–Rihanna did a delicious photo shoot for Vogue’s May issue, and not since Demi Moore graced Vanity Fair has a celeb made pregnancy looks so good. In the interview, she talks about showing off her baby bump (“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, ‘There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle.’ I’m sorry — it’s too much fun to get dressed up. I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing”), and says she and A$AP Rocky weren’t planning for a baby “but certainly not planning against it.”
–Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta have split after eight years of marriage.
–Scarlett Johansson was on a podcast and talked about the weirdest rumours she’s heard about herself. “There was a rumor that went around for a very long time that said that I had sex in an elevator. That was a story that followed me for a long time. But I always thought that was outrageous. I was always thinking to myself, ‘That would be tough. It’s a very short period, the logistics of that seem so unappealing to me.’ I’m a person who’s terrified of being caught doing something I’m not supposed to be doing. So that made the story even that much more absurd to me.”

–Sean Penn says he “fucked up his marriage” to Leila George, but “I was not a fucking cheat or any of that obvious shit.” He explained, “As it turns out — this is going to shock you — beautiful, incredibly kind, imaginative, talented young women who get married to a man quite senior to them in years, they don’t actually love it when they get up from their peaceful night’s sleep and their new husband is on the couch, having been up since 4, watching all of the crap that’s going on in the world and has decided that 10:30 in the morning is a good time to neck a double vodka tonic and an Ambien and say, ‘Good morning, honey. I’m going to pass out for a few hours and get away from all this shit.’ As it turns out, women as described, they don’t love that.”

-I really liked this piece on why Bridgerton changed a key scene from the books, and what it reveals about why tropes work. (As much as I was bummed that they changed the bee sting moment, I was even more bummed that they dropped an early book scene where Kate witnesses Anthony saving Penelope from a public humiliation. Watching season two, I immediately understood why Anthony liked Kate, but it wasn’t as clear what she saw in him.)
-I’m bummed that The First Lady, which stars Gillian Anderson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Viola Davis, is getting bad reviews. Sounds like Pfeiffer’s turn as Betty Ford is the only promising part.
