Kevork Djansezian/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images(LONDON) — Brace yourselves, a Game of Thrones baby is coming.  Show alums Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are expecting their first child together.

Leslie, who played Harington’s love interest Ygritte in the HBO series, confirmed her pregnancy when posing for the cover shot for the British publication Make Magazine.

The magazine’s fashion editor Ursula Lake broke the news before the article hit the stands, writing to Instagram on Saturday, “A very special all woman team photographic shoot capturing Rose at this wonderful time as she prepares for motherhood for the first time!”

Lake posted a black and white photo of the Scottish actress, who is wearing an elegant black and beaded gown, standing to the side and happily showing off her pregnancy.  

As for whether or not fans will hear from Harington or Rose themselves regarding their little one, neither actor maintains a social media presence and are famous for keeping their relationship out of the limelight.

The two met in 2011 when filming the second season of Game of Thrones and were romantically linked a year later.  Harington and Rose — both 33 — made their red carpet debut as a couple in 2016 and tied the knot on June 23, 2018.

Gwyneth Paltrow celebrates birthday in her "birthday suit"

• No Comments • Entertainment News

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) — Gwyneth Paltrow turned 48 and what did she do? Dropped a naked selfie on Instagram. 

On Sunday, the Academy Award-winning actress shared a photo of herself in the buff, covering her chest, and with her right leg raised and wrote, “In nothing but my birthday suit today… thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and thank you to @goop ‘s insanely amazing brand new body butter for making me think I can still get my kit off.”

Many other celebrities flooded the comments with birthday wishes and complimented the mother of two, however, not everyone was as supportive of post. 

Paltrow’s daughter, Apple Martin, 16, seemed a bit embarrassed by the nude pic and commented in all caps, “MOM.” The Goop founder replied with crying laughing emojis.

In addition to Apple, Paltrow has 14-year-old son Moses with her ex-husband Chris Martin. She is now married to Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk.

Dwayne Johnson breaks his silence on politics, announces he's voting for Joe Biden

Art Streiber/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images via Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Fans of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson finally know who he’s voting for.  The Hobbs & Shaw actor broke his longstanding silence on politics Sunday to formally endorse former Vice President Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris.  

“I’ve never publicly endorsed a presidential candidate or vice presidential candidate in my life, over my career,” the 48-year-old actor announced in a socially distanced YouTube video featuring Biden and Harris. “You guys are both obviously experienced to lead. You’ve done great things.”

Johnson not only expressed his confidence in the duo’s qualifications, but also noted that their “soul” is what earned his respect.

Referencing his late father Rocky “Soul Man” Johnson, the actor expressed, “My dad always said, ‘Respect is given when it is earned.'”

Johnson then posed the question to Harris and Biden about what they’ll do to ensure they earn the same respect from the American people.

“By doing what we say we’re going to do. By keeping our word. By leveling with the American people. By taking responsibility. When we fail, acknowledge it,” answered the former Vice President before extending that promise to his administration, saying it will be “representative of all of America.”

Harris noted the importance of running an honest administration, telling Johnson, “One of the foundations of trust is truth” even when it’s “difficult to hear.”

“People are grieving the loss of life, the loss of jobs, the loss of certainty, the loss of normalcy and to heal and get through this.  We’re gonna have to be honest about what healing will require,” added Harris.

Johnson gave Harris his honest opinion of her, calling the senator “smart and tough” and that, “In my opinion you are a certified bada**.”

The first presidential debate is fast approaching, taking place in Cleveland on Tuesday.

'Rumor Has It' Reba's working on a new record

• No Comments • Country Music News

ABC/Image Group LASince returning to her longtime label, MCA Nashville, earlier this year, Reba McEntire‘s last two projects have been re-releases of her classic albums, 1994’s Read My Mind, and 1990’s Rumor Has It.

But Reba’s not resting on her laurels. She’s busy working on the follow-up to last year’s Stronger Than the Truth.

“Right now, I’m looking for songs, and we’re narrowing ’em down,” she reveals. “I probably had fifty songs that I absolutely loved…”

“That’s what we’ve been doing is really listening…” she continues. “And if there’s a song that I kind of lose interest in, I will put it on the back burner for maybe later.”

Even in a global pandemic, Reba says there’s no shortage of songs in Nashville.

“The songwriters are hot right now,” she observes. “There are so many great songs out there and so many people have taken this time and this opportunity to sit and write. Everybody’s writing via Zoom, and they’re getting along great with it.”

That includes Reba herself.

“I go nine-hundred-mile-an-hour all day long,” she explains. “I’m exhausted when I lay down. And I sleep really well. But I love life and I enjoy doing what I do. So I just rechannel that to try to be more creative. I’ve even written — co-written — a few songs.”

In keeping with her positive outlook, Reba says we can expect a “happier album,” which is perhaps a harbinger of the changes she hopes to see once we put COVID-19 in the past.

“I hope our new normal is a better new normal,” she reflects. “I hope we’re nicer, I hope we’re kinder. I wish all this hate and anxiety would go away. I wish that would definitely go away. I want a better normal.”
