Cardi B, now a mom of 4, welcomes first baby with Stefon Diggs
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs welcomed their first child together, the rapper’s fourth overall following those she shares with estranged husband Offset.
The 33-year-old “Am I the Drama?” musician’s rep told People she “is healthy and happy” after giving birth to a son with the New England Patriots wide receiver, 31, just over a year after the couple was first linked in October 2024. She has not yet shared the name of her new edition.
On Thursday, the Bronx-raised Grammy winner, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, reflected on the milestone, writing on Instagram that her “last chapter was the beginning of a new season.
“Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world!” said Cardi, referring to the release of her sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?” in September. “A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve. This next chapter is Me vs. Me! It’s me against all odds me against everything meant to get in my way.”
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper added that she’s “learned I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become. That’s what this next era means to me and I’m stepping into it better than ever.”
She filed for divorce from 33-year-old Migos rapper Offset for a second, and apparently final, time in August 2024, following six years of marriage. The following month, they welcomed their third child together, daughter Blossom. The estranged musicians also share daughter Kulture, 7, and son Wave, 4.
Cardi revealed in September that she and Diggs — a father of two daughters — were about to start a family together, just ahead of starting her first arena tour in early 2026. The “Little Miss Drama” tour will hit Madison Square Garden on March 25 and the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on March 28.

Sarah Jessica Parker to be honored with Carol Burnett Award at the Golden Globes
Sarah Jessica Parker is going from someone who gives out prizes to getting one.
The Emmy- and Screen Actors Guild Award-winner — and judge for the 2025 Booker Prize — was named Thursday as the recipient of the Carol Burnett Award for her “outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.”
“Sarah Jessica Parker’s career embodies the very spirit of the Carol Burnett Award,” said Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, in a statement. “Her trailblazing impact on television and her dedication to storytelling across stage and screen have left an indelible mark on popular culture. We are honored to celebrate her extraordinary contributions to entertainment.”
The award will be presented during a new annual prime-time special, “Golden Eve,” honoring recipients of both the Carol Burnett Award and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, which this year goes to Helen Mirren. That special will air Jan. 8 on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
The main Golden Globes ceremony is on Jan. 11, hosted for the second time by Nikki Glaser.
Parker is perhaps best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s series “Sex and the City” and sequel “And Just Like That.” Her films include “Hocus Pocus” and “Hocus Pocus 2,” “Failure to Launch,” “The First Wives Club,” “Ed Wood” and “Mars Attacks!”
The Carol Burnett Award was inaugurated in 2019 and is presented to an honoree who has “made outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.” Past recipients include Ted Danson, Norman Lear, Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres. The first was Burnett herself.

Lady Gaga says psychotic break, not fibromyalgia, led to tour cancellations
Lady Gaga says a “psychotic break” upended the latter shows of her “Joanne” world tour in 2018.
The multi-hyphenate, 39, detailed recent years of mental health struggles in a Rolling Stone cover interview published Thursday.
“I did ‘A Star Is Born’ on lithium,” said the native New Yorker — real name Stefani Germanotta — who immediately after filming the best picture contender, for which she won an Oscar for best original song, pivoted to touring.
“There was one day that my sister said to me, ‘I don’t see my sister anymore,'” said the “Disease” crooner, who promptly nixed the last 10 shows of the “Joanne” world tour.
Upon axing the last 10 European shows in 2018, Gaga blamed her struggles with fibromyalgia, but now says she sought mental health treatment at the time.
“There was one day I went to the hospital for psychiatric care. I needed to take a break. I couldn’t do anything … I completely crashed. It was really scary. There was a time where I didn’t think I could get better,” she recalled. “I feel really lucky to be alive. I know that might sound dramatic, but we know how this can go.”
In 2011, Gaga admitted to “feel[ing] dead” when offstage: “Whether that is healthy or not … is really of no concern to me.”
The 14-time Grammy winner said in the new interview that she has since “weaned off a lot of” the antipsychotics she sang about on 2020’s “Chromatica” album.
The following year, while shooting Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci,” Gaga admitted, “I don’t think I was doing very well during that filming at all.”
Now “a healthy, whole person,” Gaga says she previously “believed in suffering for your art,” though it was “really not healthy.”
The “Poker Face” artist also credits entrepreneur fiancé Michael Polansky with helping her prioritize well-being, as he “wanted to take care of me” and “helped me to see that my life was precious.”
