He’s ready for his close-up! Rihanna, 34, took to TikTok on Dec. 17 to share an adorable video of her son, whom she welcomed with her partner, A$AP Rocky, 34, in May. In the precious video, their little boy can be seen smiling at his mother, who asks her son (whose name she’s yet to share), “You tryna get Mommy’s phone?” This marks the first time RiRi has posted on TikTok. (She captioned the video “Hacked.”) The singer, says a source, “is filled with pure joy these days. She knew she’d love being a mom, but her love for her son knows no bounds. She never imagined life could be this good.”…

SECRETS OF TITANIC Jack and...Madonna?! Twenty-five years after Titanic sailed into box office history, fresh behind-the-scenes secrets are emerging. One shocker: Madonna, 64, was originally considered for the role of Rose (which ultimately went to Kate Winslet, 47). “Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Cameron Diaz, Sharon Stone and Gwyneth Paltrow were also considered, but Madonna came close to getting it, even though that would have made Rose much older,” a source tells In Touch.

He denied it, but it’s hardly the first time the music star has been accused of bad behavior. A fan named Mike shared a story on Reddit about how he and a female friend once approached the Maroon 5 frontman, 43, to ask him to sign something for them, but Adam declined, telling Mike’s pal, “I don’t give autographs to ugly chicks.” JESSICA RUBS HUMMUS ON HER DRESS A woman named Tamaran — who assisted various celebrity stylists between 2008 and 2017 — took to TikTok in 2020 with stories about female stars she claimed were the worst to work with, based on her own experiences and those of her friends. Actresses including…

AVA & REESE While the rest of the world thinks Reese Witherspoon and influencer daughter Ava Phillippe, 23, look just like twins, the Legally Blonde star, 46, begs to differ. “She and I don’t see [the resemblance] that much,” Reese said in October. DIANA & TRACEE Diana Ross, 78, has been one of music’s most glamorous divas for decades, so it makes sense that daughter Tracee Ellis Ross, 50, would get some of her signature style. “I love that I look like my mama,” the Black-ish alum has shared.
