Baby Santiago was born in LA at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre. This is Longoria’s first child, and fifth for her husband who has four other children from a previous marriage.

Ariana Grande: New Song, New Album, New Apartment

Life is great for Grande at the moment. Her new album Sweetener is slated for an August 17th release, she’s just blessed us with a new single ft. Nicki Minaj and is moving on up to a deluxe apartment with fiance Pete Davidson.

Hopefully she can sell those albums because DAMN that new apartment comes with a hefty price tag! The 4,000+ square foot, five bedroom apartment in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood costs $16 million. Then again, I don’t think money’s an issue… have you seen that engagement ring?

Jay-Z Turns Down Super Bowl

When the NFL asked Jay-Z to perform at the Super Bowl, the artist responded with “You need me, I don’t need you”. This was revealed in a new track he released with his wife, Beyonce, called Apesh*t (ft. Quavo and Offset).

If you listen closely around the 3:30 mark, you’ll hear: “I said no to the Super Bowl: you need me, I don’t need you. Every night we in the endzone, tell the NFL we in stadiums too.”

*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE*

Jay has criticized the NFL for their treatment of Colin Kaepernick. In the video we see at least eleven people ‘taking a knee’ during the Super Bowl lyrics.

In 2017 there were rumblings about Jay performing at the big game but he never addressed the situation publicly, until now.
