Dive into the details

What Are the Names and Gender of Chevy Chase’s First Grandchild?

Chevy Chase, the iconic 80-year-old comedian and “Community” star, has entered a new chapter in his life: he’s now a grandfather. His daughter, Emily Chase recently shared the joyous news on Instagram.

In her Instagram post, Emily shared the first glimpse of her daughter, Ivy Jay Baglieri, with a sweet photo of the newborn’s tiny feet wrapped in a pink ribbon. She proudly captioned the photo, “💕 Ivy Jay Baglieri 💕 08.01.2024.”

Chevy, thrilled by the news, responded with a simple yet heartfelt comment, “❤️❤️❤️.” Emily’s announcement quickly garnered warm messages of congratulations from netizens.

“Congratulations, Ivy Jay is so beautiful!! We are excited for you both!” wrote one follower, capturing the shared excitement. Meanwhile, Emily’s sister, Cydney Chase, chimed in, “I’m Over the Moon [sic]!! 😍😍”

Chevy’s excitement about becoming a grandfather has been building for months. Back in March, he shared a heartwarming photo of himself with Emily and her partner, Alex Baglieri, during her pregnancy.

The picture showed Chevy and Alex with their hands lovingly placed on Emily’s belly. “I can’t wait to be a Grandad!” Chevy wrote at the time, adding, “Congrats to my daughter @em_chases and @alex.baglieri ❤️.”

That same month, Emily shared a carousel of photos on Instagram, highlighting their excitement about the new addition. The post included shots of Emily, Chevy, and Alex, along with their adorable pet cats.

The post also featured a sonogram of the baby, Emily and Chevy playfully attempting a dance, and Emily’s mirror selfie, proudly displaying her baby bump.

Emily shared, “We can’t wait to meet baby Bags this summer (but the cats can)!! ❤️,” alongside another photo of herself in a printed white shirt, showing off her growing belly. As the pregnancy progressed, Emily continued to update her followers.

In May, Emily shared a family photo featuring her father, Chevy, and her mother, Jayni. Chevy, dressed in a blue shirt and jeans, smiled beside Emily, who looked radiant in a floral dress.

Jayni stood by her side, wearing a body-hugging outfit. Below the trio, their two dogs posed calmly, though not directly at the camera. Emily captioned the photo simply with, “🥰🥰🥰.”

This warm family moment resonates with Emily’s sentiments from a March 2024 interview, where she expressed her deep admiration for her parents. She described her father, Chevy, as “the funniest and most generous and loving person” she knows.

In addition, she highlighted Chevy’s dedication to their family. “He has a huge heart and everything he does is for us, his daughters, and our mom—who he has been completely infatuated with since 1980. We truly couldn’t ask for a better dad,” Emily explained.

When speaking about Jayni, Emily said her mom’s passions played a significant role in her life. “Her passion for environmental education, advocacy, and climate activism, was the chief motivator for me to seek out a career in my own niche of the environmental sector—wildlife conservation,” she said.

Which Dress Did Violet Affleck, 18, Reuse from Stepmom JLo’s Closet?

Violet Affleck, the 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, recently sparked a debate online after she was spotted in Los Angeles wearing a familiar dress.

The dress, a stylish Dolce & Gabbana piece, was first worn by her stepmother Jennifer “JLo” Lopez during a romantic Valentine’s Day date with Ben in 2023, a night captured by the flashing cameras of the paparazzi.

JLo, known for her glamorous style, had paired the dress with a white belt, gold platform heels, and diamond earrings, creating a chic and polished look. In contrast, Violet opted for a more casual vibe.

Seen from different angles during a daytime stroll with a friend, she skipped the belt, paired the dress with sporty red-laced sneakers and white ankle socks, and finished the outfit with her signature eyeglasses.

The dress fluttered gently, as did Violet’s straight hair, which blew softly in the wind. With minimal makeup for a fresh, relaxed look, her outfit quickly caught the attention of social media users.

Some criticized Violet’s choice, with one person commenting, “She ruined a D&G with those sneakers. What is happening to fashion [sic]?!?!” while another said, “Yikes. Ruined that dress.”

A third commented, “Sorry sweetie, but the dress with the sneakers was not a good idea [sic]! 😢,” followed by another who bluntly stated, “Looks horrific.”

However, others were more supportive. “What a sweet kid! Good for her!” one fan wrote. Another expressed envy and noted, “I love that she can raid Jlo’s closet. How fun that was for her. She seems lovely [sic].”

Another appreciated the practical approach, “Nice. Why waste clothes?” Someone else added, “Violet you have so many cool closets to look at❤️ I love that you chose that dress❤️ so cute on you ❤️ [sic].”

Violet re-wearing JLo’s dress comes after she spent time bonding with her in the Hamptons in July. The two were spotted chatting and shopping at the East Hampton Antiques & Design Show. Violet looked relaxed in another pink ensemble—a shirt and skirt with a white sweater tied around her waist, and she completed the look with a surgical face mask and sneakers.

JLo, meanwhile, stepped out in style. The acclaimed musician was wearing a white sleeveless top paired with flared denim jeans, a brown purse, and heels.

The pop singer and Violet enjoyed another stepmother-stepdaughter moment in Southampton, joined by Violet’s friend, actress Cassidey Fralin. JLo wore a long black dress with sandals and sunglasses, while Violet chose a red and pink shirt, patterned pants, and sneakers.

As Violet stepped into the spotlight with her stepmom, she showed that she was not afraid to mix her personal style with a touch of high fashion—even if it meant sparking a conversation.

Why Is Suri Cruise, 18, Leaving Katie Holmes’ Home?

Katie Holmes is bracing for a significant life change as her daughter with Tom Cruise, Suri Cruise, 18, prepares to move out and attend college. In an August 13 interview with Town and Country magazine, Katie shared her pride in Suri’s achievements.

“I’m proud of my daughter. Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her, and I’m happy,” the 45-year-old actress said in the interview.

As a mother who has worked diligently to protect Suri from the public eye, Katie now faces the challenge of balancing her daughter’s growing independence with their desire for privacy.

Reflecting on this new chapter, Katie shared her mixed emotions, recalling, “I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.”

While the “Dawson’s Creek” actress is preparing to adjust to her new role as an empty nester with the support of her community—joking that her book club “members are going to get annoyed” hearing from her—Suri seems to be facing her own struggles.

An Australian news publication reported on August 5 that Suri was seen in a more vulnerable moment. While walking through Brooklyn, she appeared emotional during a phone call, with tears streaming down her face and her hand on her forehead, visibly distressed by whatever was on the other end of the line.

Suri has long been under the public eye, enduring intense scrutiny from a young age. The paparazzi images of Suri clinging to her parents amid a crowd of cameras remain a powerful reminder of the pressures she has faced.

Katie has always prioritized Suri’s well-being, as she revealed in a 2014 interview with People, stating, “My main goal is to just let her know how much I love her. Just to let her know that she is so loved.”

As a single mother, Katie has balanced her career and motherhood with the support of a close-knit network, including her mother Kathleen, who is always “willing to fly” to her, ready to help, whether needed or not.

Katie said that she relies on her diverse group of friends, who have children of various ages, for support and advice, whether it’s for parenting tips, recipes, or simply an extra helping hand.

Even with help from others, Katie has always focused on being there for Suri as much as possible. “I do have help, yes, but … it’s your baby, you know? You want to be the one who is there,” she said.

How Did the Public React to Princess Catherine’s New Ring?

The Prince and Princess of Wales recently paid tribute to all of Team Great Britain’s athletes who competed at the Paris Olympics. They appeared in a video alongside an array of famous icons to sing the athletes’ praises. However, many found themselves transfixed with a certain shiny piece of jewelry glimmering on the princess’ left hand.

Kicking things off with legendary rap mogul Snoop Dogg, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ video shone a spotlight on the amazing feats and accomplishments Team Great Britain achieved throughout the Games.

“From all of us watching at home congratulations to Team GB,” Princess Catherine expressed as she stood next to her beau, Prince William. “Well done on all you’ve achieved, you’ve been an inspiration to us all,” added the prince from their Norfolk holiday home.

Although the prince and princess were joined by big sports stars like David Beckham and famous TV hosts and broadcasters like Gabby Logan and Clare Balding, the public focused their attention on the royal couple.

For the congratulatory dedication, Princess Catherine looked radiant in a chic Ralph Lauren top and left her dark locks loose. Prince William, who looked handsome with his stubble, sported a custom Team GB Adidas shirt.

“Well done @teamgb, what an incredible journey! Every athlete showed immense dedication, heart, and passion. You made us all so proud! Here’s to celebrating every triumph at @paris2024 and looking forward to more from @paralympicsgb_official later in the summer 🇬🇧🥇,” penned the prince and princess in their heartfelt caption.

While their feature in the video was as quick as lightning, Princess Catherine’s ring finger did not go unnoticed by eagle-eyed netizens. A stunning gold band set with gemstones delicately sat on her wedding ring finger.

This ring was quickly noticed as different from Princess Catherine’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring that once belonged to her husband’s legendary late mother, Princess Diana.

Initially, many netizens believed the new ring to be the promise ring she had received as a gift from Prince William. At the time of gifting her, he was still her boyfriend, while the two were still students at St Andrews University.

“Oh? Catherine was clearly wearing her wedding ring in the 📹, but not her engagement ring. Instead, she was wearing one that looks new or that we hadn’t seen before. On Tumblr, there was initial speculation that it might be the ring William gave Catherine with their birthstones,” asserted a social media user.

According to a media outlet, this ring is set in a rose-gold Victorian band and features both Princess Catherine and Prince William’s birthstones.

While the prince’s birthstone is a pearl because his birthday is in June, the princess’ birthstone is a garnet to represent her birth month—January.

The garnets on the promise ring that Princess Catherine wore on the day of her graduation are reported to represent commitment. On the other hand, the pearls symbolize purity and innocence. A Steven Stone jewelry expert dubbed the ring “priceless,” particularly because of its sentimental significance.

On the other hand, some people are under the impression that the ring Princess Catherine was seen wearing in the video is not her promise ring but an eternity ring. This cohort of the public also noted how they spotted diamonds and sapphires as opposed to pearls and garnets.

Reportedly, this ring was gifted to Princess Catherine by Prince William to commemorate the birth of their firstborn son, Prince George. “It’s an eternity ring,” stated an online observer of the ring that was seen in the video message.

“Catherine is wearing a new ring on her engagement wedding band finger. Is this the Sapphire Eternity band William gifted to Kate [a] few years ago? When not working, it’s a nice idea not to wear her very large engagement sapphire ring. Espec on vacation,” commented someone on X alongside a close-up photo of the ring.

Whether the ring is indeed the eternity ring or the promise ring Prince William gifted his wife years ago is still up for debate. However, there is no mistaking that the ring is clearly different from Princess Catherine’s engagement one.

How Did Halle Berry Look in a Sheer Outfit Next to Mark Wahlberg?

Halle Berry once again proved she’s the queen of red carpet glamour at the premiere of her latest film, “The Union,” held at the iconic Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday evening.

Berry made a grand entrance in a sheer, black dress that left everyone talking. This daring outfit was more than just a showstopper—it was a bold statement.

With its floral lace pattern, deep V-neckline, and fitted waist, the knee-length dress artfully revealed just enough while ensuring all eyes were on the star.

The Ohio native clearly enjoyed the spotlight, striking poses from every angle for eager photographers. The sheer fabric of her dress provided tantalizing glimpses that had heads turning.

Complementing her ensemble, Berry chose black pumps adorned with double leather straps and semi-sheer mesh material, adding an extra touch of sophistication.

Her facial look was equally captivating. With her chin-length brunette bob styled in soft, beachy waves, Berry exuded effortless elegance. She kept her makeup simple with warm dramatic smoky eyes and completed her radiant, sun-kissed look with a hint of soft pink blush, a glimmer of gold highlighter, and a glossy nude lip.

Berry’s accessories were simple but classy. She adorned her ears with diamond-studded circular earrings and stacked several dainty rings on her fingers. Her bright white manicure provided a striking contrast.

Berry’s recent red carpet appearance left little to the imagination. She also attracted attention and sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and critics alike. One enthusiastic fan gushed, “She looks good in it. As lingerie, I love it, but not so much as a dress.”

It seems Berry’s fearless fashion choice had some wondering if it was more suitable for a boudoir than a premiere. Age-defying glamour was another hot topic. Berry, at 58, had fans marveling at her youthful radiance. “58????? What?????” exclaimed one astonished admirer. “Dang she looks beyond amazing ❤️❤️,” they added.

Another fan was equally impressed, and exclaimed, “How is she 58. My brain is glitching! She looks fab. 🔥” Another added, “Prettiest 58-year-old, I’ve seen ❤️.” The consensus among her supporters was clear: Halle Berry, at 58, is still the epitome of fabulous.

Yet, not everyone was on board with Berry’s daring outfit. Critics voiced their opinions, with one commentator advising, “Put some clothes on and have some class.”

Another lamented, “She’s better than this,” and a third pointed out, “This ain’t an age-appropriate dress 🤦.” It’s clear that while Berry’s outfit dazzled many, it also stirred debate about fashion, age, and class.

Joining her was the ever-suave Mark Wahlberg, who, at 53, proved that age is no barrier to style. Wahlberg opted for a chic, understated look with a white T-shirt, a muted blue zip-up jacket, and black pants.

His white sneakers added a modern touch to his effortlessly stylish ensemble. The actor was in high spirits, flashing a wide grin for a family photo that featured his supermodel wife and their kids, showcasing a picture-perfect family moment.

As Berry and Wahlberg posed together, their chemistry was undeniable. However, she sparked reactions from critics with more than just her provocative dress. “Low class hugging him dressed like that and he’s married,” wrote one person. Another simply commented, “Oh no no NO!”
