many fans then assumed the baby had been named Celestial Seed. A few days after her baby, he shared a screenshot of a TikTok video about the birth announcement and wrote on his Instagram Story: 'Wait guys…her name isn't 'Celestial Seed' [cry laughing emoji]. 'Her mom is gonna tell you the name when we're ready." Megan and MGK split in November, shortly after it was announced that the Jennifer's Body star was pregnant. And the 39-year-old actress - who also has sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, eight, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green - later admitted her baby was a "happy surprise" because her pregnancy wasn't planned. Sharing a clip from Hulu's new comedy 'Overcompensating', in which she makes a brief cameo, Megan wrote on her Instagram Story last month: "38 years old six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise). Please stop listening to the patriarchy. Women are eternal light beings.' The day after Megan gave birth, MGK revealed he had "composed the score" which was playing as his daughter was born. He wrote on his Instagram Story: 'Born into 432 HZ. What an epic journey praise god [piano, drum, music note, guitar and trumpet emojis] (sic)" He also gave his collaborators, including friend Travis Barker, a shout-out in the post.

Amanda Seyfried calls for ‘more original' movies amid Mamma Mia 3 talk
Amanda Seyfried expressed her frustration with the prevalence of sequels in Hollywood, stating a preference for "original content" which she views as "scary and brave." Seyfried acknowledged the financial motivation behind sequels but admitted she would "do Mamma Mia! 3 in a heartbeat." Seyfried's remarks were made during an interview with Rachel Brosnahan, where they discussed the upcoming Superman movie and the potential for a "Barbenheimer"-like cultural phenomenon this summer. Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in the new Superman film, agreed that she would return for a sequel. Seyfried also revealed that she is working on a sequel to the 2009 cult horror-comedy Jennifer's Body, despite her co-star Megan Fox 's character's death in the original film.

Miley's Brother Slams MGK, Attacks Megan Fox's Kids
If you have issues with another celebrity, fine, but kids should NEVER ever be used as collateral damage in your drama, but that's just what Trace Cyrus decided to do. Earlier today, the 36-year-old musician, who also happens to be Miley Cyrus's half-brother, took to Instagram to voice his frustrations, where he alluded that people were comparing him to other artists, particularly Machine Gun Kelly. Trace is no stranger to social media rants. In the past, he's released several videos and posts about his estranged relationship with his adoptive father, Billy Ray Cyrus, UFO sightings, supporting Trump, and most recently, his ex and former Disney Channel star, Brenda Song. This time, he took personal shots at MGK while spewing offensive anti-gay comments: "And here's another truth I'm gonna say," Trace began on his Instagram Story. "If I didn't speak this way, and I wasn't as masculine as I am, if I fucking painted my nails and dressed all fucking homosexual like a lot of these artists — you know who I'm talking about — I'd have a record deal, and I'd be one of the fucking biggest artist." "I'm better than all these motherfuckers out there," he continued. "I'm a better fucking songwriter. I'm more fucking unique in all aspects of my life. I'm better looking. It's fucking true. So fuck off with all this shit trying to compare me to other people when I've been around way longer than all these other motherfuckers, and they all jacked my fucking style. So fuck off with that shit." He continued the tirade, this time leaving the subliminal messages behind, and calling the rapper out by his name. While doing so, in a way to disparage MGK, Trace referenced the rapper being signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records. MGK was signed to Bad Boy from 2012 to if you've been following Diddy's ongoing federal trial, then you know prosecutors allege that the music mogul attempted to "engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice." He is facing five criminal counts and has denied all allegations. "Don't you guys find it odd that Diddy is known for being the president of Bad Boy Records, and nobody he's signed in like the past fucking 10 years I've heard of except for one guy: MGK. that's the only person I know that Diddy signed in the past fucking decade or so? Fucking ridiculous." Trace then targeted MGK's ex-fiancée, Megan Fox, and the three young boys she shares with actor Brian Austin Green from a previous marriage — Noah Shannon Green, 12, Bodhi Ransom Green, 11, and Journey River Green, 8. She welcomed her fourth child, a baby girl, with MGK on March 27. MGK also has a 15-year-old daughter named Casie Colson Baker from a previous relationship with his teen love, Emma Cannon. The Jennifer's Body star has opened up about the way she chooses to parent her children, and why she allows her boys to live freely, instead of "micromanaging" them. After revealing that her oldest son, Noah, began to wear dresses at the age of 2, she refused to tell him that it was wrong. Instead, she bought resources, like books, to help him feel confident. "Sometimes, he'll dress himself, and he likes to wear dresses sometimes," Fox told The Talk in 2019. "And I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there, here in California, he still has little boys going, 'Boys don't wear dresses,' or 'Boys don't wear pink.'" "So we're going through that now, where I'm trying to teach him to be confident no matter what anyone else says," she added, sharing that after he'd recently been laughed at for wearing a dress to school, he told her, ''I don't care, I love dresses too much.'''Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn't even have to have anything to do with your sexuality." Trace appeared to hint at this by referring to her children as trans in a derogatory manner. He then concluded the rant by sarcastically congratulating MGK for choosing Megan to be the mother of their child, based on the kids she's raised thus far. "And what did he do after he signed to Diddy? He got with a girl who has three trans children. They're all trans, somehow. Is it three or four? Three or of her kids are trans. That's the woman that he thought was the best woman that he should be with. That's going to be a great mother for my future child. You're very smart, brother. Great job." Again, you're allowed to dislike people, but he should've never mentioned Megan's kids. It's extremely low. Looking for more LGBTQ+ or Pride content?

Why Amanda Seyfried is ‘resentful' toward ‘Mean Girls'
Amanda Seyfried doesn't think 'Mean Girls' merch is that fetch. The Oscar-nominated star, 39, shared that while she doesn't mind fans wearing clothing with her face on it, she's 'resentful' that her likeness is used for merchandise since she doesn't get paid for it. Seyfried opened up about the 2004 iconic movie while reuniting with her 'Jennifer's Body' co-star Adam Brody for Variety's Actors on Actors published on Monday, June 9.

I love it,' the actress, who played ditzy Karen Smith in the teen comedy, replied before sharing her thoughts on the 'Mean Girls' merch.

'Every store sells 'Mean Girls' T-shirts with our faces, photographs!' she explained, noting that her likeness is used on each item. 'Don't I [get something from that]?' The 'Long Bright River' actress went even further, wondering out loud if she allowed it to happen 'because I was 17 and dumb?' 8 'I'm a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money,' she told Adam Brody.

Amanda Seyfried and Adam Brody on Making ‘Jennifer's Body,' Surviving ‘O.C.' Fame and ‘Mean Girls': ‘Paramount Still Owes Me Money for the Likeness'
It's funny how the memory of a demonic teenage girl who feasts on human flesh can spark nostalgia. But that's how it works with Amanda Seyfried and Adam Brody. The stars of two of this season's buzziest shows — the harrowing cop drama 'Long Bright River' for Seyfried and the hit romantic comedy 'Nobody Wants This' for Brody — met almost 20 years ago on the set of Karyn Kusama's cult horror classic 'Jennifer's Body.' Seyfried played the nerdy and devout best friend of Jennifer, the aforementioned demon, played by Megan Fox, while Brody was cast as a douchey aspiring rock star who performs a satanic ritual meant to bring fame, and winds up creating a monster. More from Variety Natasha Rothwell and Sterling K. Brown Get Honest About 'White Lotus' Rewrites, Doomsday and Being No. 1 on the Call Sheet: 'For the Longest Time I Thought It Meant Something' Sam Nivola and Cooper Koch Confront Nepo Baby Criticism and Being Accused of Playing Sexual Deviant Brothers: 'You Still Have to Love Your Character' Parker Posey Tells Lisa Kudrow to Star in 'The White Lotus' Season 4 as They Bond Over Sitcom Struggles and Why Phoebe on 'Friends' Was 'A Lot of Work' Considered a flop at the time, the film found new life and cross-generational fans in subsequent years. It also provided the perfect occasion for a reunion for the actors, who have even more in common than 'Jennifer's Body.' Seyfried bought Brody's Hollywood home, and the two also shared a bedroom in 'Lovelace,' the 2013 film about the trailblazing '70s porn star Linda Lovelace. Here they reminisce about trying to get Harvey Weinstein's attention for their early indies, parenting in show business and the overwhelming fame they gained as teens with 'Mean Girls' and 'The O.C.' Amanda Seyfried: Did you play that video game 'Guitar Hero' with us on [the set of 'Jennifer's Body']? Adam Brody: No. But I think you had a rental car, and we drove to a beach. Seyfried: Yep. We got high. Brody: I don't remember that. I was too high to remember that. Seyfried: I don't know if I could do pot again. I think I'm allergic to it. I had some bad experiences. But I remember that being the most peaceful. That was probably the last time. I might have also gotten stoned with you at your house that I now own. Brody: What a host. Seyfried: You have an effect on people. Look at what's happening: You're in a hit show, and people are gasping, 'Adam Brody.' Brody: I don't think it's pot-related. Seyfried: It's just that you make people feel at ease. Brody: I really appreciate that. I'm pretty attuned to people's discomfort. Seyfried: Everybody watched 'Nobody Wants This.' But with our shows, we're talking about opposites when it comes to genre and tone. Brody: Yours is sad and dreary. And you're in almost every frame. Was it a lot of heavy lifting? Seyfried: It was the first time I had been away from my kids five days a week. Our days were so long, I'd stay in the city and then I'd go home on the weekends. That was a lot of 'I'm here for you, kids. If I end up taking a nap accidentally, you can cuddle with me.' Brody: You were a producer on this as well. What did that mean? Seyfried: I was the kind of producer whose agent just negotiated a credit. But I did have the leadership role on set. I was No. 1 on the call sheet, which was nice because you set the tone. If you're a No. 2 or 3 and you have an asshole No. 1? The show can just be [awful]. Brody: I haven't been a lead on a series in a while, and I enjoy saying, 'OK, we're all going to be here for a minute. This is the family; let's get into a groove.' Seyfried: My friend Katherine Pope, who works with Liz Meriwether and produced 'The Dropout,' sent me this beautiful book, 'Long Bright River.' I thought, 'OK, I'm ready for this.' The strike had just ended. What about you? Brody: Kristen Bell and I are connected in a few ways. I heard through the grapevine she was doing this and was really recommending me for it. I knew I had a job at the other end of the strikes, and it did afford me some time do research. Seyfried: The show was originally called 'Shiksa.' Brody: It was. Seyfried: That's a genius title. We need romance. Brody: That's something that I love doing. It doesn't come your way that often, and if it does, it's not good. They make [fewer romances] now. Romance and comedy are a pure dopamine hit and were sorely needed in 2024. They're going to be sorely needed in '25. In terms of the interfaith relationship, I think it's been relatable. So many people have come up to me and said, 'My wife is a shiksa.' We're a great stand-in for any differences between two people, philosophical or cultural. When you merge two individuals, growth and compromise is what you have to navigate. Seyfried: And it's about what your families want. It's 'Romeo and Juliet.' Brody: On 'Long Bright River,' the kid who plays your son is so good. We're parents of similar-age kids, and I haven't portrayed a parent yet. Had you done that before? Seyfried: As soon as the people of Hollywood understood that I popped something out of my body, they're like, 'You're a mom now.' And it comes with a lot of benefits. The roles are richer. Are you more collaborative now that you're in the second season of 'Nobody Wants This'? Are you bringing your own ideas? Brody: It's a very collaborative set, but I would say the first season was so in flux that we were finding the show together. Now we know what we're doing, so the die is cast and there's a little less to discuss. Seyfried: Remember when you played an iconic teenage character on 'The O.C.'? Brody: In my 20s. You were younger when you did 'Mean Girls,' right? Seyfried: I was 17, the perfect age for that. Except my mom had to live with me. Brody: I was that Steve Buscemi meme of the old man saying, 'Hello, fellow kids.' Seyfried: You weren't that old. Are you kidding? The people from '90210' were in their 30s. Brody: Have you rewatched 'Mean Girls'? Seyfried: No. It's on often enough though. I love it. I really love seeing my face on people's T-shirts. I'm a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money for the likeness. Every store sells 'Mean Girls' T-shirts with our faces. Don't I [get something from that]? Even the girl at TSA tells me it's her favorite movie. Oh my God, remember when we did 'Lovelace,' and I gave you a blow job? Brody: An iconic blow job. The deep throat — the titular deep throat. How do you feel about that movie now? Seyfried: I had a great experience. It was a move towards attracting a level of respect for skill as opposed to … I didn't care about the reception as much as just changing the idea people had of me in the business. It's just so easy to get pigeonholed. Brody: I remember Harvey Weinstein bought it. Seyfried: I had heard a few rumors about him, but not to the extent that it became. I invited him to the screening [at Sundance]. He showed up and said, 'I bought it,' and I gave him the biggest hug. The whole room was buzzing. He was the big papa of the room — we all needed him to want our project if it was an indie, because that meant it was going to go somewhere. So 2003 was the year I graduated and did 'Mean Girls,' and the year you started 'The O.C.' We both had these pivotal career moments, and you became a pop star overnight. I can't imagine that was easy. Brody: It was. We were in a bubble. It was pre-social media. I can't imagine it now. Now it seems like an incredible responsibility, where you could fuck your whole life up in one second. I'm really impressed with some of these kids who have this awesome responsibility of huge platforms, and some of them are brave and do what's right. Seyfried: I think doing what's right is just hiding in a bunker. We're making another ['Jennifer's Body']. Are you going to do it? Brody: I heard. I wasn't contacted. I died [in the first one]. Seyfried: So did Megan Fox, and I'm not doing it without her.
