Harry Styles comes in. No, he won't literally be able to travel to everyone's homes like some sort of British Santa Claus to actually sedate them, but his voice will help you fall asleep as you listen to him read a bedtime story.

Forbes, the financial magazine that used to proudly call itself "The Capitalist Tool," has appointed itself the unofficial keeper of the list of the world's billionaires, but its methods of actually verifying private net worths have always been a bit opaque and up to question. Now, in a rare rebuke, the magazine has retracted its claim that Kylie Jenner is officially a billionaire.

Three days before she postponed the rest of her “Where Do We Go” tour, Billie Eilish kicked it off in Miami with a show that also served as a screening for Not My Responsibility, a short film the 18-year-old made to accompany her across North America. It didn’t disappear completely; a shaky, vertical iPhone version uploaded the following morning now has more than two million views.

It says something about the degree of mess Lana Del Rey has gotten herself into that the announcement of her next album title—Chemtrails Over the Country Club—barely caused a stir. Last week, the singer posted an Instagram essay addressing the criticism that she glamorizes abuse, naming seven specific female pop stars in the process.

Just 24 hours after Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson went Live on W's Instagram—on which they discussed Mrs. America, spoke to each other in various accents, and Paulson taught Blanchett what “LOL” actually stands for—the dynamic duo have joined forces again. This time, it's in Taika Waititi and the Roald Dahl Story Company's storytelling series, “James and the Giant Peach With Taika Waititi and Friends,” which released its latest episode today.

Many have theorized that the pandemic will end in both a lot of breakups, and a lot of babies. For everyone who speculated that there would be a lot of babies by the time we're all let out of quarantine, well here's another drop in your bucket: Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are allegedly going to the next Hollywood power couple to become parents.

At this point, you or someone you know has probably celebrated a birthday in quarantine. But even amidst a pandemic, one thing remains the same: the age-old tradition of posting birthday tributes on Instagram, which Gwyneth Paltrow upheld this week when her daughter, Apple Martin, turned 16.

What’s the paparazzi to do when celebrities are staying at home en masse? It was a full month ago that Chrissy Teigen tweeted that she was considering throwing them a bone by staging a nip slip, and since then, things have only gotten worse. Teens are getting entrepreneurial, manufacturing their own gossip, but tabloids and other news outlets are still grasping at straws. If a celebrity goes for a walk, they’re guaranteed to make headlines, and it’s been that way for weeks. 

It's been just over a day since the rest of the world became privy to the big news from Grimes and Elon Musk: their child, X Æ A-12 Musk was born on May 4.

Celebrities are slowly but surely finding ways to still get a paycheck while quarantine. (The Biebers even made reality TV out of an afternoon on a row boat.) But no one has been as smart about it as Selena Gomez, who’s making the most of her at-home cooking sessions by turning them into a 10-episode unscripted series for HBO Max. An added bonus: She’ll also pick up some “invaluable” tips and tricks from a range of “master chefs.”

The highly anticipated baby from Grimes and Elon Musk has finally arrived.

It’s easy to forget that the Met Gala is ostensibly about a museum exhibition. From its very first edition, in 1973, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual extravaganza has only been about three things: the celebrities, the red carpet, and the drama. And with this year’s edition postponed indefinitely, it’s the drama we’ll most sorely miss. Distract yourself from the paucity this first Monday in May with a look back at some of its past scandals, here. 

With little else to do in lockdown, Justin and Hailey Bieber have spent their time filming a secret reality show. News of the very existence of the project was only made public when the first episode was uploaded to Facebook Watch today at noon.

Madonna is chief among the list of celebrities with the most interesting takes on the coronavirus, which she infamously christened “the great equalizer” while taking a bath in March. On Thursday, she Instagrammed another video addressing the coronavirus while engaged in an unusual activity. This time, she also shared some personal news.
